assemble to nominate a successor to
Theodore Roosevelt. II Is not for any
man to be other than gratified upon
reaching such an eminence that his
fellow.citizens deem him suitable for
the chair that marks the head of the
table of the nations. Those who are
intimate with Mr.. Taft say that his
ambition lies along the line of his
profession" This means the supreme
bench at Washington and no man

candidate for it. The Secretary Of War
is well worthy the place. AS Presi-

their fullest measure the new traditions
Of this great and grand office.

moned Theodore Roosevelt to the high
office he has filled and honored, his
declaration of policy was the statement
that he would take up the work left
unfinished by President Mckinley. This
pledge he has kept to the letter. In
the series Of great tasks he has for
several years had the cooperation and
assistance Of VIM. II. Taft. II may
safely be assumed that as chief exec.

(By Ed Towse.)

There were seventy people In Secre.
tary of War Taft's congressional party.
At least 700 others wanted to make the
trip. According to the official itinera'
ry the journey from Occident to Orr.
ent" began at the nations capital on
June 80 of this year and was finished
at the same place so soon after Octo.
Der as Washington could be reached
from San Francisco. Originally the
mileage was figured at 1886 outward
and 11,2O1 inward, making a grand
total Of 2l.S67-almost enough for o
trip around the world. This distance
was somewhat reduced for the reason
that return did not include a second
call at Honolulu, which had been Off.

It was figured on board the JManchuria.

San Francisco, that by taking the most
direct route from the Orient to Liver.
pool and thence across the Atlantic to
New York, Mr.. Taft and his friends
could have gone around the world in
three or four more days than the time
figured for the trip as 1t was made.
All the members Of the Taft party
paid their own expenses. The loss Of
time to most of the men was in the
nature of a sacrifice. Probably not
above a couple of the senator's or rep.
resentatives could well afford 1t from
a financial view. Mr.. Newlands was
said to be the wealthiest of the lot
next to Congressman Longworth and
the Nevada statesman is no gentleman
of leisure.
Mr.. Taft issued the Invitations. He
was probably disappointed in failing of
acceptances from Senators Lodge, Bev.
eridge and a very few others. Mr.. Bev.
eridge had been over the ground and
Mr.. Lodge was simply unable to make
the journey.
All sections Of the United States
were represented. There were substan.
tial men from the limits OF the four
quarters Of the country and from the
Interior districts or regions prominent
in politics and business. There were
party leaders, captains of industry"
attorneys, merchants, manufacturers,
farmers and miners.
The purpose Of this trip was to alb.
sorb information by travel. While the
Philippines Islands were the objective
point and to Mr.. Taft the most impor.
tant, 1t was the design to learn all
possible concerning the vast country
between Washington and Manila. Mr..
Taft had been identified prominently
with the Philippines. He has, quite

Rights of the Individual.

The cornerstone of the American re-
public is Individual liberty. 1t was the
climax of the struggle for the greatest
freedom for the individual consistent
with good government which ushered
in the federal government, not alone
the first with a written constitution,
but the government that went to the
greatest extreme i'll not onfy securing
the rights of the individual, but in
guaranteeing their maintenance. 1t is,
therefore, not surprising that the fed
eral supreme court, having determined
by a majority vote that it had the
right to pass upon the legislation Of a
state regulating the hours of labor.
should have declared any act fixing the
hours of labor for individuals uncon-
Stitutional as an Infringement upon
one of the greatest rights of the in
dividual the right to free contract.
Had the minority seen fit to pass upon
this phase instead Of the province Of
the court to adiudicate the issue there
can be no question that the decision
would have been unanimous As long
as the government stands, the rights
Of the individual cannot he abridged

A Man of Many Sides

When we reflect on the things that
Taft has done and how easily he has
done them since he left the quiet of
the bs@e6 for :he iii riot Of s pBhAl BhAly lifid isfided
as the president, with Il balance that
is incorruptible in addition. He has
done what he had to. do with such con-
spicuous ease that it has attracted no
comment and won no particular ap-
plause. Taft is never compliment,d.
The people expect from him so much
that the giving of little is mere routine.
1t is not considered a great achieve
ment when the professor of higher
mathematics does a problem in long
division without effort We don't
know where Taft will end. but there
seems to he a growing impression that
some time the people will find a place
that will make the punishment OF the
work fit the crime of his omnivorous
talent Detroit Free Press

Continuing TO comment upon their
agitation for fusion ticket and their
predictions of Republican defeat, Edi
tor Kendall says: 1T is all bosh and
rot for Somerset county Republicans
long since quit following the leadership
OF these men and they take no more
stock in a fusion ticket this year than
they did last, when they polled 700
votes in the county.
1--WE have tired of these cowardly
onsaughts, and we only trust that they
will keep their word and place a bolt
ers' ticket in the field this fall. that
they may receive the licking for which
their hides seem to be fairly itching.
Somerset county is Republican coun-
ty- and il has never bent its knee to
any class of disgruntled office seekers,
who never were Republicans except for
revenue. and if they don't believe this
assertion, let them come out OF their
hiding and array themselves up IN
proper line against the organization
and make a fight for their dirty politi-
cal methods, or keep still and quit their
malicious talk about their betters.
Talk is cheap, and all talk OF fu-
sion ticket in this county this fall
comes from the cheapest lot of broken
down politicians that any county was
ever burdened with"
