Some dissatisfied person has written
complaining of the number of Mexican

struct an instrument in accordance

PRESIDENT TAFT'S GREAT
SPEECH,

The speech made by President Taft
to the republican clubs of New York
last Saturday is recognized all over
the country among republicans as the
great unifying speech of the campaign.
President Taft stands for everything
that is pure and honorable in politics
and that will increase the efficiency
of all public servants. He doesn't
believe in the political pork barrel, or
the political middleman.
Among other excellent things he
said:
1T was impossible to arouse the
people to a just indignation at cor
rupt corporate control through a ma
chine and boss rule, without having
such movement acquire an impetus
that carries it to extreme views, and
the electorate is now searching for a
reform procedure under which bosses
cannot live, machines can never con-
troll and corruption can never exert
influence. Hence, we have move
ments to eliminate the middleman in
politics and to give popular sentiment
a more immediate effect in govern
ment than perhaps would have been
thought wise by our fathers. The ex-
istence of this popular impulse ought
to rejoice every patriot with the hope
that it will be turned to a useful and
permanent betterment of our politics.
But, however effective these suggest
ed changes may prove at first, l ven
ture to say that no great permanent
good can come from them alone UNI
less they are accompanied by a change
in the individual voters and his awak-
ening to necessity for constant watch
fulness and effort on his part to pre-
vent the old evils from appearing in d
new guise."
1t is up to the voter to do his part
This is all the president expects of
him.
The following estimate of Taft is
not exaggerated, but is worthy the en-
dorsement of every true republican:
What Tafts administration has ac-
complished in eighteen months has no
parallel in previous presidential his
tory. In spite of the bitter attacks
on the president, he shows no rancor
in his speech, feels no bitterness, feels
confident of the future and certain Of
continued prosperity. II is our opin-
ion that Taft's place in history is alb
solutely secure. He is one of the big
sest men the country has yet pro-
duced."

POLITICAL SCANDAL.

The stand Congressman Higgins of
this district takes upon alleged cor
rupt practices in the Second district
and elsewhere is the stand that all
true republicans are taking today.
While much of the talk of the use
OF money is for the purpose of de-
feating opponents rather than for the
purposes ,of purifying politics, and
uttered for selfish purposes regard
less Of truth, it is more than likely
that money is at times used and is
freely talked about by those who sell
or are sold and those who witness
the transactions or have a knowledge
of the truth Of the allegations because
of having been approached them
selves. 1t is time that all this talk
was made dangerous to those who talk
and those who keep silent about it;
and it is the disposition of the voters
this year to make it so.
Congressman Higgins will find en-
dorsers of his sentiments in both par
ties and the applause he will receive
viii come from all parties, for it is a
stand above partisanship-a stand for
better and more honorable methods.
He is everlastingly right when he de-
clares that

GUARDING AGAINST THE UNDER.
TOW.

1t does not make any difference
whether nti-Cannonism is an tissue
or "a bugbear so long as it exists in
all parts of the country, presenting q
sentiment of such volume and strength
that men seeking reelection in states
like Massa chusetts are forced to reck-
on with it. 1t is rather surprising
to read in the Boston Transcript the
following about the anti-Cannon SEN
timent and its impressiveness in the
old Bay state;
THE reputation in two successive
days of Speaker Cannon by Represen-
tatives Lawrence and Gillett, senior
members of the Massachusetts dele
cation, is symptomatic of the times
Their constituents had not requested
them to do this, nor did their conven-
tons adopt any resolution to that eff
feet. But in other ways these con-
gressmen fave been made familiar
with the prevailing sentiment of the
district. 1t is useless to consider Mr.
Cannon a further issue in the cam
paign, and he is making a great mis-
take to hesitate longer over his for
NAL withdrawal from the speakership
contest. Other members of the Mas
sachusetts delegation would be wise to
follow the example of Gillett and Law
renee and so leave no doubt in the
minds of constituents as to the COM
plete elimination of the Cannon issue"
The signs that the republican party
everywhere has had enough Of Speak
er Cannon and will have no more of
him are plain enough, and the giving
of assurance to the people that Can
nonism is dead is a means of improv-
ing the prospects of candidates who
are experienced in public life and have
always had the confidence of their
constituents There is an undertow to
public sentiment this fall which re-
quires that no man shall venture with
out life line. Messrs. Lawrence and
Gillett have determined that the I'M
dertow shall not take them off their
feet.
