Not on the Back Track.

The thing about Mr.. Taft's address
yesterday which should be especially
pleasing, and which we think will be
pleasing to that large number Of
V, rs who believe conscientiously that
President Roosevelt has done the cOun-
try great service by his earnest efforts
to arouse it TO the need of enforcement
of the law against the evil-doer, rich
and poor alike, is the assurance the
Republican candidate gives that he is
going TO steer by tie same chart.
There are few things more difficult
than to inaugurate reforms that seem
TO carry with them menace to bust
ness interests We say seem, because
there are times when an appearance Of
injuring business is almost as bad as
the reality. We are now face to face
with a situation where it is manifest
that any disposition On the part of
Mr.. Taft to take the back track-if
followed by a victory at the polls, and
then, as seems altogether likely, by the
return of boom in business, which ap-
pears to be due whatever happens
would lead in all probability to a gen
eraI slaclIening of interest on the part
of public officials In enforcing the law
against those who are strong enough
to defy it. In that event it would not
take long TO slough back into the old
method of "letting things alone" and
it ought not to take very keen imagi-
nation to predict what would follow.
Either the reforms the President
stands for are worth fighting for or
they are not. If they are, there can be
no relaxation OF public earnestness in
their support. If they are not worth
fighting for, then all the travail, all the
exposures, all the excitement of the
past few years have been noise and
fury, and nothing else. In our judg-
ment, to take a backward step now
would mean that the work would
have to be done again, and under still
more discouraging circumstance.
1t Is great deal better for every
body to understand what we may ex-
pect in the event of Mr.. Tafts election
The character of the man T-ecludes
any appeal to the mob G any play to
the galleries, and to those who believe
that bus;-ess can thrive and flourish
under laws which compel recognition OF
the rights of the many as well as the
privileges Of the few l. is gratifying &c
see Mr.. Taft stand firmly for the policy
that it has been shown conclusively the
country means ultimately TO enforce.

Graft Even There!

One J. B, Corey, of Pittsburg, who
was with the originators of the Prohi-
bition party, declares that graft now
permeates the no-liquid-refreshment

eordIngly, Mr.. Corey has withdrawn
his support.
To the fact tina { there was a lack of
detail in the repcrs of the expenditure
of $4,000, a a.upaign fund col
leeted in that STATE, does Mr. Corey
point, and he adds that the prohibition

The loss that Is infinite gain.
Not the drought Of a cloudless sky.
Not the rust Of a fruitleSS rest.

Where beauty and truth are one,

wife, Mrs. NJ, who was a handsome
woman, nevertheless wore very elabo.

expostulated against this love of dress

excellent wife, and obedient to his
wishes IN other respects, she pursued
her own way, in silk and lace.
One Sunday morning the minister
preached sermon on humility, and

most powerfully. At the conclusion
he leaned over the high board Of the
