CALM COURSE OF TAFT
OiGNIFiED ATTITUDE OF PRESI-
DENT WINS HIM FRIENDS.
People Are Laughing at Frenzied Fol-
lies Of Roosevelt and View With
Compiacency the Contortions
Of Wilson.

IN recent interview President
Taft marked out for himself calm
course in the pending campaign.
Maintaining the manly attitude that
was SO much to his credit in the nom
ination. he declares that the outcome
as respects himself and his personal
fortune is nothing to him. But those
who see in this statement the slight
est acQuiescence in either the Roose-
welt or Wilson claims do not know the
grim determination of the president
Those who saw him in the heat OF the
conflict and those who know him inti-
mately, are assured that the strongest
and most indomitable fighter of them
all is the man who discusses with a
laugh the frenzied follies of Roosevelt.
contortions by which Wilson is seek
ing to worm himself into popular Ia
vor The president practices none OF
the mere tricks OF the candidates
trade. He does not propagate fiaring
headlines in the White House gardens,
nor does he utilize the poker plays OF
his Bull Moose opponent in the con-
test for position. Roosevelt has an
nounced his intention Of running
recklessly and with riot over the cam
paign field. his determination is to try
to have the others trail after him
to put them on the defensive Is the
way he expresses 1t. President Taft
will have little to do with the wordy
output OF the former president But
when the latter has spun the yarn OF
canard and contumacy to its length,
the president will step forward with
the shears Of fact and snip the tangled
thread OF lies and SANDER. This he
did in the case of the Lorimer libels
and other criminal allegations Of the
man who set aside all truth In the
passion of his venom.
That President Taft has plenty OF
language suited to express his ideas In
vigorous form is attested by his
speech OF acceptance, in which with
dignity he nailed the fustian OF his
former but now recreant friend. He
laid bare the detestable misleading
motives, the pretentions and untrue
declarations, the hollow promises Of
Roosevelt. This he did for the honor
of the party-assailed by the one who
also assailed the Republican leaders
who were the brains of his admins
tration.
While the president will not be
called on to stump the country he will
have along the firing line men as capa-
BILE to defend the Republican princi-
pie and national honor as ever stepped
forth into the arena and these men,
with sound sense, will appeal to fact
They will uncover casuistry, will beat
back Roosevelt and keep Wilson in
his limited corner The truth is
mighty and 1t must prevail. and the
truth OF record that is remarkable
IN its virility and remarkable In its
achievements will stand fast In the
analysis of the political situations.

Roosevelt Talked: Taft Acted,

Such is the first credit count In Mr.
Wickershams comparison Of the Taft
and Roosevelt administrations And
the claim is truthful
In enforcing the laws Mr.. Taft has
not spared men who had been his per
sonal friends. as Mr.. Roosevelt did in
the case Of Paul Morton of the sugar
trust, and of the harvester trust
Among the eighty men indicted in
connection with the so-called wire

Taft. Mr.. Taft well knew that when
he directed the prosecution of Dan r.
Hanna and other influential men OF
Cleveland that 1t would make trouble
for him in politics in his own state
as 1t did. But Mr.. Taft went ahead.
Mr.. Roosevelt prosecuted the Chi

signs of personal hatred. Mr.. Roose.

PRESIDENT AND THE TARIFF
Iafts Attitude on This Question Has
Been Most Atrociously Mis-
represented.

no more atrocious use of lies has
oeen set forth than those relating to
the Presidents attitude upon the tar
IN. He knew and he said the Payne
Aidrich bill was far short of perfect

forded the revenue the Dingley bill did
not produce. He knew and pointed out
tnat the passage of that bill would
save the country from issuing bonds

mad TO meet in similar manner when
the Democrats had laid the country's
industries PROSTATE under their in
Famous tariff tinkering, and the appre-
hensions that their divided and III
Judged courses brought on. There is
no new history in the Payne Aldrich
matter. The one fact of everlasting
credit that will shine out for the bene-
nj OF President Taft is that he pointed
the way for a downward revision Of
the tariff, and he pointed the way for
scientific reconstruction of the tariff
IN the interests of every man, woman
and child, without regard to station or
wealth. He forced the Republican
policy when some of It's ablest leaders
contended there was nothing of suAl
committal in the Republican platform.
He made party history, as we'll as ma
tional history, and all the snarling
hcanines who trail at his heels cannot
detract from this worthy service. His
course in yetoing the hastily consid-
cred and purely partisan and thor
ouShly vicious Democratic measures,
prepared to bait him on. will be re-
garded by historians as a marvellous
exhibition of courage. conviction and
sound discernment OF true financial
and business needs. He can we'll say,

Usual Incompetence.

The Democratic party has nominal
ed for president a wabbling academic
agitator who is for any and every Up
lift idiocy that promises him hand
full of votes. So the peace fanatics
of the house are again on top and
pluming themselves on the "magniti-
cent example OF cessation OF arma-
ments" that we are going to give.
A strong navy, at least as strong as
it is now and growing with the ma
tons growth, is our best assurance
against war and that peace will con-
tinue
Neglect of the navy is particularly
dangerous now that England and Ger
many have openly engaged In a naval
race whose probable end is world
wide war.
With It's usual incompetence the
Democratic party seizes this moment
to persist in tearing down the navy.
