I
T IS quite legitimate for Mr. Taft
to criticise Mr. Bryan's ideas and
propositions. 8ome of them. are
debatable questions. But it is
regrettable that Mr. Taft in distinct
terms predicts wholesale business
disaster If Bryan should be elected.
This is not the tone of a great states
man asd patriot Mr. Taft Is a mas
of Influence and high standing, and
thus to predict panie and disaster if
aa otber man rather than himself
should be elected president is not
eredrtable to him. According to this
doctrine, the people can jDerer

The above is but a brief and scant
mention of the public services of
this great man, a man who though
himself rich for those days and edu

greater statesmen have ever lived
And yet a newspaper in Portland
Oregon, In 1908, writes columns to
show that this great man was a fool
a coward, a liar and a traitor! It
would be unfortunate Indeed if
American youth believed this of such
a man as Jefferson. It is unfortun'
