Beyond his typewriter statement. Gov.
Wilson sent out word from his retreat last
night that he had nothing to say. This
morning he is to have breakfast with his
New York managers. including William

Committee and acting chairman in the
absence of Chairman McCombs. Mr.
McAdoo will continue with the active

McCombs's health should not. improve as
rapidly as his friends now hope
One OF the questions to he decided upon
at the conference between the Governor
and the vice-chairman this morning is the
amount of speechmaking the Governor
will do in the campaign and the places
which will be visited. Gov. Wilson
already has announced that he will not
make any extended stumping tour, as he
does not consider that the most effective

Judge Hooks decisions have been, from all

" two things are 80 well established in this

is that 30 far rs the government Of the United

delicate subject are practically powerful no
matter what their theoretical effectiveness In
several notable decisions the Supreme Court
has exhibited an admirable dexterity In pre-
serving just this common-sense view of a sub
sisting fact. IT is not like Mr. Taft, lawyer

a half dozen judges should not and cannot

thing is an opinion. The other thing is a

A GAME PLAYED OUT.

What successfully accomplished in 1908.
when the Aldrich-pavne tariff bill before
the Congress. is no wheeling tried again with all
the assurance which a man brings to a losing
fight.
Four years ago. MIR. Taft had been elected
President by majority only excelled by that
OF Roosevelt In The height OF his popularity.
He permitted himself his historic bubble on
the tariff He saw. as a result. the House fall
to the Democ4 acy. and the Senate totter. He
sees himself today standing in position where
his only hope Of reelection consists in the
WORKOUT belief that the Democrats may. be de-
pended upon to bunder when the grand prize
is In their reach.
notwithstanding the tiasco of the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff debates, the same methods now
being followed as were adopted four years ago.
This and that gentleman of industry comes be-
fore the committee and predicts his ruin. This
and that industry asserts that the legislation
In conjunction with a scared and doubtful Sem
ate, Is again put to the question of whether
il will permit itself to be bull-dozed.
Among the stais In the present tariff debate
is to be noted one Charley Schwab Mr.. Schwab
is the man who derived, for the United States
Steel Corporation. the fiction that ii was neces.
sary to protect in this country product that
could undea sell the products of the world. He
not only devised this fiction, but defended il
to such good effect that 1t has been written
down rs a part OF the tariff policy of the Ma
ton. Having defended, be reasserts ii. Gall
could go no further.
MIR. Taft is a foolish, IL a good. loser He
made his play when he accepted the sophistries
of the Payne Aldrich debate The country re-
pudiated him. With an admirable but fatal
obstnacy he followed up initial error by stick
ing to 1t In the matter of vetoes given to tariff
legislation passed by the special session. II
would have been the part Of a broader man
and better Republican to have accepted pop
