Presidents Great Speech.


II is to be regretted that every Amert-
can Congressman and that every Ameri-
can voter who makes a Congressman
could hot have heard the speech made at
the naval banquet in New York Monday
night by the President of the United
States.
There was not trace of politics nor
a suggestion of self-interest or dema-
gogy in the Presidents remarks. Mr..
Taft was perfectly simple and ahso-
lutely sincere. He was at his best. His
speech was an expression of elear-eut.
level-headed, red-blooded Americanism
which should appeal to every citizen.
The Presidents plea for larger navy
was powerful in its earnestness and SIM
plicity It was based upon the policy OF
a national insurance against war and
commercial disaster. upon the necessities
of the Panama Canal, upon the SAFETY
of the Monroe Doctrine and upon the
preservation of our dignity and whole
some respect among nations.
The Presidents appeal for the contih-
uation of the Congressional policy OF
two battleships year was convincing In
its common-sense and logic.
The heartiest. most unanimous and
most spontaneous applause of the eve
ming was given by that great and re-
markably representative audience to this
portion of the Presidents speech.
president Taft never made better
and more effective public speech. 1t was
at once reverent and prophetic in IT'S
forecast of peace and arbitration ana
resolute and aggressive In its demand
for preparedness until the day of uni
versal peace shall Gomez
speeches like this rouse every citizen to
new pride and loyalty to his country
and IN new respect and confidence in the
Chief Executive of the Republic.

Editorial Comment
nPunkinv pie.
cleveland Plain Dealer.)

cleveland Plain Dealer.)
Several days ago story appeared to
the effect that the American people are
no longer eating pie. This statement is
an exaggeration, doubtless based on
the reports of pie factories and pro-
fessional pie bakers. 1t would be an
irreparable loss to the palate, the we'll
being and the estheticism of abe coun-
try if the experts of the home should
cease to produce that noble national
dish-the great American dessert.
The season is here again when that
king of all pastries, the pumpkin pie,
is in the height of lis glory. The gold
en- spheres are ready for the minting.
Between the rnstling tepees of the corn
they lie in heaps. and the frost has
kissed them lightly with final, mel
lowing earess. That same frost has
driven the artist of the kitchen from
the greener callower articles of diet;
now she gets down to business and
contemplates her m t g rp e e
And she makes the real thing, too.
Not the meretricious substitute ralmed
off on one by the chefs of hotels-more
than half squash. and degraded and
disguised with spices until its proper
character is submerged, Not the cheap
imitation of the restaurant-made by
thinning a mysterious mess from tin
can End applying a light coat of the
mixture to the bottom OF soGgy crust.
But the genuine thing. made from the
genuine and only pie pumpkin (cucur-
bita pepo), eighteen inches across ana
three inches deep, Some like 1t hot,
and some like it cold, but your epteure
likes it both ways and three times
day. Also it makes good snack Just
before one goes to bed.
For she makes the real thing, this
genius of the kitchen. There be those
who fondly imagine they can make
pumpkin pie out of any sourdllke pro-
duct of any cucurbitaceous vine. They
use summer squash, Hubbard squash,
crooknecks vegetables marroW-and
call it pumpkin, It's nothing of the
kind. An oblate spheroid. yellow IN
color-that is the fruit The creeks
called it pepo. and so through the Lat
in it came to the French VINO called II
pompon. which the English harshenel
to pumpkin and the Americans SOFT
ened to punkin. That's the fruit, the
apple of the Hesperides. That is the
one and only foundation for the last
word in pastry cooking.
What moistens the lip and what bright
ems the eye.
What calls back the past like the rich
pumpkin pie?
And the answer to that is, More.

the polls closed. but that they give
for the first time the vote polled by
; the minor parties. For example, the
Maine Socialists cast 2110 votes for
their gubernatorial candidate. George
Allen England, the writer. This is
nearly 500 more than in 1910, and
would seem like substantial gain
if one did not go back further for
comparisons. In 1902, a decade ago,
the Maine Socialists mustered 1000
votes, so it is plain that the party is
making no real progress in that
State.
The Prohibition vote is even small
err Last month this party cast 1904
votes, which is not enough to keep
it a place ON the official ballot. How
ever, it likewise fell short of casting
one per cent. of the total vote of 1910,

the same in 1914 1t is far easier to
get signers for such a petition than
to get men to vote the Prohibition
ticket in Maine.
But the curious and paradoxieal
thing is that there should be any Pro
hibitory party at all in Maine when
the prohibitory law is the one big
local issue between the Republicans
and Democrats in that State. Every
Prohibitory party vote is worse thar
thrown away in that particular State,
for in a close election the votes for
the Prohibition candidates might
easily turn the election against the
party that has been fighting the real
battle of the Prohibitionists and car
rying the heavy burden of their pei

gusted with his party banner carrier,
on the paramount issue" of the cam
paign. 1t is not surprising Many
other Democrats who know far less of
tariff schedules than the editor of the
Sun, have turned away from the
academic weathercock, because to sup
port him would be like poor Trays
dropping of good bone to grasp at a
shadowy promise.
Prof. Wilson manifestly has not
named distinctly specific tariff taxes
that he would wipe out or reduce"
because he Dies not know. 1t is
painfully apparent, even to the lay
mind that Prof. Wilson knows about
as much of practical tariff construe-
ton as-well as a bull caribou knows
about cotton growing.
If DR.. Wilson knew what schedules
he would revise, he does not know
what points Champ Clark and Chair
man Underwood would attack.
DIR. Wilson is making pitiful BLUR
ON the tariff issue by trying to get by
on generalities. He has been caught
at it. His declaration for protection,
with special privileges cut out" is
the weakest utterance we have ever
heard from a man of education.
Woodrow Wilson is attempting to
hold the voters by turning his coat
again. He is ready to promise any
hing if men will vote for him; but
