TAFT A PROGRESSIVE SURE ENOUGH The Roster of His Supporters Furnishes Legal Proof. SOME OF THE MEN BEHIND HIM Corporation Lawyers, Standpat Senators, Trust Organisers, Machine Politicians, Are All Working For Taft. A respected member of Mr. Taft's cabinet has been circulating a pamphlet containing a speech written by himself to prove that Taft is a progressive. That ought to settle it, especially as Mr. Taft himself says he is a progressive. The best proof as to Taft's progressiveness, however, lies neither in the pamphlet of the cabinet member nor the statement of Mr. Taft, but in the list of progressive American statesmen who are leading the fight for Mr. Taft in the United States and who have declared Mr. Taft's progressiveness as the only genuine brand which they were willing to invest in or indorse. As a nation of lawyers—for that, it seems, is our chief magistrate's conception of the American people—we are entitled to the best evidence—to legal proof. And the best legal proof of what Mr. Taft is and what Mr. Taft stands for is to be found in who the men are and what the men stand for who are leading the fight for his remonination. They know him better than the average citizen, for they are daily working with him and for him. Here is a small list of the main Taft enthusiasts who have put the brand of "progressive" on the Hon. William Howard Taft and are now becoming him for four more years of "progress." It is not a complete list, and the reader is at liberty to add to it from the store of his own political knowledge. It is arranged for convenience by states. New York. The Hon. William Parnes, Jr., whom Taft made chairman of the Republican state committee, boss of Albany county, recently charged, in vice report now before the New York legislature, with protecting gambling and prestitution; old guard dictator in the legislature; implacable foe of Roosevelt, Hughes and direct primaries, and leader of the combination between Tammany and the Republican machine. J. B. Duke, who recently promised Taft his support, head of the tobacco trust, whose "dismemberment" as a result of Wickersham's prosecution has simply amounted to an immunity bath and a license to continue its dishonest warfare against competition at a profit already of more than $100,000,000. Mr. Duke is also head of the southern water power combine. Chauncey M. Depew, ex-railroad senator, officer in seventy corporations and trusts, lieutenant of the late Thomas C. Piatt. The Hon. James Wadsworth, stock raiser and ex-congressman, who lost his seat in congress as the result of his fight against Roosevelt's meat Inspection bill. Washington State. Richard A. Ballinger, late secretary of the interior, forced from office by public opinion in spite of President Taft's determination to keep him, supporter of the Morgan-Guggenheim-Cunningham Alaska interests. Jacob Furth, representing the Stone and Webster water power, electric railway and electric light corporations throughout Washington and other western states. The Hon. Wesley Jones, standpat senator, supporter also of Senator Lorimer. Minnesota. Ex-Congressman James A. Tawney, Taft leader of Minnesota, principal lieutenant of Cannon, the man who helped Cannon in his fight on oppose Roosevelt's pure food and drug law, the chief representative in congress of the lumber interests and one of the strongest opponents in congress of progressive legislation, supported by Mr. Taft, Mr. Cannon and the cabinet in his unsuccessful fight for re-election to congress. James J. Hill, the most active friend of corporate privilege and foe of progressiveness in the west, who recently called upon the president and gave public assurance of his support of Taft's candidacy. iowa. Ex-Senator Lare Young, an old fashioned reactionary politician, who succeeded Dolliver through Tuff's influence. Massachusetts. The Hon. Murray Crane, boss of Massachusetts Republican politics; one of the largest individual holders of Geneal Electric, Bell Telephone and Western Union securities in the United States; deeply interested in the New England textile industry and in the water power enterprises in the west and south; also one of the most powerful influences in the J. P. Morgan merger of New England's steam railways, electric railways and steamship lines; since Aldrich's retirement the most powerful friend of corporate privilege in the senate. Oregon. Ex-Senator Fulton, made famous by Heney's land graft prosecutions. Mr. Eaft offered Senator Fulton the positions of minister to China and federal judge. California. Pat Caihoun, boss of the ring of San Francisco and traction magnate. Mr. Caihoun at a recent dinner in Boston sat by President Taft, spoke in his support and denounced Roosevelt's progressive policies. William F. Herrin, who is counsel and political boss for the Southern Pacific political machine and who in this capacity dictated the choice of both Republican and Democratic nominees throughout the state until Governor Hiram Johnson put the Southern Pacific out of Republican politics in California. Idaho Senator Heyburn, arch standpatter and reactionary, who agreed to help the Cunningham claimants get their patients. He has always been a strong special interest man and a claimous essay of conservation in congress. New Hampshire. Senator Gallinger, the representative of the New York, New Haven and Hartford system; for many years chairman of the District of Columbia committee in the senate and who during this time has opposed every measure to control the public service corporations in the District of Columbia, also an active opponent of self government in the District of Columbia. Rhode island Nelson W. Aldrich of the rubber trust, ex-boss of the United States senate, the framer of the Aldrich tariff bill, the man who more than any other made the senate an instrument of special privilege and a body unrepresentative of the people of this country. Supported and publicly praised by Taft for putting over the Aldrich bill. Senator Henry F. Lippitt, who succeeded Aldrich. The man who wrote the cotton schedule of the Aldrich tariff bill for Mr. Aldrich. Delaware. Senator du Pont, political boss of the state of Delaware and head of the powder trust. Wisconsin. Senator Isaac Stephenson, lumber baron and lumber interest representative in the senate. Colorado William G. Evans, gas, water power, public service and political boss of Colorado. Senator Simon Guggenheim of smelter trust and Alaskan fame, the henchman and representative of the Evans interests. Bob Speer, mayor and boss of the city of Denver. Utah. James F. Smith, president of the Mormon church, a political, religious and financial oligarchy which controls Utah and which has promised to throw its support to Taft. Smith is not only president of the Mormon church, but Director in the Union Pacific railway and president of the Utah Sugar company, whose stock is controlled by the sugar trust and the Mormon church jointly. Senator Reed Smoot, one of the twelve apostles of the Mormon church. A sugar and wool senator and now leader of the reactionaries in the senate. Pennsylvania. Senator Boles Penrose, one of Mr. Taft's closest advisers, boss of the state of Pennsylvania. "Divine Right" Baer, president of the Philadelphia and Reading railway and head of the anthracite coal trust; the man who during the hard coal strike in 1892 promulgated the theory that Providence had placed the anthracite coal in the hands of the hard coal trust and given to him and his friends "the divine right" to dispose of the hard coal for what price they saw it. Montana The Amalgamated Copper company, a corporation organized by H. H. Rogers and William Rockefeller and controlled at present by Standard Oil, is the political and financial boss of the state. That's strength in Montana is due to the all powerful political ring which is owned by Amalgamated Copper. illinois. Joseph G. Cannon, reactionary ex-boss of house of representatives, whom Mr. Taft unsuccessfully supported for re-election as speaker. William B. McKinley, Cannon's first lieutenant in house, the traction magnate of Illinois. Manager of the Taft campaign and strong opponent to government by the people. William Lorimer, now on trial by the senate on the charge of buying his seat and who hopes to win through Mr. Taft's support. Wyoming Senator Warren, head of the Warren ring in Wyoming, Washington representative of the combination between the wool producers and wool manufacturers, the man who helped the Union Pacific Coal company to acquire the coal fields of Wyoming, which operation is spoken of by Chiffrman Knapp in his report to the interstate commerce commission as having been accomplished by violence, fraud and theft. Congressman Mondell, reckonably member of public lands committees, the most complicous enemy of conservation in the house. Oblo. Boss Cox of Cincinnati, prizefighter, execuion keeper and boss of a political machine in comparison with which Tammany Hall is a good government club. Charles P. Taft, who, with his brothers, William Howard, backed the Cox machine in the last Ohio state election in its fight against the Ohio progressives. John B. McLean, newspaper owner and backer of the Cox machine. A Democrat in politics, but a Republican for the purpose of Taft's election. These are some of the men who are the wheel horses of the Taft progressive movement. These are the men whom he has supported and advised with during his administration and who are now crying for his renomination. They have placed their O. K. on Mr. Taft and pronounced him a "progressive," but a "safe and sane" progressive. Four years ago when they thought with Roosevelt and others that he was genuinely progressive they all opposed him. But now they know him better and are all anxious to re-elect him. If a plain citizen should have the impudence to inquire of these gentlemen how a president can be "safe and sane" both to the plain people and to the bosses, ringmasters and special interest representatives who prey upon the plain people, these gentlemen would no doubt reply in the words of the old song: "Hail, hail, the gang's all here! What the h-1 do we care!" But there is another question that the gang does care about, and that is interesting it more and more as the Republican national convention draws near. That question is whether, after all, it is worth while to nominate a man who cannot be elected even if his progressiveness is everything that the gang requires and nothing that it does not require. Leadership is as dear to the bosses aa the government payroll is to the southern officeholders. To the bosses and officeholders the nomination of Taft means defeat, and defeat means loss of power and loss of jobs. ROOSEVELT VERSUS TAFT. A Comparison Between a Progressive and a Reactionary. In his Louisville speech Mr. Roosevelt suggested these standards for distinguishing between the progressive and the reactionary: Every man who lights fearlessly and effectively against special privilege in any form is to that extent a progressive. Every man who directly or indirectly upholds privilege and favors the special interests, whether he acts from evil motives or merely because he is puzzle headed or dull of mental vision or looking in social sympathy or whether he simply lacks interest in the subject, is a revolutionary. Every man is to that extent a progressive if he stands for any form of social justice, whether it is recurring proper protection for factory girls against dangerous machinery or recurring a proper illumination of hours of labor for women and children in industry, for securing proper living conditions for those who dwell in the thickly crowded regions of our great cities, for helping, so for its legislators to help, all the conditions of work and life for wageworkers in great centers of industry, for helping by the action both of the national and state governments, so for conditions will permit, the men and women who dwell in the open country to increase their efficiency both in production on their forms and in business arrangements for the marketing of their produce and also to increase the opportunities to give the best possible expression to their social life. The main is a reactionary, whatever may be his mission and no matter how excellent his intentions, who opposes these movements or who if in high price takes no interest in them and does not connect help them forward. The Metropolitan Magazine in an editorial makes this comparison between President Taft and his predecessor. The present incumbent of the office is a man of comfortable habit. He enjoys good food and good motorsports. His reputation is golf over the links of two of the most exclusive country clubs in America. If he were John D. Rockefeller or the Duke of Westminster he could not be further removed from the atmosphere of recreational leisure. One cannot conceive Mr. Taft spending days among the masters of Pennsylvania or the steel workers of Pittsburgh. Nor can one picture him taking any reasonable interest in the tolling necessity. If they get what the law allows them he is well content to disambage them from his well heaped raid. The other candidates are like Mr. Taft—with the exception of Roosevelt. He is different, not because he does not like the good things of this world; he probably likes them just as much as Taft. Who doesn't? But he is not dependent on them. And he has a burning sympathy with the poor wretches who never can enjoy them. He is a rich man, compared with the vast majority of his fellow countrymen, but the comforts of life are not enough for him. He was born with the divine discount. He cannot be easy in wealth so long as the wealth of the few is built upon the misery of the many. Roosevelt has been for days among the miners of Pennsylvania. Probably he would much rather be shooting foes or leading a regiment in battle. But the injustice of life so impresses itself upon him that he cannot rest until he has at least done his share to improve things. This comparison is a keen analysis of the reasons underlying the events of the last four years which must inevitably culminate in making Mr. Housevelt the people's candidate for the presidency in November. — Kansas City Star. MR. REPUBLICAN VOTER. Are You Willing to Have the Democratic Party Namo the Republican Candidate For President? This is just what the Democrats are attempting to do all over the country. The Democratic newspapers are breaking their necks to nominate Taft and are hysterical in their denunciation of Roosevelt. Why? Because the Democrats know they can beat Taft in the election if he is nominated and know they cannot beat Roosevelt. Every Democrat everywhere knows Roosevelt would be elected. This is why the Democratic newspapers and the Democratic politicians are breaking their necks to keep Roosevelt from getting the nomination—good business on their part. Suppose Roosevelt would prove a weak candidate if nominated. Would the Democrats oppose his nomination as they are now doing? Most certainly not. To beat Roosevelt in the nomination means to every Democrat that the Democratic party will win at the polls in November. These are plain facts that you cannot get away from. Think it out for yourself. Anecdotal Literature During the strenuous winter months the son of Skipper Norwood, of Norway, used to lie in front of the big fireplace, and when the fire got low old Norwood would rouse up his son and send him to the woodpile for a backlog. This happened so often that Bill got tired of it. So one evening, when his old father sent him out for the backlog, he continued on past the woodpile, went across the country to the nearest seaport and shipped on a whaler. Nine years after Bill came back, it was a bitter cold night. Bill sneaked to the window and peeped in. He saw the old couple, sitting quietly before the fireplace looking sooty at the fire just going out. So he went to the woodpile, took a big backlog and carried it into the amazement of the old couple. "Offer! father," he said, "I've brought in that backlog you sent me after. The old man never budged an inch, instead he spat into the fire and merely went: "Set it on the fire, Bill—You've been a hell of a while in gittin' it." A RETURN IN KIND. Mark Twain once asked a neighbor if he might borrow a set of his books. The neighbor replied, ungraciously that he was welcome to read them in his library; but he had a rule never to let his books leave his house. Some weeks later the same neighbor sent over to ask for the loan of Twain's lawn-mower. "Certainly," said Twain, "but since I make it a rule never to let it leave my lawn, you will be obliged to use it here." HAD SAMPLED IT When Mark Twain came to Washington to try and get a decent copyright law passed, a Representative took him out one afternoon to Chevy's Chase. Twain refused to play golf but consented to walk over the course and watch the Representative's strokes, who was rather a duffer. Tearing off, he scattered earth in all directions. Then, to hide his confusion, he said to Mark: "What do you think of our links here, Mr. Clemers?" "But I ever tested," said Twain, as he wiped the dirt from his lips with his handkerchief." JACK'S OPINION. "Say, ver know that literary chap they hod the Furious cottage up on the hill two years ago last summer—Mark Tmain. I believed they called nem. Gee! you never think ter look at it too that he could write books!" "Well, he user come over ter my house an' set fer hours to a time while I spun yung an' told 'm about York folks an' things. Secmed ter be reel sociable like—liked ter smoke an' joke with an old fool like me." Negro boys and girls continue to win renown as scholars all over the country.

"AS WE SEE IT" Is the Title of a Book whose author is Robert L. Waring, Esq., 609 F. Street Northwest Washington, D. C. It is excellent, and is destined to do incalculable good. In fiction it gets at facts as they exist, and outlines the real bulk of the causes of the trouble and friction between the two races. It is bound to be read the world over and will serve well its purpose. It took a strong mind and a fertile brain to plan and write this book which Henry Watterson, the great editor says is phenomenal, and will be read by as many white as colored people—just as it should be, for the real and proper settlement of the so-called problem, is interdependent—one upon the other. It is written in a time as ripe to make it almost as popular as did the period that immortalized Uncle Tom's Cabin. Get the book and read it. It only costs $1.60. Address the author as given above.

The rapid increase of school libraries throughout the state, both in size and numbers, is an evidence of the importance attached to the library as an educational agency. The best results are obtained when libraries are in charge of persons who have had training for the work and who are capable of applying approved library methods in cataloguing, classification and in the other work of the library. In order to provide an opportunity for students to equip themselves for such work a credit course in Library Methods will be offered at the university next year. The course will continue throughout the year and will include practice in cataloguing and classification, use of reference books, binding and repair, selection and purchase of books, government documents, and other problems connected with the management of school libraries. It is designed to meet the needs of both the school superintendent who may desire a general knowledge of library methods and the high school teacher who may be called upon to act as librarian. BASEBALL PRACTICE BEGUN AT WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY. The prospects for baseball this season at the university are fine. The candidates who are trying out for pitchers and catchers have already started indoor practice. The schedule is the strongest in years, possibly one of the hardest that any university team has ever coped with. There are games arrayed with Notre Dame, two with the Wheeling Central League, three with W. & J. and probably one with each of the Cuban Giants, and a team representing the College of Hawaii, of Honolulu, China.
