1908 Taft wa. forced down the neck of the republican party by it's then dictator, Theodore Roosevelt. His nomination in that year was a fine example of boss rule. MT. Taft made a pretty poor president for a while He was so persecuted by jealous lieutenants of Roosevelt that he took refuge in the camp of the republi- can reactionaries and spoilsmen. By the middle of his term, however, he had regained his poise and he was his own man. Thereafter he was a president for the whole people, and a very good, brave, broad one at that The 1ieutenants in turn inf1amed Roosevelts jealousy, causing him to turn against the president of his own creation and the party which would not reverse the verdict which he had compelled it to bring in.
 Taft took his defeat with so much smiling philosophy that he began i'm mediately to win his way back into the hearts of his countrymen. Show ing no resentment himself, he soon disarmed resentment in others and had an opportunity to be taken for what he really is. Much in request as a writer and speaker for the last two years, his views have impressed themselves on the country as .un. commonly mmon-sensible, being. backed by exact knowledge and as- permeated with shreWd optimism. So far has the reaction gone in Taft's favor that there are men who ask: Would it be strange if the Cleveland precedent should be followed in the case of Taft and the country re-elect a president whom it had once repu- diated?' Stranger things have hap pened but from the present outlook it would be wiser for the republican party to seek new leaders for 1916, keeping Taft among the elder states men--with Theodore Roosevelt should Roosevelt bring forth fruits meet for repentance.

 There has been so much said durin;, the last year or two as to the value of people ceasing the use of any article, the price of which has been increased untll 1t drops again, has been adopted to large extent and that probably more than anything else is the reason for the decrease in the sales of bread. The price of the ordinary loaf has gone up from five to six cents and the loaf has become smaller.

There are of course others who de- clare that there is no legimate req son for the increase in the price of wheat at all, that it is all due to spec ulation and that there is no remedy for such a situation unless it be through governmental interference. This sounds more like the truth than that the high prices are due to the greed of the farmers. If the rise is due to artificial causes then everyone has kick coming because then it is in the power of the government to put a stop to it. i

The Murder of a Priest.
CWaterbury American.)


 The ghastIy murder of Father Ze- bris in New Britain must out. How can such a crime be concealed? :? There must be many among his friends who knew his life was threat ened who have a suspicion os to the source of these threats or a knowledge of what his suspicious were. There appears to have been talk for long while that his life was in peril. From whom? Witnesses testify that he talked about it but said he was not afraid. Others bring evidence that he was afraid at least at some par ticular time Common as hideous crimes are among some of our foreign elements this one has the additional horror of deliberation It was and carried out with cruel energy.
 Two northern men of wealth were brutally murdered in Florida. The whole state is running the murderers down, the governor offering a reward for the arrest and conviction. It is a matter of state feeling, partly busi- ness. Northern men Of wealth are not to be discouraged from coming into Florida by fear of murder. This Connecticut murder Is not > ,al mat ter. All the resources of the state ought to be applied to the discovery of the murderers of Father zebris and their punishment.

PROSPERITY COMING.

December exports over imports were $152, 100000. or the largest ever known. The January figures, yet to come out, will be even larger. Par tial returns for the first week in Feb ruary indicate a balance of exports over imports of $44, 100000. This is at the rate of $1sO, 100000 per full month and above $2,OOO,OOOO a year, and President Farrell of the United States Steel corporation has said that the practical assurance Of a balance of at least s1,OOO,OOO 900 for 1915 ought to mean an unprece- dented industrial boom.-New York World
 The spring is coming and with, it the hope that business will revive and the old conditions be restored. They have been expected for a long time, and while the evidence is strong that their coming is near at hand there is additional good news in the above paragraph It indicates what the country had been told is com ing since the passage of the new tariff law which, the administration Sdlu WOuld De just what is now com ing to light. The predictions of big business have been a boom for this year and it looks as if their prophecy is about to be realized It will take all year for the people and business men to recover from the depression of almost year, but even at that it is good to know that an opportunity to recover the losses will be given.
 Prosperity this year will also have an effect on the political affairs of the country next year when there will be a presidential election. Those in- terested in large business interests say that the boom will extend over next year and if it does it will mean a most interesting campaign. 1t will give an advantage to the democ- racy and will place it's opponents in a position of being unable to present the old tariff issue in the old form because the answer to it's usual ar raignment will be the busy factories and the prosperous conditions of the country accompanying the era of prosperity that will then be in prog ress. Present indications all point in that direction.

Appreciation of Mir. Taft.
(BuffalO Express. ]

Next after the president who has a prescriptive right to the center of the stage, the most quoted man in the country today is William H., Taft This is an honor which he has wrested from Theodore Roosevelt. Yet, two years ago today MT. Taft and his party occupied the other end of the scale, having just suffered at the hands of MT. Roosevelt and his party, the most overW h elming defeat in the history of politics. Man and party have come back in marvellous de- gree. The result of the last election shows that the republicans now out number both the democrats and the prOgressives. The progressives hold a nominal balance of power for the moment. They are too weak to do anything by themselves and are rap ldly dlS1ntegratlng. Nlnety-fiVe per cent. of those who have fallen away from the progressives have returned to their former allegiance as republi- cans. The same proportion will hold true for the remnant, which will have republican party has been as con- disappeared in all but name by the time the next presidential election comes round. The recovery of the plete and swift as it's defeat And neither event was unexpected
 The republican party suffered in 1912 not for what it did in nomi- mating MT. Taft for president in that year, but for what it did in nomi- hating the same candidate in 1908
 By 1912 Taft had earned the right to be president. His title to the nomination was as clear then as it was four years earlier when Mir. Roosevelt nominated him. In fact, the steam roller worked leas rep rehensibly in 1912 than in 1908. In

Hobson will be out of it at the closing of this season. They shall meet shall our able statesmen, and they shall miss him, like as not. At least he won't be there for two years, perhaps never again although one shouldn't go too far to worry about that. But perhaps worrying wouldn't be in order, even if permanent retire rnent of the kissing captain were as- sured; he leaves many able success sors on the job to worry about our national defense. There is Gardner in the House and Lodge in the senate and a number of others of less pro- minence and advertising ability, who are willing to sit up nights to worry and view with alarm. They may not sec the same thing HobsOn saw, which was the yellow peril, but they can see enough in any direction to prove this country Is lacking in pre- paration for eventualties as the dip- lomats say, and that aud able bodied power can whip Us with one hand tied behind it. and that there ought to be a law.
 So long as tferc is a war raging, even while this country clings 10 It's neutrality, there will be excellent op- pcrtunities for tho r1ilitalists tD sit up and shout that wo haven chance, and that an alien enemy would find us easy picking, compared with what has been going on in Tu- rope. They can furnish statistics to prove that we haven't big gun a'nmu- nition enough to salute the flags of all the nations now involved, and that our navy is weak sister and our army g minus quantity Not only that. but they will, nt frequent inter- vals. and some may be reelected on such a platform. But those who arc should give the HoE Hobson credit for starting something; he played lone hand in that game for quite while. and managed to get by with it. Also, he played it when the world was peaceful. and many said there would be TO more great wars Hobson was right and they were wrong about that, and Hobson may he right about thc rest of his alarmist notions.

The New Britain Murder.
{ Hartford Times.)


 The New Britain murder was ter rible. All murders are terrible, Of course, but this one has about it more than the usual atmosphere of mystery and cruelty. The killing came with out being seen and they vanished ap- parentIy into thin air. They Killed, apparently, without hot blood or pas sion, but with greedy ruthlessness.
 We hope their crime will not De added to the list of those which have gone unexplained and unpunished. This list is already too long in Con necticut. It's study sometimes makes us wonder If, with the change in pop ulation, we have provided ourselves with sufficient protection for our lives and property Safe blowers can oper- ate with impunity in Middlesex coun- ty. Our memories tell of many other offenses, some of them capital, Tor which no one has paid penalty.
 Not to capture and punish the New Britain slayers will be not only to baffle justice, but to strengthen the evil impulses latent in many minds, because it will emphasize the pos abilities for gratifying the passions of avarice or hatred without cost and perhaps even with profit.
 And we are almost tempted to wonder if hanging will be quite good enough for those fiends who, after slaughtering the clergyman, pursued the wounded, terrified woman through the house broke down the defenses she closed against them, struggled with her until she was helpless and then butchered her.

up with their imaginations turned toward war. It means that they are to grow up in the atmosphere of the camp, and learn martial music, mar tial terms and martial principles. It means that guns are going to hold first place in their thoughts as means of settling international dis putes instead of justice and arbitra- tion. It means that they are going to grow up with the constant thought before them that men of other lands are not their brothers but natural enemies. For when boys are trained to shoot you have got to train them to shoot something. AS matter of fact, in military training human forms are used as targets Prof. Vernon Lee Kellogg of Leland Stan ford university says in Beyond Var that he found soldiers among the Cal ifornia woods shooting at targets made in the form of men and remark ably resembling Japanese. That is what military drill is going to mean, fathers and mothers. It is going to change the whole character, the whole idealism of the next generation. It is going to give us new type of American-the military. Prussian type, instead of the industrial, cos mopolitan, democratic type.
 ( -IAgHin, let us never forget that mill itdnteiu, is the eternal foe of demo- cI2kND Every increase of army or navy fs a direct blow in the face of der11ocracy. Democracy is the diffu- sion of power among the people. Every increase in armament central izes that power in the hands of the government in most countries is the hand of a few officers of the govern nlent. Many who are urging vast navies and big armies on the country know this, and it is their fear of democracy more than their fear of outside enemNs that actuates their frenzied appeal It is time for the United States to take warning. Every tbattleshi6 every soldier, means so much more autocracy, so much less democracy. Militarism and demo- cracy cann2t exist together. Remem- Der how Helpless the German people were in the Zabern incident last year. We happen. to have president at Washington who belives in diffusion of power. We can concieve of man being president centraizing the na- tional power in himself. If he has a great army and navy, what can the people do or say? Every new soldier means an advance toward that.

What People Can Eat.
Baltimore Star.)

According to some of the reports that are sitting through from the inner regions of the war territories great ingenuity in the use of scien- tific knowledge in extracting food employed. There are many articles good for human food, and wholesome food at that, which under ordinary conditions are not drawn upon at all. There are the angle worm the gra ss- hopper, and fully a score of plants not ordinarily used as food which. properly prepared constitute nourish- ing foods. It is perhaps only the most desperate and resolute sort of appetite that would stand for the earth worm but they have been eaten even by highly civilized people and when properly prepared are said to be not so bad Why should we be squeamish about the angle worm when we eat the oyster, stomach lungs and everything but the shell?
 As to grassh oppers, they are an an- cient delicacy and are yet so regarded hy many races who know what's what in the way of good things to eat. All the grasses that are eaten by animals have nourishing juices. Glover and green timothy possess higher food quality than cabbage or potatoes. Boiled to tenderness they would pre- vent starvation. There have been famine periods when human beings have been obliged to eat field grasses and wild plant roots.

Socialists Do Not Like Insinuafions
 and Innuendos

Editor Herald:
 am .pf&Rpted in view of the in- sinuations and innuendoes against the Socialists to ask a few questions of a rather pertinent nature, which I hope in justice to the Socialist party you will give spacesin your paper.
 Do not the newspapers in general seek to convey the impression that, as the Rev, Father Zebris had spoken against socialism, they were to be re- garded as the probable fiends who perpetrated this crime?
 Did not the reverend father speak in opposition to the Masons, the liquor interests the gambling interests and other interests. that were thought to be a detriment to his flock? If so why play the searchlight upon the socialist party as the perpetrators of this fouf, deed? The Rev. Father Bojnowskf promises to point out the man who has sent threatening letters to him and to cause his arrest as the man who may be the guilty man in the recent tragedy. and we, the mem bers of the International Socialist party are confident, as members of that great peace movement, that when found the culprit will never be able to say in truth that he is one of us who desire peace and amity and not bloodshed and disorder.
