The Rocks Ahead.

Mexican Herald: President Taft
cannot possibly please the Rookie
fellers, the Morgans and the Harri-
mans, and also the La Follettes and
we may add, Mr. Roosevelt. Like
Grover Cleveland, the incoming
president must make his choice.
The money kings demand subservi-
ency, nothing short of it: the radi-
cal reform Republicans demand
Simon-pure Rooseveltism. The
west wants genuine tariff reform;
the tariff-buttreSsed monopolies
want a farcical revision, and will
clamor for it in the name of pros
perity and let well enough alone.
If President Taft could possibly
harmonic his hostile supporters,
! he would, more than Henry Clay be
entitled to be called the great paci-
, ficator.
There is going to esome mighty
interesting politics in the United
States next spring.

Few business men comparing
their balance sheets of July 1, 1908
and July /, 1907, can have faced a
more disagreeable showing than
the treasury at Washington. A
year ago there was surplus on the
years operations of $84,OOO,O0O.
Today there is a deficit of $60,OOO,-
600. Net showing to the bad,
$144,OOOOOO. In private affairs,
such a black result would raise an
instant demand for the most severe
economics. Only by drastic re-
trenchment have railroads and 9th
er corporations been able to stand
up against the depression. But
