national disputes: the systematic, conpre-
hensive and businesslike Improvement OF
our our rivers harbors ard Waterways Is ane as
! final judicial Interpretation proves TO De
necessary for the proper regulation OF mo-
nopoies.
we commend the action of Congress in
the creation OF a commission to investigate
the question of employers liability laws
| make recommendations to the President
and to Congress. We believe that INDUS
trial accidents to workmen should be treat
ed as inevitable incidents to industrial op-
erationS and the compensation therefor as
a part of the cost of production. The eX-
perience of other countries demonstrates
that this principle can be applied to our IN
dustr1a1 condition without increasing the
burdens of industry.
We indorse the principle of conservation
of our natural resources and cordially IN
dorse the action of the present Congress IN
enacting, and of President Taft in APPROX
ing LEGISLATION along this line We refer
n nrS5' to to- the dnt act OF
power TO withdraw public lands from entry
aid settlement whenever the public Wel1are
demands: and. second to the act separating
the surface from the coal. and authorizing
agricultural homestead entries on lands
heretofore withdrawn from entry or settle
ment under coal land classification. Under
this act millions of acres of the public do
main can be entered by homeSteaderS and
limited patent to surface granted, reservlng
the title 70 the coal in the federal govern
ment for future disposition in accordance
with law
Against Abuses by Monopoly.
We demand the enforcement of existing
laws and the enactment of new laws for the
protection. wise use and conservation of the
natural resources under the control OF the
federal government These resources, such
as the coal deposits Of Alaska, water power
and reservoir sites. should be developed un-
der a system by which any abuses OF
monopoly can be avoided, extort1on from

ton to the public obtained.

the Ohio Democracy in its recent platform

TAFT LIKES NOMINATION
Calls Harding One OF the Best
Campaigners of State.
NEVER OPPOSED GARFIELD
Would Have Supported Him
Heartily if Nominated-Float
Settles Under President.

Bi6deford Pool, Me. July 2l--Wireiess
teisgraphy brought to President Taft to-
day che news of the nomination of Warren
c. Harding as the Republican candidate
for Governor of Ohio. Mr.. Taft spent all
except the early forenoon hours at sea
and thus was cut off from direct telegraph
communication for the greater part OF the
day A telephone wire alone reaches BIO
deford Pool which was all a-nutter with
excitement to-day over the President Visit
so tho Chief Magistrates advisers chose
the wireless as the best method Of keep
ing him informed. If Mr.. Taft had planned
the itinerary of his cruise with the special
pUrpcse OF being difficult of access on the
nc nlinating day of the Ohio convention he
could not have devised better schedule
th., that followed to-day. To add to the
difficulty of reaching him. the wireless on
board the Mayfiower got cranky and
woI ked badly.
President Taft finally came ashore here
at sp m He was expected to disembark
fn.n1ediately after the Mavfiow"r anrhore'
at 3 o'clock. but there was long delay on
shipboard. due It was said, 10 break III
the machinery of the Presidents power
launch
May Send Congratulations To-day.
Mr.. Taft seemed delighted over the out
come in Ohio. He has q very high
estimate Of Mr. Harding. He said to-
CAV that with the possible exception OF
ex-senator Foraker. he regarded Mr.. Hard
Ing as the best campaigner in the State OF
Ohio on either SIDE. Mr. Taft said Mr.
Harding was q forcible and eloquent man,
and he gave every indication in his infor-
mai discussion of the situation to-day of
looking on the nominee SIS about the
strongest man the convention could have
selected. When he gets TO Beverly to-
morrow he will probably send Mr.. Harding
a telegram of congratulation.
The President made It plain to-day that
at no time had he opposed the nomination
OF James r. Garfield. Both in converse
tion with the Ohio leaders and in written
communications Mr.. Taft expressly stated
that Il Mr.. Garfield should pe the nominee
he would tender him his hearty support
President Taft related in this connection
an incident Of last February, when Mr..
Harding called on him at the White House
in Washington Mr. Harding said he had
come to the President because he had
heard Mr.. Taft had decided TO support Mr..
Garfield for the nomination. The President
replied that the report was entirely without
foundation. He said he was not interfering
in the Ohio situation in any way and would
not.

Council expects TO build az
much chip limestone sidewalk
as possible within the next

attractive and dry sidewalk in
resident sections. No assess
ment is made against abutting
lot owners on account of it, but
the property owners are re-
quired to grade off the walk
ready for the stone under the
direction of the en- gineer for the

4 number Of families on East

One young lady returning home
from a neighbours just across
