PHILADELPHIA, February 13.-Presi-
dent Taft. five members of his cabinet,
two governors and score of distinguished
| men were guests last night at the fiftieth
anniversary dinner of the Union League
Club at banquet given in honor of
Abraham Lincoln.
In his speech President Taft proposed
an invitation to the progressives to return
| to the ranks of the republican party. that
the republican party might show its dis
senters that it could do. under system
of representative popular government, all
that the progressive party had claimed
might be accomplished by them under
the initiative and referendum.
Derides Referendum.
The President derided the referendum.
He preferred it to be tried in another
state than that in which he lived, if it
should be tried at ALL The cost Of the
experiment would be worth the lesson
learned, he shouted to the enthusiastic
republicans who, he commented, were
with him and with Abraham Lincoln.
No Ideal Too High for Republicans.
II simply differ cried the President,
mark on every nostrum that claims that
human nature is different than what we
know it to be- There is no ideal too
high for the republican party to strive
for. We will not experiment with things
the value of which has not been demon
strated.
THE republican government has proved
its strength. 1t has proved the perma-
hence and force of popular government.
Shall we throw this away and revert to
the days that cost SO much effort and SO
many Eves?'
Loud cries of ono! no." echoed
through the great hall.
Obviously. in the earlier part of his
speech, he was referring to Col Roose
welt when he remarked that he knew
men who were strong and straightfor
ward in everything but in mind. This
statement was made in connection with
his remark that Lincoln had been equally
strong In all these qualities.

A ONE-SIDED CONTRACT.
In four lnstallments. DAv Nn Q

One of the most one- sided contracts in the world Is that under which a retailer buys his coal The following are copied from the D X H. Circular and should be refully read
 CONDITIONS OF SALE.
 "Terms. Cash In current funds on or before the 18th of the next month after shipment, or subject to sight draft.
 Prices of coal will be the rates as fixed by notice from time to time, and will be charged at rates of such notice at time oi shipment regardless of dates of orders.
 'If at any time the operations of the company mining the coal are interrupted by strikes, etc |, or any other cause be yond our control, the obligations of this company to deliver coal under It's con- tract or agreement may. at its option, be cancelled, and no liabilities shall accrue to us for damageI.
 All coal will be weighed by competent welghers at the time of shipment, and no claims will be allowed for short weight Coal shall be settled for whet her 1t has arrived at Is destination or not"
 Perish forever the commonly held idea that a retailer can make & contract for his years supply in ths spring, and get 1t delivered at that price any time during the year. Regardless of date of order, coal Is billed at price urrent when 1t Is shipped And not only that but the or der can be filled or cancelled at any time at the option of the Company. The most prejudiced must admit ths 1t Is an unfair arrangement, but there Is no getting away from 1t. Yet many consumers get Ny .ru ornuahv if wa dept lima in StOra thair coal for them alt summer for nothing.
