While he waited to be made President
he called upon every Senator and Repre-

gress, with the purpose to show them
upon how cordial and natural a basis of
personal acquaintance he wished. for his
part, to see the government conducted;
but, the oath OF office once taken, he was
no longer simple citizen, as he had been
during those two days of waiting: the
dignity OF the government had come into
his keeping with the office.
Henceforth he would pay no more
calls accept no invitations. On day
fixed he would receive calls: and he
would show himself once a week at
Mrs. washingtons general receptions.

The Good MIR. Taft Can Do.

The work to which Mr.. Tafthas choser
to devote himself seems crnincntly Fl
for a former President. As a pro-
icssor OF law at university he will
train young men in sound ways ot
thinking about legal and constitutions
questions. That this is very much
needed, and that it may have a good
| deal TO do with the politics of the fu.
turc, is realized by Mr.. Taft, when HI
says:
This need is especially keen in a da,
when that instrument (the Constitu
| tom is regarded so lightly by a clas:
OF fanatical enthusiasts seeking shor'
cuts TO economic perfection. on one
hand, and by unscrupulous denagogues
who, TO promote their own interests
do not hesitate to inculcate disrespeci
and contempt for the Constitution and
the laws, on the other. If | can helr
the men OF Yale to know the value OF
our institutions and to appreciate the
danger of accepting every nostrum that
is offered and of abandoning those
foundations. without which our gov
ernment could not have been, | will be
thrice content.
His firm stand for constitutional gov
ernment last year has arrested the
waves OF destructive radicalism, thus
paving the way for true progress. II
Our youth are taught these truths in
time, they cannot easily be led astray
in later life when confronted as Amer
lean citizens by momentous vital issues
pertaining to the welfare OF their coun-
try. For it is perfectly correct that
wrong action or thinking, when they
arc honest, generally are the results
of ignorance on the elementary and
basic subjects.
1t has a fine sound, this declaration
OF the stump orator, of the reformer,
OF the social economist; that the peo-
pie have the right 10 do everything
they wish, but it is one of the most
dangerous maxims voiced. 1t is more
than that, it is political heresy. We
live under a government OF law, and
this law applies to the people as well
as to their servants. Had the people
wished to do as they pleased, why
should they have placed restraint upon
their actions in the form of law and
Constitution? What really is meant
by the declaration that the people
should do as they please, is that the
majority of them shall be so privileged.
And in order to make sure that this
is so, and shall not be abused, the
rights of the minority also must be
protected. Therein consists the true,
constitutional liberty, simply because
majority cannot deny the minority
the right for due process of law, or
equal protection under the law; can
not impose tariffs between States; in
fact. cannot do a number of things
which they often perhaps might like 20
do. The Constitution is for this very
purpose. 1t confers powers upon the
government, but it limits the govern
ment to the powers conferred
Mr.. Taft will have a great oppor-
tunity, as a teacher of law, to show
the value and need of our Constitu-
ton, and how dangerous it would be
to have radicalism upset it or make it
easy of amendment.

es in size, only one main being laid on
any street. The plan for replacing the
pipes provides that two fourinch pipes
shall be laid on each of the principal
streets, one pipe on each side. New
mains will also be placed in the streets
farther out where new paving is to be
laid in the next year. The reason for
this will be to prevent any necessity
for ripping up the pavement until the
town grows to such proportions many
years hence that it will be necessary to
put in larger pipes.
