IAn'S GREAT SERVICE
SACRIFICED Personal COMFORT
TO PUBLIC DUTY.
Calmly Faced Defeat Rather Than
Lend Himself to Destruction Of
One Of Our Finest Traditions.

Tbs device of putting a friend in the
presidential chair to keep it warm for
the man who imagines he has the
place at his disposal is not original in
this country.
1t was successfully practiced by
Porfirio Diaz of Mexico. Diaz attained
the presidency of that country some
thirty-fiye 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
4 fifth term, holding the Office contfn-
ucusly until 1911, when he was driven
out by the Madero revolution.
Diaz gave Mexico a strong govern
ment, but Dolorez Butterfield, a 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-
ical abuses. but sowed the seeds of
the anarchy now rife there.
If President Taft had been as &C.
commodating as Manuel Gonzaif
would have had no Bull Moose" move
ment in the United States to seize the
presidency by 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
inest examples of the sacrifice of per
sonal comfort to public duty in our
history Minneapolis Tribune.

Some time before election a New
England proteetionist, 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 IL your bill reducing the tariff
IN 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. It shows that the Democrats
were playing politics and that Mr..
Taft's vetoes were justified.
There won't be any playing politics
about the tariff reduction to which the
Democrats are pledged That win 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.
