TAFT'S
SPLENDID RECORD.
SOME OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF
HIS ADMINISTRATION
PRESENTED.
GREAT WORK HAS BEEN DONE
Moro Prosecution Of Trusts and More
Social Reforms Secured Than
Under Any Previous
President.

HE has met every crisis that
has arisen during hIs admins
tration with firmness and reso-
luton. The bluff and bIuster of
political enemies have not made
him finch an lota from his de-
termination to do that which
he believed to be for the gen.
eraI welfare Of all classes Of
people In this repubIIc."-Rep-
resentatIve Kahn Of California,
In an address reviewing Presi-
dent Taft's Administration.
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1912-09-26


The record OF President Taft's ad-
ministration is one or splendid achieve
ment.
His administration has broken all
records for prosecutions brought and
won under the Sherman antitrust law.
Without fear or favor IL has brought
to the bar of justice corporations and
persons engaging In illegal combina-
lions In restraint of trade, the ulti-
mate purpose OF each combination be-
Ing to create a monopoly and to raise
the prices on its products. In two
years and eleven months of his ad-
ministration President Taft caused :,
be instituted twenty-five civil suits
and forty criminal suits against IL
legal trusts. Roosevelt, in the seven
and a half years of his presidency,
only instituted forty four suits against
illegal combinations.
Under President Tsft's administra-
ton the great Sugar trust frauds were
unearthed resulting III the forced res
titution of millions Of dcIiars into the
national treasury. These frauds.
which were based upon the bribery Of
customs officials to dishonesty value
imports of sugar We're in progress
during the last administration, but
were not detected until Taft became
president.

Corporation Tax.

Corporation Tax.
President Taft suggested and Sc
cured the enactment or a law impos-
ing a tax upon corporations which
adds $4,000, 900 annually to the reve-
nues of the government.
He advocated and approved the law
establishing postal saving banks.
These banks are now the repositories
of many millions of dollars and afford
to people of small means IN remote To-
calities an easy and safe method of
accommodating money.
Under his direction there has been
an investigation of the excessive and
unfair charges of the express COM
panies and a complete Encouragement
Of rates ordered.
Railroads have been prevented from
putting rate increases into effect with.
out the approval Of the interstate COM
MERGE commission. While this legis-
lation was pending an effort was made
by certain trunk lines to increase
rates. A temporary Injunction was
Immediately obtained by the attorney
general, and by agreement with the
railroad presidents they did not put
the increases into effect but waited
for the enactment of the law. They
then applied to the interstate com
merce commission for permission, un-
der the new law, to make the increase,
but their application was denied by
the commission. The railroads de-
nounced the president and his attor-
ney general for the stand they took In
protecting the rights of the shippers.
Other Reforms Accomplished.
The white slave traffic has been
vigorously and effectively attacked.
and severe punishment has been
melted out to those engaged in the
nefarious business.
A bureau OF mines has been estab-
lished. so as to safeguard the lives OF
miners. President Taft personally at.
tended a demonstration OF the meth.
DDS employed to rescue miners and
has done everything in his power to
give efficiency to this new bureau.
Another great social reform which
President Taft advocated and which
received HIS hearty approval when the
law was passed concerns the investi-
CATION of child labor conditions by the
government. President Taft selected
a woman to manage the bureau which
is conducting the, inquiry In order that
there might be a sympathetic and
thorough administration OF the law.
Under President Taft's administra-
ton the Panama canal will be COM
pleted ahead of time. without a faint
OF graft. President Taft has made
several visits to the isthmus In order
to personally assure himself that the
work was being prosecuted honestly
and vigorously.
An income tax amendment to the
federal constitution has been sub
mitted to the states and now lacks
only the Affirmative action OF the
legislatures of three OF four additional
states to become part Of the fun.
damental law of the land.
Tariff Revised Downward.
The tariff has been revised down
ward. Under the Payne tariff law, ap-
proved by President Taft, the list Of
articles admitted duty free was in
creased. while the average rates of
duty upon all dutiable articles was de-

"A Permanent Cure For
Chronic Constipation

Although those may dispute It who
have not tried it, yet thousands of
others, who speak from personal eX-
perience, assert that there is a per-
manent cure for chronic constipation
Some testify they We're cured for as
little as fifty cents, years ago, and
that the trouble never came back on
them. while others admit they took
several bottles before steady cure
was brought about.
The remedy referred to is DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. 1t has been on
the market for over quarter Of a
century and has been popularized on
its merits, by one person telling an
other. The fact that its strongest
supporters are women and elderly
people-the ones most persistently
nstipated-makes 1t certain that the
claims regarding 1t as a permanent
cure for constipation have not been
exaggerated
1t is not violent like cathartlc pills,

The trcstle work ran up the side or

alongside the railroad tracks The
plant has been operated recently by
the Standard Roofing company OF
Tulsa and the loss win probably run
into the thousands of dollars.
Workmen were sent to the scene

No cause is given for the sudden

A fire department in town of this
size is absolutely essential One can
never tell when a fire is going to
break out and it is well to be on the
safe side at such a time. The town
which has a well organized fire de-
partment can congratulate itself and
the town which has not may as well
prepare TO die for the fool killer will
get it ere long. II is nothing but the
rankest foolishness to risk the loss OF
thousands of dollars worth of proper
ty by fire when q little money expend-
ed now would make all property safe.
It is useless to lock the barn after
the horse is stolen.
