MoMENTARY MORALITY.

There is something ludicrous in the
effect of court term on the public
moral sense OF community; of the
Difference we all pay to the alleged
immoral conditions that beset the
city or town, when the judge, the
grand and. petit juries, and the Off
GERS of law, and all its machinery, are
in active operation; of our anxiety TO
close them, to mitigate them, to re-
duce and qualify and minimize them;
how jealous all hands get in acquir-
ing the necessary degree of ignorance
concerning them; and the general
adstemiousness of our little local
sporting worlds as just such seasons.
And when term time is over, and
the legal forces have ceased to re-
volve about us with their threatening
coils and people, how quickly we as
sumo our old indifference and how
promptly the bars relax and fall and
disappear. The story is as old as
human society, but it is still one of
the stock farces and peurile pretenses
OF the day, all the same, and probably
always will be.

MR.. TAFT'S FREEDOM.

William H. Taft, Republican nomi-
nee TO the Presidency, enjoys wide
degree Of freedom in his candidacy
that falls to but few men posing for
the national vote of this country, in
his perfect immunity from any touch
of questionable or reproachful record
in his own career
He stands unmarked of the scandal
monger and beyond the reach of the
slanderer; he has no past to hide, nor
slur over, nor account for to the ex-
acting and fault-hnding; what he is
and who he is and all he stands for,
are elemental items of the widest
public knowledge in America, else he
would not have the outspoken en-
dorsement of the man whose shoes
he is TO fiji.
At home in Ohio; at the nations
headquarters in Washington; abroad,
in all lands, the man is known most
honorably and well, and the first
thought Of the ordinary good citizen
of the country, today, when passing
upon his perfect fitness for the great
post, is that of security; the assur-
ance that with Taft at the head of
affairs, the people will have man
who knows the least and largest de-
tail of governmental life and its pro
cesses, wrought by deep experiences
in place and touch with a great ma
tion's methods and men, and, him
self, an administrative adviser of ac-
ceptability and renown.
There is nothing in all the mans
life, public or private, that calls for
word of explanation or that raises
scintilla of doubt or distrust, and
with this immunity he goes before
the people as one Of them, clean, high
principled and equipped profoundly
for the tasks and achievements Of
popular government.
