Secretary Taft is undoubtedly
a strong candidate for the rresi-
dental nomination, and if he Sc
cures it, he will Just as undouhted-
ly make a good President; but
whatever he is or may be, it is
quite certain that in shifting his
ground on the tariff question he
loses that attraciiveness with the
rank and file of the Republican
party that would maintain its close
adhesion. 1t will be noticed that
whenever prominent Republican
makes a move toward tariff reform
there is glad acclaim from The
Democratic press, which looks UP
on any breach in the wall of pro-
lection as opening for free trad
ers. Amy Republican who would
thus endorse the attitude Of the
Democratic party on the tariff
question fails in bis sincerity to
those principles that have been the
foundation of Republican success
as well as the foundation of that
brilliant success the United States
has attained AS an industrial ma
tinn. The arguments of the Demo
Gratis that the nonopolisiic trusts
eau only be reached by opening
the country to foreign cnmpetinn
is spccious until it Is compared
with that party's record on the
tariff in the past. 1t has held the
tariff blameable repeatedly for a
variety of alleged DatiouaI ailments
AS it now holds that policy blame.
able for the trusts. The trusts
would welcome tariff reform for
their correction if they could feel
sure they would not be interfered
with in any other manner. The
clamor the Democrats have made
along this line is fOoling few Re-
pubIicans into the belief that there
are more shan Democrats in the
din, and we regret TO note that
Secretary Taft is one Of them.

ideas OF the meaning of socialism
stmew hat confused if ha feels that
The establishment of such q system
would deprive auy man of his
right to gain Il competency. The
fundamental E'riaciple Of socialism
is tha. il is the inherent right of
every man to have this competency
guaranteed him from the moment
of his birth. His ability, whatever
il may develcp into, becomes IL rec.
ognized quantity for the welfare
Of all society. His talents will be
encouraged and fostesed, not for
commercia! gain, bnt to increase
the comfort and happiness of al.
mankind. The notion that one il
dividlal possessing higher mental
ability than another should alone
profit by it is thoroughly selfish.
We have that idea developed to the
maximu;n limit under our present
social system in the stupendous
fortunes that have accrued to indi-
yidual ownership, while thousands
of the less fortunate form the
''bread-lines' Of our great cities.
1t is the recognized 'sanctity" Of
personality that is pressing the So
cial sore to point almost unhear-
able.

Governor Hughes of New York
has indicated that lie will accept
the nomination for President and
his boom is beginning to swell out
considerably. The question as to
what his attitude would be on the
policies that President Roosevelt
has put forward, in the event that
Mr.. Hughes should be elected TO
succeed Mr.. Roosevelt, may best
be answered by the Governor S
attitude towards the people in his
present official position. He has
demonstrated ii capacity to serve
the people that has risen above all
other considerations with him.
Therefore, if the Roosoveltian poll
cies are those of the people-as
they unquestionably are-we
would find Mr.. Hughes, rs Presi-
dent, pursuing them with the same
yigor that Mr.. Roosevelt has
shown, 1t has been said that Gov
ernor Hughes is not popular with
the politicians Of his own party.
We recall, however, that the same
thing was said of Mr.. Roosevelt,
and sor the same reasOn-that both
have put their duty TO the
peopie above the demands of the
politicians. In the meantime, just
keep your eye on Mr.. Hughes OF
New York.

What Woman ean Do for Her Town.

Ii you are living in a small town
you are liable 20 regard your ac-
tivities us narrowed and confined.
But woman who lives in small
place has world which is as signi-
hcan, as any that ever existed ia Il
larger one. Your front yard aud
your back yard are things which,
if properly laid out and beautified.
contribute as much to the social
and moral and ethical life of the
community as anything that could
well be done anywhere. Beauty
IS prime factor in mans weli-be-
ing. If you help to make the
world beautiful You ale doing as
much as anyone can do.
1t is not only here in your yards,
but out in your streets, in your
public squares. in Your schools
and churches, around your depots
and public court houses. that in
teresting and charming results may
be obtained.
1t you are woman of IDEAS and
taste, don't hide your light under
bnsheI: don't stand in your little
front room or kitchen and imagine
that You are forsakea or of no ac-
count. Talk. Express your
views. Soto the people who are
doing things, or who are capable of
doing things, and see if you can
not get some action.
You can see whether your and
other peoples school children are
surrounded with the proper artis-
tic and atfectionate atmosphere
which belongs in the school
whether it has growing plants:
whether it has pleasing and attrac.
tive pictures on the walls: whether
the spirit OF the schoo!room is kind
!y and intelligent. And if these
things are not right You can tind a
way of making them right.
Many Interesting things come
up for the woman in small town
to do. You can start a club which
may have for Its object any one of
u hundred important things. Tray
cling libraries may, by application
to the State educational depart
ment, sometimes be introduced in-
to your home town. You can iu-
troduce new kinds of plants, new
vegetables. You can instil better
methods of housekeeping. 10 pro-
vide relief for certain forms of af-
Fiction and to see that this relief
is used is most significant. 1t is !,
thing which Il woman can do.
If you are interested in the sound
OF this, why not try some one of
them: 1t may be the means of
bringing Il larger and much more
significant life to you.-Delineator
for February.
