by your majesty's ancestors, whether sue
cessful or unfortunate, whether just of un-
just las history may decided, have always
been great both in their object and in the
foes encountered. In your day, sire, there
is but one momentous conflict. one hard
struggle-that of Prussia, mighty Prussia,
fighting with little children. On one side,
rods from the prison; on the other, tears.
Most assuredly, this present disgrace Is al.
the greater because of the great victories
In the past; and, therefore, your majesty
can neither wish nor allow his childrens
war to become the prime and main business
of your successive governments, and to give
its name to your reign in history as being
forever associated herewith"

TAFT AND THE PRESIDENCY.
His state of Mind rs Reelected in a
Recent Letter.
Harper's. Weellv


Secretary Taft's declaration of his attI-
tude towards the republican nomination for
the presidency is just such a disclosure of
his state Of mind as an honest gentleman
might naturally make. but as few men ever
have made in relation to the presidency.
Every word of IL obviously came from the
big secretary's inner consciousness and has
on 1t the marks of n veracious and con-
hiding candor, When he says that his am
billion is not political, he says what might
be scoffed at, coming from another man,
but not from him, because II only put into
words what has long been understood.
When he says he is not seeking the presi-
dency. he will be believed. But he will run IL
he is invited-which will not happen he
thinks, IF for no other reason, because OF
what seems TO me TO be objections to my
availability, which do not appear TO lessen
with the continued discharge OF my official
duties" One cam see the Judge smile as
he wrote this sentence-the smite of a
candidate indifferent enough to the out
come to be able to enjoy the humor of a
situation that seems unfavorable to his
chances. But is II unfavorable? Are Taft
the man and Taft the cabinet officer so
inextricnbly mixed up that there is no
separating them? In the public mind
possibly they may be, but In Individual
minds It is so easy to distinguish between
the two that 1t is hard to believe that they
are incurably confused. Even In a bad
light the Judge looms up much too sub
stantial to be mistaken for anybody's
shadow. After all, what is most significant
about his declaration Is that II implies
that he Will not retire to the bench until
after the next republican presidential
candidate is nominated.

BRYAN ON STA TIES RIGHTS.

In the issue of Mr.. Bryan's Com
'moner for the current week are two
editorial articles, one deliberately argu-
ing for the "Jeffersonian', doctrine Of
states rights in general and the other
as deliberately arguing it's subversion
through applications of centralized
power, particularly as proposed in the
Beveridge child labor measure, which
Mr.. Bryan had previously publicly en-
dorsed. II "Jeffersonian" doctrine has
not been misconceived by Jefferson
himself, and by everyone else up to
date, it is the diametric reverse of the
constitutional Interpretation on which
alone all such employments of ma
tional power as the Beveridge bill are
based, and II that Interpretation be &C
cepted there practically can be no limit
on the side of state sovereignty to the
extension of national jurisdiction.
But II Mr.. Bryan's vision be clouded
on this fundamental point. that of the
great trust and corporation combines
OF interstate scope is perfectly clear.
They have a practical in contradiction
to a doctrinaire interest at stake, and
are unembarrassed by considerations
OF political consistency. They at least
recognize in the old "Jeffersonian"
states rights doctrine the most avail
able shield, under existing conditions,
against interference with their abuses
and restraints of trade, by the power OF
the national government, which is now
becoming so serious and effective, And
any exaltation of the famous "Jeffer-
sonian" dogma, even for the purposes
OF sentimental or partisan appeal,
necessarily plays into their hand.
