TAFT In BAD LIGHT
PEOPLE LOSE CONFIDENCE IN
EAsY.GoING PRESIDENT.
Chief Executive Has Proved His Sub.
serVlency to AdVisers-Small Won
der That Voters Look on Him
With Increasing Dlsfavor.

The latest phase of the Ballinger in
vestigation plainly proves what has
been for more than a year circumstan-
italy evident, that William Howard
Taft's opinion in matters of state are
not the result of his own investigation
and reasoning.
Our unfortunate president has fallen
under the influence OF others. His
messages and speeches reflect, not his
personality, but the wishes of those
who surround him, irrespective of what
his own judgment might dictate as in
the best interest of the Republican
party or the people of the United
States.
The general public will be shocked
to learn that Mr.. Taft's letter of Sep
tember 10, 1909, generating Secretary
Ballinger from the charges made by
CLAWS, was based on a statement pre-
pared in Mr.. Ballinger's private office
by Mr.. Ballinger's special deputy at
torney general, Mr.. Lawler, the essen
tial points of which Mr. Taft wrote
into his letter almost word for word
The unfortunate position in which
the president finds himself is not i'm
proved by his admission that he asked
Attorney General Wickersham to make
written finding, embodying the Law
Ter argument, and address IL to the
White House under an earlier date
than September Is, so that it might APP
pear that the eXoneretion of that date
was based thereon, instead Of on the
argument of official counsel for Mr..
Baliinger and his department.
In the light of these revelations Mr.
Taft cannot complain If the public
credits Aldrich with having written his
famous speech in defense of the AID
rich-Taft tariff. Cannon with his pleas
for party regularity, the railroads with
his railroad legislation, and eastern
money kings with his proposed new
banking laws.
Theodore Roosevelt was a law unto
himself, but the people of the United
States prefer even the Roosevelt
brand of imperialism in the White
House to blindly confident complais-
ance that judges a case first and seeks
evidence afterwards

People Have Lost Confidence.

In the conservative Republican
states of the east MIR. Taft's prosecu-
ton of the Roosevelt policies, with
some additions of his own, is disliked.
1t has cost him great part of his
popularity, It has cost him much OF
the public confidence he enjoyed
when he took Office. Where Is he to
turn for support? In what quarter
and by what acts or declarations can
he hope to regain the confidence Of
the people? The west turns against
him because of his acceptance and de-.
Tense Of the unsatisfactory tariff. In
the east not only are his corporation
policies disapproved, but the election
Of Mr.. Foss shows that the tariff, also.
Is unpopular, and he has accepted re-
sponsibility.

The National Cnnscienoe

In the commercial game, as played
by eastern trust barons and their
iackeys in congress, the natural laws
of supply and demand are suspended.
They aim to control both produc-
ton and the supply markets. They
corner everyday commodities, inclu.
ding the basic foodstufs and other
necessaries of life, and take toll on
the needs of the poor.
That is why the national conscience
Is slowly but surely moving toward
the overthrow Of special privileges
for trust manipulators.
Americans will no longer tolerate
legalized robbery of consumers by the
tariff. That will be demonstrated i'm

KEEP TRUTH BEFORE VOTERS
Platform Writers Must Show People
Just What the Real Strug-
gle Means.

Senator Beveridge's suggestion that
the coming struggle is between the
people and the powers of pillage"
should sink deeply into the minds of
platform writer's in this campaign.
The appeal for votes by the progress
sive element must get away from
plattudes. 1t must treat party shib-
boleths with disdain.
There is not a shadow of doubt that
a majority of the American people be-
lieve the tariff to be the stronghold of
special privilege. They are convinced
that the Aldrich-Taft revision did not
break these chains of privilege.
The people want the tariff revised
not by friends of the tariff, but by
friends of the people. No real revision
is possible by the paid attorneys Of
trusts.
In appealing for votes, therefore. pro.
gressive platform writer's should keen
uppermost this central truth-that il
is not struggle between political par
ties at all, but between the people and
the money power.
Let the platforms be simple and d.
rect, going to the root of this nations
greatest economic afIliction. A trust
controlled tariff is public enemy, and
the people are ready to fight it under
proper leadership.
The waving of party banners will
not do this year. The old battle cries
VIII not help revival of national con-
science.
Besides being simply stated the
platforms of the progressives in all
states should set out in clear and pre-
else terms that the battle between me1
and money knows no sectional bounds.
