But withal it has strengthened Taft rather than weakened him. Roosevelt's letter, coming as it did, after Taft's own refusal to say something has made Taft appear in his true light before the public. When Taft was asked if he had anything to say in regard to the letters, did he seek self aggrandisement? Ha , said: "If it should win me every vote in the United States I will not hit a man when he is down." That shows the man. Foraker's obloquy is as deep as it can ever be why jump on him when he is down and out. What Taft refused to do, was fo clear him- ' self. Knowing his own sterling honesty, he thought it was unnecessary. But what Taft would not do self vaunting as any such action would be of his own Initiative, Roosevelt can do and has done. Those who remember the trials of the administration, with not only the rate bill, but with all its other legislation in which Foraker blocked the work at every issue, and then remember the terrific fight which Foraker waged against Taft, can hardly fail to see that Foraker's downfall Is for the good of Taft. Taft had the chance to compromise with Foraker, but scorned to do so. That is the message which Roosevelt brings to the country. And Roosevelt can do with propriety what Taft can not. "I personally know the strongest pressure by various party leaders was brought on Mr. Taft at that time to consent to the proposed arrangement and he was Informed by leading men from other states that if he would conBent to this arrangement all opposi

tion on the part of Mr. Foraker and on the part of some of Mr. Foraker's Influential friends In the senate and elsewhere would cease, and that Mr. Taft's nomination for the presidency would be assured. "But Mr. Taft declined for one momerit to consider any possible advantage to himself where what he regarded as a great principle was at stake. His attitude on hls question, as well as on countless questions, . convinced rue that of all men In this Unloa he was the man ; pre-eminently fit, in point of uprightness and character and fearless' and aggressive honesty and of fitness for championing the rights of the people as a whole, to be president."

As Mr. Roosevelt later points out, the Brownsville agitation was not a genuine love for the 'colored man, but part of a campaign to embarrass the republican party. What if Taft had compromised with "the interests," then Foraker's downfall would have made his election precarious indeed. He has shown up true and strong. "If I was confronted with a mere fac tional difference within my party," says Taft. "jiot involving a subject which must come up for consideration and action by the next republican convention, I should not be so emphatic In my conclusion." And he goes on to 6ay that he can not "stultify himself by acquiescence in any proposed com promise." Here is the real Taft. Not for any consideration even though it meant the highest office in the land with assured election would he com promises with the "interests." ; Thus it is that in the greatest scan dal, of .the campaign Taft stands out without a blemish, without a suspicion of collusion or of compromise with the forces which are so dangerous to the country and which have fought the administration at every turn. Taft has justified the confidence which has been placed in him. From other candidates we have promises and assurances of ability and character of Taft we have conclusive proof of his cleanest and true sincerity in the fight against the common enemy. ' FORAKER-H ASKELL. The disclosures made by Mr. Hearst have done a service to the country, They have pointed out in no unmistakeable terms the difference between the. republican and the democratic parties in their attitude toward the forces of corporate wealth which have been committing abuses. "Foraker was a republican and Haskell a democrat." you say. Yes. But with a difference. Foraker was discredited and in active conflict against the republican party he fought Roosevelt and Taft at every turn. He was a snake in the grass. But how about Haskell? Where is he? The right hand man of Bryan. The treasurer of the democratic national campaign funds. He is the man from whom all the Oklahoma banking lawj business is coming. He is not convicted by mere damaging correspondence he is convicted by court record. As Mr. Hearst points out: "Mr. Haskell has had many years in which to sue Mr. Monnett if that gentleman committed lible in naming C. N. Haskell as one of the men who attempted to bribe him in the Standard Oil case." He is equally or more incriminated. Has that made any difference to Bryan? Has it made any difference to the democratic party. Did they fight Haskell as the republicans under Roosevelt and Taft fought Foraker. There is no excuse for ignorance. The matter was one of sworn testimony in a well known bribery case. So they put him in as treasurer to Mr. Bryan the fighter of the trusts. How much fighting is Mr. Bryan going to do when hampered by the tool of the corporations? Is it mere talk? If it isn't why does not Mr. Bryan get a new treasurer and explain to his sympathetic followers that he was deceived about Mr. Haskell and ignorant of his court record? So with all the democratic talk in spite of Bryan's attempts to pose as the "real Roosevelt heir" the democratic party is tenacious to the friends and tools of the "interests," men of smirched political chajacter, despicable emissaries of bribery, go-betweens and what nots. The republican party has men in it of like character but they are not In the high places. They are not in the foreground. If the republican party did have such men in the management of things it could not go before the people and demand their support. Quesiion and Answer. The question has been .. asked a laundress, whose conversion was thorough, "How would you like to go back to the use of yellow rosin soap and the back breaking, muscle-wearing old way of washing?" Her answer was short and simple. . "Not as long as Easy Task soap is made. When I follow directions on the wrapper, it does nearly all the work itself and my washing for the entire week only costs me 5c." MASONIC CALENDAR. Wednesday Evening, Sept. 23.

The KING of f

By Louis 4 Author of "Wings of the Light." XV? COPYRIGHT. 1904, By Lady Morland hastily tore open the recovered dressing cuse and consulted an address book. "Oh, here it is!" she cried triumphantly. "No. 3 Johnson's Mews. ' Mile End toad, E. What a horrid smelling place. However, Messrs. Sharpe & Smith will now be able to obtain some definite intelligence for me. Julie! .., My carriage in ten minutes." Thus it happened that during the afternoon a dapper little clerk descended from an omnibus In the neighborhood of Johnson's Mews and began his inquiries, as all Londoners do, by consulting, a policeman. Certain facts were forthcoming. "A Mrs. Anson, a widow, who lived In Johnson's Mews? Yes, I think a woman of that name died a few weeks ago. I remember seeing a funeral leave the mews. I don't know anything about the boy. Sometimes when I pass through there at night I have seen a light In the house. However, here It Is. Let's have a look at it." The pair entered the mews and approached the deserted house. The solicitor's clerk knocked and then tried the door. It was locked. They both went to the window and looked in. Had Philip hanged himself, as he In tended, they would have been somewhat surprised by the spectacle that would have met their eyes. As tt. was, they only saw a small room of utmost wretchedness, with a mattress lying on the floor In front of the fireplace. An empty tin "and a bundle of "bid letters rested on a rickety chair, and a piece of sacking was thrust through two broken, panes in the small window opposite. ;. ; "Not much there, eh?" laughed the policeman. "Not much, indeed. The floor is all covered with dirt, and If it were not for the bed one would imagine that the house was entirely deserted. Are you sure Mrs. Anson is dead?" "Oh, quite sure. Hers was rather a hard case, some one told me. I remember now. It was the undertaker. He lives near here." "And the boy. Has he gone away?" "I don't know. I haven't seen him lately." Each of these men had read all the reports concerning Philip and his diamonds. Large numbers of tiny, white pebbles were lying ou the floor beneath their . eyes, but the window was not clean, and the light was far from good, as the Bky was clouded. Yet they were visible enough. The clerk noticed them at once, but neither he nor the policeman paid more heed to the treasures almost at their feet than was given by generations of men to the outcrop of the main reef at Johannesburg. At last they turned away. The clerk gave the policeman a cigar with, the remark: "I will just ask the undertaker to give me a letter, stating the facts about Mrs. Anson's death. I suppose the boy Is in the workhouse?" "Vh6 knows? It often beats me to tell what becomes of the kids who are left alone in London. Poor little devlis, they mostly go to the bad. There should be some means of looking after them, I think." Thus did Philip, bravely sustaining his heart in the solitude of a prison, escape the greatest. danger that threatened the preservation of his secret, and all because a scheming v oman was too clever to tell her solicitors the exact reason for her anxiety concerning the whereabouts of Mrs. Anson and her son. The boy passed a dolorous Saturday night and Sunday. Nevertheless the order, the cleanliness, the comparative comfort of a prison were not wholly ungrateful to him. His meals, though crude, were . wholesome, luxurious even, compared with the privations he had endured .during the previous fortnight. The enforced rest, too, did him good, and, being under remand, he had nothing to do but eat, take exercise, read a few books provided for him and sleep With Monday came a remarkable change in his fare. A pint of first rate cocoa and some excellent bread and butter for breakfast evoked no comment on his part, but a dinner of roast beef, potatoes, cabbage and rice pudding was so extremely unlike prison diet that he questioned the turnkey. "It's all right, kid," came the brief answer. "It's ,paid for. Eat while you can and ask no questions." "But" The door slammed, and at the next meal . Philip received in silence a cup of tea and a nice tea cake. This went on during tbree days. The good food and rest had already worked a marvelous change in his appearance. He entered the prison looking like a starved dog. When he rose on the Thursday morning and washed himself, no one would have recognized him as the same boy were it not for his clothes. After dinner he was tidying his cell and replacing the plates and the rest on a tin tray when the door was suddenly flung open, and a warder cried: "Come along, Morland. " You're wanted at the court." "At the court!" he could not help saying. "This is only .Thursday." . ... "What a boy you are for arguing! Pick up your hat and come. Your carriage waits, my lord. I hope you will like your quarters as well when you come back. , A pretty stir you have made In the papers the last five days." Philip glanced at the man, who seemed to be in a good humor. . . "I will not come back," he said quietly, "but I wish you would tell me who I supplied., me with food .while. I h"aye been here." ' '''"" '' ... They were passing along a lofty corridor, and there was no supetlor officer Insight. The warder laughed. "I don't know, my lord," he said, "but the menoo came from the Royal Star hotel, opposite-" Philip obtained no further news. He passed through an office, a voucher wax signed for him. and be emerged

Morning," "The Pillar of Etc EDWARD J. CLODI. Inter the "prison yafd, where trie huge prison van awaited him. He was the only occupant, just as on the first memorable ride in that conveyance. When he came to the prison from the police court he bad several companions in misery, but they were "stretched." His case was the only "remand." . During the long drive Philip endeavored to guess the cause of this unexpected demand for his presence. Naturally, he assumed that Johnson's Mews no longer held safe the secret of his meteor. Such few sensational romances as he had read credited detectives with superhuman sagacity. In his mind, Johnson's Mews was the center of the world. It enshrined the marvelous how could It escape the thousands of prying eyes that daily passed through the great thoroughfare of the East End but a few yards away? Judging from the remark dropped by the warder, all London was talking about him. A puzzling feature was the abundant supply of good food sent to him in prison. Who was his unknown friend and what explanation was attached to the incident? Philip's emotions were no more capable of analysis than a display of rockets. Immured in this cage, rattling over the pavements, be seemed to be advancing through a tunnel into an unknown world. At last the van stopped, and he was led forth into the yard of the police court. He followed the same route as on the previous Saturday, but when he ascended into the court itself he discovered a change. The magistrate, a couple of clerks and some policemen alone were present. The general public and the representatives of the press were not visible. He had scarcely faced the bench when the magistrate said: "You are set at liberty. The police withdraw the charge against you." Philip's eyes sparkled, and his breast heaved tumnltuously. For the life of him he could utter no word, but Mr. Abingdon helped him by quietly directing the usher to permit the lad to leave the dock and take a seat at the solicitors' table. Then, ' speaking slowly and with some gravity, he said: "Philip Morland that is the only name by which I know you the authorities have come to the conclusion that your story Is right. You have unquestionably found a deposit of diamonds, and, although this necessarily exists on some person's property, there is no evidence to show whose property It Is. It may be your own. It may be situated beyond the confines of this kingdom. There are many hypotheses, each of which may be true; but, in any event, if others lay claim to this treasure trove and I warn you that the crown has a right in such a matter the issue Is a civil and not a criminal one. Therefore you are discharged and your property Is now handed back to you intact." A clerk placed before Philip his parcel of diamonds, his key, the rusvy knife, the pieces of string and the two buttons truly a motley collection. The boy was pale and his voice somewhat tremulous as he asked: "May I go now, sir?" - Mr. Ablnadon leaned back in hi chair and passed his hand over hie face to conceal a smile. "I have something more to sj ' to you," he answered. "It is an offenso against the law to withhold your name and addresa. I admit the powerful motives which actuated you, so I make the very great concession that you; earlier refusal will be overlooked il you , privately tell me that which yoii were unwilling to state publicly." Philip instantly decided that it would be foolish in the extreme to refuse thi offer. He pocketed his diamonds, look ed the magistrate straight In the fac and said: "I will do that, sir. As the Informa tion is to be given to you alone, may i write it?" The policemen and other official sniggered at this display of caution but the magistrate nodded, and Phi!!' wrote his name and address on a sheer of foolscap, which he folded before handing it to the usher. . To his great surprise, Mr. Abingdon placed the paper in a pocketbook with out opening It. "I will make no use of this document unless the matter comes before me again officially. I wish to point out to you that I have brought you from pris on at the earliest possible moment and have spared you the publicity which your movements would attract were j our case settled in open court. You are not aware perhaps that you figure largely lq the eyes of the public at this moment. There are newspapers which would give a hundred pounds to get hold of you. There are thieves who would, shadow your every movement, waiting for a chance to waylay and rob you murder you if necessary. - have, taken precautions, therefore, to safeguard you, at least within; the pre cincts of this court, tout I cannot be re sponsible beyond Its limits. May ask what you intend to, do?" Philip, proud in the knowledge that he. was cleared of all dishonor, was at no loss for words, now. ' . , State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County. . sa. Frank J.

If you are willing to spend money on your fads you can find plenty of encouragement In them. No man say exactly what he means. To do that would require too much explanation and qualification. When you have no other reform to think about, here is one that is always important and timely: You talk too much.
