In the way of bringing about re-
forms, The Recorder has faith TO be-
lieve that Taft's administration in
the next four years will accomplish
more more than has been accomplish
cd by Roosevelt in the past seven.
Taft will not shout from the gilded
dome OF the capitol what he is going
TO do, nor will he play TO the gal
leries, but in a qniet way, with as
little noise as possible, try and cor
rect many OF the evils with which
the country Is afflicted 1t should
not be expected that he will bring
about these reforms in day, but 1t
will be and must be a continuous

The vote does not indicate that
Hearst's independent party cut much
ice In the recent election. He did
not poll votes enough to contribute
towards the defeat OF Bryan, as he
would have been defeated had he had
his own vote and the entire vote pol
led for Hisgen. Regardless OF wheth-
er Hearst or the republican commit
tee furnished the funds with which
TO carry on the campaign, it was
good money lost. But Hearst is a
dead duck. He is as badly hated by
the republicans as be is despised by
the democrats. This Is the fate OF
all traitors and men of small minds.
