AN oVERSHADOWING HONESTY.

Every inhabtant of the United
States who has given any attention -
the life and the administration Of
President Taft sees instantly that the
president is not a politician. Scarce
is the politician who has con
science; while a conscience is Mt.
Tafts chiefest asset.
Not being politician, it is but nat
ural that an overshadowing honesty
would lead him to make political
mistakes. But similar mistakes have
been made 10y all who served their
country honestly, They We're made by
Washington, who, upon retiring, said:
Though / am unconscious Of inten'
tional error, / am nevertheless too
sensible of my defects not to think
It probable that | have committed
many errors" Lincoln, too, made
mistakes, and political enemies by the
score His very cabinet was most
hostile camp. Garfield and the mar
tyred Mckinley made their mistakes
as President Taft has made his.
Yet there is not a man who VII
question the purposes of Mr.. Taft
There is not a man who win question
his honesty. There is not a mau
who will question his progressiveness
unless he have aligned himself with
that insurgent faction, which within
itself is neither progressive nor re-
publican.
The true standard of progressive
republican is whether he Is standing
back Of the party principles as enun
ciated IN different platforms. Tn,
true progressive is today lending his
efforts to President Taft in his task
Of forwarding honest progress ana
in aiding in his defense against inter
ests which seek his destruction and
at the same time, the destruction OF
those things OF administration fol
which he has so nobly stood.
That man who is redoublng his
efforts to see the undoing of the
president is at the same time seek
ing to undo the republican party. OF
which President Taft IS its sincere
leader in real progrosslveness.

In FIGHTING TRIM.

The sight of Mr.. Taft standing up
and lighting back at the enemies and
carpers in his party, calling a spade
spade and disposed to use even
harder names than "neurotics," is
highly satisfactory to the great body
OF Republicans who have seen him
turn the other cheek and smile bland
ly when a frown Of indignation would
have become him better; for they
know how unmerited has been the
abuse how groundless the structures.
and how stealthy and sordid have
been the tactics employed against
him.--New York sun.

was shown into the executive office.
1t was her boy she had come to talk
about. Her boy had gone wrong and
was confined in the penitentiary. She
pleaded for q pardon as only n mother
can plead Her boy had been a good
boy in prison. He knew he had done
Hrong, but would never do it again.
She wanted him at liberty once more.
These stories the governor is forced
to listen TO daily and always they are
new; always they touch him deeply,
more especially because in most in
stances il would not be good public
policy for him TO comply with the re-
quest of the mother. He told her of
tho situation and she listened with
tears rolling down her checks.
Presently two senators and a news
paper man entered. The governor
greeted them and the colored woman
rose.
