Wise and Prudent.

From the Denver. Colo. Republican
President Taft's administration has
not been one Of talk and parade, OF
sensational assertion and show of au-
thority But 1t has been an admins
tration of hard work in quiet and
transformations ways. He has said
little. But he has done much. The
rising tide of business prosperity tes-
titles to the wisdom and prudence of
his administration, and to the conf
dence which the business world has
in his discretion.

SMITH IS THE RIGHT MAN.

Statesman, Boise: No man in the
state is so well and so favorably known
in Washington. The long experience
OF Mr.. Smith with congressional pro-
ceedings, coupled with his genial dis
position to help his fellow men, has
made him the schoolmaster of more
congressman and senators than per-
haps any other living person. In of
fering himself as a candidate to rep
resent Idaho he gives his state the
advantage of this vast acquaintance
Mr. Smith also served for several
years as secretary of the republican
state central committee, and through
that source he acquired an exception
ally wide circle of friends and ac-
quaintances among the public men of
Idaho. There is probably no other
man in the state so wei qualified for
the position he seeks.

Affairs at the national capital.
Downey Idahoan: Mr.. Smith is a
man of the highest integrity His wide
experience, his true merit and previous
training fit him for the position, and
he Is entitled to consideration and re-

From the Milwaukee. Wis. Wisconsin.
One of the policies OF the Taft ad-

opposition has been the retrench-
ment of unnecessary and extravaganza
expenditures.

than would a man new to the work be

It feels that tho time 10 at hand and

policy on the Issues Of the day. From
now on until November S, therefore,
the journal will contribute Its efforts
to the success Of the principles Of tho
Republican platform and the re-elec-
ton of William Howard Taft to tho
presidency. II Is convinced that only
the continuance Of oresent policies

Where Mr.. Taft Stands.

From the Wausau Record-Herald-
Taft stands exactly where either OF
the great martyr presidents would
have stood had they lived in his day
and occupied his place. He stands for
the constitution, for the courts, for
the perpetuation of the tried and
proved American institutions, for the
principle of protection to American
labor, just laws and their impartial
enforcement against rich and poor
high and low, alike. No president ever
had higher ideals, better comprehen
sive Of the intricacies Of government
OF more courage in presenting his con
victions to the public.

From every section Of the country

President Taft and of his administra-

The president is receiving credit for
his courageous vetoes OF free trade

economical administration of the gov
eminent and for his success in i'm
proving social conditions through
recommending and forcefully advo-
eating legislation. A page could well
be filed with extracts from editorial

What Would Be the
Good of Coming Back.

Monday he will busy himself with
some affairs in the national capital,
leaving that afternoon for Baltimore,
where he will Immediately plunge into
the business of nominating Oscar I'm
derwood, the peerless Alabama leader,
for the presidency of the United States.
The fact that Mr. Felder's route to
Baltimore is far north Of the Palmetto
state will be seized upon by some I'M
thinking and f1ippant people to mean
that the Atlanta man wished particu-
larly to avoid that vicinity of Uncle
Sans vineyard: others will take it to
mean that Mr.. Fielder feared that
Thomas E. Watson would be aboard
Southern No. 50 Sunday morning, and
that, therefore, a trip via Cincinnati
likely would be more pleasant.
Neither of these speculations is nee
essarily true. II is a solemn fact that
Mr. Fielder was called to Cincinnati on
business, and that he has an appoint
ment in Washington Sunday. And if
he had no appointment in Washington
Sunday. what would be the good in
coming all the way back to Atlanta
and taking a new start Baltimoreward,
when he can go straight through from
Cincinnati to Washington. then to Bal
timore?

The grand jury refused to indict Eel

Blease has been seeking to bring Fell

AS TO seek the extradition of Fielder,
nat the governor Of Georgia refused to
honor the requisition papers. and Blease
has had his constables laying in wait
for Fielder from that day to this. hop
ing. that he might set foot on South
Carolina soil, and thus render himself
liable to arrest under Bleases war

MI Fielder has avoided South Caro-
Ina soil since, more in order to avoid
unnecessary harrassing by Blease than
because he fears anything from his
warrants. AS a matter of fact Fielder
has said repeatedly that he would go TO
South Carolina any time that Blease
succeeded in having grand jury re-
turn an indictment against him.
