STIMSON FOR TAET-

The acquisition of Secretary Of War
Stimson to the Taft column is a not
able incident in the present cam
paign. Mr.. Stimson was RoOseyelt's
candidate for governor in New York
two years ago. StimsOn was nOmin-
ated through the popularity of the
colonel Naturally StmsOn has rea-
son to feel under deep obligation TO
regards the colonel very highly,
When Stmson entered the Taft cab-
net he did so with distinct under
standing between himself and Taft
that he would be in no way bound to
take part in the presidents campaign
for denomination. SO his voluntary
pledge of support to the president,
as the greatest progressive of them
all, is significant
Secretary Stimson entered public
life under the inspiration of Theodore
Roosevelt But he believes those who
are forcing Roosevelt, against his
original intention, into the arena
against Taft, are jeopardizing instead
of helping real progress. He believes
that President Taft has faithfully car
ried out the republican platform
pledges. He believes Taft has been
falsely villified and abused. And he
cannot follow Col. Roosevelt in his

ROOSEVELT is EXPLAINING.

Col. Roosevelts latest statement,
explaining why he entered the race
for a third term after he had said he
would never accept another nOmina.
ton, is even more disappointing to
may of his former admirers than was
his letter to the seven governors
launching his candidacy. The new
statement seems too full of the belief
on the colOnel's part that he is the
only man in the country able to cred
itably fill the job of president
His reason for entering the race,
the oyster Bay dispatch reads, was
that men sharing his political beliefs
Convinced him they needed an effec-
tive leader 1t rather goes against
the grain Of Americans to have any
man come out in so many words and
tell us that he is convinced that he
is the only effective leader. Some
how it doesn't seem quite as modest
as We might desire a great political
leader to be.
"COl. Roosevelt expressed the opin-
ion that on a popular vote he would
be the choice of his party by a big
majority" the dispatch continues. He
may be right about it and he may be
wrong, But right or wrong, the Amer
lean people don't like to have any
man, big or little, arise and tell them
how popular he is. It's too much like
Roasting and boasting is not a trait
that the American people, as a rule,
are ready to applaud.
"COl Roosevelt said he supposed a
great many people would not believe
it, but that he had not wished to en-
ter the race" the dispatch goes on.
And that Paragraph will cause a smile
to spread over the continent. He sup
poses a great many people will not
believe 1t, and his suppositiou ia cor
rect. 4 great many people MiIl rot
believe it, The circumstantial evi-
dence will make it impossible for
them to believe the sincerity of that
remark, Col. Roosevelt himself laid
the foundation for public distrust in
his utterances when he violated the
pledge that he never would run again.
SO he can't blame the public if he is
disbGlieved now in his effort to eX-

Col. Roosevelt is on the defensive
Instantaneous position for amy
political candidate. Day after day he
is busy issuing new statements ex-
planning why he is doing what he
said he wouldn't do. He rehashes a
good deal of the same story over
again but new developments constant
ly demand new explanations,
First the colonel told us he would
not accept another nomination. Now
he explains that what he meant was
that he would not accept another
consecutive" nomination.
Then the colonel wrote letters to
dozens of people saying he would
not be a candidate in 1912" Now he
explains that it is perfectly true"
that he did write such letters, but
utterly false" that he ever said he
would not be the nominee in 1912.

THE VOTE ON ARBITRATION

THE VOTE ON ARBITRATION,
ON March 5th, the United states
senate has agreed to vote on the raft
ncation of the arbitration treaties.
There is every indication that the
senate will approve them. 1t is prob
able that as soon as these treaties
with ENGLAND and France are ratified
that Germany and the other great for
eign powers will come across and join
in an agreement for arbitration of all
international disputes. If this proves
true to history it will be one Of the
chief glories of the Taft adminisJra-
ton that such n magnificent and long
stride has been taken in limiting the
ornaments and in establishing the
eventual peace of the entire world.
The Norfolk weekly news-journal., 1912-03-08


One of Col. Roosevelt's statements
serves particularly to emphasize the
type of administration that President
Taft is giving us. The colonel de-
clarcs that any president, by using
the federal patronage, can rcrominH''
himself. And it brings home the fact
hat Taft is the first president who
ever had the courage to set in molten
a plan to rob the white house of pO-
litical patronage by placing the entire
government, from heads of depart
ments down, on a civil service basis.
No man ever used federal patron
age to perpetuate himself of his can
didate in the white house, more
shrewdly that Col. Roosevelt He first
renominated himself and four years
later he renomniated his secretary of
war, w. II. Taft
And it remained for Taft to recon-
mend putting the government work
entirely on a civil service basis. as
