MR. TAFT AGAIN.

Judging by the language of certain newspapers,. and a few—very few — more or less public men, one might think that, there was real danger lest the American people should condone Germany’s recent violation of the law of nations the law of humanity. They need feel no anxiety on that score. But we think that they might well ask themselves whether by their heated utterance they are not making the task of Mr. Wilson vastly more difficult. Apparently these fierce warriors have little idea of what the duties of a President are. Not venturing to instruct them, we feel that we may well turn them over to a man who has once been President, and who is now a school-master—-the Hon. William H. Taft. I n his trsly great speech at Philadelphia

Wednesday night, Professor Taft said: We inlust bear in mind that if we have a war, it is the people, the men and women, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters who must pay with lives and money the cost of it, and therefore they should not be hurried into the needed sacrifices until it is clear that they wish and know what they are doing when they wish it. For this reason every Presl dent, with a respect for his oath arid the rule of the people, will in moments of popular excitement and just indignation pointing to war, act as a brake, —will caution against haste—will hunt for some escape from the horrors of war consistent with dignity and patriotism, knowing that if no other alternative exists congress, in its constitutional power, after time for deliberation has disclosed the real popular opinion, win act. A demand for war that can not survive the passion of the first days of public indignation and will not endure the test of delay and deliberation by all the people, is not one that should be yielded to. The lecture is brief, but it is also clear and weighty. We commend it

most heartily to “the gentlemen-in-a-hurry.’’ No man fit to be President of th cl’nit ed States would assume any oilier attitude than that outlined by jir, Taft, and thus iar maintained : y .Mr. Wilson. One of the great disbetween our political system and that of G< r;tmny is that with us the people can not—if the President is true to dur system—be cc omitted to war by the government without being first consulted, and giving their consent. „ Had Mr. Taft been a member of the Wilson cabinet, he could not have supported the President more heartily, or shown greater confidence in him. Fortunately the support is due, and the confidence deserved. The country, therefore, is to be doubly congratulated. For in Mr. Wilson it has precisely the sort of President that ft should have at such a time as this, and in Mr. Taft it has an exPresident who has fairly earned their gratitude and respect by his wise and patriotic words in these critical days. Both men are bravely and conscientiously performing the duties that their positions tnrphsWbh the m A nation, like a man, ought to bo able to leeJ a sense of outrage and anger without at once rushing to arms. The war now raging, in Europe ought surely to have taught us that lesson—-as we believe it has.—lndianapolis News.

Commends President Wilson’s Philadelphia Address.

It would be easy to pick flaws of one kind, and another in the President’s address at Philadelphia; but in one respect it is above criticism; and that is in his interpretation of the new spirit that has come into the world on the subject of war. The rightfulness of /car as a last resort in a good cause is conceded by all thoughtful men; but within' the last few years an awakened spirit of humanity has become alert to the ’protest which the poets and philosophers of nil time have put up against the barbarity and the awful cost of these demonic struggles for princely power, for territorial aggrandizement, for commercial; supremacy. The noblest use of power is in its restraint. And our President has exemplified this quality of restraint in the face of provocation in a striking way ever since he took up the , responsibility of his office. Today he is embodying it more impressively than ever. before and, if we take into account the popular clamor, going .on all around him, against far greater pressure than ever to take up ths sword. Perhaps it is too early yet to say whether he is more nearly right than those of his critics who call loudly upon him to act. But at least it is permissible to hope that time will yet show that a nation may reveal its greatness and nobility of soul by holding on to peace as well as by rushing on to war. It is hard to see where We could derive any tangible benefit from entrance on this titanic struggle. Perhaps it will also turn out Jhat self-interest and high ideals coincide.

It is in these attempts to express and realize the higher spiritual aspirations of our people that the President appears at his best. We can all applaud his sentiments and sympathize with his aims, even when we can not be sure he is right as a matter of verile national policy; but as opposed to the passions of war and the obviously inspired pleas of the political opponent, his brave and sober words must meet an answering response in’ the hearts of all true American citizens, who wish their country to be great in thought as well as in action, and to lead men out of the miseries and enslavements of the past into the blessings of the thousand years pf peace,,—-Indianap-olis Star. , '

Suit Is Ordered on Primary Law.

Indianapolis, Ind., May 12.—Suit to set aside of the 1915 primary election law which would operate to disqualify thousands of independent voters from participation in the nominations, will be brought under the direction of the Republican state committee. That action was decided on at a meeting of the committee at the Hotel Severin; yesterday, it being the purpose to attack only a part of one section of the act and not the entire statute The Fub-committee, appointed some time ago to look into the validity • of the section, made a report to the state committee, recommending that the suit be brought as-soon as possible, in order that it may go through the legal proceedings with as little delay as possible. The section to which the Republi cans are opposed is a part of Sec. 10, which specifies that a voter may be barred from participating in the primary unless at the preceding election he supported a majority of the candidates of the party with which he desires to affiliate at the primary. That would bar not only a large number of persons who supported The progressive party in the 1911 election from voting for republicans in the’ nominations, but also: would bar a large number of democrats, particularly in Indianapolis, from participating in —the—deinor-raiio primary. W It is known that a large number ot democrats did not vote their party ticket at the last election and they, as well as the progressives who desire to affiliate with the republicans, would be barred from participating in the primary.

Infection in tne Air.

Kids and Goats of Today.

There are stiH folks so old-fash-ioned as to remind us now and then that a kid is a young goat. But if language is acknowledged the right of growth, is it not high time that :he general modern meaning of ’’kid’* were given some standing? It is called colloquial, but its use is universal. It is called slang, but 1. ft. were nothing more it would have been dead long it is growing. -Staid elders-are using the word which they formerly scorned. The number of times “kid” is pronounced for application ,to a young human .is about 10,000 to every single time it is used to designate a young goat. But the justification for “kid’’ is not in usage alone. Is not a child everybody's goal? Hasn’t everybody a license to speak peremptorily to a “kid"? Don’t the “kids” run all the errands? Are they not assigned to sleep .on the floor when company comes to lodge? Who says a “kid” is not a goat ? There are “kids” who, until they grew up, never knew a chicken had anything but a neck St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Don't Be a “Grouch.” Many persons acquire a reputation for crankiness and grouchiness when their dispositions are not to blame. Peevishness, irritation, morbidness, biliousness, melancholia most often are the result of impaired digestion and torpid liver. Foley Cathartic Tablets make you light, cheerful and energetic,—A. F.
