THE PRESIDENT TO BRYAN GINGERS UP CAMPAIGN WITH HASKELL AND FORAKER All is Not Protection and Sanity In Governmental Affairs, but Shall The Public Servants Be Defiled The quietest presidential campaign since the civil war gingered up a bit the past week when the president took a hand in the game. It all came about over Mr. Bryan's asking him to prove his accusations to the effect that Gov. Haskell of Oklahoma, treasurer of the democratic campaign committee, was a creature of Standard Oil. The president's reply is direct and to the point: The issues touched upon in Ohio and Oklahoma are precisely similar in California. It is not protection for our walnuts and citrus fruits so much as shall the Harriman railroad continue to disrupt and debauch the politics of the commonwealth. The president's letter, like all of his productions, should be read by every patriotic American. We have not space to print it entire, but reproduce a portion concerning Taft's position as to Foraker, as contrasted with that of Bryan as to Haskell, his words ring out as follows: "Now contrast your action in this case of Governor Haskell with Mr. Taft's action as regards Senator Foraker, as set forth in his letter of July 20, 1907, which I quoted in my statement. It was a matter of common notoriety about Senator Foraker as it had long been a matter of common notoriety about Gov. Haskell, that he was the defender and supporter of certain great corporate interests and therefore hostile to the policies for which this administra- ulating the trusts be judged connection with your past that you did not believe regulation, but in their d and again, in connection past utterances to the effect government ownership by cated national and state railroads would prevail; by your past utterances proposed to remedy all things of our people by a currency. For several years now I steadfastly fighting to see ogh-going and far reaching in the interest of the great business co which do an interstate bus this effort I have been hampered by the extrem meaning or otherwise, wh visionary and impractical as by those other extremis dangerous, who stand for tionary refusal *o remedy vance. One side, the side I am obliged to say you ed yourself, has shown it just as much the enemy o as the other. I hold it e natural for any great law-deporation to wish to see y in the presidency rather Taft. Your plans to put the abuses of these corpora wholly chimerical; how your latest plan is you will see if you read Governor Hughes said, I quote allows: When we consider these remedies of Mr. Bryan and trusts we find ourselves in a land of dreams. Again gician of 1896 waves his b stroke difficulties disap phe complex problems of m case of Governor Haskell with Mr. Taft's action as regards Senator Foraker, as set forth in his letter of July 20, 1907, which I quoted in my statement. It was a matter of common notoriety about Senator Foraker as it had long been a matter of common notoriety about Gov. Haskell, that he was the defender and supporter of certain great corporate interests and therefore hostile to the policies for which this administration has stood. There was no such convincing proof against Senator Foraker at that time, however, as there was against Governor Haskell, when, as you say, he was with your approval made treasurer of your campaign committee. But Mr. Taft refused to be a party to the nomination of Senator Foraker, even though it was represented that only thus could he advance his own interests, showing by actual deeds that his words were true when he said, "I do not care for the presidency if it has to come by compromise with any one on a matter of principle." With a hundred-fold clearer evidence before you as to the connection of Governor Haskell with the Standard Oil than Mr. Taft had as to the connection of Senator Foraker with any corporations, you nevertheless, having secured Governor Haskell as chairman of the committee to write the platform on which you stand, put him in as treasurer of your campaign committee." A bit gingery, but we like it. When it comes to such republicans as Roosevelt and Taft and a lot of others whom we can name, we are for throwing up our hat, enthusing in support of the grand old party; but when it comes to such men as Foraker and his kind of tinhorns, we look elsewhere for the sentiment which cheers in politics. The president continues: You also say that you will not permit any responsible member of the republican organization to misrepresent the attitude of your party in the present campaign. You will have no difficulty in getting me to represent it aright for my sole anxiety is that the people of the country shall understand this attitude clearly and cent speech at Youngstown. To recall to your mind the尔ernor Hughes said, I quote allows: When we consider these remedies of Mr. Bryan again trusts we find ourselves in a land of dreams. Againgician of 1896 waves his hand a stroke difficulties despite the complex problems of business are forgotten in the nation of the simple panacea most important proposal of is "that any manufacturing corporation engaged in commerce shall be required out a federal license before be permitted to control as twenty-five per cent of the in which it deals," and notification shall be permitted to more than fifty per cent of total amount of any product in the United States." It might be interesting what is the meaning of a product consumed in the United States? Does it refer to any class modities? And if so, how classes be defined? Or refer to each separate article merce? And if so, what does this proposal take off and initiate of manufacture have built up a more or less trade in particular and ten protected by trade much though in most active co-operation with other articles designed same general purpose and same market?

Is this for a day or for a month tended? Or is the average duration for a year to be taken what system shall be dev which cheers in politics. The president continues: You also say that you will not permit any responsible member of the republican organization to misrepresent the attitude of your party in the present campaign. You will have no difficulty in getting me to represent it aright for my sole anxiety is that the people of the country shall understand this attitude clearly and shall then condemn it as it should be condemned. You say that you have advocated more radical measures against monopolies than either I or my party associates have been willing to undertake. You have, indeed, advocated measures that sound more radical, but they have the prime defect that in practice they would not work. I should not in this letter to you, discuss your attitude on this question if you did not yourself bring it up; but as you have brought it up. I answer you that in my judgment the measures you advocate would be wholly ineffective in curing a single evil, and so far as they had any effect at all, would merely throw the entire business of the country into hopeless and utter confusion. I put Mr. Taft's deeds against your words. I ask that Mr. Taft be judged by all his deeds, for he wishes none of them forgotten. I ask that you be judged both by the words you wish remembered and by the words that seemingly you and your party now desire to have forgotten. I ask that your present plan for reg- If we adopt Mr. Bryan's advice to what period of production prohibition to apply? Is there for a day or for a month to sidered? Or is the average duration for a year to be taken what system shall be developed which suitable information furnished in the nature of signals along the route of that the manufacturer must when it is about to exceed the scribed ratio? He may just quired to govern his own conduct how shall he be apprised of the duct of others upon which he pend his guilt or innocence? Let me repeat that no law corporation has anything to do with you save what it will suffer general paralysis of business any attempt on your part to practice the principles we have agitated would bring. Alysis would affect the wage the farmer, the small business more than it would affect the business man, but it would a latter too. Therefore I hope lieve that all far-sighted citizens wish to see this country material things will support. But above all I ask for sure him because he stands for the uplift of the nation, because he have made good his words cause the policies to which he the trusts be judged in confirm with your past utterances you did not believe in their conn., but in their destruction; main, in connection with your interferences to the effect that only gent ownership by a complinational and state system of would prevail; and again, past utterances when you to remedy all the sufferour people by a depreciated several years now I have been really fighting to secure thorning and far reaching control interest of the public over great business combinations to an interstate business.

THE COST TO FIGHT FIRES Government Commission Collecting Data Upon Subject Washington, Sept. 24.—The national conservation commission is trying to find out what it costs the country to fight fires. The geological survey, which is conducting this particular branch of inquiry for the commission is sending out letters to city officials all over the country asking for data on the additional cost of city water supplies for fire protection beyond what is necessary for domestic use. This information will be combined with the other statistics of a similar nature to throw light on the general topic of the conservation of life and property through the prevention of fires, for the use of the commission when it meets here in December to prepare its report for President Roosevelt. The fact that the investigations of the commission have reached a point where such detailed information is being sought is an indication of the substantial progress of its preliminary work. For a time, perhaps, the men who undertook to prepare an inventory of the country's present natural wealth and the outlook for the future feared that the task was going to prove too gigantic for them to finish in time to submit to the first full meeting of the commission, December 1. But they say now there is no doubt that they will place in the hands of the commission a practically complete inventory upon which that body can base its further we consider these proposed of Mr. Bryan against the find ourselves journeying of dreams. Again the ma-1896 waves his hands. At difficulties disappear and complex problems of modern bus-ness forgotten in the fascina-the simple panacea.

And them shall be devised by the men who undertook to prepare an inventory of the country's pres-ent natural wealth and the outlook for the future feared that the task was going to prove too gigantic for them to finish in time to submit to the first full meeting of the commission, December 1. But they say now there is no doubt that they will place in the hands of the commission a practically complete inventory upon which that body can base its further studies and recommendations. This city's fire fighting system investigation is a part of a general study of the conservation of life and property. The commission is compiling an immense amount of accurate information concerning the nature and extent of loss of life and property from fires, the cost of insurance, water systems and fire departments, and the possibility of preventing fire through the use of fire-resisting buildings and materials and of fire proofing systems, and the desirability of changes in building systems. The letters which are going out now ask for figures on the total cost of each city's present dis- of pipe laid and the number of hydrants, and the cost of the water used. They ask further for an estimate of the cost of the system and materials that would be required if the necessity for fire service were omitted and only a domestic supply were needed. Such cities as have a separate high pressure fire system, or contemplate installing one, can give actual figures of the cost of fighting fires; for others the erable accuracy. Some of the city officials regard their information as confidential, so that no figures will be available until tabulations of totals can be worked out. How's This?
