Feeling the Public Pulse.

The Chicago Tribune has adopted
the plan of sending a special represen-
tative into every community where
President Taft has spoken to write
up" a daily summary of impressions
obtained by feeling the pulse OF the
people as to their attitude toward Mr..
Taft
This representative writes from Pc
oria that he finds almost as much in
surgency rs one might expect to dis
cover in a Wisconsin community.
And why not?
Illinois is just as wide-awake as
Wisconsin and more so.
Illinois voters have formed opinions
about the Ballinger case.
They have ideas about this dismissal
Of Clifford Pinchot
They know something about the
ante-election promises Of Candidate
Taft of downward revision of the tar
If
They know that such promises got
him votes. They know that after cleo
ton he approved the infamous Aid
rich-Payne tariff bill. It became Law
and revised the tariff upward instead
of downward as he had promised
They know something of his vetoes
Of democratic measures passed by
congress to relieve the oppressive bur
dens of the Aldrich-Payne law which
Taft has approved and defended.
They know he vetoed those bills for
political reasons.
They know his excuse that he wants
a tariff commission TO dictate tariff
legislation is an absurd subterfuge.
And il is little wonder that there is
as much insurgency in Illinois as in
Wisconsin.
