Secretary Taft is a busy man,
winding up his affairs in the War
department, preparatory to his
resignation on July l or before
that date, if possible. No official
announcement of the selection of
General Luke E. Wright as his
successor has been made from
the White House, but it is ad-
mitted there that the Tennes-
seean has been rendered the po-
sition, and that he has indicated
his willingness to accept it.
Some excitement was created
in army and navy political circles
in Washington over the publicity
given, by direction of the Presi-
dent, to the letter which Secre-
tary Taft delivered to President
Amador of Panama on May IL,
demanding the suppression OF
fraud in the presidential cleo
tons to be held there in July.

completely in the murder of Goe,
bel. In the eight years since the
shooting of Goebel this young
man, Powers, was tried for his
life four times; three times the
jury found him guilty, the fourth
time the jury disagreed, stand
ing two for conviction and ten
for acquittal; and the states
governor, after a thorough in
vestigation of all the supposed
evidence against Caleb Powers,
declares in favor of his innocence
and pardons him, restoring him
to the rights and privileges OF
citizenship.
''All's we'll that ends well, -
uuoth William Shakespeare, but
that is only true in dramatic
plays. 1t is not true in real life,
as any one can see in the case OF
Caleb Powers. Eight years OF
his life have been embittered and
rendered useless. And if all this
time he was conscious of inno-
cence as to the charge made ag-
aipst him, it must have caused
him to lose faith in courts and
juries as they exist in Kentucky.
And, then, how is the state 60
ing to atone for the eight years
of incarceration? Can the per-
sonaI loss and indignity be ade-
uuately atoned for? Oh, no, all
is not we'll that ends we'll in act
ual life. Suppose this man had
been hanged according to the
verdict of three jury trials and
some time after execution the in
nocence of the victim was fully
established by the confession OF
the really guilty man, could the
state of Kentucky restore to life
the dead man? Of course not
therefore, all could not have been
well.
Fortunately, the mans life
was not taken; but his liberty
was, his good name also was
eclipsed for years; and for this
great evil to the prisoner the
state of Kentucky can make nc
suitable amends. 1t is therefore
plain that all is not well, though
it may end well.
There is general approval oil
Governor Wilson'S pardon, SIM
ply because there had been for 9
long time a general belief in the
innocence of the accused man.
There is little or no evidence ag'
ainst him. The little that the
prosecution adduced was far
fetched and flimsy. His convic
ton three times was due to in
tense political excitement. Whe1
calmed down even Kentucky re
Tented and set the accused maj
free.
Goebel was killed by some one

sent difficulties, as follows: Over
capitalization of railroads, the a.
mendment of the antitrust law,
the curtailment of the power Of
the courts in the case of injunc-
tions, popularity known as 'anti-
injunction" legislation, and pos
tai savings banks; and one other
plank which it is feared may
cause some friction is the one in
dorsing the national forest policy
of the Administration. The for
est service stands especially high
with the President and he has
succeeded in overruling the OBJ
jections of Speaker Cannon who
emphatica1ly objected to it in its
present form. It'now appears,
however, that arguments are to
be presented soon to the Presi-
dent and Secretary Taft which
will go to prove that q too en-
thusiastic Endorsement of the
present forest policy may cost
the party many votes in Novem-
Der.
AS to. the 'anti-injunction"
plank, the present draft of the
platform contains,a plank favor
ing the restriction of the power
of the courts to grant injuncr
tons, but this does not mean
that the plank would commit the
party to the policy Of legislating
injunctions out of existence, or
even of exempting labor organi-
cations from their operation, as
some people assume. Neither
does it limit the imposition of a,
penalty for contempt ofss1n in
junction to convictions by a jury.
If Mr.. Tafts advisers believe
that such a plank would be ad-
visable, doubtless he would cor
daily indorse and stand upon it,
but such a plank fills the older
conservative" Republicans with
dismay, while many politicians
are opposed to it on general prin-
ciples, only recognizing in it some
"anti-injunction" pr ronounce E.
ment. 4
The utmost harmony prevails
regarding the currency. plank OF
the platform. It congratulates
the party. on the enactment OF
