President Taft's campaign letter

vision. in the Republican party. 1t
points out what great work has been
accomplished since his Inauguration
and what remains to do. What was
done was accomplished because the
President was supported by Congress:
II the other Republican pledges are to
be redeemed it must be done by an
other Republican Congress. In no
other way can progress be made dur
ing this administration, as Demo.
cratic House means n deadlock and
inaction.
If the Republicans are to present n
full record on which to ask the in
dorsement OF the people In 1912 they
must elect Republican House OF
Representatives in the next Congress.
The Senate will continue Republican.
but division, unreasoning criticism
and fault-fnding among Republicans
makes the political complexion Of the
next House q matter Of doubt. There
should be no doubt. The Republicans
have the votes to make that House
clearly and strongly Republican. 1t
is only question of getting together
and giving loyal support to the kind
ly and wise President whom their
suffrage placed in responsibility and
power.

The SERIOUS looking" individual
who leaped on the platform after Col.
Roosevelt had finished speaking yes
terday and asking who was payingMr.
Roosevelt's travelling expenses and
then called the colonel liar when he
was told belongs to the list OF medic,
ores who are always jeaous Of any one
who rises above them. Col. Roose'
welt frankly answered the man when
asked saying that the Outlook Pub
fishing Company was paying the ex'
penses of the trip, and the SERIOUS
looking individual replied that the
ex.President was a liar, the people
were paying the bill" That has be-
come such q trite remark on the lips
OF some people that they think every
! expense that anyone else has is com
{ ing off OF them. 1t Is only very re-
5motely that the people pay the expens'

ing Company. The people do pay all
expenses Of everybody in the long run.
They pay the expenses Of the mer.
chants, the hotel keepers, the carpen.

Z and professional men generally but 1t
is in about the same way they pay the
bills OF Theodore Roosevelt while
travelling in the interest OF \ great
New York journal, they get value re-
ceiyed for what they give. 1t is true
things are not very evenly divided
up but there is no accounting for dis,
tribdtion Of wealth except the differ
ence in ability Of people to make and
save money. The serious looking
individual who offered an insult to
the ex.President of the United States
! about a matter that was none OF his
concern was an undesirable citizen
s and the fewer we have of his type the
!, less danger there Is of rearing anarch
lists among our American families. II
would be no great surprise to hear Of
the son OF man who would publicly
call an ex.President liar under such
circumstances seeking the life Of Q
public official whom the child of such
a parent would consider as tyrant
and, worthy OF death.

THE CORPORATIONS RIGHT.

President Jordan of stamford uul-
yersity is treaaiDe on dangerous
ground when he announces, az he is
reported to have announced in an
Interview in the Boston Transcript,
that "A corporation can no longer be
given the same rights as an indyid-
ual as was held In the Dartmouth
college case. II Is too powerful an
organization. He need not have
added I'm many cases ii is an un
moral and immoral grant" While
the last sentence expresses the truth
IL is not necessary to go that far To
support the first proposition laio
down n is enough To say that, as
the corporation possesses certain
rights con erred by statute il woula
have rights superior To those of the
individual if. in addition 10 those
conferred by law. il had all the
rights poSsresed by the individual.
Much of the difficulty experienced
y" "N"iihS with WI oidtiolS uiiStS
from the fact that the courts have
obscured the line between the Cod
made man and the handmade corpo-
ration. and clear understanding on
the difference is the beginning OF
wisdom in corporation matters

service in calling attention To the
subject, but he may excite the wrath
