sreased No American industry has workman has been thrown out of em- ployment by reason of its enactment. Believing that the schedules might be still further revised, President Taft created the tariff board, an organiza- tion of experts, who dealt with the tariff problem from business point of view and who suggested further changes. The Democratic house of representatives ignored these we'll considered recommendation and also legislated the tariff board out of ex- istence. The tariff bills vetoed by President Taft were framed by a com mittee of fourteen Democrats, eleven of whom are lawyers and the other three have had no business experi- ence.
 President Taft has enforced the em. ployer's liability act and approved the extension of it's provisions so that em- ployes of railroad carriers may bring suits in any district in which the de- fendant was doing business at the time of the commencement of the action.
 These are few-and only few of the great achievements of Pest dent Taft's administration. It | a record unequalled by any president, and the work has all been done with out fglorification and in a modest and effective way.

ROOSEVELT WRONG AGAIN
Makes Another Statement Which ls
 Absolutely False.

Colonel Roosevelt really has great many things to his credit, and this makes it all the more strange that he should insist upon claiming credit to which he has no shadow of title.
 There is the pure food law for ex- ample. It is notorious that this was one of the measures in which he has but little interest It is doubtful if he ever so much as mentioned the sub ject to any member of congress while the bill was pending. and it is entirely certain that it would have passed, even if he had actively opposed it., so nearly unanimous was the sentiment in congress in favor of 1t. And yet in recent letter to a man in Kansas Colonel Roosevelt said that "the pure food and drug bill became law pure. ly because of the very active part l took in getting it through congress" !" and adding that after gentlemen such as Mir. Wiley had vainly urged the bill he used men like Mir. Garfield, then secretary of the interior, and got f through.
 But the truth is that Mr. Garfield was not appointed secretary Of the h. terior until six months after the bill was passed!
 If it were somebody else who had set up so wholly unfounded claim and had made so manifest misstate- ment in connection with it, can you not imagine how promptly the Colonel culd have nominated him for mem bership in his famous club?
