SAYS MILWAUKEE. is BETTER
THAN ANY TOWN THAT'S DRY
Remarkable Comparison Drawn by
Capt. n. n. Kline, Salvation
Army Worker

An interesting comparison of social
conditions among the working people
of Milwaukee and other cities in which
he has been stationed, as one of the
officers in industrial work of the SAL
Walton Army during the last twelve
years, is made by Captain H. II. Kline,
head of the armyS Industrial home,
Milwaukee, who will leave on Septem-
Der to open a social and industrial
center in Lincoln, Neb.
When / came to Milwaukee" says
Captain Kline, Il had heard so many
tales about it being great brewery
center that 1 expected to find the cit.

erty and crime

I'm many prohibition towns and cit
les l have learned from sad expert
ence that prohibition does not pro-
hibit. The difference is that while the
Workingman in Milwaukee gets his
glass of beer and goes home, the man
in the prohibition town, knowing the
difficulty of getting drink every time
he wants it, lays in a stock consisting
of at least bottle, many times more.
Then having it so ready at hand, he
doesn't stop till it's all gone

order, poverty and suffering than l
have ever seen in Milwaukee. OF all
the men We have aided since l have
been here, and they number hundreds,
| can safely say that at least nine out
OF every ten were transients passing
through the city.
The people here are a sober. indus
trious lot. How rarely one hears in
Milwaukee Of drunken brute going
home and abusing his wife and helpless
children. And yet that is one of the
most frequent results of drink, espe.
cialiy drink as served out in these pro-
hibition towns" ''s---a--.--
Captain Kline has been a year in
Milwaukee, but has fully justified the
reputation which preceded him as an
earnest and capable worker Many
improvements and increased facilities
in the industrial home, a largely in
creased income, testify to the service
rendered here, and his brother officers
, In the army feel that the loss to the
workers here will be serious.
He will be succeeded in charge q;

industrial home in Omaha.-Milwaukee

by increasing the prices. and therefore
in order to avoid such danger, il was
wise at regular intervals to examine
the question, what the effects Of the
rates had been upon the industries 81
this country and whether the con5i-
tons with respect to the cost of pro-
duction were such as to warrant a re-
duction in the tariff and to make u
lower rate for the protection of the
industry.
1T will be observed that the object
of the revision under such STATE
ment was not to destroy protected in
dustries, bat to continue to protect
them where lower rates offered a suffi
cient protection to prevent injury by
foreign competition. That was the
object of the revision as advocated by
me and it certainly was the object OF
the revision as promised in the repnb-
lican platform.
Must Understand Platform.
Il want to make as clear as l can
the proposition, because i'm order 10
determine whether a bill is COM
pliance with the terms of that platform
it must be understood what the plat
form means. A free trader is Opposed
to any protective rate because he
thinks that our manufacturers, Our
farmers and our miners ought to with
stand the competition of foreign mann
facturers and miners and farmers, or
else go out OF business and f1pd some
thing else more profitable to DO.
Now certainly the promises of the
platform did not contemplate tse
downward revision Of the tariff rates
to such Il point that any industry here-
tofore protected should be injured.
Hence those who contend that the
promise Of the PLATFORM was to reduce
prices by letting in foreign comDe-
tition are contendiDg for 4 free trade,
and not for anything that they had
the right to infer from the republican
platform.
THE ways and means committee OF
the house, with Mr.. Payne as its head,
devoted q full year to asse milling evf-
dence in reference to the rates under
the tariff and devoted an immense
amount of work in the study of the
question whereby tariff rates could BE-
reduced and on which they could be
raised with a view to maintaining
reasonable protective rate under the
principles of the platform, for every
industry that deserves protection

INSURGENTS ARE

At Winona, Mimi, President Strongly

ure and Asserts insurgents Acted
Unwiseiy - Personal Preferences
Shou d BE laid Aside.

WINONA, Mimi. Sept. 1S.--In the
most important utterances he has
made since the occupancy of the
White House, President Taft here last
night. in a state which is the hot bed
of the republican ''insurgent" move
ment, defended the Payne tariff bill
as the best tariff measure ever passed
by a republican congress, and hence
the best tariff bill the people ever
have known.
The president boldly asserted that
bill! had abandoned the republican
party.
was it the duty of the member of
congress who believed that the bill
did not accomplish everything that
it ought to accomplish, to vote
against it," asked the president. Il
am here to justify those who answer
this question in the negative I am
not here to defend those who voted
for the Payne bill, but to support
them"
ITO make party government effec-
tive" said the president in his ad-
dress, THE members Of that party
should surrender their personal pre-
delictons on tariffs of less import
ance l am not here to criticise those
who felt so strongly and believed SO
intensely that it was their duty to
vote against the tariff bill. because
it did not contain all they thought it
should
1T was question for each to set
tie for himself.
In matters of this kind it is a
question with the party representa-
tive whether he shall hep maintain
the party solidarity for accomplishing
its chief purposes. or whether the de-
parture from principle in the bill, as
he regards it. is SO extreme that he
must in conscience abandon the party
am glad to see that those who voted
against the bill still insist that they
are republicans and that they intend
to keep up the fight for still lower
tariff rates within the party"
Splendid Defense Of PAYNE Bill.
President Taft's speech was a re-
narkab'e and splendid speech in de-
Tense of the Payne bill He had met
with many queries since the begin
ming Of his trip as when he intended
taking up the subject of the tariff.
