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
IstratlVe Ability Commend Him TO
the Voters OF the 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-
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
It's overwhelming Endorsement. In the
hands sf the president more than of
any other one man has lain the per.
foTmance OF those pledges And II
they have been met, then to him must
80 the lions share Of the credit
The platform promised tariff re-
vision at special session of congress
Immediately following the Inaugural
ton 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
it converted a deficit OF fifty millions
into a surplus of thirty millions. It
contained maximum and minimum
provision under which for the first
time the United States has been able
to obtain entrance for it's products In
to foreign markets upon as favorahie
terms as the products of any other
nation. It provided a 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
a most wholesome effect. II provided
tariff board which, IL permitted to
continue, would bring the possibility
of informed, impartial scientific tariff
revision. The Payne law was a full
fillment In good faith of the platform
pledge and 1t has been a boon, not
bane, to the country.
The platform called attention to the
need of more elastic and adaptable
monetary system and promised to
work out that problem. The monetary
commission has made fits report In
fuifllment OF that pledge
The platform promised to establish
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 faithfuIness 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
eminent has practically complete con
troll over our great transportation sys-
tems--a control which has been exer-
cised so wisely that while the rights

Rural Mai carrler. HeIned

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-an increase whicf
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
% miles in length, are increased from
81 900 to $1,100 year. with proper
tionate increases for rural carriers on
shorter routes. Sixteen years ago the
rural mail carriers were paid 5000 a
year. This year they receive s1,100
Thus the Republican party and Presi
dent Taft help the faithful men who
deliver mail upon rural rousas

WIRELESS IN CONGO STATE
Ing 1850 Miles With Transmit
ting Stations Along Route.

1t appears from a note In the col
umns Of the Electrical Review that a
system of wireless telegraphy is to be
carried out in the Congo state, follow
ing the course OF the Congo up to the
Katanga district for a distance of
1850 miles; transmitting stations
are to be erected in all the principal
places. The apparatus of the Radio
Electrique as used in the French pos
sessions will be employed In the
neighborhood of the French colonies.
while the usual apparatus of the Tele-
funken Gessellschaft will be used in
the vicinity Of the German colonies.
1t is proposed to endeavor to reach an
understanding with France and Ger
many with regard to the wave length.
in order to bring the whole system
into agreement. Telefunken stations
are to be established at Tabora and
Udjidji, in German East Africa. and
French stations are to be erected at
Loango and Brazzaville. II will
therefore be possible to telegraph
through the whole of the African
continent from the port of Dar-es-Sal-
am and thus obtain a connection with
Europe through cable on the west
coast.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
A ROMAN TRIBUTE TO LIN.
COLIN.
BY A. w. MACY.

About a year after tho death
OF President Lincoln there was
found In the basement Of the
White House a large stone with
an Inscription, In italian, OF
which thlo 10 a translation: "To
Abraham Lincoln, President for
tho second time Of tho Amerl-
can Republic, citizens of Rome
present this stone, from the
wall Of servlus TuIlIus, by
which tho memory Of each OF
those brave assertors Of liberty
may be associated" No one
about the White House know
anything about the stone, or
had ever heard Of IL. No ono
remembered having heard LIN
coin speak of 1t. II seems that
after his reelection these Ro-
man patriots, wishing to show
their admiration Of his charac-
ter and their appreciation of his
work, took this stone from the
wall Of the wise and Just old
Roman emperor, had the in
seription placed upon II, and
sent II to him as a testimonial.
II ls believed that In order to
avoid notorlety, and in keeping
with his modest nature, he
quietly placed the stone in the
basement and said nothing
about IL to any one. 1t may
now be seen in the custodian's
room Of the Lincoln monument
at Springfield, where Il was
placed by direction Of congress.
