north side section will also profit by
the location and construction of the
branch hospital below the city. After
that institution gets underway it will
employ several scores of officials and
attendants. Many of those people
will doubtless want to establish homes
here and the north side will be the
logical place for them to live, so they
may be as close as possible to their
work. Those who own property on
the north side stand in line to gain
materially from the establishment of
the hospital and they profit every
day by having the bridge. They

The mother cannot do better for

Chronic constipation in later life can

when the little one will become con-

on revenue" but as we are more ac-
cusomed in this country to levying
taxes on capital values than on reve-

We used to run a COW ranch,

But all our ancient glories
In recent years have went;
We're takin' summer boarders,
And putin it quite rude,
It's now the cowboys province
To herd the festive dude.
We used to run an outfit,
The greatest in the west;
Our cowboys We're the wonders
Our roundups were the best;
The punchers still are with us,
But now they merely guide
The tenderfoot from Boston
Who's learning how to ride.
We used to brand our cattle
And ship 'em wide and far;
But now we import humans
From off the Pullman car:

And tied and branded, too;
And the cowboys readin' -Ibsen

In his speech of acceptance yesterday
President Taft made an address typi-
cal of the man. He
\ Well satisfied is a calm minded
Man Who sees judge who is very
Nothing Wrong. well satisfied with
the treatment the
world has given him and he sees no
reason why others should complain.
Here is a selection from his accept
ance speech.
I'm the work of arousing the peo-
pie to the dangers threatening our
civilization from the abuses of con-
centrated wealth. the public imagina-
ton was wrought upon and reign
of sensational journalism and of un-
just and unprincipled undertaking fol-
lowed, in which much injustice was
done to honest men. Demagogues
seized upon the opportunity to further
inflame the public mind and sought
to turn the peculiar conditions to
their advantage.
In the abuses of the last two de-
cades it is true that ill-gotten wealth
has been concentrated in some un-
deserving hands. If it were possible
to redistribute it on an equitable prin-
ciple to those from whom it was taken
without adequate and proper compen-
sation, it would be a good idea to
bring about But this, obviously, is
impossible and impracticable. All
that can be done is to treat this as an
evil incident to the great expansive
movement in the material progress of
the world, and to make sure there
will be no recurrence of such evils. -
From that speech it is easy to see
why the president is so lacking in
popularity and why his chances of re-
election are so poor. He is entirely
tco casual. He either has no real ap-
probation of the situation or else he
is one who believes in the rule of big
business and the exploitation of the
many for the benefit of the few.
Iu-gotten wealth has been concen-
trated in some undeserving hands!
It is a very mild statement consider
ing the situation. 1t is a mild view
of affairs when it is estimated by
careful and well informed men that
the over-capitalization in the United
States amounts to thirty billions of
dollars which means that the consum-
ing public must pay prices that Will
mean profits on that sum in addition
to profits on real valuations. 1t is
a mild view for the president to take
considering the fact that most of the
trusts with their largely fictitious
capitalizations were formed under the
kindly eyes of the last three republi-
can administrations. 1t is mild view
to take when an official Of the pres
ent administration has reported that
one single trust. the steel trust, is
over capitalized to the extent OF
s720 900. 900.
President Taft takes a mild view Of
his own responsibility and of the re-
sponsibility of his party when one
considers the fact that the protective
tariff more than anything else has
brought about this abnormal conditi-
on 1t is estimated that the tariff on
steel means forty millions year to
the steel trust. IT is tariff for special
privilege and works immense harm
upon the country at large. 1t strength
ems the trusts monopoly and enables
IL to crush out independent industries
and TO exact higher prices from the
public while giving poorer service than
formerly in return.

President Taft is also weak in de-
claring that "all that can be done is
to treat this as an evil incident to
the great expansive movement in the
material progress of the world and to
make sure there will be no recurrence
of such evils. The evil is not natural
result of the progress of the world. 1t
is most abnormal condition that has
come about and it is due to the fact
that in America the forces of privilege
have been in control of the govern
ment and have been running things
their own sweet way entirely too long.
Nor is the "evll" a thing of the
past thus making it only necessary to
guard against recurrence. 1t is
continuous evil The tariff for speci-
al privilege is right now in force
working for the direct benefit of the
trusts and working direct loss upon
the people. The thirty billions of
over capitalization still exists. The
way to relieve the situation is plain,
1t calls for taking the country COM
pletely away from the policy of
protective tariff and for cautiously
but thoroughly drawing the water out
of stocks and forcing corporations to
confine themselves to profits on the
actual value of their business. The
republican party does not call for such
work as this, it is true. The repub-
lican party has been consistently the
party of special privilege for many
years. 1t has been financed by the
forces of special privilege and has as
steadily delivered the goods Neither
will relief come from the prospective
off-shoot of the republican party, the
bull moose brigade. Col. Roosevelt,
leader of the bull moosers has always
been an advocate of a protective tar
if and the greater portion of the
trusts were formed in violation of law
while he was president. His chief
financial hackers are magnates of the
steel and harvester trusts. To place
him in the white house again would
but mean to continue the rule of
privilege.
Woodrow Wilson is the only presi-
Dental candidate who occupies ten
able ground with reference to the SUBJ
ject of i'll gotten wealth. His party is
pledged to abolish stock watering.
his party has been historically oppos-
ed to the protective principle and Will
son pledges that if elected he will work
to gradually but completely abolish
the tariff for special privilege and
supplant it with a tariff for revenue
only.
When Governor Wilson delivers his
speech of acceptance sometime this
month he will show the people there
ie hope even though President Taft
has been unable or unwilling to find
it.
