Fortunately for all concerned the
trial OF the Mcnamara brothers has
come to a sudden close by their
confession OF guilt, thus saving
them from the gallows and setting
the country at ease. Few OF our
readers a realize the bitterness
of labor union fight, being in
the country where unions are not
strong. The average union man
will stake his life for his cause,
te.ng as he naturally thinks and
rs Il often Is, a fight for his bread
anl butter. II this case will les
sea the tendency to use violence,
the ryes will not be lost In vain.

President Taft, in his interview
in the Outlook, admits his speech
at Winona, Mimi, which has been
much criticised was hurriedly pre-
pared and not thoroughly consid-
cred. He says:
"Had i known as much then as

that there are some things one

ted. | dictated that speech to a
photographer on the cars between
two stations, and glanced through
ii only enough to straighten \ its
grammar; ii was sent out by the
press with correspondingly little
ceremony, so that the papers re-
ceived 1t in all sorts of shapes.
"If | had prepared it two OF
three weeks before and revised II
deliberately, as / ought to have
done, / should have clarified sew
eral passages. And, particularly,
i should have changed the sem
tence where ] proclaim the Payne
tariff act the best ever passed.
"The comparative would have
been a better description than the
superlative the act still contains
less to be criticised than it's pred
ecessors, and 1t did, as a whole, re-
wise the existing schedules down

President Taft gave out along
authorized interview last week on
his achievements. Most OF it con-
sists of explanations and in some
cases he admits mistakes. As q
whole ii is not a record that he
can be overly proud OF. The one
point that he brings out strongly
and refers to with much satisfac-
ton is the reduction in tariffs on
some articles. While not in posi-
ton to Judge fairly, we believe he
is on the wrong track there, as
business conditions indicate 1t.
