Previous TO the formation OF iur

New Orleans states)


President Roosevelt's reckless and
absurdly unjust attack on President
Cleyeland's administration, and the ig-
norance and misrepresentation Of es-
tabIished facts which have character
lied Mr. Taft-s efforts to discuss the
Wiison-GOrman tariff Law OF 1894
have 50 disguised the Cleveland Demo-
cra5s and Independent voters that they
have decided TO give their support
10 Mr. BRYAN This fact has been
noted by both the New York Times
and the New York Evening Post,
two papers that are supporting Mr.
Taft and beginning to realize that he
does not measure up 10 their expecta-
tons.
In a leading editorial the Evening
Post SAYS If IT may judge from the
letters II receives and the comment
that il hears, thousands OF hesitating
voters are turned from Mr.. Taft every
time he expOands his peculiar doc
trines about the Wilson tariff Law and
the panic Of 1898 We DO not recall
says the Evening Post, any selection
OF an issue by q candidate in any
previous campaign so thoroughly cal
culated to do minimum Of good and
a maximum OF harm 70 his political
fortunes The South Dakota au-
dience 10 whom Nr. Taft described the
Wilson bill as the great tariff meas
ure under the influence OF which
wheat went down fifty cents. may
have included two or three farmers
so denseIy ignorant as 10 suppose that
the two things had some relation 10
one another But the speech vas
telegraphed and printed elsewhere
and we can assure Mr.. Taft that for
every muddle-headed farmer who
might have been deluded, q hundred
intelligent readers of his words, among
his natural supporters in other locali-
ties, were stirred 10 indignation al
them"
Both the New York Evening Post
and the Times are sincere advocates
OF tariff revision besides having a
thorough knowledge Of the tariff ques-
ton. hence in their support of Taft
they are beginning TO realize that
they are IL uncongenial company. The
fact is they are very much disturbed
By the discovery that their candidate
in mis- efforts TO maintain the system
Of tariff extorti0n OF which his party
is the champion, does not hesitate 70
show his contempt for political his
tory and indulge in reckless mistate-
ment and Misrepresentation

THE AUTOMOBILE on THE FARM
Chicago Record-Herald,}

Chicago Record-Herald)
We referred recently 70 the very
remarkable development Of the auto
mobile industry since 1895, when a
few crude machines competed for
the Times-IIeraId prize and aroused
general ridicule. even though there
were some optimisEs who could build
uD bright visions OF the future from
such an unpromising beginning. The
extensive use Of automobiles as
pleasure vehicles not only confounds
the humorists Of that time. but goes
far beyond the expectations Of the
oDtfrnIsts Who looked for the greatest
developments IN the building Of de-
livery wagons and wagons for the
hauling OF farm produce. This ex-
traordinary expansion in one direction
has been OF such absorbing interest
that the steady gains Of the auto
mobile for utilitarian purposes has not
