AN ABSURD SUGGESTION.

We observe that some of the news
papers are saying highly complimenta-
ry things about President Taft, now
that he has been defeated. and from
over in Athens comes the suggestion
from prominent Georgian that Presi-
dent Wilson appoint Taft to the first
vacancy on the Supreme Court bench.
That sort of thing speaks volumes for
the generous feelings of those who in
dulge in it but it is tiresome when the
facts are considered.
Taft is genial man with good deal
of hot air about him and until his own
interests are involved is popular and
companionable. But when the Taft
bread and butter is at stake Taft looks
after Number One
When Taft was Governor of the Phil
ippines he mtsrepresented conditions
there because to have done otherwise
would have reflected on his own admin
istration When he became presi-
dent he aligned himself with the worst
wing of the Republican party. He has
steadfastIy acted as the tool of the cor
porations. 1t is charged that he helped
to pack the Supreme Court in their in
terest.
There is a court in Washington called
the Court Of Commerce 1t is court
to which appeals are carried from the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
This court has steadily nullified the
work of the Interstate Commerce
Commission in the interest of the rail
roads. One Of its judges is to be tried
at the approaching session of Congress
on impeachment proceedings. The
Democratic House and the Republican
Senate united and passed bill to aboI-
ish this scandaions court Taft vetoed
it.
Taft's nomination at Chicago was
bought for him, partly with money and
partly with offices. His first nomina-
ton was made the matter of bargain
and sale. Practically every office in
Georgia was traded off by Hitchcock
for Taft.
Taft is not the type of man for either
the Presidency or the Supreme Court.
He may be an able Judge That does
Dot matter. There are able judges who
are honest and sincere. man who as
President has been the tool of corpora
tions would be their tool just the same
if he We're on the Supreme Court.
Aside frow the proper management
OF the government the greatest benefit
that can flow from the Wilson admins
tration will be in swinging the public
mind back to correct idea of the pur-
Jose Of our government, which is the
exalting of the individual citizen, with
justice and equality and a fair chance
for all our people, and that is some
tbing with which Taft has little sympa-
thy. There are men of worse type
but we do not think one has occupied
the Presidential chair since the war.

Thanks. And If you ever want to
run this road for a couple Of weeks,
just let me know"
Marjorie nodded appreciatively and
said II will. You're very kind"
And that completed the rout of that
conductor. He retired in disorder,
leaving Marjorie to fondle Snoozle-
ums with a neglectful indifference that
would have greatly fiattered Mallory,
if he could have seen through the
partition that divided them.
But he was witnessing with the
cynical superiority of an aged and
disillusioned man the, to him, childish
behavior of Ira Lathrop, an eleventh
hour Orlando.
For just as Mallory moped into the
smoking-room at one door. Ira Lath-
rop swept in at the other, his face
rubicund with embarrassment and
ecstasy. He had donned an old frock
coat with creases like ruts from long
exile in his trunk. But he was feel
ing like an heir apparent; and he
startled everybody by his jovial hail:
"WelI, boys-er-gentlemen - the
drinks are on me. Waiter, take the
orders"
Little Jimmie woke with a start,
rose hastily to his feet and saluted,
saying: Present! Who said take the
orders?"
Il did," said Lathrop, I'm giving a
party. Waiter, take the orders"
"Sarsaparilla," said Dr. Temple, but
they howled him down and ordered
other things. The porter shook his
head sadly: "Nothin' but sof' drinks
in Utah, gemmen."
A groan went up from the club
members, and Lathrop groaned loud
est OF all:
well, we've got to drink something.
Take the orders. Wen all have sarsa-
parilla."
Little Jimmie Wellington came to
the rescue.
Don't do anything desperate, gen.
tlemen," he said, with look Of d.
vine philanthropy. The bars closed,
but Little Jimmie Wellington is here
with the life preserver." From his
hip-pocket he produced a silver flask
that looked to be big enough to carry
a regiment through the Alps. 1t was
greeted with a salvo, and Lathrop
said to Jimmie: 81 apologize for
everything have said-and thought
about you" He turned to the porter:
There amt any law against giving
this way, is there?''
The porter grinned: mot If you-all

held out a glass for the bride, MUIR

The observation room was as lone
ly as a deserted battlefield and Mar
jorie as doleful as a wounded sol
der left behind, and perishing of
thirst, when the conductor came back
with Snoozleums in his arms.
He regarded with contemptuous
awe the petty cause OF so great an
event as the stopping of the Trans
American, He expected to see Mar
jorie receive the returned prodigai
with wild rapture, but she didn't even
smile when he said:
Here's your powder-puff."
She just took Snoozleums on her
lap, and. looking up with wet eyes
and a sad smile, murmured:
THANK you very much. You're the
incest conductor | ever met. If you
ever want another position, I'll see
that my father gets you one"
1t was like offering the kaiser a
new Job. but the conductor swallowed
the insult and sought to repay it with
irony.
