the building OF road was practically
assured the redskin lawyer began to
secure options upon the rich valley
land adjacent to Brownsville This
wild land was covered with an almost
impenetrable growth Of brush and
small trees. It was considered almost
unfit for grazing purposes, so thick

an exorbltant price for the land The
land which be had bought for one dol

reached Brownsville. When the line
was finished and the influx Of in

Why NORTHERN NEGROES

African NJ r. Church, makes a point
that must impress every intelligent
colored man when he says that II the

or promise to the negro that Demo-
Gratis would protect him in his consti-

some desertion from the Republican

MR. TAFT a CLEAR THINKER.

Mr. Taft has been noted for his
ability to state a proposition clearly,
for his clarity in expounding alb
struse matters. This faculty helped
him on wonderfully with the Filipi-
nos. He spoke to them simply. They
could understand him. To illustrate
the point, an old Filipino, during a
discussion relative to Mr.. Taft, list
ened intently to the enumeration OF
Mr.. Taft's merits by others in the
group, then said:
81 will show you how different he
is from other men who talk TO us.

In the dust of the road, one as a
starting point, from which he drew a

established understanding Of the or

and of the functions and limitations

1t is only TO a President amply en-
dOwed with those attributes that the
people can safely entrust the power
of appointing Justices of the great
tribunal which is at once the bulwark
and the final interpreter OF the Con
stitution.
William Howard Taft is pre-emin-
emily a man of the type described.
His personal character, his public
service, his legal training, his efpe-
rience at the bar and on the bench to-
gether with his absolute freedom
from bias on matters affecting the
common welfare all combine a dis
tinguish him as one consplcuously
qualified to maintain and guard the
sanctity of our judicial institutions
with all the power at his command.
He possesses the judicial spirit In an
exceptional degree. He appreciates
the vital Importance of keeping our
courts OF justice free from even a
hint of partisan control, and his CON
duct on the bench presents splendid
example of the upright Judge admin
istering justice without fear or favor
With Mr. Taft as President the in
tegrity and dignity of the United
States Supreme Court will be resO-
lutely protected. Justices will be
appointed solely because of their fit
ness and without regard for partisan
influence. Pledged 20 the mainten-

GUARD THE COURTSl

For one of the most important du-
ties which the next President will be
called upon TO perform William How
ard Taft is specially qualihed-qual-
ihed, at least, as thoroughly as any
man ever nominated for the Presi-
Dental Office. It is a duty which vi
tally concerns the stability Of the ju-
dlcial authority and the even balance
Of power among the three co-ordin-
ate branches of the Government.
During the next Presidential term
four vacancies will certainly be
created on the bench of the United
States Supreme Court because of the
retirement of that number of the
present Justices on account of their
age. II Is within the limits Of possi-
bility that the number of vacancies
may be further increased by death or
other causes. With five vacancies to
fill President RoOsevelt's successor
would be in position to appoint a ma
jority of the Justices of the Supreme
Court, and thus reoast the member
ship of our highest legal tribunal.
The selection of Justices for that
court is one of the gravest trusts re-
posed I'm the President, and to the
honor of our institutions 1t has al
most invariably been discharged with
a sacred regard for the great social
obligation which It implies. It re-
