There is considerable ground
for qualification over the prog
ress of the Taft boom. The ear
ly primaries, following the dec
laration for Taft in over sixty out
of lightweight counties in Ohio,
seems destined to clear up all
doubt which may have existed as
the situation in that state and
the reports from all sections in
dicate that the strength of the
Secretary of War is growing rap
idly. The Taft people figure that
their candidate will have 5O4
votes on the first ballot in the
national convention without
drawing on any state which has
a favorite son, while they also
count on an additional 1O9 votes
as good as assured which they
believe will be cast for Taft 491
is all that are needed to nomi-
nate. 1t has always been one of
the strong points of the Repub-
lican party that it stands stanch-
ly behind the party nominee and
the earlier it is decided who the
nominee shall be the better it is
for the party at the polls. An
early decision affords ample time
for the disappointed ones to for
get their disappointment and to
get into line.

While everything is moving
harmoniously toward a united
party in the Republican conven-
tlon, the troubles of the Demo-
Gratis are multiplying as the date
OF their convention approaches.
The opponents of William J Bry-
an are seriously considering the
advisability of making a formal
appeal to the peerless leader to
withdraw from the race, as they
say it is obvious that while he
may control the convention he
cannot win at the polls and that
he ought to show sufficient pa
trlotlsm to eliminate himself, to
stand aside in favor of a candi-
date who can win. 1t seems to
be the hope of the anti-Bryan
Democrats that they can win
with Governor Johnson of Min
nesota, but the Bryanites are
convinced that no Democrat could
poll as many votes as Mr.. Bryan.
The prospects are all bright for
a serious division in the party
accompanied by all the rancor
and anger which the Democracy
always injects into a political
contest.

Senators Gallinger and Brun-
ham of New Hampshire have de-
cided to follow the lead of Sen
ator Foraker and have prevented
the confirmation of one Charles
Fairbanks, whom the President
nominated for Pension Agent for
New Hampshire. The only charge
against Mr.. Fairbanks is that he
is presidential appointee and
was not endorsed by the Sena-
tors. On the other hand, the
President appointed Fairbanks
only after the two Senators show
ed an absolute inability to agree,
each having his own candidate.
The President solved the dead
lock by nominating Fairbanks,
who is admitted to be a clean
man of high character. The his
tory of all fights between the
President and Senators has been
that the Senators injured them
selves more than they did the
President and it is not likely that
public sentiment will be with the
Senators rather than with Presi-
dent Roosevelt in this case.

Republicans have only twice violated
the program of alienation II, how
ever, the nomination should go to the
west, which would be the natural or
der of things, Mr.. Fairbanks and Mr..
Taft are the only figures who appear
conspicuOusly on the horizon.
"Mr TAFT is already sure Of the
Ohio delegation; the state committee
has eulogistically indoTssd him, de-
spite the strenuous opposition of Sen
ator Foraker, and there is no doubt Of
his ability to hold his own until the
delegates are chosen II must also
be borne In, mind that the progressive
element of the party has a decided
advantage in having q definite candi-
date in Mr.. Taft. He is their rally
ing point. while the conservatives
throughout the country are not unit
ed. This Is their handicap: and it
undoubtedly accruea to the benefit OF
the candidate upon whom Mr. Roose-
velt's special favor rests"
Up to Ohio Republicans.
The whole trend OF national
thought, so far as the Commercial
Bulletin is able to discern it, points
to just this one thing. The whole
country is in a good deal Of perplex-
ity 1t has been confronted with a
financial problem. which was as un-
looked for and apparently inexplica-
BILE as the San Francisco earthquake.
Nobody believes that there was any
real cause for it, but 1t happened. and
now the question that confrontS us at
the opening of this New Year Is what
are we going to do to restore to this
country that confidence in our great
resources which We all believe in and
yet so many are afraid to bank on.
A national election in itself is al
ways disturbing cause In the com.
merCial and financial world, but the
readiest way to bring back that con-
tidence which we all desire is to give
assurance to the world on the 10th of
June from the Coliseum at Chicago
that the Republican party has select
ed William H. Taft as its nominee
with such enthusiasm. such assur-
ance Of success. that the result of
that election will be known and de-
termined from that very hour.
The beginning of that task lies with
the Republican voters of Ohio at this
very hour. They can by their unani-
nous action at the next state conven-
tion make that whole result sure.
That is why the Commercial Bulle.
tin is devoting its efforts in behalf Of
Secretary Taft.

HERRICK FOR TAFT
Former Governor in Interview Com
pares Present Taft Leadership
to McKinley's In 1885.

Myron T. Herrick, former governor
Of Ohio is one of the most enthuSias-
tic of the many prominent public men
who are supporting Taft in all Sec
tions of the country. In a recent all
thorized interview Governor Herrick
explains, as follows, his belief that
Ohio Republicans should be solidly
behind the big secretary of war:
There ought not to be any doubt az to
my position. l made 1t clear mOnths ago
that | thought Ohio had another Oppor-
tunity to present a president to the ma
ton, and that all loyal Republicans
ought to get together and make secure
that opportunity. Never since William
Mckinley was by universal consent made
the candidate of our state in 1895 has
there been such genuine and devoted ad-
vocacy among the rank and file Of Ohio
Republicans Of any man for any Office
as that which neRs come to william II.
Taft. 1t is happy coincidence that
most of the Close friends who inaugur-
ated the Mckinley movement are back
Of Taft, and 1t Is an unhappy coincidence
that few Of those who opposed McKin-
Icy are now opposing Taft.
These friends of Mckinley in Ohie
have watched with interest and pride
the career Of Judge Taft They remsm-
ber that 1t was Mckinley who made Taft
governor of the Philippines and started
him on the road to the presidency and
they recall that 1t was Senator Hanna
who first suggested Taft as a prospective
candidate for that high Office Secretary
Taft is the natural successor Of William
Mckinley, born into a greater and better
day. The real secret of his strength is
that he has shown himself Splendidly
equipped for strong, wise and tactful
executive work Ohio Republicans would
not be for him If they did not know that
the interests of prosperity, of labor and
Of national development would be safe
in his hands.
Personally, l have the highest regard
for Mr.. Taft He is in all respects the
kind Of man l would like to see in the
White House as President Rooaevelta
successor. That he is at once the most
desirable and most availahlS candidate
is my belief; that he will be nominated
and elected Is my conviction,
The developments Of the last few days
in Washington indicate that the contest
has already reached the stage where 1t
is the field against Taft. just as it was
the field against Mckinley at a similar
period of the contest In 1856, That II
the most practical evidence Of his
strength, and It shows further that his
nomination will result in a united party
and a victorious campaign. ,aE
That Ohio Republicans will be solid for
Taft all Republicans In Ohio now know,
and all other Republicans will know az
soon as our state convention Is held.

1t is somewhat significant that
the two Democratic newspapers
IN washington are bending their
every energy to defeat the NOM
nation of Secretary Taft. They
appreciate keenly that he would
poll more Democratic votes than
any other Republican and that
against him Bryan's chances
would be hopeless.

when called upon by a depositor
shall be closed up.

GARFIELD on EUROPEANS.

No less an authority than Secre-
tary Garfield has stated that the Eu-
ropean immigrants from the South
OF Italy have proved most satisfac-
tory citizens for the mainland and
good workmen.
This statement has been made by
the Secretary since his arrival in the
Islands.
We believe that the Secretary
ought to know. Having served as
the head OF the Department OF Com
merce and Labor, he has been in d
position to gain the facts. When hs
states that although the Italian from
the South of Italy has been widely
credited with being cult-hroat, ex
perience has proved him to be goot
worker and desirable citizen. we are
obliged to accept this comment, as
the consensus of American opinion
as gained through the many avenues
of the Federal Administration for OBJ
tanning facts.

any opposition from the men who
want to more thoroughly American
ize Hawaii without injuring the in
dustries or the population with which

PEOPLES TRIBUTE TO ROYALSON

The great outpouring of all citi-
zens to pay their last tribute Of re-
spect to the late Prince David kawa-
nanakoa was an expression of the
sincere sympathy of the people, and a
striking evidence of how completely
all past bitter feeling has been elm
mated from the community life of
Hawaii.
The combination of civic and mill
tary organizations supplemented by
the National army and navy repre-
sensations, was such as has never
been seen in the Islands at any pre-
vious time. The National represen-
tation was especially significant as
showing that the Nation considers IT.
self part of Hawaii as much as Ha-
wall is a part of the Nation. The an
cient customs are respected and the
representative of a one-time ruling
family is given all the honors of his
high station among the people of his
race.
A striking and significant feature
Of the parade was the appearance of
the organized native sons and daugh-
tiers Of Hawaii. Perhaps at no other
time in history have the native Ha-
waiians been so thoroughly organized
as at present. While holding to all
that is best from the past. the asso-
citation of the people into beneficiary
orders is very sensible method OF
meeting the new conditions.
Sad as was the task of the day, the
native societies marching in long
lines furnished demonstration that
the estimable memories of the Ha-
waiian race will be carefully pre-
served in the broader development OF
National character in which the peo-
pie Of Hawaii are now included.

TAX COMMISSION
TO REPORT soon
Will Not Recommend Any
Radical Changes
In Law

The Tax Commission will file its
preliminary report with the Governor
on the LIST of July.
The Commissioners are now lat
work getting their conclusions in
shape and brushing them up for the
formal report.
It is the general impression that no
radical changes will be recommended
In the laws. but some of the rough
corners will be knocked or. The
Commissioners have found It practi-
cally impossible to go into the sub
ject of taxation as they would like,
on account of the limitations of time.
A beginning will be made for i'm
provement, but taxation is such a
complicated problem that radical ref
ormation will not be attempted after
such brief study.
1t is believed that some features of
the present laws will be quite severe
ly criticized, although no sweeping
changes will be proposed.

we are having too much prosperity

duction of the tariff.
