TAFT MUST EFFECT
REFORMS OR I'LL
RUN AGAIN
WARNING IS LEFT BY FORMER
EXECUTIVE BEFORE HE SAILS
FOR AFRlcA-cANNoN is PUSH
ING TARIFF.
-Ex-PREsIDENr ROOSEVELT.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Ex-
President Roosevelt left behind a
warning word for President TAFT, says
Alfred Henry Lewis, in a dispatch TO
the New York American. A friend
who interviewed Mr.. Roosevelt before
the ex-president sailed for Africa call
ed the latters attention TO certain
signs and signal smokes which indi-
Gated that Mr.. Taft did not purpose
carrying out the so-called Roosevelt
policies.
Mr.. Roosevelt was reluctant to
talk. AT last, however, he broke out
suddenly:
MIR. Taft became president upon
the understanding that he would car
ny 10 success those policies. have
had every assurance that he'd SO so.
Should he fail. he will find candi-
date against him in 1912, and"-here
Mr.. Roosevelt tapped his shirt bosom
as identifying the mani will be the
candidate"
Mr.. Lewis continues:
Speaking OF appointments. il is set
tied that President Eliot. OF Harvard.
will go as ambassador TO St James
He is to give up his college work in
May, and will almost Immediately set
sail for England Mr. Taft has offer
ed him the place, and DR.. Eliot has
said he would be pleased TO accept.
The White House puts this shift
from Mr.. Reid TO Mr.. Eliot, from
riches to erudition. on the ground
that Mr.. Reid conducted his ambassa-
dorship with too much pomp and gilt
ter. There has been too much money
spent, too profuse display OF sold
braid and waving plumes for a repub-
lie. Mr.. Taft wants more simplicity
and less display. Wherefore Mr.. Reid
will be retired and DR.. Eliot take his
post.
This means good appointment. as
far as the emptiness of ambassador
ships permits them to mean anything.
Ii will at least possess two advantages.
Americans will have representative
In London who is not ashamed OF them
and of whom they are not ashamed.
When DR.. Eliot gets to England the
self-respect of the country will draw
a long, deep breath OF relief.
The prospect of long pull at tariff
has already so alarmed house pilots
that they begin TO talk of night SEES
sions. Also, Mr.. Cannon, fearing an
Senteefsm, threatens 10 dock mSfn-
bers for lost time II they don't stick
Loyalty to their house seats.
Mr.. Cannon complains that it is get
ting SO house quorum cannot be
kept in the chamber, and legislation
in its forward march is at the mercy
of any one who feels like making a
mo quorum" objection. This whole
sale desertion OF their house duties
by the members Mr.. Cannon regards
as little less than scandal.
II is easily explained, however. The
house rules don't leave the member
anything to do. The speaker is the
whole show. In brief. there isn't UNI
der the present ball-and-chain restric-
;tions any reason for member remain
ing In the chamber. with every reason
Tor his going somewhere else. No
man, not even a congressman, likes
the role OF stoughten bottle.

ADVISES CAUTION
IN LEGISLATION
RADICAL REFoRMER OFTEN A
MENACE, SPEAKER CAMPBELL
TELLS CREDIT MEN.

That the conservative public Official,
the man who is often called a reac-
tionary, is the truest patriot was the
keynote OF the address By Colin
Campbell, speaker OF the Michigan
house of representatives, before the
Detroit Credit Mems association, at
its dinner in the Pontchartrain Tues
day evening.
he pointed out that credit is the
handspring OF business and that dis
turbance OF credit invites commercial
disaster. This. he said. called for eau
ton in applying so-called reforms.
Failure to consider the state OF public
mind in making governmental action
has produced the two last great pan
les. in his view
"A bad tariff which is stable is bet
ter than a good one which is unsta-
BILE" he declared
The voice of the demagogue and
pseudo-relormer is loud, the speak
er said. and il is for the business men
to stand against public clamor and
uphold the hands of the conservative
public officials, who look 10 the effect
on the future OF proposed legislative
changes He decried the activity OF
the yellow press in knocking public
men and asserted his belief in the
need uf q firm stand 20 maintain pub
lie and private credit.
The policy Of uniform ad valOrem
taxation instituted By Pinsree came
under his disapproyal. and he gave il
as his opinion that, while the corpor-
ate interests OF the state had by their
supremacy selfish and shortsighted at
titude invited attack. the remedies
should be applied conseryatively.
When ruthless and greedy promoters
had overstocked and bonded enter
prises. antagonistic legislation which
forced down the price of these stocks
and bonds could only cause suffering
to the people, the ones who had be-
come purchasers. gfg
Measures tending 10 gradually elm
mate water from stocks were advo-
Gated even though the field OF spccu-
lation might be narrowed. He discuss.
ed certain legal problems affecting
the credit men and showed how vex-
ing is the task of the legislature IN
making changes in these laws.
