Pension Planks in Platforms.
For the past fifty years the Demo-
cratic politicians have juggled with
the soldier vote and pension question
in their platforms. While giving
every evidence of being really hostile
at heart, they have thrown out bits
of political bait from time to time in
the hope of cajoling the veterans
into voting the Democratic ticket.
During all these years the Republi-
can platform has rung as clear as a
bell on the pension question, as per
this plank in the 1908 platform
Another Republican policy which
must ever be maintained is that of
generous provision for those who
have fought the country's battles and
for the widows and orphans of those
who have fallen. We commend the
increase in the widows pensions
made by the present Congress and de-
clare for a liberal administration of
all pension laws, to the end that the
peoples gratitude may grow deeper
as the memories of the heroic sacri-
fee grow more sacred with the pass
ing years."

at Odds of Nine to One-Eag-

Will BE Elected President by a
Large Majority.
New York, October. er.--Lloyd's Ex-
change, London, which will give in
surance against anything from the
disaster OF rainy day to the extra
expense of twins, has accepted from
American business men risks against
the election of William Jennings
Bryan amounting to 100000 in re-
turn for premiums amounting to
about $55, 900. While the writing of
the insurance is technically busi-
ness transaction 1t amounts virtually
in this case to a wager by the famous
London exchange against Bryan at
odds of nine to one.
In taking such a risk, or making
such a bet, Lloyd's has not acted in a
wildly hazardous manner. 1t has
based its transactions upon a most
careful investigation of the sentiment
among American voters, and has re-
ceived reports from confidential
agents and astute politicians concern

WHO PAYS THE TARIFF?

The Democratic free trade claim,
that import duties bear most heavily
on the consumers of necessaries, is
most thoroughly shattered by Ar
thur ]. Dodge, the Washington cor
respondent of the American Econo-
mist, in the current issue of that pa
per. Mr.. Dodge shows in the first
place that against $527,000,000 of
dutiable imports, we import goods
free of duty to the value of $454,-
100000. He shows that of the total
duties collected amounting to $751;
100000, $S0.000,000 are collected
upon so-called "luxuries." He shows
further that the average rate of duty
on all dutiable imports is forty-seven
per cent, while the average rate of
duty on "luXuries" is over sixty per
cent. But Mr.. Dodge goes further
and shows that probably all our i'm
ports or at least ninety per cent. are
goods consumed by the rich and we'll
to-do. Those people who prefer i'm
ported wearing apparel, imported
house furnishings and a thousand
and one other articles of importation
that could be made in this country,
are not the working classes who con-
sumo the necessaries of life and who
come under the free trade claim that
such duties are paid by the masses

POLITICAL LEAGUES.

Prominent business men of all
sections of New York State have or
ganized and had incorporated at AL
bany the Taft League of the State
of New York. The object of the
league, as stated in its article Of in
corporation, is to promote the can
didacy of William H. Taft for Presi-
dent" This is the latest New York
league.
This is the year for independent
political leagues in New York. They
are as thick as hops all over the
State. There is the Personal Liberty
League and the Acorn League, the
Hotel Mems Political League, the
Business Mems Republican Club Of
New York City, Hearst's lndepend-
ence League. the Socialist Labor Lea
que, the Suffragette League, and, Mr..
Nathan Straus says, the Bryan and
Kern Business Mems League. There
has been great doubt about this last
named organization, but as Mr..
Straus has made pet scheme OF It,
the benefit of the doubt is duly ac-
corded to him. Most of these organ
izations have no connection with the
regular State or county organizations.

Resolution Under Table.
This attitude was well demonstrate
ed by the Hotel and Restaurant Mems
Union, when 1t substituted a motion
to table Gompers' appeal for money
for Bryan, with q contemptuous re-
solution to throw Il under the
table," Which was done.
The New York district organiza-
tion of machinists, $4,000 strong, has
also assailed the Gompers delivery"
plan.

advocating the support of Bryan.

principles of the Federation" Mr..
Ryan declares that his union will
not contribute one dollar to the Com
pers fund.
Three Union Presidents For Taft.
T. l.. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, takes di-
rect issue with Mr. Gompers on the
question of commanding the union
labor men to vote for Bryan. Presi-
dent Lewis, in q circular to members
of his union, says: THE United Mine
Workers did not elect me interna-
tional president to influence your
political preferences, or how you
| should cast your vote on election day.
| From what l know of our members,
| you are fully competent to decide for
yourselves how you will vote on cleo
| tion day."
James l.. Feeney, president of the
Elevator Constructors National Un-
ion, has declared for Taft.
T. J. Dolan, president of the Steam
| Shovelers' Union, has also declared
| for Mr.. Taft.
| Printers President Protests.
Norman E. McPhail, president of
the Typographical Union, says: "The
vote of organized labor will not and
cannot be delivered to any one party
by any one man or set OF men,"
| r. l.. Finnay, one of the organiz-
| ers of the American Federation of
Labor: "In endorsing Mr.. Taft's can
didacy for the Presidency l wish to
be understood as believing that Mr..
Gompers is sincere in his support of
Mr.. Bryan. also believe that he
has made the greatest mistake of his
life"
Union labor all over the country
resents bitterly the attempt of one
man to destroy the principles of the
organization. hazarding its existence
as that of the Knights of Labor
was first hazarded and then ruined
by forcing 1t into politics.
Organized labor men can be trust
ed to deliver their own votes.

MISSIONARIES PRAISE TAFTS
FAIRNESS IN FAR EAST

They Laud His Delicacy, Zeal and
= Initiative in the Philippines and
Say 1t Would BE Difficult to Ex-
aggerate the Importance Of His
Service to the Christian Mis-
sions There.
New York, Oct.-The Rev. DR..
Homer c. Stuntz, flrst assistant sec
retary of the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, who spent several years in
the Philippines Islands when Will
lam H. Taft was there, and who has
written book, entitled THE Phil
ippines and the Far East" has an
nounced his intention to vote for the
Republican candidate for President.
He is supporting Judge Taft's candi-
dacy heartily, and when seen to-day
spoke about the fairness which Taft
had shown to all religious scots In
the Philippines.
81 was in the Philippine Islands" Z"
said DR.. Stuntz, "as superintendent
of missions of the Methodist Church
from April, 1901, almost all the time
until December, 1906. During that
time ! had ample opportunity to OBJ

had arranged with Mr.. Gompers to
deliver the labor vote.
But Mr.. Gompers has found 1t
harder to perform than 1t was to
promise. His activity in the interests
of Bryan, and his calm assumption
that 1.-The organization under him
his" men-would vote as he tells 1t
to, have created dissension in the
ranks of labor.
Dissension Begins Early.
This dissension began to show it.
self almost Immediately after Mr..
Mack and Mr.. Gompers had reached
an agreement about their" organ
izations. The first protest came
from the Western Federation of
Miners. That Federation sent to all
labor unions a circular protesting
against Mr.. Gompers' plan to de
liver" their votes.
"Gompers has heard" the circular
said, "the censure that has come from
all quarters, and is up in arms to
rebel against the intimations that
have been made by many who Ques-
tion the course he has taken In an
attempt to swing the labor vote to
the Democratic party. 1t is appar-
ent that Gompers has heard the rum
bling in the ranks of organized labor,
and men who are neither "renegades
nor outcasts in the movement have
voiced their sentiments in no uncer-
tain terms in opposition to the man
whose political declarations have
raised the suspicion that the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is to be
made an annex of the Democratic
party in the pending campaign"
Vice-President Duncan.
Chief among those who object to
Mr.. Gompers' assumption of power
to deliver the labor vote to Bryan,
are two high officials of the Fedora
ton, one OF them next in command
to Gompers himself. They are James
Duncan, first vice-president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
Daniel ]. Keefe, sixth vice-president.
Vice-President Duncan, who is
president of the Granite Cutters
Union, says: 1.-THE labor movement
of our country is now, as heretofore,
Independent of parties. The labor
movement admonishes each organized
worker to cast his vote on election
day in strict accordance with his con-
science as to what would be the best
for the whole people,"
Vice-Presidcnt Keefe.
Vice-President Keefe, who is a
member CT the Federation's execu-
tive council and president of the
Longshoremen's Union, expressly re-
pudiates Mr.. Gompers' bargain to
"deliver" the labor vote, and says ::
"The American Federation of Labor
is not committed to any political
party, nor has any candidate for
President been indorsed by the ex-
ecutive council. Personally, l am
going to vote for William II. Taft,
because as Secretary of War he did
more to enforce laws in favor of or
ganized labor than any of his prede-
cessors."
Even Gompers' own union-that
of the Cigar Makers-from which he
used to hold a workingman's card,
before there was an Organization
under him." has condemned his
promise to deliver" the union vote.
Mr.. Gompers has undoubtedly sue
cceded admirably in one thing. He
! has affronted the conservative mem
bers of trades unions, who believe
that each has right to vote for him

GOOD TIMES.

Will 1t restore good times to elect
Mr.. Bryan, with his vague, untried
theories, almost universally con-
demned by business men? Mr.. Bryan
is a great orator and has a new line
of promises every four years, but if
you had quack doctor come to you
twice when you were i'll and try to
make you take a silver cure which
would cripple you for life, would you
try his new guarantee cure (no
charge for the consultation) when
you needed a real doctor? Mr.. Com
pers, who supported Mr.. Bryan when
he was shouting the silver cure, now
supports him with the gold (brick)
cure. Does Mr.. Gompers do your
thinking for you, and can he supply
work If Mr.. Bryan's remedies take
away your job?

PROGRESSIVE GOVERNMENT.

The workman wants progressive
government which will understand
and protect his interests. 1t is ad-
mitted that the Roosevelt admins
tration has done more to protect the
interests of labor than any other
since the Civil War. The President
says that Mr.. Taft is one of the best
friends of honest labor and has
helped the President in executing the
eight-hour law, in raising the wages
OF American workmen at Panama and
in promoting other interests of or
ganized labor. Is not President
Roosevelts opinion entitled to
weight? Think it over before you
vote.

Union. With those facts as basis
it has worked out rate of insurance
upon the loss liable to be occasioned
American business men by the selec-
tion of Bryan as President and upon
his chances of election. The chances
of Bryan's success, however, seems so
small to Lloyd's agents that the rate
has been extremely low.

as the victims in both affairs are yet in

this too busy world women often
have to work and weep at the

too few and their work heavy

her appetite and grows thin and
