WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.

For thirty years MIR, Taft has been
before the American people as pub
lie servant. The breath of scandal
has never touched him In all this
time, He has successfully handled
some of the most tangled diplomatic
situations that ever came before the
American government At ali times
he has been inhexibly LOYAL 10 high
convictions of duty.
1t is hard TO estimate the value OF
all this experience to the people whom
q President serves. II takes more
than windy proclamations and sting
ing messages to get good legislation
accomplished. A man needs Just the
training and experience which Presi-
dent Taft has so richly.
The great case before the American
people is about to go 10 the jury. Their
minds are made up Little that can
be said now can change them Yet i
any voters are left who are still hes
itating. let them look at the white
record and sincere heart OF President
Taft as one sure rock 10 build on

LABOR FARES suMPTuoUsLY.

The workingman, whether artisan
or common laborer. is receiving his
fair share Of the country's wonderful
and abundant prosperity. and not all
of it goes 10 the moneyed man or the
millionaire
The workingman never before Jared
So well as today. Wages are the
highest ever in this country The
amount of work to be done exceeds
the number of workers available
Cries for more laborers come from q
dozen industries, asking for thous'
ands OF additional men, and even with
the higher wages offered, the supply
of labor does not meet the demand.
All this is due TO Republican pros
perity. This country has been on q
rising tide OF business activity since
1898, and each year since the advent
| of prosperity under President McKin
ley to the first term of President
Taft's administration, wages havs
been going up constantly, work ha'
/ been more than steady and plenty

kind of work they wanted TO perform
| On the other hand, others. by -ht
hundreds of thousands, who had fair
lly good places and wages, have bet
tered themselves by going into an
other or a new calling. thereby en-
abling them to receive more wages

sites. and many of the Injuries o

Within the past ten or twelve years
manufacturing plants, mills and fac
tories, together with thousands OF new
industries, have been established al

HAVE YOU THOUGHT II OVER?

Tuesday, November 8, is election
day. II is nearly here. And when il
is over. the question as 10 whether
the Republican or the Democratic
party is to govern this country will be
settled for four years.
Hasn't the Republican party treated
you pretty well? Haven't sou found
it reasonably easy to make a living
these past four years. Can you see
any way the Democratic party can
make it easier? And might it moi
make 1t lot harders
There has been lot of talk in this
campaign about bosses and
thieves and liars and Initiatives
and referendums and things like that

that is, shall we make sure of tbs
good times we have or shall we risl

The mighty oaks from little acorns

And from that seed but yesterday
Dropped in fertile soil,
A forest vast has sprung today
To give the world its navies.
So too, but yesterday, on birchen bark
Some letters rude were carved.
Today strewed wide Ger all the

In mansion proud and humble cot,
From torrid zone to frigid cline,
The record of days events
Praclaims its message to mankind.
Swift footed Time runs on apace
And centuries are as days.
Within lowiy cottage, where.
Swung before fireplace wide
a crane held to the leaping flame
An urn from out whose metal throat
a stream of vapor issued forth.
A youth sat plunged in thought.
That was but yesterday.
Thought force develops fruit
OF mighty deeds. Today.

Across the trackless waste of waters,
In storm and sun. the mighty power

Greatest of our earth's great men
Were born of small events.
Eut yesterday that subtle power
That finds home upon
The ragged outline of summer cloud
And hurls bolt so swift and sure
To bring destruction to the stately

And now, obedient to mans Will,

And fills the world with light.

chances Of ordinary laborers are
hopeless. One labor exchange in The
month Of July had SITS laborers or
