TAFT's WISDOM.

! The Minneapolis Journal has the fol-
lowing fair article regarding President
Taft's relationship to the factions with
in the republican party:
Without identifying himself with
| either regulars or insurgents, but stur-
| Oily maintaining his position as the
| leader of his party President Taft has
kept steadily to his path down the mid
/ die of the road. He has not allowed
| congress nor himself to forget that the
party has made certain pledges to the
| people that must be kept. From that
duty he has steadfastly refused to be
| diverted, and he has tactfully made IL
| evident to the leaders in congress that
| they must support him in passing the
measures promised by the republican
| platform.
| The senate. which usually dawdles
along with the house is perfecting
the appropriation bills, has, through
the smiling but pertinaCious efforts Of
the president, been reused to the re-
aliZatiOn that there is no necessity for
such waste of rime, and that 1t ought
to and must get busy on the adminis-
| tration measures. 1t Is now predicted
| that the senate will have several of
these bills ready for the house by the
time the house gets through with orig
| mating money bills.
The insurgents, who had visions of a
| long and scrappy session of the house,
in which, by combining occasionally
with the democrats they would make
| things uncomfortable for the organiza-
ton, have been brought by Mr.. Taft to
| hot hat E.rF, l.. b.
and to legislate in accordance with
party promises. The organization, on
| the other hand, is eager to do the
presidents bidding. even though some
| of it's leaders are fain to make wry
faces over some of the items in the
presidential menu. Speaker Cannon
has been told by his best friends, by
the men who have stood by him in
many battle and have defended him
Justify, that he must retire for the
good of the party. Even from New
England comes this advice, Representa-
tive Foster of Vermont voicing the
changing sentiment of a section that
was supposed to be as solid for the
Danville man as it's own hills.
The trend of events is thus setting
in strongly in the direction Mr. Taft
has steadily and sturdily urged. The
president will ultimately demonstrate
his worth and his power by effectuating
the legislation he has promised. Those
who have doubted him and worse will
have to revise their opinions. Daily
he looms larger in the public's conf
| dence and affection.
