AS MEASURE OF ECONOMY
President Taft Wise in Asking Cor
gressional Sanction for Employ
ment Of Experts.

The president asked Chairman
Tawney to secure the insertion in the
sundry civil appropriation bill of an
item for the employment of business
experts to overhaul the operations OF
the executive departments. Secretary
MacVeagh, upon assuming charge OF
the treasury, enlisted the aid of sew.
eral Chicago business experts, who
served without compensation, and as
a result of their efforts in one section
of the department considerable O
mics were effected. This led the presi-
dent to believe that the extension of
that inquiry might be equally valu-
able.
There have been other attempts to
overhaul the departments, notably the
Keep commission, named upon the sug-
gestion of President Roosevelt. That
commission, however, consisted Of Of
ficials and it savored somewhat of the
blind attempting to lead the blind, al
though some good was accomplished.
The introduction of business methods
by experts u%ninfluenced by experience
in political service may accomplish
more. The experiment of the secre-
tary of the treasury suggests that 1t
might be worth while and the econO-
mics secured by the p%ostoffice depart
ment indicate another probably profit
able field for their researches.

Deserves Support of Voters.

Attorney General Wickersham,
speaking from his own knowledge Of
the splendid leadership of President
Taft and of the faithful and earnest
efforts of the national administration
to restrain ~monopolies and to preserve
the peoples rights, draws the un-
a~voidable inference that it is the duty
of all Republicans to fall in line be.
hind the president and to support him
in his conscientious and i~ndefatigable
labors. This is the right course not
only because it is for the interest OF
the people, but because the Repub-
lican party can in this way alone main
tain the standing which has come to it
as a national factor from taking the
lead In regulating corporations and IN
suppressing excesses. This Is a case
where emphatically in union there is
strength, and union should be effected
on a practical basis, which Is by keep
ing all the forces of the party togeth-
er behind the one man who is In a
position to accomplish something that
Is really effective. The Republicans
in may well take the hint,
so that their party control may not
be d~issipated by the chasing of rain
bows.

The New Commerce Court

There will be general approval, we
believe, of the action of the house
at Washington in amending the ad-
ministration railroad bill in respect
to the name of appointing the pro-
posed interstate commerce court.
The measure as presented by Mr..
Taft's cabinet provided for the ap-
pointment by the president of I'VE
members Of the court with power to
pass upon appeals from the decisions
of the interstate commerce commits
sion. The house amendment pro-
vides that the president shall have
power to appoint five additional cir
cult judges and that the justices OF
the supreme court shall select from
all the circuit judges of the country
five who shall make up the personnel
of the commerce court.
The first natural and desirable re-
suit of this amendment will be to re-
move the commerce court from poll
tics and make it what the country
wants it to be, a judicial body the Sc
lection of which is not made on &C
count of political service or political
prominence of its members. The
amendment unquestionably strength
ems the bill.

Tariff Properly Revised.

The nation as a whole is coming
to the realization that there has been
a revision of the tariff downward. Con-
gresham Mccall, quoted by Mr.. Sher-
man. declares it is the greatest cut
made at any time since Washington
signed the first tariff bill. The advan-
tage on the side of the defenders OF
the bill is: First they have the facts
with regard to its good points; and
secondly they admit, as the president
admits, that some improvements can
vet be made. They are working
against the transformers, who are
weak in two ways. They are not in
formed on the bill itself, and they are
not big enough to admit its good
points.
The people are coming to see, also,
that the Taft administration has made
good in every way.

KNOW TAFT
MUCkRAKERS' USELESS EFFORT
TO DISCREDIT HIM.
Latest Attempt, In Connection With
the Ballinger Case, Is Ludicrous
The Facts Stated From a
Disinterested Standpoint.

The latest attempt to discredit the
president of the United States is per-
haps the lowest which has yet been
ventured by his enemies or by the
muckrakers whose only object is to
make money by selling SANDER and
defamation of character. 1t is a story
told by a s~tenographer In the interior
department, for what inducements Is
not definitely known, about the prep
aration of a statement Of the CLAWS
case-the CLAWS part of the Ballinger
case-which seems to have been
adopted by President Taft as the
groundwork wherein he based his let
ter to Ballinger. acquitting him and
sustaining him, and authorizing the
dismissal of CLAWS.
Taking the Kerby story as 1t stands,
the charge made is easily boiled down
to an assertion that the president was
given a draft of a letter which he
might have adopted as his own. had
he so desired, and sent to Ballinger,
and that he did, in fact, make 1t the
base of his letter, differently worded.
1t is like saying hat a judge took a
carefully prepared brief submitted by
a lawyer, looked 1t over, considered 1t
a week or so, and then adopted Its
views as substantially his own.
There is nothing mysterious or sus-
picious about such a transaction. 1t
is the kind that takes place constantly
among men busy with large affairs. 1t
adds nothing of importance to the
Ballinger case.
AS for that grave matter, the posi-
ton of the country-of every honest
man and decent newspapers still
that the truth, the whole truth and
the truth only, must be brought to
light and made the basis of the popu'
lar and official verdict. 1t is relatively
unimportant who may be hurt OF
benefited, or what the political conse-
quences may be. Truth, right and
Justice are the vital factors in the
case. Nothing else should count.

President Has Done Well.

It has been the presidents steady
purpose and desire that the chief
pledges of the platform on which he
was elected should be realized in law.
In this he has succeeded, in spite OF
many difficulties, especially, perhaps.
the conflict in his party precipitated
by his own assistance in Senator
Aldrich's scheme of discipling the In
surgents; and the result is that this
session of congress adjourns with a
body of constructive legislation to its
credit that a few weeks ago seemed
altogether out Of reach.
