TAFT's GOOD WORK.

When the new tariff bill has
been passed and signed and is law
the people whom it will benefit
will owe their thanks to William
Howard Taft's ridigity Of purpose.
The president is not obtrusive in
his determinations--but when he
believes himself right he will insist
upon having his way at any sac
rifice.
Nothing less than his intimation
Of veto upon the bill-as the
Aldrich following appeared deter
mined to frame it-would have
prevailed over the stubborn atti-
tude of the Rhode Island senator
whose theory that if the inter-
-ests desire protection for profit
the public may be damned has lent
his unsavory order outside of New
England.
The president has loyalty earned
the approval and thanks of his
constituents-who are not stock
holders in protected industries
and they are many millions.

ALL FIGURED OUT

The Advance man has it all fig
ured out. We knew he would ar
rive at something sooner or later.
He has figured what our circulation
really is and now remains silent on
that score. But he has also figured
out something new. In his sane
tum, in the wee small hours of the
morning, lying on his belly, with
pencil, ruler and IL pages of the
Chronicle spread before him, he
figured out the exact number of
square inches which the Chronicle
contains. That's going some.
Here's what he said last week:

not correct.-Beach Advance.
The "Ripsaw" appears to be
cutting some all the time. In
answer to paragraphs which
occupied three inches of space,
the Chronicle devoted over a
column and a half of it's
space. Well, this is about the
relative value of space in the
two papers anyway. Beach
