STAGE THUNDER OF POLITICS.

President Tart has no great reputa

sionally hits il of well. and never bet

professions are easier than practice.
His own term in the Office Of presi-
dent illustrates IT, Several times Taft
has had "A magnificent opportunity To
be progressive on paper, and has failed
each time to measure up TO his rhe-
torical chances. But while he has said
little or nothing about 1t, he has done
some progressive things.
Taft has really lost by his fatal habit
OF doing things without preparation Of
the stage or fanfare of horns TO an

feet is not TO be despised. 1t affects
the Imagination OF the crowd marvel
ously. We all consciously want IL In

have been great voto-g etters. Some
times the people shout one way and
vote another Thus they satisfy their
craving for excitement, and obey their
Judgment at the same time. II is in
this way that candidates who appar-
entity have little popular appeal some
times head the poll.
