they should. 4 committee OF ninety

The movement is inter-denomina-

lift Of men in every way possible. The
work has been divided into five depart
ments; the moral and spiritual wei
fare of the boys Of the community

service and missionary work.
AT the lshpeming meeting it is ex-
pectcd that a large committee viii be |

PRESIDENT TAFT I'M ADDRESS TO
EDITORS ASKS FOR A FAIR FIGHT

Washington, Aug. l7.-President
Taft made his first political speech
since that he made when notified Of
his denomination. Addressing men,
bers of the Maryland Republican Edi-
torial association in the east room OF
the White House he declared bluntly
that presidential electors were dis
honest men" if they let their names
appear on the Republican ballot and
intended to vote for the candidate of
another party. He asserted that those
who were not for the Republican par.
ty were against it and should get out
Of the way.
"All We ask is fair fight A man
cannot be in the Republican party and
In a third party at the same time and
should be compelled to make his Sc
lection" he said. Regularity or feel
ing of regularity and respect for the
Republican party for what it has done,
what it is capable of doing, are going
to bring over into the Republican par
ty many a man who has been doubtful
and it 10 going to increase that num-
Der, in my judgment, as we approach
the election.
ut is therefore essential that we
be made, so that those who are Repub-
licans shall be Republicans and those
who are with the boilers shall bear
their name and title and not be Re-
publicans and holters, because they
cannot beat least they ought not to
be-in all fairness. We ought to have
electors in each state bearing the en-
blem Of the Republican party, bear
ing the names of the candidate of that
party for president or vice president
ct the head of the ticket, covering the
electors who are going to vote for
those names.
II there are any men on that list
who are not going to vote for the man
at the head of that ticket l don't hest
tate to say that they are dishonest
men, in that they are holding out to
the people who are to vote for them
an implied promise that they will
vote for the names on the ticket,
when they, in fact, intend to vote for
somebody else. l think that is just
following the plainest kind Of princi-
pies of ordinary morals"
Support From Maryland.
Some of the editors told the presi-
dent that either the electors chosen
for the Republican ticket in Maryland
would declare their intention to sup
port him or a new state convention
would be held to make new selections.
He said he felt sure Maryland would
take long steps in the right direction.
The president began his speech with
q brief summary of what he said the
Republican party stands for. He said:
I'VE are Republicans. That means
that We believe in certain principles;
that we believe in the Constitution Of
the United States; that We believe in
maintaining that Constitution; that
we believe in the progress along the
lines that Constitution indicates. We
are protectionists, and We are in ia

prices being thus 66.6.

In prices over those or 1899, the

Crop Production and Population.
The figure just given, 10 per
cent, as representing the excess of
the value of the crops of 1909, on
the basis of 1899 values, over the
values of the same crops in 1899,
is virtually a consolidated express
sion of the general increase in the
quantity of crops produced. Cover
ing, as it does, nine-tenths of the
crops of the country, it may prop
erly be compared with the increase
of q per cent in the population of
the United States between 1900 and
1910. An earlier statement showed
that the increase in the number of
farms from 1900 to 1910 was 1913
per cent, and the increase in the
rural population which includes
places under $500 in addition to
the agricultural population, was 11.2
per cent, the increase in urban popu-
lation being 34.8 per cent. 1t is
only by reason of a great reduction
in the expectation of agricultural
products that the increasing con-
sumption of the country has been
supplied.
