Would Taft Re President in Fact or
 RoOSevelt's AIOuthpiecee

Baltimore Sun.
 MT, Taft although introduced in na- tional politics by president Mckinley. has been under the Rooseveltian infiu. ence and has lived in the Rooseveltian atmosphere for several years. He has been the faithful friend and adherent of the President in this period. He has been his spokesman at times. He has executed the Presidents policies. He has been MT Roosevelt's right hand man, loyalty and zealously serv- ing the President in any capacity in which the latter demanded his services. Having thus identified himself with the President and with Rooseveltism-be- ing saturated. so to speak. with the Rooseveltian policies--many of MT. Taft's fellow-citizens, Republicans as well as Democrats. have concluded that if he is elected President his admins tration would be in all essentials a Roosevelt administration, They. main tain that MT. Roosevet's dominating purpose in securing the nomination of cessor will be man who will adhere undeviatingly to the Roosevelt pro- gram.

Taft may be q man of too strong and forceful Individuality to be swamp ed in the personality and policies Of his predecessor Teniperamentally. MT. Taft and MT. Roosevelt have nothing in common. Mir.

Something to Work For.

hAaCOH NEWS.
 Several days ago The News suggest ed 100000 club as a means of cen- tering interest in progress and devel- opment here in Macon.
 There is no reason on earth why Macon should not have such an organ ization and do a great deal in the course Of a few years towards a re- aliZation of this hope Macon has all the natural advantages on which to build up such movement. Other cities have done so on fewer capabilities. ever have one great element of suc- cess that Macon seems to lack very much at this particular time. Besides natural advantages and resources, it takes pluck, energy and unity of ac. tion to accomplish great things along this or any other civic line.
 This suggestion of few days is re- turned to us this afternoon by a sim liar movement that is really on in Montgomery. Ala, and which is mak. ing great progress. business man of Macon yesterday received a letter from correspondent in the Alabama city. The letter itself had no refer ence to the growth of Montgomery, and was merely one like thousand of let- ters that go out of Macon every day. But in this letter was card calling attention to the past, present and the future ambitions of Montgomery On one side of the card is a birdseye view OA N4OHlS emery, BuOWlnB some or the new and larger buildings of the city, On the same side of this card is the legend concerning population. It reads "30.346 in 1900; 62,407 in 1907; 1OO,0 900 in l9lO."
 The reverse side of the card shows the railroad and river facilities of the city with a short sketch of what the prospective settler may hope to get in the shape of transportation facilities and freight rates.
 These cards are sent out in all the business letters that leave Montgom- cry. each concern keeping a supply of them on hand. Thus in a cheap and effective manner is the cIty kept in
 The best feature of such a method of working is that 1t keeps the protect always fresh in the minds of the Mont. somery folks themselves. They have an object and are always working to 1t.
 Now, if Macon had some such similar object in mind. the people here could work a great deal better and there would be more likelihood of that unity of action that is absolutely necessary for municipal success or progress. Some common ground on which to meet and Intngle our energies Is what we folks in Macon need. Individually we are all to the good, but we need ! team work mighty bad, mighty bad | indeed

rHr nrrunIIcAN rTcKrr.

The Republicans have placed before the country as their candidates for President and Vice President two men of decided ability and thoroughly quail flied for the positions they seek. sec- retary Taft has a greater hold upon the real good feeling of the country than any other man in public life. There Is a sort of spasmodic admi- ration for President Roosevelt on the part of the Republicans and some Democrats. but there is an unmistak- able feeling. bordering on affection, for Secretary Taft that Is not confined to party limits. He has created the im- pression that he is just and level headed man. free from cranks and ec- centricities.
 MT. sherman has been a member of Congress many years and stands high in his party's councils and is well thought of by his political opponents. The ticket is strong at both ends and for the good of the country 1t Is we'll that this Is so. The ofiice of Vice President is a highly honorable one and should always be filled by a man thoroughly qualified to be President in case of emergency.
 The Democrats now know what they will have to face as to candidates and platform. The Republicans are com mitted by act and declarations to cen- tralized government and to the princi- pie of a tariff for protection. If the Democrats will make q platform in distinct opposition to these two things and cut out new ideas and isms that have been fastened on to their plat form in recent years they will give the Republicans the hardest fight they have had since the days of Cleveland and with very great reason to hope for success.

This Is My 57th Birthday
Charles E. LIttlefield.

Representative Charles E. Littlefield of the Second Maine District, who re- gently announced his intention to re- tire from Congress and begin the prac- tice of law in New York City, was born June 21. 1851. in Lebanon. Maine. His father was Baptist minister The son left school at Is and began to earn his own living as a carpenters helper. Early in life he made up his mind to study law. He had natural traits ot character that especially fitted him for the legal profession-ready speech, a level head and great determination. He first entered politics as a member of the Maine Legislature in 1885. Later he became speaker of the House. His next public office was that of attor- ney general of Maine. in which position he successfully handled many impor- tant cases. Tn 1892 he was a delegate to the Republican National Convention at Minneapolis and in 1896 at St. Louis he seconded the nomination of Thomas B. Reed. In 1899 MT. Littlefield was elected to Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Nelson Dingley and he was four times reelected.

seryatism. and Republican radicalisn in Congress will be curbed by the man in the White House. But. after all, the consideration. which should carry the greatest weight with party leaders. with both Republicans and Democrats. is the imperative necessity for the restoration of normal conditions in trade and industry.
 We have had radical policies in the national administration for the isst several years. The results. are well known to the voters. Congress and State legislatures and the President went to extremes which produced dis- astrious consequences. Recently the majority of the Democrats Of Georgia voted against the rensr,ination of Gov ernor Smith on the ground that his ag- gressive anti-corporst'1n attitude and the threat of further hostile iegislation had injured the material interests of the State. had deprived thousands of Georgians of employment and had pro- duced industrial and commercial de- pression. It seems to us that neither political party can mistake the signifi- canoe of the Georgia election. nor af- ford to shut its eyes willfully or unin- telligently to the meaning of that elec- ti0n.

SUNDAY, JUNE s1. 1908.

Sometimes one almost feels sorry for a thief who has been buncoed. There was Mrs. David Morgan's butler. in New Y6rk. who saw her habituaily wearing at dinner a magnificent pearl necklace which he figured was worth at least sf5,ooo. The desire to possess it got the better of his honesty and he stole 1t and got away with 1t. only to learn when he tried to dispose of it that the pearls were limitations and really of little value. He was so dis gusted at the fimham game that had been played on him that he chucked the necklace into East River. It was mean trick to play on a high-toned burglar.

1t would be impossible for a whale to swallow man. In one place we are told that it was a whale and in another it is called "a great fish," but in either case thee scientists tell us human being could not remain three days and nights inisde 6 fish and then come forth alive, and hence they pro- nouncs the story impossible. but we have other events described in the Bi- bls that sound as incredibls to us as that one does, and shall we disbelieve all of them because we fail to see how such things could be7 Again we ask. where would it end if each discards the part he thinks is not completely true as It is written? Shall we all sell out our faith in the Bible as the Missouri preacher did?

Liberty. Properly. and Jaw.

New ork Times.
 Tn the hearing at Chicago upon the anti-injunction plank Mir Fuller. rep resenting the labor organizations, said: "Is not a parsonal liberty greater than property? We have too much respect for property. too little for personal liberty"
 Nobody asked MT. Fuller whose lib- ertY he was thinking of His idea seems to be that only trades unionists have a right 10 liberty, and that thelr liberty includes the right to break the law. Even while he was speaking a Pennsylvania coal mine was destroyed by dynamite. and we read that for eign miners have refused to return to work since the explosion" Did the foreign miners have any right to work in peace and safety? Would the trades unionists have any grievance If they were laid under an injunction to re- spect the lives of their competitors? Have the workers who go in fear of their lives any liberty such as is guar anteed by our form of government un- der the Declaration of Independence, which MT. Gompers and MT. Fuller wish to cancel? Are not the iniunc- tions issued by trades unions more cruel and preemtory than any issued by the courts. and is there not a score of them for each legal injunction?
