The action of President Taft IN sign

rich bill vii. tell its own story
With two yoices sounding In hi
ears, one that OF the trusts demand
ing that he sign. and the other that o
the people, asking for the use Of hi'
veto. the president finds himself in {
position where his action will give th.
people of the country direct line a
to who is really in the saddle in thi
country
No doubt the president would like to
veto the bill, realizing as he must tha'
the promises he made to the people
such as revision on a basis of equal.
ization of cost OF production here ant
abroad, are not being kept Like an.
average man IN public life, he would
prefer to please instead Of disappoint
che great mass Of Americans who pre-
fer honest revision to revision upward
But as has been pointed out before
the president is not in position wher,
he can use wide. unbounded discretion
as to whether he viii sign or refuse tt
sign. President Taft finds himself
under obligations to the tariff trusts
every one Of which win suffer through
revision downward. Mr.. Taft mad
his campaign on frids largely supplied
by the benefciarles Of high protection
and these big industrial concerns ma
turally expect that he win not turn
around and act against their interests
President Taft could win a name foi
himself in history by double crossing
the corporations that place greed above
patriotism. The whole nation woulC
applaud such a course. the whole

Every day Is a fresh beginning;
Listen my soul. to the glad refrain.
And, spite of old sorrow, and older
SHINING,
And puzzles forecasted and possible
pain,
Take heart with the day, and begin
again.
As each day of the institute came
and was over, ! was glad In my heart
that every day and every week was
a fresh beginning. Personally re-
ceived from our five days institute
helps in many ways. First, the study
course has been especially helpful
ms a storehouse of knowledge, CLEAN
ed by n teacher from many fields
These facts and sometimes theories
were discussed In the institute until
they were rendered practical and
adapted to our own use
Again, the discussion OF our own
problems were of great help, since
hero problems were presented, which
myself had encountered and, as
new and various methods FOR their
solution were suggested, | felt my
self more ably prepared to cope
with them,
Then, the subjects assigned to the
teachers for individual preparation
proved of value to me IN two ways;
First. cducatlonally We were given
new methods for instruction In var
ious subjects, We were told how TO
make the schoolroom place of de-
light and We were given methods OF
classroom management, Second, In
Il literary way, Papers were read by
the teachers OF real literary value
and we were put upon a higher plane
of thinking and our minds We're
broadened.
And again, source OF help and
strength was our association with
each other, AS heard these papers,
talks, and discussions, felt as II 1
