TAFTS POSITION.

-ONE of the remarkable things about Mr. Tart as
~ president is the frank and open manner ia
which he gives his views to the public. He is not the
kind OF man who thinks he is eternay and always
right and abuses and condemns those who do not
agree with him.
In an interview with representative OF the
Outlook Mr.. Taft places his own position fairly
and squarely before the public If the people
think that after casting up the balance, pro and
con. of his term, he deserves another term, he
would be proud of the verdict but he will not
sacrifice his freedom TO do his duty as he sees
III for another term. His happiness he frankly
says, does not depend upon his holding Office
The President comedies that the new tariff law
is not all that it should be- that the wool tariff
needs trimming, but his objection to the Demo-
cratic and insurgent Republican plan of cutting
down this tariff was that business would have 10
be disturbed twice, once following the making of a
schedule without adequate information and then
again by remaking of the schedule after such
Information as the President desired had been Sc
cured
The President mentions the fact that he had to
contend with divided Republican party, and he
considers that he accomplished some beneficial re-
suits although he did not exert himself enough to
secure fair paper schedule.
Mr. Taft tells of his part in the enactment Of
the corporation tax, and says he is very proud of
it. AS will be remembered, there was a olamor for
an income tax a tax that the President thinks
proper in the emergency of war
Mr.. Aldrieh and Mr. Cannon and some others
feared that general income tax would be adopted,
and then Mr.. Taft suggested that the corporation
tax be levied. Mr.. Aldrch laughed at first, but
finally became serious when convinced that the
corporation tax would prevent the adoption of the
income tax.
Mr.. Taft may be proud of this, but we don't think
he will earn the applause of many of the stock.
holders of corporations. They are not proud OF
it. The tax simply cleared the wealth of the
country not invested in corporations and imposed
tax upon the wealth invested in corporations an
unfair discrimination. A man might have mil
hons invested in land, for example, from which
he drew large income which would be untouched
by the national government, but if he has money
invested in active business, it is taxed MANY
think that this corporation tax instead of some
thing to-be proud of is a blemish on the admin
istraton.

FIITuRE OF NDuSTRY.

II RESIDENT SETH LOW of the Civic Fedora
Il tion was a witness before the Senate Com
mittec on Interstate Commerce the other day,
testfying as TO what, in his opinion, should be
done towards solving the perplexing problem Of
the relation of the government to industry.
DR.. Low thinks that publicity should be applied
to business methods and that by means of Fed.
era incorporation law the government should
qure men in interstate business to reveal their
affairs to the public.
He favored a national trade commission that
would have powers similar TO those OF the Inter-
State Commerce Commission as such commits
sion could carry out the DEGREES of the courts for
the disintegration Of combinations effectively
than could the courts or the Attorney General.
The Civic Federation some time ago sent qucs-
tions TO organizations of merchants bankers and
manufacturers asking their views on different in.
dustria matters. The questions and answers
follow:
Whether the Sherman law as now interpreted
was clear and workable? Yes, l22; no, Al
Should there be return to competition? Yes,
1871; no, SSs
Should the Sherman law be amended? Yes,
5S5, no. l49.
Should railroads be allowed to enter into agree.
ments on rates? Yes, 975; no, g.
Should union labor be excepted from the pro-
visions of the Sherman law? Yes l02; no. 962
Should combination Of farmers be excepted
from the Sherman law? Yes, 200; no, 829
Should an act be passed providing for national
Incorporation? Yes ISL; no. 1911.
Should a national trade commission be created /?
Yes, Cid; no, 2i7.
The replies are interesting as showing that the
large majority think that the Sherman law should
apply TO farmers and labor unionsts as we'll as to
men in business big majority also believes
that there should not be return to competition,
which means that there must be more or less sup
ervislon of the big industries by the government.

SATURDAY. DEC. 2 1911,
THAT JOINT BUILDING.

TT LOOKS as if the Levy Court Commissioners
Il and the representatives of City Council who
have in charge the suggestion that the county and
city erect joint building we're likely to get into
tangle on some small points.
Apparently the Councilmen wish to know
whether the Levy Court Commissioners arc favor
able under any circumstances, to joint building,
but we surmise from the action of the commits
sioners that to large extent, whether they favor
the joint building plan or not depends upon what
proportionate share of the expense the city IS
willing TO bear.
All this could be brought out in another meeting.
Council should give the court the information 1t
desires. At the same time the members OF the
court should give Council some definite expression
of sentiment should state whether they would
favor the erection of joint building provided that
the expense were not too large.
Ii is time for another conference, and II is also
time for the various organizations in the city to
consider the matter seriously.

A nISGRAcEFIIL REcoRn.

R EPORTS Of the scenes in the Denver court
~ room when Mrs Gertrude Patterson was ac-
quilted of the charge of shooting her husband
make it appear as if the trial we're comedy At
least after it is over the fair defendant regards
It as such. She was unstrung while the jury was
celebrating, but she soon recovered when the
verdict became known, laughed at the prosecutor
and thought il funny that he didn't laugh in return.
Judging by the outcome of several recent trials
in which women we're charged with killing men,
1t seems to be impossible TO convict woman of
murder. western newspaper has suggested
change in the law that il shall not apply to
women, but adds that the law is kept as il is mere
ly as a matter of form.
The acquittal of Mrs. Patterson calls attention to
the large number of killings in this country most
of which go 'unpunshed. The record is a fearful
one.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

this correspondent, it is where he
says:
Nov suppose the Park Commission
should pass up the opportunity, which
is really a municipal one, should the
project necessarily be abandoned?
Not at all, if new Wilmington mis-
takes not ITSELF
There is going to be a new VIII
mington and those who pass up the
citys opportunities will be discred-
tied The man who. will have stand
ing IN this new era will be he who
does things for his town. The big
man will be he who can discover and
have exploited the mJst advantages
and when they are discovered and
shown the people will pay the bills
because the improvements will pro-
Cuce better and happier conditions
for all and more than pay as they go.
/ The correspondent Of the morning pa
per has made an excellent suggestion
and it should not be passed up. The
advantage of that possible landing
within a block Of the Pennsylvania

a demand for brass. for in little
while Goodrich was making three on
four hundred clocks a week. Even then
he could not keep up with the demand.

solely for the purpose of furnishina

ally the industry extended through the

this valley is the greatest brass man

EDITORIAL OPINION

impels us to appeal to get right and
stay right on the subject of war Even
in this new century there are wars
and rumors of war 1t ought not to be
so under the light we now have. We
know many of these struggles are
fights for freedom and seem to be un-
avoidablo. They are patterning after
us. the best government that has ever
been created. But while this goes on,
let US educate the children to refrain
Let us read over the utterances Of
Cardinal Gibbons in Baltimore recent
ly to James Creelman who sought the
prelate's opinion on this ever-recur-
ring question. After reviewing the loss
Of homes and the loss Of life and the
breaking down of health and morals
consequent upon warfare, Cardinal
Gibbons said.
"The financial side Of war; too, has
its strong aspect. It is proper that the
world az large should have something
to say about quarrels between particu-
lar nations. The commerce Of nations
is now so involved and related that
war between two nations is an inter-
ference with all nations. For instance,
! have 100000 invested in German Sc
curities. Germany goes TO war, and |
must suffer, although l am an Ameri-
can citizen. international efforts to
prevent war rest upon equitable as
we'll as humanitarian rights. The re-
suit Of war is not only loss of life,
but also a partial paralysis Of trade.
Men will not fight if they have time
to grow cool. Nations will not fight If
they have time to think. The penalties
and degradations Of war are too great,
the agonies of the weak and helpless,
the aged and other non-combatants
are too horrible, the waste of wealth
the destruction Of industry and COM
merce are too vast, to be endured
when there is way to peace"
Yes, and there is a way to peace
Let us diligently seek that way. Let
us seek also to cut away the enormous
extravagances Of maintaining giant
fleets Of men Of war and great arsen-
ais and standing armies.

ing He wondered if some material
could not be found, almost as cheap as
wood, which would be serviceable for
the parts of a clock and would not be
