The March number of the Review of Reviews opens with a criticism some eighteen or twenty pages of it Of the administration of President Taft It begins with the call for the extraordinary session of the Sixty-f first congress. and throughout abounds with misrepresentation of facts which may be supposed to have passed from the public mind in the more than year and a half that has elapsed, or con corning which the average reader of the newspapers always has had rather hazy notion.
 Notwithstanding the president called the extra session for the express pur- pose of revising the tariff, he is rep resented by Dr. Shaw as having been apathetic throughout the session re- garding the tariff, and especially re- Those of us who have an average memory and who followed the pro- eeedings of that session know that the facts were quite the contrary.
 The reader of the Review Of Re views feels during his perusal Of the criticism that it is leading to something; that the writer is taking him around Robin Hoods barn to show him something; that the heart of Dr. Shaw is not in the preliminary. The climactsric purpose begins to un- fold in the discussion of the reciproc- ity treaty, with whose general object the Review of Reviews is in perfect accord; has been so for years. but
 There was really no hurry about it The president erred irr tanning it through the house and trying to jam it through the senate. and, fail ing to do so. in calling an extra ses- sion Of the Sixty second congress.

Is it possible that such an outrageous administration shall be continued in power?
 The other half of the nub. the other half Of the administration unworthi- ness was the amendment tO the post office appropriation bill for increasing the rate on the advertising pages of the big magazines. This amendment is loosely designated by the Review of Reviews as a rider" The infamy Of the administration was now fully disclosed in twenty pages. when it could have been done as effectually in half a page.
 In the preliminary consideration of the reciprocity treaty. pr. Shaw dis plays unfairness in an evident pur- pose to prejudice the minds of unin- formed readers against the treaty. He accepts as a mystery what Senator Cummins and other insurgent leaders had professed to regard as mystery the failure of our government to provide for the free exchange of packing house products while it was providing for the free exchange of cattle
 The editor of the Review of Re views can not fail to have learned that the tariff on packing house .products was maintained at the instance of the Canadian commissioners. He also must know that the only benefit that could have resulted from the removal of the tariff on those products would have accrued to the hated beef trust.
