who is still most ardent adherent Il
T. r. personally and a great believer IN
the political fortunes Of the Silent Sage

Another thing ] want to tell you, ard
most people overlook this most impos-
tant fact, is that il 7. r. had not takn
part in the fight in New York, the Re
publican party would have been d.
feated by at least $4,000, instead of ty
a measly 7c,00. What is 1000, anyhoV,

with the Republican defeat In Ohio? TEH

enemy or capital 1t is preposterous
He isn't as big fool as that On the
contrary, he is a friend Of capital, anc
Wall street knows 1t. We are all friends
Of capital. But r. r. wants capital and
labor 10 go hand in hand, and that's
what he is fighting for.

good man, very able man, and honest
and patriotic but / honestly think he

the Supreme Court. and / believe that ne
thinks so himself Just to prove TO YOU
how popular Roosevelt is all over the
country. ] want TO tell you that when
/ called on him last Tuesday he told me
that he had invitations to speak at 1900
different places. Do you grasp that2
Three thousand invitations, That means
something; there's significance IN that
Does Taft get any invitations 10 speak,
worth talking of That's il
Il tell you the Social Democratic party

DO you realize that they were successful
in forty cities. townships, and counties
at the last election, electing State sena-
tors, assemblymen, and other oficials9

Those who have studied the Russo

This is because they eat rice, one Of the

National decline or ascension is deter

The solution is 10 replace the disease

blood is here TO attend the meetings OF
the Society for the Promotion Of Peace,
which is to have its first meeting to-day.
Speaking of peace in its broadcast as
pect. DR.. Trueblood said that the last
Carnegie foundation of S10.0o0.000 will be
n powerful factor in promoting the peace
idea.
There is no good reason why every
dispute, no matter OF what nature.
should not be settled by An international
peace court. There is no excuse for shed
ding blood under any circumstances. as
there is no question which cannot be ad-
justed by peaceful means.
The immediate purpose Of the Car

peace societies are to use their efforts 10
prevent an increase in the ornaments OF
the various nations including navies and
armies. That accomplished. il IS our aim
TO bring about a gradual disestablish-

President Taft is a stout adherent OF
the peace idea. and so IS the French
