Real Cause of Defense.

The caption OF an editorial reads
Fisher Defends President Taft
The Fisher referred to is a cabinet
officer, a well known progressive;
The explanation as to who Fisher
is, is merely for the purpose of iden-
tifcatlon.
So far as the headline quoted is
concerned there is no logical reason
except that the enemies of the Re
publican party are at work, why
there should be defense put up
for Mr.. Taft, from a Republican
point of view. =
Mr.. Taft has faithfully carried
out the national platform of the
Republican party as every man who
reads knows, In addition, he has
met the progressive spirit the party
has shown. and nothing has been left
undone by him that the party as a
whole wants done.
Why then should he be defended
In his own party. except on the
ground that there is treason in the
party? Evidently, those who want
to slay the leader OF the fort aim
to destroy the fort. 1t must be true,

Not a Roosevelt Policy.

Theodore Roosevelt chargeS that
federal patronage is being used to
get delegates for the denomination OF
Taft. He raves about the outrage"
and, trayellng from one state to
another, tells the people that ap-
pointments to government office
must be taken out of politics.
For seven and a half years Roose-
Telt was president and all that time
he was satisfied to keep the power
Of appointment in his own hands.
Furthermore, he used it to do pol
tiles on all OCCASIONS, his California
selections in many instances being
typical of the way he played the
game when he had an inning.
Thus declares the Sacramento,
Calf, Union, which makes an In
teresting comparison or roosevelt
boasting and Taft accomplishment,
continuing as follows:
Yesterday Taft sent to Congress
a message asking that all first and
second class postmasters, pension
agents, land Office employees, reve-
nue. and customs officials, and others
be put under civil service regula-
tions and that such legislation be
provided as would require the presl-
dent to make his selections from
eligible lists.
Did Roosevelt as president ever
propose such a reform? Not that
we have heard Of. We recall
that he did issue an order subjecting
all applicants for positions in 1.-The
consular service to examination,
but he was careful not to go further
than, an. executive proclamation
which he might revoke at will
should 1t, become irksome. HE did
not have 1t made a part of this law
Again the comparison must be
drawn between Roosevelt talk and
Taft performance. Economy was
not one of the 'GRooseve1t policies,' .
held sacred by clifford Plnchot, Jim
my. Garaeld ct al of the tennis cabl-
net. While he was president the
postofice department ran up a
deficit of from $I12 100000 to s17,-
100000 year. President Taft has
wiped that out, shown surplus of
more than 81, 100000 a year and
now proposes an additional annual
saving of $40, 100000 by the cousol-
idation of numerous petty federal
Offices. Ta
Roosevelt's friends will doubtless
say that the. president is playing pol
itics, but they will have a hard time
showing that the colonel ever
asked Congress- to take patronage
out of his hands in order to save the
country money.
