a charge either in whole or in part
upon the industries; the suffrage
should be granted to women, if~for no
other reason, to enable workingwomen
to combine for their own protection
by the use of the ballot.
The Farmer.
'"The country life commission should
be revived with greatly increased
power; it's abandonment vas a severe
blow to our people. The welfare OF
the farmer is a basic need OF this
nation" The country school should
be brought in touch with country life.
For this reason the Progressives ap-
prove of government cooperation with
the farmer to make the farm more
productive. Cooperative ASSOCIATIONS
of farmers both for the production
and the selling of agricultural pro-
ducts should be encouraged. so long
as the farmer leaves cooperative ac-
tivities with their profit-sharing to
the city man of business so long will
the foundations of wealth be under
mined and the comforts of enlighten-
ment be impossible IN the country
communities"
The Tariff.
On the tariff he said: 81 believe in
a protective tariff, but ! believe in it
as a principle approached from a
standpoint of the interests of the
whole people, and not as a bundle of
preferences to be given favorite in
dividuals. 1t is not merely the tariff
that should be revised, but the meth
cd of tariff making and of tariff ad-
ministration. "The first steps should
be the creation of a permanent com
mission Of non-partisan experts" OF
ample powers to secure exact and
reliable information Thus commits
sion must scientifically determine
the difference in the cost of produc-
ton here and abroad" the effect on
prices t othe consumer" insure full
justice to the pay envelope of the
wage Garner.
The Currency.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that u
present bank currency based on gov
eminent bonds is unsceintific and
urged the adoption of a system which
shall provide elasticity in the credit
and currency necessary for the con-
duct of business, free from recurring
panics." The control of such a sys-
tenn should be in the hands of the
government, and must be free from
manipulation by Wall street or the
large interests"
Conservation.
Under this head Mr.. Roosevelt re-
affirmed his well known policy on the
conservation and reclamation Of ma
tional resources. We must conserve
our soil, u forests, our mines, not
only for our own benefit but for the
benefit of our children and descend
ants. 1.-THE public should not ALLEVIATE
its fee in the water power which will
be of incalculable value as a, source
of power in the immediate future
and eve should undertake the com.
plete development and control Of the
Mississippi as a national work, just
as we have undertaken the work OF
building the Panama canal"
In conclusion the colonel said:
Surely there never was a fight bet
ter worth making than the one in
which we are engaged. 1t little mat
ters what befalls any n of us who
for the time being stand in the fore
front of the battle. hope we shall
win, and | believe that if we wake
the people to what the fight really
means we shall win. But win, OF
J lose, we shall not falter."

Former President Laudsd Successor
Before New York Republicans.

Former President Lauded Successor
Before New York Republicans.
One Of the most comprehensive in
dOrsements that the Taft administers
ton has ever received was contained
in the speech OF Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt as temporary chairman Of
the New York Republican state con
ventiOn at Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. %,
1910. The first two paragraphs Of the
speech were as follows:
1--WE come here feeling that we have
the right to appeal to the people from
the standpoint alike OF national and
state achievement. During the last
eighteen months a long list OF laws
embOdying legislation most heartily to
be commended as combining wisdom
with progress have been enacted by
congress and approved by President
Taft.
"The amendments to the interstate
commerce law, beginning Of a national
legislative program for the exercise Of
the taxing power in connection with
big corporations doing an interstate
business, the appointment Of a commits
sion to frame measures that do away
with the evils of decentralization and
Of improper and excessive issues OF
stocks and bonds. the law providing
for publicity Of campaign expenses.
the establishment of the maximum and
minimum tarin provisions and the ex-
ceedingly able negotiation Of the Cana
dian and other treaties in accordance
Herewith, the Inauguration Of the poll
cy Of providing for a disinterested re-
vision Of tariff schedules through a
high class commission OF experts which
will treat each schedule purely on its
own merits with a view to protecting
the from excessive prices
and to securing the American producer
and especially the American wage
worker what win represent the differ
ence Of cost in production here as ON
pared with the cost OF production in
countries where labor is less literally
rewarded. the extension OF the laws
regulating safety appliances for the
protection Of labor and the creation OF
a bureau Of mines. These and similar
laws, backed mp by executive action,
reflect high credit upon all who sue
ceeded in putting them IN their present
shape upon the statute books. They
represent an earnest OF the achieve
ment which is yet to come, and the be-
nefcence and %farreaching importance
OF this work done for the whole people
measure the credit which IS rightly due
to the congress and to our able, up
right and distinguished president VIII

The very seedy looking young man
made his way with difficulty down the
corridor on the ninth floor of one Of
New York's best hotels, says the Pop
ular Magazine, and knocked loudly at
his friends door. Anguish was writ
ten on his face and wrinkles on his
clothes. He was a walking sign Of
what It meant to spend a hard night.
Whats the matter?" called out the
sleepy friend.
Matter? It's q tragedy, a death,
the end Of all things ~ ruination and
grief"
"WeIl, what it is?" lazily inquired
the drowsy man, without opening the
door.
Whereupon the seedy-looking young
man, leaning against the door and lift
Ing his voice to a howl, replied:
II called up my wife on the long-dis-
lance telephone last night and told
her why / had not returned. j gave
her a perfectly good excuse. And now
cant remember what It was!"

evidently drawn by men imbued with
the importance OF preserving the EN-
ployers from burdensome or unjust liza
bilities. 1t was treated as a personal
matter Of each employee, and the en-
plOyees were put on a level OF dealing
which, however It may have been in
the past, certainly creates injustice to
the employee under the present condi-
tions."
The attention Of congress to the great
injustice OF the present system was
called by President Taft. He mention
ed the fact that often the recovery OF
large sums in damage verdicts did not
result in actual benefit to the injured
person on account OF the heavy ex-
penses in litigation. The president ex-
pressed the belief that these burdens
would disappear with the enactment OF
the proposed law, since the counsel fees
are limited to a reasonable amount
AS further stated by the president,
"the great object Of the proposed law
is to secure justice to the weaker party
under existing modern conditions" He
also declared that he would use his in
duence to aid In the enactment Of the
proposed law before the adjournment
OF the present session Of congress.

Taft sure Of Manhattan.

Up to and including April 10 494 del
egates had been elected to the Repub-
lican national convention, which meets
in Chicago in June. OF these Presl-
dent Taft has 341 instructed for or
pledged to his denomination. There
remained to be elected ON that date
$50 delegates. OF these President Taft
needs only 1913 and Mr.. Roosevelt needs
400. In other words, II President Taft
gets one out Of every three delegates
remaining to be elected he win have
within four Of enough to nominate,
while Mr.. Roosevelt must have three
out Of every four Of the delegates re-
manning IN order TO secure the nominal
don. That President Taft win have
ore than 200 delegates at Chicago is a
certainty.
