istration, a change in policies and
and general unrest.
In estimating the probabilities of
President Taft's denomination and re-
election, it is necessary to recur only
to recent history. The president car
ried every northern state in 1908. Be
tween the election of that year and
1910 occurred the tariff legislation
known as the Payne tariff law. 1t is
a well known maxim of politics that
that party which revises the tariff is
defeated at the next election and the
only exception to the rule in recent
years was the passage Of the Dingley
law, which was followed so closely by
the outbreak of the Spanish-American
war as to bury the tariff issue in a
wave of patriotic enthusiasm. The
more recent bye-elections in the big
Republican states east of the Missis-
sippi river, notably in New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, have shown
a return Of Republicans to the fold
and a restoration of the old-time Re
publican majorities, which justifies the
prediction that they will be safely in
the Taft column in November. That
they will so unanimously support any
other Republican candidate, particular
ly if the third term issue is injected in
to the fight, is denied by the best in
formed leaders in those states.
AS to the nomination there is no
longer the least doubt that President
Taft will have a majority of the dele
gates both from the north and the
south. New England will be practical
ly, if not entirely, solid for him. lie
will have sweeping victories in New
York, Pennsylvania and the other
middle Atlantic states. Ohio has never
yet failed to support a favorite-son
candidate for president. Indiana, Hi
nois, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Kan
sas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Okla
homa of the middle western states will
all have their quota of Taft delegates
in the convention, four of them having
already instructed delegates in some
districts for the president. The
southern states will be almost unani-
nous in their support of the president,
while in Utah, Montana, Idaho, Colora-
do, Wyoming, Arizona and the Pacific
coast states there is every assurance
of solid Taft delegations Present in
dications point only to a scattering OPP
position to President Taft's renomina-
ton.

Progressive versus radical, progress
sive versus reactionary--this is the
viewpoint presented of the candidacy,
respectively, OF President Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt in the address of
Secretary OF War Stimson before the
Taft Club of Illinois. Mr.. Stimson de-
clared he was for Taft because TAFT
had carried out the progressive poll
cies of the Republican party. Sound
reason this! II is incontrovertible as
well. The secretary OF war acBnowl-
edges that he entered public life un-
der the influence OF Theodore Roose-
welt, and remains his sincere friend
but this does not avail to separate
him from loyalty and faith in TAFT as
the true Republican constructionist.
In this attitude Mr.. Stimson has the
company OF many other eminent Re
publican friends OF the former presi-
dent who would not support for a mo-
ment his ultra-declarations.

Correcting an Error.

The millennium OF industrialism
has not arrived, but that better
understanding exists between the
two co-workers-the employer and
the employees evident There is
an improved education on the part
of both, and which is significant
and extremely promising for the fu.
ture, the general public has about de-
cided that antagonism between those
who work and those who employ them
is an economic error which must be
corrected if the nation would maintain
its industrial prestige.-Business.

Taft for Peace.h

1t was only by the exercise OF rare
discretion and tact that war was
averted with Mexico nearly a year ago.
Had President Taft yielded to the de-
mands of some of the "Jmgoes" of the
country the United States might easily
have been plunged into a conflict with
its neighbor over fancied wrongs,
Without permitting the rights OF
American citizens to suffer in any re-
spect, Mr.. Taft handled a ticklish
diplomatic situation with such good
Judgment that trouble was ayerted and
the friendly relations with Mexico
were undistuTbed.

In the real prosecution of the trusts
the administration of President Taft
has established a record that is far
beyond that of any of his predecessors.
Big combinations have been brought
to the bar of federal justice, their pro-
moters have been fined for disobey.
ing the Sherman antitrust law, and
the controlling corporations have been
disintegrated. The record Of the Taft
administration stands uneQualed In its
