I believe that the public is entitled to know that it gets a fair stahdafd of service, and at a fair price, and that the corporation makes a fair business profit. I feel that the PUBLIC IS ALSO ENTITLED TO ASSURANCE THAT ITS LIFE, HEALTH AND PROP ERTY ARE SAFEGUARDED IN THE UTMOST DEGREE. I believe that the public and employees of the company are entited to know that ev­ ery possible safeguard is thrown about the life and health of the employees. I believe in a fair working out of Employer's Liability. I believe in putting the burden of TAXATION ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE PEOPLE WHO CAN BEST AFFORD TO BEAR IT, and who get the most benefit from the stability which this government offers to income and capital. I believe in an Income Tax exempting moderate incomes, and one in which the ratio of taxation--when the income is enjoyed by a private indi­ vidual--increases as the income itself increases in size. I believe in an Inherit­ ance Tax exempting moderate inheritances, but one in which the ratio of tax­ ation increases as the size of the inheritance itself increases. I believe in the conservation of all the national and state resources for the benefit of all the people. I BELIEVE IN PROTECTION, BUT I BELIEVE IN PROTECTION THAT REDUCES, AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, THE COST OF THE CHEAPER ARTICLES that are necessarily consumed by the poorer people and, if addi­ tional revenue must be raised from this source, that the tax on the LUXUR­ IES THAT ARE ENJOYED BY THE RICHER PEOPLE BE MADE TO STAND SUCH INCREASES, as far as possible. I believe in the principle advocated by President Taft when he caused the present Tariff Commission to be established. After this body has had an opportunity to gather its facts, this country, for the first time, will be able to approach tariff legislation from a fair and scientific standpoint and, for the first time, the schedules will be framed in the interest of the ultimate consumer, as well as in the interest of the producers. Heretofore no one has ever been heard on a tariff schedule excepting the producer. I believe in the integrity and ability of President Taft. I am NOT for Joseph G. Cannon for Speaker. To sum up my platform in one sentence, I AM A "PROGRESSIVE" REPUBLICAN AND BELIEVE IN THE POLICIES OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT, NAMELY, "A SQUARE DEAL FOR EVERYBODY." IRA C. COPLEY IT WILL PAY XOU TO DO SO. A Story of Father Mathew. "Father Mathew was the most lov- ine and lovable of human beings," aud in the light of this statement found in a biography of the famous Irish prieat by Mrs. Katherine Tynan Hinkson two incidents of his crusade for tem­ perance in the north of Ireland should be read. At Clones, in Ulster, there were two Oranpe flags raised when be visited it. Instead of considering it as an In­ sult. he thought it a very great com­ pliment, never having seen one or l>een honored with one before. When he saw them he called for three cheers for the Orange flag. Commenting on this, an Irish writer says: "A Cat hoik* priest calling for a cor- dial saiutmion of the Orange banner and a Catholic assembly heartily re­ sponding was something almost lneon- celvnMe. It had never occurred before in Ireland. I'm afraid it has never oc­ curred since." For the time being there were good will and friendly feeling from one end of Ulster to the other. One recruit who knelt for Father Mathew's bless­ ing said: "Ycu wouldn't be blessing me if yon knew what I am." "And what are you. my dear?" Fa­ ther Mathew called men, women and children "my dear." "I am ::n Orangeman, your rever­ ence." s "Why. God bless you, my dear,-I wouldn't care if you were a lemon man!" A Loat Ft«. The Right Hon. Augustine Birrell once believed that he had been smit­ ten with a mortal disease and went to consult a distinguished doctor who lived in the neighborhood of Harley street and who was a great expert on the disease of which he thought he was a victim. It was a hot day in July, and as he walked from his I^ondon home, which was in the neighborhood of Addison roau, to Flariey street he perspired freely. He found the great physician's rooms all crowded with patients-- probably, he thought, suffering from a similar complaint to himself. While waiting he found on the table a book written by the great physician on the subject of the particular dis­ ease. He opened the book, and the first words which caught his eye were these: "The patient who Is suffering from this disease never perspires." He had Scotch b lood in u i s ve in s , so he picked up his hat and gloves and walked out, and he never saw that/ eminent physician.--London Scraps. Reynard's Cunning, While crossing an old field waist high with withered mullein stalks, goldenrod and other weeds I noticed a dog within forty feet. He was part­ ly hidden by the grasses, but appeared to be a young, reddish brown setter, pottering along, smelling at this clump and that bunch of weeds and grad­ ually circling behind me. In a few minutes I heard a yell, "There goes a fox." Sure enough, over the top of a neighboring hill a hundred yards away went my "dog." It was a shrewd piece of work on his part to throw me off my guard by seeming indifferent and when behind me and out of sight to streak It for cover. I had probably disturbed him during his afternoon siesta. Many a fox have I hunted and killed, but this one fooled me com­ pletely. It forms a very pleasant rec­ ollection as an instance of brute sa­ gacity.--Forest and Stream. A Regimental Custom. A, peculiar custom obtains In the Twelth lancers--the playing of the Vesper hymn, the Spanish chant and the Russian national hymn every night of the year after the "last post" has sounded. It is said that the play­ ing of the Vesper hymn originated in one of the officers' wives presenting the regiment with a new set of instru­ ments on condition that the hymn was played every night after the "last post." The playing of the Spanish chant is declared to be a penance for sacking of a convent during the penin­ sular war. No reason is assigned for the playing of the Russian national anthem.--London Tit-Bits. A Quick Response. Mrs. Jones (a suffragette)--I don't ask special privileges, Mr. Jones. What I do ask is that you, for example, a man, should treat me exactly as you would another man. Instead of talking small talk and treating me like a thing to be protected, and all that, assume toward me the attitude you do to Mr. Warring­ ton. Treat me like a good fellow. Mr. Jones (quickly)--Why, certainly, old hap. Lend me a fiver, will you?-- London Graphic. Uae For Uniforms. "Do you think we ought to have a bigger army and a larger navy?" "Oh, yes," replied the beautiful girl. "It would be so nice If all the boys at the dances could appear In uniform, with epaulets and braided collars."-- Chicago Record-Herald. James H.
