FORMER PRESIDENT TAFT
AHACKSADAMSONL LAW
Says There Is Tendency in High
Quarters to Disregard Consti-
tutional Limitations.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. October =
The eight-hour law recently enacted
by Congress. was attacked by William
H. Taft last night when he addressed
thousands OF persons at the Coliseum,
discussing the development of con-
stitutional government of the state.
Mr.. Taft's speech was a part of the
county-day program in connection with
Indiana's centennial celebration, and,
while non-political in character, gave
him opportunity to find flaws in the
naming persons and parties specifi7
cally.
Traces Development.
In tracing the development from the
old northwest territorial days he
showed that through constitutional
limitations placed on the conduct of
men. society as a whole had been pro-
tected against those who would seek
to turn all things to their service or
benefit. He said that these limitations
did not restrict the liberty of men, but
that they did prevent the exercise of
license as distinguished from liberty.
Mr.. Taft declared that the law for
bids the formation of combinations for
oppression. But, he said, there has
developed in this country a tendency
in high quarters to disregard consti
tutional limitations and to overlook
certain classes of acts. provided a po-
litical advantage could be gained. He
regarded the eight-hour law as such,
and said:
This is the most noteworthy instance
of a group whose labor was necessary
that society may live refusing to per-
form it's function in the social ma
chinery."

said that the decision hardly can be
reached in less than two months time.

Work Formerly Voluntary.

The work which he did in assisting
the cadets last year was voluntary on
his part, as he was then in Washington
primarily on other business for the War
Department. He co-operated. however,
to the fullest extent with, Stephen E.
Kramer, assistant superintendent Of
schools, in charge of cadets, with the
result that when he was ordered to the
Mexican border because of the situa-
ton there Washington school officials
expressed deep regret.
Capt Steever was formerly a high
school cadet here himself. Just how
extensive his work here will be this
year will not be known, probably, until
his arrival here in November and his
subsequent conference with school
officials.

Y. M. G. A. Talks

Most men who follow sedentery en-
ployment realize the need of some kind
of exercise to keep themselves in good
physical condition for the strenuous bat
tie which must be waged for success in
all walks of life.
The task of making living in anT
profession or business is one which will
tax the constitution of the strongest.
Most mon have recognized their need.
but have not known Just how to supply
it. They do not know how to fortify
themselves against the strain which they
must endure year after year. What man
does not wish to tackle his business
problems in the morning with clear
head and vitality enough to carry him
through the day without feeling as
though he had been dragged through a
knothole.
Some men are too fat. others are too
thin. and most of them are soft They
know it, but either through Indifference
or pressure of business they go Just as
long they can keep out of the hani
OF the doctor. Some men handle their
bodies the same as they do their auto
mobiles - drive them until something
breaks. They fear apoplexy, govt and
other ills that come with obesity. but
how to prevent it-that is the problem

all these difficulties may be corrected or
