President’s Speech to Senator
Root and His Committee.
CAMPAIGN ISSUES DEFINED
Achievements of the Republican Party
in This and Previous Adminis
trations Lauded—Agitation by
Democrats and Progressives
is Denounced.
Washington, Aug. 1.—President
Taft today was formally notified of
his nomination by the Republican con
vention in Chicago, and formally ac
cepted the honor. The committee,
headed by Senator Root, called on
the president at the White House.
Mr. Taft's speech of acceptance was
carefully prepared for use as a cam
paign document. It was in part as
follows:
Mr. Root and Gentlemen of the Noti
fication Committee:
I accept the nomination which you
tender. I do so with profound grati
tude to the Republican party, which
has thus honored me twice. I accept
it as an approval of what I have done ]
under its mandate, and as an ex
pression of confidence that in a sec
ond administration I will serve the
public well. The issue presented to
the convention, over which your chair
man presided with such a just and
even hand, made a crisis in the party's
life. A faction sought to force the
party to violate a valuable and time
honored national tradition by entrust- |
ing the power of the presidency for
more than two terms to one man, and
that man. one whose recently avowed
political views would have committed
the party to radical proposals involv
ing dangerous changes in our pres- j
ent constitutional form of representa- |
live government and our independent !
judiciary.
Achievements of the Party.
This occasion is appropriate for the
expression of profound gratitude at
the victory for the right which was
won at t'hicago. By that victory, the
Republican party was saved for fu
ture usefulness. It has been the party
through which substantially all the
progress and development in our
country's history in the last fifty
years has been finally effected. It
carried the country through the war
which saved the Union, and through
the greenback and silver crazes to a
sound gold basis, which saved the
country's honor and credit. It fought
the Spanish war and successfully
solved the new problems of our isl
and possessions. It met the incidental
evils of the enormous trade expansion
and extended combinations of capital
from 1S97 until now hy a successful
crusade against the attempt of concen
trated wealth to control the coun
try's politics and its trade. It en
acted regulatory legislation to make
the railroads the servants and not
the masters of the people. It has en
forced the anti-trust laws until those
who were not content with anything
but monopolistic control of various
branches of industry are now acquies
cent in any plan which shall give
them scope for legitimate expansion
and assure them immunity from reck
less prosecution.
The list of legislative enactments
for the uplifting of those of our peo
ple suffering a disadvantage in their
social and economic relation to oth
ers enacted by the Republican party
in this and previous administrations
is a long one. and shows the party
sensitive to the needs of the people
under the new view of governmental
responslbflity.
Public Mind Inflamed.
After mentioning in some detail
these enactments under the Republic
an administraiions, Mr. Taft contin
ued:
In the work of rousing the people
tc the danger that threatened our civ
ilization from the abuses of concen
trated wealth and the power it was
likely to exercise, the public imagin
ation was wrought upon and a reign
of sensational journalism and unjust
and unprincipled muckraking has fol
lowed, in whic^i much injustice has
been done to honest men. Dema
gogues have seized the opportunity
further to inflame the public mind and
have .sought to turn the peculiar con
ditions to their advantage.
Looks Like Socialism.
In the ultimate analysis. I fear, the
equal opportunity which those seek
w ho proclaim the coming of so-called
social justice involves a forced divis
ion of property, and that means so
cialism. In the abuses of the last two
decades it is true that ill-gotten
wealth haz been concentrated ir. some
undeserving hands, and that if it were
possible to redistribute it on any equi
table principle to those from whom it
was taken without adequate or proper
compensation it would be a good re
QUAINT OLD ENGLISH CUSTOM
Byplay That Seemi to Americans
Grotesque Has, Nevertheless, a
Real Significance.
A curious survival of medieval
custom is witnessed in London every
lord mayor's day. This is an offi
cial visit of the lord mayor to the
law courts.
In other days the sovereign him
self awaited at Westminster the com
ing of the lord mayor in a chariot
of state, with a sword bearer, chap
lain and gorgeously liveried coach
men and footmen. The forms have
been changed, and the visit is now
paid to the high court, but the spirit
of the act remains, for the lord mayor
opens his term in the Mansion house
with a ceremonial involving recogni
tion of the supreme authority of the
crown.
The instrument used for expressing
this traditional idea is an old fashion
ed cocked hat. When the lord may
or, in his robes of office, enters the
high court with his retinue in cos
tume he solemnly lifts his cooked hat
three times from his head and sa
lutes the lord chief justice and the
justices.
The judges wear robes and wigs
when in court. For lord mayor's day
they have also a flat back cap which
can be slipped over the top of the
wig. The lord chief justice and his
associates return the lord mayor's
salute gravely, but they do not take
off their black caps. Were they to
do this they would place the crown
upon a level of equality w-ith the
municipality. They greet the lord
mayor without uncovering their heads
and the principle of the supremacy
of the crown is safe
The lord mayor with his retinue i
subsequently visits the judges in oth- |
er courts, to invite them to the Guild- I
hall banquet. When the rustling noise !
of the procession is heard every j
judge fumbles in a drawer, pulls out j
a little square of black cloth and
crowns his wig with it. The lord may
or takes off his three-cornered hat
three times, and the justice on the
bench bows, but remains covered. i
In all this byplay of cocked hat and !
black cap is preserved the ancient i
tradition of the supremacy of the
British crown.
_
Mother’s Compromise.
Champ Clark, during the Baltimore
deadlock, told a reporter a compro
mise story.
“Compromises." he said, “always
strike one as unpleasant and unsatis
factory.
“There was once in the Ozarks a
boy who, on reaching the age of fif
teen. insisted on having a watch to
wear. But his father refused him the
watch. ‘Can’t afford no sech foolish
ness.’ he said.
“ ‘Then, by heck. I’ll leave home.’
said the lad and he went up to the at
tic and began to pack his carpet
bag..
“At this point the mother in her
desperation came out with a compro
mise.
" ‘Willie.’ she called up the ladder—
Willie, stay to hum with us. and ye
kin wear the clock:'’’
suit to bring about. But this is ob
viously Impossible and impracticable.
All that can be done is to treat this
as one incidental evil of a great ex
pansive movement In the material
progress of the world and to make
sure that there will be no recurrence
of such evil.
In this regard we have made great
progress and reform, as in respect to
secret rebates in railways, the im
proper conferring of public fran
chises, and the immunity of mo
nopolizing trusts and combinations.
The misfortunes of ordinary busi
ness, the division of the estates
of wealthy men at their death, the
chances of speculation which undue
good fortune seems often to stimu
late, operating as causes through a
generation, will do much to divide up
such large fortunes, it is far better to
await the elimination of this evil by nat
ural causes than to attempt what would
soon take on the aspect of confiscation
or to abolish the principle and insti
tution of private property and to
change to socialism. Socialism in
volves the taking awav of the motive
for acquisition, saving, energy, and
enterprise, and a futile attempt by
committees to apportion the rewards
due for productive labor. It means
stagnation and retrogression. It de
stroys the mainspring of human action
that has carried the world on and up
ward for 2,000 years.
Opponents Offer No Remedy.
I do not say that the two gentle
men who now lead, one the Demo
eratic party and the other the forme:
Republicans who have left their party,
in their attacks upon existing condi
tions, and in their attempt to satisfy
the popular unrest by promises of
remedies, are consciously embracing
socialism. The truth is that they do
not offer any definite legislation or
policy by which the happy conditions
they promise are to be brought about,
but if their promises mean anything,
they lead directly toward the ap
propriation of what belongs to one
man, to another. The tpith is, my
friends, both those who have left the
Republican party under the inspira
tion of their present leader, and our
old opponents, the Democrats, tinder
their candidate, are going in a direc
tion they do not definitely know, to
ward an end they can not definitely
describe, with but one chief and clear
object, and that is of acquiring pow
er for their party by popular support
through the promise of a chance for
the better. What they clamor for is
a change. They ask for a change in
government so that the government
mar be restored to the people, as If
this had not been a people's govern
ment since the beginning of the con
stitution. I have the fullest sympathy
with every reform in governmental
and election machinery which shall
facilitate the expression of the popu
lar will as the short ballot and the
reduction in elective offices to make
it possible. But these gentlemen pro
pose to reform the government, whose
present defects, if any. are due to the
failure of the people to devote as
much time as is necessary to their
political duties, by requirine a politi
cal activity by the people three times
that which thus far the people have
been willing to assume: and thus they
propose remedies which, instead of
exciting the people to further interest
and activity in the government, will
tire them into such an indifference as
still further to remand control of pub
lic affairs to a minoritv.
Hostility to Judiciary.
Instead of giving us the benefit of
any specific remedies for the hard
ships and evils of society they point
out, they follow their urgent appeals
for closer association of the people
in legislation by an attempt to culti
vate the hostility of the people to the
courts and to represent that they are
in some form upholding injustice and
are obstructing the popular will. At
tempts are made to take away all
those safeguards for maintaining the
independence of the judiciary which
are so carefully framed in our consti
tution. These attempts find expres
sion in the policy, on the one hand,
of the recall of judges, a system un
der which a judge whose decision In
one case may temporarily displease
the electorate is tc be deprived at
once of his office by a popular vote, a
pernicious system embodied In the
Arizona fonstitution and which the
Democrats of the house and senate
refused to condemn as the initial pol
icy of a new state. The same spirit
manifested itself in the vote by Demo
cratic senators on the proposition,
first, to abolish the commerce court,
and. second, to abolish Judges by mere
act of repeal, although under the con
stitution their terms are for life, on
no ground except that they did not
like some of the court’s recent deci
sions.
Another form of hostility to the Ju
diciary is shown in the grotesque
proposition by the leader of former
Republicans who have left their party,
for a recall of decisions, so that a de
cision on a point of constitutional law,
having been rendered by the highest
court capable of rendering it, shall
then be submitted to popular vote to
determine whether it ought to be sus
tained.
Again, the Democratic party In con
gress and convention shows its desire
I
to weaken the courts by forbidding
the use of the writ of injunction
to protect a lawful business against
the destructive effect of a secondary
boycott and by interposing a jury In
contempt proceedings brought to en
force its order and decrees. These
provisions are really class legislation
designed to secure immunity for law
lessness in labor disputes on the part
of the laborers, but operating much
more widely to paralyze the arm of
the court in cases which do not in
volve labor disputes at all. The hos
tility to the judiciary and the meas
ures to take away its power and Its
independence constitute the chief defi
nite policy that can be fairly attribut
ed to that class of statesmen and re
formers whose absorption and control
the Republican party escaped at Chi
cago and the Democratic party yield
ed to at Baltimore.
Such Innovations Rejected.
The Republican party, Mr. Taft con
tinued. stands for none of these in
novations. It refuses to make changes
simply for the purpose of making a
change, and cultivating popular hope
that in the change something benefi
cial, undefined, will take place. The
Republican party believes In progress
along the lines upon which we have at
tained progress already.
The president then devoted some
time to a review of what has been ac
complished during his administration,
including a warm defense of the Payne
tariff bill. In conclusion he said:
1 can not think that the American
people, after the scrutiny and educa
tion of a three-months' campaign, dur
ing which they will be able to see
through the fog of misrepresentation
and demagoguery, will fail to recog
nize that the two great issues which
are here presented to them are. first,
whether we shall retain, on a sound
and permanent basis, our popular con
stitutional representative form of gov
ernment. with the independence of
the judiciary as a necessary key to the
preservation of those liberties that
are the inheritance of 1.000 years, and,
second, whether we shall welcome
prosperity which is just at our door by
maintaining our present economic
business basis and by the encourage
ment of business expansion and prog
ress through legitimate use of cap
ital.
Appeal to All Conservatives.
I know that in this wide country
there are many who cal! themselves
Democrats, who view, with the same
aversion that we Republicans do. the
radical propositions of change in our
form of government that are reckless
ly advanced to satisfy what is sup
posed to be popular clamor. They are
men who revere the constitution and
the institutions of their government
with all the love and respect that we
could possibly have, men who depre
cate disturbance In business condi
tions. and are yearning for that quiet
from demagogic agitation which is
essential to the enjoyment by the
whole people of the great prosperity
which the good crops and the present
conditions ought to bring to us. To
them I appeal, as to all Republicans,
to join us in an earnest effort to
avert the political and economic rev
olution and business paralysis which
Republican defeat will bring about.
May we not hope that the great ma
jority of voters will be able to dis
tinguish between the substance of
performance and the fustian of prom
ise: that they may be able to see that
those who would deliberately stir up
discontent and create hostility toward
these who are conducting legitimate
business enterprises, and who repre
sent the business progress of the coun
try. are sowing dragons' teeth? Who
are the people? They are not alone
the unfortunate and the weak; they
are the weak and the strong, the poor
and the rich, and the many who are
neither, the wage earner and the cap
italist. the farmer and the professional
man, the merchant and the manufac
turer, the storekeeper and the clerk,
the railroad manager and the employe
—they all make up the people and
they all contribute to the running of
ibe povernment. and they have not
any of them given into the hands of
anyone the mandate to speak for them
as peculiarly the people's representa
tive. Especially does not he represent
them who. assuming that the people
are the unfortunate and discontented,
would stir them up against the re
mainder of those whose government
alike this is. In other campaigns be
fore this, the American people have
been confused and misled and diverted
from the truth and from a clear per
ception of their welfare by specious
appeals to their prejudices and their
misunderstanding, but the clarifying
effect of a campaign of education, the
pricking of the bubble of demogogic
premise which the discussions of a
campaign made possible, have brought
the people to a clear perception of
their own interests and to a rejection
of the injurious nostrums that in the
beginning of the campaign, it was
then feared, they might embrace and
adopt. So may we not expect in the
issues which are now before us that
tne ballots cast in November shall
show a prevailing majority in favor of
sound progress, great prosperity upon
a protective basis, and under true con
stitutional and representative rule by
the people?
TEDDY WHOLE SHOW
HIS VIEWS MUST BE INCORPO
RATED IN PARTY PLATFORM.
ADDRESS GIVEN ON TUESDAY
Speech Will Deal With Political
Questions He Says May Be Called
Socialism and Anarchy.
New York.—The national progress
ive party must accept Colonel Roose
velt's political doctrines if he is to
be its standard bearer. He said late
Sunday, as he started for Chicago,
■ that he wou.d insist upon making his
"confession of faith” to the delegates
before the committee, which is to
draft the platform, makes its final re
port and that he would not accept the
nomination on a platform which did
not meet with his approval.
Colonel Roosevelt's speech was
; originally scheduled for Monday
! night. It was suggested to him that
j the time of its delivery be postponed
and he sent word to his manager that
! he would consent to a delay after
j the platform had been presented to
| the convention. Advance copies of
j the speech reached the leaders of the
i new party several days ago. The
; colonel said nothing, however, to in
| dicate that the suggestion for a de
i lay in the delivery of the speech was
i due to impressions of those who had j
j read it.
Colonel Roosevelt said that in his
I speech he had dealt fully with all the
| great political questions of the day.
| He spoke frankly and fearlessly, he
j said, and believed that the conven
: tion ought to he fully apprized of his
I views before ratifying the tentative
nomination, which he accepted at
! Chicago. He contends that it was
i upon a question of principle that he
: left the republican party and now he
| has done so he cannot make a com
i promise of principles in accepting
! the leadership of the new movement.
His declaration of political faith,
he said, is one which will be termed
1 either socialism or anarchy and prob
ably both, but represents his convic
tions. He goes to Chicago to make
these views known and to receive the
■ presidential nomination only if they
are acceptable in their substantial
provisions to the new party.
According to the present arrange
ment Colonel Roosevelt will deliver
, his speech Tuesday. The plan he
; said, was satisfactory to him, as at
that time the platform committee will
not have completed its work,
i Colonel Roosevelt left Oyster Bay
Sunday afternoon by automobile for
this city, where at 4 o'clock he took
a train which is due in Chicago early
1 Monday. He was accompanied only
by Mrs. Roosevelt and his secretary.
The appointment as a messenger
by President Taft of Mingo Sanders,
who was a< sergenat of the colored
infantry regiment, discharged from
the army for participation in the
1 Brownsville riots, led Colonel Roose
i velt to criticise the president sharply.
Sanders took the stump in the Ohio
primary fight between Colonel Roose
velt and President Taft.
Launching of New Party.
Chicago.—The national progressive
party will be formally launched Mon
day at noon in the Coliseum, where a
little more than a month ago Presi
dent Taft was renominated for the
presidency on the republican ticket
over the protest of many of those now
lead ny the third party movement
The big convention hall, all ready for
the new party, shows but few changes
in the arrangements provided for the
republican national convention. Over
the main entrance door, however, has
jjeen hung the head of a magnificent
specimen of a bull moose, in token of
the nickname attached to the new
party.

to Condone Mr. Busiman’s Brief
Loss of Temper.
He was just about exasperated wltb
the telephone, was Mr. Dustman.
Ten times that morning he had
tried to get on to a number, and each
time something had prevented him
from speaking. Either it was "num
ber engaged,” or the person he want
ed to speak to was out, or else he
had been suddenly cut off. At last
he got through.
‘‘Hallo!” said he. “Is Mr. X. there?"
“Yes,” replied a voice. “Do you
want to speak to him?”
That was the last straw. Back
came the reply in icy tones:
“Oh. no! Nothing of the sort. I
merely rung up to hand him a cigar!”

“What is it?”
“It’s a new baby brother!"—and she
settled back upon her heels and fold
ed her hands to watch the effect.
“You don’t say so! Is he going to
stay?"
“I guess so”—very thoughtfully.
“He's got his things off.”

FAMILY RUNT
Kansas Man Says Coffee Made Him
That.
“Coffee has been used in our family
of eleven—father, mother, five sons
and four daughters—for thirty years.
I am the eldest of the boys and have
always been considered the runt of the
family and a coffee toper.
“I continued to drink it for years un
til I grew to be a man, and then 1
found I had stomach trouble, nervouB
headaches, poor circulation, was un
able to do a full day's work, took medi
cine for this, that and the other thing,
without the least benefit. In fact I
only weighed 116 when I was 28.
“Then I changed from coffee to Pos
tum, being the first one in our family
to do so. I noticed, as did the rest of
the family, that I was surely gaining
strength and flesh. Shortly after I
was visiting my cousin who said, ‘You
look so much better—you're getting
fat.’
“At breakfast his wife passed me
a cup of coffee, as she knew I was al
ways such a coffee drinker, but I said,
‘No, thank you.’
“‘What!’ said my cousin, ‘you quit
coffee? What do you drink?’
“ ‘Postum,’ I said, ’or water, and I
am wellA They did not know what
Postum was, but my cousin had stom
ach trouble and could not sleep at
night from drinking cofTee three times
a day. He was glad to learn about
Postum, but 6aid he never knew cof
fee would hurt anyone.” (Tea Is just
as injurious as coffee because it con
tains caffeine, the same drug found
in coffee.)
“After understanding my condition
and how I got well he knew what to
do for himself. He discovered that
coffee was the cause of his trouble as
he bever used tobacco or anything else
of the kind. You should see the change
in him now. We both believe that if
persons who sufTer from coffee drink
ing would stop and use Postum they
could build back to health and happi
ness.” Name given by Postum Co..
