BR,cKBATs OR BOUQUETS?

President Taft has been in office
long enough for the people to form
some idea as to the character and
policies of Theodore ROOSEVELT
heavyweight successor. At the be-
ginning of his term he was sharply
criticised on the ground that his ear
was too handy for the Interests
and that, despite his appearance of
strength, he had weak backbone.
This last thrust has been discred-
tied. During the recent session of
congress the president on more than
one occasion asserted himself and in
such a way that there was no doubt
as to his standing.
And yet he is million miles from
being. as popular as Roosevelt, who
became an idol of the people because
he would take firm stand, as Taft
did at the extraordinary session.
The cause of this is found in many
Taft's tariff stand hasn't made a
hit with the people.
He urged a reduction of the tariff,
was elected on a platform which the
people believed meant downward re-
vision, and then he signed a tariff
bill which contained a wooden sched-
ule which the president himself con-
demned as being too high.
Then when La Toilette and his
lower schedule came along, Taft
promptly vetoed it, on the theory
that the information at hand was in
complete; in other words, that con-
gyess didn't know what it was do
ing, and that the tariff commission

His attitude regarding Richard A.
Ballinger may have been right, but
it was unpopular
And so it goes. ~
