THE WISDOM OF TAFT.

It is announced from Washington that after consultation with the presi- dent, Secretary Taft is determined to make no change in his contemplated program. Although strong pressure has ben put upon him to abandon his proposed trip to the Philippines and devote his time instead to canvass of Ohio, he has decided that he will go to Manila as originally contem- plated and at the time contemplat- ed. The decision is a wise one. Secretary Taft attending strictly to his duties and performing them well regardless of his personal interests is a much more inspiring spectacle than Candidate Taft neglecting his public duties and working for his own ipterest.
 The country has become somewhat impressed with Mr. Taft's fitness for the position of president. not because he is reported to be the president s choice as his successor, but because he has demor strated lis personal worth and his ability. If he is nomi- mated at all it will be on that account, and were he now to practically desert his post and devote his time to a personal campaign he would in large m measure forfeit the admiration now felt for him.
 Mr. Taft has gained in strength as possible candidate from the time his name was first mentioned and it appears that his strength has increas- ed without any effort on his part to build up personal party or a per- sonal machine. During all the talk he has steadily gone about his bus mess doing what was at hand No mistakes have been charged up against him. In the Philippines, in Cuba, in Porto Rico he has been the visible factor in effecting results, and though complaints regarding our course nave come from all these sources in no instance has there been any complaint against Taft.
 In the present case Mr. Taft seems to have been guided by the highest political wisdom. He does not avow himself candidate, and so does not draw thei re of the opposition.

Practical politicians will point to Governor Hughes plight as an ex- ample of what will happen to gover- nors who bring theories into office. Governor Hughes theory is that the legislature is responsible to the people, and he has foreborne to try to coerce it to his way of thinking. Result, the senates refusal to sustain his.removal of Insurance Commissioner Kelsey. Now, if Governor Hughes had gotten down among the senators and used suasion. moral and politically immoral, to gan his ends, perhaps there would be another tale to tell. But the fight is not over by any means, and it hasn't yet been proved that Governor Hughes has followed a mistaken course. The Kelsey case is but one incident in contest that has many ramifications. It is too early yet for any cumming up.

SHOULD RESPECT THE OFFICE.

SHOULD RESPECT THE OFFICE.
 The members of the Central Trades and Labor union of St. Louis have shown themselves capable of making a distinction that is none too easy. When called upon by the pattern makers organization to attack Pres. Roosevelt for his characterization of Mover and Haywood as undesirable citizens they declared, No matter what we may think of Mr. Roosevelt, we must, as good citizens, respect the office of chief magistrate of our republic
 When the candidate of political party is elected to the presidents chair he ceases for the time being to be an individual citizen. Then and criticism of him becomes for the people of the United States self criticism, justiiable to such an ex- ent as my lead to reform, but not Justlfiable to such an extent as may bring us into ridicule by outsiders.
 We as Americans, whether we be- long to labor organizations or not, are first of all concerned with the well fare of our country. Once we put some other interest before that we can confidently expect the final smash up. That has been what other repub- lies in the past have done and the lessons of their history are clear for us to read. If the welfare of the country is first to us then the dignity of the offices which represent that country must be our care. For un- less they possess dignity they can not command respect. And unless they command respect they are of no value and the government which they

The President doesn't seem able to dismiss the Idaho murder case from his mind. His latest declaration is that he wi intervene in case mis- carriage of justice is shown, and in that it is doubtful if he has not made a worse mistake than the one which originally got him into water rather too warm for comfort.

Such results can obtain in any town

SCAREY
RUMOR
WHO STARTED THE REPORT
THAT ENGINEERS WOULD LOSE
THEIR JOBS?

Among certain gentlemen on the
waterfront there is something akin to
CONSERVATION, for the story has start
ed, without any apparent basis in fact
as far as can be ascertained from
those who ought to know, that General
Manager J. A. Kennedy of the Inter-
Island Steam Navigation Company,
who left for the mainland the other
day to extend his travels to scotland
is going to bring back with him about
ten or a dozen engineers to man the
local inter-island boats.
He can't do it, you know" said one
of the Inter-Island men this morning
'it is against the law which provides
against contract labor"
HE won't contract with them" said
another, who may have been response
BILE for starting the yarn, "he win ad
vance them money for their passage
to Honolulu and they can pay 1t bacl
when they get here"
It is well known, since it was ex
cluslvely published in The Star tn,
other day, that Kennedy is going t
arrange for a complete system of me
chanical coaling and this may havl
been mislnterpreted to the extent o
giving ground for the story that h,
was going to get engineers, when, a
a matter of fact, he is probably merel!
going to consult engineers, and no
steamboat engineers, in regard to thi
mechanical arrangement; besides tn
engineers aboard the inter-islanr
boats are all thoroughly competen
men and are satisfied with their work
except one, perhaps, who has apple,
for the job of second assistant engi
neer aboard the Lusitania

WOULD DIR" WALLACE TRY?
DOUBTS WHETHER HE REALLY WANTS TEST AND WOULD
ISSUE If BOARD HEALTH OFFERED
CONDITIONS WHICH WOULD BIND HIM DOWN A
TEST.

Will Wallach be given a chance to
prove himself a faker in his claims to
possess a cure for leprosy? Or win
he back down when the Board of
Health attempts to pin him down to
reasonable conditions in case it is de-
cided to give him a show?
These are questions which were the
main topic of discussion after the
meeting of the Board of Health yester-
day afternoon, and there was a very
wide difference of opinion concerning
them.
1t is pretty certain that had the mat
ter come to a vote at yesterdays meet

again turned down cold, and probably
