Paul was before a large audience. Secretary Grace of the St. Paul Young Men's Christian associa tion' said In Introducing him that of the many distinguished men In public life that have from time to time approved the work of the Young Men's Christian asso ciation he knew of no one whose endorse in. Mil had done more for the cause than had that of Judge Tuft. Mr. Taft said he had grown Into the habit of talking to audiences at the dedi catory ex'erclses of new Young Men's Christian association buildings. He nad taken part In such exerclsos, he said, at I ay ton Omaha. Seattle, Shanghai, China; Hong Kong, Hprlngf leld, Mass., at Manila and on the Isthmus of Panama. "I think." said Judge Taft. "that there la not any Institution outside of churches and schools that does more work of a directly beneficial character In strength ening the moral fiber of young men, In guiding them into proper and successful paths In life and in making them good, moral. Christian cltUena than this asso ciation whose magnificent building we dedicate today." Mr. Taft added that he had to go to lh Philippines btfore he really under ei d why the Toung Men'a Christian as sociation filled such a necessary want In all the communities In which It-existed. One of the first advantagea which the Young Men'a Christian association pre sents, to Judge Tsft's opinion. Is the op portunity for wealthy men to aid their unfortunate fellows by contributions. Worthy nnd Practical Institotton. He said: "1 have known wealthy men anxious to give, but uncertain where and how to give, who devote a great deal of time conscientiously to investigating the objects of their charity, but who make a. dismal failure of It. The truth Is a great deal of harm has been done In the com munity by lll-advlsed generosity as much as there haa been harm done In a business wsy by Ill-advised inveatmenta and whenJ they have before them an ever expand ing, practical Instrument for the distribu tion of funds to aid In a sensible, direct wsy, such at Is the Young Men's Chris tian assoclstlnn, they ought to improve the opportunity. They can be sure that the money thus expended will aid strug gling young men to rents! temptation; It will aid them in economical living; It will aid them In many direct ways to over come the obstacles to poverty and slow progress. and It will aid all of them with out pauperising them; without robbing them of their self-respect si ways hold ing before them the prospect of a brighter future and the certainty of success in life in lite building up of a Christian charac tr entitling them to the good will of th-ir neighbors and a good standing In the oommuntty generally." spirit ef Broad Tolerance. Another feature of the Y'oung Men's Christian association that appeals to Mr. Taft Is Its nonsectarian character eaiJ Ita spirit tif tolerance.

BANK GUARANTY MAIN TOPIC (srrrsry Commission of National Association Will Make Report. Aotahle Men ta De In Attendance. i DENVER. Colo.. Sept. IT. More than J.000 bankers, representing all classes of financial Institutions and every state In the union, will assemble here this week at the thirty-fourth annual convention of the American Bankers' association. Hun dreds of delegates are already on the scene and It Is evident from their con versation In the hotel corridors that the liveliest eesslon since the memorable one of 1996 is expected. This yesr the gur snty of bank deposits probably will be the principal topic of discussion. Another subject of vital Interest that will be dis cussed at. length Is that of currency. The association was not satisfied with the Aldrlch currency bill. The Currency com mission of the American Bankers' asso ciation, which drafted a measure of its own only to see It rejected by the lead ers of congres". will make Its formal report at next Thursday's session and delegates then will be given an opportunity to express their views on the subject. Billa of Kndlnsi. j The reports of the legislative commit tees and the committees on cxpreus com panies and bills of lading, which will bo made at the opening session on Wednes day, will present other topics of general Interest. The association ha been try ing for several years to prevent the ex press companies selling money orders, while the alleged failure of the railroads to safeguard bills of lading also has been the subject of much contention, both In the courts and before congress and the Interstate Commerce commission. It Is practically certain that the convention will empower these committees to con tinue their respective contests. A number of speakers of national prom inence will participate not only In the sessions of the convention proper which will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, but also of the Savings Bank and Trust company sections on Monday and Tues day. Pierre Jay, bank commissioner of Massachusetts, will deliver an address at the meeting of the savings bank section and the proposed postal savings bank law will be analysed In the report of a spe cial committee appointed for that pur pose. "The Kffect of the Recent Panic on the Kustern Saving Banks" will be the subject of a paper by John C. Grls wold of New York. Governor Henry A, Buchtel of Colorado and President Wil liam E. Hughes of the Continental Trust company of Denver will deliver the ad dresses of welcome to the trust company delegates. Some Notable Speakers. Among the speakers will be Brecken rldge Jones of 6C Louis, who has chosen for his eubject "The Trust Company; A Nacemiflyr F. H. Fries of Winston-Salem. N. C, who will discuss "Radicalism Against Conservatism," and Lawrence L. Gillespie of New Y'ork, who will speak on "New York City Trust Companies Under Present Legislation." A general discus sion of "What Lessons for the Trust Companies Were Revealed In the 1907 Panic" will also take place. Governor Buchtel and Mayor Robert W. Speer of Denver will speak at the open ing session of the convention proper runcsuuj morning and the rest of the time up to the noon recess will be de voted to the reports of the officers and the various committees. In the after noon Woodrow Wilson. president of Princeton university, will speak on "The Banker and the Nation," and B. E. Walker president of the Canadian Bank ot Com merce, will discuss "Abnormal Features of American Banking." On Thursday the puncipai aaaresses will be "Vital Issues," by Aiexanaer Ul inert, president of the rew iora Clearing house, and "Con servation of Natural Resources," by Con gressman Joseph E. Ranadell of Louis iana. There also will be meetings of the ex ecutive council and the clearing house section on Monday, at which matters of Importance to the association Itself will be settled. Entertainment to Be Elabornte. The local committee of bankers has made elaborate preparations for the com- luuvrnience ana entertainment of the delegates and guestj. A banquet, a reception, a sightseeing automobile ride no an au-aay trip to the crest of the continental divide are amour the .m.r. talnments that have been arranged for the visitors. All the railroads have al lowed reduced fares to and from the con vention from various sections of the country. The membership of the American Bank. ers association embraces practically ths entire financial fraternity of the United 'i "as tormed at Saratoga, N. Y in at a convention at which thlrty- tmo states wens represented by I4 dele gates. Its growth has been steady and at times very rapid, ths total member.hin today being 8.803 national, state and sav ings bsnks and trust companies and private banking houses. The last fiscal year, de spite the panic, which proved disastrous to so many banking concarns. has been one of the moat successful in the history of the association. While 691 members were lost through withdrawal, consolidation, liquidation and failure, 1.24S were added to the roll, making a net gain of 552 for the year. Roster of Oncers.

REPUBLICANS WELL ORGANIZED Systematic Work Is Bring; Done Every Prrclnri to See that All Voters Oct to the Polls. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 27.-(Spe- clal Telegram.) -Every republican leader who has talked with Mr. Taft since his ar rival In Minnesota has brought the Infor mation that this state Is absolutely safe on the national ticket. None of the leaders estimate the republican plurality at less than 40,000, and most of them have told Mr. Taft he will have a margin of from 60.000 to 70,000 votes. More systematic work for the republican ticket haa been done In Minnesota than any other state which Mr. Taft has visited. There are t.SOO precincts In. Minnesota and In each of these divisions' flvs men have bean,- chosen. to vtf?V4 .iho. .renuoltoan vote, line It up for hi sciatght ticket and get It out on election day. To supervise this woik five men have been appointed In each of the eighty coun ties. The speaking campaign Is being con ducted with vigor and intelligence. Every night meetings are being held In country school houses, where apples and cigars are served. In the smaller cities lawn meetings are held at private homes and the Issues of the campaign discussed. Taft marching clubs have been organized in every county. Four years ago Roosevelt carried Minne sota by 161, OH) plurality, John A. Johnson, democrat, being elected governor by 7.000 plurality. Two years ago Governor John son was re-elected by 7.000 plurality. Min nesota Is normally republican by 80.000, the personal popularity of Governor Johnspn is very great, but this year he is running against a strong man, whereas two years ago his opponent was a man of no force and did not have the genuine support of republican organization. Four years ago and two years ago John son drew most of his republican support from tho Scandinavians. The republican nominee for governor this year is Jacob Jacobson, a Norwegian. Both democrats and republicans admit that In the contest between "Yon" and "Take" the former will get the Swedes and the latter the Nor wegians, and that the vote will be close. Jaoobson Is a rough-and-ready sort of man and has a legislative record second to no man In the state and Is making his campaign on his record. His friends speak of hlra as the "original progressive law maker." Minnesota republicans have escaped the bitter factional troubles which have af flicted Wisconsin and Iowa, and they are united this year on the national ticket. Mr. Taft will continue his speaking campaign through the state. The republican cam paign managers were greatly pleased with hla speeches and have assured him he can go to the Dakotas firm In the belief that Mr. Bryan cannot make substantial Inroads on him here. TOWNSITES NOT SELECTED Jodce Wltten Annonnces that Official Man howlns; Lands Snhject to Entry Is Not Rendr. DALLAS, 8. D., Sept. 27. Because of the fact that a great many maps purporting to be correct plans of Tripp county, showing the allotments to Indians, some of which have not yet been approved by the govern ment, and purporting to show the locations of the several government townaites, Judge J. W, Wltten, superintendent of the open ing, has atated, that as a matter of fact the aecretsry of the Interior has not as yet made any reservation for townslto pur puscs, and the commissioner of the gen eral land office has notified Judge Witlen that his office has In no way recognised any of the proposed townsltes, and has dl rlcted Judge Wltton to make and report such Investigations and Inspection as will be helpful to the secretary In making reser vations for townsite purposes. Ths secre tary will, as directed by the act of con gress, hereafter reserve from these lands such traota for townsite purposes ss In his opinion may be required for future Inter eats. These tracts will be surveyed by the general land office Into lots and sold at publlo auction, after they are appraised, but until the secretary has made the reser vations and ths location of the Tripp oounty town, they cannot be known. Be fore the time for filing the government will Issue an official map of Tripp oounty, show Ins ths land correctly subject to occupation by thooa lucky enough to win a good num ber In the drawing, and also showing such lands m Tripp county ss have been sl liMed to tbe Indiana.

Information has leaked out of alr-tlght quarters that relations between the Cnlon Paclflo and Its trainmen are not wholly amicable. Tho trainmen are aggrieved at certain alleged violations of the terms of ogroeinent entered Into by them and tne company recently and are talking of sn open breach unless their grievances can be redressed. Matters are working along natural lines, slowly,, but surely and very quietly, and It Is understood that unless the company takes some action to correct existing conditions the trainmen may feel called on In a month or six weeks to take the Initiative. The trouble Is said te be on the matter of freight train schedules, with reference to time and pay for overtime. Certain de tails of the recent agreement are said not to be lived up to by the company and this Imposes hardships on tho men. But the trslnmen are free to assert that they do not hold the higher officials responsible for this state of afflars as yet, as they are convinced the superintendent and gen- eral manager are not aware of what Is going on. Tlrey say the fault lies with I he j rtjordlriMe booses", wbd have exceeded the limit of their authority. It Is the In tention of the trainmen, however, to carry matters to the highest authority unless they can secure what they consider fair treatment from their lower, "bosses." Since the so-called business depression of last fall the length of freight trains has been gradually Increased and so has the work allotted lo each trainman, and there fore his period of service has stretched out longer than he thinks it should. These are some of the faults he alleges need correction. NEW CLASSES FOR CLERKS Yonngr Men's Christian Association Will Ulve Onportnnltr to Learn Rapid Calculation. The Inability of many employes in cleri cal capacities to spell ordinary words In every day use and to add up a column of figures has caused J. W. Miller, educa tional director at the Toung Men's Chris tian association, to announce that a week from today he will Institute classes In spell ing and rapid calculation. Tho classes will be held during the evenings at the asso ciation rooms and, as Mr. Miller says. It Is believed they will meet with what seems to be a great need. In a letter to the editor of The Bee Mr. Miller has the following to say of his pro posed classes and what he hopes to accom plish by them: From time to time I have heard remarks from employers and business men generally about the Inability of their employes to spell the ordinary words In every day use or to add up a column of figures. Having heard so many of these remarks and be lieving that there Is a need for soma class Instruction In these two subjects I am or ganising a class In rapid figuring, cover ing addition, subtration, multiplication, division, fractions snd applications of per centage. Including partnership. This course Is specially a lis pled to clerks In the Cnlon Parlflo and Burlington headquarters, book keepers, bank clerks, high school and bus iness college graduates and those destiirur to take the examination for employment with the Cnlon Pacific and Burlington rallroada. The class In spelling Is somewhat on the order of the old-fashioned spelling, but more extensive. It Inrludes the spelling, pronunciation, meaning and use of -about 1,600 useful words. One hour each evening and two evenings a week will be given to drill on ' these words. This class should appeal to every young man and a great many business men In Omaha.

While In the Pittsburg district the water supply Is sufficient to carry on all busi ness, the low stage of the rivers has caused a congestion of much coal In this vicinity. Every available barge and float has been loaded with coal and at present, with al most 20.OHO.000 bushels In the Pittsburg har bor, the river coal mines have been com pelled to shut down for the wsnt of ship ping facilities. There are about lo.OftO min ers employed In the river mines along the Monongahela valley. This great fleet of coal Is for supply of points In tho west and south and the probabilities are there will he a coal famine experienced, especially In the northwest, should conditions prevent the shipment of the coal Vetre cold weather sets In. In West Virginia lumber plsnts. glass factories and Iron and steel mills located along the rivers, are closed on account of insufficient water. In eastern Ohio the same conditions prevail, and It Is feared the great iron and steel mills at Youngs town.

In all sections of the dry sone prayers are offered up dally and these prayers will continue until they are answered with rain.
