TAFT .NOT ENEMY OF LABOR Donnelly Tells President Only Pro fessional Labor Men Back Bryan. WASHINGTON. Oct 2S. President Roosevelt today made public a long let ter from Samuel B.

H. Grace, of Btnshamton. N. T., recently. Mr. Donnelly declares that the Presi dent's letter ably shows that Mr. Taft Is not an enemy of labor. From per sonal knowledge of Mr. Taffs record as Governor of the Philippines and In Pan ama, where heh ad extensive relations with labor, Mr. Donnelly unqualifiedly supports the President's estimate of Mr. Taft'a character. Mr. Donnelly cites an Interpretation of the Federal eight-hour law reported in 1907 and Mr. Taft'a logevlty pay Increases order of that year as Instances of the Judge's fairness to ward labor. Continuing. Mr. Donnelly says: "The professional Democratic labor workers who have been In the job in all recent campaigns are leading the move ment In the East. No spontaneous movement against Judge Tart has ap peared among the workers, and none but salaried officers are on the stump against htm. Those of us who remember the la bor conditions during the last Demo crats administration are of the opinion that t Mr. Bryan is elected or the tariff revised on the Democratic proposed plan of a tariff for revenue only,' we will all have plenty of time for Jury duty."

CHICAGO, Oct. IS. (Special.) "Mar rlase is the suicide of love." said Pro fessor Edward P. Monroe. Ph. D., of Leland Stanford Junior L'nlverstty, be fore the Woman's Literary Club, of Woodlawn, this city. "The increasing number of divorces eierh year in America seems to substan tiate this conclusion." said the profes sor, further. A restrained murmur of amazement was heard among the several hundred clubwomen present. "In the first place, marriage Is entered upon by thousands of foolish and frivo lous girls and thoughtless young men. without the least consideration of the question of mutual adaptability or of congeniality. Wedlock is rushed Into, and a few months after the honeymoon the parties concerned come back to their rational senses and realize that there are grave temperamental differences to reckon with. "Before long there appears on the hori zon of love's young dream the dreaded affinity," and most of you realize what that implies. It signifies that the bonds of matrimony will, ere long, be ruthlessly shattered and wind up in the divorce courts." CHILD PERISHES IN FIRE Son Meets Death Searching for His Mother In Burning Home.
