The Mistakes of Taft.

The Interpreter" writing in the
American Magazine, states the mis-
takes and the faults of the Taft admin
istration in an extraordinarily lucid
and comprehensive way. He says:
when President Taft came to the
White House he sincerely desired to
have the best advice he could get
He is a lawyer. Naturally he regard
ed those who were successful in his
profession as the wisest men. SO he
called about him the most successful
lawyers he could find. The growth
and dominance of corporations in the
business of this country, with their
essentially selfish attitude toward life,
made it inevitable that the successful
lawyers should be those who had
served the corporations. The presi-
dent is the titular head of the old
party. So we find the titular head of
the party surrounded by men whose
instincts are trained in a material
world To them, sentiment seems a
Stiffness; and we find great corpora
tons to the congressional committee
of the republican party.
And then a tariff bill was passed.
Schedules were arranged obviously to
fit campaign contributions and great
interests were protected because they
are great and powerful. The presi-
dent, surrounded by men who think
in terms of business, made a business
defense of the tariff. The people, who
think in terms of morals, made a
moral protest. The president smiled.
It seemed to him a passing pout. No
one around him knew enough about
public sentiment to tell the president
that he was facing the deep-set anger
of an outraged people. Statistics will
not convince them. One might as well
tell the father Of a stolen child what
a revenue producer the child is, and
expect him to be proud. as to quote
clearing house figures and customs
receipts to the American people. Any
one but corporation lawyers would
know this. The protest was moral
not economic, and no amount of pros
pcrity will quiet the protest"

attention and much favorable COM
ment all over the country. In this
particular line OF work the state of

er state in the union, and will be one
of the leading exhibitors among 80
states to be represented at the Ma

80 to Feb. II in the state exposition
buildings at Columbus, Ohio. Many
of the scientists of the country who
have had no chance to visit the Hi

take a special interest in the illinois
state exhibit and from which they will
get some good ideas.
Competitive exhibits Will be reCeiv-

through states only. The farmers or
Illinois should plan to exhibit samples
at the Corn Growers and Stockmen's
show at Urbana the last two weeks in
January. The prize winning samples
