Things Holds Wordy Candidate Responsible for Prolonging War In Philip pines Many Months. PARKERSBCRG. W. Va.. Oct. 3). Taft flav in Vt Virginia has boon Uie Re publican political ovont of the present rampaifin in tiiis state. Mr. Taft tra versed its rntir l.'nirth today from Mar tin"Minr In Tarkeryburs and whenever he stopped he was tlio f.-ature of a. dimon pt rat ion. In Western Maryland the candidate stopped in a number of the smaller towns md was Riven a rousinx reception In Cumberland, whre he addressed an aildi em which packed the largest meeting place In the city. The Parkersburg meet ing tonight, however, furnished all the pectacular features belonging to a politi cal railc There was a parade represent ing political organizations from a number nf nearby towns. Including those on the Ohio side of the river. Makes Snappy Speeches. Mr. Taft's speeches were snappy today tnd he criticised Mr. Bryan's political doctrines with fire and with emphasis. The numerous speet-hes told on him. how ever, and tonight he lacked carrying Qual ity In his voice. Just before the train reached Clarksburg It slackened up at the big Phillips sheet tin mills, where were gathered several hundred men employes. On a banner made of a large sheet of tin were the words: "We have W votes for yon. Taft." and mother which road: "The Tin Plata Re publican Club Taft and Sherman stand Tor protection to all tinptate workers and all other American industries." Best Thing lie Ever Said. At Rowlesbttrc ' the candidate made the shortest labor speech he has yet at tempted. Just as lie was about to be ftin. a voice cried out: "Tell us about the injunctions." "That's just what I wart to talk about." was the quick response. "They Fay I am unfair to labor. I deny it. I handed down the decisions In railroad cases which laid down the principles on w hich the trades unions are based and which made them lawful and prosper ous." The train began to move but the same voice from the crowd was heard: "That's the best thing you've ever said." Asks Bryan for Details. At Cumberland, in discussing Mr. Itryan's proposition to curtail the pro ducts of the trusts to 50 per cent of their output the candidate remarked on the lack of detail the Xebraskan has furnished to show how such a scheme could be worked out. "To furnish the details." he said, "does not occur to an active, fanciful mind that is engaged in preparing for a campaign anil not for reforms." Again referring to Mr. Bryan in this speech he remarked, to the evident rel ish of his audience: "Some men are good for talk and criticism and oratory, and some are good for doing things." Bryan Caused Bloodshed. Mr. Taft's deep Interest In the Phil ippine question is manifested by the frequency with which he refers to the duty of this country to the islands. He said: We cannot escape the deliberate judgment that Providence thru.- thoee people n u as it Krat. wiMllhf Nation, able to bear the burden. KeiwrouH enough to carry It, altrui ti UHUKll believe thai in tbe doing- of 14 1 ait the reward that we can a?k. Uut Mr. F-yan has consistently fought ua at every turn.

COJirF-b BOTH TO OBEY LAW Taft Declares His Policy Toward Lalwr and Trusts. CUMBERLAND, Md.. Oct. 20. W. H. Taft today srtoke to an audience, which filled the theater, in response to at tacks which nave been made on his polic y toward labor. "When it takes nothing but words and wind." he declared, in asking the question as to which party ought to receive the support of the labor vote, the Democratic party has greatly the advantage, but when It comes to things accomplished and progress made, the advantage is always with the Repub-IK-sn party." Mr. Taft explained that the Washing ton administration and Congress were limited by the Judiciary In their action over labor and labor legislation to Government workmen, those engaged In interstate commerce and to workmen of the territories and of the District of Columbia. Nevertheless, he said, there had been a number of Important laws passed In the last seven years af fecting labor within the Jurisdiction and for the purpose of furnishing model laws for the states to follow. After enumerating these laws and de manding others. Mr. Taft paid his re spects to Mr. Gompers. eaylng that It was his Judgment that the American laboring man had Intelligence and Independence enough to use his own Judgment and not be "delivered" by Mr. Gompers to anyone. After reviewing at length the cases he decided while on the bench wnich have been made the sub.iect of attack upon him, Mr. Taft concluded: "I only cite them to show that when I am charged with being hostile to la bor organisations, when I am charged wtth being unfair to labor. It does tne tos Injustice. I yield to no man In my twmpatny ror tne men wno earn their livelihood by the sweat of their brow, and I would Join In any legal method to encourage them In their hard struggle upward In this life of eurs. But these combinations of labor that ought to be encouraged, that aie neces sary to enable labor to assert Its rigni in Its necessary controversy with capi tal, have an enormoua power both for good and for evil. Just exactly the same as the combinations of capital have enormous power both for rood and for evil, and no sympathy you may have with the prosperity of tne country ana the necessity for combination of capi tal nnrhi to make vou sympathize with the Illegally attempted monopoly of anltal on the one hand and no sym pathy that you have with struggling labor on She other hand ought to make you aympathlae with the labor union when It resorts 10 uniawiui irainuw. in other wards, you have got to main tain the power of the courts In order that there may be Justice administered with an even hand as to notn inese great influences in the country, so that they may be kept within the law. and you can be sure if you weaken the power of your courts both influences will attempt and enjoy illegality which they ought not to have. That is human nature, men a in alta on the bench and adminis ters law without favor because his blows happen to hit labor on the one side and capital on the other cannot be charged, if he administers the law as it exists on the facta as they are presented, wiui doing other than his duty, and if he doe, not exert the authority of his court with all his power to bring Justice, and refuses to da so because of fear of po litical influence or fear of any class, he does not deserve to be President of the United States. COUuTMsWPOWEfl SUFltEME BEXCH ISSUES AX IN"-JCXCTCOX. Krebs Bros. Restrained From Fore closing Execution on Property of T. A. JLrvestay. . SALEM, Or., Oct. 10.

LOWNEY CO., BOSTON Makers of Cocoa, Chocolate an4 Bonbons DENIES ANY GRIME Attorney Biggs, Convicted, Can't Be Debarred. SUPREME COURT DECIDES Chief Justice Bean Holds Suborna tion or Perjury Not Felony Within Meaning of De barment Statutes. SAU3M. Or.. Oct. 20. (Special.) Attor ney M. R. Biggs, of Prlneville, who was convicted of conspiracy to commit subor nation of perjury in the land fraud cases, won out today In the Supreme Court In the disbarment proceedings brought against him by the State Bar Association. The Bar Association asked to have him disbarred because he had been convicted. In sustaining a demurrer to the com plaint the Supreme Court says that the statute provides that an attorney may be removed or suspended "upon his being convicted of any felony or of a misde meanor Involving -moral turpitude, in either of which oa-ses the record of his conviction Is conclusive evidence." It is upon this section WU7. subdivision i) mat. the complainants relied. The court holds that the offense charged is not a felony nor a misdemeanor in this state within the meaning of the disbarment statute, and that defendant cannot be disbarred on account of such conviction alone. "If the crime for which he was con victed was such as to afford ground for his removal or suspension! it should be so alleged in the information and proved on the trial," says the opinion. "In such case the conviction wuuld be evidence and perhaps conclusive of his guilt, but the court -would not be precluded thereby from Inquiring whether the facts demand ed his removal or suspension, as it Is in case of a conviction for felony or misde meanor involving moral turpitude. If he is to be either removed or suspended on account of the proceedings against him In the Federal Court it must be because he was, in fact, guilty of Improper conduct, and not because of his conviction alone." Opinion by Chief Justice Bean. The demurrer in the disbarment pro ceedings against J. H. Hitchlngs was overruled and defendant given 20 days in which to answer.

Van Varicon and his wife, who conduct a hotel at Shel burn, and each of them identllled La throp and Mrs. Savage as persons who stayed at their hotel as man and wife at the time mentioned.

LAKEVIEW, Or., Oct. 20. (Special.) In Lake County the political vote is divided between the Republican and Democratic parties. Socialists. Inde pendents and Prohibitionists will mus ter but few votes in the comins Presi dential election. Registration indicates that there are two Republicans to one Democrat In Lake County, but the vote last Spring proves conclusively that the registration does not correctly repre sent the vote. It Is perhaps correct to say that the normal Republican majority Is about 175. It Is conceded that Taft and Sher man will receive this normal majority, and many claim even a greater vote for the Republican ticket. Wool is one of the chief products of Lake, and the memories of the low prices received for this staple during the last Cleve land administration are fresh in the mind of the people. Many men who register as Democrats, but who bolted Bryan on the silver Issue, are openly declaring their Intention to support the Republican ticket. It is perhaps a safe estimate to give Taft 675; Bryan S60; and to allow 50 votes for division be tween the Socialist, Independence and Prohibition candidates.
