A SQUARE DEAL FOR TAFT.

That there is ground for severe criticism of
many of President Taft acts may be admitted
That he has made thousands of republicans luke
warm toward his denomination, and many ac
lively hostile TO IT, is obvious. But even the
president of the United States is entitled to fair
play. And Mr.. Taft is not getting if. During
the past few weeks he has been subject not only
to attack, but to gross misrepresentation. The
process of belittlng him has been carried to
wholly mjustiiable extremes; and the result is
really TO belittle the men who are responsible
for it, Distortion of the facts has been com
mon, along with nSinuatiOn of bad motives. And
there has been too much hitting below the belt
too much warfare against the president of the
nature of snealIing ambush instead of manly
standup fight
We are glad to see that something like a
protest at these unhandsome methods has set
in; and that college professor has had the
honor of taking the lead in it. At Madison,
Wisconsin, on Saturday, Professor A. b. Hall Of
the university called for fair play for Mr. Taft
Holding "A chair in the department of political
science, Professor Hall has to keep track of
public events and gives it as his deliberate
opinion that never in the history of the country
has there been an executive who more vigorously
enforced the law than President Taft. Himself
a La Toilette man. the Wisconsin professor has
the defency thus to speak out against the kind
OF underhand mlsstatement and muttered fault
finding that have been current Mr.. Taft may
not be great presidents it may not be wise
for his party to nominate him again; but he is
entitled and the country is entitled. to have the
ease against him put fairly and openly. There
has been far too much whispering and secret in
trigung and cowardy assault, willing to wound
but afraid to strike-New York Evening Post

NO MONKEY BUSINESS.

Whether John Bull did it to exclude the
with the British i'll the matter Of contracts to
supply meat to his army and navy he is no re
Specter of persons as far the moral qualifica-
tons of the bidder is concerned. The ultima
tum issued is that persons firms fling bids
must be without the suspicion of awlessness
guing from the premises that the government of
Great Britain is itself organized law 1t is posi-
bic that the open charge of awlessless on the
part Of the American packers led to this short
cut to exclude them from the bidding for other
reasons, of course but without question the mo-
tves however, the reason assigned is Il good
one. A law-abiding nation has right to refuse
to do business with persons or firms charged with
awlessness
incidentally the British government has done
more to punish the packers by the simple am
nouncement than we have been able to do with
all civil and penal codes in the last 20 years
The loss OF the contracts means loss of $15,-
100000 worth of business This probably is
mere bagatelle to the beef barons. but there is
no possible chance of evading the decision There
is no chance Of appeal Whether we indorse the
method as a matter of absolute justice or not we
must at least admire its drectness There is
lesson in it for in our dealing with alleged
law-breakng corporations Our government for
years has enacted laws for the regulation of the
trusts and practically all they have amounted
to is endless litigation. The laws themselves are
well-mtended but lame in their enforce
ment

SHOULD APOLOGIZE.

One of the manifest things that Robert NJ La
Toilette could do while on his present speaking
tour would be to retract the slanderous charges
he made against President Taft in the Controller
Bay matter and the mobilization Of troops on
the Rio Grande during the Mexican revolution
1t will be recalled that he directly accused
the president of shady practice in connection with
the "Diclto-DicS'' letter, document later
found to be fictitious and as contemplate fake
perpetrated.
But even more vicious was his assault on the
head Of the nation when the troops were ordered
to the border. Then he accused the president of
using the army to protect the business interests
of his brother Charles p. Taft in Mexico.
The president has since been indicated, if
he ever needed vindication of anything charged
by La Toilette. Therefore a public apology from
the Wisconsin senator is in order before the
American people will believe that he has the
qualities necessary for the presidency

NEW ERA IN CAIRO.

The people of Cairo and OF Alex
ander county are to be congratulated
upon the verdict of guilty In the case
OF VIM. Hackney, who killed q fisher
man named Walden some npnths
ago. The verdict was unexpected by
many. not because of feeling that
Hackney was innocent for the com
trary OF this is true; but because tor
some wears past it has seemed I'M
possible to procure a verdict OF guilty
in a murder case in this county, no
matter how atrocious the muir
der, or how strong the evidence was
againsht the accused.
In view of this fact the verdict in
this case may be taken as marking
the beginning OF new era in the
criminal Jurisprudence of this coun-
ty: an era In which the sheriff and
his appointees will be servants of the
people for law and order; in which
Jury packing for The accused will be
at an end in which perjured Wit
nesses,, when they appear upon the
stand will be Spotted" ami their ties
timony brown aside with contempt;
In which trial jpries will have high
er sense Of their responsibility to the
community, ignoring the trivial tech
niealities OF law that justice may be
done and good government prevail.
That VIM. Hackney was guilty of
murder no one who knew the story of
his crime could doubt. Having quar-
relied with his victim over a trivial
matter he armed himself, went on a
hunt for him and shot him dead
Hackney's career has been that of a
'rounder" and ruffian. He had his

"The Loss of tho Royal George"

The poet Cowpers story as set forth
In the verses we all know on The
Loss of the Royal George" is fiction
from beginning to end.
The Royal George sank simply and
solely because the ship WAS rotten,
owing to the neglect of the authorities
during sixteen years OF peace time
while the Royal George WAS lying in
harbor to keep her in scaworthy
state. 1t came about in fact quite
suddenly and was the result Of a
great piece Of the ships bottom drop

Dwarf Honeybees.

no larger than a child's hand, and the
cells are about the size of II small pin

Valuable Counterfeits.
There are cases on record where
counterfeit coins are worth more than
the coin which they initiate. In former
times platinum, which has about the
same weight as gold. was worth only
one-third as much. The counterfeiter
sawed the real coin into three sections,
leaving. both the diverse and the re-
verse sides untouched. The third part
was taken out and platinum substi-
tuted for It. A little milling machine
and some skillful soldering did the rest
The counterfeit was almost beyond de-
lection, even to its ring. Since those
days platinum has increased tremen-
dously In value, and coin counterfeit
ed In this way is now worth more than
the genuine. -Argonaut.

Thumbs have been appreciated ever
since the world began. The ancients
used to call the thumb the other hand.
Barbarous kings used to swear and
make compacts by their thumbs. In
Rome II was sign of favor to wiring
and kiss the thumb and of disfayor
or disgrace to lift 1t up or turn 1t out
ward. A man who was hurt In his
thumbs was excused from serving In
the Roman wars. Some of the sc0un-
drelly citizens used to cut off their
thumbs so as to remain at home and
get rich. Teachers used to punish their
pupils by biting their thumbs.
