animation that while tho method OF as

The Presidents Journey.

President Taft celebrated his fifty fourth birthday yesterday by start ing on a journey of thirteen thousand miles. MT Taft thrives on travel. Such trip as he has undertaken, involving not only all the fatigue of travel, but the preparation and de- livery of dozens of speeches and the necessity of meeting and shaking hands with the ever present promi- nent citizen, would appall the average man, but our president likes such a job.
 Having made up his mind to be candidate for reelection, MT Taft feels that it is his duty to meet his fellow citizens face to face and give an account, in the good old Ameri- can fashion, of his official steward ship to date, so that they may de eide intelligently whether they want him to stay on the job. He will tell them what he has done, what he has tried to do. and what he proposes to do in the future. The only way in which he can conveniently do all this is to go on a long trip through the country and make some talks. Some of the more captious of our democratic friends will likely raise the objection that MT. Taft is on an electioneering tour at public expense. But the democrats in congress when they voted to provide the travelling expenses of the president, knew that no president makes a talking trip through the country without attempt ing to make some political hay for himself. And all democrats of an obiecting disposition should remem- Der that after next year it may be the privilege of some democrat to travel in state at the expense of the nation-and if providence, for our sins should permit us to have a democratic president, no republican will be found objecting to his eX- pense account for travel. Moreover, our democratic friends will do well to remember that MT Taft, being, like Brutus, a plain brunt man, may say some things on this 15,0O0- mile journey wherefrom they can gather advantage. It seems to us that we have a vague recollection of his say ing some things at Boston and at Winona on his trip of two years ago which did not cause democratic dis comfort
 At any rate, with the exception of the few grumblers, everybody will be glad to know that MT Taft is mak- ing tour of the country and is in cidentaIly having a good time. Most of us have outgrown the notion that a president, in order to earn his sal ary. ought to have in the White House one of these contraptions which register the number of hours a man is at work.

Legislation by the Courts.

Tn his address before his fellow executives at Spring Lake, New Jer- sey. Governor Aldrich discussed a popular and familiar theme, and voiced a prevailing sentiment of the American people, when he stated his objections to Legislation by the courts" IL probably was not his pur- pose to weaken his argument by stating the reasons why the courts in many cases have had to render de- cisions which have led to the crea- ton of this sentiment
 The people understand quite clear lv the fundamental principle writ ten into the federal and state consti- tutions as to the distribution of the functions of government: that our federal and state governments are divided into three independent but coordinate branches-the legislative, the executive, and the judicial de- partments-and they have noted with concern the apparently steady tend ency of the courts to invade the do- main of congress and legislature. So many congressional and legislative acts have been nullified or modified bv court decisions that it has been easy to foster the belief that it is the desire of the courts to usurp the legislative functions.
 And. since judges are human, and the average man likes power, there
