TAFT TO TAKE
LESS ADVICE
President Proposes to Be Ex-
ecutive in Fact.


Said to Have Reached Conclusion That
the Only Mistakes He Has Made
Were Due to His Abandoning His
Personal Views and Yielding to the
Pressure of Solicitation of Others.
Washington, jan president Taft
is quoted as having made an announce
ment to close friends of the following
New Years resolution:
From now on | am going to be
president of the United States"
AS this is repeated there is a strong
emphasis on the personal pronoun
81" 1t is interpreted to mean that
from this time forward President Taft
intends to rely less on the advice OF
his official and personal associates and
to rely primarily, if not altogether, on
his own judgment and intuitions in de.
termining what he is to do in executive
and administrative matters.
The president is said to have
reached this conclusion after taking
stock of the events of the past year
that the only mistakes he has made
have been due to his abandoning his
personal views and yielding to the
pressure of advice and solicitation OF
others.
Thinks Personal Views Popular.
On the other hand he believes that
in the instances where he has adhered
strictly to his own judgment, notably
in the selection of supreme court ap.
pointees, in the insstence upon a
policy of retrenchment and strict
economy in all governmental expendi
lures, he has been singularly success
full and has met with popular approx.
al
Mistakes attributed to the advice o1
others rather than to President Taft's
own ideas are:
The administration position in the
Ballinger-Pinehot controversy.
Making /, fight for the Payne-Aldrich
law "as the best tariff law ever en-
acted"
The Withholding of the patronage oi
the progressive members of congress
coupled with the later announcement
of the reversal of this policy, and the
minor complications connected with
the distribution of patronage in the va

A sledge hammer blow on the door

attempted robbery. The safe door
was blown across the room, crushing
