ABERDEEN, $. d.. October o4-In q
speech before the Aberdeen Commercial
Club here last night President Taft re-
Piled with feeling to the charge that he
had set up the Supreme Court with the
idea that it was to emasculate the Sher-
man antitrust law. and declared anew
his intention to have that law enforced
to the letter.
The President referred to the criticism
OF the Supreme Courts rulings in the
Standard Oil and tobacco trust cases and
declared that nothing could be further
from the fact than the charges that the
statute had been made ineffective. The
Supreme Court, he said had declared that
any restraint OF trade or combination for
the purpose of suppressing competition
and controlling prices was an inhibition
of the law.

Judge Hiram C. Flack of West Liberty said the other day to the Pittsburg Ga- zette-Times, speaking of the notorious disfranchsed vote sellers of his native Ohio:
 Some of these men, I understand. even claimed that they didn't know 1t was wrong to sell ones vote. They were worse, then, than the voters of Cashel.
 ''All the voters of Cashel used to sell their votes and reform candidate once got the preachers of the town to preach against the sin of such scandalous con- duct.
 ''The day after these sermons the re- form candidate said to a party leader:
 "'Well, how will the election gof'
 "It will be close and difficult and ex- pensive sir, was the reply.

It is very characteristic of the Bulwer-Lyttons- this mixture of genius and fusion.

CASTRO AGAIN BREAKS THE

Of the ocean. Every probable port and
vessel has been under espionage in the
hope of capturing him before he could
effect landing in the South American
republic from which he has been in

worthy of a better cause, he seems to
have eluded all the authorities and to
have effected a landing so close to

doesn't seem to be perturbed by the

never looks worried about it. He
has abandoned his billed shirt and his

JUST COMPLAINT FROM GOV.
ERNMENT WATCHMEN.

That was just complaint registered
in The Times "Mail Bag" by Govern
ment watchman, who signs himself
"One of the Boys" He calls attention
to the fact that the departments close
at l o'clock on Saturday, thereby al,
lowing employees a half holiday every
week from July to October l, and pro,
tests the practice of requiring watch,
men not only to work Saturday after,
Moons but Sundays and legal holidays
all the year round, as we'll. One OF
the Boys" says:
them veterans of the civil war, never
get a holiday. not even a half though
they have given the prime of their lives
for their country. They are now old
men, yet true and faithful to the flag
under which they fought that the coun-
square deal?" They put in 365 days in
each year, less thirty days annual leave,
while the assistant messengers, all
young men, get every Saturday half
holiday off, every, Sunday off, and every
holiday off, yet they get the same pay,
$50 a month, with comparatively no re-
sponsibility. Is there any justice in
such procedure
Just why a Government that can
afford to provide yachts and automo-
biles for the use of its high officials
cannot afford to hire enough watchmen
to obviate the necessity of requiring
all-day labor every day in the year
from the men who guard its property
has never been satisfactorily explained.
This protest by "One of the Boys" de-
serves attention. 1t ought to stand
as No. in the list of items under the
head of Economy and Efficiency of
Administration, which is just now re-
ceiving so much attention in the ex-
ecutive and legislative branches of the
Government.

THE BOY WITH HIS LINEN
BREECHES.

A good deal of ingenuity has beer
expended by scientists and tailors il
the effort to discover fashions and fab
rics which would most successfully en-
able sweltering humanity to endure
the heated term. The result ranges
all the way from the interstitial peek.
aboo to the spidery clocked hosiery
which Victor Hugo called "the provoca.
tive invention of decency." The alb.
sorbent qualities of cotton and wool
and all the peculiarities of the solar
spectrum are gravely debated and the
product sold with straight face.
And yet the cunning and the skill of
man have never yet devised anything
which deserved to be mentioned in the
same breath with that incarnation of
cool impudence and comfort, the small
boy in his linen breeches. They tell us
that he still exists. The rumor reaches
us like a wayfarer's tale that in
tangled, shadowy forests, or in remote
islands OF the sea, there are vet fauns
and satyrs, rollicking in the buoyant
freedom of the life primeval. To us,
at least, he seems like a memory and
drops into the lengthening file of types
and scenes which were dearer in "the
good old days" But whether he be
removed by length of time or space, his
image, lightly habited in the court cos
tune of royal boyhood, floats back like
a daybreak breeze that is born of a
mountain pool.
In those days pinchbeck militarism
and barrack room poetry had not clad
the world in khaki. The staple of boy
ish garments was jeans in winter and
linen in summer, and when the sum
mer days came they brought with them,
as inevitably as it brought the May
pops and the rabbit tobacco, the boy
in his linen breeches. Durability alone
explains why they were not of cotton.
The same explanation would not hold
good in the matter of that palmetto
hat, with an average capacity of a
peck of apples, but in fairness to the
parents of that elder time it should be
explained that no enduring headgear
has ever yet been found which would
really meet the demand. A checked
homespun blouse, held together toward
the equator by a rice button and half,
rolled outward to receive the breeze.
Lighter hearted than his friend the
lark and quite as free, he went his way,
knowing nothing and caring less of the
strange jargon which men speak today
of humidity and sunstroke and the
caloric spawn of an overwrought civili-
zation. In sober earnest a sweltering
world not only recalls with envy the
carelessness which spoke in his whistled
tunes, but fain would adopt that airy
costume of homespun blouse, making
chance connection here and there with
those yellow linen breeches. For one
who has ceased to envy him
Thine hath but little left him to de-
stroy;
All, happy days. Once more who would
not be a boy?"

their adulation on Charlie Taft, who
Virgins says (his brother, too, is rail-

while the skipper did the sailing.
