Taft Unconscious.

For several days we have tried, un-
successfully to reconcile two apparent
ly irreccacileabe statements for which
the President is responsible One he
made himself in Michigan, September
26, 1911 The other was made for him
in Beverly. Massachusetts, September
Is, 1910.
The President said: "'They have
charged me with using the patronage
to accomplish something. If have, l
was unconscious of il. "
Mr.. Norton, his secretary wrote:
"The President felt it his duty to his
party and to the country to withhold
Federal patronage from certain sena-
tors and congressman. Ia certain
states, like Wisconsin and Iowa and
elsewhere, he was willing, in The inter
est Of what the leaders thought would
lead TO party success. TO make certain
determinations
We confess we are stumped Can
our readers reconcile the two state
ments? Is the Presidents memory
short? Did Mr. Norton misrepresent
him? What hypnosis has made hun
"unconscious" Of his erstwhile secre-
tary's confession in his behalf?

Officers, jur,es, even the railroad
commission, are at work investigating
the Neenah tragedy, whereby fifteen
lives persisted and about half that many
were seriously MANNED out of hayrack
load of thirty human beings at a rail-
road crossing.
What strange commentary It is
this feverish activity to assign perfect.
ly evident causes after some terrible
disaster has taken place.
We venture to say that there are in
Wisconsin hundreds of grade crossings
just as dangerous az the one at Neenah.
Why not investigate these? Why not
work up public sentiment about them?
The heartrending tragedy of Sunday
can be counted on to accomplish what
ever can be accomplished at present to
render the crossing involved as safe as
may be
There need be no great worry that
another accident will soon happen in
that particular spot
But throughout the state other like
crossings will continGe to welcome dis
aster DISTINCTIONS to view of road OF
track will not be removed, drivers OF
wagons or automobiles will still attempt
to pass before approaching trains.
Here, much more than at Neenah, is
where the railroad commission SHOULD
get busy, where citizens should become
aroused to the necessity of framing
precautionary rules.
The grade crossing, whether in towr
or country, is always a menace, anl
America is more than a quarter of {
century behind Europe in attempting
its elimination or, at least, its abate
ment.
Until the safety of crossings can be
insured by mechanical means anC
there is no reason why it should not be

to its interests to devise and live up tc
measures that will prevent such dis.

WHERE GOLFERS STANDS

Golfers Weekly: Much comment is
caused by intense hostility to President
Taft and equally intense desire to adj
vance the fortunes of Senator La Fol-
lette. Now Golfers is notorious for
the betrayal of its friends. 1t believes
in Secretary Fisher, but it will turn on
him whenever it sees cause. 1t will
not do so, however, for the sake of
embarrassing the administration. 1t
would eagerly welcome Mr. La Fol-
lette as Republican candidate for pres
ident, but it will not therefore en-
deavor to paint Mr. Taft as devil. 1t
believes Robert La Toilette to be a
man Of noble character and superb
record; worthy of confidence and adj
miration; studious, brave and devoted;
but it need therefore side with him on
reciprocity, supreme court decisions
and the Aldrich currency plan. 1t has
been disappointed in Mr.. Taft on the
tariff, on conservation and on his treat
ment of Insurgents, but it hopes it is
not weak enough to be stingy in its
approval when he appoints Graves,
Fisher Simpson, Emery, B. H. Meyer,
Hughes, or when he works for peace
or reciprocity. If we would scold him
for yetoing the wool bill or for his fol-
y in carrying foolish campaign into
the insurgent states, and vet not stand
ready to p aise him, if he stands by
Wiley and puts the right man in place
OF Wilson, we should be untrue to our
own deepest convictions about the duty
Of the independent press. We know
full well that some of Taft's we'll
meaning enemies see so red that they
hate Fisher because he was willing to
go into the cabinet and thereby
strengthen II administration. They
will hate any nrst-rate man who takes
the place Of Wilson, Hitchcock or other
failure, whereas, if the president is
wise enough to supplant these misfts
with ideal selections, Golfers will re-
joice. The difference is ocean-wide.
This paper has, we believe, been of
some small service to the Insurgent
cause, and hopes to work in those
ranks for many years, but we can new
er Join those who seek advantage for
their faction by endeavoring to ruin
the administration and to bring even its
best-directed efforts into disrepute.
