uation it is evident that all agree
that the Republicans should yield be
cause they have been given the pre-
ference heretofore. And to refuse t.
return the layor is showing yer,
small polite and puerile acts.
But the Democrats can stand it az
long as they can, and they are just
as able to bear their part of the
blame if any should be attached, az
the Republicans. and they Will pre-
sent their case to the people just a.
plainly when the time arrives.

The reasons why Mr. Taft failed
so signally as a polite leader of
the American people can all be found
in single paragraph Of the speech
he made in New York Saturday
night:
i have had so muca to do with ac-
tual government in the administra-
/ ton of justice. In the working out
and building up Il government, as in
the Philippines, and in trying to
make a government better in Wash
ington that l cannot join in the glow
ing promise that government action
can remedy all of the evils OF power.
t., sin, disease and ignorance as set
forth in the prospectuses of an am
bilious political party
As an answer to Socialism this may
be convincing, but it bears no rela-
ton to the great movement that
wrecked the Republican party, swept
Mr.. Taft out of the White House and
made Woodrow Wilson President of
the United States. It seems incred-
ible that even at this late day Mr.
Taft should have no understanding
whatever OF that movement
The American people are not seek.
ing 4 government that will remedy
all OF the evils of poverty, sin, dis
ease and ignorance. They are seek
ing government that does not fos-
ter and encourage poverty, sin, dis
ease and ignorance. They are seek,
ing a government in which the dice
are not loaded for the profit of a priv
legged few. They are seeking a gov
eminent that is popular in fact as
well as in name.
Practically all the evils that they
are battling against are protested by
law and buttressed in government.
Every predatory orgal lization is
sheltered behind law that grants
special privileges, Every predatory
trust is sheltered behind a law that
grants special privileges. Every tar
in-eXtortionist is sheltered behind a
law that grants special privileges,
Every great corruptonist is sheltered
behind law and government. Every
crooked legislator is trying TO enact
law for privilege Every crooked ad-
ministrator is administering law for
privileges. Every corrupt Judge is IN
tcrpreting and applying law for priv
ilcge.
Every notorious abuse in this coun-
try is committed by government or
in the name Of government or under
the shield Of government and when
the people demand that government
cease playing tAyorites, the President
cynically informs them that they can
not be made healthy and happy by
law
\ man Sc incapable of understand
ing the political thought of the Amer
lean people was loredoomed to fail
ura. 4 man so incapable Of sympa-
thiziug with the great mass OF his
telIow-countrymcn could never make
himself leader In surveying the
ruins OF his administration, Mr.. Taft
has only himself 10 blame. He is the
sole architect Of his own misforjuucs.
