WASHINGTON
ROLL HELD Up

The recommendation of the
street committee that the assess
ment roll for the improvement of
Washington street, o. r. & N.
tracks to Buckeye avenue, be not
confirmed, was concurred in by the
council last night, though not
without some discussion. Council
man Mohr, one of the committee,
said that although he had con-
Cured in the action of the COM
mittee, he believed mistake had
been made. He said that if the
regrade is not made now lot of
building will go ahead so that
when the regrade is finally effected
at a future time it will be cOnsid-
erably more expensive.
Mohr charged some of the prop
erty owners with 'flimflamming"
the council He said many of them
petitioned for the improvement,
then went upon the remonstrance
petition. He favored laying the
matter over for two weeks, sug-
costing that in the meantime the
difficulties might be worked out to
everyones satisfaction. People
who actually reside on the street
desired the improvement, but the
big property owners who only
travel there about once a month
were against it,
The demonstrators claim that
the grade has been established
and paid for once. already and the
expense of a regrade should be
horne by the city.

have been made by personal calls,
by letter and by telephone by
young men who would win the

'versity. who says in his letter, II

made dive at the owner. She
darted into the house and slammed
the door. He butted at the door,

madly.
From upper windows the young

man. The bluecoat had to send for
two detectives to help him take the
goat away.

fellow attendant at the Medical

quilted yesterday afternoon by a

There was no direct evidence that

that he left the institution and

Hughes Not Hurt bv Bryan.

Mr.. Bryan does not appear to advan-
tage in assailing Governor Hughes for
his veto Of the two-cent fare bill. He
~insinuates that this is evidence Of the
governors strong leaning to the side Of
the corporations as against the people,
while as. matter of fact it is nothing
of the kind. The two-cent fare bill
was vetoed simply because the state
was adopting the policy of railroad rate
regulation through commissions with
mandatory powers. 1t would have been
the height Of inconsistency to create
commissions to regulate fares and then
have the II gislature itself and at the
same time assume the function
Springfield Republican.

Vague and Dangerous TheOrist.

While sitting in Denver, watching the
convention, we jotted down the opinion
that Mr.. Bryan's best hope for election
lay in retiring to the bottom of the
Pacific and allowing not a single bubble
to escape. Since that time he has
talked a great deal about the best way
of regulating trusts; he has made a
special slogan of the Oklahoma patent
medicine banking plan; he. the vision
airy. has claimed to be heir to the prac-
teal Roosevelt he has been desper-
ately involved in an encounter with
that almost invincible politician and
be has cast false aspersions on the in
tegrity of the governor of New York.
Too many bubbles have escaped. What
ever may be thought Of the Presidents
taste, in the controversy between him
and Mr.. Bryan the country will, we
imagine, feel the difference between
vague and dangerous theory upon the
one hand and shrewd, practical reform
upon the other: between hesitating and
vacillating arguments and the heavy
battalions of establishment fact.-Col-
lier's Weekly.

ORDERS II TAFT IS ELECTED.
Travelling Man Says He Has Taken
Many Such in the Last Few
Weeks

"TaIk to the effect that the travelling
men. or any considerable proportion of
them. will vote this year for Bryan is
tomnlyrot," declared 7. Il. Travis OF
Kansas City in the lobby of the Loyal
Hotel, at Omaha. IF Bryan gets 20
per cent of the commercial travellers
vote he will do n good deal better than
| expect. Practically all The men in our
line are Republicans in the first place
and believe in Republican principles.
In the second place. all of them know
full well that they will get precious few
orders If Bryan should win. This is
not SO much because Mr.. Bryan could
do any great harm himself, for he could
carry none Of his wild schemes into
effect, but because business men are so
afraid of him.
'lf he. by any miracle, should get in
things would shut down absolutely for
a year. Everyone would be afraid Of
his neighbor; would think, and think
rightly. that Brown and Smith and
Jones would be afraid. 1t is exactly
the same principle that causes runs on
a bank. Many intelligent depositors are
not afraid of the bank which has ample
resources, out they are afraid that their
fellow depositors will he afraid and so
they hurry down to get in line.
Il nave had many orders lately sub
ject to Taft's election. This was a pure
business contract and not designed to
influence me. People simply won't be
able to swing the goods if Bryan is the
victor. This is not politics. 1t is bust

are giving their life to the work and
the wonderful progress they have made
in the last four years, during which tho
membership in the Methodist church
has increased from 1000 t. $1,000,

WHY GERMANS FAVOR TAFT.
Believe Bryan Theories are Menace
to Business.

The German Is, as a rule, a good
business man. He believes in the gold
standard-which Bryan does not; he
believes in protection for American III
dustry-which Bryan does not be be-
lieves in expanding the money Of the
government for the benefit Of all the
people, in the rural free delivery, the
irrigation of arid lands, the preserva-
tion and utilization Of our forests. the
improvement Of agriculture and other
great public services which Bryan. ac-
cording to the political platform which
he has subscribed. regards as %"unneces-
sary and wasteful."
The prospect that Bryan would be
nominated drew bitter protests from
leading Germans and German newspa-
pers. including the newspaper o
trolled by Ridder, the present Demo-
cratic campaign treasurer, who de-
clared that he would never support the
advocate of free silver and Reputation
and Of other ~vagaries offensive to the
sound Judgment and honest character
OF German-Americans. The fact that
Mr.. Ridder has seer ft to change his
attitude toward the candidate whose
nomination he regarded rs equivalent
to defeat does not mean that there has
been any general desertion on the part
OF German-Americans from the prin-
ciples Of sound money and Of protetc-
zion for American industry. Citizens
of German origin, Democrats al well as
Republicans, throughout the United
States, are for Taft and the policies
which Taft represents.
The Germans common sense tells
him that Bryan Is a menace to bust
ness; that his political schemes are
visionary and impracticable, and that
he depends for his only substantial sup
port upon q form of class hatred tend
ing to undermine and break down
American institutions.

why the Workers Support Taft.

1t is noticed that a large majority
Of the labor union leaders who are do
ing any talking IN the campaign are
praising Mr.. Taft and are promising
to vote for him. In all his addresses
to workers-and he has made many OF
them-Mr. Taft has made an excellent
impression. He is now travelling
through a region covering Ohio, West
Virginia and New Jersey. in which the
labor unions are particularly strong.
but everywhere he is meeting with a
very cordial greeting. He is getting so
many tributes from labor union chiefs
that the Democrats are resorting to
their old cry Of 'bribery."-St. Louis

TAFT--THE MAN.
~fulness, Purity, Kindliness and
Devotion to DUTY.


fulness, Purity, Kindness and
Devotion to Duty.
There has been much talk about Mr..
Taft's religion. and many have cried
out against him on the ground that he
is not "orthodoX." He is a Unitarian,
rs his father and mother were. He has
never sought to conceal the fact. He is
willing TO lose the presidency if a man
is to be shut out Of it for cherishing
the religious views of John Adams,
John Quincy Adams, Jefferson, Madi-
son., President Eliot. and Everett Hale.
Professor James of Harvard says that
II needs only TO worry about those be-
liefs which express themselves in ac-
tons, and we who know Mr.. Taft are
willing that he be judged by these. If
sincerity, f~aithfulneSS, purity of person
III life. kindness. and an uncompromiS-
ing devotion to duty are not indications
OF Il true Christian faith and character,
we do not know what is.-The Home

To Learn the Treth.

If any one doubts that detection from
Bryan is general. let him talk with
his Democratic friends. Whether they
are employers or employed. a large per
ccntage of them will be found of the
opinion that the country does not want
a President who declares that what
Roosevelt has done to establish inter
ests is as nothing compared with what
he will do. Those who are employers
or professional men want business.

Prosperity for All.

Under the continuation OF this Re
publican policy, Mr.. Taft as president,
this country will enjoy the highest de
gree of prosperity. The interest of
every leading laboring community re-
quires diversity of occupations. pur-
suits and objects of industry. The
more that diversity is multiplied and
extended, the better. To diversity en-
ployment is to increase employment and
enhance wages. Where there is work
for the hands of men there will be
work for the teeth. Where there is
employment there will be bread. 1t
is a great blessing to the poor to have
cheap food. but greater than that. prior
to that and of still higher value. is the
blessing of being able to buy food by
honest and respectable employment.
