Mr., Taft at Boston.

The Presidents course toward Mr.
Roosevelt since the latter came out into
the open as a candidate for third term
in the White House has been marked by
extreme courtesy and forbearance. Nor
has it been easy for him to follow it,
Many of his friends have warmly pro-
tested, on the score that Mr.. Roosevelt
had made himself unworthy Of the con-
sideration. They have urged the Presi-
dent to take the aggressive, as duty to
his party as its leader. Their purpose
was not to promote a shindy for enter
fainments sake, but to uncover facts of
value to the country at critical time.
Mr. Taft resisted, for two reasons: a.
His Indebtedness to Mr.. Roosevelt was
very great. and 81 he had no taste for
bandying personalities.
At last, however. both Mr.. Roosevelt
and the public showed misconception
of Mr.. Taft's attitude. They came to
ascribe il to weakness. They fancied
there was no limit to his patience, and
probably no reply possible TO the assaults
on him. And so gnr. Roosevelt, who is
something of a slugger. increased his
blows, and the public, which likes
scrap. seemed to be cooling toward the
man making no response.
But 1t was mistake to assume that
Mr.. Taft was lacking either in the ma
terial for reply or i'm the spirit to make
one. He was plentifully supplied with
both. 1t often happens that patience and
politeness are misunderstood; and In the
rough and-tumble of life they may be
carried too far. But it quite as often
happens that those who associate those
qualities with weakness or timidity have
their eyes opened in a sudden and con-
vincing manner. and are rendered lit
tie groggy as the result of their folly.
For an instance. Mr.. Roosevelt is not as
spry upon his pins today as he was the
day before yesterday.
In Boston last night Mr.. Taft dis
charged with reluctance an unpleasant
duty which had been forced upon him.
He yielded to the advice of his friends,
and stated not only his own position
toward public questions. but Mr.. Roose-
velt's position toward them and him. He
spoke frankly and to the point, but with
moderation. His material was abundant
and his provocation extreme, but he held
himself well within the dignity of his Of
flee and his personal dignity, and ac-
quilted himself we'll
The deliverance comes late but in time
for the information OF the republican
voters in those states yet to select dele
gates to Chicago. Taft and Roosevelt
are the candidates. La Toilette and Cum
minis are merely mentioned" What
say the republicans of Massachusetts,
and other states as between the man de-
nying a square deal after Boosting of his
disposition to accord it, and the man de-
manding it as his just due after deserv-
ing it?

The Permanent Commercial Congress

Secretary Nagefs enthusiasm over the
success of the first commercial confer
enee, which has just closed in this city
with the organization of a permanent ma
tional body, is doubtless founded upon
substantial basis. He expresses gratifica-
ton In the first place for the character
and unanimity of the response to the
Presidents invitation, every state and
section being represented, while the bust
ness interests sent as delegates their
strong and thoroughly representative
men. Cooperation is to be the inspira-
ton Of this new body, and if it is given
the formal recognition Of the government
in the way of a federal charter it will be
established as one of the valuable perma-
nent institutions of the country.
One of the most urgent needs of Ameri-
can commerce today is the coordination
of all the forces that make for trade de-
velopment. Heretofore, save in a few
isolated lines, the various industries and
in the same industries the various estab-
lishments have worked independently
with a consequent lack of cooperative
efficiency. These is broad middle
ground Of mutual enterprise between the
extremes of intense competition and
i
to bring about commercial activities on
this plane througr the workings Of the
commercial confeIknce. There is no in
dustry that CAM profit by friendly COM
munion with a Sival, and all of them
must necessarily profit by the use of the
governments own facilities for the
gathering of information about foreign
markets. In the domestic field there Is
much to be learned by every business
from such disinterested and universally
helpful agency as the government In
ventions are being effected continually
and new processes devised, the best uses
of which can be set forth through the
medium Of organization of this character.
Business methods are being today studied
more scientifically than ever, and in a
clearing house of the character of the
new organization the perfection of ad-
ministrative systems can be worked out
to the advantage of every member.
Application has been made for a federal
charter, which should be granted without
hesitation by Congress. The interests that
were represented at the recent meeting
in this city stand as the substance OF
American business. They are entitled to
prompt recognition by an act of incor-
poration that will then insure close re-
Iationship between the government and
the forces that are making Tor Ameri-
can commercial supremacy.

Kill the Caterpillar.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
II Philadelphians generally would heed
the warning and advice sent out a few
days ago by the Philomusian Club It ia
altogether probable that this city would
be spared the plague Of caterpillars
which recurs with increasing devastation
almost every summer. Attention Is call
ed to the fact that at the present time
the eggs Of the caterpillars are gathered
in masses of from 800 to 500 on trees,
fences and vines. It requires no special
skill for any one to collect the eggs and
burn them. 1t becomes the plain duty OF
all residents Of streets which contain
shade trees and OF owners Of private
property on which trees grow to CO.
operate with the city officials in extermi-
mating the pests. There are few more
distressing spectacles than that Of other
wise beautiful shade and fruit trees de-
nuded Of their leaves by devouring in

Although Miss Farrar was in poor
health when she arrived in Munich d

coming marriage of Signor Scott and Miss
Ives was shock that has caused her, ii
is reported, to lose all the ground gained
