to be rejected, not to assume a throne,
but to die. He tells US that we must
affirm that we have no reliance upon
or obligation to self when 1t makes its
demands. asserts its opinions, or ex-
presses its desire. To deny is to re-
nounce. That is exactly what self
confident Peter did on that last night
and three times he confessed his peni-
tence on the shore of the lake. To
deny self means exactly what the

WILL TAFT WIN AND THEN
RETIRE?

Reports from Washington are to the
effect that President Taft is obdurate
and refuses to withdraw from the
residential race. He can hardly be
blamed for this. He has been so Wilt,
fed bv Roosevelt and Roosevelt'l
friends that any desire to placate thai
clement of his party must have long
since given way to a deep seated feel
ing of intense resentment. To retire
n the interest of harmony at this
juncture would be hailed as an evil
aence of fear on his part, and while he
may be weak and good natured" he is
hardly apt to show the white feather
in such fashion as that.
There are we'll defined rumors
though, that after the convention
meets and it is demonstrated that the
presidents forces have the situation
we'll in hand, with enough of the duly
Gated delegates to insure his nomina-
ton, even though a vast number OF
them do come from the South and rep
resent nothing more tangible than
themselves and the Federal offices
they hold, the president will graceful
ly withdraw from the field of candi-
dates and permit of the nomination Of
4 man who stands chance of reunit-
ing the badly broken forces of tn.
"arty, of cementing it anew into IA
'omDaCt, harmonious, fighting ma
chine. To do this, to lay down a tri-
umph over Roosevelt, would convince
The country that Taft puts the inter
ests of his party and the nation over
personal ambition If he is capable o.
such an act of self-renunciation h
VIII loom much larger in the public
esteem than he does at this particular
time.
Of course it is apparent to the out
side world that it would be an act Of
political wisdom for him to do this.
No one, even among his friends. can
oelleVe for an instant that Taft would
stand q show Of being reelected with
his party split into warning factions
and with an enormous number of the
American people, regardless of their
party Affiliations, disappearing his
course while in office There has bee,
very little in his administration that
has appealed to the American people
as a mass. 1t has been distinctly
"fabby" in it's character and in some
