President Taft Triumphant.

Less than one month ago, as the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican wei
says appearances indicated that the
session might end with the whole adj,
ministration Legislative program
deadlocked, yet now and So soon, We
see the great body of that program
copied into the statute books as fol
lows:
Revision of the railroad laws, in
Guiding the creation of "a commerce
court.
admitting Arizona and New
Mexico as separate states.
authorizing the establishment o
postal savings banks.
Giving the President unlimited
authority to withdraw public lands fol
conservation purposes.
"AuthOriZing the issue of 100000, 00d
in certificates of Indebtedness to com
plete reclamation projects.
Extending the activities of the
tariff board and appropriating $3.50.
600 for it's use. :,
providing for publicity of Con
gressional campaign contributions.
This is not quite all the President
asked of Congress; but it embodies
the more important features of his
program"
In obtaining these results President
Taft has had to work against enor-
nous obstacles and to exercise the
utmost good nature and tact while al
the same time and all of the time be-
ing assailed by politicians and a great
portion of the public press.
Outlines it seemed as though sure
failure would result and all his efforts
be in vain. The harsh criticism OF
many Republican papers from which
President Taft felt that he should re-
ceive kindly air in his attempts t,
have Congress fulfil the promises OF
the party platform would have worn
harshly upon a man of less equanimity
and broad mindedness than President
Taft.
He has worked on with enormous
patience and faith and, to again
quote the Republican,:
LAS a mea sure of achievement fol
a single Congress session, the like is
not to be found in the whole sever
years of Mr.. Roosevelts administra
ton"
Withal it begins to appear that eth
er President Taft was born a natura
politician, or that since he found
playing politics necessity in Wash
ington, he has acquired large politica
sagacity and ability.
One fact seems now to be legible in
large letters upon the political
horizon; there seems to be no longer
any necessity for hysterical outcries
for third term for Colonel Roose-
Welt as the man who does things
because President Taft has proven
his ability to secure results himself

so that the amount of charge passed
to the cells is adjusted to the demand
which will be made upon them; while

only sufficient current is generated

so Congress has adjourned. Well.
| wish it wouldn't meet again for SIX
years" So spoke one of Augusta s
leading business men as he looked up
from reading his paper the other day.
Now, while that man didn't mean ex-
actly what he said, he gave natural
expression to a sentiment that is wide
spread among people. All enterprise
halts at uncertainty, unless it be the
business of the speculator. A GER
tain amount of agitation however,
makes for progress and too much
produces nervous prOstration.
Under our form of government II
has not been found wise to attempt
to fix arbitrary. limit on political agi-
tation. The only corrective to TINS
freedom lies in the intelligence of the
people and their capacity for putting
their wisdom into effect. Those who
fought and toiled for our laws and IN
situations realized that they were
precious and worthy OF extreme care
and attention. Those who inherited
these achievements, who had no part
in these grand struggles, seem to for
get that they have any responsibility
to bear They will tell you they
have other things to think about than
politics. They appear ignorant of the
fact that one who doesn't bother with
politics is likely to be bothered by
politics.
A few days ago the writer overheard
conversation a part of which was
Illuminating. The admirable work
accomplished by this last Congress
had been referred to and one SAID ne
could not understand how a thinking
man could be otherwise than pleased
with what had been done No Con-
gress for years had been more re
sponsive to the expressed will of the
country than the last one. 20, but
it's that part of the public which
doesn't think that turns the tide when

ply
Was that the truth? Is any con-
siderable portion of the voters con-
tent to act the mischief of the I'M
thinking part. Are they too busy

about politics? Do they wish to leave

the fathers of this country fought to

quire; but there are several distin-
gushing features that make for sim
plicity and efficiency of operation.
The chief of these consists in the EN- !
ployment of Rosenberg dynamo,
which. being intrinsically self-regulat-
ing. gives sensibly constant output
and constant voltage over wide
range of speed. AS a result external
devices designed to keep the voltage
constant, as by permitting the belt
to slip or inserting demagnetizing coils
in the circuit. become unnecessary
Another characteristic of this dyna-
mo is that the direction of the current
II yields is the same whatever the
direction in which it's armature OF
pole-changing arrangements is avoid l.
ed.
When the train is at rest the cur
rent is, of course, supplied by the bat
terry, but as soon as the speed of the
train reaches about Seven miles an
hour, the dynamo cuts in by the
agency of a magnetic switch. At a
speed of eighteen or twenty miles an
hour the output attains it's full value,
and varies but a little with higher
speed; the voltage also remains con-
slant to within S per cent, even
though the train speed rises to eighty
or ninety miles an hour. At normal
speed the dynamo is adjusted, by
shunt regulator, to generate about so
per cent. more current than is re-
quired by the lamps, the surplus 60
ing to charge the batteries. The act
of moving the main switch to the
half lights" position inserts a sec
ton of resistance in the dynamo

whose legal services and knowledge

In every case the public, through

bring the offenders to justice While
the crimes We're fresh in the public
eye, a rapidly waning eagerness as

BILE indifference ere six months or a
year from the discovery Of the wrong

Not only in our largest cities is the
percentage of unpublished populations
lamentably large. Human nature is
pretty much alike whether in rural or
urban surroundings. Give a weak
man or a bad man a chance to steal
and a fair show to escape without
loss of liberty or property and he will
be apt to get busy in bad way,
whether he is treasurer of county

say: The escape from being jailed

Republicans Rejoice.

The gathering in this city of dele
gates from the Republicans of Maine
is an occasion for rejoicing.
Because the Republican party does
things for which it is not called upon
to apologize
Because it is not ashamed of it's
record
Because the Republican party is
not only effective but is likewise
progressive.
Because a Republican Congress ad-
journed last week with more i'm
portant and wise legislation to its
credit than any other Congress in
many years
Because this legislation fulfilled the
party's pledges to the people.
Because the Republican party Sc
