THE BALTIMORE SUN FOR TAFT

The most significant and, by
all odds, the most influential
event of the past week in Mary
land politics, is the Baltimore
Suns announcement of Its deter
mination to support Mr.. Taft,
and the lucid, judicial-minded
editorial in which it sets forth
the reasons which have led it
to this decision. We have no
doubt that the Sun has taken
this stand only after the most
careful and perhaps painful de-
liberation. 1t is no light and
iaunty affair for such a journal,
holding such a relation as the
iGH7s SH7 holds holds to to the the Democrat c
party and the Democratic voters
of Maryland, to have to refuse
its support to the nominee of
its party. Only the most con-
straining reasons could lead it
to such a step. But the Sotn feels
that it has those reasons and
sets them forth in the editorial
mentioned with great simplicity
and temperance, but with very
convincing force. We quote
SIT is the judgment Of the Sun that
the material welfare of the people OF
the United States-industrial aud tinan-
cial-would be promoted to a greater
degree by the election of Mr.. Taft than
by the election of Mr.. Bryan that their
rights would be safeguarded as carefully
by Mr.. Taft as by Mr.. Bryan.
s'The Sun is convinced that the "arm
of the law" persontied by President
of balanced Judgment, with Thorough
knowledge of the lava man o( steady
purpose, just aud resolute-wouId prove
a better defender of the rights OF the
people, would do more to promote their
normal welfare, than the Big Stick has
done in the hands of Mr.. Roosevelt uI
than the Big Club should do in The hands
of Mr.. Bryan. 1t is our deliberate Judg-
ment that for the next four years the
material interests OF the peupIe would De
safer with Mr.. Taft at the head OF the
national Government than with MIR.
Mr.. Bryan. We further believe that
while lawbreakers would be brought Il"
account by Mr.. Taft with as little fear
or favor as Mr.. Bryan could display, the
methods employed by Mr.. Taft would
not curtail the workingman's opportuni-
ties for employment by disturbing the
business Of law-abiding men and corpora
tions, as has been witnessed III the last
few years. Mr.. Taft's experience in i'm
portant administrative posts, his judicial
temperament, his patience and thorough
ness in investigation, justify the belief
that as President lie would execute the
law faithfully and well, but not speclA,
cularly. And while this type of man
ought to be in the White Ilunse all the
time, lie seems to be especially needed
now, when the country is emerging from
an industrial and financial depression,
which brought distress and suffering
into many homes.
"We do not question Mr.. Bryan's sim
cerity or his devotion to the interests oI
the people. But we believe that the ma
terial welfare of the natiun would be
safer in the hands OF President OF Dir.
Taft's temperament and calm Judgment,
and for this reason We favor his election
TO the Presidency.
ave believe the election OF Mr.. Taft
would tend to hasten the restoration OF
prosperous business conditions. We be-
lieve that his administration will be pru-
dent. Therefore we support him from
a sense OF public duty"

ORDER OF FoRESTERS' RATES.
Radical Scale Changes Will Affect
100000 Members.

TORONTO, Ontario. March when
the supreme court of the Independent Or
der Of Foresters meets in June, it will
ratify an increase in rates and a re-
scaling of charges to members, dating to
1899. that will materially affect 100000
members of the order.
The new members will be put out on
the scale of charges of the national con-
gress fraternal table. which will be an
increase over the raise in rates put in
force by the 1. o. F.. in 1899. The most
striking change will be that affecting pres
ent charges to the older members that
came into the order prior to 1898. They
will be asked OF pay either in lump sum
or in another way. enough to bring them
up to date in comparison with what the
the rates charged for at that age by the
order are now.
Those who cannot pay the increased
rate will have the face value of their
policy correspondingly decreased.

about the corner of Sd street and Florida

him under arrest the sergeant saw two
young colored men come from the grocery

one man in custody he was unable to
get the others An investigation showed
that the store had been entered and flour,
canned goods and meats had been piled

whom are now obtaining relief in his
court. l wish to say that the same had no
proper place in his decree and was purely
gratuitous on his part. The proceeding In
the supreme court was in accordance with
the practice and the law in South Caro-
lima, and if this had not been so the court
would have refused to assemble and hear
the same. The result of this proceeding
cannot be foretold.
However, it is hoped to show that it is
will aid in overthrowing him who
now usurps the rights of the state.
1t would, no doubt, be as useless
to explain the purpose of this pro-
ceeding to him as it was to explain
the law and the facts in the case in
which he has assumed jurisdiction.
am not fearful as to the opinion the
learned judge may entertain with regard
to this proceeding. 1t is surprising that
he regards any move on the part OF the
state to protect her rights against those
who would despoil her as unwarranted.
Conduct Unseemly."
His conduct has been most unseemly,
and the state of South Carolina must
look to the United States Supreme Court
for the preservation Of it's sovereign
powers.
II am extremely gratiied to know that
Mcssrs Murray Patton and McSWeen,
Members of the state dispensary commits
sion, have refused to accept the receiver
ship offered them. and that their patriot
ism cannot be shaken by the hope of any
reward which may come at the hands of
uSurper.
Il believe we will be finally successful
in the defense of the state. but whatever
the result, We will defend her TO the last
extremity OF the law. Knowing the
righteousness of our cause, ! believe we
will succeed. and that the grafters have
