Victory.

Victory.
After the branch strewn highway,
After Gethsenmane.
After the hall of plate
With its woeful calumny.
After the hill OF sorrow
with it's fear and grief and gloom,
And the burial In the garden,
And the sealed and guarded tomb
Then came the dawn Of glory
Shining on victory.
For the opened grave was empty.
A prison no more to be.
And cver We keep tho Easter
With flowcru und songs OF prnise.
i'or tho lord Of ilfe to Il new glad life
The victims OF deuth will raise!

The theory that vegetables may be the

for this theory certainly seem worthy
of careful consideration, and If substan-
tiated they may require some radical
changes i'm the popular dietary and In
methods Of sewage disposal.
The danger lies, Of course, in the eat
ing Of uncOOkcd vegetables, such as Gel

cooking destroys the germs If any are
present. In some cases the germs are
simply carried on the surface, and might
be removed by thorough washing. But

MR.. rAFTs DENOMINATION.
= Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In to-day's issue W. II. Keystone
gives eight reasons why President Tart
should be renominated. Although Mr.. Tart
may possess all the good qualities therein
described. in reply may l also be permitted
to give my opinion, and with Just two rea-
sons and a little elaboration wish to con-
vince w. s. Keystone why Mr.. Taft Is not
entitled TO a denomination
First-Going back TO the platform ana
campaign OF 1908. Mr.. Taft advocated ara
promised a downward revision Of the tariff.
Second-During the same campaign also
right after his election, Mr.. Taft promised
n continuance and, as he termed II, "A
clinching" Of the Roosevelt policies
These two things alone were the legs
upon which his election stood. and II l
mistake not the people elected him TO 90
Just those two Jobs.
In tho first instance. the tariff was re-
yised. and I will leave Il TO any fair think
ing person whether this was DOWNWARD
or an upward revision.
As to the second reason: II the Roose-
welt policies were good enough 70 get and
give Mr. Taft q Presidential election In
1905. why have these same policies been
repudiated and denounced as demagog1c
I'm 1912?
After two such gigantic failures TO carry
out the promises made 10 the people now
can Mr.. Taft expect a denomination?

with the fact that It actually takes less
time 10 prevent an accident than 1t does
to report one.
The point is made by this company
that i'm the case Of twelve out Of thirteen
employees killed and Of thirty-three out
Of thirty-four employees injured the little
accidents were responsible. The striking
fact is emphasized that the sO-called big
accidents, such as collisions and derail-
ments. killed the one man and injured

has had iOI fewer reports Of persons
killed and 1896 fewer reports Of persons
injured than during the similar period
