An Interepting Test.


For the purpose of learning the
opinion Of the country on the first
nine months of the administration
of President Taft the Success Mag
azine has canvassed what it terms
its auxiliary editorial board OF life
subscribers, consisting of about
22,5O0 persons living in every sta ;e
of the Union. Ten questions were
pr0ponnded. The answers are not
all surprising to those who have
tried to keep it touch with the SEN
timenl of the people relative TO tar
iff Legislation. OF the 5.72S Re-
publicaus answering the question
whether or not the position of Aid
rich and Cannon in recent legisla-
ton are approved, the negatives
were so overwhelming in number
as to msks the sentiment of the
voters virtually unanimous. Only
500 in nearly 1000 Republication
endorsed Aldrich, and an even
smaller number endorsed "Uncle
Joe."
The result of about II 900 voters
cast in every slate in the Union,
by persons of more than average
intelligence, indicates widespread
popular dissatisfaction with the tar
if tinkering at the resent session.
Aldrich and Cannon stand for the
legislation Which was enacted and
the method by which vt was forceo
through, and the condemnation of
these lerde,s comes not only from
the opposiliou. but from IL out of
II persons in their own party. The
vote seems also to indicate displeas-
ure over President Taft's conces-
sions to the stand patters, bu at
the same time willingness TO trust
him to make further efforts to bring
about tariff reduction IN accordance
with pledges given IL the platform
upon which he was elected.
The vote taken in West Virginia

lieve that the result soows the senti-
ment of thinking people with q

proceeds" AS the government
recovered over two million dol
lars from the Sugar Trust, Mr..
PARIS claim to a million seems

with Parr for accepting the hon
