TAFr's KEYNOTE SPEECH.

The speech delivered BY President
Taft Mt the Mckinley Day Banquet OF
the Tippecanoe Club az Cleveland. or
Monday evening, is well spoken Of a,

strongly on the tarifr question. lie an.
nounced sturdily that there is no occa.
sion for the Republicans Ia fear the
issue with their knowledge OF the prog.
ress that has been made in the last -four
years, with the adoption of progressive
principles Indicated in their Platform OF
1909. and the proposals of the admins
tration since that time.
Giving n comprehensive review Of the
events Of his administration. he referred
specifically TO the tariff, and pointed out
the mistakes that the Democrats have
made in treating Of this question. Ho
made very clear the distinction be.
tween the facts and the assumptions Of
the Democrats with respect TO tho vcr-
Diet OF the country at the election OF
1910. Tho Democrats seem TO think
that that was a reversal of ihc Amer
lean policy of protection, whereas, rs
the President pointed out. it was mere
" vote of censurc upon the Rcpub-
lican party for not honestly and intel
iiCcntly living up 10 its party pledges
made in the campaign of 1905. On
this particular point, President Taft
was on firm ground, because lie himself
had made clear TO tho country in his
speeches that The pledge of the National
Republican platform Of that year meant
that the tariff was TO be revised down
ward. And vet there was developed
here a mistake Of his own in not get
ting into the tariff fight carly enough
during the special session of 1909 TO

no chance for the boys to lose their

upon the little boys head.
"How would you like 1t If I called
you Jonathan instead of Henry?"
'Id like 1t. That's what papa al
ways calls me when l do anything
that makes him glad"
Jonathan Crabshaw's contribution to
the celebration fund made It possible
for Paddlngton to put 1t all over
Greenville in the matter of Fourth OF
July fireworks. When the old man
and his wife and their little boy got
home after witnessing the splendid
display Mr.. Crabshaw said:
Mother, never really knew before
what the Fourth Of July was for. Amt
it been glorious day all around"
Then he kissed the little boy and
after that he put an arm around his
wife and kissed her and said:

housework and get along upon the
barest necessities. He had driven his
son away from home and then blamed
him for not returning, humble and
penitent. Most of his time was spent
in his garden. 1t was the only thing
he semed to care for.
Having given his wife orders to
write that they had no place for their
grandchild, the old man took 1t for
granted that the matter was settled
and walked out of the house.
II was on the second Of July that
Jonathan Crabshaw, who was busy In
his garden, heard the hinges of the
gate squeaking. He looked up and
saw little boy who had just stepped
inside. No little boy had ever entered
there before. Jonathan Crabshaw's
garden was forbidden territory. Even
his wife was afraid to go into 1t.
The little boy stood for awhile, look
ing at the hard" old man who was
half leaning upon his hoe.
WELL" the old man asked, what do
you want here?"
81 want to come In and help you"
the little boy replied.
"Get out!"
"Are you my grandpa?"
your grandpa? What do you
mean?"
"Im Henry. Grandma told me you
was out here all alone"
Jonathan Crabshaw dropped his hoe
and began rubbing the dirt from his
hands.
"How did you get here?" he asked.
81 came all by myself on the train"
the little boy said. my papa put me
in the car and grandma was waiting
for me when l got here. My mamma
is very sick"
There was a big apple tree In one
corner of the garden, near the gate
Under it was seat which Jonathan
Crabshaw had made for himself. He
went to 1t and sat down.
Come here" he said.
The little boy went to him and
leaned upon his knee.
The old man had hard" look. but
in spite of that the little boy bore
strong resemblance to him.
so your names Henry, is it?"
"Yes. And your names grandpa,
isn't it?"
The hard" look seemed to fade out
Of Jonathan Crabshaws face

was almost a smile. that amt exactly
