THE PASSING
OF TAFT
The returns published of labor statis- j
tics involving every state in the Union,
show that labor conditions are worse
as the year nineteen hundred and eleven
draws to a close than they have been at j
anv time during the past twenty years,
with the single exception of the period
at the lowest ebb of the 11)07-08 panic.
From almost every center, East and
West, reports show that the labor mar
ket is glutted; that industries show an
unmistakable tendency to curtail their
output; that the demand for manufac
tured goods is so sluggish that at no
time since 1804 were industries in all
lines so stagnant. Republican papers
charge the depression to the fact that
the possibility of a democratic victory
is causing the manufacturers to become
panicstricken.
The late democratic victory in Cincin
nati, President Taft's home town and
the place of business of his brother
Charles, is generally considered as a re
proof to the President.
Champ Clark, democratic speaker of
the house, declares the democrats will
sweep the country at the next general
election.
Before a large crowd who heard him
speak without any demonstration of
approval, and in perfect silence, Presi
dent Taft denounced the Brvan allega
tion that lie had packed the Supreme
Bench in order to weaken anti-trust
acts. The President was visibly affected,
and spoke with intense feeling. He did
not deal with the personel of the court,
or the appointments which he had
made, but told his audience that the
men who reached that position were
men invariably selected for their attain
ments in their profession.
YUKON SALOON
CHANGES HANDS
David Kay and Edward Woods on
Wednesday dosed the deal with Oscar
Eundin. taking over the latters interest
in the Yukon saloon. Under the new
ownership the place will be altered and
fitted up as a first class, family liquor
house. A large and well selected stock
of wines for family trade will be the
special feature of this house.
