THE LAWS JEOPARDY.

Sometimes il takes a great shock
to arouse US to a sense of our danger.
Pain Is mans best friend; 1t warns
him that he is violating nature S
laws. When our theories are wrong
a premature result, like an ache in
the solar plexus, frequently calls for
reform. The explosion in the Los
Angeles Times building meant some
thing; but 1t neither meant that the
theory of men organizing for their
own Advancement and welfare of
their craft and for the purpose of
contracting in a body with their en-
ployers is wrong; nor that the disor-
dered brain which conceived and
executed the hideous plot of murder
and arson was registering a desper-
ate protest against social evils. II
means that efforts to arouse class
hatred, denunciations OF everybody in
an influential position as tyrant
and wrong doer; of the courts as
perverted from justice; of society as
degenerate; of the government as
tyrannical; and the rights of property
as a sham, has ripened some early
fruit.
The pity of II Is that the stigma
will rest, where we believe II does
not belong, on the striking unions;
because the paper was fighting the
unions, and the home of the owner
and of the head of the association of
employers, which strives for the open
shop. also. were dynamited. The
unions should not only disavow any
connection; but should add a sub
stantial sum to the reward for the
information. leading to the convic-
ton of the culprits; as earnest Of
their desire to see the law upheld.
The safety of the workingman
rests in the law. The safety of every
poor man and man of moderate
means rests in law enforcement.
Take away the law and the rich and
powerful will rule with an iron
hand. Give us a state which owns
all the property. employees all citizens
and regulates their home and social
life. and the man. who with Louis
XIV. can say. THE STATE!-IT Is

Speech Before League OF
Republican Clubs Outlines
Policies And Promises.

New York, Oct. 3.-National pros
perity-the tangible variety that
springs directly from the soil and is
measured, not in stocks and bonds,
but in good American crops-is pre-
dicted by President Taft for the
coming year.
In an optimistic address at the
banquet OF the National League of
Republican clubs the nations execu-
tive told the party leaders that all
records for harvests and a well dis
tributed prosperity would be broken
in the twelve months to come. And
then he produced figures, evidently
gathered by his agricultural depart
ment, to mack up his prediction.
Prediction of Prosperity.
Here are President Taft's views
on prosperity and his definition of
the progressive Republicans:
Ii gives me the greatest satisfac-
ton 10 say that i'm spite of all the
rumors of possible business stagna-
ton, our basic prosperity is assured
for the coming year in that the
great volume of the crops now being
harvested in value will exceed the
products Of our fields at any period
in the past. Our corn will equal
approximately three thousand mil
lions of dollars, and the significance
of this fact in its bearing on the
business of next year can hardly be
A progressive Republican Is one
who recognizes existing and con-
crete evils and who Is In favor OF
definite steps to eradicate them.
Anplifies His Prophecy.
The president ampli1ed his pro-
phecy of prosperity with these
words
"The millionaire, the great manu-
facturer and the capitalist seem to
derive more benefit, measured in
dollars and cents, from prosperity
than do the individual workman,
farmer. small merchant, clerk and
man. But In actual
human comfort and happiness pros
perity is vastly more important to
the wage-earner than to the wealthy.
Hence 1t is legitimate Office of

PRESIDENT TAFT TELLS ACHIEVEMENTS
OF HIS PARTY DURING HIS TERM

those charged with governmental
responsibility TO do what they car
TO prevent the spreading OF fears
which will drive capital to its
boarding place and prevent the in.
vestments necessary to carry on the
widely expanded business OF this
country from which our people de.
rive their livelihood. Business men
now view with favor rather than
with alarm strict enforcement OF
law"
Remedial Laws Passed.
Then the president got down Ia
the remedial bits of legislation
passed by the Republicans during
the present administration. lie said /:
1T is truly a Republican dlstinc-
ton that our party has been able to
place on the statute books far
reaching remedial legislation touch
ing the very vitals of our social and
economic structure without inyolv-
ing the country in financial disaster.
A party of true progress is not a
party OF radicalism. II Is not a
party of ultra-conservatism. A pro-
gressive Republican is one who
recognizes existing and concrete
evils who is in favor of practical
and definite steps to eradicate them.
Now, what are the specific evils
that have reused our people? / be-
lieve that they have been growing
in this country for years end years,
and they can be briefly stated thus:
Names Two Specific Evils.
81. The corrupt control of legis-
lative and governmental agencies
for the establishment, maintenance
and enjoyment of unjust privileges
by individuals or corporate wealth.
To make this control effective there
have been organized and maintained
corrupt machines within both parties
which break the current of COM
and responsive action
between the people and those who
are elected TO serve and represent
them.
"2. Combinations Of capital in m
business, generally brought
together for the ostensibIe and COM
mendable purpose of reducing the
costs of production and distribution,
have too often had the real purpose
Of suppressing competition, controIl-
ing prices and maintaining mo-
nopoly.
Every one who is frank must
admit that great progress has been
made in fighting these evils. Fiji
