It lis not exaggeration to say that
never in American history has ;
president so uncovered his inclina
tons and his, purposes as Mr.. Taft
has done in his. recent message to
congress.
So centralize the authority ovel

and give. tbe,Teins into the keeping
Of political Organization which, de.
irving its campaign funds from the
sery concerns it is, expected to regu-
late. finds it Convenient to allow the
people to be oppressed in order that
the business interests of the coun,

Is it possible that there is in all
America republican who. having no
axe to grind. ,can. not see that the
policies so bllntly outlined in the
presidents special message are not
intended to- advance the interests of
popular government?

that the great work so far advanced
will go forward with proper energy
and disaptch. OF course there IL
nothing in this for the two big locks
and dams at Mound City and Grand

end OF the river are chiefly interest
ed; but these will receive attention
in due time--the time fixed for the
completion of all locks and dams

In his speech at Cairo, and in
speeches elsewhere, President TAT
clearly expressed the opinion that
the Ohio river improvement should
be completed first, and that after this
other big projects might be taken up

associates deferred to the presidents
