TAFT'S GREAT SERVICE
SACRIFICED PERSONAL COMFORT
TO PUBLIC DUTY.
Calmly Faced Defeat Rather Than
Lend Himself to Destruction of
One of Our Finest Traditions.

The device of putting friend in the
presidential chair 20 keep it warm for
the man who imagines he has the
place at his disposal is not original in
this county.
1t was successfully practiced by
Porfirio Diaz of Mexico. Diaz attained
the presidency of that country some
thirty-fve years ago, on a no re-elec-
ton pledge, overthrowing Lerdo de
Tejada on the ground that Lerdo
should not seek a second term
At the end of his first term Diaz
turned the government over to his
close friend and comrade, Manuel Con
zalez. Gonzalez obligingly withdrew
at the end of his term. and Diaz was
elected for a second term, notwith-
standing his pledge. He was after
wards elected to third, fourth, and
a fifth term, holding the Office contin-
uously until 1911, when he was driven
out by the Madero revolution
Diaz gave Mexico a strong govern
ment, but Dolorez Butterfeld, young
woman who was born and reared in
Mexico, in an article in the Atlantic
Monthly, on the situation in that coun-
try, says his regime not only made
and forced the revolution by its polit-
SOO0o -
the anarchy now rife there
If President Taft had been as &C
commodating as Manuel Gonzalez we
would have had no Bull Moose" move
ment in the United States to seize the
presidency by a man who had sol
EMMY pledged himself not to seek
third term.
When Mr. Taft's services to the
country come to be summed up he
will receive due credit for his firmness
in resisting both cajolery and threats
and refusing to re-enact in this coun-
try the first act of the tragedy played
by Diaz and Gonzalez in Mexico. Mr.
Taft's courage and patience in calmly
facing defeat rather than lend himself
to the destruction of one of our finest
traditions will in time receive due rec
ignition
His refusal under the peculiar con-
ditions, to pave the way for a life
term in the presidency is one of the
finest examples of the sacrifice of per-
sonal comfort to public duty in our
history Minneapolis Tribune.

Keep. II out of Politics.

The rightfulness and benefit OF Ia
king the Supreme court out of poll
tics is now a matter of practically
unanimous agreement A passing re-
mark shows that, without counting
on the interposition of death, Presi-
dent-elect Wilson is likely to have
three appointments to make as the
chief justice and two of the associates
will reach the age for voluntary re-
tirement during his term.
Probably when the time comes to
fill these vacancies some of the Demo
Gratis will clamor for appointing
by political preference. But even these
partisans can hardly ignore President
Taft's very progressive example He
took the Supreme court out of poll
tics. OF his appointments of associ-
ate judges two, Lurton and Lamar, are
Democrats, and he promoted a third
Democrat, White, from associate JUS
tice to chief justice Having thus
taken the Supreme court out of poll
tics, he was taken out politics him
self by an even higher power.
If President Wilson does not per
ceive the logical deduction from these
premises he has not the keen appre-
citation of the infallible syllogism with
which he is generally credited

Politics rhen: business Now.


Some time before election a New
England protectionist, according to
the New York Evening Post, said to
Oscar w. Underwood, chairman of the
ways and means committee of the
house:
Don't you know, Mr.. Underwood,
that If your bill reducing the tariff
On cotton textiles had become law it
would have caused a panic in the cot
ton Industry"
Mr. Underwood did not admit that
ne knew any such thing, but he said:
we knew that it would not become a
law
There's an illustrating story for
you 1t shows that the Democrats
we're playing politics and that Mr..
Taft's vetoes were justified
There won't be any playing politics
bout the tariff reduction to which the
Democrats are pledged. That will be
business. And a Democratic president
will sign the bills. And the Democrats
will be held responsible.
Just watch and see the difference
between business and politics.

As the result of IL deaths recently
and the report of a number of severe
