ed as the bet Presidential possibility
at the golden jubilee dinner accord
ed N. W. Aver and Son at the Belle

nearly 400 employes of the firm in

Mr. Taft was greeted with the
heartiest enthusiasm when he en

the dinner was nearly over. The
seven or eight hundred present arose
and cheered him as he puffed his
portly way in and out among the
tables to reach the head table.
When Mr. Ayer introduced him in
u jocular way as a man who once
occupied the White House one term
and thought he was going to have
another, the audience as with one
voice shouted: "He is." and re

emphasis.
Mr. Taft* dwelt forecfully and
eloquently upon the value of free
speech and a free press in the main
tenance of liberty and popular gov
ernment and said in a government
run by force and despotism the first
thing the ruling power does is to
abolish free speech and free press.

MISS WARDEN GIVES TEA
Miss Katherine Warden, 2235
North Second street, gave a tea this
afternoon in compliment to her
cousin. Miss Marie Bergstresser,
whose engagement to Major William
Bates, a prominent Philadelphia
surgeon, was recently announced,
and Mrs. G. Walter Spahr, who has
just moved io this city from Yonk
ers, N. Y. The house was profusely
decorated with jonquils and other
yellow spring flowers. ...
"That's what they're now doing in
Russia," he said, "and is a fair indi
cation of what Bolshevism is."
Mr. Taft said that public opinion
is the greatest agency in the solution
of questions that do not come with
in the scope of positive law; such
as disputes letween nations over in
ternational matters, and in making
some men meet their obligations of
citizenship who otherwise might not
do so. There are instances, he said,
when publicity is not wise.
The deliberations of the committee
that drilled the constitution of too
United States were secret, and justly
so. Mr. Taft said; also the delib
erations of the commission which
framed the Canadian constitution,
and he believed the demand for
open proceedings of tne Peace Con
ference in Paris had come from
newspaper correspondents who had
not fully judged of the difficulties
in the way of such a course. As a
member of the National War Rubor
Board, he said, he saw the wisdom
o f holding closed sessions of such
bodies so that the members of op
posing interests might have a chance
to speak their minds freely toward
one another without fear of having
their words misconstrued or misun-.
derstood if portions of what they
had to say or even all of it were
published.
Mr. Taft expressed regret that he
lacked the genius and vision possess
ed by Mr. Ayer in the pschychology
of advertising. If he had. he said,
it might have been different with
him in 1912.

Schantz Senate bill authorizing
county commissioners to appropriate
money to cities and boroughs to as
sist in the erection of comfort and
waiting stations, saying: "It is not
clear to me just why counties should

whole."

Both the operators and min
ers are suffering great incon
venience as the result of the in
difference of the coal-buying
public.
The coal market is not active.
With nobody buying, the opera
tors cannot work their mines -

the same reason.
Withholding your coal
order is not going to profit
the consumer a penny—on
the contrary it is develop
ing a condition that may
bring a repetition of the
! serious coal famine of the
Winter of 1917-1918.
A fuel famine is not an impos
sibility and prices would
mount still higher.
sense dictates the need of buy
