TAFT AS A RIDDLE.

AFT keeps the multitude guessing. They
don't know exactly how to size him up.
Wall Street is fearful. 1t hopes for the best but
it doesn't know about it. In the New England
States the President patted Senator Aldrich on
the back. A great man is Aldrich The Pres-
dent might be accused Of thinking that the
Rhode Island Senator ought to be a popular
even though the hats are not tossed in the
air when the Senator's name is mentioned.
In the "insurgent country" Taft apparently
stood by the regulars. AT any rate, the insur-
gents got cold comfort from him. LaFollette
threw his sharpest arrows at the President. In
the far West the President seems 10 have pleas
ed the people. He talked about irrigation,
natural resources and other things in which the
people there are interested and ne played the
Roosevelt tune for while. lie seems to have
made out pretty we'll.
Taft also ur rAlded some OF his plans for legis-
latiCn. He.3wants the Iater-State Commerce
- MISSION changed, ana the entire system OF
railroad regulation is to be altered if he has his
way. This attitude of the President, does not
like IT, They fear that Taft may attempt to run
amuck as they say Roosevelt did
But they should take comfort. They should
not be disturbed so easily. Uncle Joe Cannon
is still con the job" with good percentage OF
his party behind him and a large proportion Of
the Democrats ready to come to him when ne
whistles.
Withal there is lingering suspicion that Taft
is likely to accomplish more than Roosevelt did
Roosevelt had wind and wind was necessary to
stir up public sentiment, but Taft has a way
Of getting things done and not merely talking
about them. To be sure he didn't secure every
thing he tried fer at the last session of Congress.
but he got some things then and he is likely to
extract more from the next session.

BAILEY AND BRYAN.

HERE is a disturbance in Texas. Colonel
Bryan has been going through the Lone
Star State condemning Senator Bailey for his
attitude during the tariff debate in Congress-
The Nebraska leader has vehemently espoused
the cause of free raw materials, doctrine that
was embodied in the Democratic platform as
adopted at Denver During the debate in the
Senate Mr.. Bailey, when it suited his fancy,
threw away the Denver platform. He opposed
the doctrine of free raw materials when his own
State was affected
Bryan, it seems, has made it so hot for Bailey
in Texas that the Senator has challenged the
three times Presidential candidate to a Joint dc
bate and unless Bryan has changed in his love
for talk he will accept the challenge. Then there
will be high old times in the South, and the spec
tacle OF Democrats disagreeing which is often
witnessed, will be repeated The Bryan
Bailey roy illustrates how hopelessly divided
are the Democrats. In the present instance Bry-
rests on the Democratic PLATFORM IF
the Democrats do not stand for free raw ma
terials, they surely have no position worth speak
ing of on the tariff question.
In criticism of Bryan il has been stated that
oi recent years he has touched but lightly on
the tariff question. 1t is true that he has not
made ne tariff the paramount ISSUE but his is a
consistent record IN favor OF low tariff
he remarkable thing about Bailev's position
IS that It shows Sentiment in Southern States
has changed with regard to the tariff. Who
would have thought wears AGO in the davs OF
kc ger O. Mills. of Mills Bill fame that Texas
would have Senator who would be WILLING N
debate with the leader OF his party the question
OF free raw materialsl And yet here is Bailey
who was the leader of his party i'm the State ii,r
ing the tariff controversy. and who clearly rep-
resents the sentiments of large number of
Southern Democrats. hurting defiance at a doc
trine that the Democrats have held to for many
years.

American Trsit UndeveIoped.

San Francisco Chronicle.
It Is too early to form conclusions
about American traits. The United
States Is not the only country that
has shown asslmilative powers. Eng
land, on a lesser scale, has engaged
n the work with signal success. Az
times she has absorbed relatively large
numbers of foreigners and completely
Anglicized them, but at present her
native-born population is so much
greater than her foreign that the lat
ter is Insignificant In comparison.
IL s possible. therefore. to speak of
British traits with some degree OF
property. But 10 attempt TO describe
the merits or the shortcomings of the
people OF the United States as Ameri-
can traits is foolish. We shall not
know what the real traits of Ameri-
cans are until the shaklng-down pro-
cess Is completed.

The Central Bank Idea.

Philadelphia Press.
The general public has given little
attention TO the pleas of economists
and bankers for the creation Of a
great central government bank. The
question will, however, come up this
time under new auspices.

mission, after careful examination
makes the central bank the leading

sive President gives it the prestige
Of his indorsement and support. The
most successful and powerful of the

to break the practice of lifetime and

of q central bank.
There are great possibilities in the
central bank idea thus presented and
supported, and II is not unlikely to

EXPRESS COMPANY IN MEXICO.

M EXICO is advancing along the lines Of
State Socialism 1t is adapting its rail-
road policy to the express BUSINESS as it has
entered into a contract with the Wells-Faroo
Express Company of the United States Just as
IT made an agreement with the owners Of
the principal railroad companies Of the country
some years ago.
An express company has been organized with
capital stock Of million divided into two
classes of stock. One class will be held by the
Wells-Fargo Company and the other class will
be controlled by the Mexican government The
new company intends to take over the existing
contracts of the Wells-Fargo Company with the
government controlled railroads and to conduct
an express service in league with the govern
ment The stock of the government costs prac-
tically nothing, it being given in return for the
franchise.
This plan OF the Mexican government in deal
ing with the railroads and the express service
has won high approval from a noted British
railway authority, who thinks that the Mexican
government is showing the world how to do it
while the United States is showing the world
how not to do it. A plan such as that followed
in Mexico would be denounced in this country
where all suggestions of State Socialism are
secuted at and repudiated by those now in con-
troll Of the political destiny Of the nation.
