The decision OF the senate to take up the
reciprocity bill after the Fourth crowns
President Taft's work and sends him to
Beverly, much better pleased than ever be-
fore. II establishes him at last, as a leader
who leads. This event and Secretary Fish
er's rejection Of the Cunningham claims to
the Alaskan coal lands are important news
In great many ways. Fishers act settles
the question that has been agitsting the
country for long time. opens the way to
forward movement to make the coal lands
Of Alaska available 70 its people, and re-
moves the suspicion that these powerful
claimants to this land have too much in
fluence with the government. But the more
interesting. IL not more important phase Of
these events is the sidelight that they
shed upon the attitude and characteristics
OF President Taft. They are significant
revelations OF the about face which the
president has executed since he came to see
the changed view OF the American people.
A massive volume could be written about
this shift OF procedure and companions. II
might be compared with the tremendous
change that took place in the attitude of
MI Gladstone from his youthful conserva-
tism Of oxford tradition TO his later and
practically lifelong liberalism. But this
change came about gradually, while Mr..
Tafts has been almost sudden. Rather II
should be said that the change took place
when Mr.. Taft became president, and that
his more recent shift Of view has been re-
version to his former attitude. Certainly
the President Taft Of today is very like
the Secretary of War Taft that we knew

Omaha daily bee., 1911-07-08

After Mr.. Taft was inaugurated It soon
became evident that his associations and
affiliations were to be with men Of the old
line of politics. This seemed at first likely
to be a popular attitude, as the country
was thought to be tired Of the noise and
fever Of his predecessor, and quiet and
security were needed. That Mr.. Taft felt
this too was plain. He meant to be a
harmony president; but that this harmony
meant taking into confidence the men who
had been most antagonized by President
Roosevelt was hardly expected. Even in
the formation Of bis cabinet. this predilec-
ton toward reactionary interests was
plain. His selection Of former trust at
torney for attorney general former rail-
road corporation attorney for secretary Of
war, and man who was somewhat tied
up in western land deals as secretary Of
the interior, were striking evidences Of a
very large leaning toward the conserva.
tive side Then when the house began to
organize it became evident that the presi-
dent was throwing his influence in behalf
Of Cannon. This irked Mr.. Roosevelt very
much and he was in restless spirit about
the makeup OF the cabinet. The story
will not yet down that the only request
that he made OF Mr.. Taft was that he
would retain Garfield as secretary Of the
interior, and that Garfield was not in
formed that he was to be left out Of the
new cabinet until the nomination of Bal
linger was sent to the senate. Moreover
the representatives Of publicity newspa-
pers and magazines who had thronged the
White House during the days Of Roose-
welt allege that they were politely or
otherwise informed by the presidents sec
rotary that they were not wanted there
and the most Of them resoluteiy stayed

flung open the door, an irritable
protest on his lips. He was just
in time to see the Industrious Miss

The irritable protest changed its
form.

orders generally meant more work
for her.
But there are still nearly a

dress" she protested.
Never mind them," he said
gruffly. You've been working too
hard. You need a rest"
Miss Jones laughed, but with
inward quaking for her boldness.
81 guess you'd better look into
a mirror before you call anybody
down for working too hard" She
opened a drawer of her desk and
held up a hand-mirror for his in

if you lose. Soil a lot of people,"
He looked at her curiously. 81

The blonde head shook vigor-
Iously.
That's ambiguous, Miss

She looked up to discover
whether or not he was laughing
at her; his face was quite serious.
There was no ambiguity in her
emphatic nod. Il was afraid of
