Of the people have been carefully
safeguarded. the business OF the rail-
roads has not been unnecessarily die
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
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 benef1cent
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 Ia
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 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
States. For the first time, our ex-
ports last year passed the two billion
dollar mark.
The platform promised statehood to
New Mexico and Arizona. Their stars
are on the flag.
In a word, with few exceptions OF
minor Importance. every pledge given
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 Of
the Taft administration make any ref.
erence to those achievements which
were outside the platform promises,
which are in peculiar sense the
achievements Of the president him
self-the superb tact and skill with
which our diplomacy has met the
problems of international intercourse.
the introduction of business methods
into the departments at Washington
effecting economies reaching in the
aggregate many millions of dollars
and the negotiations Of treaties with
France and Great Britain-the long
est step in the direction of world
peace that has ever been taken since
tAe world began.

Rural Mail Carriers Helped.

Each day brings to light something
President Taft has done for the wage
earners. On September 80. 1912, $4,000
rural letter carriers received an in
crease in salaries-anJ increase which
everybody admits was brought about
by the recommendation and fruitful Of
forts Of President Taft.
The compensation Of rural carriers
on standard routes, averaging about
25 miles in length. are increased from
$1,000 to $1.1oo year, with proper
tionate increases for rural carriers on
shorter routes. Sixteen years ago the
rural mail carriers were paid 5000 =
year. This year they receive $1.l00.
Thus the Republican party and Presi-
dent Taft help the faithful men who
deliver mail upon rural routes.

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
lstrative Ability Commend Him to
the Voters Of the United States.

In the language OF the times, Presi-
dent Taft has made good.
Tho fact can be demonstrated first
OF all by taking up one by one the
pledges Of the platform of the conven-
ton 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 tie per-
for nance of those pledges. and If
they have been met, then to htn must
20 the lions share Of the credit.
The platform promised tariff re-
vision at a special session Of congress
Immediately following the inaugura-
ton OF the president. That pledge
was kept. The tariff was revised, as
promised, in the interest Of the peo-
plo 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
it converted deficit OF fifty millions
into a surplus Of thirty millions. 1t
contained a maximum and minimum
provision under which for the first
time the United States has been able
to obtain entrance for its products in
to foreign markets upon as favorable
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
q most wholesome effect. 1t provided
q tariff board which, II permitted to
continue, would bring the possibility
of informed, impartial, scientific tariff
revision. The Payne law was full
fllment in good faith OF the platform
pledge and It has been boon, not a
bane, to the country.
The platform called attention to the
need of a more elastic and adaptable
monetary system and promised to
work out that problem. The monetary
commission has made its report in
fulflllment Of that pledge.
The platform promised to establish
q system of postal savings banks.
That promise was fulfilled.
The platform promised an effective
enforcement of the Sherman act. The
columns of the daily papers for the
past two years have borne ample tes-
timony to the faithfulness with which
that promise has been kept.
The platform promised certain
amendments to the interstate COM
merce law. That promise was kept
by the enactment Of the commerce
court statutes, broadening the power
of the interstate commerce commits
sion to such an extent that the gov
ernment has practically complete con-
troll over our great transportation sys-
tems-a control which has been exer-
cised 10 wisely that while the rights

ART MICROBES N YOUR scALrs
Il has Been Proved Thsk Microbes
%T Cause 0aldnOss.


Professor Unna, Of Hamburg. Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
microbe causes badness. Ihelr
theory has time and again been amply
verified thru research experiments
carried on under the observation OF
eminent scientists. This microbe lodges
in the Sebum, which is the natural
hair oil. and when permitted to flour
ish it destroys the hair follicles and in
time the pores entirely close, and the
scalp gradually takes on shiny ap-
,pearance. When this happens there is
no hope Of the growth Of hair being
revived.
We have remedy which will. we
honestly believe, remove dandruff. ex-
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in the scalp and around
the hair roots, tighten and reNitalize
the hair roots and overcome bald
ness, 30 long as there is any life left
in the hair roots.

own personal guarantee that this rem
