rived here from Colon on the steamship
Metapan for having brought together two
old friends on the run up the coast TO
New York.
On the first day out from the Isthmus
she met a fellow passenger named David
Cochrane. an engineer OF Philadelphia.
Being a fellow townsman Mrs Blackwell
felt free f. ask him many questions about
himself. Among other things she learned
that Cocbrane had come from Scotland.
On the third day at sea Mrs. Blackwell met
John Johnson, the chief engineer of the
Me,anan, also Scotchman. She told
Cochrane about the chief and introduced
them.
You're both Scotch" she said. Now

PRESIDENT TAFT'S vetoes Of the sew
eral tariff bills passed by Congress at the
extra session just ended are as discredit-
able TO him as they are disappointing to
the people of the country. His reasons
for disappearing these measures are
puerile, and show the great weakness OF
the man. To deprive the people OF a
great benefit because the platform OF the
party that nominated him does not declare
for the proposition is no less silly than
the reason he gives in another case, that
he is waiting for further information from
dummy board that everybody knows is
simply toy.
Democrats may well rejoice at the fool
ishness OF the President, for it means
party success for the next year. But we
feel no elation on this account-we deep
ly regret that relief from intolerable con-
ditionS is denied the great masses of the
people because of the Presidents lack oil
wisdom and patriotism.

CONGRESS adjourned Tuesday, the SeS-
sion coming to close after Strenuous but
unsuccessful efforts had been made to
secure laws relieving the people from
heavy tariff burdens. President Taft,
however, vetoed every measure OF this
sort that was presented to him, and the
people will have to wait for Democratic
President. No party has ever made a
more honest or able attempt to keep Its
pledges than did the Democrats in this
Congress. Every promise has been re-
deemed, not an Objectionable law Sug-
gested, and the Democratic majority in
the House has proven itself entirely wor-
thy OF the confidence OF the people.
1t leaves fragrant memory, but Pres
ident Taft is fly in the ointment-and a
big one.
