MIR. Taft's Letter Of Acceptance,
OMAHA, July @.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: Mr.. Taft's letter OF acceptance is
something far higher and broader than
the ordinary formality which attends upon
nominations to the presidency. 1t is a
great state paper, one OF a very few which
public men in our country have ever pro-
duced. 1t lie even more. 1t is in the nature
Of a judicial judgment upon public ques-
tons which now deeply concern the nation.
l am not wholly content with MI. Taft's
fervid endorsement Of the Roosevelt poll
cies,' but this was all discounted in adj
vance as sure to come, and is wholly re-
lieved by the strong tone Of "reassur-
ance" with which he declares, with slngu-
lar force and felicity, that in every way
and among all the people. railroad corpora
lions and all other corporations and every
American citizen. rich and poor, high and
low, white, black or copper-colored, the
men Of labor and the men OF capital, shall
have equal and exact justice under the
law. For fine candor. open declarations
and strong, simple and clear statement,
MT. Iatts discussion OF the paramount
questions Of the times goes far to give him
new titles to greatness as an American
statesman, which has been long recognised
by the people OF the country.
1 also see In the remarkable letter a
bold and brave proclamation to the entire
American people which summon them,
by both argument and appeal, to rise up
and defend orderly government against
dangerous tendencies. Let every citizen
read and study this great document, espe-
cially on the labor question, and the in
dictments Of the democratic platform,
which are peculiarly powerful. In this and
other ways II seems to me that he re-
inforces appeal by argument which is
simply invincible. All through this re-
markable production 1 find such a spirit
OF righteousness and justice as to suggest
that OF the Immortal Cleveland himself.

The West for Taft.

Something of a jolt was given the
sanguine hopes of the Bryan following
by he Cincinnati Enquirer's recent edi
torial in which * declared that Bryan
was losing ground in the Wesc.
The Enquirer is recognized as a pa
per that only speaks editorially on

convinced that the facts justify It's ut
terance. 1t is in position TO as
certain the facts. LIS vast army of
correspondents keep 1t in close touch
wi n conditions al a distance, and
upon une repor,s received through
these and other agencies it bases the
conviction that the Republicans will
hold their own in NE greas Western.

have been received with enthusiasm.
This opinion is in keeping with M
views expressed by the New York
Suns special correspondent, VINO mas
recently visited the chief cen;ers in
the West, and record the impression
of the political drift. He finds ina
Taft and Roosevelt are linked in po-
pular esteem; that TAFT is considered
the log cal successor of the President,
who has brought into national poll
tics something of the sweep and pro-
gressiveness OF Western sentiment.
Tha. Bryan is not blind 10 these
tendencies is Indicated by the absolu e
silence he maintained when faced
with the Enquirer's opinions and
the report that he is seriously thinking
of making sysematsc attack upon
Roosevelt wiki the hope of destroying
his popularity and so undermining the
Taft sentiment.
At the same time as the Cincinnati
Enquirer is predicting a Republican
victory in thew est the Baltimore

PROTECTION DOES

of tobacco and may other articles.
It is also proposed to deny Protection

This is equally impracticable If Pro-
