New York Organ Lauds the
Success of the First Three
Months Of the Cincinnati
Mans Reign.
REVISION OF TARIFF
NO HURT TO BUSINESS
It Is Stated to the American
People That an Era of Good
Feeling Has Finally Come
To Pass.

New York, June THE Herald this
morning published the following dis
patch from Washington:
Three months of Mr.. Taft in the
White House. ..
What is the state Of the country?
Here in Washington, where the
course that Mr.. Taft is pursuing is be-
ing constantly viewed with reference
to its relation to domestic business
conditions, the impression Is strong
that a modern worker of magic has
been busy to bring about business
boom during the revision of the tariff,
undertaking low level depression fol-
lowing a panic. Administrations are
held responsible for panics. Why
should they not be given credit for
prosperity. That is the argument.
Tumult Transferred.
.Tumult has been transferred from
the White House to the senate. When
men are called liars 1t happens now
under the dome Of the capitol. Mr..
Taft has been in the office "a days.
There have been but three messages to
congress making recommendations.
One, Of $40 words, related to the tar
3ff. Another related to the failure of
self-government in Porto Rico. An
other related to the success of self-gov
eminent in Cuba.
There have been no prosecutions
instituted against corporations with
brass band, but that doesn't mean that
no prosecutions will be begun later
with dignity and sobriety. There
have been no alterations with nature
takers, rifle manufacturers or photog-
raphers. There has been but one in
spired statement as to what the pres
ident wanted congress to do, and the
Nebraskan who put 1t forth was placed
under the lid and the lid was satupon.
Lote Of Thi ,gs Not Done.
ooh, lots of things have not been
done since March 4. The patriot who
wanted commissions for this, that and
the other. in opposition to congress.
has gone home to wait for better and
brighter times The muckraker has
departed to roost at the health resort
and the breakfast food factory. The
1dealist. who desired congressional
laws overridden. has turned his atten-
ton to architecture and landscape gar
dening. The cabinet minister who
would spend $1.OOO,OOO on a govern
ment building without complying with
clipped.
.tComparisons are odious. 1t will
be more to the point to show what Mr.
Taft has initiated and how he has done

sWhat are the signs and finger
tboards he placed along his course dur
ing the three months?
Are Convinced Now.
well, for one thing. Senator Hale.
and Representative Tawney. chairman
OF the house committee on appropria-
lions, are quite convinced that the
government of the United States Is
now law abiding concern. The gov
ernment itself is setting an example.
