Philippine "Vets" Deserve Full Share JUDGE TAFT PAYS A TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN SOLDIERS. Addresses Large Audience at Athens, Ohio, on the Pension System and Its Ideals Athens, Aug. 29. Judge Taft came here today on his way to Toledo and addressed a large gathering of veterans, which included men who fought in two wars. "What I am specially glad to note in this reunion is that the veterans of tne Civil War welcome association with them of the veterans of the Spanish and Philippine Wars.

It is true that the Spanish war was a very short one ana that the dangers and losses of mat war were very small in coinpari son witn those of the Civil War. Yet it involved the same love of country and the same spirit of patriotism on the part of those who entered the army for the purpose of fighting that war that led to the outpouring of the volunteers in the Civil War. "The same thing is true of the Philippine War. The fact that there were some of our countrymen who were opposed to the Philippine War and who condemned the government for attempting to suppress the rebellion and to produce tranquillity, is sometimes used to disparage the patriotic feeling and courage of those who went to those far distant islands to uphold the authority and flag of their country, under the direction of their constitutional commander in chief. What I wish to emphasize here is that a life lost, or health lost in that war entitled the loser to exactly the same gratitude that the country feels to those who lost their lives or their health in the Civil War.

They were sacrificing themselves in the maintenance of a benign policy of this country toward the people of the Philippine Islands in insuring for them a higher civilization and an opportunity to fit themselves for popular self government. Underwent Privations "Those who went Into the war had not the Immediate inspiration, of an intense feeling upon a moral issue such as preceded the Civil War; but when they were exposing themselves to the bullets of the enemy, or to the ravages of tropical disease 10,000 miles away from their homes, it required a great and continuing effort constantly to fulfil the duty of a soldier loyal to his colors. Many valuable lives were lost In those islands, but as they were lost in an effort by this country to discharge its highest duty toward an unfortunate people that Providence had thrust upon "it, they were doing the country's work, they were discharging the duty owed by their fellow citizens to the world and they are entitled, equally with all the other soldiers of the republic who have fought to uphold tho flag to a place upon its roll of honor. "I am glad to have the opportunity of meeting you; of feeling again the thrill that the sight of scarred and veteran soldiers, gathered in reunion, must always give to a lover of his country. I hope that the future of those of you who are survivers of the Civil War and who are going slowly down the hill of life may be full of the sweet calm and pleasure which comes from the retrospect of a well spent life In which you have dons your full duty."

By Associated Press. Atlantic City, N. Aug. 29. Charles B.

Roberts, who was mysteriously shot on the boardwalk last Wednesday night, is still in the Atlantic City Hospital and is very weak. The bullet, which penetrated the liver, it is feared, caused a wound which may prove fatal. The police are firm in the belief that the solution of the mystery surrounding the shooting will follow an investigation of the movements of W. S. G.

Williams on the day of the shooting. The fact that Williams had been in a sanitarium undergoing treatment and not abroad was revealed to the police by his wife, who was with Roberts in a rolling chair at the time of the shooting. According to the police, she contradicts a statement' given out from Williams' law office. The police of this city have abandoned the theory that the assailant of the Baltimore man was a highwayman.

In view of the heavy expense which will be entailed upon the city in the maintenance of the paved streets on the expiration of the guarantee period, property owners and city offi cials will give close inspection to th highways which are about to pass out of the hands of the paving companies within a few months. Contractors Tightly Bound There can be no question of the responsibilities of the companies to place the streets in first class shape before they are relieved from their obligations to the city and the Here is the provision of every contract The contractor shall warrant and guarantee his work and lay the pavement in such good and substantial manner that no repairs thereto shall be required for a term of five years after the acceptance thereof by the Highway Commissioner, and for any breach of this guarantee the city may, after thirty days' notice to contractor and his sureties, relay whatever part or portions of said pavement that may be found defective and recover the costs of the same from the contractor or his sureties. If the guarantee required as aforesaid should expire between the first day of December and the first day of April then the period of five years during which said work is to be guaranteed shall extend to the fifteenth of April next following.
