TB! DAYS' TRAVEL. FOR TAFT
Itinerary of Hla Wester Trip la
Nearly Completed.
CHICAGO Bept. U-Ten days of travel
ing, with almost constant apeaklng, ha
been arranged for William H. Taft, re
publican candidate for president. The trip
will be made, on a, special train, starting
frcm some : Illinois point, probably Chi
cago, about September 25. The tour wil!
extend r north as Minneapolis and
Fargo, N. t., aa far aouth as several

Mr. Taft will be bark to Chicago In time
to speak before the . DeepWaterways con

The Itinerary of Judge' Taft engaged the
atUntlon of Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock
of the republican naMonaf commlttoe as
eocn as he arrived here today from New
York. Political leaders were here to meet
the chairman from North, Dakota. South
Dukota. Utah, Minnesota," Kansas, Ter.
. nessee, Wisconsin and Kentucky, and the
representatives of several other states
communicated with headquarters ' by Inns
distance telephone. Every state In the
middle west haa made numerous demands
for Mr. Taft and the leadei have not hesi
tated to use a pessimistic note to bolster
up their argument that the ' republican
candidate la needed In order to make their
states safe. As result It was a difficult
task for Chairman Hitchcock and Senator
Dixon," director of tha speakers' bureau,'
to make Up satlafactory dates - At a late
hour tonight the Itinerary had not beea
concluded. It will be madu ' public 'to
morrow. Mr. Taft will speak in Cincinnati on Sep
tember 23 at tha convention of tha National
' League of Republloan Clubs. It is likely
that he will attend a rally being arranged
by Qeorge Ada, at hla ffcrm near .Brook,
Ind., tha data for which' will be arranged
to suit Mr. Taft'a convenience. This rally
is expected to be a novel affair and Mr.
Ada plana to have it before Mr. Taft starts
west. It la' possible,- also, that Mr. Taft
will make on' speech at Louisville. Ky.,
and another at some place In Tennessee be
fore tha tan days' trip Ut begun,

ranged for "Mr. Taft in each atate to be

through which the special train runs Mr.

him te do so. As Senator Dixon expressed
It today i "We are going to let the people

the father of Injunctions and an enemy of
labor. Instead of Oompers attempting to

are friends, why des he not give the facts

which, according to the story told by Mr.
Patterson, la platting put lota In a new
addition and asking the city to condemn
an dbuy a part of their land to run. a street
through the property. . The fact that .the
land could not be platted at all unless the
street was run through and that It has
been the custom for real estate dealers to
appropriate the land which they want for
a street waa overlooked by the promoters
of the new addition, according to the story

Investigate the matter and to require the
company to donate the land for the street

of t.hem tell me thit they do not Intend to
'obey orders and then go home and be cru

the roll rf. counties is called on the first
ballot a large number of delegates who are
supposed to be against the reneminatlon
of Governor Hughes will vote for him; In
fact, It would not surprise me to find the
vote on the Initial ballot almost a tie."
Look Akead to Election.
There can be no doubt that many of the
delegates opposed to Governor Hughee sin
cerely believe that the governor, even if
nominated, will be defeated at the polls,
and some of his bitterest opponents are
urging that the best way to obliterate him
as a factor in republican ' state nontin.
would be to concede him trie nomination
and at the polls send him to the Umbo of
defeated candidates. They argue also that
to repudiate the governor in thla conven
tion and go- (o a possible defeat with en
other candidate would be to make him
certain factor two years hence. The pos
sibility of tha governor's appearance In the
field as an Independent candidate, with the
attendant menace to the state and national
tickets. Is not overlooked. .
The plan which bad been tentatively
agreed upon by the antl-Hughea men 'when
they suspended operations last night was to
present In the convention is many names
nc possible with k view , to preventing a
nomination on the first ballot, and playing
for possible combinations to be made dur

felt was an hour full of hope' that "some

Eiectloa of Senators.
The second reason why Mr. Bryan itays
the people do not, rule is tlat we have
not direct election of senators, and he
holds the republican parly responsible for
not having procured an amendment to tha
constitution of the I'nlled Slates to pro
vide for that. There Is no more necessity
for an amendment to-the constitution pro
viding for the direct election of senators
than there is for an amendment to .the
constitution providing for the direct elec
tion of president. If 'the' people of"ahy
state wish any particular man to be chose.i
as senator, they havj only to Instruct their
legislature, as the people of a considerable
number of ' states' make" it their practice to
do now, and ne legislature will ever far a
moment, think of -disobeying, the Instruc
tions any more than presidential electors
violate their -obligation; The' proposed
amendment,--la aimply to' enable tho people
of each atate to escape, from tha perform
ance of the duty of; electing a legislature
that can be 'trusted. Are we prepared to
abandon . the- perturaiMce of that dutyT
Are we to aaaume,.UuU ,oje state leatslH- L

If so, whai becomes rof the 'government of
the state? Is that with all its multitude
of important 'duties rto 'be left' unfit? If
any siat legislature wanm-t iroW be trusted
the true feferm would, seem ito. he In the
direction of selecting the , irglalature.
Speaking for myself alone, I 'believe that
the selection of legislative ' candidates by
dlreet prlrnaiiua would b; a material lm
provement, and woultl greatly lucrease the
sense bf immediate ref.pohsibillty to their
constituents on' the -part of -ttie merlibers
of the state legislature. In, such primaries
the vctera could Instruct their candidates
if they saw fit, regarding tlie selection of
senators.- But that la a question the peo
ple of each state can,aettlu for themselves
without any amendment to. the constitu
tion, and however they settle It, they rule
In the way they prefer to rul; If any1 leg
lalature under the . constitution, . lo not
choose a senator who properjy iopresents
the people of the state, It ts because the
people of the state have failed In their
duty In the selection -of their legislature.'
Let them perform tb,jir duty under the
constitution as !t Is, " rather than ' clamor
lor an amendment to ' the constitution to
enable them to escape that duty. Jn 'tha
long run, to aecure good government we
must ultimately come down to the faithful
performance of duty by the pople of the
Country at the polla,-and no expedient or
-change of form will ta.ke the place of that
performance. .
Hales f National Honse. ' - '
"The third reason why the people1 'do1 hot
rule,, says Mr. Uryar la to ba found inr ttie
rules of the House of .Repreaentatves. The
Denver convention declared In Its platform
that it "observed with amazement the popu
lar branch of our federal government help
less to obtain either the consideration or
enactment of measures desired, by a, ma
jority of Its members." Who makes the
rules of the House Of Representatives?
Why, a majority of Its ; members, and a
majority can change them aa it will. Mani
festly, there must be rules to control the
conduct of the business1 of th house, or no
business -could be done. Over 80,000 bills
were Introduced in the last session of con
gress, and . there are 8MI members. If one
tnth of the members had attempted to
speak fire minutes each on one-tenth- of
the bills that were Introduced, working
eight hours a day for the average legisla
ture session and permitting the transac
tion or no otner nuuinens, they would have
been speaking still, and the term of office
of the entire congress would expire before
one-fourth of the one-tenth could be heard.
Plainly, there must be rulee to limit ora
tory, to provide for the selection of the
meoaurvs which shall come up for discus
sion, and to provide for tha transaction of
the real business of legislation. All legis
lative bodies have to adopt such rules, and
the larger the bodoy the more neoessary
are the rulea and the more stringent they
have to be. It la en Invariable Incident to
the transaction of all legislative business
that from time to time' members who are
not allqwed to talk as long and aa eften as
they please to tha exclusion of others and
who cannot have the measures they are
particularly Interested in acted upon in
preference to other measures, rise up and
cry out against: ths rules,-aa the demo
rrata are crying out agalnat them now.
The real trouble is that the democrats In
the House of Representatives are a minor
ity and cannot have their own way because
they are a piinority. Tha real .democrats
grievance lst not that the majority does not
rule, but that it does rule. The rules at
present if! force In the Mouse bf Represen-'
tatlves are tltose adopted-' under Speaker
Reed when the democratic members of tho
house had stopped all. .public business by
refusing to answer to their names and In
sisting. that unless they answered, although
pcisunally prusent, -they could not" be
counted aa mnlttng up a quorum. The
amassment with which' the democratic
party, observes that those rules are still In

who cannot furnish a character which
leads the community to trust him arid de
posit their money with him. If, however,
the sound and honest banks of the country
guarantee the deots of every bank.Va well
earned reputation fdr honesty and business
Judgment will no longer be neoessary aa a
part of the banker's capital. It will no
longer be necessary for the community tt
consider whether a banker is honest or
not. Any sualawag can start - a- bank and
obtain deposits on the credit of all the
banks of the country. Any one who! wishes
to use funds 1n speculative enterprises can
start a bank, invite deposit and tuu bor
row money on the credit of the entire
banking capital of the I'nlted States.
With such opportunities, who can doubt
that the standard of character of the bank
ers of the country, would deteriorate and
the- use- of banking funds for speculative
enterprises would Increase and that the
losses whioli the honest bankers would be
teiulre.1 to mfcke good would Increase cor
respondingly. . . . .

This burden will fall not merely upon the
Stockholders of the banks, but upon the
depositors also. Much banking capital
would Inevitably be driven out of the busi
ness and such as remained would hava to
make good Us losses by reducing the rate
of interest to Its depositors and Increasing
the rate of Interest upon loans, in prowa

The attempt to make all these profile of
good management bear all the losses of
bad management la a step In the socialistic
process which would level all distinction
between thrift, enterprise and aound Judg
ment on the one hand, and recklessness,
incapacity and failure on the other.

Where Is that Issue now? However tired
some Americana may be of the burden of
the Philippines, what must be our estimate
of the political wisdom and sense of
proportion- for - which in the year 1900 the
so-called question, of Imperialism filled the
horlion and obscured the sky a the one
paramount issue before the American peo-l
pie.
. On the 80th of August. 190(1. Mr. Bryan
announced upon his return from Europe,
aa the result of deliberate reflection, that
government ownership of railroads was
lhe cure all demanded by the public Inter
est. "I have reach 4 the conclusion," he
declared, ','that there .will; be no permanent
relief on'fhe railroad question from the dis
crimination ' between Individuals and be
tween places and from extortionate rates
until tha railroads are the pror. ty of the
government and are Operated by the gov
ernment In' the interest ot ' the people.'
That declaration he has repeated many
times In substance.
Herniation af Railroads.
The- republican party believes In the reg
ulation of railroads. It believes that their
managers ought to be made and can be
made to obey the law." It believes that by
an enforcement of the law,- not spasmodic
and sensational, but steady, firm and per
sistent, excessive and discriminating rates
can be stopped; and It Is now and has been
for a considerable period engaited In such
enforcement with marked efficiency and
success. It proposea for the presidency a
candidate who declares his purpose to con
tinue and complete' that enforcement of too
law and whose competency to do so with
succees has -been proved.- Mr. Bryan does
not believe In the regulation of railroads.
He rtoea not believe In practicable. He re
gards Is air bound to fall, although he Is
willing to orlttoise the republican party for
not accomplishing that . vast and compli
cated task ell at once. x.
