The thqpry or a uow Bryan Is dif ficult to assimilate. lie Is the same old 1800 Bryan with some 1008 varia tions. Mr. Brj'im declares that lie does not favor government ownership of rail roads. He favored It as late as May. 1007. and has not yet recanted tho statement be then made that he did not believe anything could be accom plished by attempts "to regulate the railroads and that government owner ship of thom was Inevitable The best one can wish for tho Den ver, physician who inoculated himself with ten kinds of disenso germs is thnt none of them will tnke any better thru Mr. Bryan's attempt to inoculate thi pooplo with his fifty-seven varieties of issues.

Mr. Taft assures labor of such standing. Mr. Bryan makes labor the demagogic promise of apccfnl privilege which lnbor does not want and knows It cannot get. Mr. Tnft hns alwnys completed every public tnslc set before him In a most satisfactory manner. Mr. Bryan starts on one task only to abandon It for bis a stays put. At Lincoln, Neb.. July 3, 1008.

Why don't you step aside and , permit the nomination of some. man who can be elected?"' My. Bidder's judgment was exceptionally good at that time, and his statement of fact still holds true. TAFT THE GUILDER III Directing Hand Has Insured Success of the Mammoth Project, Raised Wages of XttbmUn Laborers' by Longevity Order While Wa Y t . , - . Secretary, .. , ' , The Panama Onnal Is one of the greatest achievements of any Repub lican administration. . As Rocretiiry of War, lion, William II. Taft personally ansumed the respon sibility of InnuKuratlng the work and systematically slipping up the practical operations until a degree of efficiency has been reached that may well as tonish the nations of the earth. Mr. Tnft has applied to this world projoct and history making enterprise those same qualities of careful, thought ful Investigation, penetrating Judgment and absolutely fair dealing, which have made hlra so signally successful In the performance of all those duties of state which have brought blra to the blgh eralmmee he now occupies as one of our greatest living Americans. Mast Know Porionallf, Like the Philippine project and other great work laid npon him, be has studied the situation at Panama at close range and trusted to no second hand Information with which to In sure hie Sucre. There has been about ninety million dollars expended on the work to date and Mr. Taft has had to approve every dollar of this expendi ture, lie bus not been satisfied with a single visit to the Isthmus, but hns made the long Journey every year so that he. might direct the work more wwmtnlrnlly. The result is that be bos phm!ffil th-j situation there from an in- boppltahle;. region to a locality ' where Ameilcnns can live In healthful se curity without the fear of plagues or dread of contusions dlaeases. The rate of mortality on the Isthmus Is shout the same as It Isjn our American cities. ; ( of Ika Work. I Work on ' the canal bas passed through two stages, those of planning and preparation. It la now In the third and final stage, that of construction. Both of the earlier stages required the presence of a large working force, necessarily quartered la temporary and make shift accommodations. Because of these conditions, Inevitable at the outset, early, critics of the enterprise mistook the initial and temporary out- It for permanent eqolpmeat Tkrosirktful Aboat Lao. Mr. Taft's chief concern has been the proper care of the laboring man on the Isthmus. Under his patient and ap proved methods the terrible scourge of yellow fever, against which the French struggled In vain, the filthy and pest breeding state of the principal Panamanian towns, the rough labor camps, and other pioneer hardships of toe two first eras, have been eliminated. He has accomplished these things through the activity of the Department of Sanitation, the Department of Mu nicipal Rngtneerlng and the Building Department To-day we find yellow rever ariven from the Isthmus, the deadly stegomyla mosquito thus ren dered . Innocuous, malaria and pneu monia greatly reduced and a high average or health prevailing. Mammoth Conatmetloa Frojeot. President Roosevelt appointed a spe cial commission to examine the Isth m!sn' situation last spring, and it re ported Aug. 0, 1908. According to this special report there were at work at the Isthmus April 80, 1908, 28.118 men for the Isthmian Canal Commission and 7,075 at work for the Panama railroad, a total of 3.1,193 men all told. Dousing this Industrial army In quick time, with due attention to sanitation and hygiene, was a problem which would have been beyond most men. But Mr. Taft did It successfully. To keep tho machinery and tools In condition, three large machine and re pair Htinps, two shipyards and numer ous warehouses are maintained. When we recall that this enormous plant Is operated at a distance of 1,382 miles from Its nearest base of supply, New Orleans, and 1,075 miles from Its main base of supply, New York, we con es tlmate with more Justice and accuracy the magnitude and complications of the undertaking Mr. Taft baa conducted so well. ; V, :f. , Working-nan Appreciate Tutt. He has succeeded in Impressing labor on tne isthmus with his kindly inter est In Its behalf. On this point the spe cial commission's report says: "From the outset we were strongly Impressed by the spirit of good will and loyalty of the employes - , The general sentiment of the workers was expressed in tne words or a mechanic, in one of the conferences which we held with representatives of different trades. Said he: 'We want it understood that we are American citizens and that we are proud to nave a share In this great work. We believe the government is treating us right, and we are as much interested to see this thing a success as anyone,' This spirit of loyalty and interest in the work was evidenced 6u many occasions and should be account ed as an asset of the highest value to the government In the accomplishment of its colossal tnsU." Taft Ha Ibm Wj,i, On May 1, 1007, as Secretary of War, Mr. Tnft Issued a longevity order mak ing liberal snd appreciate Increase ln the wages of various clas of work men, es follows: i , "All employes not native to the trou les who occupy the positions herein d.-Higimted shall be granted the follow ing Increases In pay for length of con tinuous service oh the Isthmus; Five ptr cent of the basic or class rate for the second year, with accumulative ad dition of three per cent of the basic rate for each euhwrpiwit year; pro vided, however, that such cumulative Increase shall not exceed a total of 25c of the basic rate." .. , . In other words, Mr. Taft made It roesible for every American laborer on the Isthmus, by remaining there and working, to Increase bis wages 25 per cent and at the same time have a per manent position,, Tbess men olso gf-t four weeks' vacation with pay, every year and Mr, Taft favors making the vacation six weeks with pay.

' In the performonce xt this work the United States Is under the scrutiny of the entire world, ' especially of our neighbors In Central and South Amer ica, before whom we must make good our profession of high social and in dustrial Ideals. It would be a national calamity to Jeopardize the present lib eral progrewdve policy that Is so suc cessfully coimtructlng the Panama Ca nal. Mr. Taft is the one man to con tinue this great work to the end. COTOTEY SEEDS A KEPUBLICAH VI 4) COSGBESS, r t . ; ' President Roosevelt Points Out Im portance of Electing Legislators to Support Taft. President Roosevelt, In a letter to William I). McKlnley, chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee, appeals to disinterested citizens to Join with the National Republican Commit tee and the Congressional Committee In a movement to elect William H. Taft as PreIdent and a Republican Congress to support blm, saying, In part: "lt Is nrgently necessary, from the standpoint of the public Interest, to elect Mr. Taft. and a Republican Con gress which will support blm; and they seek election on a platform which spe cifically pledges the party, alike in it executive and legislative branches, to continue aud develop the policies which have been nut merely Introduced, but acted upon during these seven years. These policies can be successfully car ried through only by the hearty co-opcr- atlon of the President and the Congress In both Its branches, and It Is therefore peculiarly important that there should obtain such harmony between them. To fall to elect Mr. Taft would be a calam ity to the country ; and It would be folly, while electing blm, yet at the same time to elect a Congress hostile to htm, a Congress which under the In fluence of partisan leadership would be certain to thwart and baffle him on every possible occasion. To elect Mr. Taft, and at the same time to elect a Congress pledged to support blm, Is the only wsy In which' to perpetuate tie policy of the government as now car ried on. I feel that all the aid that can be gives to this policy by every good cltiteu should be given ; for this Is far more than a merely partisan matter." APPEAL TO LOYAL REPUBLICANS To Middle West and Rocky Moun- tain Statea Bepublioans. Yon want Mr. Taft and Mr. Sher man elected and they cannot be elected unless the Republican National Com mittee has sufficient money to pay the legitimate expenses of the campaign. It costs money to perfect an organisa tion. It requlrea money to pay for printing, postaga, salaries or stenogra phers and clerks at headquarters, trav eling expenses pf speakers and numer ous other details that go to make the campaign end successfully. Congress, ss you know, bas passed a law making It unlawful for us to solicit money from corporations. We must depend upon the contributions of Individual voters. If every Republican in this Western Division would contribute one dollar to the campaign fund, we will be able to do all the things that the voters want done; we will be able to elect Taft and Sbermau. Will you help? If so, please send one dollar to the chairman of your State Finance Committee, whose name appears In the list following, or sand it direct to mo and you will receive the official receipt of the Republican Na tional Committee. , - FRED W.
