Further, Mr. Taft has waged effect

cheap loans for farmers, has advocat-

created a commission to investigate
the issue of stocks and bonds, and frauds at custom houses and by use
of the mails have been enormously
decreased. His vetoes of ill-consider

have been of the first order. Indeed

THE PASSING OF TAFT. The people of this conutry have said "good-bye" to William Howard ; Taft as president of tie United States and with that good-bye they cannot, irrespective of - party, help wishing v him well and retiring him from pub- - lie life with a godspeed. For though
- Mr. Taft has not been the greatest favorite with politicians he has been
one of the greatest and most highminded presidents that the country
has ever had. More constructive legislation has been brought out in his
administration than under any other ; and history alone will show Mr. Taft in his true light. Harassed and emharassed as no president save Lincoln has ever been, Mr. Taft has gone f calmly on his way doing what he thought was right, not what the other . fellow thought was right. He has " been a true progressive In every sense
: of the word and has never gone back for a moment. Indeed the third of
March, 1913, may become a historical ? date in America, for t may be the
' passing of the last republican prest-
" dent the country may ever have.
Such is not. probable but it is possible
. Taft is nature's true nobleman. The
biggest and kindest heart is lodged in
that massive frame. It is always in
' evidence. In the White House one . day last summer in the presence of
the writer, a tear stood in Mr. Taft's eye as the most incidental reference was made to a friend long gone, to the
. Other Side even when the president
was discusxins: serious business. ' That's why lie Is beloved.
But there is something else besides
heart to Mr. Taft. . What has he done you ask?
Well, we'll tell you a few of the
1 thlng3. He by means of the Payne
Aldrich tariff secured an average re
duction of 8 per cent. He created
Tariff Board, a Court of Customs Ap . peal, laid a Corporation Tax, improv
ed the Philippines and changed ; deficit to a surplus. He got th
reciprocity treaty trhough the Senate
and negotiated- arbitration treaties
with Great Britain and France.
The Sherman law has been enforced
impartially and effectively, and for
the first time offending officials have been given jail sentences. A Bureau
of Mines was established, the pro
THE NEW PRESIDENT.
Twenty-eighth President : of the
United States not alone of the demo
cratic party but of all parties and peoples, Woodrow Wilson is today
inaugurated at Washington chief magistrate of this great nation. He goes into the exalted office with the
better will of the people perhaps than
ed a far smaller popular vote than
what ' the Great Commoner W. J.
Bryan received when he was in the h eighth of his power. President Wilson's star is auspicious and fortituous, for the combined republican and bull moose vote would have beaten him badly. i We wish President Wilson well 83 does every other loyal citizen of the land and lover of his country. May
he not find one half of the thorns in
the path on which he has started.
It is our country and he is our
president. -. . '
A great nation today hails him
with a feeling of good will, mingled
with faith and some curiosity in his
personality. Ideals of good government are
stronger within a republic than
partyism, and because of this, the new executive may rest assured of a fair hearing. In the same degree that he exemplifies these ideals may he expect support and approval. A republic Is after all a theory, a form of government, which approaches the Utopian in that degree
in which the complex forces in it can
be harmonized. There must be lead-
re, and fortunate Indeed is that na
tion which has a leader for its execu
tive.
The leader must be richly endowed
with an acute sense of right and
wrong; his vision must penetrate be-
ond the confines of the realm over
which he presides; he must be actuated by the cause of humanity which
knows neither creed nor boundary line, for on such principles was thi3 government founded; along these
lines he must have convictions so positive as to galvanize the daMy life
of the nation; moreover he

IT'S PRINTED IN PHILADELPHIA, YOU KNOW. Some of the delayed correspondence of our old friend Sam Blytheof the Saturday. Evening Post, who . has been abroad for months studyingpolitical conditions, has been
published. In It Blythe declares that Polncare will probably refuse to become President of France, or words to that effect. Sam misses em right along. You will recall that after T. R. carried Illinois and Pennsylvania in the fall Sammy had published in the Tost an article which had been prepared weeks before declaring that the colonel had
no chance in either state. Blythe Is a high-salaried murter, though. Indianapolis Star. Yes, and we have another recollec
tion of the Blythe articles. A few years ago the unlucky Sam was sent into Indiana to write on the senate possibilities and he suggested everybody but the Hon. John W. Kern and any office devil In the state could have told gam that Jawn would get the toga. Sam is every bit as bad as Waiter Wellman.
