The Democratic lenders have failed
to discover nnv way by which they
can safely withdraw the glowing
words with which they eulogized Mr.
Cleveland at Denver.
The thqpry or a uow Bryan Is dif
ficult to assimilate. lie Is the same
old 1800 Bryan with some 1008 varia

favor government ownership of rail

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

Labor is learning that its only safety
Is in precise, exact equality before the
law with capital. 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.

which he snld: "1 Raid to Mr. Bryan:
'You cannot enrry New York, and you
cannot be elected. 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.

Project,

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. , -
