WILSON AND LABOR
Contrast the sIurrlng Remarks of the
Academician and Theorist with
President Tafts Views Based on
Actual Experience.

Efforts on the part of Candidate
Wilson and his managers to placate
labor do not seem to be meeting with
much success. The candidates real
opinion of labor is too well known to
cause laboring men to grow wildly
enthusiastic over him.
In baccalaureate address to the
graduating class at Princeton on
June 10, 1909, DR.. Wilson said:
you know what the usual standard
of the employee is in our day. 1t is
to give as little as he may for his
wages. Labor is standardized by the
trades unions, and this is the stand
ard to which it is made to conform.
No one is suffered to do more than
the average workman can do. In
some trades and handicrafts no one
is suffered to do more than the least
skillful of his fellows can do within
the hours allotted to days labor,
and no one may work out of hours at
all or volunteer anything beyond the
minimum. / need not point out how
economically disastrous such a regu-
lation of labor is. 1t is so improbable
to the employer that in some trades it
will presently not be worth while to
attempt anything at all. He had bet
ter stop altogether than operate at an
inevitable and invariable loss. The
labor of America is rapidly becoming
improbable under it's present regula-
ton by those who have determined
to reduce it to a minimum Our eco
nomic supremacy may be lost because
the country grows more and more full
of improbable servants"
Contrast the statement of Candidate
Wilson with thr following statement
made by President Taft in a speech
at Cooper Union, New York:
"The effect of the organization of
labor, on the whole, has been highly
beneficial in securing better terms of
employment for the whole laboring
community | have not
the slightest doubt, and no one who
knows anything about the subject can
doubt, that the existence of labor
unions steadies wages"
Candidate Wilson was talking as an
academician and theorist, with char
acteristic lack of exact knowledge
President Taft was talking out of act
ual experience and knowledge gained
from primary sources. The contrast
in the statements emphasizes the con-
trast in the men.

commonly regarded az the barometer

commonly regarded as the barometer
of business, is driven far ahead for
steel rails. Other industries are equal
~ active, and altogether natiopal con-
tons and prospects were never SO
prosperous and promising, provided
the American people decide to apply
to their political choice the same good
judgment and prudent foresight which
they apply, as a rule, to their per
sonal affairs.
"As we come nearer the day Of cleo
tion," says Mr.. Taft, at lie to be ex-
pected that the Intelligent voter will
appreciate more keenly the RESPONSE
biIity which attaches to his ballot. In
national elections, at least, the great
majority like to feel that they are vot-
ing for candidate who has chance
of success. IL is obvious that either
the Republican or the Democratic
nominees will be elected, and not to
vote for the Republican candidates is,
In effect, to support their Democratic
opponents and the Democratic plat
form Of q tariff for revenue only
freiQhted with dire consequences for
the country, now busy and prosperous
under Republican rule. II Is we'll
known to every one, an open secret on
every street corner, that the Third
Term party does not expect success"
The President continues:
"a special correspondent of The
New York Evening Post writing from
Chicago, says: 1t may be said that
neither Colonel Roosevelt nor any of
the experienced politicians who sur
round him expects to carry Illinois or
any other important state, with the
possible exception of California and
Kansas. From sources close to the
candidate it is learned that Colonel
Roosevelt will be satisfied if he can
complete the decentralization of the
Republican party
1T remains to be seen how many
Republicans are willing to assist in
completing the Generalization of the
Republican party and handing the
reins of government over to the Demo
Gratis to crafty mere desire for re-
