PRESIDENT TAFT
 GOES TOCOLUMBUS Demented Woman Claims to
 Be His Wife SHE IS ARRESTED
The Chief Executive Is Central Fig ure of Celebration--Reiterates Views on the Situation
 in Nicaragua

Columbus, O., August 29.-Presideni Taft came to Columbus today to helI the city celebrate the centenary of It's birth as the capital of Ohio. For 1s hours the President was the busy cen tral figure of all the ceremonies that his friends and the celebration commit tee could devise. He breakfasted with a governor mayor and a congressman lunched with a commission and dined with bar association. He made speeches to farmers of his home state from a stand on the state fair grounds and to the lawyers at a s10 a plate ban quet tonight he shook hands with a few thousand persons at the fair grounds and in the veranda of the state capitol and kissed few babies.
 It was a day typical of the travel scenes of the President and apparently he enjoyed every minute. The setting was complete even up to the case of a demented woman who tried to see him at his hotel, who was arrested by the police and declared that she was the wife of the President.
 Leaving Columbus early tomorrow, the President is due back in Beverly Saturday to take up his summer vaca- tion.
 During the day the President received a message from Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood chief of staff '. s. A., who Is ih Washington, conveying the information that his order to send the Tenth in- fantry to Nicaragua from Panama should be cancelled as directed. He again expressed the belief that marines republic will be able to protect Ameri- cans

Troubles of Profession

"One of the troubles about our profess sion under the present move toward the reform of everything by changing every thing Is that we are trained. when man says he Is going to do something and go- ing to accomplish some reform, social political or otherwise to ask the question how are you going to do it?' and then to query what kind of statute you are going to draw or what kind of amend ment to the constitution you are going to introduce in order to effect this pur- rose and those questions are impertinent very impudent. They intimidate a skep- ticism as to whether what is proposed can be done. Well, I agree we are obstruc- tionists in that sense. We represent the practical in government. We know it is very different thing in stating that you would like to accomplish a purpose and sitting down and drafting a statute which Nis to accomplish it, or to work out the details Then we also know that there gre certain limitations in the constitution that are essential to the maintenance of our government.
 'sThe constitution l cannot speak of except in such terms of veneraton and respect as to make me feel myself almost too much of a devotee to deal either gently or chartabfy with the efforts to take away it's limitations"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-08-30
Introduced by Harmon

At the bar dinner the President was introduced by Governor Harmon. The President said in part:
 We are in a transition period I hope. transition from something that is good to something that Is better. and we are going into the valley of fear and humilia- ton for our institutions brought about by denunciation that is unjust, but that seems at times to claim the support of many of the people. The bench and the bar are on trial in this country. The reasons given do not commend them selves to me. l don't believe they com mend themselves to you.
 T think you and l could point out some defects that have not yet been made the basis for attack upon them which would be much more just than the charges that are now made. It is said that we do not keep abreast of the times that we are not progressive enough, that we don't move toward social justice. and tfat we are constantly introducing limi- tations from the constitution that pre- vent progress in the development of hu- manity, that we are old fogy. Well, l don't think that charge is just.
 Tt is not true that courts as a general rule have set their faces against prog ress of the kind that is now being made under tendency to paternalism that we are welcoming today. If the charge had been made that there was too mucn ue- lay in the rendition of justice. and too much expense involved in that delay, cannot say but that there would be con- siderable justice in that regard. But the trouble about such defect and the rem ody of such a defect Is that 1t does not strike the imagination of people. 1t is rot useful for political purposes, there fore we don't hear much about it. be- cause it takes hard work and application to details work ont remedy. and if takes time to do 1t, and it does not suit political platforms and political orators as a means Of foisting themselves Into office

at rest all rumors that the proposed

is no question now as to its construc-

people before another u months have
been written into history it win be a

Immediately following the crganila-

will then assume definite shape. and

men behind the affai7 are men OF de

The line means much TO the city

further, 1t means a better and cheaper

CAR SHORTAGE.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion believes that the talk OF car
shortage is not well founded that it
is not shortage of cars that hampers
the railroads so much as lack Of
proper car distribution So through
Commissioner Lane tine board makes
some suggestions which the rail
roads will in ali proba5iHy find it con
venient to follow
It was found by Mr. Lane that while
some roads were shor OF equipment
others had a superHuiy In particu
lar one road which Owned SO, goo coal
cars had available on jls own lines
only $500 The others were loaned
in the ordinary course Of business and
the borrowers failure promptly to re
turn them were handicapping industry
along the line of The FIRST road.
Accordingly the commission offers
several methods of meeting the con
dition One is that railroads increase
their demurrage charge-the money
exactcd of other roads for failure to
return cars promptly Another is that
an inspection service he established
to keep the commission informed of
violations of rules intended to secure
a quick return Of borrowed equipment.
These are suggestion, but with the
commission back of them they amount
virtually to orders. II is possible that
a betterment Of conditions win result

THAT EXTRA SESSION.

Since the election Of Governor VIII
son a number OF Democratic papers
have demanded that an extra session
OF Congress eb called at the earliest
possible date, and a revision Of the
tariff be made without delay. The
question is squarely up to the Pres
dent-elect. and. while he has refused
to make any statements as TO his po-
sition, the inference is drawn that he
will take early and direct steps to-
ward carrying out the party's prom
ises
Governor Wilson has said that he
will listen and read about all he can
concerning this important matter, but
will not make decision until ha has
made a careful study of IT, and con
suited the party leaders. He is de-
termined not OF take hasty action. but
follow the plan which will insure con
tinued prosperity and result in the
good of all concerned
This, of course, is the wisest plan.
There is no need to become reckless
or to exercise immature judgment, bat
1t is right to carry into execution the
party lpedges and do what is neces-
sary toward reducing the high cost
of living and give to the people some
thing of a beneficial nature This is
what they demand, and they will be
satisfied with nothing less
A number of the party leaders have
stated over their signatures that an
extrat session is necessary that the
party is honor bound to reduce the
tariff as quickly as possible; that it
must prove to the people it means
to curb the great interests and unless
that is accomplished the victory won
will avail naught.
This perhaps is true, but it does APP
pear there is no need to rush heed
lessly into the matter, make fatal mis-
takes, and be compelled to repent af.
forwards
1t should be remembered that Presi
dent Taft was so eager to tamper with
the tariff that he called an ezra SEES
sion. and it proved his undoing He
made the mistake of his life and the
result was that his administration has
been repudiated.
The World believes that every par
ty pledge should be fulfilled; that
every promise should be carried out in
its entirety but it does not want the
party to take any unwise steps That
isn't necessary. If it Is the opinion
of the party leaders that an extra SIS
sion should be called, let it be done.
but let wisdom and mature Judgment
prevail. Let the party profit by the
mistake of President Taft Undue
haste might result in defeat two yeals
hence and in a greater one in 1915.
