Beginning with the effort to eliminate
Foraker, which admittedly has put

such policy is doubtless widespread al

Taft and His Can1idancy.

A reader writes to say that 1t is In
comprehensive to him why The was
ington Herald an independent and
highminded newspaper, which seems
to think SO well of President Roose-
welt so obviously disapproves OF the
candidacy of Secretary Taft"
The Washington Herald does not
disapprove of Secretary Taft's can

big enough to be President fine

zen, whose public career is in achi-
evements and in whom White House
ambition is altogether becoming and In
order. 1t has said this before, If not

cerity and emphasis and is pleased
to say it again.
But while looking upon Secretary
Taft as logical candidate for the
Republican nomination The Washing
ton Herald believes and has believed al
along that circumstances have con
trived to put him before the country
in a most illogical and unfortunate
position. He was handicapped by en-
tering the campaign as "a mans man
the Presidents legatee-when hi
should have stood squarely on hi'
feet as William Howard Taft, a Re

smallest things visible to the eye are
the stars, Yet according to a high
authority, such is the case. Great as
many of the stars are in actual mag

that their angular diameter becomes
insensible and they approach to, the
condition of geometrical points. The

are spurious, an effect of irradio-
