wisely charitable-to do good with

To give aims is nothing unless you
give thought also. 1t is written

Outlook for Next Congress.

Outiook TOR next Congress-.
The winning Of the $250.OOO tariff
board appropriation. the signing OF the
statehood act. the virtual passage OF
the land withdrawal authorization, the
railroad bill and the postal savings
measure should mean the turning of
the tide for Williarm Howard Taft.
His administration will henceforth be
judged not by promises but by results.
And 1t Is our prediction that the pop
ular estimate Of its real worth will
not fail to go upward day by day.
This Ia an important alteration in
the surface OF affairs. But important
as 1t is, there is every probability that
Mr.. Taft himself considers the profit
that may come to the Republican party
is far more important than any benefit
that may accrue to his personal for
tunes. The seriousness with which he
takes his party chieftainship makes
this almost certain.
In Washington 1t is a commonplace
that the Democrats are to win the
house. Away from Washington,
where the political viewpoint is pure
ly professional" there is large dif-
ference Of opinion over this prediction.
1t is believed by those whose belief
may come more directly from the
voters that the winning or the losing
Of a score of seats depends more upon
the accomplishments OF the present
session Of congress than upon any
thing that was done in the special tar
III session.
A Republican house will give Pres
ident Taft the chance that should fair
ly be his to put upon the statute books
all the reforms which he has stead
fastly championed. A Democratic
house will mean confusion. There
will be a deadlock with the Repub-
lican senate: all legislation will be
held up or gotten through on unex-
pected compromises. Worse still. a
Democratic house will mean uncertain
ty to the business world. The lack
Of sure knowledge as to what untried
Legislative leaders may do will stretch

drives the wheels of trade will be

IN large degree. the first con.

on the record Of his administration
and OF congress. Neither MT TAFT nor
the Republican party has reason to
lear the test Of the canvas which will
soon formally open. The president

the beginning. Mr. Taft has made
more trips. short and long, than even
Mr. Roosevelt made in the first year

papers be Cancelled.
