CURRENT COMMENT.

The Galveston News says: mir.
Taft announced In a speech at Gin
cinnau that the Panama canal will
be built upon the present plans and
completed eXpeditiously, whether the
critics and opponents OF the plans and
the enterprise like them OF not. Il
H. comforting to feel that the new
President Is neither afraid Of responsi.
bility nor avcrse TO gs.purposing
the powerful interests which stand
ready TO ruin the canal or defeat It's
completion"
The Chicago Record-Herald says:
An effort Is being made in New Mex
leo to have bachelors taxed SO and
widowers $25 a year. The promoter
OF the scheme probably Is working on
the theory that widowers. having had
actual experience Of the benefits OF
matrimony. should be more severely
punished than the ignorant bachelors
for wishing to cling to single blessed
ness. The wife of the father of this
plan-we take II for granted that he
is married-may regard herself as the
recipient Of the finest compliment that
has ever been paid to woman"
The Philadelphia Record says: Per
haps courtesy requires Mr.. Taft TO
continue handing rather high-colored
bouquets to the President as he did
in his address at the University of
Pennsylvania yesterday. but IL might
be suggested 10 him that some re-
straint in his direction would not be
unacceptable. Mr.. Roosevelt Is a good
man. but the country needs rest and
is looking forward hopefully to the
change which will occur nine days
hence. Those public ills with the de-
nunciatiOn of which the President has
made the welkin ring were discover
ed more than seven years ago, and
many OF them were subjects Of oppOsi-
ton and even Of legislation before the
era Of the present administration"
The Pittsburg Post (Dem.) says:
AS long as the roaring political farce
called protection is played with labor
as the ingenue and the foreign manu- |
facturer as the heavy villain. and his |
American rival as the hero, Congress
will continue TO revise the tariff the |
same way a gObetween Of grafters |
money purely on grounds |
OF expediency Those industrial forces
which can do most politically for the |
party and the persons doing the revis- |
ing will get the most protection. The |
logic OF economies I'm the situation |
has nothing TO do with the case. Pro
lection exists now on false pretense. |
II lacks every argument but this:
That its vOtaries are in control of the |
Republican party, and this is in con-
troll Of the country, and willing to deal
with protection to hold on"
