carry out his administration program.
No president ever made poorer
guess or drove a worse bargain. Mr..
Taft's partnership with the reaction
aries has brought him nothing that he
could not have taken for himself; 1t
has cost him an enormous measure OF
public confidence. and the rank and
file OF the Republican party is now
busy Tepudiating the faction upon
which the president is leaning.
Had Mr.. Taft remained with the pro
gressive Republicans where he be
longed he would now be at the head
of a practically united party. The re-
dictionaries would have had TO sur
render Internationally. for they can
not exist unless they are regular. Pop

THE BEAST AND THE BALLOTS

Denver held a municipal election
the other day and when the ballots
had been counted II was found that
the people had decided:
For municipal ownership OF the city
water plant.
For the initiative and referendum.
For the recall.
For the Citizens ticket, as against
the two machine tickets.
Against certain fake" amendments
introduced TO puzzle the voters.
Against the renewal Of the water
company's franchise.
Against local prohibition.
This was perhaps the most signih-
cant municipal election ever held IN
America. II was finish fight be-
tween privilege and the people. On
the side OF privilege were arrayed all
the powers that prey-the Democratic
machine, the Republican machine, the
public service corporations. even the
city administration. On the other side
were Judge Ben Lindsey and his CO.
workers, the league for honest cleo
tions-and. as the tally shows, the
people.
No stone was left unturned In the
endeavor to defeat the popular will.
Money was spent lavishly with view
TO corrupting the electorate. Men and
women were hired to boost the wa
ter franchise on the streets and on
street cars.
Women were hired to canvass the
city, and then authorized to OFFER

In his book, The Beast and the Jun.
gle"
There were two issues before the
people-a real one and q fake one.
The real one was whether or not
the water company should be given
a new franchise.
The fake one was the saloon ques-
ton.
When the people showed signs Of
studying an Understanding the fran
chise business. the water company
started the liquor issue to divert their
attention and TO divide their forces.
This Is the usual method OF franchise
seekers.
The water company and its allies
spent close to 100000 on the election.
The people spent something like 81.
500. They had no general organiza-
tion-no poll workers. Yet they won.
This sweeping victory IL triumph
for the cause OF good government. Its
prime significance lies In the fact that
II was victory won In the capital Of
Colorado. In a machine-ridden city In
a state In which bipartisan corrup-
ton has been rampant for these many
years.
Ii Is evidence that the rank and Ale
OF the American people Is sound at
heart; that no community is so cor
rupt that its people will not vote for
good government when the issue Is
put squarely before them.
Denver folks have at least been
enabled to see clearly the Beast"
long so cunningly yelled. Once hay
ing seen the enemy for just what II
Is. they have lost no time In bruising
its bipartisan head.
II is especially encouraging that the
people of Denver decided to settle the
water question at one election and the
liquor question at another.
II the cloak OF moral issues no
longer hides graft and grab, it's as
big an advance for good morals as it
lis a setback for grafters.

BLINDED BY TOO MUCH LIGHT
Saws the New York Times:

Says the New York Times:
Whenever discussion arises as to
the wisdom or unwisdom OF presiden-
tial journeys around the country the
invariable argument OF those who be.
lieve In these peregrinations Is that,
on the one hand. they enable the peo-
pie to get acquainted with their chief
executive and to Judge him for them
selves, and that, on the other, they
provide him with a needed opportun-
ity TO get some real knowledge OF
public sentiment. The force of this
argument depends, obviously, upon
the accuracy OF its underlying assump-
tons, first, that the people can form
correct estimate OF president from
looking at him and hearing him make
a speech, and, second, that from the
behavior OF his audiences he can tell
what Is thought OF himself and his
policies.
AS bearing upon the validity OF these
assumptions, II Is worth noting that
from his recent railway trips the
president has deduced the conclusion
that he Is an object OF enthusiastic
popular approval-that the country, or
at least that part OF It which he has
visited, Is with him, and that, since
he came across no critics, they must
be few In number. This indicates
that president on his travels simply
changes one form OF isolation for an
other. He is everywhere a guest who.
because OF his high Office, II for no
other reason, confers honor on bis
hosts, fact which they are glad TO
recognize whether they agree with
him politically or not, and from the
time when he quits the White House
Till he returns TO It he lives In an
atmosphere that is but Ill calculated
either for the giving or the gaining OF
really trustworthy impressions.
or course there Is no place in the
United States where the presence OF
President Taft would not attract a
crowd ready to cheer his very likable
personality, and a majority OF those
In IL would be more than likely to
applaud anything he said. That Is
because men whom his course has
offended or disappointed would be apt
TO remain away from his meetings or
to keep courteous silence II attract
ed to them by curiosity. A president
would have to be sunk much deeper
In the general esteem than Mr.. Taft
has done or is ever likely TO do be-
fore he would encounter the first
overt sign OF unpopularity or antagon-
ism. He must look elsewhere than
at public meetings-at which he Is
himself the principal figure or even
present-for light on the state OF
public sentiment. When people are
displaying their company manners"
they rarely reveal anything else.
