TAFT AND BRYAN
(Continued from page 1)
Bryan paid a deep tribute to his
character and as Bryan arose he was
cheered and the echo continued for
many minutes. He delivered a non
partisan address. He spoke of the
changing times in politics and of the
evolution which would bring the op
posing candidates for the presidency
to the same banquet table and said:,
"I am glad to meet at this board one
who has been honored by his party
with the leadership in a great cam
paign. I am glad to testify to my
appreciation of his abilities and his
virtues. If I am successful, the vic
tory will be the greater to have won
from such, and if I am defeated, the
sorrow will be the less to have been
defeated by such." Mr. Bryan then
delivered an eloquent and thoughtful
address on commerce, the man made
corporation and the law of God in
commerce and society. ,
Taft was introduced by reference
to his mission to the Philippines.
Taft, whose rising was greeted with
another outburst of cheering perfect
ed his proferred speech with a few
impromptu remarks, which created
laughter. Taft said, "I have only be
gun to run for the presidency and I
am glad to begin when the political
amenities of the campaign are bet
ter nnderstood. I am exceedingly
glad to meet my distinguished oppo
nent and fellow guest and to forget
the rivalries and disputes of the cam
paign in this inspiring hospitality.
And I reciprocate in every way and
to the full his kindly and courteous
words of respect and good will. With
hira I have recently been subjected
to considerable strain. But the ex
periences of today has been almost
more than I could bear. One non
partisan speech is pretty much of a
bore (Mr. Bryan led in the merri
men), when yau are in other kind of
practice, and have to make three in
side of nine hours, I submit to my
distinguished fellow guest and oppo
nent it is cruelty to any man.
(Laughter)." ;
Mr. Taft's main address was de
voted,to the discussion of inequalities
in the administration of justice.
With the conclusion of Taft's
speech the banquet ended. The can
didates shook hands cordially and
parted, although they were delayed
in leaving the hall by the rush of
guests who wished to obtain their
signatures.

that as far as he knew neither Harri-'j
man nor his associates ever antago
nized the Panama Canal. The speak
er then went into detail to show that
the railroad rates in Alnerica and pro
fits from railroading is less than that
of any other country and declared
that through the existing laws, the
people of the country are fully pro
tected from extortion and other
forms of injustice. He declared that
further improvements in railroads
await only an easing of the money
market and a revival of business
which is sure to come if the people
will only co-operate with those who!
construct and manage the railroads.
One of the most striking declarations
of the afternoon was that of Secre
tary James F. Callbreath of the Am
erican Mining Congress who in a
speech on "Mining and conservation
of minerals, declared that the so
called "Smelter Trust," which he said
is controlled by the Standard Oil
Company, declared dividends over
$29,000,000 in three years ending
April 30, last, on capital of $100,000,
000. two-thirds of which, the speaker
asserted is water.
He added that the Standard Oil
through the American Smelting &
Refining Company, not alone con
trols 75 per cent of facilities for ore
smelting, but through mines already
owned, 75 per cent of the gold, sil
ver and copper output in the United
States. He criticised the federal gov
ernment for the failure to assist in
the protection of the mining industry
and importance of the national bu
reau of mines. Former Governor
Pardee of California during his
speech predicted within 25 or 35
years forests of the west will have

operated by women. Men will be bar

fruits and flowers are to be grown
every month in the year by the aid
of electricity. While some experi
ments have been made by this and
other governments, Madame Davidoff
believes her experiments will prove
more'sucessful than those carried on
by the bureau of plant industry of
the department of agriculture. She is
a writer for magazines. She says the
experiments will be based on the the
ory that the growth of vegetables

continue through the night if proper

In the case of Bryan it Is a ques
tion not of what he would do for the
people, but of what be would do to
the people.
Bryan has tried to bury his dead
Issues, but their ghosts haunt him
still even if they are not live issues.
Mr. Watterson and his star eyed
goddess will not enjoy black crow
for dinner next Thanksgiving day, al
though they seem to like it
Mr. Taft is a good' example of the
genuine American worklngman. He
is a believer in organized labor, but
not in restriction of output or vio
lence. David B. Hill pleads that his health
will not permit him to campaign for
Bryan. If Mr. Hill is still a Demo
crat, he should know that the time
for a Democrat to bo sick Is the day
after the election.
Candidate Taft on the stump will
make speeches that Candidate Bryan
can neither make, dodge nor answer.
Mr. Taft's arguments are based
upon achievements; Mr. Bryan's ar
guments rest upon promises, most of
which he now ignores as proved falll
cles, such as the fifty cent dollar -and
public ownership.
The disaffected negro who says he
has paid his debt to the Republican
party should ask himself what he
aweg to the Democrat party.
It is a paradox in politics, but it Is
nevertheless true, that the party in
power is not on the defensive in this j
campaign. The Republican record
and candidates need no defense The j
Democrats are apologists this year, i
The season is coming when Bryan
might find it popular to guarantee
deposits of overcoats and umbrellas.
Even while Mr. Taft is campaigning
the impetus he gave the work on the
Panama canal goes steadily on.

AN HONEST ARTIST.
He Would Not Paint a Lie Evtn For
a Napolson.
There was no love lost between the
Emperor Ixtuls Napoleon and his
cousin, Prince Napoleon, whom the
Parisians called "Plon Pion." Tbe
prince used to make abusive speeches
against the emperor, which people
were only too ready to repeat to him.
"Let him alone." Louis Napoleon would
reply. "He Is too well known. No
one would turn me out to place Mm on
the throne."
The emperor was correct, for no one
said n good word about "Plon Plon."
He was coiiiiuonly believed to have
shown the white feather In the Crimea
and never exposed himself where tbo
lead was falling. An English lady
who In her younger days mingled with
French society tells in her "Foreign
Courts and Foreign Homes" a story
as discreditable to Prince Napoleon as
It is honorable to a French artist!
While the artist was palntiig tbe

He sent the horse to the artist, so that
he could paint its exact portrait

prominent figure in tbe battle, but
without a rider.
k On hearing of this terrible omlssloc
the prince sent an ald-de-camp to ask

SEATTLE, Oct. 7.-Reprcscnttt-tivc
of the coal miner of this date
and the coal operator met yesterday
afternoon and signed an agreement
for the present wage scale to be in
force for the next two years. The
conference yesterday 'was, the result
of a postponed meeting from August
all other matter being settled at that
time, save the wage question which
became so vexed a matter that both
sides agreed to put It off for two
months.
By the agreement reached yester
day there will he no change whatever
in the wage scale for the next two
years. For a time during the discus
sion the debate became to warm that
it would appear that nothing but a
strike would settle the matter as the
operators insisted on a reduction of
the wage scale, the representative of
the coal men finally winning out by
presenting an array of figures con
cerning the cost of living, number of
day the men worked and other fact
which finally won the operator over.
A feature of the entire proceeding
has been the pleasant relations that
have existed between the operator
and the miners since the conference
began in August. While in "session
both side presented their respective j
side (if the quction with great vigor
but once the meeting wa over they
fraternized as if belonging to one or
