Oyster Buy N Y Sept lOSMy Dear Mr I ohrsI have received

your letter nbout the candidacy of MrTaft tho man who I feel Is In an especialsense tho representative of nil that Inwhich I most believe In political life

Every good cltlicn should desire lo seeboth prosperity and justice prosperityand fair nUll righteous dealing as betweenman mind man obtain permanently In thisRroat republic As u people we are Justlyproud of our business Industry of our enorgy and Intelligence In our work and IIIs entirely rljn that we should ask ourselvos us to any given course of conduct

Will It bu profitable But It U also noless emphatically truo that tho built ofour people tho plain people who founl InAbraham Lincoln their especial championand spokesman regard the question Isthis morally right as even more Important than tho question Is this prontablo1 when applied to tiny given course ofconduct Indeed in the long run our pctpie uro sure to find that III ull dealingsalike In tho business and political worldwhat Is roaliy proJltablu Is that which Ismorally right The last few years have I

seen u great awakening of time public con ¬

science and Hie growtu of a stern determination to do anal with corruption andunfair dealing political economic socialIt is urgently necessary that this greenreform movement should go on Put nffreform movement Is healthy If It Goes onby spasms If It Is marked by periods offrenzied advance followed ns such perlode of frenzied advanco must always befollowed by equally violent periods of revaction Tho revolutionary and the reactionary realt1III1Y Into one anothershands to time extent that each by Ills ex-

cesses necessarily tends to arouse suchdisgust such a foiling of revolt In theminds of quiet people na temporarily topowerI our public atfairs to fall alternately Into time hands ofrevolutionaries and reactionaries of theextreme radicals of unrest and of the bigoted conser atives who recognize nowrongs to remedy would merely moonthat the nation had embarked on a feverish course of violent oscillation whichwould lie fraught with great temporarytrouble and would produce no ndeiuati I

good In the end The true friend of reform the true too of abuses is the manwho steadily perseveres In rightingwrongs In warring against abuses butwhoso character and training aro suchthat ho never promises what ho cannotperform that ho always a little more thanmakes good what ho does promise andthat whllo steadily advancing ho neverpermits himself to be led into foolish exceases which would damage the very cnusoho champions In Mr Taft we have tI

man who combines all of these qualitiesto a degree which no other man In ourpublic life since tho civil war has surpassed To a flaming hatred of Injusticeto a scorn of all that Is base mind mean tla hearty sympathY with the oppressedho unites entire dlsIntDreetednossrcouragoboth moral and physical of the very highesttypo and u kindly generosity of naturewhich makes him feel that all of his fel-

low countrymen nro In very truth hisfriends and brothers that their Interestsare his ail that all his great qualities areto be spent with lavish freedom In theirservice Time honest man of means thehonest and law abiding business man canfool mfo In las hinds becaupo of tho veryfact that the dishor st man of greatwealth the man who swindles or robs hisfellows woo not KO much us dare to de-

fend¬

his evil doing In Mr Taftfl presenceThe honest wagewortcr time honest la-

boring man the honest farmer tho honestmechanic or email trader or man of smallmeans can foel that In a peculiar senseMr Taft will bo his representative because of till very fact that he has thosame scorn for the demagogue that ho hasfor the rorruptlonlst and that he wouldfront throats of personal violence from amob with time umiualllng and lofty Indlffernnre with which ho would front theblttur anger of the wealthiest and mostpowerful corporations Broad though hissympathies nre there Is In him not theslightest tine s of weakness No consider ¬

ation of port anal Interest any more thanof fear for hs personal safety could makehim swerve a hairs breadth frjm thocourse which he regards na right and Intho Interest of the whole people i

I have naturally a peculiar Interest Intho success of Mr Tuft and In seeing himbacked by r majority In both houses of

i congress which will heartily support hispolicies For tho last ten years while I

have been governor of New York andtheIhave on every essential point stood Inheartlestagreement shoulder to shoulderWo havdthm samo views ns to what Is du-

mantled by tho national Interest and honor both wlitln our own borders and nilregards tho relations of this nation withother nation There Is no fight for de-cency and fair dealing which I havewaged In which I have not had his hearttest and mosi effective sympathy and Blipport nnd tl policies for which I standare his policies an much as mine

It U not possible In the spats of thisletter to discuss nil time many and Innnltely vane questions of moment withwhich Mr Taft as president would havoto deal ltd him be judged by what IIP

II +

Istrntlon In which he has played so con-

spicuous¬

a part has done But to Illustrate just what his attitude is let metouch on two matters now prominent Intho public mind

Mr Taft can bo trusted to exact justicefrom the railroads for tho very reasonthat ho can bo trusted to do justice to therailroads The railroads aro tho chief Instruments of Interstate commerce In thocountry and they can neither bo held toa proper accountability on the one handnor given proper protection on tho othersave by tho affirmative action of time fed-

eral¬

government Tho law as laid downby tho federal courts clearly shows thatthe states have not anti cannot deviselaws adequate to meet the problems caus ¬

ed by the great growth of tho railroadsdoing an Interstate commerce businessfor more than fourfifths of the businessof the railroads Is Interstate nnd underthe constitution of tho United Status onlytho federal government can exerclso control thereover It Is absolutely necessarythat this control should be affirmative and

i thoroughgoingAllf business carried on by theI great corporations should In the Interest

CIOSel1supervisedthe railroads which cannot exist at allsave by the exercise of powers grantedthem on behalf of the people and whichtherefore should bo held to a peculiar accountnblllty to the people It Is In the Interest of tho people that they should notbe permitted to do Injustice and It Is notheyIpurpose Is to carry the commodities of thefarmers and the business men They couldnot bo built save for the money contrib-uted to them by their shareholders Theycould not he run at all save for the moneypaid out In wages to the railroad employ-ees

¬

and finally they could not bo rundiciously or profitably to any ono JUInot for tho employment by them of somemasterful guiding Intelligence whether ofone man or of a group of men There aretherefore several sets of Interests to beconsidered Each must receive proper consideration and when any ono of themselfishly demands exclusive considerationthe demand must bo refused Along cer-tain lines all of these groups havo thesame Interests It Is to tho Interest ofshipper farmer wogoworker businessman honest shareholder and honest mnn ¬

ager nllke that there should be economy I

honesty Intelllgcnco nnd fair treatment ofall To put an effective step to stork watering would bo n benefit to everybodyexcept tho swindlers who profit by stockwatering It would benefit the honestshareholder because lionoit Investmentswould not bo brought Intowith more paper It wouldwogoworker because when competitionIearned does not have to go toterest on watered capitalleft out of which to pay wages It wouldbenefit the shipper because when only i

honest stockholders hate to bo paId Inter ¬

est rates need not be Improperly raisedIt would benefit the pubic because therewould bo ample money with which to giveefficient service Similarly tho preventionof favoritism as among shippers does nodamage to any one who Is honest and con ¬

fers great good upon the smaller businessman and the farmer whom It relieves ofoppressionAgain supervision of accounts andmanagement as will prevent crookednessanti oppression works good directly or In ¬

directly to all honest people Thereforoeverything that cnn bo done along nilthese lines should bo done and no manslegitimate interest would thereby bo hurtBut after this point has been reachedgreat care must bo exercised not to workInjustice to one class In tho effort toshow favor to another class nnd eachclass naturally tends to remember onlyIts own needs Tho stockholders must revceive an ample return on their invest-ments or the railroads cannot be builtand successfully maintained and thorates to shippers and the wages to em-ployees

¬

from the highest to the lowestmust all bo conditioned upon this factOn tho other hand Hi a public servicecorporation we have no right to allowsuch excessive profits as will necessitaterates being unduly high and wages unduly low Again while In all proper waysrotes must be kept low we must alwaysremember that we have no right and nojustification to reduce them when the re ¬

suit Is tho reduction of the wages of thegreat army of railroad men A fair workIng arrangement must bo devised accordIng to the needs of the several cases sothat profits wages and rates shall eachbe reasonable with reference to the othertwo and In wages I include the properlylargo amounts which should always bopaid to those whoso masterful ability Isrequired for the successful direction ofgreat enterprises Combinations whichfavor such an equitable arrangementshould themselves bo favored and notforbidden by law although they shouldbe strictly supervised by the governmentthrough the Interstate commcrco commlsslum which should have tho power ofpassing summarily upon not only thoquestion of tho reduction but tho raising

I

ratesThisrailroad problem Is Itself one of

the phases of one of the greatest andmost Intricate problems of our clvllUatlon For Us proper solution we need notmerely honesty und courage but Jtidffmont good sense and entire fair mindedness Demagogy In such n matter Is ascertain to work evil us corruption ItselfTho man who promises to raise the wagesof railroad employees to tho highest pointand at the same time to reduce rates totho lowest point Is promising what rel ¬

ther he nor any one else can performnnd 11 tho fffort to perform It were at ¬

tempted disaster would result to bothshipper and wa EC worker and ruin to thebusiness Interests of the country Theman to trust In such u matter as this lathe map who like Judgo Taft does notpromise too much but whooould not bu1r+ r
