MAKES HIS POSITION PLAIN.
MIR. Taft and the Injunction Plank In
the Platform.

The simple fact that Mr.. Taft
through his personal representatives
urged the injunction plank upon the
Republican convention is a sufficient
refutation of the disingenuous plea
that the declaration was revolutionary
and reflection upon the judiciary.
Secretary Taft is as far from being
an advocate of disorder as he is from
being servant of special privileges.
He exemplifies, moreover, the highest
type of jurist which this country af-
fords. His record on the bench is as
distinguished as his service in execu-
tive channels. No one is better en-
abled than he to puncture the silly
argument that to recognize limits to
irresponsible and autocratic power in
individual judges is to reflect upon the
integrity of the courts.
But the discussion over this injunc-
ton plank has served the useful pur-
pose of making Mr.. Taft's own posi-
ton known unequivocally to the entire
people. He has made his own plat
form on this as on other issues of pub
lie moment, and with or without the
injunction declaration as an expression
of the conventions views the people
will know exactly what to expect from
Mr.. Taft when they vote for him for
president.

HITCHCOCK WILL BE LEADER.
Is Chosen Chairman of Republican
National Committee-SheIdo
to Be Treasurer.

Hot Springs, Va. - Frank H.
Hitchcock of Massachusetts, chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee; George r. Sheldon of New
York, treasurer of the national COM
mittee, and Arthur |. Vorys of Ohio,
member of the national committee in
charge of the Ohio Republican head
quarters, which are to be in Cincin-
natl. This was the result of the
meeting of the executive committee
of the Republican national committee
here Wednesday.
The designation of Mr.. Vorys to be
in charge of the campaign in Ohio is
regarded as a solution of the embar-
rassment arising from the selection
of Mr. Hitchcock in preference to Mr..
Vorys BY this arrangement the cam
paign in Ohio will be in sense sep
arate from the balance of the country.
Vorys will be accountable only to
Taft.
The appointment of Mr.. Sheldon
as treasurer was a surprise and was
accompanied by an element of mys-
terry. Preceding the meeting of the
executive committee discussion of the
treasurership had centered upon Rep
resentative Mckinley of Illinois,
treasurer of the Republican congress
sional committee. 1t was generally
believed by the leaders of the party
who have been here to consult with
Mr.. Taft that he desired to have Mr..
Mckinley serve as treasurer of the
national committee and had practical
ly told him that he would have to sub
nit to be drafted" for that position.
Mr., Sheldon's appointment was up
on the recommendation of Cornelius
n. Bliss treasurer of the committee
since 1892. 1t is also stated that his
selection has the approval of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, with whom he was
classmate at Harvard. Mr.. Sheldon
is close personal friend of Mr. Bliss,

A project which may have impor.
tant results is to be undertaken in
Boston, says the Herald of that city.
The high school of commerce of that
city is about to send party of stu
dents to Brazil to study commercial
relations and trade conditions in the
southern country. The Brazilian gov
ernment, with fine courtesy, has made
arrangements by which these pupils
may have free transportation over GER
tain steamers and Brazilian railways
and reduced rate over other roads.
In effect, this is offering the visitors
every facility for getting about with
ease and at moderate cost and for
readily acquiring the knowledge of
which the students are in search.
Moreover, the facts indicate the Brazil
ians' readiness to meet our people in
trade and to do everything possible to
encourage the development of COM
merce between the sections.

Alonq the lsthmus,

President Amador is said to have
suppressed the now famous letter OF
Secretary Taft in which that bumptious
politician was given to understand
that the doctrine of the square deal
applies in Panama as well as every
other inch of territory for which this
government feels responsible. But
everything is peaceful enough for the
present along the isthmus. This, how.
ever, is not deceiving. A Chinese
typhoon does not require less time for
generation than a Latin American po.
litical revolt
Everything may be as peaceful as a
May morning until election day or the
day after, and then the tall grass may
blaze from the close firing of opposing
elements. In that case there will be
some quick work done by United
States jackies. The dispatch of ships
to the isthmus will be in line with the
political insurance policy issued by
this government to the world when
recognition was given the new repub.
lie of Panama. But both at Cuba and
Panama the determination of Uncle
Sam may be counted upon to keep the
hair-trigger insurrectionists from try.
ing their old election tricks.

FULL PUBLICITY is PROMISED
STATEMENT BY Mr.. TAFT AS TO
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
Republican National Committee Will
Comply With the Laws of
New York State.

Hot Springs, Va. - That the pub
licity of campaign funds is to
be made feature of the coming cam
paign was made very clear here FRI
day. Mr.. Taft had extended talks
with Chairman Hitchcock and George
r. Sheldon, treasurer of the national
committee, and the necessity for the
strictest possible compliance with the
New York law in relation to the pub
licity of campaign funds of the ma
tional committee was the chief topic.
Referring to suggestions that the
Republican party might receive funds
outside of New York and not include
them in the report of the national
treasurer, Mr.. Taft replied promptly
that it was possible to commit per-
jury in such a case, but he secuted
the idea that the purpose of giving
publicity to the funds of the party in
the coming national campaign is not
entirely sincere. Mr. Sheldon also
declared that the New York law in
respect to all the funds that come to
the national committee in whatever
state they may be collected will be
published, with the names of the
donors.
Mr.. Sheldon said he believed that
money for campaign purposes would
be very tight this year, but he did
not believe the publicity of campaign
funds would lessen the amount con-
tributed. He declared that compli-
ance with the law in this respect
would dispel the popular idea that a
vast amount of money is spent in ma
tional campaigns.

NOW TO WORK FOR VICTORY.
Harmony in Party Necessary for Re
publican Success.

Now for business. Judge Taft is the
candidate by a wonderful demonstra.
tion, and there is business to be done.
No candid man will deny that the
Republicans have need to be very
much alive. Their leaders strength Is
much. Their platform ia well con.
structed. The history they recite is
impressive. But divisions exist in a
number of states, all of which are nee
essary to Republican success in No
vember. Those divisions should be
healed at as early day as possible,
and Judge Taft is, on every account,
the man to encourage and to direct
the work.
In the first place, he wants to win.
He has drawn prize reckoned among
the greatest. A nomination for presi.
dent brings great qualification, but at
the same time imposes great responsi.
bility. Party followers look to the
nominee for inspiration and sugges.
tions. They work with all the more
zeal when assured of his approval and
support.
In the second place, Judge Taft has
demonstrated talents for harmonizing
serious differences. He is as much
of diplomat as executive. His tri.
umph in the Philippines grew out of
his ability to bring men of widely diff.
ferent views to act together. He han.
died dissensions in Cuba and in Pana.
ma with marked cleverness. 1t is
easy to believe, therefore, that this
power, which has been exercised so
successfully on strangers and aliens,
can be used as effectively on home
folk.
1t is Judge Tafts duty to bring all
Republicans together. No more inter.
necine warfare. All ammunition should
be used against the common enemy.
in New York, in Ohio, in Indiana. in
Wisconsin, in Iowa, wherever Republi.
cans have been hammering each other,
that hammering, by Judge Taft's inter.
position, should cease. For this cam,
paign, Hughes and anti-Hughes men,
Foraker and anti-Foraker men, Cum,
minis men and Allison men, La Toilette
men and anti-La Toilette men, should
all become Taft men, sinking personals.

likewise is it true that neither in his
mental poise nor in his temperament
does he offer anything that would
make for the slightest alarm in the
event of his elevation to the presiden.

absolute sincerity, and if both follow
him he will be the next president OF

AS TO "RETREATS"
BRYAN'S CHARGES BOTH ILLoGI.
CAL AND ABSURD.
Of No Plank in the Republican Plat
form Can 1t Justly Be Said That
a Position Has Been
Abandoned.
Mr. Rrrnn is unreasonable.

How could he reasonably expect the
Republican convention to inject enough
Populism and Socialism into its plat
form to suit him? If it had thus
catered to Mr. Bryan it must have
mortally offended its own party,
shocked the common sense OF the
country and perhaps caused the defeat
of Mr.. Taft And what would it profit
the convention to please Mr. Bryan and
be reasonable, and not grumble at a
Republican platform for being Repub-
lican instead of Populistic. Why, even
his own convention is likely to prove
very refractory when it comes to going
the whole hog with platform Socfalis-
tic enough to suit Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan also makes the singular
complaint that the platform contains
a series of retreats"
But retreat" means an abandon
ment of position previously occupied.
in no single plank is there any such
abandcnments. To say as Mr. Pryan
does in effect, that the platform omis-
sion of this or that personal view of an
Individual was retreat is nonsense.
In several of the planks the party
makes an advance. In no single one
of them has it abandoned position
previously occupied.
Now as to retreats" Mr.. Bryan is
on very thin ice when he makes that
criticism.
He is notoriously the great retreater.
He has retreated from free trade, he
has retreated from free silver, he has
tetreated from government ownership.
AS political crawfish in respect of
abandoned positions he has no equal
That is the common charge against
him. His flurried backward scramble
ftom his Madison Square garden pro-
Louncement when he found it did not
'~catch on was one of the really
osmic incidents of his rendition of the
role of Perpetual Candidate.

extremely shy of talking about re
