April 16,-Re-cently while upon hi continuous cam paign spcechmaking tour, William J. Brynn Mopped off 'n Kansas City long enough to make an address. At that time he took occasion to pro pound certain questions concerning William II. Taft as to what he atands for and what he would do In Regard to certain matteri of public policy. Herewith appended are soma of the (ueationi which Mr. Bryan asked, and the amwerl oi wr. im, ni in each instance in his public utter ances before they were prepounded by the Democratic leader: "What does Secretary Taft stand for? aaked Mr. Bryan.: One thing which .Secretary Taft atamU for is well-ordered, well-safe-quarded liberty against state social ism and government ownership, Said Mr. Taft In his address in Boston on Dec. 30, last:' ; - , "If the abuses of monopoly and discrimination cannot be- restrained, if the concentration'of walth made possible by such abuses 1 continues and increase, and it is made manifest that under the system of individual Urn and private property the tyranny and oppression of an Oligarchy of wealth cannot be avoided, then social ism will triumph and the institution of private property will perish. The administration has been thus far suc cessful in showing that dangers from Individualism can be effectively reg ulated, and that the abuses in. the ex ercise of private property can be re Mraincd. Thus a great conservative victory has been won and the com ing of socialism has been stayed. "The miestion which you. have ul timately to meet is not whether we shall return to a condition of unreg ulated railways and unregulated trusts, but is whether we shall main tain a strict system of regulation o! railways and trusts, or whether we shall turn tW country over to the advocates of government ownership and state socialism. Any one who seeks a retrograde step from the pol icy' of the administration is blind to every political sign of the times." . "What would he do with the trusts?" asked Mr. Bryan. . Mr. Taft in his speech at Columbus on August 19, last said: "I would restrain unlawful trusts nf inuinction Willi 811 UIC sihv.vmvj - roccss and would punish with all the severity of criminal prosecution every attempt on the part ot aggre gated capital through the , illegal menns I have described, to suppress . compctition-The attitude of the gov ernmcnt toward combinations of cap ital for the reduction in the cost of production ! should be exactly the game as toward the combinations of labor for the purpose 'of bettering the conditions of the -wage-workers and of increasing his share of the joint profit of capital and labor. They are both to be encouraged in every way so long as nicy conu.i ...... v within the Jaw." y "What does he propose on the taritr question?" asked Mr. Bryan. Mr. Taft proposes a revision of the Dingley schedules next year by a re publican Congress. He 'believes in the protection of American wage earners, and reasonable but not ex orbitant profits for American manu facturers. , In his- C,olumbus speech, referred to, concerning the coming of ' tariff revision, MrTaft said: 1 ;'. "It will affect only those' persons injuriously who are making an un- reasoname prom out pi an cju-c.w rate It now seems to me that even most of the extremists In the matter of tariff are of the opinion that It would not only be unwise, but unsafe, for the party to fail In Its next nation al' platform to pledge Itself to a re vision of the tariff as soon after the next presidential election as possible. Those of us Who'favor immediate re vision can well afford to wait until after the next presidential election In order, to secure substantial acquie scence by all republican s." .., THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OUKUUJN. a mmmmml'''mmm'm'mm''m'm'''''mm''m Z i Mini i mi ii I 1 1 1 1 'r" """" "" ' ' " imimiiH niiiunMMiuiiuiiJiJiiiiLnniiii.1 imuLwm nmm wmn wmwwmt,mwu!! iqwjwssimwwswi'- m. 1..... ... , i .. in "i ' - - rr ? . rr ''? n'tf. - . . . . . v in I SEE OUR WINDOWS .

' T Uoon the subject of injunctions Mr. Taft In his Cooper; Institute sneech on Ian. 10. 1908. said: rHt "Under the original Federal judic iary act, it was not' permissible for 'the Federal courts to Issue n In unction without notice. There had to be notice and, of course, a hearing. I think It would be entirely right in this class of cases, to amend the law and provide that, no temporary re- itraininii' order should issue at all until after notice and a hearing. Then the court could be advised by both sides with reference to the exact situ ation, and the danger of Issuing writ too broad or jof Issuing a writ with out good ground would generally be avoided." ' ' -'', ' He also expressed himself as favor- fntr "a Drovlsion allowing the defend ant in contempt proceedings to chal lenge the judge Issuing the injunction and to call for the designation of an other judge to hear the issue." , At the conclusion of that speech he was asked by one in his audience why ..i ill . t a black-listed laborer snouia noi dc allowed an injunction as well as boy cotted capitalist. To this Mr. Taft replied promptly, "He ought to be and if I were on the bench. I would give him one mighty quick" "What relief does Secy. Taft pro pose to gives ua ' from the burden which imperialism has imposed opon us?" asks Mr. Bryan. In his McKinley birthday annivcr- ary speech" at Cleveland last Janu ary, Mr. Taft referred to the fact that " imperialism" so-called, had added to the country's trade something like $100,000,000. He added: "I do not think ihnt'is imnortant exceot as a beginning. If ' the government con- tinues its friendly policy toward Porto Rico, and the Philippines, this trade will treble and quadruple in a marvelouBly short time, so that mere ly from the Mandpoint of material progress, the mutual benefits for the people we are helping and ourselves, will be no mean justification for the policy." Here epitomized are Mr Tafts an swers to Mr. Bryan's questions. Brown sells shoes that he offers with pride, . The reason is simple, their fame is orld-wide! Brands !that he sells are .the world's greatest makes; . "fue quality's in them; he never sells fakes! BROWN "One Touch of . Nature Makes . Whole World Kin." When a rooster finds a big fat worm he calls all the. hens in the j farm yar'd to come and share It. A j similar trait of human nature Is to j be observed when a man discovers j something exceptionally good he wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery. ' This Is the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. This explains why people who have been cured by Chamberlain's Cough Rem-j edy write letters to the manufactur ers for publication, that others sim ilarly ailing may also use it and ob tain relief. Behind every one of these letters Is a warm-hearted -wish -of the writer to be of use to some one else. This remedy Is for sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists. BRYCE TO LECTURE.
