The Company is willing to maintain the
posts, including lamp renewals globe shade re-

have the work turned over to local contractor.
This matter is now pending before the Mayor

action will be taken SO that the cost of service
paid for by the merchants may be reduced

The following from the Mobile Reg

~ Fishsrmen's oopredations.

Monday morning, Judge o. J. Semmes
sof the city court made the prediction
that unless depredations on fish In
various streams Of Mobile county are
stopped within ten years there will

Taft's Failure Means the Birth Of a

present time:
With insurgency fast building it.
self into control of the Republican
party, and with Democracy in good
prospect of carrying the next House OF
Representatives the administration of
William Howard Taft confronts a
crisis.
Two years ago Mr. Taft became
leader Of party which held almost a
monopoly of public confidence. Today
he is leader merely of a discredited
faction. Control of the party is fast
passing out of the hand of this &C
ton and into the hands of men whom
Mr.. Tafts administration was but
recently reading out of the party.
The record of the Taft administra-
ton is pathetic story Of failures in
both politics and craftsmanship. Mr..
Taft has seemed incapable of steer
ing his politics in the course of wis
dom and unwilling to support the pro-
gresslve measures which the country
expected from him. Congenial inca
pacity for practical politics might ex-
plain the failure to keep his party in
hand; but only a more rnkindly ex.
PLANTATION can account for his appar-
ent purpose to repudiate the men and
policies to which his platform pledg-
ed him.
AS a result of Mr.. Taft's failure,
there rs struggle for control of the
Republican party At the same time,
the torn and divided party faces a
Democratic opposition which needs
hardly TO more than permit itself to
become the beneficiary Of Republican
mlsfortunes. 1t seems scarcely pos
siole that even Democracy's facility
Tor doing the wrong thing can pre-
vail against the fates which seem de-
termined to- recall it to 4 responsible
participation in the national govern
ment. A Democratic victory, how
ever, will be no testimonial of conf
dence in Democracy 1t will merely
emphasize the reputation Of Tafts
leadership.
meanwhile the country, determined
to be progressive and yet finding itself
without progressive party, is EN-.
broiled in the effort to produce one
