ROOSEVELT PR0CLAIMS
TAFT AS HIS ONLY
CHOICE.

The true friend of reform. the
true foe of abuses. is the man
who steadily perseveres in right
Ing wrongs, In warning against
abuses. but whose character and
training are such that he never
promises what he cannot per-
form. that he always a little
more than makes good what he
does promise. and that, while
steadily advancing, he never per-
mits himself to be led Into foolish
e1cesses which would damage the
very cause he champions. In Mr..
Taft we have man who com
bines all OF these qualities to a
degree which no other man in
our public life since the Civil
War has surpassed.
IL no fght for decency
and fair dealing which I have
waged in which have not had
his heartlest and most effective
sympathy ana support, and the
policies for which l stand are his
policies rs mnch as mine.
If there is one body of men
more than another whose support
feel I have a right to challenge
on behalf OF Secretary Taft 1t is
the body Of wageworkers Of the
country. A stancher friend,
fairer and truer representative.
they cannot flnd within the bor-
ders OF the United States. He
will do everything in his power
for them except to do that which
il wrong; he will do wrong for
NO man, and therefore can be
trusted BY all men.

Mr.. Taft Has Fought Hard Battles
and Won Victories for Peace.

Mr.. Taft Has Fought Hard Battles
and Won Victories for Peace.
The character of Mr.. Taft Is the
resultant Of strongly contrasting forces.
He il a man who laughs and fights.
From his boyhood. good nature and
good humor have been traits which al-
ways received notice first. But nli the
time he has been capable Of splendid
wrath. which now and then has blazed
out. under righteous provocation. to
the utter CONSERVATION and undolng Of
Its object. Because he is always ready
to laugh, and has n great roar of en-
joyment to signify his appreciation Of
the humorous, men who have not OBJ
served him closely have often failed to
understand that he Is just as ready to
light, with energy and determination.
for any cause that has won his sup
port hut it is almost always some
other mans cause which enlIsts him.
His battles have been In other interests
than his own. First OF all he Is an al
TRUST, and then fighter.
La Junta tribune., 1908-10-17
Secretary of Peace.

This combative altruism is Mr.. Tafts
most distinguished characteristic. As
Secretary of War he has earned the
worldwide sobrlquet of Secretary OF
Peace" He has fought some hard bat
ties. but they We're with bloodless
weapons. and the results were victor
les for peace. The greater the degree
Of altruism the keener was his zeal,
the harder aud more persistent his bat
tie. The greatest struggle OF his career
In which he disregardcd utterly his set
tied ambition. and cheerfully faced
continuing serious menace to life itself.
was on behalf of the weakest and most
helpless object iE whose cause he was
ever enllstcd--the Filipino people. That
was the purest and loftiest nltruism.
But although this is the dominant
trait OF Mr.. Taft, he is well known
for other qualities His judicial tenn
permanent. founded upon deep-seated,
comprehensive and ever alert sense tf
right and wrong; his courage. proved
by repeated and strenuous tests; his
calm, imperturbable judgment, and his
all embracing sympathy are character
istics that have been often and widely
noted They are his by right of inhe:.-
itance from generations OF broad-mind-
ed, upright men and women. The de-
velopment OF his country has extend I'd
the range of his opportunity and given
greater scope to his activities than was
enjoyed by Alphonso Taft. his father,
or Peter Rawson Taft, his grandfather,
but In character and intellect he is
their true descendant.
Fitness for Presidency.
The American people know Mr.. Taft
us n man of pervasive good humor, al-
ways ready with hearty laugh, and
quick to see fun In any situation. His
other side has not often appeared, but
he Is capable Of tremendous wrath.
Nothing arouses 1t more quickly than
nfaitbfulness to trust or an exhibit
tIon Of deceit. Injustice In any form
stirs him to the bottom instantly. lie
has broad, keen, quick; all-embracinx'
sympathy always ready to respond to
any call. His sense of Justice is won
derfully quick-springing and alert. And
he has genuine fondness for work,
which enables him to derive real pleas
ure from his task. These qualiflca-
tions are the endowment OF nn unusual
ly gifted man. The people know, be-
cause they have seen, his ability TO
turn of an enormous amount OF work.
They have seen him prove an excep-
tional executive ability. They have
seen him manifest an equipment for the
Presidency such as no other man has
shown before his election to that office.
In experience, training and ability. Mr..
Taft has amply proved his fitness for
the chief ma gistracy Of the nation.

Taft Rinse. Wages.

Ihtt NHAscs "u&es.
On May ]. 1907, as Secretary of War,
Mr.. Taft issued longevity order max
ing liberal and appreciate increase in
the wages of various classes of work
men, as follows:
"All employees not native to the trop-
les who occupy the positions herein
designated shall be granted the follow
ing Increases in pay for length OF con-
tinuous service on the Isthmus: Five
per cent of the basic or class rate for
the second year, with accumulatiye ad-
ditiOn OF three per cent OF the basic
rate for each subsequent year; pro-
vided. however, that such cumulative
Increase shall not exceed total Of 25c
OF the basic rate"
In other words, Mr.. Taft made 1t
possible for every American laborer on
the Isthmus, by remaining there and
working. to Increase his wages Is per
cent and at the same time have per-
manent position. These men also get
four weeks vacation with pay. every
year and Mr.. Taft favors making the
vacation six weeks with pay.
Change Would Be Di.astross.
In the performance Of this work the
United States is under the scrutiny Of
the entire world, especially Of our
neighb0rs in Central and South Amer
lea, before whom we must make good
our profession OF high social and In
dustrial ideals. II would be a national
calamity to jeopardize the present lib
eral progressive policy that is 30 sue
cessfully constructing the Panama Ca
nal. Mr.. Taft Is the one man to con-
tinue this great work to the end.

PRACTICAL
DEMONSTRATION.
Actual Operation Of Postal Savings
Banks In Philippines.
Two Year, Experiment Indicates
the Plan Il Successful.

The only postal savings bank sys-
TEN In operation under the American
flag is that in the Philippines, where.
after two years Of experiment, the
institution has been declared a great
success. In the report Of the Philip
pine commission, just published. the
postal savings bank is discussed brief.
ly. In part as follows:
''rhe postal savings bank was first
opened In Manila on Oct. !, 1906.
The law provides for three classes,
with limitations a. to the amounts
that can be received at any one time
In each class. Following the opening
Of the Manila Office. other postal saw
ings bank Offices were opened in vari
Gus cities, Of different classes, until
at the close OF the year 235 had been
opened, Of which Q were first, SO were
second and 14O were third class.
FiIipiaos Aaoptins system.
AT first the TiIipinos did not to
any great extent avail themselves of
the opportunity Of depositing 4 portion
Of their receipts in the postal savings
bank. anda great bulk Of the depositors
were Americans and Of other nation
allties. As the advantages of this sys-
tenn have been disseminated through
means OF schools, government bureaus.
private agencies and others, the pro-
portion of Filipinos Is continually in
creasing. and gives very good promise
that the FilIpinos will learn to trust
their money to the care of the govern
ment, and welcome the opportunity.
THE accounts opened up to the
close of the fiscal year numbered
2.676, OF which 347 were closed, leav-
ing 1929 still open. The deposits
reached the total sum Of S6,381.O3 pc
sos-an average Of 1OS.21 pesos. With
drawals reached the total amount OF
$50, 1921 pesos, leaving net deposit
of 500, ,463.31 pesos at the end of the
fiscal year-or the first nine months
Of the operation Of the postal savings
bank-but by no means the first nine
months of operation Of the average
number Of Offices, the smaller ones
having been opened from time to time
during the year, 30 that many had
not been opened more than a month or
two at the time these figures were
taken.
EneeuFasing SMALL Aoceunts.
THE device Of issuing postal say
ings bank stamps has met with some
response. The stamps are simply =
method by which small amounts can
be deposited without the expense Of
issuing 4 book, figuring interest, and
opening an account.
''On the whole, the reception accord

gratifying. and gives good promise.

BRYAN AND HASKELL.
Haskell Case Entirely Different from
That Of Senator Foraker.


(From the Kansas City Starr
The most adverse development Of the
Democratic campaign is the charge Of
Standard Oil connections against Gov
ernOr Haskell. treasurer Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, because Mfr.
Bryan Is responsible for Mr.. Haskel's
prominence in the Presidential contest.
Even II the charges are false, the
weight Of suspicion resting on Mfr.
Haskell is such that his connection
with the campaign should at once be
severed and remain severed until he
can prove his Innocence.
The Haskell case Is entirely different
from the Foraker case. Foraker oppos-
ed Taft to the time Of his nomination |;
Taft refused to make terms with him
to secure the nomination, and has re-
fused to vouch for him since. Foraker
Is down, but Taft does not need to tax-
any cognizance Of his fall. He Is not
responsible for Foraker.
Haskell, politically speaking. In
Bryan product.
And the only way to explain Mr.
Bryan's enlargement with Haskell Is
that he Is about as bad Judge Of
men a. he II Of issues.
Bryan il an experimsntalist. He is
attracted BY superficial qualities. He
likes new measures and new cham
pions. The hardest strain that has
been put on the popular belief in bis
individual sincerity has been imposed
BY the unsound policies he has espouscd
and the unsound counsel he has sought.
