A NEW PRESIDENT.

Americans are proverbial il
wishing to shape the policies Of
their rulers just to suit their
ideas of how the government;
should be conducted. When this
meets the eyes of the readers oil
the Sentinel, Mr. Taft will have
been inaugurated President of the
United States. Just what his
policies will be seems to be un-
certain quantities. All kinds of
sumises and coniectures are
INDUCED in. with the wish keeping
pace with the hope of a different
regime from what has character
lied Roosevelt. He has made a
strenuous ruler, marked by large
modicum of MISREPRESENTATION.
ard along lines that had a
Democratic trend.
Much is hoped from. the. in
cumbency of Mr.. Taft. but it is
difficult to outline the course of
the chief magistrate where there
are so many conflicting interests
demanding recognition. The
general tire i of American
legislation is strongly toward
consolidation, and it is a dungeons
tendency that invades the clearly
defined limits of the Constitution.
Much is hoped for toward that
of interests that will
confer the greatest happiness and
prosperity of the whole people,
and not one section of the country
to the detriment of the other.
Let Mr.. Taft's counsels and wise
forethought guide the ship of
State away from the shoals and
breakers and keep It in deep and
safe water.
