Joe Cotton told the st. Louis county

Joe's masters put their creatures on the
bench and utilize them for their own
purposes, criticism will continue. Joe

history showed that judges had always
been friends of liberty: They should
be. but the fact is that there never was
a tyrant so cruel or mean but what he

and there were many before and

Springfield Republican: Wisconsin
is written down as doubtful state
by a correspondent of the New York
Sun. He finds there much unrest
among the people, intense devotion to
politics, deep feeling against
plutocratic powers and influences and
a determination that something shall
be done to stop the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of
wealth and privilege. Hatred of New
York is found on all sides and the
truth is that weakness in New York
is strength in Wisconsin for Bryan
it's an asset that has to be re-
}cognized. Curiously enough the
Germans seem to be quite as bitter as
the rest, and they have heretofore
been q mainstay for republlcanlsm and
conservatism. Hence the conclusion
that the state will need looking after
if it is to kept from the Bryan
column.

Taft is capable OF being president Of
the United States, he ought to be
capable Of giving his views in his own
way, and not find it necessary to have
them revised, polished and approved
by Roosevelt. If Taft is to run to the
president with everything, the
campaign will soon become a Joke,
and if Taft were president. and Roose-
welt in the African wilds, the executive
would be IN a helpless condition with
his motive force so far away.
Certainly republicans have a right to
expect more independence from the
man chosen to be their leader.
The fact is that Taft never in his
life did anything notable on his own
initiative. He has never received
Office from the people, but always by
appointment. He has been told to do
things and tried to do them, more or
less successfully. AS judge in the
injunction matter he carried out the
wishes Of the railroad managers by
imprisoning the strike leaders. In the
various positions in the government
service he struck out no new path,
nothing original emanated from him,
and he was simply reflection for the
time, of the views Of whoever was In
over him. He has been very
plastic in receiving impressions from
authority above him. He served
under Harrison, Mckinley and Roosa-
welt, three very dissimilar person
al1ties, with very different ideas and
policies. Yet Taft was enough like
the Vicar of Bray to take snuff or
not, according as to whether the
eminent gentlemen above him desired
to tickle their nostr1ls or not.
There is nothing IN such a record
Of suppliance to make one believe that
Taft has the courage and independence
to boldly tackle persent-day evils.
