traffic into disrepute in the early days
OF the machines in Vermont, poor repu-

hicles have striyen to live down by rea-

a Kansas City man remarked that he

thought he didn't take the opportunity
ia 1912, Taft is reported to have asserted
with finality that a chance to vote for
him is past for ever. The average poll
tician would have looked mysterious,
hcmmed and hawed and closed by utter
ing some cryptic remark that might have
been twisted later TO suit his convenience
Taft is not a politician; he approaches
more nearly the standard OF the states
man. Moreover, he means what he says.

WAYS, on recommendation OF a states at

pursue when the operator is found to be

THE BRITISH CABINET REORGAN-
IZATION.

While considerable storm of disap.
proyal has been raised in England over
the alleged shortcomings of Lord Kitch-
ener as a director of Great Britains war
policy there nevertheless is a strong I'M
dercurrent of conviction that he is too
good man for the British cabinet to
lose at an important stage of the war.
Indeed if the facts were known, possibly
if would be found that the adverse crit
cism of Kitchener was merely localized
and could be traced down 10 compare
lively small number of people in the
United Kingdom. Therefore, British peo-
pie will doubtless learn with satisfaction
that Lord Kitchener has been retained as
secretary for war under the reorganized
cabinet and that the war policy which he
has been largely instrumental in build
ing up will be carried out in its main
features. According to the writers who
have frst-hand information of Kitchener.
he is not a man given TO explanations or
excuses and is not over.willing to be
communicative in any matter, which
NAV have brought hostil.
ity upon himself from some British PEG
pie who have been following the progress
Of the war. But even If that be not the
rase, IL seems certain that the great mass
Of British people feel more pronounced
confidence now that they know Kitchener
i to be retained. Certainly the govern
nent feels that confidence, else il would
not have retained Kitchener as secretary
Tor war.

smaller size. AT any rate, Quincy is to
