SECRETARY TAFT AND THE
FUTURE.

The Washington Post, usually
most accurate in its statements. Is
authority for the fact that Secretary
Taft will either accept a seat ON the
Supreme Court bench between now
and October next or failing toacccpt
will be an active candidate Tor tie
Republican nomination for the
presidency. The Post is also appar-
eatly certain that in the event oil
Talt's election as president the pres
ent incumbent. Theodore Roosevelt,
VIII be named as Secretary o! Stnte
under the new administration. The
Posts statement of both of these
matters is most interesting and fur
nishes food for serious coutcmpla-
ton. How for iustancewould TAFT >
nomination affect the Democratic
party and what would bc its effect
on the Republican party? So
far as the latter is concerned
it is an undoubted fact that
the Secretary of War is constituted
too much ON thcplan ofthe President
t meet the unqualified approval OF
the Republican leaders the personal
ty of either Secretary Shaw or Vice
President Fairbanks being more in
KEEPING with their ideas of a suitable
leader As a matter of fact TAFT Is
too independent and too little OF "a
politician to fiud favor i'm the eyes OF
men high mp in the party councils.
His action for instance In the Ohio
campaign. when be- denounced Cox.
the Republican boss of 'iucinuatti
anl therby defeated the Republican
ticket, was most displeasing to
leaders of tine party and weakened
him in his own State. To what
extent this weakness will CON
tinue is predetermined, but right now
TAFT in not i'm favor except at the
White House and among the masses
OF his party. So far as the Demo
Gratis are concerned the acceptance
10y Secretary Taft OF the supreme
Court iudgeship world be a God
send. because Taft is the man most
dangerous to the Democracy hopes.
He is n man the people have implicit
confidence in, and a man who would
inspire that enthusiasm SO essential
to a winning fight. Observation
leads TO the conclusion that tine Re-
publican position world be greatly
weakened and that Of the Democrats
greatly strengthened by the retire
ment of Mr. Taft from actiyepolitics.

In all probability it will be found
that New York's loss is a gain for
