NOT NINILAR.

"Tha Columbia -. c. state fully
agrees with us that the aid given in
Congress by the opposition. party in
securing the approval Of the Presidents
reciprocity compact with Canada was
not without precedent. We cited the
case of the repeal in 1898 Of the pur'
chasing clauses of the Sherman silver
act. when large majority of the Repub-
leans in the two houses cordially sup
ported the Cleveland administration and
made il possible to call halt on silver
imitation. our South Carolina contem-
pcrary turns this parallel TO 4 strange
use however. when it says:
The Tribune is right If Mr.. TAFT
shall be renOminated, though, by the
Republicans. the case will depart from
the Cleveland precedent. The Demo

Cleveland in 1896. but nominated can,
didate i'm sharpest contrast TO nm ana
what he stood for. To recall that bit
of history will scarcely deepen the sum-
mor time serenity Of the TAFT smile.
There is not the slightest similarity
between the political conditions existing
i'm 1895 and those existing now, so far as
the denomination of the President is CON
corned. Nobody had the faintcst idea in
1895 that Mr., cleveland would be re
nominated thc year following. IT was
only n question which anti-Cleveland
candidate would be- chosen by the Demo
cratic convention. But to-day President
Taft's denomination is conceded. All
the insurgent states have fallen into
line. except possibly Wisconsin. There
is no other sensible course open 10 the
Republican party than 10 renominate an
Executive OH whose achievements and
polcies il must stand or fall at the next
election. Probably even Mr.. La Fol-
lctte realizes this. The next Republican
national convention will be a ratification

be- said for the immediate results.
There loom large III the not distant
future, however. two other considera-
tions Of great Importance. One of them
is the question of that rational reform
of the House Of Lords which nearly all
men regard as desirable and indeed
necessary. There is some danger that
this radical restriction of the powers of
that house will delay such reform by
making it seem far less urgent. Such
result would be regrettable. The other
is the question Of Home Rule. At the
present moment the outlook is that that
measure will he enacted in the next two
years. and before the present Parlia-
mont expires by statutory limitations
there will he established another and
semi-independent Parliament at Dublin.

yHg RESULT ~ THE LORDS.

There can he no doubt that the result
Of the contest and the voting in The
british House of Lords upon the anti
veto bill was i'm accord with national
dignity and with Unionist party policy.

its measure through the deliberate ab-
siantion from voting Of that ma iority Of

pose would have been Il farce tragedy

GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
sir. The remarks of VIII y. Gould in

arvwIse suggest really essential needs
10 GAYS. I'm order to have literally a
government of the people, by the people
and for the people the government must
be such that the people can, by primary
elections. make known their wants, etc.
Some Americans who are fairly awake
to the dangers which history shows at
tond dlminutions Of personally response
bic authority i'm public affairs do not favor
commission government They know that
all such doings tend TO eliminate actual
political leadership. and that this is tanta-
mount 10 eliminating men who know. and
to putting all legislative proposals into
the hands of people who do not and never
ran know. because they are not students
of politlcal economy. Some such Ameri-
cans believe that the obvious msrule and
interminable grinding out of statutes are
due to the fact that Americans do not
know what they should have as rulers of
themselves or of any one else. Probity
and other moraities are to-day inatten-
lively regarded. Every opportunity in
life is valued according to it's ratio of
material gain Most parents relax all the
moral restraints which should surround
their children and evidently assume that
if children grow up safe from sheer crime
they are doing pretty generally well
enough.
That they do not know what is best is
terrifyingly pointed out by the presence OF
G. 900 goo aliens in this country who con-
stitute q menace TO our body polite anS

TAFT BACK AT BEVERLY
President Returns to Summer
Home for Third Week End.

Beverly. Mass. Aug. IA quiet gray
sky that at times dribbled rain greeted
President Taft on the first day Of his third
weekend vacation at Beverly. Most OF the
day the President was in open air, play
ing golf i'm the morning and motoring with
Mrs. Taft late in the AFTERNOON. He found
time to do a little work preparatory TO
writing q few veto messages when he gets
back to Washington, II he finds vetoes are
necessary. but enjoyed all the rest posi-
BILE Tomorrow he expects TO play golf,
and Sunday he probably will take long
ride. He will return to Washington sun
day night.
The President reached Paramatta, the
Taft cottage, shortly after o'clock this
morning, motoring out from Boston in an
hour When he dlighted from his private
car in the South Station, Boston, big
crowd was waiting. As he and Major Butt
entered the car the crowd cheered heartily
