Taft's Blunders.

The president has identified himself
unnecessarily and Inconsistency with
a tariff law which is intensely unpopu-
lar. He has gone out, OF his way to
praise the men who made this law.
A moderate protectionist before his
election. he has become the principal
champion OF extreme protectionism
The men and the measure are alike
hateful. He Is now their chief apollo
gist.
Great and well deserved as was the
popular regard for Mr.. Taft, II could
not stand such a shock as this. Most
Americans believe that the new tariff
act was deliberate betrayal OF their
interests and well-calculated viola
ton OF party pledges. They acquitted
Mr.. Taft OF blame In the beginning
but ne has convicted himself out oil
his own mouth. His defense Of the
work OF Payne, Aldrich and Cannon
has awakened suspicion even OF him
while II has not helped them in the
least
One vital mistake on his part has
led TO others The rocks on which his
administrative ship is now pounding

more OF party than he has OF himself

His Honor's Little Joke.

A good many public characters seem
10 be having a sight of trouble these
days. II would be hard TO say which
of them Is having the most OF IT,.
Uncle Joe has for the moment the CEN
ter OF the stage. and the slow music
would seem TO be mainly for his bene-
fit But there are also the president
and Secretary Ballinger and Senator
Root and leader Aids and some
others. II Is easier 10 name the states
man who Is having the most fun; it's
his honor. the mayor of this town.
They do say that when he goes out
for one of those walks he Is making
so popular, he has to stop frequently
and lean up against lamp-posts and
think and laugh. For he has got the
laugh on more kinds OF people than
one. There is the kind that voted for
him because they thought he wouldn't
be good and also the kind that voted
against him for the same reason. The
first kind. we take II, is Mr.. Murphy's
kind and Mr.. Cohalan's. and the other
Tammany gentlemen's who wanted a
mayor OF the old-fashioned Tammany
sort So long as his honor keeps the
laugh on them. we are content 10 let
him have IL on us, too, since we are
OF the other kind whose disappoint'
ment Is delightful That his honor
has the laugh on us up 10 date we
cheerfully. eagerly proclaim. For up
to date his honor has undoubtedly
been good-good. that is to say, for
the taxpayers and honest people gen.
orally. and bad for the grafters and
the holders OF sinecures: bad for Tam
many. We have never before so thor
oughly enjoyed little joke on our
selves. Even our seriousminded
neighbor, the Evening Post. is taking
Il well: is, in fact, growing almost
cheerful over the way IL has been
hoaxed. We extend our approval to
his honors friends and mentors. Up
to date. Epictetus also Ia all TO the
good We further promise that II his
honor keeps on fooling us the way he

The fact that the father OF Gerald
