SOME OF Mr.. TAFT's
CIVIC CONVICTIONS

= Editor Advertiser: 1t will not be
deemed inopportune to refer at this
time TO certain views held by Mr..
TAFT. who SO many will be thankful
to see the successor in the presidential
office of the great man who is now
so bravely. vigorously and wisely fill
Ing that posltion-a position made IL
lustrious by the men holding 1t, from
the days of Washington to the present
time.
In -Four Aspects of Civic Duty" Mr..
Taft writes as follows anent certain
matters. OF "Parlor Socialists" he
says: II think this class is, for the
time, on the increase, but 1 am glad
to believe that among educated men
the class is only that of faddists. "
The spectacle OF men who enjoy all
the Injuries of life, with trained SER
wants and costly establishments, de-
claiming against the social order and
the injustice done TO the poor and suf-
fering in the community, is not one to
attract the sympathy OF sensible men.
The right of property has
played quite as important part in
the development of the human race
as the right of personal liberty. In
deed, the two rights are SO associated
that 1t is hard to separate
them in d historical discussion. i.
Capital represents and measures the
difference between the present condi-
ton of society and that which pre-
vailed when men lived by what their
hands would produce without imple-
ments or other means of increasing
the result OF their labor; that is, be-
tween the barbarism of prehistoric
ages and modern civilization"
Speaking OF the tendency to avoid
jury duty. Mr.. Taft says 1t arises in
the disposition of causes In jury trials
in our courts. We may well look, he
says, to the English method, where
lawyers are 30 well trained and judges
so skilled in pushing trials that cases
which in this country would take three
or four weeks ere disposed OF there
in a day or a day and half. Counsel
are not permitted to divert the atten-
ton OF the jury to irrelevant circum-
stances and TO absurd theories. eThe
Judge retains control and pushes the
trial, both because 1t usually results
In a juster Judgment,ond Also because
neither the time of the court nor OF
the jury ought 10 be taken up with
histrionic exhibitions OF counsel for
either side, or with the dragging, te-
dious. and often irrelevant 4cross-ex-
aminations OF supposedly important
witnesses"
OF remissness In the observance OF
law, Mr.. Taft says: 'The public det-
rlment arising from violations Of law.
by immunity from prosecu.
ton or punishment can hardly be
oyerstated' Regarding prohibition,
