rAFT,s WESTERN SPEECHES.

1t is said that Champ Clark thinks
that President Taft is not doing him
eelf or his party any good by his
speeches on his Western tour. that his
playing on the prosecution string has
thrown business into panicky
state and that the Presidents re-
peated promises or threats of run
ming the corporations down have
caused them to wait to see exactly
what will be done Win them before
they attempt to go on with their work
THE business part of the country
says the fredericksburg Free Lance.
will breathe easier when Mr. Taf,
Rtops talking for political effect in
the West"
There is good deal of truth in all
that; but let US be fair about it. Is
this not the Very sort Of thing many
Of us have been clamoring for all
these years? Have we not been saying
that radical measures must be en-
ployed to break the strange hold Of
the corporations? Have we not de
clared in election years and between
election years that the corporations
must be prosecuted with or without
regard to the effect such prosecution
might have on the general business of
the country? II is true that Mr. Taft
is President. and that he has by his
preachments caused serious alarm
throughout the country, but If we have
been altogether sincere in our own
demands for agitation and radical
measures, we should not be greatly
disturbed by the uncertainties of the
present business situation. Is 1t any
wonder that after hfteen years of the
same sort OF work business should be
feeling little disturbed?
What the country needs more than
anything else is period of rest. and
We thought that after seven years of
Roosevelt we should have four years
of Taft when the country could pull
Itself together and settle down to bust
ness. Mr.. Taft has not greatly PRO
noted this desirable condition bv his
speeches and there was never better
time for the Democrats to prove their
fitness for large things by the nomi-
nation OF conservative candidates for
President and Vice President on con
servative platform. Radicalism has
had its day.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatc /;
Sir,--In your editorial La Toilette
and Ingersoll." which appeared Tues
day. October 10, YOU argue that be-
cause Senator La Toilette is an ad-
mirer of Ingersoll he IS, therefore.
unfit for the Office of President.
hereby protest against such SUI
perstltious view as that. No properly
educated person of to-day believes In
the inspiration of the Bible. You must
know, even though YOU are an editor
Of paper, that the triumph of the
theory OF evolution has demolished
utterly the kind OF religion that the
church stands for to-day. Intelligent
people everywhere hold about the same
views that the great agrostic Ingersoll
proclaimed. To say that you believe
in the Bible now as the word OF God
is to advertise yourself either as an
ignoramus or pious hypocrite.
La Toilette shows that he possesses
gray matter by being an admirer Of
Ingersoll. What do you think Of
Thomas Jefferson. the greatest OF All
Nirginians, and an .nhdel? Was he
unfit for the presidency because he
denied a childish religion You. like
the majority of newspapers, seem to
dread nothing so much as q thinker
Yet the thinkers are the greatest men
on this planet. God must love them
otherwise he would not have made so
few of them.
