RATHER SMALD,

The Fargo Courier.News has the
following political comment:
Unless one should be in contempt
Of court it is pertinent to remark that
Mr.. Taft's judicial mind to which he
refers with manifest pride has not
made such a decided hit upon his
countrymen as 1t might.
Things have changed somewhat i n
the past few years but it Is still much
safer for a man to. have an Andrew
Jackson temperament than to be a
simon pure judicial patriot II he
wants to arouse the people to ar en-.
thusiastic adherence to his fortunes
politically. The judicial mind, II Mr..
Taft IL a good sample Of It. is a mighty
poor drawing card"
On the whole, this strikes US as being
rather small. It is true that Preh-
dent Taft's temperament its him bet
ter in some respects for judicial than
for executive work. 1t il true that
he is generally believed to have plac-
ed undue emphasis on certain phases
Of constitutional government. and that
this has stood In the way Of his taking
a position on some subjects such As
a. very large number Of people would
like to have him take. But the his
tory Of the Taft administration is not
yet written. It will not be written
for some time. And when It is writ
ten by some man who is far enough
removed from the events Of which he
writes to be able to treat them dis
passionately ana without prejudice. 1t
Is quite likely that President Taft will
be given credit for wisdom and ca
pacity the recognition OF which is just
now obscured by ZONE Of the things
which probably most Of us regard as
mistakes.
II may be said further that no pub
lie act Of President Taft has been in
spired by SO cheap and unworthy a
motive as q dseire to AROUSE the peo-
pie to an enthusiastic adherence to
his fortunes politically" Whatever
he has done has been done because
he believed It to be for the interest
Of the nation. He has done some
things knowing that they would be
unpopular. He has given the matter
Of popularity not a thought when the
issue was that Of doing or leaving I'm.
done something which he believed
the country needed. We may dissent
from some Of the opinions expressed
by Mr.. Taft. We may question the
wisdom OF this act OF that. But if
we are fair and just we will give him
credit for courage. steadfastness and
patriotism.

submitted today to President Taft the
last annual report he will mako as
mead OF n United States department
OF agriculture. The report is more
than a review Of the past years work:
1T contains summary of the agricul-
tural van Of the country during

has been an uplift of agriculture and
of country life.
During the past sixtcen years the

the report says. during the past 1
teen years. an amount equal to about
three.quarters Of the present national
wealth.
The mos effective move toward re-
duced cost OF living Is the production
OF greater crops. says the secretary.
q this move he declared Is due to
the work OF the department of agri-
cultural colleges and experiment sta
lions and to the help Of the press in
publishing every movement to help the
farmers. The nation. he adds, forgot
Its farmers in the general scheme Of
education Of past years and few phil
a~nthropists thought of them when
giving for education. but they are
waking up and thinking for them
selves n congress has been good to
them.

work Of the various bureaus Of his
department in the past year and then
tells OF the growth in some Instances
from their foundation. Of these bur.

A lot Of foolish things are done in
the name Of economy. An effort Is
just now being made to cut down the
allowance Of 20 cents a mile for trav-
cling expenses Of members Of on

the custom, more time will be spent
Inc ink spilled than all the mileage
comes to, and We will go right on pay
ing 20 cents . mile as before.
There are few members Of congress
whose once does not cost them
money. Salary. mileage and all the
rest Of it are speedily used up in the
expenses Of living in the capital, and
the congressman who has not a com.

Is out Of luck. Possibly this should
not be so. but 1t Is 80. and We cannot
get around II. It costs a lot Of money
to run this country. but then, there
is a good deal Of country to run, The
men who do the work are entitled to

It would pay better to spend less
time and devote less attention to
cheese-partng in matters Of salary
and expenses. and more to the work
OF selecting our very best men for
congress. and to keeping them there
when we get them started.
In a few weeks our wi state leg
islature will be in session. First will
come the organization. and then, II
the sui custom Is followed. there
will be a recess during which com.
lnittees will be selected and prelim-
mary work will be arranged. Then
will come the usual protest against
the extravaganza of paying members
for a week while they may be back
at home during the recess. That pro-
test Is as regular as the session itself.
The recess IL a good thing BY rights
