PLEASED WITH A TOY.

Down in Oklahoma We wonder Wi't .
the eN enuatihs cl', umstancCs "cre
that prompted Taft to grant par.
don to those who : ere convicted o. |
the sugar steal in which two million
dollars were taken from the govern
ment OF course Mr.. Taft is II mighty
good man. He wants 10 see all Of
tenders of the law punished, Of course
he does. Those fifteen dollar week
clerks that filed the steel springs so
.he scales would register little
differently were not told TO do this
by the millionaire sugar men. The
clerks just did IT, And the clerks
were not told that If they did not
tell on those higher up they would
be pardoncd and restored to full
citizenship and given another better
job. Certainly Mr. Taft did not make
IA lineup like this. We know when
the republican party wants million
for u campaign fund they 20 to the
sugar trust and get il and then leave
the gates down so the sugar trust
can steal two millions but little
things like that cannot influence so
great an organization as the rcpub
lican party and so great president
as the smiling Mr.. Taft who wanted
the people Oklahoma to vote the
constitution down merely for the
purpose Of leaving Oklahoma and
Indian Territory SO he could pay politi-
cal debts by appointment to Offices
No. Mr.. Taft could not do such
thing
The good people are not supposed
to Ccnsurc These errors are due
solely to the crcdulity OF a broad
wise. tolerant president SO honest and
ignorant that he has listened To
false friends The Balliugcr iuvcsi-
gation report is not to ho made
public until after the election. but
little Willie Taft smiles in iguo.
rance, he is not doing II to save
the republican party from wrcckagc
in November Nothing is to be done
in the Lorlmcr investigation until
after the election, and that delay
too must indeed be extremely pain .
ful to Mr. TAFT The soft pedal is
TO be applied TO the Indian land .
thievey until after rhc November F.
election. but Mr.. Taft is not to .
blame. lie Is the angel of the white .
house, he Is the guardian of the
rights Of the people and he will 7.
smile and serve them As best he
knows how. II is dclusion to
charge that Mr. Taft realizes what
ne is doing He is wise patient. F..
patriotic. tolerant man who is ire .
proachablc and unapproachable by
any sinister influence Wha ever his .
mistakes are they are without guile .
The tariff board will make report
OF it's impotence and futility but not
until after the election. While AldriCh /
fixed IL SO these tariff commission !
ers would not be appointees of the
government but mere hireings in the
hands Of the president. Yet Mr. Taft
was not a party to IT, Tart has been
pleased with toy for that Is about
all the tariff commission is
Taft ought TO be retained in the
white house indefinitely. he ought
20 have congressman elected to carry
out his will He has shown such wis. .
dom in the fine way he has turned .
this government over 70 Mdrich and .
Cannon and the little infants who
own the factories and plumber the F.
people that really he deserves The /.

Really nov, deep down in your heart F.
if YOU were q republican would you
not blush TO meet your neigbor F..
Would you no. hesitate long time
before you would ask friend 10
vote for a republican FOR congress
or 20 fill any other office? Did not
Taft show exactly what kind OF a
nan he vas when he first refused
while congress was in sessiOi. and .
Just as be saw that insurgency was
