MIR. TAFT.

Mr.. Taft has been told thousand
times that he makes an ideal ex-
President. The approval of him Just
now comes not alone from those
voices which applauded nothing he
did when President. and which re-
gard the lex" before his title as his
most appropriate distinction; but 1t
comes from those others who have
from the beginning of mis- public
career regarded him as a worthy
successor of an illustirous line Of
Presidents.
The peopl, of America now un-
derstand Taft. There never was
anything the matter with him. There
was much that was wrong In the
partisan distemper which depreciat-
ed him and aspersed him and sent
him back to private life with the
stamp of n great rejection.
Some one once said Of Mr.. Taft
after 1912, that he was the best
liked. most abused and worst licked,
of all American Presidents. Certain
~ he is the best loved; II he was
the worst licked, not anything about
his conduct since 1912 has shown
that the sting of 1t survived. There
has been much about the rise OF
public respect and admiration for
him that shows that he deserved
better and that the people know It..
But bygones are bygones. and the
last man in America to want them
remembered to any ones disadyant-
age is Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Taft comes to Portland today
in pursuance of his great task q
self-appointed one, perhaps--of pro-
noting League of Nations--the
League to Enforce Peace. He had
it in mind when he was President;
heShas worked assiduously at 1t
ever since. even under discourage
ment from high places that have
very largely to be credited with the
leadership in the movement and for
the favorable sentiment in America
toward 1t.
Mr.. TAFT is out of tune with many
great men In his party for his ad-
vocacy of league of nations; and
he has not been much considered or
consulted by the leader of the op-
posing party about it. But 1t has
made no difference to him. The
welfare of his country was first in
his thought; the peace of the world
was more important than all else.
So he has hewed to the line.
Mr.. Taft is welcome. doubly well
come to Oregon and the Northwest.
For himself, the people extend to
him 4 cordial hand; and for his
cause they are ready to express
their hearty interest and support
