La Toilette and Taft.

Mr.. La Toilette is right. 1t is not in tn;
power of President Taft to read anybod,
out Of the republican party. Men in offict
who profess republicanism are responsible
to their constituents for their course and
votes. Reading out" to be effective
must be done at home.
But has President Taft tried, or indi
Gated desire, to read anybody out Of tn.
republican party? The Winona speech
bears no such construction. No insurgent
was blacklisted because Of his vote agains:
the Payne bill. At most the President ex
pressed regret that division in the party
had occurred on that measure. He
thought the insurgents could have com.
promised, as he did. There was enough
merit in the bill to justify his signature
and he attached it. So far he has not
gone beyond that.
Not only is it no easy matter to read
men out Of a party, but it is quite as diff
ficult to prevent the return Of men if the
spirit moves them after they have read
themselves out. Look at the Greeley
campaign. Many republicans Of promi.
hence who left their party in 1872 were
back again and working for Mr.. Hayes in
1875; and several Of them are in ONCE az
republicans today. That they were once
wanderers from the fold is not quoted
against them now.
Look at the campaigns since, and in
GLIDING, 1896. Professions of democrats
read themselves out of their party upon
the appearance of Mr.. Bryan as leader,
and remained out until 1904, when many,
fancying Judge Parker to be q man Of
their kind, returned. But, as they re-
turned, they met professions Of Bryanites
going out on account of the Parker candi-
dacy; and last year these same professions
again met, the Bryanites returning to the
support of their old chief, and the Parker
ties going out again because the old chief
had again taken charge.
Then there were men who, purely for
selfish reasons, would not leave the party
under Mr.. Bryan's leadership. but Sc
cretly prayed for party defeat, and Sc
cretly rejoiced when defeat came. They
were not in the slightest sympathy with
Mr.. Bryan on any issue he made promi.
nent. and did not consider him a demo-
crat.
We all remember Mr.. Bryan's lofty
tone Immediately after his first defeat.
Smarting under adversely. and with all
of young leaders audacity. he read
every democrat out Of the party who had
opposed him, and prescribed the conven-
tional sackcloth and ashes for such as
might desire to return to the fold. But
he recovered from that feeling. and since
then has been fraternizing on their own
terms with some of those who at the first
questioned his democracy and repudiated
his leadership. Mr.. Taft bears no tenn
peramental resemblance to Mr.. Bryan.

Duty.
From the Milwaukee Journal

Duty is an old-fashioned word. but il
is well to keep 1t in ones vocabulary
Some young people imagine that duty is
something desperate, dificult and un-
pleasant. Some think of it only as con.
nected with going to church and mis-
sionary work To some it means a ereat
sacrifice that man Is called on to make
on one or two great occasions In q life
time. To many 1t is word bearing No
pleasant impression. And many more do
thing for special occasions, nor does It re.
quire any great courage or sacrifice To
do ones duty is simply to do rieht. q
daily and hourly responsibility. 1t is ones
duty to be honest and kind: to be cheerful
and make happiness; to delight in every
good and beautiful thing ''The reward
Of one duty Is the power to fulfll an.

Painless Parting

Good bye. Summer! Goodbye. Good
bye!
1t is the usual thing to sigh
And touch the lutte in minor strain,
To guide a gentle song Of pain.
Goodbye to gnats! Farewell to things
OF unexpected bites and stings.
Farewell to dust upon the street;
Farewell to record-breaking heat;
Farewell unto the iceman bold.
With boarded wares like precious gold
Farewell to flowers, pink and blue,
That bloomed where poisonous ivies
grew;
song is due, let none deny.
Goodbye, Summer! Goodbye! Good
bye.
