REALIZES HIS

President Taft continues to blum
der and then profit by his mistakes
after it is too late. His whole adj
ministration has been marked by
this sort of procedure with the re-
suit that at the expiration Of his
first term he finds himself about
the most discredited man in the
United States.
1t Is now announced that the
President will not stump the coun-
try for votes this fall. He will try
this time a porch campaign, with
some intervals on the golf links. 1t
seems the President has discovered
that the people are averse to the
spectacle of a President going out
on the hastings, and that he can get
more votes by preserving the dig
nifty of his great Office.
But Is not the President rather
late In discovering that he owes
something to the people in preserv-
ing the dignity Of his great Of
fce'? Never before the recent
primary campaign did the nation
have the spectacle of the President
making a "whirlwind campaign"
rushing about from town to town,
on a special train, ~belaboring his OPP
ponent and bidding for votes like an
ordinary politician. Before this
year 1t has always been an event Of
the greatest honor and Importance
to have a President of the United
States visit a place. But to have
the President exhibited about like a
cheap show, SO degraded that great
Office that the people turned away
In disgust. Were there not affairs
of state of sufficient Importance to
keep the President in Washington
instead of cayorting about from
state to state, and from town to
town singing mud at his predeces-
sor? No matter what the Presi-
dents opponent might have said of
him, had he maintained the dignity
of the Office he holds and remained
quietly at work at the capital, leav-
ing It to his official family to make
what replies were necessary, he
would have probably Won the sym

pathy and support Of thousands who
under the circumstances, turned
from him.
1t was no doubt one of the great
est plumbers Mr.. Taft has yet made
and did more than anything else to
make his defeat absolutely certain.
That he now realizes his mistake is
evident from his announced deter
mination not to repeat the perform
ance this fall. He now realizes that
the dignity of the office he holds
should be preserved. Poor Taft.
He always finds things out too late.
He doubtless means we'll, but he has
clearly demonstrated his unftness
for the exalted position of Presi-
dent of the United States.

NEVER TOO MUCH OF LACE
If Possible, tho Use Of It This Season
10 Really Becoming Mo-
notonous.

It is to be a season of lace, Sc the
modistes have been telling US, the
filmy appearing not only on gowns,
but as hat trimmings and parasols.
There have been, in consequence,
many new and beautiful patterns Of
lace, some copied from rare old point
and honiton, while novelties of all
kinds have made their appearance.
The latest Of these are the very
handsome modern laces wide enough
to form a deep underdress or to
be made without undue difficulty into
blouses, and yet narrow enough for
moro ordinary use, with brilliant
touches OF color interviewer with them.
On a cream ground there will be a
pattern Of large flowers, not wholly
colored, but with bright huss intro
duced in an arbitrary manner which
pleases tho eye az much a. 1t would a
gardener. Or 4 conventional design
will be carried out In white or cream,
with touches Of blue and red or a
dark blue ground.
White lace, with the pattern lightly
outlined with thread Of black IL also
extremely fashionable. Other trim
mings are mostly comprehended by
various metallic embroideries, clusters
Of ribbon flowers or the revived fash.
lon Of button trimming.
A lovely evening frook, for instance,
Of white gauzs brocaded with silver
vine leaves and tendrils. has an under.
dress Of vine leaf lace on which the
punches Of grapes are emphasized
by little crystal buttons.

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 25.-The foot
bridge circling part OF the big Atlantic

Of grspeshot are now being held in readi-

Once across the bridge, the strikers

charge Of dynamite. One young striker
attempted to cross the span to-day, but
he was arrested by two privates after a
hard battle, in which he broke one of the
troopers guns.
A great demonstration has been ar
ranged for tomorrow TO take place upon

HOOK STILL LEADS

President COnfers with Legal Ad-
visers as to His Slate of Ju-
dicial Nominations.

President Taft yesterday began fixing
Up the slate OF judicial nominations
which he hopes to send to the Senate
next week. For several hours yesterday
afternoon he conferred with Attorney Cen
eral WIckersham, Secretary of State
Knox. who was formerly Attorney Gen.
eral, and Secretary OF War Stimson. who
was formerly United States district at
torney OF New York. the principal law
yers in the Presidents Cabinet Secre-
tary OF Commerce and Labor Nagel did
not participate, as he is one OF the can
6idates for appointment to the Supreme
Court bench, and his qualifications and
the propriety OF his appointment were
under discussion.
The most important judicial vacancy
TO be filed is that in the Supreme Court
Of the United States. succeeding the late
Associate Justice John NJ. Harlan. There
are two main candidates for the ONCE.
They are Judge william c. Hook, OF
Leavenworth, Kans.. a United States
judge Of the Eighth judicial circuit. and
Secretary OF Commerce and Labor NaEel
President Taft has a slight leaning to-
ward the appointment OF Judge Hook
Secretary Nagel was strongly indorsed
by Attorney General wickersham. Mr..
NageL however. is slxty-two years old,
ahd mas hO JuulCldA experience. r.
has made It a rule not to appoint men
more than sixty years OF age to judi
cial positions. II became known yesterS
day that Judge Walter c. Moves. Of thu
Circuit Court in New York, and several
others are under consideration.
In spite OF the protests from the raIk
road commissions Of Western States. Mr.
Taft still favOrs the appointment d
Judge Hook. These protests are based
principally on Judge Hooks action in ths
2-cent rate cases. Attorney General
wichersham, who investigated these pro-
tests. informed Mr.. Taft yesterday that
the protests were groundless and should
not be considered by the President II ha
desired to appoint Judge Hook
After the conference between President
Taft and his three legal advisers ended.
Chief Justice White, Of the United States
Supreme Court, calico ar the White
House. President Taft has always con-
suited the Chief Justice on proposed ap-
pointments to the Supreme Court. and It
IS believed that he submitted TO Mr..
White the list of names OF probable ap-
pointees to ascertain whether OF not any
one Of them viii be satisfactory to the
members OF the court.
It is practically certain that the va
cancy in the United States District Court,
caused by the death OF Judge Adams.
will be filed by the appointment OF Jul
ius NJ Mayer. former attorney general
