President Taits Pacific coast tour

ciiiC, and qualification. do you get
that \ member Of the Taft admins.
tration who was as close 10 Roosevelt
as man could be. said that President
Taits trip to the Pacific and return
was going to be a trip Of pacifcation
and many Of the troubles that bcsot
the administration would be smouthcd
out. 1T seems to me- remarked "A
Washington man. who Is close OBJ
server Of political events, that Taft
is scratching up a great many snakes"
Which reminds one OF Steve Elkins'
famous advice, DO not scratch IN
more snakes than you can kill" This
Washington politician instanced the
Endorsement Of Aldrich. the indorsc.
ment Ballingcr, the Endorsement of the
central bank, the Endorsement of the
postal savings banks right in the teeth
OF the bankers convention, the in
dorscmcnt of the tariff law In the
states of the leading Republican op.
ponents of that law. and his speaking
in the Mormon tabernacle at Salt
Lake City, Altogether he was of the
opinion that the president should be
more liberal in the use of his oil can
and not quite so pronounced in his
utterances and actions He needs
man like Loeb with him all the time"
was the conclusion of the veteran
Washington observer. II is the gen.
eral impression that Loeb saved Roose
welt on many occasions, but then II
is well to remember that Roosevelt
was a mighty shrewd politician and
was on the Job q honrG OF each day.

HISTORY SHOWS THE TRUTH
Republican SpeIlbinders Can No
Longer Credit Prosperity to
the High Tariff.

President Taft had n good deal 10
say In his speech.makng tour of the
bounding prosperity OF the west.
Rightly so. Not only do government
records show stupcndous advances in
western agricultural wealth, but Mr.
Fart, being 0bseryant could sec plenty
Of evidences at first hand. He would
be obtuse indeed If he failed to note
signs Of confident prosperity all
through the west
Ihere was Il time when Republican
spellbIndors attributed increasing
prosperity to the high tariff. But not
now. Records Of national tariff history
are all against them
For instance. the 1907 panic came
along when Americans were cniOviup
he highest tariff over known up to-
mat time. This was quite n setback
Tor the Republican orators who had
been preaching that panics always re-
suited from low tariffs.
\ recent economic writer points out
nat In general terms. all the CONNER.
sial panlcs since the war period have
resulted from high tariff rather than
low tarih. This was certainly so i'm
1878, and also in lS93-the latter com.
ing during the operation of the Nc.
hlnley tariff, about a year and half
before the Wilson law took effect
The panic argument as a buttress
Tor high tariff, has done its full duty
and has gone into the discard. We
even IND supporters of the Aldrlch.
Tart bin admitting that the nation can
be prosperous from natural causes.
and that the tarifr only helps
The vests prosperity is in spite of
high tariff, such as the Aldrich.Taft
bill levies.
