Why Taft Fails.

Nearly every other CIVILIZED
nation in the world is getting a.
long faster than the United States
IN this struggle to move with
Great Britain, the most demo.
cratic and therefore IN certain
ways the most wieldy of these
nations, is actually changing not
oily her outward form of govern.
ment but even her economic bal
anoe in the desperate struggle to
catch up witt the new facts. Our
own nation with its immense cen.
tralized vested interests holding
on to property rights" and re-
sisting all change, is one of puz'
cling and dangerous cases of ar
rested development in the world.
In the light of these facts We
are frankly sorry that Taft is a.
gain candidate. Even If he can
be reelected he cannot possibly
stop this worldwide forward
movement toward democracy.
He personally cannot even delay
it much. He can, in fact, do
little more than get run over
There have been many times in
the worlds history when Tafts
we're needed. There will be times
again. But a Taft to-day 10 a
danger.spot. He calls to mind,
to indulge in another met
sphor, a stout-hearted and
muscular volunteer on q boat in
the rapids, devoting himself to
the task of beading upstream
while his craft sweeps blindly on
among the rocks.
We need steersmen to-day, not
r%esisters. We need men who look
forward, not back. The men
of to-doy are the very Wilson's
and LsFolletts who, to Taft's
mind, mean only disaster. There
is nothing local about these mod
ern types; they are springing up
the world around. Even LaFol-
lette is a very mild reformer in
deed beside the British Lloyd

and judges and "leaders." And

men in knee. breaches, but of the
living. struggling, hoping human

acy to defraud the Urited States Ex-
press Company. waived examination
before Justice Rathbone yesterday
afternoon and gave bond in penalty
Of $500 for his appearance to answer
Indictment before the next session of
