ADDITIONAL HEAVY CONTRACTS CLOSED For Steel Products As We'll As for Billets and Sheet
 Bars Last Week

New York, April 2S.-The steel mills closed additional heavy contracts for fin- ished steel products as well as for bill lets and sheet bars last week. Buying was stimulated by the prospective advance In prices now in effect. The International Harvester company was conspicuous among the largest buyers, getting large tonnages of steel bars and pig iron for shipment over the balance of the year.
 Another feature was the placing by the railroads of large contracts for motive power and rolling stock, including 74O0 cars and 143 locomotives. Contracts are still pending for S4O09 cars and 2s0 loco motives. Such orders mean that the equipment shops must place additional contracts for about 450,00, tons of steel The prospect thus Is bright for continued heavy buying and ample specifications to keep the mills operating at the present full rate for months. An unusually ac- tive summer appears assured.
 Contracts for rails were unusually small, scarcely 10000 tons being ordered, but contracts are pending for 30O,Oo0 tons. including 100000 tons for Australia, Canada and other export countries. all though only a portion of this will come to American mills. Structural contracts aggregated 1900 tons.
 Contracts placed for pig iron agaia were heavy, aggregating 261.G00 tons. in- dioating total for April little short oi 9Co,000 tons. The greatest activity was again at Chicago anl Buffalo. wher, agricultural implements. railroad equip ment and radiator manufacturers were the heaviest buyers.

Washington, April 2S-After nine hours rest at the White House, President Taft at 5:35 o'clock started back for Massachu- setts to continue his campaign for that states delegates to the republican national conv ention.
 The President will spend all tomorrow in the Bay state, starting to speak early in the morning at Taunton and winding up at Boston in time to catch a train that will bring him back to the capital again Wednesday morning.
 His advisers count on eight speeches, and it was said 8 few more may be worked in. None of the speeches were prepared when Mir. Taft left Washington. The Presidents cold which interferred mo- tiooably with his speech at Philadelphia last night, was better today.
 This is the third trip Mir. Taft has made to Massachusetts in a little more than 6 month.

Taft Goes Back to Massachusetts

On Board President Tafts Train, New ark, N. J., April 2S.-On his way north to carry the fight into Massachusetts President Taft tonight made public let ter from Robert T. Lincoln, son of Presi- dent Lincoln, in which Col. Theodore Roosevelt is criticised and condemned for what MT. Lincoln declares is perversion of the truth.
 The letter in part follows.
 "The government under which my father lived was, as it is now, a republic or representative democracy, checksd by the constitution which can be changed by the people. but only when acting by methods which compel deliberation and exclude so far as is possible the effect of passionate and short-sghted impulse. A government in which the checks of an established constitution are actually ol practically omitted-one in which the peo- pie act in a mass directly on all ques- tions and not through their chosen rep resentatives-is an unchecked democracy, form of government so full of danger as shown by history, that it has ceased to exist except in communities small and concentrated as to space.
 "As I understand it, the essence of MT. Roosevelt's proposal is that we shall adopt the latter form of government in place of the existing form. This, in simple words. is a proposed revolution. peaceful, perhaps, but a revolution. In support of these revolutionary doctrines which, if successful would abolish the form and the spirit of our existing gov ernment and surely.\I think. lead to at tempted dictatorshps, resort is had to what is claimed to be the words and teachings of President Lincoln.
 President Lincoln wrote many letters, made many public addresses and was the author of many documents. I do. not know of the existence in any of them of a work of censure or of complaint of our government He was sincerely and faithfully obedient to our constitution. He hated slavery, but his reverence fos the constitution and law was such that he said publicly again and again that if a member of Congress he would faith. ftlllv sIipport a fuoitive slave lau
