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

we hv had to bear nut there doubly heavy.

Mr. Taft addressed two audiences
heie tonight, both In theaters. His

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.

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.
LATHROP TRIAL SENSATION
Co-respondent in Divorce Case Is
Placed on Trial for Perjury.
SAI.EM. Or., Oct 20. (Special.) P. N.
Lathrop, a prominent Marion County bus
iness man and commercial traveler, was
put on trial today on the charge of per
jury alleged to have been committed by
him about six months ago, when he testi
fied as a witness in the Savage dlvorca

and testified that he was not at Shel
burn. Linn County, on a certain day about
a year ago, in company with Mrs. A. T.
Savage, but said he was there with his
wife The prosecution today put upon
the witness-etand J. L. 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.
Some sensational developments are
promised when the defense begins the in
troduction of its testimony.
LAKE COUNTY IS FOR TAFT
Republican Candidate Will Receive
Full Party Vote.
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.
DEMOCRAT SUPPORTS TAFT
Lake County Voter Announces
Change of Heart In Meeting.
LAKEVIEW, Or., Oct. 20. (Special.)
aiemhers of the Republican party met
In Snider's Hall, In Lakeview, last eve
ning and discussed the coming; Presi
dential election. Considerable enthu
siasm was manifested, and although
Lake County is outsldeof th Itinera
ries of campaign speakers sent out
from Portland, it waa evident that the
Republicans of Lake County are closely
watching the campaign and greatly In
terested In securing a neat majority
for the Republican Presidential candi
date. A number of speeches were made by
local citizens, one of them a Democrat
for years, declaring that he had dis
covered the errors of his waxs and
could be counted on to vote the Re
publican ticket this year, as well as
give it his hearty support among others.
At the close of the meeting a consid
erable sum of money was raised for
use In getting out a representative vote
on November 3 next.
