BRYAN AT TREASURY HELM.
How Would Business Men Regard
Secretary Chosen by Him?

How Would Business Men Regard
Secretary Chosen by Him2
How would the financial community
like to face panic under a Bryan
secretary of the treasury? This ques-
ton goes to the heart of the degree Of
confidence which could be placed In
Bryan administration. Even if we had
a new Bryan, sobered by the RESPONSE
bility of his Office, would business men
feel the assurance Of prompt, energetic
and intelligent action to protect the
public faith and save the money mar
ket from disturbance which would be
looked for under secretary of the
treasury named by Mr. Taft? Business
men are likely to ponder this seriously
between now and November
1t is not necessary to assume that
Mr.. Bryan still favors opening the
mints to the free coinage of silver to
raise a grave doubt as to his attitude
on all questions affecting the mainte-
nance of the financial fabric of the
country. Up to the convention of 1904
he would not even agree to an express
sion of opinion that the silver question
had been sidetracked by the great out
put of gold, and his present associa-
tons and surroundings are such that
it is doubtful if he could make any sin
cere declaration which would go far to
establish confidence in his financial
sanity.-ROston Transcript

Mr.. GOMPERS REBUKED
BY TYPOGRAPHERS' CHIEF
Norman E. MePhail Declares Union
Labor's Vote Cannot Be Delivered"
by Any Man or Set Of Men.

"The vote Of organized labor as
body will not, should not and cannot
be delivered to any party or by any
man or set Of men," This is the dec
Iaration of Norman {. McPhail, ?resi-
dent of the Typographical union, in a
letter to Willis L. Moore, chief Of the
United States weather bureau. Thus
another voice is added to the rising
protest Of union labor against the at.
tempt Of Mr.. GomPers to "deliVer" the
vote of free American citizens.
President McPhaiI's letter is as fol-
lows:
"Dsar Mr.. Moors-Your letter of
Sept. q has just been reclived and
read by me, as | have today returned
from a tour of sorr~ ct our New Eng
land cities for our organization.
"ln reply to the question you ask
me, | will state that in my opinion the
vote Of organized labor in this coun-
try as a body will not and cannot be
delivered to any one party by any one
man or set of men. To allow such
thing would be suicidal to the. labor
movement Of the country.
"Members of labor unions, as cit-
xens, have the right and should care
fully consider the platforms and prom
isss of the different political parties
and should vote as they believe the
broadest and best interests of our
country lie.
"There can be no objection to this
from any source, and it is something
which every citizen should do. To
claim that any man or set of men, as
has been olazoned forth in the news
papers, will deliver the vote of organ
ized labor to any party is absurd as
It is an impossibiIity. Sincerely yours,
NORMAN e. M'PHAIL."

give him a square deal in his fight
for the presidency. We would
rather have Roosevelt keep out
of the campaign, because, in our
judgment, Taft is we'll able to
take care of himself. AS cam
paigner heis success, and needs
no president to help him out.
And the blame, if blame there be,
of presidential partaking in the
campaign, is largely Bryan's, for
he provoked it.
What shall be the final out
come? We can discover no good
reason for changing our mind
expressed at the opening of the
campaign, that is, that Taft will
win. Bryan is making a great
effort, but so is Taft, and Taft
being by far the better equipped
for the great Office, and the can
didate of the greater political
party, is almost sure to win out.
And yet, we are not unmindful
of Solomon's words, "The battle
is not (always) to the strong,
time and chance happeneth to
them ALL"

BRYAN HIMSELF AGAIN.
breaches Economic Adsurdities In
Same Old Way.

Mr.. Bryan. who started out very con-
servatively at the opening of the cam
paign, resolving evidently to get the
confidence of certain editors and busi-
ness men who could not stand his
afOretlme radicalism, has broken
through the traces and given up trying
to be good. His speech on the trusts
at indianapolis puts him back in his
old position of advocating the destruc-
tion of anything that does not meet
his views without regard to method or
consequences
AS usual, he is not specific as to
what means should be employed to
carry out his designs. He simply in
general way wants to destroy the SO
called trusts, both large and small re-
gardleSs of the consequences to others
engaged in similar business or of the
consuming public. He tells US one day
that the American people should be al
lowed to purchase where they can buy
the cheapest, and another day he tells
US that the money from the pockets Of
the people is flowing into the Golfers of
the trusts. If the latter be true it must
be because the people are buying
where they buy the cheapest, and If
the trust made goods are the cheapest
then they serve the consumer rather
than injure him.
Mr.. Bryan simply does not know
what trust is. Mr.. Bryan does not
know how to handle financial prob
lens, industrial problems or even pO-
litical problems. We have on our stat
ute books today laws providing for the
machinery to punish any illegtimate
business and to remedy any inequali-
ties or injustice. Mr.. Bryan has not put
forth any views showing how to i'm
prove present methods.

Business Picking Up on Assurance Of
Taft's Election.
Business is becoming more active,

others nearly so; savings banks find
that deposits are Increasing and many
new accounts are being opened. The
horizon Is rosy hued for the man who
has goods to sell and the man who has
labor to dispose Of. The same condi-
tions are reported east and west.
"The small country jobbers," writes
a newspaper correspondent from Ohio.
"are doing better, the railroad trains
are jammed with travellers whose tes-
timony is to the effect that things are
slowly but surely righting themselves,
and In the manufacturing districts
there is a return to 80 per cent of the
activity of year ago"
The 100 per cent is not far off if the
election Of Taft shall give to manufac-
turers, merchants and wage earnerS
the sense of security which attaches
to impartial and efficient administra-
tion of the laws and protection from
sudden changes which tend to unsettle
commerce and labor and cause confu-
sion, loss and disappointment to both.

FAIRNESS OF TAFT.
SCrupuIouS In His Desire to Rem
der Exact Justice.
REVIEWS OF COURTS MARTIAL

Refused to Approve or DisaPPreVs
Findings of Military Tribunals Until
He Had Carefully Read the Evil
dsnee-A Case In Point.
When he was secretary Of war Mr..
Taft never unreservedly trusted to the
judgment of courts martial upon Of
Tending officers to determine his action
in approving or disappearing the find
ings of these military tribunals. He
was scrupulous in insisting that all
the evidence should be laid before him
to be passed upon and weighed by him
personally. No pressure of work could
be too severe or lack of time too evi-
dent to prevent him from satisfying
himself that exact Justice had been
done the accused, according to the evil
dence and the facts. One evening long
after the rest of the departments had
closed Mr.. Taft, at the end Of an TN
usually hard day, took up bundle Of
papers relating to the case Of lieu
tenant who was sentenced to dis
missal The chief of staff was there,
and he suggested, with view to saw
ing Mr.. Taft work: II think that you
will not need to go deeper into the
case If you read the conclusion of the
Judge advocates memorandum and
my memorandum. The man Is a bad
egg. The army will be better off with
out him"
mo" said the secretary; Il always
prefer to go through these cases my
self"
The officer had failed to pay his
debts. Carefully and slowly Mr. Taft
read the evidence through to the end.
When he finished he looked up and ex-
claimed, "But he lied about itr' Rap
idly he dictated note to be sent. with
the papers, to the president and con-
tinued as he laid them aside: "He

BIG AND BROAD.
Msthodists lndorse the Candi-
dacy Of William n. Taft.

An unqualified approval of
William H. Taft as presiden-
tial candidate was given by the
Rev. James CoOte, D. D., pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal church
in Thompsonville, Conn.,, when
he called at the headquarters Of
the Republican national commit
tee. For years DR.. COote has
taken a prominent part in Meth
odist circles in New England and
in New York, having been a
presiding elder and occupied
leading pulpits.
mo man has spoken so ear
nestly in favor of the great work
that Christian missions are do
ing in the Philippines, in China
and jim the orient generally as
Mr.. Taft" said Mr.. Coote. I'm
an address at Yale university he
emphasized that idea particular
ly, and ON several other Occa-
sions he spoke enthusiastically
of the good being done by ag-
gressive Christian evangelicalism
In the different countries which
he visited. 1t seems to me that
no evangelical Christian should
hesitate to support Judge Taft.
He is just as big and broad In
his religious ideas as he Is In his
physical proportions. He can be
trusted to do what is fair and
right with all denominations.
II am convinced that what
} Judge Taft has said on religious
matters was not for political ef-
) feet. He has gone hither and
, thither doing the work before
} him, and at the same time his
keen observation and his sense
} Of fairness have led him repeat
edly to give expression to his
appreciation Of the work Of
Christian missions everywhere.
I'm Thompsonville is one of
the largest carpet manufacture
ing plants in the world" con-
: tinued DR.. Coote. During the
last Democratic administration
) that establishment was COM
PEELED to close, and the thou
) sands of employees were thrown
out of work. A very large pro-
5 portion of those had to leave the
town. My observation is that

country remember that expert
ence and that they do not care
for another administration that
is likely to result so disastrous

REV. FRANCIS 7URGETTE
SHORT ExToLs MR.. TAFT.

1t Is striking that no one has
yet declared that Bryan is wise
statesman. Those who are most
anxious for his success do not
urge especial fitness, but rather
that he may at last have found
an issue that the people will not
repudlate at the polls. TO return
to power Is the main thing of
the Democratic party. no mat
ter If it floats into office on
Bryan bubbles sf.4Sp. any other
conceivable J. tss - '.. d.
In pronounced contrast is the
estimate that Is universally ex-
pressed on Taft's equipment for
the presidency. Irrespective Of
party, all attest to his mastery
of affairs and wonderful admin
istrative ability. The clergy are
equally outspoken. Among those
who called upon Mr. Taft at Gin
cinnati during the week was the
Rev. Francis Burgette Short,
pastor of the First Methodist
Episcopal church at Salt Lake
City. Discussing politics, Mr..
Short said:
Judge Taft is eminently fitted
in character and practice to oc-
cupy the highest office in the
land. His efforts to raise high
standard of life at home, his in
terest In and solicitude for ma
tions across the sea, mark him
as a man of sane visions and de-
, sire. Such a man this nation
needs and requires at its head
, if we are to continue to hold the
undivided admiration of those at
, home and those abroad. Such
man we must have If we would
make history that Is gloriouSly
humane"

Republican Party Aims to Conserve In.
terests of All the People.
Various injunction bills were consid-
cred in committee during both sessions
of the Fifty-ninth and first session Of
the Slxtieth congresses. During the
first session of the Fifty-ninth con-
gress several bills were before the
judiciary committee, and hearings
were accorded and considered. 1t was
found however, that the labor inter-
ests of the country could not agree
upon any one bill and that different
labor leaders were opposed to one or
the other bills under consideration.
Again, during the first session of the
Slxtieth congress the judiciary COM
mittee of the house gave more time
and attention to the various bills pre-
sented, but it was found that no bill
could be introduced that would be sat
isfactory to all the labor interests and
no bill upon which all members of con-
gress could agree. This so called anti
injunction Legislation Is Dy no means a
partisan matter. and so far neither
Democrats nor Republicans have been
able to agree among themselves to a
bill that would seem to satisfy all con-
cerned. There is no doubt, however,
that in the near future some bill will
be enacted into law, and when 1t is 1t
will be found that Il will provide pro.
lection for not only labor and capital,
but for the public as well, First II
must be constitutional, and then II
must be of such q nature that it will
not lead to disorder and riot. but will

pie at large and not be drawn in the
interest of either capital or labor, but
for the good and protection of all,

Our HooSier Budget.

In continuance of the article of
last week, we beg pardon for
brevity and, no doubt, these lines
will find their way into many
scrap book. Ten or fifteen years
hence but few old veterans will
be left to tell Of the dark days of
the Civil war. But to continue.
After leaving Jonesboro we hiked

days, then started on long
march after J. B. Hoods confed.
army; crossed over into Alabama
on the chase to put Hoods army
into the hands of G. H. Thomas
so Sherman's army could march
to the sea or cut the south i'm two.
AS Gen. Grant said, the confed-
eracy was like an egg shell and
Sherman would crack it. Near
the center of Alabama we gave
up the chase and Thomas met
Hood at Franklin, Tenn. Histo-
ry tells of the sanguinary battle
there. Then we marched back
to Kingston, SO miles northwest
of Atlanta, and there we struck
the railroad and our route of bat
ties through the summer. From
Kingston we tore up the railroad
to Atlanta. The city got on fire
and hully gee! it made a blaze
and the old shells sent in during
the seige got hot and busy, which
made the colored folks HE to the
woods, and some of the white
trash were glad to move. When
our army withdrew to the right
to cut the sand town road lead
ing to Atlanta and a part of the
army fell back to the Chattahoo-
chic river, Hood thought Sher-
man was retreating and sent olt
word through the south that he
had the whole thing, and many
of the aristocracy hied to Atlanta
to see Hoods army drink the
Yanks' blood raw. When a few
car load of southern gentry and
blooded ladies had arrived they
found the railroad was torn ul
and the whole country southeast
of Atlanta was alive with YankS
with big guns. They then saw
the joke and in a few hours the
battle of Jonesboro was on. Th'
