DEFINES POLICY
ON MAIN ISSUES

Following are extracts from Presi-
dent Taft's letter to William b. Nc
Kinley, chairman Of the Republican
congressional committee:
Party Solidarity.
81 assume that when this letter is
given publicity the lines will be drawn.
the party candidates will have been
selected, and the question for de-
cision will be whether we shall
have in the house of representa-
tives a Republican or a Democratic
majority. The question, then, will be
not what complexion of Republican
ism one prefers, but whether it is bet
ter for the country to have the Re-
publican party control the legislation
for the next two years and further re-
deem its promises, or to enable De-
mocratic majority in the house either
to interpose a veto to Republican mea-
sures or to formulate and pass bills to
carry out Democratic principles. Pro-
minence has been given during the
preliminary canvasses just ended to
the differences between Republicans;
but in the election such differences
should be forgotten. Differences with
in the party were manifested in the
two sessions of the present congress,
and yet never in it's history has the
Republican party passed and become
responsible for as much useful and
progressive legislation. \
Hence it is important that after
Republican congressional candidates
have been duly and fairly chosen, all
Republicans who believe in the party
principles as declared in it's national
platform of 1908 should give the can
didates loyal and effective support. If
this is done, there will be no doubt
of a return of Republican majority.
Democratic Republieanism.
"The only other alternative is a
Democratic majority. 1t is difficult
very difficult, to state all the princi-
pies that would govern such a ma
jority in its legislative course; and
this because it's party platforms have
presented a variety of planks not al
together consistent and because in the
present congress, leading Democrats
in the senate and the house have not
hesitated to repudiate certain of their
party pledges and to deny their bind
ing character We may reasonably
assume, however, that a Democratic
majority in the house would reject the
Republican doctrine of protection as
announced in 1908.
What, therefore, has a Republican
who believes in protection but objects
to some rates or schedules in the pre-,
sent tariff act to hope for from a de-
mocratic majority which, if allowed it's
way, would attack the protective sys.

O'Gorman suffered especially during

WOMEN IN DAYS OF PHARAOH
Marriage Contract Shows That Ladies'
of Egypt Were Not Undu'y
Oppressed.

Most Of us make the acquaintance OF
Egypt In the splendidly dramatic story
Of Joseph and his brethren, and so
look on Pharaoh and his people as
gloomy and malign prosecutors, ut
only to be swallowed up In the Red
sea waves. Or we read Of the graves
and sober monuments Of the Nile val
ley, with their perpetual reminders OF
death and the kingdom Of night; with
III, result that we are hardly prepared
to realize the gay and lightsome side
Of the ancient Egyptian life, or to
credit the thought that those tomb
builders could ever break into
smile. But there was side OF gayety
and of charm. and just as we are find
ing that so many of our deeper and
more philosophical thoughts go back
to the people of the Delta, so we are
beginning to discover the originals OF
all our jokes in the buried cities OF
the Nile.
That ladies were not unduly op-
pressed in the land Of the Pharaohs,
We may gather from this marriage
contract, from fourth-century Demo
tic manuscript, but dating in form to
Tar older times: "
IT," says the Lady Iris, take thee as
suy husband. Thou makest me thy
wife, and givest me, in token OF dover,
hye-tenths of silver. If discharge
thee as my husband, hating thee and
loving another more than thee, shall
give and return to the two and a
half tenths Of silver, Of what thou
gavest me as my dover, and cede
unto thee all and everything that
shall acquire with thee, one-third part,
as long as thou art married unto me"
Not even Chicago or Reno can boast
of a franker marriage contract than
that; and there is something wonder
fully naive in the idea of the good lady
Isis "discharging" her lord, on the
ground that she hates him and loves
another better. The sum she returns
him, as part Of her now Cancelled Wod-
or, Is about equal to silver dollar.

Horse Doing Tricks at the State Fair

animals seen with circuses and in tho

extract the hard earned nickels and
dimes from visitors who are bent on
having a good time and seeing all
there Is to be seen
only very few years ago. Joseph
Atkinson, who resides at the corner
OF Bennett and tauterette street,
owned horse which was quite
spirited. There was Arabian blood I'm
the animals veins and he showed it.
MIR Atkinson did not relish having
his arms pulled off and wrestling with
the horse every time he hltched him
up, so he determined to sell him. Tho
sale was made to James B. CUTLERY
of east Center street. There was a lit
tie too much high life there for Mr.
CUTLERY and before long he disposed
of the spotted horse.
The horse had passed from the
memory of Mr.. CUTLERY, but last
week when he attended the state fair
at Columbus, he saw advertised on
the canvas a horse which did some
wonderful stunts. The elimination Of
the act was dash made from a
burning building right through a
pane of glass with little child in
its mouth. Mr.. CUTLERY decided the
act was worth seeing so he paid the
admission fee and went inside the
tent. When the animal appeared for
it's act, Mr. Cutlery recognized the
spotted Arabian horse which was too
lively for him. He inquired the price
of the horse and was almost knocked
down when told that 1t was $4,000.
Mr.. Atkinson and Mr.. CUTLERY now
recall that the horse showed signs
of unusual intelligence and even had
a few tricks which II did, but II
never entered their minds that they
were done through anything but mis-
chievousness.
Mr.. Atkinson and Mr.. Cutlery are
taking turns consoling each other
over having had a diamond IN the
