THE WORK OF CONGRESS. Many Important Measures Enacted Ay the Majority. The Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth -on triaaea will go down In hie lory aa record breaken because of the large number of Important meaanrea enacted, tneaanrea baring directly to do ttftb the great business Interests of coon try and standing between the people and corporate greed and oppression. The Fifty-ninth congress opened a new era In American legislation, giving emphasis to the fact that the constitution la amply sufficient for all the needs cf the people, safeguarding their Interests and famishing them ample means of protection. The Fifty-ninth

mres, originating with the BepnbUcans and psaaed _ by Republican votes. There Is still much to be done to perfect the work begun by the Fifty-ninth eoogreas. Experience has demonstrated that a Democratic congress cannot be depended upon t^work out any greet system of reform. No reform in administration or In legislation Las ever come about under a Democratic regime. As et present constituted the Democratic party la made np of too many i^me to be safe In handling great questions of political economy. Two great questions will soon come np for legislation—a revision of the tariff end a remodeling of our currency system. Twice since 1880 the Democrats hers attempted tariff legislation, and twice ths business of the country was brought to the verge of min and hundreds of thousands of workingmen were thrown out of Twice within the lest thirty years the Democratic party has aet up its standard of monetary legislation, first it declared In favor of putting the printing press re to jrorL In manufacturing greenbacks without limit end, secood. by declaring for the free and nnlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to L No evidence has t Chat the party baa recanted from Stead for flat money.

After Mr. Taft assumed charge of the Philippines there was no color line to far as be was concerned. There bad been one for centuries. The Spanlords Introduced It. The Spaniard would not permit even a suggestion of social equality between him and the Filipinos, although In Intelligence, breeding, education and attribute* which constitute maniloeu the upper class Filipino la fully on a par with the Spaniard or American. Mr Taffs first care In the prosecution of his “policy of attraction" la the Philippines was to demollah the color line. leading Filipinos were bidden to dinner and to other social affairs at bla borne, and their wives and daughters were asked to stand on the receiving line with Mrs. Taft. At nere Mr Taft Invariably took In the leading flllplno woman. Ha did not martyr himself In ao doing, either, for the Filipino women are bright, vivacious and pons eased of a keen humor, which last quality alone would Insure their getting on well with Mr. Taft So far as be could Mr. Taft became one of the people. A man who accompanied him on hla first tour of the Islands tells of having i Taft In cloee conference with a young Filipino lawyer, who, when he qntt Mr. Taftia side, left with him a piece of paper covered with diagrams. The secret came oat the next night at the ball which Invariably formed a t splruous part of the ceremonious tertalnmenta. The ball was ope with the rigadon, or Spanish quadrille It is a more complicated dance than our quadrille, and the figures are not called out Mr. Taft, to the surprise of his companions, stepped off with the wife of the presldente and led through the quadrille without a mis take. He kept hla eyes fairly closely glued to a bit of paper, same that the lawyer had left him and upon which be had drawn gram of the figures of the rigadon for the Instruction of the governor.

i Mr.

Taft received the poorest aa well ms the richest and most Influential Filipino. An American contractor tells of having waited In Mr. Taft's anteroom for an hour while be explained old Filipino woman what me she should take to obtain a balance of $1 which, she asserted, the government owed her on an unsettled Halm. Had he not met the Filipinos on such grounds of equality Mr. Taft could never have so successfully striven with the problem in the Philippines, bad to have the help of the Filipinos, and he obtained It by making friends

RESTORING CONFIDENCE Country Impressed With Uttarancos of Judge TafL Judge Taft has steadily grown on the country since hla nomlna tl'iL Hla Judicial poise, his uobrlety of utterancs and hla attitude of deep responsibility have all Impressed the country.

Tbe great trouble with tbe railroads hat been their Inability to raise the necessary money with which to carry on extensions and Improvements. To get this money there mast be confidence on the part of the Investing public, and this confidence win certainly be secured by the election of Judge Taft." Tbe campaign has reached tbe point where It is wise to make the personality of Ur.' Taft known and familiar over ths country. The campaign la marked by Its sober discussion and the manifest movement of the great current of pa bile opinion toward

MR. TAFT ON BANK GUARANTY.

My information with respect to the Oklahoma system U that It la dsvsloping os might ha expected. I have a correspondent who Is intimately acquainted with the conditions In Oklahoma. In a letter of Bept St 1908. In speaking of tbe effect of the guaranty of deposit Uw, be uses the following language:

growing wore* than was expected on account of tbe recent decision there whereby It was decided that the bonk commissioner bos no right to refuse to grant a charter to parties proposing to organise a bank. As an instance. In a town of less than 800 people os many as four banks have been organised. Application Is now In for tbe organisation of a fourth bonk In one town of only 470 population. "Men whose post record proved them to be Incompetent are engiging In the banking business and getting In control of banking institutions. I have knowledge, of one instance where a man was

ago and failed. He went to another town and engaged In the same line of business In bis wife’s name, but conducted her affairs lu such an unbusinesslike way that she failed. Some time afterward be went to Oklahoma territory and started a small state bank, but found be coaid not succeed and sold to other parties und left tbe territory. A few mouths ago. however, be returned and started another state bank, advertising that the depositors are secured under tbe state guaranty law, and after elxty days' operation he now has over (100.000 deposits. I hare It from the beet authority that he now proposes to start fifteen new state banka throughoot the state, two of which bare already been organised and one now doing

It Is striking that no oot has yet declared that Bryan is a wise statesman. Those who ore most anxious for his tore ire do not urge especial fitness, bat rather that he may at last have found an Issue that tbe people will not repudiate at the polls. To return to power la the main thing of the Democratic party, no matter If It floats Into office on Bryan babbles or on any other conceivable pretext In pronounced contrast is the estimate that Is nnlvereolly expressed on Taft’s equipment for tbe presidency. Irrespective of party, all attest to hla mastery of affaire and wonderful administrative ability. Tb* clergy ore equally outspoken. Among those who called upon Mr. Taft at Ctndnnati daring the week was the Rev. Francis Hargetts Short, pastor of tbe First Methodist Episcopal church at Bolt Lake City. Discussing politics, Mr. Short said: "Judge Toft Is eminently fitted in character and practice '3 occupy the highest office In tbe land. His efforts to raise a high standard of life at home, bis Interest in and solicitude for nations acroes the sea, mark him as a man of sane visions and desire. Bncfa a man this nation needs and require* at Its head if we are to continue to hold the undivided admiration of those at bom* and those abroad.
