It has been said that he used his power' for the nomination! and election of Mr. Taft In order to do this he would have to violate his civil service reform convictions. A Richmond man, Mr. W. D. Foulke, stands high in the councils of the Civil Service Reform League. This league has Investigated the actions of every president in regard to hla civil service actions. Before the campaign started Mr. Foulke went to the headquarters of the reform league and asked If there was any truth in the charges made against Roosevelt. There was absolutely no truth found in the statement that Roosevelt had used his influence in the civil service for Taft. Lucius B. Swift, of Indianapolis, comes forward with a full statement of the civil service in politics which shows up the falsity of the charges against Roosevelt in regard to Taft. "The attempt that has been made for many months and is still being made to hurt President Roosevelt in the good opinion of the people and to dls3 credit Mr. Taft because part cf the federal place holders work In politics for Taft is not creditable to those who are making it. The federal service has two divisions. One Is the classified service, which Is covered by the merit system and now embraces' 190,000 places. Over the head of every occupant of these places hangs an ax, and if he meddles in politics the ax falls and off comes his head. This fact is never mentioned by Mr. Bryan and Mr. Kern and the haters of President Roosevelt find Mr. Taft. Originally every place

holder was active in politics, and this continued even after the adoption of the merit system. Mr. Cleveland had a rule of modified activity which he did not enforce. He dismissed a republican and a democrat for violating that rule, and then reinstated the democrat left the republican out. When Mr. Roosevelt became president the at

tempt to keep the entire service out of politics had broken down. He took a frank and open stand. No man in the 190,000 places in the classified ser vice should meddle in politics, but the rest were left free to do so. I do not believe that any federal place holder should work in politics, and President Roosevelt does not believe in. it, but in his Judgment he carried the reform as far as it could be carried at the time. Considering the stupendous gain which has been made, due more to Roosevelt than to any other one Influence, no reformer who is not an ingrate will turn against him for this decision. The rest will come In good time and eventually measures requiring congressional action will be taken whereby the entire service will In effect be classified. "It is true that a largo number of members of the unclassified service have worked in politics this year, but they have been left entire freedom as to whom they shall work for. The charge that they have been "ordered" to work either before or since the nominations for any particular man, or that they have been used by President Roosevelt in behalf of any man, or that their freedom to work for any particular man has' been in the slightest degree abridged or that they have been in the least degree censured or would have run the least danger of losing their places for working for a man not In favor with the president Is absolutely without foundation. They have worked and now work, as they have always worked. They have worked no more than they have always worked, and every man woh has been familiar with the civil service or knows anything at all about It knows this to be true." But Mr. Swift does not stop here. What would Bryan do? What about Lamb and Taggart? Says Mr.. Swift: "Mr. Bryan Is silent as to what, if elected, he proposes to do with the classified civil service, which now embraces 100,000 places. This part of the service is covered by the merit. system. In 1896 and again in 1900 Mr. Bryani boldly declared for the destruction of that system. I gather from his speeches that he has never been wrong In any position he has taken on any public question free trade, tariff reform, free silver, public ownership of railroads, and of course the merit system. If he has ever frankly confessed that he was mistaken on any question I have been unable to discover it. Is he ready to confess that he was mistaken in proposing to destroy the merit sytem in 1896 and in 1900? It Is not an answer to say that the present Bryan platform proposes to enforce the law. That was In bothplatforms upon which Cleveland was elected, and in his first administration, thanks to his party leaders the law went to the dogs and when he enforced it in his second administration his party kicked him out and went over to Bryan. Cleveland was a friend of the law. The record is that Bryan is its declared enemy. "The history of civil service reform bristles with examples of how the law may be killed in administration. The Gormans and the Voorheeses have been succeeded by the Taggarta and the Lambs, mortal enemies of the merit system, and these are the men who are at the elbow of Mr. Bryan and who have his ear today. Mr. Taft's record needs no correction. In season and out of season, openly and without re servation, he has always been the out spoken friend of the law. We know what he will do. President Roosevelt has done more for the merit system than all other presidents together, and Mr. Tint will continue this along with the other Roosevelt policies. The merit system now extends into every corner of Indiana, and of the whole country It has proved itself the most democratic method of distributing public that has ever been- devised, and its good economic results aro beyond question. It has opened a vast field of employment which may be obtained without sacrifice of manhood before some big or little political boss. Voters who believe in this system and who want to see it maintained can not afford to vote to place it under control of its open enemies." And Marshall says: "To the victor belongs the spoils." WARNINGS. If there is anyone who believes that the cold standard is a good thing, or that it must be maintained, I warn him not to vote for me, because ! promise him that it will not be maintained in this country any longer than I am able to get rid of It. W. J. Bryan, at Knoxvllle, Tenn, Oct. 5, 1896. I notice that I am described by some as a conservative. I am more radical than I was In 1896 and have nothing

to withdraw on economic questions which have been under discussion. W. J. Bryan, sjfcondon, England, July 12, 1906. Here are two unequivocal statements from Mr. Bryan. One In 1896 the other in 1906. What is the logical Inference? That Bryan is just as radical as ever. He himself says so. He said it two years ago. Not only was this on his return from his world tour, but it was but a few days before he uttered his views about governmental ownership of railroads. That showed him as he really is. A radical of radicals "with nothing to withdraw on economic questions which have been under discussion." And yet these are the economic questions which unsettled the whole business world by mere contemplation and dread of them. A debased cur rency, a tariff for revenue only, and governmental ownership of railroads! Yet two years later, in this year of our Lord 1908 comes this same Mr. Bryan and poses for the matured man, whose continental tour has sobered him to such an extent that he refused to put any of these exploded theories into the platform which he himself was the author of. Be that as it may, no one can fail to see the wavering course and the zlg zag path that Bryan has followed. Mr. Bryan himself has given the warning that no one should vote for him who did not want them put in effect. Shall we believe Bryan's words, or shall we think he is only talking for votes. If he is merely talking without meaning It, what sort of man is that for the presidency. If he means it, it means that he, who has been twice repudiated, should be defeated this year as before, as the advocator of the most dangerous ' and Insidious perils which have ever been advanced in the history of the United States. Take warning! ' Bryan himself has given it If he is not sincere, what right has he for your vote. Take warning! The Bryan of 1908 Is the Bryan of 1896," with nothing to withdraw on economic questions which have been under discussion." Fores on the Piano. It has been calculated that a minimum pressure of the finger of onequarter of a pound Is needed to sound a note on the piano and that at times a force of five pounds is thrown on a single key to produce a single effect. Chopin's last study in O minor has a passage taking two minutes five sec- j onds to play that requires a total pressure estimated at three full tons. London Standard.

PROUD OF HIS RECORD

A WOMAN LINGUIST. Miss Elizabeth Colton Spsaks Six Languages Fluently. Ktos Elizabeth S. Colton, a New England girl, has just returned from India with the reputation of being the greatest woman linguist in the world. Before going to India she was a student In the classes of the leading orientalists of the University of Berlin, and before that she learned all that Harvard and Yale had to give of instruction in the languages of the east. Her early education was musical. modern languages being taken up as so j many tools in her musical education. I But her family objected to her chosen i career of a concert singer, and to con-' sole herself she took up the study of oriental languages. j Miss Colton first took up Semitic ' tongues and graduated with certificates from the American Institute of Sacred Literature in Hebrew, Arabic and Assyrian.' Then for two years she read classical Arabic and Assyrian inscrlp- j tlons with Professor Sanders of Tale university. Four ye.rs . ago she. en lerd Rtdtllffe coll(Lge a a BPeclal,Btu dent and because there ere no class es in the woman's college suited to her needs recited with the men at Harvard In Arabic, Pall and Sanskrit classes. In an Interview rbe Is quoted as saying: "I have studied fifty-four languages carefully and fifteen critically. Six I speak fluently, if you will. I took conversation lessons at Benares In Sanskrit, bat no one could speak Sanskrit with less than twelve years of practice. "There are very many more languages whose literature I read with ease, whose script I have learned to write and in which I could make myself understood. But to speak fluently Is quite another thing. I did receive calls in Persian and entertained a prince at afternoon tea In that language while I was at Peshawar. But It would be absurd to claim that I can speak Persian as well as Italian or French or Oerman or the others of which I really am mistress." Tuesday.

up over fearful hurdles. Naturally you feel as If you would like to shield your child from the hardships your boyhood knew. But that Is dangerous to the boy. Tou are likely to coddle and weaken him. Perhaps you let the chap sleep lats of mornings and his mother keeps the breakfast warm for him after the others have eaten. And he comes downstairs to find fault with his food and talks saucy. Look out! You are pampering the boy. You are padding things in order to save him discomfort He spends money he does cot earn. An estate Is being accumulate for him. All of which may be fatherly. But very unwise. Because you take away his chance to make a man. If be 1s to grow manliness he must strive against odds. He cannot learn to swim without going into the water. You want to save him from suffering? But suffering perfects character. If your boy Is to know the worth of a dollar he must earn It If he Is to know the thrill of success he must win it And mark this No man can get Into touch with those who strive who himself does not struggle. Lacking struggle, be will lack sympathy. And without personal touch and sympathy with others your boy can never be a man among men. You know that the world will give bo man room who doesn't climb up to get it Yet you keep your boy from climbing becanse, perforce, he must bll-ter his hands on the rounds. "Hard lines" for your boy 1 Even so. It Is hard lines for you, for me, for all of us. And we get self reliance and the fiber of strength by overcoming. Your boy Is no exception to the hard rule. Please remember this: Your sun fa made of the same sort of putty of which 'you are made. You were molded into the shape of success WHILE THE PUTTY WAS SOFT. Let the boy be molded NOW. When the material hardens It Is too late to try to mold it . Give your boy his chance. r Ood mm

THANKS TENDERED 10 THE PRESIDENT

Japanese Emperor Sends Word Of Appreciation to Roosevelt. TAKAHIRA TAKES MESSAGE. THOUGHT THAT MUCH HAS BEEN DONE TOWARD MAKING JAPANESE AND AMERICANS GREATER FRIENDS. Washington. Oct. 27. "I suppose heaven helps us to join our hands firmly," said Japanese Ambassador Korgor Takahlra with emotion, as he discussed the visit of the American fleet to Japan, which has just come to au end. Ambassador Takahira had a short while before returnins from the White House, where he was the guest of President Roosevelt at luncheon, and to whom he delivered a message of thanks from the Japanese emperor for that which the president sent as the fleet departed. The Baron personally thanked the president for having sent the fleet to Japanese waters, and said its visit had furthered to a great degree-the feeling of friendliness held by the Japanese for the people of the United States. Mrs. Roosevelt was present at the luncheon. The following is the text of the message from the emperor which Ambassador Takahira conveyed to President Roosevelt: "To the President of the United States of America: I thank you most sincerely for your very kind message which the American ambassador delivered to me upon the departure of the American fleet from our shores. I was highly gratified to learn that the reception accorded to the fleet was so satisfactory and agreeable to you and to the people of the United States. I desire to express my appreciation of your kindness in accepting the invitation of my government for the fleet to visit Japan, since by that I was afforded an opportunity to testify anew to you my high regard and esteem, and my subjects were enabled to give fresh proof of their sincere attachment for your countrymen, and I am very happy to believe that the good neighborhood between our two countries. I remain your good friend, Mutsuhito." Sailors Cheer. On Board the United States Battle Ship Louisiana, at Sea, By Wireless to Yokohama, Oct 27. The American j battleship fleet half of .lt bound for Amoy and the other half for the Philippines, dropped its Japanese es cort, consisting of the Katori, the Tsukuba and a ecouF, at 10:30 o'clock yesterday morning.

"You should count up the petals of the flower, and If the total is an nneveu number the answer will be In the negative; if an even number, in the affirmative."
