the platform pledges largely have been
fulfilled md harmony has sbscn rc-
stored between the executive and con-
grcss.
II 10 noteworthy, too, that the most
important legislation Of the session
forms a part Of the much-cxploited
Roosevelt policies." This legislation
was repeatedly urged by President
Roosevelt. but congress turned a deaf
ear. Yet the lawmakers allowed them
selves to fall prey 10 the persuasive
smile and touching entreaty Of Presi-
dent Taft, and passed for him the very
bills that had been denied his prede-
cessor. All Of which demonstrates the
wisdom Of remark made by President
Roosevelt when he declined TO accept
another nomination. He then said
that some other man. In sympathy
with his views. could accomplish more
with congress than he himself.
The legislative record Of tho recent
session. Ia ample answer TO those who
charge that Taft Ii disloyal to the
Roosevelt policies.

pliance with the recommendation OF
the president the interstate commerce
bill. creating court Of commerce and
enlarging the powers of the interstate
commerce commission, takes first rank.
II was the foremost feature Of the
Taft programme, and the one on which
he spent most time and effort; collab-
Grating as he did with his attorney
general, and with the leading lawyers
Of congress TO get most effective law
possible to devise. Many Of the chang
es made by this law were advocated
by President Roosevelt, but congress
put aside his recommendations and
waited for his successor to renew
them.
Next in Importance. undoubtedly.
stands the postal savings bank law.
This, also. was on the Roosevelt pro-
gram. but never during the former ad-
would congress pass this
bill, though all manner Of pressure was
brought TO bear by the executive.
