clothes, so that this sort Of sartoria
question Is right in its line. However
1t has not seen fit to meet the issue a!
yet, but has settled the matter by
sidestepping it-that is, congress will
permit the statue to remain in place
but will not formally accept 1t.
Some ingenious student has discov
cred a similarity between the careers
and attitudes of John Quincy Adams
and William Howard Taft. Both the
son Of noted fathers and distinguish.
ed in their own rights, both averse to
making political appointments, both re-
fusing to play politics to further their
own fortunes and both, despite their
excellent qualities, failing to stir the
hearts Of the multitude, the parallel
does not seem entirely fanciful. Will
the likeness be carried out to the end
Of their careers? Even the weather
prophets would hardly dare to offer
a forecast. Besides, it is too early in
the Taft administration to size it up.
The librarian Of congress has handed
over another momentous decision, this
having not to do with the north pole or
the fearful and wonderful m]eteorology
of the 4th Of March, but the more
aesthetic subject Of music. In a word
he has settled once and for all what is
the most popular national song. 1t
is not yankee Doodle" 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner" America" or even
1.-THE Girl I Left Behind Me-" which
gained such vogue in our late war with
fever, embalmed beef and Spaniards.
The first of American songs in "patri.
otto popularity" so says the oracle OF
the Congressional library, is "Dixie."
Hereafter the yells which rise to greet
that blood stirring air may be given
with renewed fervor, having the sup.
port of official sanction.
1t Is probable that President Taft
will come near the Roosevelt record
in the matter of special messages,
though to do 80 he would have to send
them in every other day. Outside of
his railroad message there will doubt
less be n on the Philippines, one on
conservation, one on the District Of
Columbia In all probability and one on
Alaska. How many mor will be
forthcoming nc prophet would have
the temerity to predict, especially in
view of the prodigious output Of for
days. Mr.. Taft's Alaskan commu-
nication is to deal with a comprehen-
sive scheme Of government which he
Is working out. Now that Stewards /
iceberg has been found to be a land
flowing with milk and honey, likewise
with coal, gold, enterprise and pros
poets, 1t Is clearly entitled to all the

The reaSsembling Of congress after |
holidays was marked by no wild

Of the session the excuse was that the
president had not outlined his chief poll

there was nothing to do but to wait
