HOW TAFT HANDLED THE SIT
UATION.

THAT President Taft honestly de-
sired a real reduction Of the Dingley
tariff has been made by him clearly
evident, but that the measure of re-
duction which he did secure from the
conferees satisfies him, or any other
honest advocate Of a real reduction,
Is a proposition beyond the support
of reason. And that the result is not
now In accordance with what he
would have preferred IL to be, is
largely the presidents own fault 1t
is clear that he made the mistake of
holding aloof too long; that he walt
ed until after the horse was stolen
before locking the stable door"
Thus speaks the Courier-Journal,
swallowing everything it said about
former President Roosevelt without
so much as a CONFUSION OF the cpl
CLOTHS or the watering of the eye.
IL there was one thing the Courier
Journal disliked about former Presi-
dent Roosevelt. IL was his interfer-
ence with the other two coordinate
branches of government. II there
was one thing satisfactory to the
Courier-Journal in Taft's election II
was the prospect of an executive, who
by training and instinct is a stickler
for order.
The only criticism now offered
President Taft is that ne did not take
a hand in the tariff fight In congress,
before IL got up to him. We call the
Courier-Journal's attention to the fact
that President Taft did not volun-
tarily NEEDLE in the conference until
the two chairmen called on him and
invited him TO speak. II is true that
in his own speech at the Yale cele-
bration, and in Secretary MacVeagh's
speech at Chicago some very striking
and characteristic suggestions We're
made as to what the titular head of
the dominant political party should
do in case a coordinate branch of the
government in control of the same
party failed to keep the faith; but in
that President Taft was we'll within
his own province.
The Courier-Journal originally was
rather more right than wrong. The
position in which Senators Aldrich
and Speaker Cannon and their crowd
are placed before the whole people
and their constituency is really of
vastly more importance to the coun-
try. than would be a tariff even more

THE PUBLIC FORUM.
"Thou Shalt Not Kill"

The sacredness of humaI life Is
one of those primal truths witch
seem TO have been coeyal with the
beginning. of mans existence ani 10
have gone on thus firmly established
and beyond the line OF argument or
challenge ever since. At least, the
first to call the matter into question
or rather, to attempt to do so, was
Cain. II was not either, that even
he believed in his own defense of not
being his brothers keeper, but OF "a
poor excuse" which he learned, as
he went forth, a vagabond. with the
mark of the murderer on him, to be.
not only radically wrong, but like
wise worse than none" At any
rate, We may presume that no one
would willingly place himself in the
class OF Cain, even II DESTROYS Of
standing for such a very dubious
cause. And thus, long before the
principle. in several forms. became
Incorporated into bodies of law, IL
was craven on the human heart, as
were the ten commandments before
their PRONUNCIATION on Mount Sainai.
The guarding of this precious gift
from God becomes. then, a duty with
regard to ourselves and others. II Is
something which owes its origin to
the Creator, arises beyond our powers
In any way, and over which we have
no rights of disposition, carrying
with II, as II does, each one, its indi-
vidual accountability to its Maker.
Like many other subjects, this APP
pears to have become clearer, taken
on more definite lines out of a con-
dition which was in the beginning
more or less vague and obscure. II
has grown with time, and as the ages
have gone on, men have learned the
lesson better. The doctrine is the
same throughout, but In the new
lights that have been sned upon II,
new phases have appeared-the jewel
Is the same, but the different facets
which the process Of shaping and
polishing has evolved have vastly
hghtened its value
Now whilst aware of this unassail-
able position In ancient times among
Gods chosen people, It is remark
able, II not actually strange. to be
able to introduce an example that
both illustrates the fundamental
truth, and serves at the same time to
show the haziness of its correct per-
ception. We have II, however, among
the worshipers of Moloch who pro-
vide what they considered the pre-
ciousness of human life since they
knew Of nothing higher with which
to propitiate their divinity. and like
wise showed that they really under

right and lawful power TO immediate,

satisfactory than the one now on
passage. Had President Taft begun
an undignihed wrangle with congress
earlier. such papers as the Courier
Journal would have been fighting
him. As II is, all the press of the
country, Democratic and Republican,
aligned itself on the side of the ex-
ecutive in the final struggle, and the
executive comes through with dignity
a more secure hold on
the confidence Of the people and a
more powerful grip on the dominant
party. Moreover, II he had inter
fered earlier and won his point, the
situation would have been so OBJ
scured that the people could not tell,
who were for them and who against.
As II is Aldrich and Cannon and their
associates have been allowed to go
the full length of their inclination
against the pledge of the Republican
party, their perfidy stands out clear
and distinct, and their responsibility
is not lessened by the fact that they
did not accomplish all they desired.
President Taft did well in permit
ting the legislative department to as
sumo its due responsibility. It teaches
congressman that they cannot follow
their party organization blindly and
come out unscathed; but each man
stands on his own record before the
people.
We know and the Courier-Journal
knows that President Taft handled
the situation masterfully. We say
the Courier-Journal knows, because

II is due to passenger conductors
of the Illinois Central who are among
the best citizens of this and any other
city in which they may reside, TO say
that the experiment Of placing audi
tors on the trains TO collect fares, is
no reflection on the honesty of the
conductors. who have attended TO
that tedious work in addition to their
other duties and the care of the train
which is in their charge from the
time they leave the terminal, as
much as a ship is under the care of a
captain when 1t leaves port. The
conductors themselves desired to be
relieved of the work, and are hope
full that the experiment being tried
on the Louisville division will be sat
isfaetory to the company as well as
TO the employees.
