PRESIDENT TAFT.

intent upon his business to consider
mere popularity. He has been salts
fed to do what is best for the whole
country, leaving the verdict to the
public. Baseless charges are bound
to fall to the ground; perhaps not
today, but surely tomorrow.
This was President Cleveland's at
titude throughout his administration.
He was independent and this won for
him intemperate criticism, even bor-
dering on vilification. To-day the
American people realize the greatness
OF Grover Cleveland, just as in the
future they are bound to acknowledge
the similar eminence among presi-
dents OF William H. Taft
Signs Of the turning tide are appar-
ent now. The press of the country is
more inclined than it ever has been,
to grant the president a fair hearing.
People are realizing to a greater ex-
tent than at any time during the Taft
administration, that the work of the
past three years has been for the ben.
eft Of the country as a whole. No
interest or faction has been able to
swerve the president to serve the ad-
vantage of anybody and be has had
the courage to refuse to be popular in
order to be just.

President Taft's start in a brilliant
political career came in a most unex.
pected way. He was debating a de.
cision of the United States Court in
Cincinnati one afternoon early in
1900 when a telegram was brought to
him from William Mckinley. then
President. which read:
i shall take it as a great favor I,
you will call on me some time next
week"
Judge Taft went to Washington and
at the White House met the President
and Secretary Long OF the Navy. A
little later Elihu Root. Secretary Of
War. came in. President Taft told Of
this interview later as follows:
Mr. Mckinley said he wanted 70

Another Cleveland" is what Pres
ident Taft has been termed during the
past year. People who have studied
his administration and his courag-
eous devotion to pledges of the plat
form upon which he was elected have
given him this title. His absolute in
difference to attacks of Incorporate
and irresponsible writer's, his firm ad-
herence to what he considers the best
interests of the whole country, and
his disregard of the varying political
currents, seem to justify this charac-
terization.
The president Is not a politician.
He has made this evident throughout
his term by his refusal to take advan-
tage of every opportunity to boost
into popular favor. With the
firm belief that the platform upon
which he was elected meant some
thing, and his earnest work to redeem
every pledge made, he has been too
