Taft's Qualities.

From the Review Of Reviews
Not only has Taft had the training that
fits him to be President; he has the tenn
perament. 1t would be difficult TO imagine
a temperament better adapted than his
to this difficult task. He is a happy half
way between Mckinley and Roosevelt.
with most of the strength and few Of
the weaknesses Of both. He has the
training Of the lawyer. Of the Judge. OF
the administrator Of the diplomat He
knows the American people. ne knows
the government, he knows the affairs Of
the world. He has an almost unprece-
dented power of handling affairs and
men. Serenity abides with him, and
patience, and Justice. and strength, and
firmness. He may never fire the hearts
OF the people as Roosevelt has. he may
never be looked upon by all as a para
gon OF unpicturesque goodness as was
Mckinley. But If Taft becomes Presi-
dent, he will get results. He will be
master without carrying a whip. He Will
always strive, as we see he has always
striven, TO use infinite pains 10 get at
all the facts. to clarity them, to form
slow but sure judgments, and then to
stand by them. At the White House, II
Taft presides there, will be a great calm.

A Worthy Candidate.

We commend the following announce
ment for office to the attention Of pros
pective candidates throughout the eoun-

realization Of the fact that the destiny
Of the universe and the future salvation
OF the country Is by no means entirely

TO which he aspires. He would like to
be elected-naturally. But he frankly ad-
mits that he can keep right on hauling
in case he isn't elected; and that he is
a pretty good haul hand. anyhow.
The truth is. most candidates take
themselves too seriously by far. They

they seemingly exhaust every possible

We like the candid and manly methods
OF this South Carolinisn who seeks Office
in Edgewood. We have no doubt he would
make an entirely satisfactory county
commissioner. We feel reasonably sure
! he is honest. and we believe he would
be more than apt to do the right thing
at the psychological moment. If we
lived in Edgewood. we should vote for
him. cheerfully. We hope he will be

Millions for the MIIltla.

Few people realize that at the late
session Of Congress SUBSTANTIAL aid was
rendered to the organized militia OF the
country. II was not long ago that, when
the allotment OF 100000 was made for
the equipment OF the militia, the event
was celebrated as big step toward the
encouragement OF the citizen soldiery.
This year the appropriation for the bet
terment OF the National Guard will
amount 20 S5,OOO,OOO. OF this sum 100000
will be used in purchasing clothing and
equipment. A like sum will be used in
paying the militia and defraying the cost
Of the transportation and subsistence OF
those commands which take part in the
coast-defense exercises and in the Joint
maneuvers at the big camps in various
parts Of the country. The remainder of
the sum, Sl,cOOOOO in amount. will be used
in connection with the joint exercises.

Getting Even.

OF course, our merchants and manufac-
turers get perturbed whenever there is
any talk on the part Of foreign nations
of getting even with US for the barrier
we have erected against their trade in
the matter OF a tariff wall, and It is
undoubted that some Of them are bound
TO get even with US in some way or an
other. 1t has not been so long ago that
Germany showed a desire to even things
up a little by discriminating against our
products. but she took another thought
and is waiting-not satisfied
Great Britain has always felt the effect
Of our protective tariff. and though she
would like 10 retaliate. has found IT
pretty hard to discover a way to get
even. But at last she has devised one
retaliatory measure which is bound to
hurt. She now allows American patents
only four years to run in her empire and
territories, unless the goods under the
patent are manufactured under the British
flag. This means. Of course. that in the
manufacture Of a patented article which
has wide sale the holders Of the patent
must establish factories on British soil
somewhere or else stay out OF the highly
profitable British market.
A commissioner has sailed for England
to protest against this regulation on be-
half of the American inventor. and be-
fore sailing he said:
The new patent act has met with such wide
approval among English manufacturers. and the
present Liberal government 50 proud Of the grati
fying reception Of the act. that am sorry to say
there seems little chance Of effectng any material
modification Of the provisions The immediate future
effect Of the law is TO nullify all the advan-
tages accnling to many American manufacturers
from Engand's free trade policy. In fact. the act
accomplishes in many respects the same thing as a
tariff would. As Is well known, not less than
four ave realiatory measures were introduced in
Congress by American manufacturing interests last
session these bills providing that the same treat
Eent be accorded English patentees in America as
the new act provides against American patentees
AS there arc abou. three times as many American
patents registered in England as English in Amer
Tea. American manufacturers concluded TO attempt
to bring about a modification Of the new act by
other means than by passing retaliatory measures"
It has been the pet theory of the high
protecionists that monopoly of the
American market is worth more than
open competition In the markets Of the
worll 1t sounds all right in theory, but
It takes on different color when the
nations who have suffered from our pro-
tective tariff begin to retort in kind. In
effect, this new British patent law. which
has all the force OF a tariff is a turning
of our own weapon against ourselves. not
In malice or in anger, but simply as one
move in the competitive struggle.
American manufacturers may protest
and beg for terms, but undoubtedly Eng
land Is we'll within her rights, and unless

A statement this morning that Gov

II has been an open secret, however, that
the governor has had 20 make heavy per

Important This Year.

AS 20 the Republican nomination for
President, the political atmosphere has
so far cleared that to-day there are only
two possibilities: Secretary Of War Taft
Oh the first ballot or President Roosevelt
for what Senator Bourne insists Will be
a second elective term. Then comes the
selection Of the second place on the
ticket. and here the political atmosphere
Is murky. indeed. and any one Of half
dozen possibilities may get 1t. Perhaps
there is nothing that will be so vital in
the coming campaign as a wise selection
for the Vice Presidency.
When the Constitution was framed it
was clearly in the mind OF the trainers
that the Office Of Vice President should
be second only in Importance to that Of
the President. and that the dignity and
importance Of the Office might be empha-
sized they provided that the man receiv-
ing the highest number Of votes should
be President and his closest rival for the
Office Of Chief Executive should he the

President and Thomas jefferson the sec

Since that time the Office of Vice Presi-
dent has been more or less. always, a
question Of political dicker; Of political
expediency, or geographical consideration.
For these reasons we have had men in
the office who never would have reached
st had there been any but remote pos
sibility that they would be successors TO
the President But that this possibility
is not remote is plainly evident when we
recall the fact that since the foundation
OF the republic no less than five Vice
Presidents have been called to be Chief
Executives
There is some reason to believe that
political expediency viii very largely
control the nomination for Vice President
this year. and that little heed will be paid
10 the obvious danger Of such a course.
The Republican convention, If 1t recog-
rizes its solemn duty 20 the country,

tion of the man who. through some un-
foreseen accident. may be called to the
White House.
