CHASING A PHANTOM.

We are liking in an age in which by
exaggeration of the defects of our pres
ent condition, by false charges of re-
sponsibility for it against individuals
and classes. by holding up to the fever
ish imagination Of the less fortunate
and the discontented the possibilities Of
a millennium. a condition of popular
unrest has been produced. New parties
are being formed. with the proposed
purpose of satisfying this unrest by
promising panacea. In SO far as In
equality of condition can be lessened
and equality of opportunity can be pro-
NOTED by improvement Of our educa.
tional system, the betterment of the
laws to insure the quick administra-
ton of justice and by the prevention of
the acquisition Of privilege without just
compensation. In so far as the adop-
ton of the legislation above recited and
laws Of a similar. character smay aid
the less fortunate in their struggle with
the hardships Of life. all are In synpa-
thy with a continued effort to remedy
injustice and to aid the weak, and /
venture to say that there is no national
administration In which more real
steps Of such progress have been taken
than in the present one. But in 80 far as
the propaganda for the satisfaction Of
unrest involves the promise Of a mil.
lennium. condition in which the rich
are to be made reasonably poor and
the poor reasonably rich by law. we
are chasing phantom: we are holding
out to those whose unrest we fear
prospect and a dream, vision Of the
impossible = From President Taft's
Speech of Acceptance.
