To know the pain we may not share
Pity us, Masters, and relent;

The Taft Economies.

There are those VINO turn up their
noses and affect to despise small
economies. but when these little econ
onies are Jumped into magnificent
whole OF $50,000,000 the people begin
to approve Of Mr.. Taft's policies. The
Presidents straightaway course for
economy and sensible, practical bust
ness-like administration Of the ma
tons affairs has won him many thou
sands of admirers in the past few
months. President Taft has made no
attempt at q shooting star act. He
has contented himself with dealing
with public affairs in a way that any
should approve. In the. matter of the
war scare" the Presidents frankness
in outlining the preparedness OF this
country for war, coupled with his ex-
pressed disbelief that any nation would
dare 10 take the risk OF attacking us,
has apparently squelched the scare
which war officials intended to spring
upon the country, at the opening of the
session Of Congress.
Under the stimulus of warm debate.
Senator Aldrich declared that If he
could run the government to suit him
SELF he could save the nation $500, 000,-
900 per year, but Senator Aldrich vel!
knew that neither he nor any other
man could run this government in his
own way on business principles, be-
cause it is regulated by law. is
gradual development, with duplication
and outgrown methods. 1t has cnor-
nous expenses, like pensions. based
on sentiment or policy. and not on
business necessity. 1t cannot he ham
died like q factory. or even Il ucWS-
paper. and the Rhode Island senator
we'll understands that with all his fl
nancial genius. he could not save $780,
000.GM yearly for Uncle SAM We doubt
II he could have done any better or
even as WELL as President Taft has
done, in reducing the nations cxpen-
SeS $50, 900 600 in 4 year, even ii this
expert branch Of the Rockefeller fam
lily had had his own way in Tie ma
tons business affairs.
Oliver Cromwell'S famous advice to
his troops was Say your prayers, hu,
keep Your powder dry" and this ad-
vice was somewhat pararhrasod by
our famous colonel regarding the car
ryinG OF the big stick. President Taft
goes him one better by advising the
country not to throw any fits over the
prospect Of an attack by q nation which
mas every reason to be more afraid
Of us than we have of It, The world
knows that VIC have the men: that only
one nation has a more powerful ag-
grceation of ships, and President Taft
believes in saving. that we may have
the money. The sinews Of war arc to
nc found chiefly in the vaults OF the
worlds great bankers, and beyond
any question the bankers would back
this country in any war in which it
might engage. The question OF going
TO war is largely decided in the pri-
vate offices of the worlds great mon
ey men, rather than in the Offices OF
the military and naval strategy boards
of the various nations. It Is q. consol-
ing thought that If we are unrrepared
for war, and frankly admit it. and talk
about it without alarm. there are other
nations in worse predicamcnt be-
cause their unpreparedness is as great
or greater than ours and they dare not
admit it.
