TAFT INSULTS THE PEOPLE

TAFT INSULTS THE PEOPLE
No recent antics of the tory
journals in their defence of Taft's
many follies have been more aO-
surd than their repeated at
tempts to doctor up his speech
on popular government, delivered
at the banquet of the State Bar
Association in New York City,
January goth. There have been
two revisions, both of them ut
terly Intellectual even to cloud,
far less hide, Taft's contemptuous
statement that the people are un-
fit for self-government.
Here is what such Trust or
gans as the NeO York San and
Times declare he said land their
statements agree with that OF
the Associated Press despatch
takenstenographically at the time
and wired all over the country
viz:
"If we are the landmarks of justice,
il the profession carries US to the study
of the fundamentals OF government 1t
falls upon Us to defend the institu-
tions Of civil liberty in free govern
ment when they are in danger. Pop
ular government We sll believe in.
There are those of as a0ho do not betiere
that all people are fitted for popular gOU-
ernment. In fact they are not. Some
of us don't dare say so, b'd I do."-MY
Sun.
Jan. 10th.
But not only do Taft's own
papers agree that he thus as
persed the very people who put
him in the Office he uses so un-
worthily, but the context proves
IL past all queSClOn.
Taft was discussing those ques
tions of popular government,
that are on everybody tongue,
the Initiative, the Referendum
afsGa afsGa The Recall When he said
"There are those of US who do
not believe that all people are
fitted for popular government.
The fact is we know they are not.
Some of US. do not dare sag so, but
IdO". Is anyt tody silly enough
to think Taft meant that the law
yers, politicians, ETC., dare not
say" that the barbarous Phil
pinos, or the savages in Darkest
Africa, were "not fitted for self
government!
The second revision Of "all
people" into ''all peoples, might
have raised adoubt but that Taft
was speaking of uncivilized peo-
Piles csnfessedly unfit fer self
government; but the other words.
which all admit he also spoke,
viz, that "some of US do not dare
sag so, but I do, forbids this
quibble, and pillories Mr.. Taft
before the American people as
insultingly questioning the very
doctrine that has immortalised
Lincoln, and which endears him
TO Americans forever-their fit
ness to govern themselves;
"Why should there not be a pa
tient confidence in the ultimate
justice of the people? Is there
any better or equal hope in the
world?"
But if Mr.. Taft in his revolu-
tionary views is deprived of the
support of the great Lincoln, he
finds his vindication in these
noble words of that great and
good patriot statesman, Boies
Penrose:
eff the 10000, 900 people Of this country
we're to be called together, do not be-
lieve they would be any better able to
frame a constitution than woul1 the in
habitants of the Philippine Islands"

Sherman Believes He
Can Better His Score

PHILADELPHIA, March $.-Frank
H. Sherman, of Washington, who is
participating in the national pocket bill
lizard tournament now in progress, be-
lieVes that he can better the game he
shot yesterday against Edward Ralph,
of Highstown, n. j., who proved VIC
tor by $50 to 1873.
This match is the fourth is a series
of twenty-eight being contested to de-
eide the pocket billiard championship.
Early in the match, when Sherman
was making a difficult shot. one OF the
spectators fell from the gallery
through to the floor. This unnerved the
Washingtonian, and after that it was
hard for him to settle down to accu-
rate shots.
