BRYAN AND TAFT

If w. D. Bryan be elected and
there seems TO be an atmospheric
pressure marking public opinion as
having reached that point, the
Roosevelt idea will be carried out
with the skin OF one who Is the
author OF the whole plan himself.
But We hear TAFT carrying out the
Rooseveltian idea, as taken from
Mr. Bryan. We observe him with
the great trusts endorsing him while
they are cursing Roosevelt and
condemning Bryan, the only man
that can canry out the policies that
the present incumbent inaugurated
These signs Indicate that the great
trusts and combinations will be for
Taft as they are even now. But If
he were sincerely intending TO carry
out Roosevelt's policies there would
be no such company with Mr. TAFT
We see the trusts helping Taft be-
cause. OF course II is his intention
to continue TO wield the big stick
as his present master has done upon
the combinations. How Inconsistent
10 say that Taft will canry out
hCosevelts policies, and that the
great combines are helping TAFT 20
be elected Tor that purpose.
These friends OF TAFT would bury
Roosevelt and as the New York Sun
| says would raise a monument 10
that monumental genius. It would
no doubt be surmounted by a Ira
JAMS column In order that there
may be space for the reliefs which
will relate the main triumphs OF
me hero's career. Bears, mouptain
lions, storks the dying Iberian,
plutocrats frying In oil, Ananiases
smitten by the thunderbolt, a frize
OF empty freight cars, the opothesis

would be represented as Hercules
strangling the railroad hydra and
cleaning out the corporation stables

as Father Nilus inundauing the
land periodically and crowning with
fertiiity the foes OF race suicide, or
as Chiron teaohing the young Aoh-
lilies OF the schools 10 shoot and
better still as the apt student pour
dng over Bryan's Ideas OF govern
ment and executing them Tor the
good OF the land. II is well enough
to get the Idea abroad that TAFT is
TO be another Roosevelt. though It is
already shown by the company he
courts that 1t is not his intention.

that the loss will equal S25.nOO. Mr..
Wagner estimates that there is about
$4,000 insurance carried by the COM
