RoosEvE1T's ADVICE Tc LABOR.
Presidents Recommendation Of Taft
Bound to Count Heavily with
the Voter.

(From the Labor World, Pittsburgh
President Roosevelt is willing to
stake his own unparalleled reputation
as friend of labor on his declaration
that Judge Taft will be labor's real
friend should he be elected to the Presi-
dency. President Roosevelt is ab:;o
lutely sanguine on this point and the
gravity of his position and the cons'c
quences that will reach far into tho
future, and will particularly relate to
his own personal record, must impress
on the mind of every intelligent man
that his words spring from his heart.
Is there Il wage worker or Il trade
union leader in the country who has
reason to doubt the sincerity of Roosa-
welt? Labor from end to end of The
United States has adored him and
adores him still as a friend for what
he has done. He states most mequiv-
ocally that i'll everything he has done

Political Snapshots.

Mr.. Bryan is making strenuous eff
fort to confine the discussion of issues
In this campaign to the declarations of
the Denver platform. His attitude in
this matter is sadly inconsistent with
the claim which he has made for twelve
years that he is the fearless champion
of the people. When he pleads immun-
ity from attack on any issue which is
not In the Denver platform he comedies
that he is statesman afraid of his
own record. But Mr.. Bryan cannot es-
cape from his past.-Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. Bryan is not on trial for what
he has done. but for what he proposed
to do, what he did his utmost to ac-
cOmplish and what he would have done
If the people had given his a chance.
And his new propositions must be con-
sldered by the light of his record

DISCARDED ISSUES.
Bryan's Alarm About "Militarism"
Has Faded
(From the Kansas City rimes.)

(From the Kansas City .Iimes.)
In 1900 Mr.. Bryan made an ominous
noise about "militarism" He conceived
the idea-or at least advanced the
theory--that because the country had
acquired the Philippines and Porto Rico
and because provision had been made
for an increase i'm the regular army. the
Republican party was about to put into
effect a policy of world conquest; that
this was to be made a military nation;
that the ideals of the young men were
to be turned from the arts of peace
enlargement of the army was to be n
standing menace to the cause of Amer
lean labor.
And all this because the standing
army, which consisted of $4,000 men
when the Spanish war be-
came inevitable, was to be increased to
Il possible maximum of 100000. The
reason for this latitude of increase was,
OF course the necessities so impressive
ly revealed through the experiences of
the war with Spain, and Mr.. Bryan had
reason to know just what those neces-
stiles We're
Since Mi Bryan's fearful and Won
derful alarm about "miltarism" the
army has been increased from $4,000 to
10000 men. Not one of the evils pre-
dicted by Mr.. Bryan has attended this
enlargement. Would Mr.. Bryan reduce
the army? If so. why does he not de-
mand reduction? Why did he not put
reduction plank i'll his platform? Or,
does his silence this year ON the sub
| ject of ''militarism" mean that Mr..
Bryan now admits the absurdity of his
position in 1900:

TAFT STRIKES BANK INSURANCE.
Shows the Glaring Fallacies of the
Scheme by Plain Reasoning.

(From Taft's Minneapolis Speech
1.-Two objections are made to the con-
clusiOn that an enforced guaranty sys-
TEN would lead to rccklcSsneSS and
disaster in banking One is that the
government examinations would pre-
Vent. and the other is that it is an
insult to the banking community to 81,
sumo that the national bankers of the
country, in view of their present high
character, would yield 70 the tenpta-
ton to recklessness presented by The
system.
Il answer to the first objection that
the government examinations do not
now prevent banks from failing, that
it is difficult for Il bank examiner to
discover the unwise recllessness and
speculative loans, and that often such
loans are made between government
examinations. and then the evil is done
and cannot be remedicd by strict surer-
vision.
Second. while | fully concede the
general high character of the bankers
that the opportunity to obtain deposits
and invest them on very little capital
| afforded by the guaranty security will
attract into the banking business men
of no experience and of speculative
tendencies, and will distinctly lower the
tone of the banking business.
Zone of the great merits claimed for
the enforced guaranty of deposits is
that it will prevent panics. 1t is sulli-
Gent to say that the plan proposed
cannot prevent panics. a panic is not
stayed by the promise that money will
ultimately be forthcoming 1t can only
b. stayed by the production of the
money itself. When a financial strin
geHcy is on, it is the cash the mar
needs, and to say that he will get ii

snea..tnv Of Kjn.biu.

Nobody was ever pictured SO numer-
ously in the public press as Mr.. Roose
Welt, unless it be Mr. Bryan; yet here
is what it all comes to, as related by
New York World reporter accompany
ing the Bryan campaign outfit at Cum
berland, Nd:
Mr.. Bryan was standing on the porch
of the Queen City hotel this morning
when sweet-faced old lady stepped
up to him and, holding out her hand.
said: "Why, how do you do, Mr.. Roose-
welt? / am so glad to see YOU
There's some mistake" said Mir
Bryan, smiling and shaking her hand.
my name is Bryan
ooh" said the old lady, taken aback /;
"well, you do look like Mr.. Roosevelt"
Bryan has become distinctly and
desperately personal in his latest
speeches. His attacks upon Mr.. Roose-
Welt and Mr.. Taft give warmth and
heat to the campaign, but they do not
contribute to logic and reason.-Balti-

Mr.. Samuel Gompers has already de-
livered the vote to the Democratic
party and that makes it rather hope
less for one who is struggling for the
Republican party to deal at all With the
labor question. He seems to have re-
moved it from doubt by carrying the
vote in his pocket. He leaves no place
outside for me. Now venture to think
that the laboring men of the country
think for themselves and have an in
telligence that enables them to take
their own judgment as to the party and
the candidate whom they elect.
1t is rather Il cheap method of at
lacking Il candidate to say that he is
opposed to labor, that he is in favor of
depressing and tyrannizing labor and
that he has nothing in his heart that
sympathiZes with labor. The only way
you can meet that is to say that it is
not so, and that is what ! do say.

AN uNsouND PROPOSAL.
Bryan's Dangerous Bank Guaranty
and Its Weak Spots.
(From Golfers Weekly.D

(From Golfers Weekly.)
Mr.. Bryan has made bank deposit
guarantee his most distinct issue OF
this campaign. He has pressed it hard,
and our mail is flooded with Inquiries
about its soundness. No foreign gov
eminent has ever adopted it. The
countries OF the world have been busy
with banking and insurance long
time. and when an earnest but not very
thoroughly trained politician comes for
ward with revolutionary proposition
the burden of proof lies heavily on him
Regarding Mr.. Bryan's past record in
this field, Gov. Hughes has said
IF all that Mr.. Bryan has favored
during the past twelve years had been
enacted into law, we should have been
overwhelmed with disaster and would
regard it as our chief business in the
future to find way of escape from
the meshes of ill-consideref legislation
in which we should have been en-
tangled 1t is fortunate for him as
we'll as for us that he was defeated,
and whatever may be his present polit-
ical potentiality can be ascribed to the
fact that hitherto he has not been per
mittcd to carry out his program
That Judgment is severe, and will
hurt the feelings of many of Mr.
Bryan's friends, but who can doubt its
accuracy?
Mr.. Bryan's scheme, which he calls
guarantee. is an Insurance proposition,
and it is entirely mutual in its nature
The government does not stand back Of
it, There are no stockholders who
pledge their resources. There is moth
ing, except IL certain definite and linn
tied fund. This fund is To be used to
insure risks which are not selected. 1t
is to insure all alike, goed or bad, and
all at the very same rate. The real
working OF the scheme amounts to this:
the stockholders of an Indiana bank
guarantee that the assets (Which they
are not allowed to see) of, say. an
Idaho bank are and shall continue to
be good; and that the directors of the
Idaho bank cover whom they have no
controll shall always be men OF recti-
tude and sound judgment. Mr. Bryan
thinks that this little idea of his will
prevent panicS In 1893 the existence
of a gold fund to guarantee the pay
ment of government currency in gold
many times larger proportionately than
the deposit guarantee fund would be
was of no avail in preventing gold
panic. In 1907 a currency and specie
reserve fund i'm the national banks,
equal to about Is per cent Of their de-
posts, did not prevent one of the
most frantic currency panics in the his
tory of the national banking system
What reason is there to think that, in
times of stress and uncertainty. fund
of Il few millions to guarantee deposits
of $13,GO0.O0OOOO would have any more
reassuring effect? The scheme is worth
little or nothing as protection. L.
would greatly increase the number of
| failures by the encouragement of reck-
less banking. 1t would not help to meet
pal.cs. 1t would help greatly to bring
them about
