TAFT IN WISCONSIN.

All the world loves a brave man.
There is something thrilling in the ad-
dress Of President Taft, delivered in
Wisconsin. If there be a state in which
it is necessary to talk plainly about the
new tariff law, Wisconsin certainly is
that state. There is the home of La
Follette-the man who has tried to be
bigger than the party that made him;
than the party which made his state,
and gave 1t every whit OF prosperity it
ever had. And he has so beguiled the
people there that they didn't believe
their borders who had signed the tariff
bill which LaFollette didn't approve.
The president tells them plainly it is
the best tariff law that the country ever
has had, and that is the fact. He
pointed out where It answered the de-
mands Of the people, where it made
lighter the burden Of the consumer, and
better the rewards Of the producer, He
stripped from the case all the fustian
with which LaFollette had surrounded
it. And he convinced the people they
had been deceived.
But the impelling thing is the courage
Of the president, and the value Of his
example. One finds It difficult to cavil
at the law when the conviction is forced
home that one has been mistaken as to
the effect of It. One finds it difficult
to excuse the assaults on the Republic
an party by a Republican. And one is
better than ever pleased with the presi-
dents expressed hope that the good
people Of the nation viii get a lower
tariff by work within the Republican
party.
There is the place to get lower tariff,
whenever a lower tariff should be had.
And that is the only place where reduc-
ton and reform Of existing systems can
| be expected.
II people would only study the cues
ton, instead of taking the prejudiced
word Of men like LaFOllette, the posi-
ton of that egotistical insurgent would
not receive Endorsement And the way
to whatever reform is needed would be
vastly easier.

REFORMING THE NATIONAL
GUARD.

That big war game" at which the
militia of the east, with attachments
from the regular army, recently played
for the capture Of Boston, has opened
the eyes of the people to the need Of
better methods in the handling OF the
national guard. It is found that the
present system costs a great deal Of
unnecessary money; that it imposes
hardship of body and Of purse on mem
bers Of the guard, and that it gives
them nothing at all compensating in the
way Of preparation for actual war
fare.
It is likely the national shoot at Camp
Perry this year did more for the army.
in every useful way, than that whole
t''war game" in New England. One Of
the things a soldier is required to do
and about the most important-is to
shoot straight. That is what a soldier
is for. when all is said and done.
The Workmanship Of the men who met
at Camp Perry improved about a thou
sand per cent over last years record.
in battle those men would be more ef-
fective than they were before. Drill is
fine, but it isn't the test Of an army's
effectiveness. Buffalo Bill had a com
pany Of zouaves with him last summer,
and they drilled with a precision that
seemed mechanical But it doesn't prove
they would be any better for that in a
fight. At the opening Of the Civil war
Colonel Ellsworth sent into the army
zouaves who could elactrify an audi
ence with their fantastic drin. But all
+hose fancy organizations were forgot
ten when the war proceeded. The kill
Ing Of men IS the actual thing, and
neither fine uniforms nor perfect align
ment accomplishes that
al the east is stirred Up with the rec
ord OF the war game" and even Of
ficers Of the national guard themselves
admit there has not been adequate COM
pensation for the money and effort in
vested. The guard viii be better when
It becomes more proficient in the things
that make for attack and defense. The
idea of the guard is all right. and its
association with the regulars IS one of
its saving gTaces. But militia men, be-
ing workingmen almost wholly. have
time only for the essentials. And it is
likely that a reform viii follow.

NOT A BASEBALL FAN.


The late Edward Everett Hale was
one of the most beloved men in America,
but evidently he was not much of a
baseball fan. One time in Washington
he was prevailed upon to attend "the
great American game" by an enthus-
iastic friend Of the diamond. After the
game he was introduced to the pitcher
Of the successful nine-the hero of the
day.
In the evening Of the same day DR..
Hale attended a social function. It so
happened that a young lady who had
caught sight Of the doctor talking to the
pitcher as she was returning home in
the afternoon sat next to DR.. Hale at
the dinner table. by the way" she
remarked, Il saw you today talking to
the hero Of the game"
What position did he play?" asked
one.
Pm not sure" said DR.. Hale, but
I think he was a batter"

Here is the law, after providing that
nifty voters, in a city, may nominate by

Such certificate shall also contain a
statement by the voter that the name or

The law was enacted to prevent a

TOM REED AND JERRY SIMPSON

(Kansas City JOurnaI)
Jerry Simpson and Speaker Tom Reed

What is the rush?" asked Reed.
There are thirty reasons why this

GROWTH OF THE NATIONS.

Since Utah came into the Union, the
United States has increased sixteen
millions in population; Germany has
grown ten millions and Great Britain
and Ireland about FIVE. France has adj

Of Americas increase comes from i'm

Since ninety-six, neither Of the ma

GOVERNOR JOHNSON is A SICK
MAN.

1t is to be regretted that Governor
Johnson of Minnesota is seriously I'll.
He is one of the men who make up the
splendor Of the American character. In
the presence Of his career there can be
no cavilling because Of partisanship, or
other consideration. He typifes the
manhood Of the nation. He demon
strates the possibilities in the American
boy. He proves that it pays to be
worthy.
Governor Johnson comes from a
family Of poverty. He has worked hard
for the very necessities Of life, and for
the support of a widowed and sorrow
stricken mother. He has been true to
his every trust, and the people who
know him best are his strongest sup
pOTters.
It will be a misfortune if he shall be
called away at this time, for men of
his kind, whatever their party, their
church or their race, are needed. They
are helpful in the United States of
America.

THE BOOSTER is ABROAD.

There was period in English his

nation was amazing; and the whole
population suffered-in estate. In health.
In political freedom, and IN happiness.
And then there was a period when "the

nationwide activity in a good direction.
came the infinitely richer condition. Be
cause they had tried generally to
achieve a certain result, the result was
achieved.
The one thing needed in Utah is the
development Of the resources possessed
IN the state. Above ali things else. the
necessity is for the reclamation OF the
land' and its employment in the produc-
ton Of foodstuffs. That way lies big
ger population, more wealth, more Cd
portunity, more happiness-and more
service to the world. because the world
has not enough Of wheat, and Of Nother
grains, and OF fruit.

That IS the work that must engage

untold areas OF land in Utah could be
brought under cultivation.
Such movements as that at Brigham

and to come. And every one who en-
cages in it with care and good judg-
ment, is going to make money.

WHY HE WAS IN LUCK.

1T is the American characteristic to
make the best of everything and to put
up smiling front in the face of fate's
hardest blows" said Prof. I. NJ. Ruther-
ford of the University Of California at
the Stafford.
Il have thought that in this regard
Americans were exceptional. Some of
the richest humOr in our literature is
founded on this trait. A few days ago,
as I came east on the Southern Pacific,
in passing through a fOrlOrn-lOoking
town in the desert I heard two men
water.
Goodbye, Bill said one, I am leav-
ing this burg with just one pair OF
pants and not another thing on earth.
You are lucky old pal" replied
Bill, that's more than anybody else
ever took away from here"
