PRESIDENT TAFT HITS BACE.

II is good 10 sec that President Taft
is not disposed any longer 10 resi- quiet
under the slure. iuuucpdocs, and Dso-
lent. unfair attacks which Col Roose'
Welt is makipg uron him. In his ad-
dress 10 the Union League club Of New
York on Thursday evening, he came back
in great style upon Roosevelt, without
naming him, He referred at length to
the attacks that are making upon the
courts and the judiciary system Of the
country, and pointediy stated that most
of those making these attacks are in
sincere dcmagogues who arc acting
without knowledge OF what they are
doing.
This hits of Roosevelt exactly.
Roosevelt is clearly tho most blatant
dangerous dcmaGoeue that has ever APP
Deared on the large field Of National
politics in the United States. He is
utterly insincere, reckless, and unscru-
puIous, menace to the republic I'm
less he is put down politically, he is
going to be a terror TO the Nation. He
is at all times a pcril to il. and dan
ger to the stability Of our institutions
In referring to demagogucs who are
acting without knowledge, President
Taft must certainly have had Col
Roosevelt especially in mind, for no
one else so fills the measure of that
description as does Roosevelt And
while 1T is admirable in President Taft
TO refrain from personality, it Is not
admirable in him to sit meek and dumb
while Roosevelt INDUCES in his blatant
personalities. his reckless charges. and
in his Insincerc, ignorant, and turbu.
lent diatrbes. We are glad that Pres.
ident Taft is able thus forcibly, while
impersonally, to dress down this reck-
less stumper In a way most deserving

THE MICHIGAN BUMPERS.

The turbulence and bitterness dis
played in the Michigan State Conven.
tiou indicate the length to which the
Roosevelt gang will 90 in their evil
dent attempt to disrupt the Repub-
lican party. The determination to
send TO the National Convention large
numbers OF contested delegations can
bave but the one purpose Of assembling
in Chicago on the 18th Of June next 4
big lobby of Roosevelt shouters, who
will be ready at the command Of that
disturbing demagogue to 60 to any
length m destroying all chance for
Republican success this year, by hold
ing rump convention and naming
their idol.
We Judge from the dispatches that
it is n clear case that the Taft men
were i'll the majority in the Michigan
who heads the rump delegation, called
out the militia to overawe the Taft men,
and give Roosevelt men the hall. The
Roosevelt adherents created an uproar,
in the midst of which they claim to
have elected their men as delegates TO
the Chicago Convention. and then left
the hall. The regular convention
then organized. and proceeded with
the business of the convention. 1t
was bitter contest, and the worst Of
the disturbance was what the Cover
nor Of the State was undoubtedly re-
sponsible for in large degree. And yet
it will be intellectual, because, AS we
Judge, there will be no possibility Of
showing that there was any orgauiza-
tiou of the convention at the time of
the so.callcd election of the Roosevelt
delegates; there was no platform
adopted, no credentials verified, moth
ing, in fact, but an uproar and mere
assumption that certain cut and dried
actions had been taken. The real con
vention was held after the drsturbers
withdrew, aud it is likely that this will
be the view of the National Conveu-
tion itself,
And what will be the result? Roosc.
welt is evidently encouraging contested
delegations with view TO a rump cor
yentiou IN Chicago when, AS is prac.
tically certain to be the case, his con.
testing and bogus delegations are re-
iccted. Unless he intends to have such
rump convention, what is he getting
up these bogus delegations fOrl Some
time ago, he was asked if he intended
to support the nominee of the Chi
cago convention. He stated that he
would, but his word in matters of this
kind has come to be of no value what
ever, in view of his repeated declara.
tions that he would not again be can
didate for the Presidency, that he
would consider his candidacy calam-
ity to tho Nation. and so on, Later,

FAIR TO SENATOR DUBOIS.

The carping of some ignorant and
bigoted Iightweights against former
Senator Dubois is scarcely worth any
attentions; and yet it is probably as
we'll that the Idaho Statesman, pub
lshed at Boise, devotes some attcn-
tion to recent snarl of the Smoot pa
per in this city. The Statesman s COM
ment is under the head "Au Unwar.
rantcd Aspersion on Former Senator
Dubois, T" and is as follows:
When Champ Clark wanted a. western
manager for his campaign for national
delegates, he desired a well-known poll
tician. He engaged Fred T. Dubois OF
Idaho. but unfortunately for Mr. Clark,
he failed to inquire into the character of
the Dubois fame In the west. Dubois is
well known, II is true; In fact, he is too
well known TO be OF service to anybody
he supports.-Salt Lake Herald Repub-
lican.
After which the Salt Lake paper de-
clares that Idaho suffered by sending Du-
bois to the senate and that the entire
west had unpleasant experiences because
of his election and was anxious to. bury
Fred T. Dubois In the grave of forget
funess.
The Herald Republican is mistaken.
Mr.: Dubois has been one Of the most
stalwart friends of Idaho and of the en-
tire west While it is true that political
differences have arisen to cause intense
opposition TO him, those who have most
earnestly opposed him politically In this
State have never doubted for a moment
his friendship for Idaho nor his loyalty
TO its vital interests. This applies with
equal force to the entire west,

escape the ghost Of the old anti Mormon
fight. However the public may regard

And yet its sense of fairness prompts
it to do the Justice indicated above.
1t is a great pleasure to The Tribune
to coincide with the Statesman in this
matter. and TO say without qualification
that Senator Dubois deserves we'll of all
this Western country for the jealous,
active. and unwaverine activity which

THE LIQUOR DECISION.

The liquor decision of the Supreme
as a legal OK academic question than rs
n practical proposition. IL annuls the
city ordinances passed prior to Nav .,
| 1911, (whcn the new liquor statute
went into cffcct.) and makes il impos
siblc to prosecute illegal liquor sales
under the ordinances passed prior
! TO that time Wherever amy city has
| passed now ordinances based upon the
law OF 1911. those ordinances are good,
But Alt though the old ordinances are
void so far as criminal prosecutions
are concerned, such prosecutions can be
conducted under the State law Just the
same. There is no opening the door to
disregard Of law under the decision,
and there is nothing that the dry
public need be airaid of in it. ucthcT
is there anything that the wet public
need object to- 1t is simply Il question
Of law. and in so far as any remedies
are needed. this decision does not do
away with them. Since the prosecu-
tions are Just as easy under the State
law as under city ordinance, the
rights of the community are preserved
and the punishment for transeressors is
provided,
The question Of tue validity Of the
law of 1911 was not raised in the case
nor touched upon by the court lu its
decision. The validity OF that law was
assumed. since it had not been at
tackled. There are a number Of provi-
sions in that law, however, which seem
to be clearly unconstitutional. such as
the reversal in presumptions. as be.
tween wet and dry territory, the posi-
tion of the district Judges with respect
10 licenses. and number of other
points of doubtful validity. All these
points are yet to be settled
1t is quite likely that the law itself
would be held to be invalid if the ques-
tiou were directly raised upon it. Ger.
tainly, IT seems clear that the court
would modify it very materially, IN
holding number of its provisions TO
be lnfrlngements of the constitution.
1t was an uuwise, ill-judged law from

cal scheme. unscttling a perfectly salts
factory condition SO far as the liquor
trade is concerned, as ii existed prior
to the passage of this law. The old
statutes and the ordinances based upon
them had been fully adiudicated; there
was a clear comprehension Of their
provisions in the public mind, and there
was no doubt as to how the provisions
Of law would apply. All this satisfac'
tory condition was overturned by the
new statute under the pretense that
what was then wanted was TO bring
about precisely the condition that we
already had, it was a fake PROPOSE
tion all the time, and so clearly fake,
and the law itself was so badly drawn,
that the court would necessarily be
obliged TO iuvalidate number of its
provisions, perhaps to set aside the law
as a whole. The litigation under this
political liquor statute Is only begun.
Doubtless in course of time the law it
self will be squarely attacked, and then
we shall see something important come
from the Supreme Court of the State.
