q The Taft Gossip.

II Mr.. Taft stands for the repub-
lican nomination for the presidency it
will not be as Ohio's candidate or as
Connecticut's candidate, but as the
candidate Of the country-at-large, so to
say. His term in the White House
made him national quantity and gave
him national consequence in party
matters. He is thus removed from the
favorite son class. he, needs. no such
organization as favorite son does.
Mr.. Taft Is very much in the, picture
now as an advocate Of q league Of ma
tions. He does not accept except as a
basis the plan Of league brought by the
President from Paris. He would
change that in some particulars, and
indicates them. He thinks a workable
and effective league can be formed,
which will not be repugnant to Amer
ican institutions or retard American
progress. '%
The presidential. gossip about Mr..
Taft does not grow ont Of this activity.
It was current, and growing, before
the war came to IN end, and q league
Of nations such Is is now proposed was
suggested. s~s.
The fact is :hat for year or more
Mr.. Taft's name has often figured in
presidential speculation. A remark
frequently heard has been that in 1912
he did not receive square dead; that
he was the victim Of a factionism which
he did not originate or encourage; that
his administration was not tried on its
merits; that, upon the whole, he served
we'll in the presidency, and was en-
titled to an Endorsement at the polls.
It is true, however, that, notwith-
standing the concession Of these points
by many republicans, the drift was
toward Mr.. Roosevelt for next years
republican leadership.
Has ,Mr. Taft become stronger a. the
result Of Mr.. Roosevelt's disappear
ance from the feldi The question cir
cmates, but is as yet unanswered. No
body seems to know. Many are Curl
ous. The only things certain seem to
be that talk about the former Presi-
dent is abundant, and that his strong
points arc now remarked by men who
for .. long time either did not know
them or were not willing to confess
them. ~ -. =: .s.r-

A two-day fight from Ireland to the
American mainland is believed to be
feasible. Some estimates put the time
Of transit at lower point. Some Of
the plans contemplate midocean stops
for replenishment Of fuel from a
"mother ship" The original fight
plans of several years ago involved
the use of landing points in Greenland
on the northerly route and the Azores
on the southerly. Those now engaged
in the preparations for this greatest Of
the flying tests look forward confident
ly to straight flight without stop and
approximately along the present steam
er lanes as attainable.
When the transatlantic fight has
been demonstrated regular passenger
service may be developed. Both the
airplane and dirigible are now COM
paratively safe and dependable in op-
Grafton. The war has developed them
to such point that straight flying is
not regarded as hazardous, and it is
by no means visionary to look forward
to an early transatlantic service by
air, perhaps by both methods.

in the matter Of appointments to Of

An expression Of this sentiment oc-
Cured at once after the Inaugural
ton. In The Star of March Is, 1869,
Is the following:
Disappointed Office seekers are
bowling over what they call the
nepotism of President Grant in ap-
pointing relatives or members of his
military family to office. Now, We
think it rather to the credit of the
President that without circumlocu-
tion or affectation he surrounds him
self officially with immediate friends
and those whom he knows Of his own
knowledge to be deserving and reli-
able. Every President is supposed
to look after his friends, but by the
theory of some this should be done
coyertly and indirectly. as if it were
something to be ashamed Of. Presi-
dent Grant, with more manliness and
frankness. openly appoints those ac-
ceptable to him, and who have been
true to him. to position, and more
especially to Offices in what may be
called his own official household. In
this course he follows the course of
straightforward Andrew Jackson,
who never failed to take care of his
friends"

concerted the conservative elements,

Gladstone had grouped about him. In
The Star of March 16. 1859, this mat
ter Is thus discussed:
John Bright. it seems. has already
begun to make discord in the Eng
lish cabinet by the freedom with
which he moots the most trouble.
some questions. He insists on going
to the root of matters. With regard
to pauperism, for example, he wishes
his colleagues to inquire not merely
what is its amount, but why it exists,
limiting that the monopoly in land is
one great cause of it, and that an
other is the fact that the burdens of
taxation fall upon the poor rather
than upon the rich. This is touching
the sore Of England and it makes the
average Englishman vince and shud-
der. Again. he is said to oppose the
ratification of the purchase of the
telegraph lines by the government,
at a valuation which many declare is
40 per cent above their real worth:
and he is strongly against the pur-
chase of the Irish railways. There
are other Quarrels in the cabinet. but
this with Bright is the most serious
one. It is suggested in some quarters
that it my lead to his retirement
from Office, but we doubt il. The
Gladstone ministry cannot afford in
the start to quarrel with Mr.. Bright
and his influential backing in the
liberal party. The members of the
cabinet will doubtless fight out their
battles in the. council chamber and
keep up a harmonious front before
