Henceforth the country may expect
to see the genial side of Mr.. Taft. The

never a man who believed himself to
be the instrument through which a
great mission was TO be accomplished

will not brood over the belief that any
great cause is lost because he went
down 20 defeat.
Until the harassing troubles Of the
summer just past revealed a sort Of
overgrown petulance in his nature
President Taft had seemed altogether
a winning personality and il is fair TO
expect that he will resume that char
acter. As time advances he will be
remembered as a man of high eXccu-
tive ability in subordinate positions
and as a jurist who stands among the
the best in the country.

THE SOCIALIST VOTE
q. Y. Times)

Mr.. Debb's vote is larger than be-
fore, butBerger. the only socialist
who ever sat in congress. hereafter
will sit at home. And Schenectady
has reconsidered its vote for its social
ist mayor, who made such an exhibi-
ton of himself a Little Falls. What
is the philosophy of this Increase of the
National Socialist vote and the recon
sideration of the local socialist vote?
One explanation may be that nothing
was risked in voting for Debs, since he
had no chance Of election. II seemed
different whenever there was chance
that a vote for a socialist might elect
him. In that case all parties united
TO defeat the candidate whose election
threatened the common good which so
cialists have so much at heart and for
which they so seldom make those sac
rifices which they expect Of others.
In other words. many are willing
theoretically to vote for the beautiful
impracticalities which they are unwiil-
ing to have imposed upon them in fact.
The country remarks the sad results
Of the trial marriages 10 socialism in
Milwaukee and Schenectady and else
where. and recoils from like expert
ences. It is happy marriages which
make other marriages. not the pro
spect of the chance of escape from
unhappiness by divorce. When those
who try socialism persist in it there
will he a better chance for others 10
adopt IL than when those who expert
ment confess their failures 10 them
selves and do not attempt to keep up
a front" about their domestic unhap-
piness.

Vote For The Bonds.

Tomorrow the citizens of
Tupelo will be called on to de-
termine whether the City shall
issue $50, 10000 in bonds with
which to macadamize the streets
or whittier we shall continue to
pursue the wasteful policy of
temporary improvements. Moth
ing could be more extravagant
than this useless waste of money
and we should recognize that
fact without further loss. A
bond issue of $50, 600. 90 will cost
the tax payers So, 500 a year in
the way of interest. We are
now spending more than Sc, 900
a year on the streets. 1t is,
therefore, evident that the City
would save from $500 to $4,000
a year by issuing the bonds and
making permanent improve
ments. This money saved would
itself build quite a stretch of
streets and there is no reason
why we should not get the best
value for our money as we spend
it.
The bond issue is the only
business-like way of securing
the money to improve the streets
and any practical business man
can figure out the proposition if
he will only take the time and
trouble to do so.
