OSBORN TO NAME TAFT?

In special sent out from Kansas e

licity man OF the Taft administration
who is accompanying the president on
his swing round the circle. the an
|nouncement is made that Governor
Chase $. Osborn is being talked OF as
the Republican leader above all others
to nominate Taft at the national con-

When this statement was shown to
Chairman Frank Knox the state
central committee he admitted that
some of the members Of the presiden-
tial party had discussed with him Gov
ernor Osborn's placing the president in
nomination at the national convention.
Such a selection would be a most
admirable one. II would insure the
naming OF Taft in fashion most ac-

give renewed emphasis TO the progress

REMEDY UP TO PEOPLE.

AT Waterloo, Iowa. yesterday. Pres
ident Taft gave one of the most i'm
Iportant speeches Of his present trip,
discussing the relation Of government
to business" It was carefully pre-
pared speech, a true analysis OF the
situation which now exists in the busl-
ness world, an appeal for the restora-
ton OF confidence and more reasonable
treatment OF honest business enter
lprises to the end that investment Of
capital may be encouraged and pros
perity promoted.
The presidents remarks should have
good effect He did not defend abuses
in business, making it plain that evils
are in process OF being remedied and
that combinations in restraint of trade
are being brought under the law. The
point brought out by him is that the
| fight against trusts has created wide
spread antagonism against all big
business interests. and that the people
have been carried for a time beyond
the median line Of common sense and
into the extremeties of unreasonable
ness" The president realizes that this
is one OF the inevitable consequences
Of a deep rooted evil. But he be-
lieyes it is time to call a halt against
appeals 10 a spirit Of hostility to pros
perity on the theory that no one can.
be prosperous without being dishonest
or violator Of the law in securing
the profits Of his business.
Mr.. Tafts appeal to the people to
unite in movement to frown down
attacks engendered by wish to arouse
unjust prejudice should be needed.
Investments are needed to support
wage earners and promote prosperity
and so long as there is doubt and dis
trust among investors just so long
VIII the country at large suffer. There
must be cooperation and confidence
must be restored between all classes
Of persons who have been opposing
each other in times past. The remedy
Is up to the people themselves. Capt.
tai will be invested, and invested hon
estly If given half a chance.
The business Of the country is in
difficult situation. Capital is alarm

The question of the right of

LATE WITHIN THEIR
LIMITS the rates of transporta-
ton of railroad companies engag-
ed in interstate commerce now
pending before the supreme court
is. in my opinion, one of the most
important if not the MOST IN
PORTANT question with which
that court has had to deal in re-
cent years. There is nothing that
we eat, nothing that we wear, no
part of the house that shelters us,
but that its cost is affected by the
question of TRANSPORTA-
TON.
The old question of state
rights, the question of the right
of state to DISSOLVE, in so
far as it is concerned, the federal
compact is of interest only from
the standpoint of history. That
question was settled by civil war.
