W. H. TAFT'S CHANCES.
W. H. Taft has a very, fair show of
being nominated for the Presidency.
The machinery of the present Admin
istration is being exerted in an un
precedented manner in his interest
Recipients of federal positions must
be in line the Senator or Congress
man who presses the claim of an ap
- plicant for an appointment has no
hearing unless the claimant and also
his friendly representative are willing
and prepared to take program. The
exalted position of Chief Executive of
a great nation has perhaps never be
fore been made a factor in ward poli
tics. With millions at its disposal in
the way of patronage and an evident
willingness to use all means at its
command, there Is little reason why
the present Administration should not
be able to at least name the man who
is to be the figure-head in the coming
Administration provided the party at
present in power should continue its
domination.
But it is a more doubtful proposition
If the power that can dominate a Re
publican convention can also control
the vote of the electors. While the
chiefs of the Republican party may
consent to an administration mad
leader, they will certainly have a
hard time lining up the rank and file
of the party for the purpose of taking
the "dope" already mixed for it. Some
of the Inquisitive will want to know
what Taft has ever done of bis own
initiative. If he has ever held a pub
lic position that came in any other
manner than by appointment. If he
has ever done anything or 3aid any-
thing that thd people might judge
what there is to him. Yet it must be
conceded that the Administration ma
chinery may be so well organized that
each administration will hereafter
name Its own successor. We will
know soon whether the candidate for
the Presidency is to be selected in
Washington or whether the National
convention is to have a voice in the
matter.
There is also one condition that
might make W. H. Taft President
conceding him the Republican nomina
tion. Under ordinary circumstances
the people would not consent to the
President s naming his successor in
office. They would express their disap
proval at the polls and "safe" States
would get out of line. But an American-Japanese
war at an opportune
time might make the election of W. H
Taft possible. Very threatening war
clouds might even make it possible.
For in war times people hesitate to
make changes in management. But to
be elected even after nomination, the
fat Secretary of War will have to
strike this characteristic chord of the
American people, There must be war
in progress or immediately threaten
ing. All considered, there Is little
probability that Mr. Taft, who is public
life has been but an underling, always
subservient to a higher power's beck
and call, will become the pliant exec
utive of a people that demand nerve
and stamina in the man at the head
of the Nation.
and self-respect to avoid the penalty.
As a general proposition we wish
to weigh our fellow man fairly. It is
worth while to turn the eye of Intro-
sDection on ourselves occasionally an
these occurrences within our actual
experiences show us how inequitably
we often Judge others. When we con
sider it all, we feel a half inclination
to admire the man who declined to
shift to others the physical suffering
and humiliation that the law declared
to be the penalty for his offense.
LABOR UNION DECISION.
HENRY MELDRUM.
Very 'many people draw a peculiar
line between vice and virtue, between
crime and respectability. Vlsclous hab
its are not recognized as such so long
as the offending parties hold their
heads high, spend money lavishly, live
in fashionable hotels and dress in Par
isian fashion. It is the lmmorallst of
the Bowery, of the deml-world that
calls down the wrath of the police
Judge, Though one Is not In the least
bettor than the other, the one has ad
mittance to the fashionable home
and Is splendidly entertained by the
hostess who gathers hor skirts close
to her when buo passes the other on
the street. Such is the Inconsistency
of humanity.
Tho criminal Is not the one who
breaks the law of God and man he is
the one who gets caught at it. Not
only this, ho must be confined behind
prison bars. The enormity of the
offense often lies in getting into prison.
The rascal who can by some chance
keep out may still "travel" In polite
society.
This being the way of tho world
Henry Meldrum neod hardly expect a
. Just verdict from those among whom
he has lived a lifetime. Yet history
will scarcely attempt to chronicle de
tails of the offense for which he was
deprived of his liberty. Ho undoubt
edly committed a tochnlcnl infraction
of the law. He attempted nothing aud
did nothing of personal benefit to him
self, but broke the letter and not the
spirit of the law. Meldrum refused to
purchase Immunity by lending his ai
to the prosecution In an attempt to
fasten criminal charges on those high
er up In public life thnn he. He stood
his trial and "took his medicine."
Which shall claim the higher regard
of his follow man, Henry Meldrum or
the moral cowards like Puter, Zachary,
Hendricks, Stolwer and a score of oth
era who saved themselves by turning
against their accomplices in crime?
This Is not excusing Meldrum. He
has erred and has paid an extreme pen
alty. Others committed crime for per
sonal gain and then surrendered pride
Labor lost a long-drawn-out fight in
a decision of the Supreme Court this
week. It was a case that dates clear
back to the Chicago railroad troubles
of 1898. The case was that of William
Adair, master mechanic of the Louis
ville & Nashville road, who had threat
ened to discharge an engineer because
he belonged to a labor union. This
was in contravention of the Erdmann
act, that prohibited railroads engaged
in interstate commerce from dlscnarg
ing employess becauset hey belonged
to labor unions. The Supreme Court
holds that the law is unconstitutional
Justice Harlan delivered the opinion
and said that so long as there was no
contract and no time limit set to the
employment of the man, Congress had
no more right to pass a law preventing
his discharge than it had to pass a law
preventing him from quitting his em
ployment. It was a rule, the court
said, that would have to work both
ways.. If there is a contract between
the employer and the employee, it
must be respected by both of them
But when there Is no contract, there is
nothing to prevent the employee from
quitting if he wishes and similarly
there la nothing to prevent the railroad
from discharging him without giving
any reason for the act Justice Har
lan said If the right of Congress to
pass such a law were allowed, there
would be nothing to prevent Congress
passing a law making it a crime for
the railroads to employ any but union
men, and this would be absurd on the
race of it. justices AicK.enna ana
Holmes dissented from this opinion
Justice McKenna saying that the de
cision of the court was along very
narrow lines. Justice Holmes said
that the right to make contracts had
been stretched to the limit by the de
cision and intimated that Congress had
the right to legislate so as to encour
age the formation of labor unions.
BRYAN'8 HOLD ON THE PEOPLE.
Mr. Bryan delivered an address at
Birmingham, Alabama, not long ago,
his subject being "The Signs of the
Times," of which the Birmingham
ge-Herald says:
"His address was a model of gooJ
rhetoric and good Ennglish. Every
vord went to its place with proper
weight and emphasis. There was no
redundancy, no inadequacy of expres
sion. It was acceptable to all, regard
less of their political views or their
notions of society. He declared him
self an optimist, because all the na
tions are striving to secure intellec
tual development, political betterment
and the growth of moral truth. .
No matter what the result of the No
vember election may be, William Jen-
nines Bryan can not be robbed of his
personal following, a following larger
than Henry Clay or James G. Blaine
ever had, a popular following that In
taylng qualities at any rate has never
been equalled in this country. That
personal Influence will endure what
ever the ballots say In November sim
ply because the plain people of this
country have the fullest confidence in
Mr. Bryan's courage, capacity and
sincerity."
That Bryan has a larger personal
following of people who- believe In him
as an Ideal man than Clay or Blame,
Is, If true a remarkable fact, for aside
from two terms in Congress he never
held any public office. Nor is he a
mere frothy spouter of words. As the
Age-Herald remarks, he uses good
English, he knows what words mean
he uses them to express ideas 01 in
rest and importance, and his speech
always bIiows that he has thought, and
not superficially, along right lines,
Like Clay and Blalno, Bryan may
never become President, but, though
vastly Inferior to them as a politician,
ho is as much superior to them In hon
est, straightforward sincerity of speech
and purpose, and has undoubtedly the
greatest "personal following" of any
American today, perhaps excepting

An Article Taken From the Charleston
News.
SteDhen Carter was a close friend
of Lincoln in the days when that im
mortal American was just entering
his public career. Among the stor
ies he often related of "Uncle Abe's"
early life was that of the candidate
for a county office securing Lincoln's
support for his election. Lincoln, he
said, never entered politics he was
always in. From his very young man
hood, whether the contest was ior tne
highest office in the state or for di
rector of the district school, this po
litical genius had his preference and
took an active Interest in the game.
The candidate in question wanted
to be nominated County Assessor.
Lincoln told him that he was inclined
to favor his rival and gave as a reason
the fact that this claimant was then
serving his second term in the office
and that it was good enough to be
passed around.
"Well, then," said the persistent
candidate, "I'll tell you a story." This
line of attack baffled Lincoln, for even
at that time if a story was to be told
it was generally conceded to be Abe
Lincoln's exclusive right to tell it.
t'Go ahead," he said; an dthe candidate
related the story that fifty years ago
was an old one.
"A conductor on a New York railway
train," he said, "came under suspicion
of the management. Conductors' sal
aries In those times were small and
thnnirh this man had entered the ser
vice of the company a few years be

The superintendent of the passenger
department went down to the town

or. He learned, on inquiry, mm mo

riage and equipment that passed down
the Btreet was that of the conductor;
that the tenants, of the finest brick
block on the busiest coiner in town
nab! their rentals to the conductor.
Finally lie made certain that this fru
gal conductor had had no source of
income aside from his salary. At night
he looked up the thrifty employee and
told him that the company no longer
had anv need of his services. The
trusted employee naturally wanted an
explanation, which was promptly
forthcoming. The company, he was
informed, endeavored to keep its em
ployees of such marked financial abil
ity as he had shown, In departments

profession. No straining of medical ethics can find any fault with it. THE
PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated in the
label on the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna
have a true justification, '
The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of
Peruna affairs in the future, is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and
sell our product TO THE PEOPLE.
If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only,
then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna as being
entirely within their approval.
BUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS. " .
We shall continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue to
convey to the people our claims for Peruna as a household remedy. We shall
continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to use

of benefit to the home. We shall continue to do this, whether the medical
profession like it or not
We are proposing from this time on to take the publio into our confidence.
Notwithstanding that some imitators and substitutes will be attempting to
put up something which they consider just as good as Peruna, we are going to
draw aside the veil of secrecy and allow any one who chooses to know exactly
OE WHAT PERUNA IS COMPOSED.
This ought to disarm all honest criticism. We expect, however, that crit

success of Peruna will continue to nna

good showy bed may also be made by
planting a group or cluster of cannas
In the ceuter of the bed and the scarlet
sage around It How a bed of this kind
does brighten up the lawn and the
wlfole premises!
Local flower and seed stores usually
keep potted plants of the scarlet sage
on sale, but it is much cheaper to raise
them, and for a showy bed or border
we always want at least several dozens
of them, for which the dealer would
ask more than we might possibly feel
able to pay out "Just for show." If we
nave a surplus, however, some neigh
bor or townsmen will take them at a
fair price; ot least that is my experi
ence, says a writer in Farm and Fire
side.

luted to one part to fifteen of water
proves qulto effective and. If properly
made, can be applled,even to the small
twigs without fear 'of leaf injury.
