The child who is pampered andprotect-

just the same way with governments.

Forty years of it have produced lot

Taft's Acceptance Speech.

It is significant, and hopeful sign
for democratic success that the repub-
lican candidate for the presidency de-
voted most of his speech in accepting
the notification of his nomination, to a
discussion of the democratic platform,
rather than to an analysis of the one
on which he is himself to stand. The
speech was characteristic one. Digni-
fed in tone and manner, plausible and
compromising in matter, it presented
in style of expression and method OF
thought great contrast to the some
what ill-tempered and impetuous denun-
Citations characteristic of Mr.. Roosevelt,
and to the evidently sincere and clear
cut declarations of Mr.. Bryan, when
they have had the same subject to dis
cuss For all Mr.. Taft's promise ito
follow in the footsteps of his illustrious
predecessor, he would be quite as un-
likely to do it as Mr.. Van Buren, was
when he used that phrase in Jackson's
administration, The vested sbig bust
ness interests would have little to
fear from Mr.. Taft. By temperament.

bent and training, heis tactful, suave,

he could carve out career for himself
better in the United States than in

at first only as a Sunday paper. This
was in 1879. The paper had nm uphill

But. though Mr.. Mack has never been
talked of for president, he did have a
vice presidential boom at. Denver,
although he did not foster it himself,
and he has been mentioned more than
once in connection with the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor OF New
York. There would be one good rea-
son why he could not run for the presi-
dency. anyway. That Is the fact that
he was born in Canada. He celebrated
his fftieth birthday the 24th of July,
just the day before his elevation to his
recent honors. In his school days In
London, Ontario province, he had for
chum John Macdonald, now well
known as the editor of the Toronto
Globe. Editor Macdonald and Editor
Mack have kept up their friendship of
boyhood days. Mr.. Macdonald is a
