Difference Between Bryan and Taft What the Baltimore Sun Says. The Baltimore Sun, which caused one of the big sensations of the cam paign by its advocacy of Taft for the presidency, points out that, while Bry an on his speechmaking visit recently to Baltimore attracted a large num ber of people to hear his message, twelve years ago he spoke there to one of the greatest outpourings that that city had ever seen at a political meeting and that shortly afterward Baltimore gave a majority against him of 21,098 votes. This editorial states that In opposing the election of Mr. Bryan the Sun is not opposing true Democracy or Demo cratic principles. The choice, it says, is not so much between parties as be tween men. "The people, we believe, will decide in favor of restoring pros perity through Mr. Taft rather than in turning prosperity from the door through Bryan. The people now de sire above all things the return of nor mal business and Industrial conditions and Industrial peace. The working people want employment and good wages. We do not believe that those things can be attained by a man who has won prominence, not by sound aud enlightened statesmanship, but by ceaseless agitation, by ceaseless striv ings after something new and strange. Mr. Taft will carry out fearlessly and faithfully the policies which the people demand, but he will not consider it necessary to throw the country Into bankruptcy and business stagnation in order to make it virtuous." WILLING AND ABLE. "Taft Can Clean Off the Desk," and He Will Do It. Considering Mr. Taft In the light of the things he has done and will have to do as president, a close student of public men in Washington recently wrote of him as follows: "The times demand not a man bear ing promise of new things, but a man who is to finish the things begun. Such a man is Taft, a hewer of wood, who has no ambition to link his name with new measures, but who, with a steady hand and a heart always kind *nd a mind always generously just, can clean off the desk. "He knows that the desk Is clutter ed up. He knows that It may take six or eight years to get down to the ma hogany under things now pending. But the American people must know Unit in some way this must be done before this nation can go further, and hence there is a tielief that the man who can make the Hepburn railroad law as much a part of our common lift; as the postal regulations, who enn grind the rough edges off the Sherman Law through the courts, who can finish the canal and deal with Cuba kindly, honestly and firmly, who can lead the brown men of the Islands farther into the light, is this big, hardworking, soft hearted, fair minded, unselfish man Taft. He can clean off the desk." PLEASE, MR. STORK, A BABY. Little Girl Writes For a Nice One For a Christmas Present, A little girl who had heard that ba bies were brought by the stork hit upon the brilliant idea of writing to Mr. Stork as if to Santa Claus to let him know she wanted unother addi tion to the family. She had heard of the stork in the Central park zoo at New York city and addressed her let ter, "Mr. Stork, Central Park," so it eventually fell into the hands of Park Commissioner Smith. The girl evi dently Is not particular whether she gets a little brother or a sister, for she didn't make any specifications. Her letter reads: Pear Mr. Stork—My name is Anna Tralnor, and I would like you very much to send me a nice little baby, for I like them very much. My friend, whose namo Is Hazel Carney, told me that she wjrote a letter to you, and a few days after she received a letter from you telling her that you would send a baby Christmas or be fore Christmas. Well, Mr. Btork, my let ter must como to a close, but don't eet to send each of us a baby, no other time but this Christmas, Doc. 25. Hazel said that she did not get her baby yet, so don't forget to send them Christmas. ANNA TUAINOR, 412 East Thlrty-foiu-th Street. My friend's name Is Hazel Carney, 401 East Thirty-fourth street. P. S.—Write soon to each of us. Bring Hazel's first, because she wrote before me. The letter is written on a page of a school notebook. The Denial Habit.
