TAFT THE LEADER.

There is a unanimity of opinion in
the leading journals of the country,
regardless of political faith, that
President Taft has shown himself a
statesman and a leader in his sue
cessful attainment of progressive leg
islation at the hands of Congress.
The following symposium is of special
interest to the citizens of the Presi-
dents home state:
With the adjournment of Congress
Mr.. Taft stands better before the
country than at any other time since
he undertook to defend the Payne
Aldrich tariff.
In the final hours of the session
he showed a capacity for leadership
of which some of his warmest ad-
mirers had begun to despair. From
a reluctant Congress he wrung many
of the most important measures to
which his administration was pledged
and he has good reason to feel "grati-
fed, as he tells correspondent of
The World.
But for Mr.. Taft and the folly of
the Western railroads there would
probably have been no additional
legislation strengthening the inter-
state commerce law.
But for Mr.. Taft there would have
been no postal savings banks.
But for Mr.. Taft, Arizona and New
Mexico would not have been admitted
to statehood, and in this case the
President cannot be charged with in
terested motives, for the six electoral
votes of these two states are likely
to be Democratic in 1912.
But for Mr.. Taft there would have
been no campaign fund publicity law.
The record of successful service
can be extended still further. Mr..
Taft deserves high praise for the
courage he showed in resisting the
attempt of the labor unions to obtain
immunity from prosecution for viola
We shall even give him credit for
his warning to Congress that nc
further pork-bawel river and harboI
bills will receive his signature.
Mr. Taft has just cause for salts
faction. He has proved that he is in
complete control of the Republican
organization.-N. Y. World (Dem)

1t is really silly, some of this rot
that is finding its way into the edl-
torial columns of many of the news
papers about prohibiting the display
of fight pictures. Some of our edi-
torial brethren are using power of
brain matter in writing editorials de-
scribing the immoral effects of the
pictures when shown in the picture
shows. In one of the papers that
comes to our table we find spasm in
the editorial column and just three
columns further over on the same
page we discover a column article
describing the fight with a picture of
the black champions head surround.
ed by wreath of laurels. We can
hardly see any greater harm to re-
suit from the showing of pictures of
the fight than has already or may
result from the publishing of the re-
ports of the fight, describing as ac-
curately as is possible for the most
skilled writers to do, every point of
the fight in it's most sickening and
disgusting details. Throughout the
country a lot of cheap skate mayors
are advertising themselves as great
educators and moralists by declaring
the pictures, shall not be exhibited
in their towns, while at the same
time the reputation of the same
towns for corruption (Which the may
or must know all about is known
throughout the country as being vile.
We must confess that we are unable
to see any difference between vile
talk, vile reading matter, or vile pic
lures. If the fight pictures are too
bad to be shown to the public, then
the story of the fight is also too bad
to be published in the papers. One
is no more immoral or indecent than
the other.

In nominating Judge Baldwin for
Circuit Judge, the Democrats have
nominated one of the strongest men
in their party and one who COM
mands the respect of every citizen
as well as every member of the bar,
regardless of political affiliation. If
Judge Baldwin should accept the
nomination and perchance be elected,
it would make vacancy on the Com
mon Pleas bench that would be hard
to fill, and would remove from the
county local judge who has proven
himself most worthy and capable.
With the best of good will to Judge
Baldwin, We hope he will refuse the
nomination. We do not believe the
position to be more honorable than
the one he now holds, and the slight
difference in salary will have no
charm to him, when it is considered
that he would be required to be away
from home the greater part of his
time.

During these fine summer days,
when the people from neighboring
towns and cities are coming to Per-
rysburg in large numbers and are
looking at the natural beauties of
our village and also observing some
of the numerous instances of neglect
on the part Of our people in the mat
ter of keeping their premises and
surroundings in clean and neat con-
dition, it would seem that the village
authorities, especially the council,
should have the right and should ex-
ercise their authority to compel the
people to clean up. Rich and poor
alike should be made to do their duty
in this respect. Streets and alleys
should be cleaned up of all trash that
may be lying about and every citi-
zen should be given to understand
that the streets are not made for
dumping grounds.
