o. S. U. Registration.

All previous registration figures
were exceeded at Ohio State uni
veisity, when students from all
sections of the state and country
and other nations elbowed and crowd
ed each other to be enrolled. The
registration In all courses was 2,4O7,
an increase of 200 over the first day
last year and 500 more than the frat
day in 1910.
The greatest rush was in the agri'
cultural college, which has grown to
be one Of the most popular courses.
It's registration for the first day was
81s, an increase of 1874 over the first
day last year and only 100 short OF the
total registration in the regular agri'
cultural courses for the entire yearn.
Including the six weeks term last win.
ter, the total registration in the agri.
cultural college last year was 1,217.
1t is expected that the enrolment in
the agricultural courses this year, ex'
elusive Of the short term, will reach
almost LOO, and that, including the
six weeks course, the total will ex
ceed 1900.
The total registration for all depart
ments last year, not including the sum
mer school term, was 3,19S. Including

of the people have been carefully
safeguarded, the business Of the rail-
roads has not been unnecessarily dis
turbed.
The platform promised to promote
the welfare Of the railroad employees
by proper legislation for their safety
and by the enactment of an employees
liability law that should be within
the requirements Of the constitution
as pointed out by the supreme court.
The pledge was promptly fulfilled and
a law Is now imbedded in the statutes
doing away with the old rule of con.
tributory negligence. A step beyond
the platform promise has been taken
| through the enactment of benefcent
laws touching the use of safety ap
pliances on railroads which look to
the protection of their employees from
every avoidable accident.
The platform promised a child la
Dor law for the District of Columbia
! that should serve as a model for the
states. Such law has been passed.
The platform promised the estab-
lishment of a mining bureau. That
has been done and the life of every
miner in the United States is less ex-
posed to danger because of the great
work this bureau is doing.
The platform promised to maintain
the efficiency of the army and navy.
That has been done.
The platform promised to follow up
the conservation policy upon which
the Roosevelt administration had en-.
| tered. That has been done by the
passage of laws which will make i'm.
possible the exploitation or monopoli-
zation of the mineral wealth of the
public domain.
The platform promised that the best
of efforts would be made to extend
the foreign commerce of the United
States. For the first time, our ex
ports last year passed the two billion
dollar mark.
The platform promised statehood tc
New Mexico and Arizona. Their stars
are on the flag.
In a word, with few exceptions o
minor Importance, every pledge giver
to the people of the United States by
the Republican party in its platform
of 1908 has been written into law.
Nor do these accomplishments O
the Taft administration make any ref
erence to those achievements which

achievements of the president him

which our diplomacy has met thu

HE HAS MADE GOOD.
TAFT HAS REDEEMED PLEDGES
MADE BY REPUBLICAN PARTY
TO THE PEOPLE.
WHAT HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED
Presidents Effective Work, His High
Character and His Great Admin
istratIve Ability Commend Him to
the Voters of tho United States.

In the language of the times, Presi-
dent Taft has made good.
The fact can be demonstrated first
OF all by taking up one by one the
pledges of the platform of the conven-
tion which first nominated Mr.. Taft
and observing whether or not they
have been fulfilled. 1t was upon the
pledges of that platform that certain
definite results would be accomplished,
that the Republican party went be-
fore the country in 1908 and received
its overwhelming Endorsement. In the
hands of the president more than of
any other one man has lain the per.
fo1mance of those pledges. And If
they have been met, then to him must
20 the lions share of the credit.
The platform promised tariff re-
vision at a special session of congress
Immediately following the Inaugural
tion of the president That pledge
was kept. The tariff was revised as
promised. in the interest of the peo-
pie That revision did not close a
single American factory or reduce the
wages of any American workingman,
and in the first year of its operation
1t converted a deficit of fifty millions
into a surplus of thirty millions. 1t
contained maximum and minimum
provision under which for the first
time the United States has been able
to obtain entrance for its products in
terms as the products of any other
nation. 1t provided corporation tax
which has brought twenty-five, mil
lions of dollars a year into the treas
ury. besides compelling a degree OF
corporation publicity which has had
most wholesome effect, 1t provided
tariff board which, If permitted to
continue, would bring the possibility
of informed. impartial, scientific tariff
fillment in good faith of the platform
pledge and it has been boon, not q
bane, to the country.
The platform called attention to the
need of a more elastic and adaptable
monetary system and promised tt
work out that problem. The monetary
commission has made it's report II
fulfillment of that pledge.
The platform promised to establish
system of postal. savings banks
That promise was fulfilled,
The platform promised an effectiv,
enforcement of the Sherman act. TIL,
columns of the daily papers for tn,
past two years have borne ample tes
timony to the faithfulness with whicl
that promise has been kept.
The platform promised certain
amendments to the interstate com
merce law. That &romise was KEEP
by the enactment of the commerc
court statutes, broadening the powe
of the interstate commerce commits
sion to such an extent that the gov
eminent has practically complete cor
troll over our great transportation syf

cised so wisely that while the right

certified the result to the governor. BY

sort Is likely. Atty. Gen. Hogan has

TAFT DIFFERS WITH
 COLONEL ROOSEVELT
Land of Forestry Service Transferred Back to Department of the
 Interior

Washington February 15.-Doubt as to the legality of an executive order signed bv Theodore Roosevelt two days before he left the White House has caused the transfer back from the forest service to the department of the interior of more than 250o, 900 acres of Indian forest land in California. New Mexico and Arizona. President Taft, 1t is thought, will sign the executive order reversing the action of his predecessor.
 A dispute having arisen before the forest service and the Indian bureau as to whether profits from timber sales on In- dian lands, which President Roosevelt s order had made part of the national for ests, should go to the Indians or to the forest service, the question was reIerren to Attorney General Wckersham. He de- cided in favor of the Indians and in his opinion suggested that MT Roosevelt s order had not been legal.
 The forest service showed because of it's expense in handling the Indian forests and in arranging sales of timber, that it was entitled to the profits. The Indian budian bureau held that the Indians should have the money.
 The timber on the land is worth. it is estimated between si5.o0o0oa and s25, ,o00,e~ The lands are parts of the MescaIe,o Apache, Jicarilla Apache, Zuni and Navajo Indian reservations In New Mexico; of the White mountain Indian reservations in Arizona and of the Tule and Iloopa val lev Indian reservations in California.
 No actual timber sales were made on any of this land while 1t was under the administration of the forest service. 4 large sale which was in process of Ge- gotiation raised the question as to tle forest services rights.
