it's entirety with some more appreciation of Wat
terson's skilful pen He says
Hats off to William howard Taft! The Presi-
dent who goes out today did surely find Jordan
hard road to travel! He that journeyed from
Jerusalem to Jericho found not harder
''Injins on the upper way,
And death upon the lower.
every mile beset with peril; the tariff sink-holes;
the Ballinger morass; the Pinchot ambuscade,
though Of pop-guns, exasperating if not murder
GUS; the yaWning chasms and impossible CULTS
Of progressivisim, as, still surviving, he came
down the home STRETCH the Jersey Steeple-chaser
forging ahead and finding a bridge over the bodies
OF the slain piled up in the ditch which Roosevelt
made.
Hats off to William Howard Taft! He was
called to answer many sins not his own. There
is something worse in this wicked old world than
defeat dishonor All the Teddys on top O. dirt
cannot lay that of humiliation upon the
back, nor press that cross OF shame upon the
brow, of William Howard Taft. He'll is full of
desecrated friendships; broken pledges; unex-
plated sins and unacceptable mistakes; but
heaven has still one halo left for him, HE Done
His Duty as He Seen It, writ all in letters
Of living light.
Hats off to William Howard Taft Long may
he live to show what ex-President ought to bel
Nature herself may stand uncovered and exclaim
Behold Man!'-Miami Metropolis.
What the C0u1ier-J0urnaz prints, other
equally orthodox Democratic papers reprint.
Almost the entire Democratic chorus is
HATS OFF TO Taft"
If Taft is such man-tO-b e-hOnOred, why
was he not given a second term?
If he deserves so much Democratic praise,
just after the election, what allied him, Just
before the election?
Why do the Democratic papers which
assailed Taft and defeated him, now cry
"Hats off TO Taft?"
Is it because he left all the poor criminals
in the penitentiary from which he had liber
ated all the rich ones?
Is it because he tried his level best to deliver
Alaska to the Guggenheim- Morgan gang, and
that CLAWS and Pinchot defeated the steal?
Is it because he allowed the Sugar Trust to
gobbe up, 6e5oD cost, the Friar lands that
Taft had paid the Friars seven million dol
lars for!
Is it because Taft sent Archie Butt to his
death, in the execution of secret mission to
the Pope?
Is it because Taft elevated a Jesuit to the
Supreme Court of the United States Jump
ing the Jesuit over the head of Protestant?
Is it because Taft broke his campaign
pledge, and revised the Tariff uplcdrd, instead
Of downward?
Must we take off our hats to the President
whose breach of faith doubled the cost of
living, added billions of dollars to the mon
strous profits of Special Privilege, reduced
innumerable people to restitution, and e1Or-
maously soocz1ed the hosts Of poupeJy, proStj-
tuition and crime?
What is the inner truth about all this after
election praise of Taft!
Answer: To cause the people to lose indig-
nation against the Taft policies and measures,
in order that the Wilson-Blyan administra-
ton may the more safely tread in Taft's foot
steps.
Hats off to the man who vetoed the Farm
ers' Free-list bill!
