NEWYORkiTlS.

To those who in this busy life
lsometimes) have time to think and to
those who have seen the State street
and Broadway and Forty-second
street lope, in Chicago and Gotham
there is some food for reflection in the
letter of man in the New York Sun.
You remember Walter Bagehot's
very wise observation about talking.
how it acted as safety valve for dan
gerously surplus energy. Have you
ever noticed what notable exception
you New Workers are, as a rule how
you talk and talk. and yet never act
and act? You talk up town and down
town; on the west side and the east
side; at noon and at midnight; but
you are buying and selling the world
everywhere you talk. You take a day
off to rush down to Coney Island. and
there you take a fearfully active rest
and talk and talk and talk.
How in the world do you do it:
You're not robust looking. and hy-
gienic eating seems to be out of your
line. Furthermore you apparently
never sleep. I wonder il your secret
is that you never worry. Still
think that some day you will change
the Coney-Island-b day form OF
energy for a more human kind"

gave him most of all they had to give
when the need was great?

Well, maybe not; one don't like TO

the front as an army nurse. Hundreds

TAFT AND THE PUBLIC.

Mostsofs Taft's life has so far been
spentan the service of the public.
And too, the most Of his service has
been on the bench. Some account
then. of his record should be placed
before the public. The decisions of
Mr.. Taft show that he has nothing
to fear In bringing them to light. Let
US examine his decisions on the labor
question. AS president is, and
should be. elected by the whole peo-
pie the record of any public man who
may be considered for that office
should be scrutinized, not in regard to
the relation it may have to any one
particular class. but in a wider and
greater field-that of service to the
public-the people who may be class
ed as the innocent bystanders."
1t must be remembered also before
reviewing the record of Judge that it
must be viewed as to impartiality,
couhuhSoS dui iIue iSSlluS LOT Cne
merits of the case from all points OF
view.
The first labor case which Judge
Taft tried was in a case in which a
bricklayers' union had dispute with
firm of contractors. There was a
strike. ANY firm which ignores this
request Ca boycott) is hereby notified
that we win not work his material up
on any building nor for any contractor
by whom We are employed" A firm,
ignored the request and We're in turn
boycotted. The firm in turn sued the
union .'for damage done to their bust
ness by wrongful and malicious con
spiracy" The jury gave the plaintiff
damages.
The case was appealed to Judge
Taft of the supreme court. Taft wa:
careful to draw the distinction that a:
far as the case before him was con
cerned it was a boycott. not strike
He expressed himself as careful not t,

defeat was possible and then set about
conquering the difficulty. 1t is the
same with companies, corporations or
parties. So many elements enter into
the determination of a matter, so
many things that are labeled luck"
turn up to affect the settlement, that
it is better to be safe than sure, and
close attention to details always pays
a good dividend, whether the affair is
commercial venture or a political
campaign. Hence it is important for
these who have the management Of
campaign, whether it be for the cleo
ton of a President or a choice of a
candidate for the Common Council, to
admit the possibility of failure and
then devote every energy to making
defeat impossible. This idea appears
to have found a Judgment in the mind
of Chairman Hitchcock, of the Repub-
Iican National Committee, and while
the trend of public opinion is favora-
BILE to the success of his candidate, he
proposes to leave no stone unturned
that may in any way aid the success
of Mr. Taft. The systematic manner
in which he is proceeding is an en-
couraging sign of success. The only
section of the country that is abso-
lutely sure to give its electoral votes
to Mr. Bryan is the solid South. All
the other divisions are debatable
ground, and none of them should be
neglected. Vermont and Maine are
the two States that hold elections be-
fore November. They are nominally
Republican and may as rightly be con-
sidered safe for the party as any two
in the Union, and yet if the normal
September majorities should fail next
month it might have an effect on
doubtful States that would be disas-
trous to Mr.. Taft and all that he
stands for. So it follows that the safe
States of New England must be care
fully cultivated by Mr.. Hitchcock and
his associates, and that they will be,
as we'll as the States in the middle
West, is not open for doubt. The
campaign is young; it will not be in
full swing until October, but there will
be nothing lacking that the wisdom OF
the most sagacious counsellors can de
wise and advise.

The United States will withdraw
it's protection from Cuba in the latter
part of next January and the island
republic WILL from that time forward
proceed to govern itself. Governor
Magoon is confident that the elections
which are to be held Nov. IA, next,
will pass off without disorder, and
that the Cubans will be able to take
hold of the islands governmental af-
fairs and carry them forward success
fully. The provisional government
has done its work we'll, to the salts
faction of President Roosevelt and
the Cubans generally. Next year will
tell the story whether or not the Gu
bans have really learned the lesson of
self government and the proper con-
duct of the sanitary institutions which
the Americans found to be actually
necessary for the health of the peo-
pie. The Cubans~ have been slow to
realize the connection between clean
illness and health. The stories told
of the unsanitary habits of the people
up to the time of the surrender by
Spain shocked the American people,
showing as they did the real reason
for the yellow fever scourge which
threatened the Gulf states as we'll as
Cuba. All this was changed after the
American occupation, and was con-
tinued to some extent under the new
Cuban government Under Governor
Magoon, American methods have sup
planted the Spanish unsanitary modes
of living and it is hoped that the re-
placement of the provisional govern
ment by a Cuban administration will
make no change in this regard. Cuba
on an American basis will be very diff
ferent from what it was under Span
ish rule and while changes like those
which the island is still undergoing
work slowly, in this case there is rea-
son to believe that the reform is
moving, surely, and that in the end it
will prove a great blessing to the Gu
bans.

When one thinks Of the netherlands
the idea of peace and quietude fills the
mind. One can hardly imagine the
Dutch on a rampage. Life goes on in
Holland in such a smooth and gentle
way, like voyaging on a canal, that to
hear of war being declared in the land
of dykes seems preposterous. Why.
The Hague is the home of Peace, and
the very embodiment of calm content.
But there is a limit. even to Dutch
complacency. The Hollanders arc

their pride. and trouble begins to as
