Taft'S Statement

Cincinnati, November 5.-President Taft at Il o'clock tonight conceded the election of Governor Wilson. He issued the following statement from his broth er's house here:
 "The returns insure the election Of Governor Wilson to the presidency. This means an early change in the economic policy of the government ip reference to the tariff If this change can be made without halting prosperity l sin cerely hope it may be.
 "The vote for MT. Roosevelt, the third party candidate, and for MT. Debs, the socialist candidate is warning that their propaganda in favor of funda- mental changes in our constitutional representation government has formid- able support.
 While the experiment. of a change in the tariff is being carried out by the democratic administration, it behooves republicans to gather again to the party standard and pledge anew their faith in their principles and to organize again to defend the constitutional govern ment handed down to us by our fathers We must make clear to the young men of the country who have been weaned away from sound principles of govern ment by promise of reforms, impossible of accomplishment, by mere legislation that patriotism and common sense re- auire them to return to a support Of our legislation. Without compromising our principles we must convince and win back former republicans and we must reinforce our ranks wl..- consti- tion loving democrats.
 We favor every step of progress to- ward more perfect equality of oppor- tunity and the riding society of in , lxpp all gress worth making is possible witt our present form of government and that to sacrifice that which is of tho highest value in our governments structure for undefined and impossible reforms is the widest folly We must fact the danger with a clean knowledge of what it is. The republican party Is equal to the task It has had no noblel cause. Let us close ranks and marcl the true"
 Taft Congratulates Victor

The crowd that watched The Age- Herald. election bulletins in front of The Age-Herald building last night was one of the largest ever gathered In Birmingham on similar occasion.

 A feature of the evening was the greetings which almost every bulletin received. In the crowd there were Wilson men, Taft men, Roosevelt mcn, and Debs men, and any bulletin that showed one or tho other of the can didates in the lead was received with cheers. Interspersed with the bulletins the cartoons of Blackman kept ev- erybody in a good humor. The whole crowd was plainly out for a good time and without a doubt they had it.
 Of course, by far the larger portion of the crowd was for Wilson. and the first bulletins announcing the gains of the governor were received with much delight From the very first news that come in about 4 o'clock announcing that one or two precincts In Massa-

NEW FIELD OPENED FOR MISSION WORK Northern Africa Made Ac- cessible by End of Turk0-
 Italian War

New York, November 5.-(speeial.)-- Christian people, interested in foreign mission fields, will soon have a wholly new field to study and give to. Being much nearer it may rival in popular in- terest the long familiar China, Japan and India. This new field is northern Africa, and it comes into being because of the signing of the treaty of peace between Italy and Turkey, and in some measure because of new political relations be- tween France and Morocco. Italy comes out of her 12 months of war with much higher rank in the list of world nations, able to command a new place and power in the triple alliance if she enter again into it, and minded to introduce into a vast area of northern Africa a Christian civilization.
 France has long controlled Algeria, and taking advantage of that fact American Methodists have entered the city of AL glers. and have made plans to extend into the interior. They have made some plans also for Tunis Under it's new re- lations with Morocco France is able to enforce religious liberty, Now Italy tdhto tOulTOl UT tlle tillift ItIlidiulflS lti = ritory eastward to the Egypt line. That country. under England. no matter what it's nominal relations with Turkey may be, is rapidly coming under Christian missionary influence. The new alignment is expected to have marked influence upon the Soudan, and to give Christians there a new advantage in the race to convert the 100000,000 natives before Islam claims them.
 This religion of northern Africa, rich in historical associations, and also rich in material wealth, is now to be entered by Catholics and Protestants Catholics from Italy are planning extension work there and they will be assisted by the Catholics of France and Spain, and to some extent of the United States. En- glish societies are entering Algeria, and several American societies, besides the Methodists, are considering the new mis- sion field. There are 1s.oo,ooo people. and the territory, if properly cultivated and manufactures introduced, will support three to five times as many. The initial conferences by American societies bring out the fact that new comity will ob- tain in this new and vast field.

Their Uneeasing Work Keeps Us

AN the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They. work night and day. When

the bloed. This brings on many diseases
