THE LAW SUPREME
PRESIDENT TAFT'S DISTINCT
WARNING TO THE TRUSTS.
Statutes Must Be Obeyed. and the
Government Will Proceed on
Its Course Without Fear
or Favor.

Mr.. Taft's warning to the trusts is
identical with that of his predecessor
They must obey the law. All are sub
ject to IT, and such as violate it may
expect to be proceeded against, The
authorities will play no favorites.
1t may be asked, Why this announce
ment? Is it not everywhere under
stood and accepted that the law is for
all alike? Does not congress legislatC
on that principle? Are not judges
sworn to interpret and enforce the law
without fear or favor?
Many of the trusts need the warn
ing. The have been operating as with
contempt for the law. Retaining
eminent lawyers, and advised by them
on all points of Importance, they have
appeared to challenge enactments in
tended to put limit on their transac-
tions. In this way they have made
themselves a class apart, and a men
ace to the public. Tht ordinary law
breaker is easily reached. Without
guidance in his course, he soon lands
in the ditch. But predatory wealth
hires guides, and is not easily tracked.
Unless closely watched and diligently
followed, it secures and gets away
with the goods.
Recently the president has himself
been warned. Wall street has as much
as said to him: do you want to bring
on another panic? Have you forgot
ten, or are you Indifferent to. what
happened in 1907 after Roosevelt
threatened investments with inflamma-
tory talk about executing the law?
You are playing with fire, and con-
fiagaration now might become the
most disastrous in the country's his
tory"
Saturday night Wall street got its
answer. The law is for all. IF bust
ness methods anywhere are in defiance
of law they must be changed to con-
form to the law The administration
has no intention of running amuck.
But neither does it intend that the
trusts shall run amuck. All legiti-
mate values are the concern of those
in authority, and it will be protected
at every point. Other values have no
claim upon protection Why should
they have? Created in defiance of
law, even with the aid of men learned
in the law, they must yield to the pub
lie interests.
Mr.. Taft's word is good everywhere,
and his ability everywhere respected.
He is not an agitator, a crusader, nor
is he surrounded by men of that type.
He will do what he says, and his pow
er is great. Men violating the law, or
contemplating such conduct, should ac-
cept this latest deliverance of the
president at it's full face value. If
any trust suffers it will deserve its
fate.

RooseveIt's Return.

Ms. Roosevelt's cabled acceptance Of
tne proposal of the New York Repub-
lican club to tender him a public wei
come on his return from abroad next
June, taken in conjunction with the
fact that the plans were first submitted
to President Taft and approved by
him with the understanding that If at
all possible he would be glad to take
part, should effectively squelch the
ambitions of those VINO had hoped to
make political or factional capital out
of the former presidents home-com-
ing. The complete and cordial agree
ment evident between Mr.. Roosevelt,
the reception managers and Mr.. Taft,
the New Workers being most punctili-
Gus in consulting the president re-
garding his views, robs the Back
from Elba' club of all opportunity to
make trouble. According to the plans.
when the former president returns he
will be accorded q public demonstra-
tion, if possible reviewed by Presi-
dent Taft, but whether or not Mr.
| TaftS present association of himself
with the plan to honor his predecessor
sufficiently answers the disseminators
of dissension. Mr. Roosevelts well
come by his native city and state will,
no doubt. be an event of national in
terest, wholly apart from politics. His
insistence that if 1t is offered it should
take place on the day of his return
and not on later day indicates his
desire that 1t shall be a welcome and
not manipulation.
All of which is in keeping with the
general understanding of his charac-
ter. Mr.. Roosevelt may be impulsive
on occasion. but in his most impulsive
moments he has shown greater self,
control and judgment than many of
those who have been loudest in as.
suming his championship during his
absence.

A Pause in Devotions.

Mabel" called her father, outside
her bedroom door. There was no an
swer, so he called again. Still no re-
ply. He pushed open the door, which
was not completely shut, and reach
ing for the button, turned on the lights.
Then he saw Mabel. She was kneel-
ing at the side of her bed in her night
gown, in the attitude of prayer-the
attitude, that is, as to kneeling. But
she had raised her head at the inter
ruption and paused in her devotions
to blaze at him with a face flushed
with impatience.
Gee whiz. daddy! Can't a woman
say her prayers?"
Then she bowed her head again,
piously, and daddy, properly rebuked,
slipped noiselessly away.

The President and Congress.

There is belief in certain quarters
that congress, at this session, will not
carry out all of the presidents rec
concentrations. 1t may not They are
numerous, and some of them relate to
subjects requiring deep investigation,
and are certain therefore to provoke
protracted discussion. Congress is
full of lawyers, and in the shaping of
legislation lawyers are full of matter.
And even with the greatest care,
many laws are poorly drawn But the
presidents program, if comprehensive,
is sound, and in time the spirit of it
all will be written into law. So far,
his party is not opposing him in any
leading policy to which he stands
committed.

THEIR EDUCATION A DUTY
South American Republic Must Be
Looked Upon as Wards of the
United States.

Could we but wait. Time only is at fault.
All men become good creatures-but so
slow.
Congressman Harrison of New York
does not agree with this. He would
have the United States cease trying
to play the part of the good Samaritan
friendly policeman, or Jealous school
master in Central America. He thinks
political education would be wasted on
Central Americans, and that they are
irreclaimable, should be left to stew
in their own juice, and be forever the
slaves of petty tyrants. He is conf
dent that the United States will be
obliged to retire with modification
from its efforts to maintain democrat
ic governments in Central America.
He says they cannot be maintained.
Nicaraguans, Guatemalans, ct al. are
rather unpromising material. Their
political progress during nearly hun
dred years of freedom from Spain has
been slight Their governmental meth
DDS are primitive and crude, far re-
moved from the delicate and scien-
tific Tammany methods to which Con-
gresham Harrison is accustomed. The
Central Americans use force where the
Tammanyites use fraud 1t will take
the patience of years to wean them of
instructions, revolutions, and rebelli-
ons, and accustom them to orderly
processes of the repeater and ballot
box suffer. But the policy which Con-
gressman Harrison SCOTS at is in
dorsed by the American people, and
the United States will adhere to it
in spite of one or another such mighty
rebuffs.
The education of the Central Amer
leans so that they may be enabled to
maintain democratic governments is
for the United States matter of bus
mess as well as philanthropy If they
lived in Europe, Asia, or Africa, they
could misgovern themselves as much
as they pleased but they are our next
door neighbors. They are ill-trained
young brothers who must be kept in
order for the sake of the credit of the
family. 1t will take laborious years
to bring order out of the Central
American chaos, but the United States
has set out to do it, and will stick to
it, undeterred by the gloomy predic-
tions OF the pessimistic Mr.. Harrison.

A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders

The wrong food and drink causes a
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty of
every person that is i'll, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles

with her husband, been brought around
to health again by leaving off coffee
and some articles of food that did

so reduced in flesh and so nervous that
the least thing would overcome me.

gan using GrapeNuts in addition to

To Check Ravases of Tuberculosis.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
declares that there are two ways of
checking the ravages of tuberculosis
among school children. The first way
is to instruct every school child about
the dangers of the disease and to
show them how they themselves may
prevent tuberculosis in their homes.
The second method is to establish
open air schools for all children who
have tuberculosis or who are suspect
ed cases, segregating them from the
healthy children.

DIGS INTO CHICAGO GRAFT
