HOW TAFT WAS SOUGHT BY
M,KINLEY.

The Manner In Which the Republic
can Candidate Was Called to q
Larger Sphere Of Action.
One afternoon early In 1900, when
Judge William II. Taft was debating
decision Of the United States Court
In the Federal Building In Cincinnati.
telegram was placed In his hands.
He tore or the envelope and was sur
prised to find q telegram from Presl-
dent William Mckinley, reading:
IL shall take IL as a great favor IL you
will call on me some time next week"
Judge Taft guessed at the meaning
Of the summons and guessed wrong
He went to Washington and was shown
into q room at the White House, where
he met the President and Secretary
Long Of the Navy. Later, Elihu Root,
the Secretary Of War, came In. Then,
to use Mr.. Taft's own words:
"Mr Mckinley said that he wanted to
send me TO the Philippines to help in the
work Of establishing civil government as
the army moved on. I thought of my
place on the bench and hesitated. Be
sides, believed and said we could get
along without the Philippines.
"'But we have them and must take
care Of them the President replied.
"'You are at the turning Of the ways
in your life,' Mr.. Root then observed.
The bench Is the easy road. You can
stay there and be comfortable On the
contrary, the Philippines will demand per
sonal sacrifices and risks and much hard
work, but you will have an opportunity
of doing your country very great ser
vice. went home. and argued the mat
ter for two weeks"
The telegram to Cincinnati opened
the door Of American history to Will
liam H. Taft and made him the Repub-
lican candidate for President Of the
United States

main at 100000 and hence retain
a larger portion Of Its plant In idle

100 per cent Of the trade In some arti-
Gle, what plants shall II retain? II
can produce nothing until others pro-
duce; but II may produce an amount
equal to the production Of others, and
II hopes the trade will grow. What a
vision OF business uncertainty and con-
fusion, Of idle and impaired plants. Of
the ruin Of workingmen whose lives
have clustered around particular indus
tries and who depend upon their con-
tinued efficiency. Is presented by this
fanciful remedy for the destruction Of
trusts
Apart from this. II the dissolution
were effected In the manner desired
and portions Of plants could be sold
and were sold as suggested. to whom
would the sale be madel Would Il be
necessarily to foes or to those ambi-
tious to be competitors and anxious to
take advantage Of Its plight7
This proposal In Its utter disregard
Of the facts Of business, In its substi-
tuition Of the phantasies Of the imagin-
alton for the realities Of life, stamps
the Democratic platform with the fatal
stamp of 1895. The commerce and In
'dustry Of this country, the interests of
Its wage earners and Of its interdepend-
ent masses, who must rely upon the
stability Of business, cannot AFFORD to
give license to such vagaries.
In the solemnity with which this
proposal has been declared, and the in
slstence with which II In advocated, we
find an appropriate test Of the capacity
Of our opponents to deal wisely with
3he problems Of the day.
Oklahoma Triai i.ooneiusavS.
The fact that the first bank failure
In Oklahoma after the law went into
effect, was followed by immediate To
endorsement Of the depositors, proves
nothing as to the practicability Of the
system In the long run. The fact that
the State banks Of Oklahoma have
gained deposits since the system went
into operation, while national banks
within the state have lost. n true,
proves nothing as to the merits Of the
system. The law itself requires that
all public deposits must be kept In
banks that belong TO the system, and
this provision alone would cause q con-
siderable transfer Of deposits and In
duence some banks TO Join the system-
The real test Of the policy will come
In Its influence upon the banking busf-
Dess In the long run. Will Il tend to
secure more careful and prudent In
vestment Of the vast sums which the
people Of the country keep In banks, or
will II tend to weaken the personal re-
sponsibility for these funds and divert
them into incapable and wastsful
hands. II Is a superficial view which
lays all emphasis upon the Immediate
results Of the law and gives no con-
sideratlon to its violation Of funla-
mental principles and the consequences
which must follow.

Money Indebtedness is not the only
obligation we incurred and assumed
In the great civil war There was a
still greater debt, an everlasting obli-
CATION that could never be paid In full.
But In the years that have followed.
the Republican party has inaugurated
and developed pension laws under
which over three and one-half billion
dollars have been paid to disabled
veterans or to the survivors of those
who gave their lives for their country
and their flag. This pension system. a
product OF the policy Of the Republican
party. has no precedent in history and

Drynn's Crude Reasoning.
An example Of Mr.. Bryan's reason
ing Is found In his statement that
when a corporation controls so per
cent Of the total product 1t supplies
forty millions Of people with that prod
uct." There are, OF course, specialtes
which have limited market and are
used by a relatively small number OF
the people of the United States More
than 80 per cent, and indeed even as
much as 100 per cent Of the trade in
such articles may be In the control
of particular corporation This may,
In fact, be relatively small corpora
ton. 1t may never have aspired to the
unsavory renown of trust" But by
prosecuting its particular line with
fidelity and meeting satisfactorily
limited want; or by reason OF some
secret processes or advantage OF expert
ence, II may control the trade In Civ
en- article Of commerce. Or, suppose
concern controls the whole trade In
some useful byproduct which It has
found 1t advantageous to make, Is the
trade to be prohibitedi
The Democratic platform makes no
exceptions to cover such cases, and we
have learned that IL Is equally binding
as TO what IL omits."
II we could imagine such a crude
prohibition to be enacted into law, and
to be regarded as valid, what would be
the effect? Mr.. Bryan, with his usual
readiness, suggests that the concern
may sell as much OF its plants as are
not needed to produce the amount al
lowed by law. He speaks as though
every manufacturing concern had as
many fully equipped units Of produc-
ton as would correspond to any given
percentage OF trade which IL might be
required TO lop Off. Plants are not so
easily dismembered Reduction In out
put means reduction In work, reduction
in the number OF men employed and
curtailment Of the efficiency of a going
concern. Let us suppose a concern
which controls so per cent OF a given
product-that Is to say, makes and
sells 100000 In value out OF total
trade In the product amounting TO &c.,
100000. Is II to be compelled to reduce
its output to 100000 because only
100000 In value are made by others?
Then. II II could sell part of its plant
on Mr.. Bryan's theory, what should Ii
sell? Should II sell OF enough TO re-
,duca-its. CAPACITY to s5000.000. and
