The Next President.


William Howard Taft has been cleo
ted President of the United States by
n vote that shows that he is most en-
phatically the choice Of the people.
Through him the people will rule ur-
doubtedly, and it would be false III
terpretatioL Of his victory to ascribe it
in the slightest degree to reaction.
The policies that are associated with
his name and work are progressive
policies. He believes in the adequate
regulation of corporations is the aG-
vocate of a just revision of the tariff,
is in entire sympathy with the demands
Of labor for the consideration that Ia
bors due That the attempt to per-
suade labor that he was its enemy fail
ed IS shown conclusively by the vote
he received, and, more generally speak
ing, it is clear that as statesman he
enjoys the confidence of the masses Of
his countrymen. They trust him as
they have trusted Roosevelt because
they know that he has been identiflel
with all the great and popular acts OF
the administration And they trust
him also and admire and respect him
and are proud of him for achievements
that are his own. He is our first COLO
nial administrator. the man who start
ed us right in the Philippines, the maa
who brought order out of chaos in
Cuba. the man who has rendered US
services of inestimahle value in Pana-
ma. History would give him nigh
praise on this record alone. would mark
him out for well-earned distinction

country that the Just and able judge
was taken from his chosen work on
the ben@l, to establish lasting prece

with the problems of expansion.
There are few men who could have
borne up under the heavy burdens tina
Judge Taft has carried. but while he
has taken his responsibilities seriously
enough his strength has sutficed for all
the demands upon him, and he has
captivated all who have come in con-
tact with him by his frankness. his
kindliness and his good humor. Men
have not PLAYED the sycophant to him

he was not equal to his reputation.
Tne most critical observers of events
at Washington have shown that the
admiration so often expressed for him
grew with d more intimate knowledge
of his character.
He has beer true to the promise OF
his youth has justified great eXpecta-
tions, and will receive heartfelt con-
gratulations from every part of the
country When we laud him as a
statesman we derive additional salts

very best type of the American citizen,
that he has succeeded splcndidly with
out resorting to any of the tricks arti-

THE ELECTION RESULTS.
Bryan and His Party.
New York Tribune.)


The third overwhelming defeat for
Mr. Bryan and the fourth overWhelm-
ing defeat in succession for the Demo-
ocratic party naturally suggest the
question, What is to become of thi,'
party 3nd It's leader: Does the enpHa-
tic rejection of Mr.. Bryan finally CHS
pose OF him as a candidate? Does the
equally emphatic rejection of the DEM
ocratic party, whether under his lead
ership or under the leadership of his
factional opponents, mean that the
Democratic party shall die?
1t would be rash to venture any
predictions in the case of Mr.. Bryan,
who has already maintained his leader
ship of the party in the face of over
wheIming defeats, but this rejection is
so personal in its nature as to make 1t
more difficult than hitherto for him
to recover his prestige in his party. He
confidently counted on the trend of
public opinion toward radicalism,
which, as ne said had made him re
spectacle" to make his election possl-
BILE, and set has been more overwhelm-
ingly rejected than ever before. The

way of issues We're of interest chiefly
as showing how his mind worked, and
as indications of what might be eX-
pected of him in the Presidential chair.
He was rejected this time as a man
and from so overwhelming verdict
against him in so fundamental and un-
changeahle regard as his personality
he will not easily recover sufficiently
to be offered again as a candidate even
by party so deluded as the Democra
tic party has been.

The Verdict of the People.
Chicago Tribune.)

Again the level political sense OF the
American people has justified itself. In
d campaign singularly devoid of spec
tacular Incident and characterized
rather by the orderly dignity of q de-
bate than by the qualities of a gigan-
tic political struggle, the Republican
candidate has been chosen upon Re
publican platform to be the twenty
sixth president of the United States.
The character and the attalnments
Of William Howard Taft have been
tried and passed upon in the national
forum. The great political and social
forces for which he stands and of
which he is representative have been
weighed and tested and not found
wanting by the free people of the AM
erican republic.
The result is world wide in its sig
nificance, since in the crucible of our
democracy the formula of civilization s
greatest experiment is working to its
solution.
The theorists who watched and
prophesied at the beginning of the eX-
pertinent feared the arts of the dema-
gogue and the passion of the multitude.
The mighty truth has since been writ
ten across the pages of history that a
free people will advance in even meas
ure along the practicable highway Of
progress, will test men and measure in
daylight common sense, will test words
by deeds, will work out of the wisdom
of the common life the larger wisdom
which guides great nations in the path
of their destiny.
The election of Taft is a splendid an
swer to the voices that have cried out
against the great reform policies of
Theodore Roosevelt. 1t is the pledge
of the nation and for the nation that
righteousness shall prevail in the coun-
sells Of the nation and in the great ac-
tivities OF the American people as it
prevails in the sound and simple heart
, Of the American people.
The work which Theodore Roosevelt
has inaugurated is approved, and as
| the foundation has been laid so will the

They cannot seem to figure out
whether Taft will be the 26th or the
eth President That is Il question
which appears to be about the exact
proportions to fill the post-election
lull. and with proper nursing it may
yet rival in absorbing interest that
once thrilling problem of How old is
Ann?" The difficulty comes because
Harrison's term came in between
Cleveland's to terms. A number of
newspapers are discussing the matter
with staid and dignified deliberation.
but one can see with half an eye that
a subject Of such deep and vital sig
nificance may at any moment break
into rough house" of vituperative
controversy. Had Cleveland been
successful in his second campaign for
the Presidency. there would have been
no problem of this character to vex
the hair-splitters.

The Mail at NoIa Chucky.

Postmaster General Meyer, discus

Britain, said that it would enormously
Increase the postal business
THE mail bags will fill quickly
when this rate goes into effect" said
Mr.. Meyer. He smiled. IF such a
rush of business had attended on the
Nola Chucky postoffice, the old Nola
Chucky postmaster's ways would have
escaped notice.
"Some years ago an old fellow was
appointed postmaster at the small viii
lage of Nola Chucky. A number of
weeks passed, and the Nola Chuckians
and their friends began to complain
about the mails. And no wonder. The
postmaster it seemed, had sent out no
mail since his entrance into office.
"An inspector, investigating the mat
ter, pointed to the hundred or more
dusty letters that the postmaster had
kept by him, and said sternly:
why on earth, sir, didn't you let
these go?'
"T was waitin',' said the old MAN.
