TAFT WITH ROOSEVELT.
Continued from first page.

work which he and the representative party IN
Congress are doing.
Secretary Taft spoke of the recent panic and
of President RooseveIts special message TO
Congress as follows:
The message contains an answer 10 tne
charges made that the administration Is re
sponsible for the industrial depression Wnlch
has followed, and the Hharpness and emphasis
with which this unfounded attack Is met nave
beartened the great body of the people as by
a bugle call to renewed support or the policies
of the administration.
From beginning to end the message SHOWS MS
earnest desire to protect the honest business
man and the honest laborer and to secure 1or
them the possibility OF living under the equdi
administration of the law.
Vigorous action and measures to stamp out
existing abuses and effective reforms are nee
essary to vindicate society as at present con-
stituted Otherwise must yield TO those
who seek to introduce a new order OF thlhsS
a socialistic basis
The Republican party follows the admins
tration upon this social and moral reform-ap-
proves it's attitude in favor of the vested rlghts
of maintaining the power of courts, or render
ing more equal by legislation the basis OF deal
ing between employer and employe, OF Strength
ening the regulative power over railroads and
other interstate corporations and of prosecut-
ing those IaWbreakers who continue to defy
public opinion. Roosevelt leads his party as
Lincoln led his-as Mckinley led his-to meet
the new issues presented, to arm our politlcal
civilization and fit it with bold front to re-
sist the attacks of socialism and to transmit to
coming generations unharmed the great IN
stitution of civil liberty inherited from our
father.
Secretary Taft arrived here early this morn
ing from Washington, and almost Immediately

ON SCHOOL BOARDS SIZE.
General Wingate, a Member, EN-
phatcally Opposes Reduction.

General George W. Wingate, member of the
Board of Education is opposed to the proposed re-
duction of that body's numbers. He believes that
a smaller board could not handle the school prob
lem O SO large Il city and reason for
the proposed change.
Much of the talk on the subject" he said yes
terday, 'is from those who have little knowledge
of the problem which the Poard of Education has
contend with and of how its work is being
ccmplished. A part of it comes from people who
from the experience OF entirely different
localities.
The arguments based upon the experience of st.
Louis. Cleveland and similar cities have little ap-
plication to New York. There six hundred and
schools to-day, which is greater than the total
population of St Louis and nearly twice that Of
Cleveland. We have fifteen thousand teachers and
nearly six hundred schools. These different
in situation attendance and methods as 1t is pos
sble for schools to be. A system which works well
in small cities where the environment and scholars
are known to each member of the Board of Educa
ton has application TO New York
"A small board would make it impossible for the
Board OF Education to keep in touch with the diff
far removed from the people and the schools Even
ar present. with forty-six school districts, each
represented by member OF the board at the meet
ings of that body. complaint is made with a great
deal of justice that 1t is still too remote.
I'm a letter recently published Dr. David Snod-
den, of Teachers College Columbia University. de-
cares that the ultimate responsibility for business
matters should fall the superintendents and
that the board being reduced to the number OF
fifteen or thereabouts. should withdraw from every
thing but general oversight the school sya-
tenn.
Now. the scholastic life of the superintendents
has deprived them of business experience. and they
are. with exception. poor business men. The
result would be to create ont of this material a
large number OF highly paid officials who would
control the expenditure of enormous sums of
money But above ALL these offices would be
valuable 'pums. 1t would be impossible to pre-
vent politics from influencing the selection OF tho
officials"

dation for the removal of Otto Kelsey, Superin-
tendent of Insurance, was not sent to the Senate
tonight. 1t will go in tomorrow morning. The
Governor has been busy that the message Is
not in final shape yet.
Mr.. Kelsey's friends had prepared themselves
to receive it tonight, and tried to seem trife
disappointed. Their predictions of strength
enough to save Mr.. Kelsey by bigger vote
than that of last year still fill the air.
Just at present large part of the interest In
this situation hinges on the action of Senator
Raines. Last year the veteran majority leader
was head and front of the Kelsey defence, an
tagonizing the Governor in his personal desire
to save a friend and fellow Republican.
Senator Raines though. is known to be think
Ing great deal about the effect Of this Kelsey
fight now on the Republican party. He refuses
to discuss his future action. The Kelsey men
say he again viii take up the cudgels for Mr.
Kelsey. Others would not be surprised to see
him decline to go to the front again, possibly
voting for Mr. Kelsey with an explanation that
he did not to seem inconsistent.

ago came to light last night when Robert p Muir
ply, manager Of the Hotel Albany, fist street and

with them for 60 cents the dollar.

ment he would have to suspend, and that as a re-
suit they would probably lose of their money

BRYAN TO CANADIANS.
americas Friendship, the Yellosc
Peril and British Politics.

Montreal. Feb 10.-William Jennings Bryan ad-
dressed the Canadian Club at its weekly luncheon
this afternoon The hall of the old Corn Exchange
In St. John street was crowded, about five hundred
guests being present
Mr.. Bryan was welcomed by a round of tumultu-
Gus cheering. He said that he was glad he be-
longed to political system under which he could
wish Canadians well without being accused OF being
unfriendly to his own country. He belonged to g.
political school which believed that every person
had right to do what he wanted to. do as long
as he did not interfere with the liberty or otner
persons Each state and nation had an undisputed
and inalienable right to do what it wanted to do
as long as 1t did interfere with another state
or nation He and those who were Of his school.
therefore, could watch Canadians growing and
nrosperfug and instead of envyng them, rejoice
when they prospered-
He considered himself optimist. and though
he had his eyes and ears open to the sorrows of
the world that would not discourage him from
working toward the triumph of righteousness.
Eyerywhere he travelled he signs of regen-
Grafton and progress. Speaking of the
called yellow peril. he thought it would be i'm
peaching the Almighty to fear the elevation of any
one race The advancement of China could not
take place without raising at the same time the
Chinaman's education.
Mr. BRYAN also referred to the movement in
Britain to take away the veto from the House OF
Iords He did not know what they going to
do there this year. but the time drawing
when no hereditary body would be allowed to stand
against elective BODY
He thought there was one thing Americans could
learn from Britain and that was the public spirit
which animated men. Unlike the Americans. who
continued chasing after the dollar till they dropped
dead. men in the United Kingdom usually put
limit to their accumulations when they found they
had enough and devoted themselves to the public
service.
