and they are embodied in the principles
and praettrrs of all the railmnd broih
erhncds at the present day. The abn?es
of Injunction have been fearlessly exp.isM
and attacked by Mr. Taft. Tet me civ
you an example of what he hn.s jusL
done :
"A year or no aco the editor of the
paper specially df-voted to the Iron
moulders' I'nlon called upon nic to say
tl-;at a dr rve bad been enured In the
1'nlted States Circuit t'onrt at Milwaukee
!n the Summer of 1!'"S. which he repaxded
as crossly unjust antl improper and as
practically fatal to trades unionism. The
c?e was t i at of the Ironmoulders'
I'n'.on apiinst the Allis-t'lialiuers Com
panv of Milwaukee. The members of the
union, havinjf mad certain demands for
the betterment of thetr condrtion. of
service, which were refused, went on a
strike and an Injunction suit followed In
the T"ni!l States Circuit Court. The
late employes were en.loi.ied from allped
Interference.
Alvio I'nlon to Protest.
"The final decree was of the most
drastic r-nd far-reachtnr character, and
besides enjoinir.p the late employes from
del uk acts which were clearly lllepal. It
also enjoined them from any form of
picket in p. from inducing: employes to
Vave the service of the AWs-Chalmers
Company by persuasion or otherwise, and
from any kind of interference with th
company, direct or Indirect. So sweepMip
wrf the terms of this in ftim-tinn that it
practically forbid the union from making
any effort, no matter how peaceful and
proper. to maintain their position in this
trade dispute. The editor ot the Iron
moulders" Journal. J. P. Fry. broiipht the
cae before nie. statins t iiat t he union
dtrt rot know what t do: that its funds
were limited: that be felt that they were
sunrin from a pross injustice which
thev were powerless to rrmedv. I called
In Mr. Taft and asked Mr. Pry lo lay the
case before him. as of course Mr. Taft
was far more competent than I was to
fxprtss his judgment as To the lepali;y
and propriety of the action taken.
Taft's Position Vplirld.
Mr. Taft satisfied himself of t h
fa ts. and at once became exceedinplv
Jr.divnant at such an injunction havinp
hn issued. H stated ti'at in his
cpirion the position taken by the court
In issuing the Injunction was clearly
untena b! and thn i what was needed
was that the union should ret some
first-class lawyer to represent them and
brtnjr the case before toe 'hlzher

Mr. Fry's request, that the union retain

lrJ3. and who. by the way. Is the
author of the Review of the Lnbor le
ctsions of Jurfce Taft. published In the
Review of Review, in 1P7. Taft
exp'ain-d that one of the troubles of
the labor unions was that so often they
do not Ret the best of counsel, so that
their cases were not properly present
ed, and that In his jurlpmcrt Mr. Jtni
ron would be sure to present this cas
ariftht. stntM that the decision of
the court oupht certainly to be In ?h-?ir
favor. The case was ariruf-d before
the United States Circuit curt of Ap
peal by Mt. Judson and Mr. Rubin, of
Milwaukee, for the union. and by
James M. Beck, counsel fur the National
Manufacturers Association, for the
company.
Taft's Wisdom Justified.
"The decision of the court was handed
down in Chicago on the Sth day of this
month, and it justifies Judpe aft s wis-
the most important
contention of the labor unions. The
court holds that while unfler the . fact,
of the ta.e the ecfmpany was entitl-o to
?ome injunction relief, the d
far bevond the proper limits. It .-iick
out of the decree all of the provisions
which prevented peaceful picketing or tn

power of Injunction, if such abuses ar in

The right" of peaceful picketing and per
ualoi. so that employes may by pe.ice-f-il
means induce ether employes to join
them is forcibly set fonh In this opin
ion and It bases its decision largely upon
Judge Taft's decision and upon the de
cision in the Wabash Injunction ease.
whi-h itself was largely based upon
Judge Taft's decision: so that Judge
Taft's decision is declared by the court
to have settled the law as to the sub
stantial rights of the parties, loavjng only
the application of the principle of the
so-declared law as new cases arose.
Corrects Injunction Abuses.
"The great importance of thia opinion
is that It corrects alnises that have crept
Into injunctions and labor disputes in the
Federal as well as the state courts. This
decision goes far to protect the rights of
worklngmen. and It does so because !t is
exp'icitly based upon the labor decisions
of Judge Taft and this decision was se
cured only in consequence ot following
the advice given by Judge Taft as to the
proper course of procedure. A more strik

Has Bearing on Supreme Court
t.. : J af-.n t K, rlpcislonS
of
of
Judge Tafl In the famous personal injury
case of Narramore against the C. C. C
St. Louis Railroad, in which he held
that an employe could not by any form
of contract exempt a railroad company
from the consequences of failure to obey
the law. the fault In this cae being the
lack of provision for protection of em
ployes required by law. These two cases
the President says have a further Impor
tance when it is remembered that tlie
President soon to be chosen will probably
himself choose a majority of the Justices
of the Supreme Court, during the next
four years.
President Roosevelt then cites condi
tions existing among employes of the
Tanama Canal, where, thanks to Mr.
Taft and the care and supervision he has
exercised, the men on the Isthmus are
better paid, better protected, better cared
for. than In any private Industrial enter
prise in the L'nlted States.
Disaster If Bryan Wins.
The President says that "opposed to
the entire vagueness of Mr. Bryan's pro
posals." Mr. Taft stands pledged to the
policy of the Administration of conserv
ing the rights of the wage-earner. That
policy Is shown, he said. In the effort
put forth to settle the nnthrsclte strik
antl the prevention last Spring of a gen
eral reduction of wages on the railroads
of the country-. Continuing the compari
son, the President says:
"But if Mr. Bryan were elected. I have
little doubt that the ensuing industrial
chaos, necessitating great reduction of
wages and widespread non-employment,
would be beyond the reach of such action
as that which averted the threatened
disaster last Spring."
Answering the question himself as to
why the National Government, through
its Bureau of Lflhor. has not done for
the wage-earner what through the De
partment of Agriculture it has done for
the farmer, tlie President says:
"The time has not yet come when this
is possible: we have advanced in each
case just as fast and as far as was possi
ble with the knowledge and means at our
command. Between pure science or spec
ulative theory and its practical applica
tion in the hands of a government lies of
necessity a gap of years, years of pa
tiant investigation and experiment after
truth. Tlie whole principle of material
and social advancement has come to a
quicker fruition in our Department of
Agriculture for the reason that biology Is
more easily handled with reference to
seeds and plants and cattle thun as re
gards men. It is our confident claim,
however, that applied science, if carried
out according to our programme, will suc
ceed In achieving for humanity, above all
for the ciiy industrial worker, results
even surpassing in value those today in
fffect on the farm."
Ciives Advice to Voters.
The President concludes with the fol
lowing advice and prophesy:
'Mr. Taft's election should be advo
cated by ell who believe In making a far
reaching effort toward the betterment of
our scheme of social and industrial life.
It should also he advocated by all who
wish an immediate advance in these so
cial and industrial conditions.
"If Mr. Taft Is not elected a period of
industrial ciiaos and business bad times
will ensue In which the worklngmen will
suffer far more than any other class.
They are tlie people who. more than any
other, will pay the penalty. For their
own material Interests I bellove that they
should support Mr. Taft: and further
more. I believe that they should support
lwn because lie has by his actions over
and over again proved himself to be a
singularly fearless and effective cham
pion of il'.e rights of labor, and above all.
I "feel that they should support lilm as
good American citizens, because he em
bodies what is beat and highest In our
American citizenship."

PITTSBURG, Oct. S. Justice John P
Elkin, of the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court, whose name was introduced by
W. R. Hearst tn the alleged Standard
Oil correspondence read by the edltoi
at a meeting In New York last night,
denied today that he had ever received
money for improper purpose from John
D. Archbold or ever had attempted to
influence legislation in behalf of the
Standard Oil Company.
Ex-Governor William Stone. whom
Hearst charged with being Influenced
by Standard Oil officials in-the appoint

night: "Mr. Hearst seems to think that be-,
cause- a lawyer understands the oil and
gas laws of Pennsylvania, he Is disqual
ified to be' a Judge. That rule would
make only those eligible who did not un
derstand laws relating to oil and gas.
and as every lawyer in Pennsylvania in
practice does understand the laws re
lating to oii and gas. Mr. Hearst's rule
would, compel us to go Into some other
state for judges.
"The drafts to Mr. Elkin. If sent to
him. were sent while he was either chair
man of tlie state P.epublican committee,
or a member of the finance committee.
It was not Improper for him to receive

Tribute to Andrew Todd, Graduate of Gla Bgow University, From His Devoted Wife.
IN THE death of Mr. Andrew Todd,
of El)lott Prairie. Hubbard, we lose
a man of such noble character, such ster
llrfg qualities that few have any Idea
of. Born In England, on the famous
Flodden Field, noted in history, he was
possessed of the indomitable courage
drawn, as it were, from the very soil
of that famed battlefield, while his bril
liant Intellect won for him the admira
tion and- friendship of men of eminence
In literature, science and art.
Bv the time he was IS he had distin
guished himself at Glasgow University,
and before he was 22 he had won his
degree of B. A. and M. A. and C. E.,
having attended the classes at Glasgow
and those at Edinburgh and listened to
the lectures of such men as Dr. Blackle,
Sir William Thompson and many others
who became after his very" warm
friends.
He was a fine Latin and Greek scholar,
being able to read all the well-known
classics In the original. I have as some
of my most cherished possessions testi
monials, many of them from men at
tending on royalty and of world-wide
fame, landing his wonderful gifts and
predicting for him a brilliant future.
But now comes the part that prevented
the brilliant future: It is told In four
words. His health broke down. After
teaching the higher mathematics and
coaching young men for the universities
for a year or two, his physi.ian ad
vised him to take the voyage to New
Zealand. The three and a half months
on the ocean benefited htm greatly, and
the gloilous climate of that enchanted
land restored him to perfect health.

yet discussing the remarkable features
of the past few days. .
The President's message to the Em
peror was presented to him through
Count Komura, the Naval Minister, and
the Emperor will probably make a re
ply tomorrow, but there is no reason
to expect that the Emperor's message
will contain other than graceful ac
knowledgments and an expression of
gratification ot the President's warm
message of appreciation. Nothing could
possibly exceed In the public mind In
Japan the significance of the Emperor's
prospective message.
Makes Prelty Departure.
The departure of the fleet this morn
ing was one of the prettiest features
of the week. The flagship Connecticut
slipped her cable at exactly 8 o'clock.
She steamed past the Louisiana and
saluted, and was followed by the others
of the first squadron. When the' eight
ships had passed, the Louisiana led the
second line, and the entire fleet then
formed in single column.
As each of the American battleships
passed the head of the Japanese column
the crews of the ships of both nations
cheered enthusiastically, and the band
on each of the American ships "played
the Japanese national hymn.
When the last of the 16 battleships
was saluting the Connecticut was in
visible on the horizon. Within exactly
10 minutes the entire maneuver had
been completed.
2 6 Jackies Left Behind.
The Japanese naval men are loud In
thetr praise of the behavior of the
American sailors. The last hours of
the bluejackets' stay ashore, however,
was disastrous to the record of non
absentees. Since midnight Saturday,
26 men have been reported missing-,
but the majority of these were picked
up today and will be placed on board
the Yankton, which will sail on Tues
day. No actual cases of desertion have
occurred, for it is believed that In
every instance those who failed to re
port when their ships sailed, were sim
ply suffering from excess of hospitality.

Then the desire seized him to try

conjecture. Tomorrow, with the convening-
of the Circuit Court for Ohio

be at the disposition of Colonel Tatom.
To aid the militia the adjoining coun
ties have been drawn on ' for posses

In the Reelfoot lake district the lake
Itself is the source of contention. It
was asserted by those living in the
vicinity that It was their right to ply
their vocation as fishermen In Its wa

owner of the land upon which the lake

the courts the latter was upheld.
