This was the question to which
sought a reply in the editorial col
umns of more than one hundred Re-
publican newspapers.
In the first hour of investigation
found that the majority of the edi-
tors condemn Mr.. Taft mainly be-
cause of the company he keeps. They
resent his policy of close cooperation
with such men as Aldrich, Cannon,
Hale and Dalzel. They feel, further
more, that insult is added to injury
when the president. while listening at
tentively to the advice of the re-ac-
tionaries. insolently refuses to consid-
er the suggestions of such RepubIi-
cans as LaFollette. Clapp. Cummins,
Dolliver and Bristow. And then the
insult assumes the proportions of an
outrage in the estimation Of anti
Taft Repu blicans. when the president
goes so far as to charge from the
public platform that the progressivas
and insurgents are not Republicans,
and therefore ought not to receive
either patronage or confidence from
the party leaders.
The editors take the position that
the progressives and insurgent repre-
sent the sentiment of the Republi-
cans of the Lake, Prairie, Mountain,
Pacific and Southwestern states. They
reason therefore that when the presI-
dent refuses TO hear the advice OF
these statesmen the sections which
they represent are practically and

of people who may possibly think
that it's mere artistic atmosphere in
stead of a weak and tottering bunch
of abstract washed out personality

any old time stated.
Probably there is a faint tinge of
something pink and false and sus-
picious on her face-which merely
means she's making last grudging
grab at Elusive fleeing youth, and has
either been rushed or disturbed in the
grabbing.
And her hats?
Well, you can't tell much about a
woman nowadays by her shouting head
pieces, because the sanest of us wear
things cooked maliciously over one eve
or those triumphantly bringing up the
rear in a brave blatant transforming
way because the milliners and dealers
in this thing style need the money
which all the general mixings and
f1ummery bring into quick and violent
circulation,
But it doesn't matter whether we
have to wear pounds and pounds OF

it doesn't matter what catastrophes

Of mere man who is probably never

He can't-and he doesn't.
The Effect of Clothes.
Women-or a lot of them, are crea-
lures of moods-and clothes have a
lot to do, sometimes, with the way
they look over things in general.
Black taggy things have way OF
making the average female feel f1abby
and detected generally with a direct
result on her particular brand of sue
cess.
Conspicuous clothes ought to make
her feel like drawing into her shell oc-
casionally-but they sometimes don't

These are facts which render inSig-

Reasons For Dissatisfaction.
Il have spent two days in the con-
gressional library reading editorials
in the Republican newspapers of the
! Middle, Western, Southwestern and
Mountain states on the reasons of the
widespread dissatisfaction with the
Taft administration.
An unusually large number of edi.
torials have been printed on the sub.
iect within the last two weeks as a
result of the announcement of the
straw ballot taken among 3,037 Repub
lican editors of which number 1914
disapproved of Taft as president.
Why is Taft unpopular among the
editors of his own political faith? -

s. The attitude of the average Re-
publican editor who disapproves of
Mr.. Tafts administration. toward the
president personally, is interesting
and instructive. There is practically
no bitterness, toward the president
himself. The question of his integrity
or intent, it may be said, is not rails
ed. The whole burden of the eX-
preston is disappointment. The edi-
tors appear to realize that Mr.. Taft
is permitting others to guide him. In
his messages they see the handiwork
of A1drich; in his public speeches
they understand he is simply endors-
ing legislation conceived by the Aid
rich's and the Cannon's.
The anti-Taft Republican editors
see no reason to hope that Mr. Taft
will give up his present associations.
They have already grown weary hop
ing. They have come to believe that
he is so hopelessIy entangled that,
strive as he may, he cannot extricate
himself. The die was cast when Mr..
Taft selected his cabinet.

men who are now guiding the presi-
dent. The lineup would indicate that

achievement was to induce Preside 1T
