Taft tHc Heir- Apparent. Although some persons with nore enthusiasm than judgment have organized a "Roosevelt Third Vena League," they have not succeeded In enlisting President Jlooseve't in the movement. The administration's candidate for 1908 has been formally announced. It is William, H. Tall. Mr. Taft gave out the news on December 29 in the form of a statement purporting to be issued with the benevolent object of relieving the Secretary's friends among, the "Washington correspondents of the burden of putting further inquiries to him. I wish to say," observed Mr. Taft, "that my ambition is not politic!- that I am not seeking .the Presidential nomination; that I do not expect to be the Republican candidate, J. to. re other reason, because of what seem to me to be objections to my availability which do not appear to lessen with the continued discharge of my official duties; but that I a.ii not foolish enough to say that in the improbable event that the opportunity to run for the great office of' President were to come to mo f should decline It, for this vould net be

true."

Of course, this announcement would not have been tssind wiiiiout the approval of President Roosoveltand It may be takm for granted now that all who desire to please the President in politics will lfne up behind Taft. The President's enemies have understood the situation for sor.ie time, and have been quietly pre;f.iing to combine all the antl-Admurs-

tration elements against the Sccietary of Avar. Senator torakars deter

mined campaign f-r :hi restoration of the discharged nej;ro soldiers of the Twenty-flftk Infantrv has been Inspired more by a desi;e to evict the Roosevelt Taft dynasty at the rfxt demise of the crown than 1 love for

the negro, fond though tho Senator always has been of the colored broth er. Mr. Foraker has had Presidential aspirations of his own, but wsiv-th

er there be, even In his own mind any possibility of realizing th?m or

not. ha knows that in th2 narrower field of Ohio politics Ills tenure of

power depends upon keeplas Mr. Taft out of the White House. At present Senator Foraker Is the Republican boss of Ohio, but he could not expect to hold that position under President Taft. As far as political machinery goes, the enemies of the Administration are now in a position to grind out an anti-Taft delegation, but nobody knows how long that machinery will last after the voters get ready to say whether they are for or against Theodore Roosevelt. The anti-Roosevelt elements in the Republican party are resorting to the familiar device of grooming "favorite sons" in the various States to cut into the strength of thi leading candidate. They are nursing the Fairbanks boom in Indiana, the Shaw boom In Iowa, and even an incipient Knox boom In Pennsylvania, and a tender Burrows boom in Michigan. They are confident that they have already secured a mortgage on the Southern delegates, who will constitute nearly a quarter of the convention, and with the -Northern SUtes controlled by the Senatorial r.iitiRoosevelt junta they count on almost a majority. The anti-Japanese sentiment is depended upon to suing the Pacific Coast against the Arlurn istration. But although the hostlles looking at the matter v.ith the practical politician's eye to the effect of patronage, believe that every day thai brings the President's term nenrer its end will make him weaker, there are no signs as yet that his iopularity among the masses, especially lu the dominant Middle West, has at all diminished. The above editorial from the current number cf Collier's Weekly has sized up tho political ritualicn as regards Prudent Roosevelt's choice for the next president in a very clear and coau:icin? way. if President Roosevelt comes out openly and throws his support to Mr. Taft, nothing In the world vlll prevent the latter's nomination and election by the people of the Uited Slates. Mr. Taft In coming before the people of this country for election to the highest office they ca.i triva and lcc-m-mended by President Roosevelt, will have no ne?d oZ elaborate political machines. The recommendation of the squarest president we have ever had will be suf::cicnt to unite all the incorruptible voters of the country into ono vast political macMr.e to secure his eljoiion. Personally we would much r.itlier have President Roosevelt run for re-election in 3008, but in view of Ins repented Jenl.ds that he will do so, wo fuel porfe..iy secure in supporting any man whom he believes will follow i,i hi-? footsteps in tho light fo. the return cf our government lo it3 real owners, the people. If Preside it Roosevelt has confidence that Mr. Taft will arry on his great reform worK ;his country's voters will bacs that confidence up with their votes. That Mr. Taft in looming up as a presidential possibility is not unknown to tho people of this land. They know him for his great work in bringm order out of chaos in the Philippines. Nor do they forget his recent work in Cuba alter the fall of the Pal ma government. Mr. Taft has earned the fi?eudsi)p and 'confidence of the inhabitants of both these islands by Mis fair at.d square dealings. He has already sluv.n that he can and will govern wisely and for the best interests of the many and not of the few. It was at 01 e time reported that he would not have much support if he ran for president owing to his fight vith Seraor Foraker and the corruyl Ohio rclilical machine. To our mind the fact that Mr. Taft is not in good accord with a political tnach'.ne of 'he tex ture of the one Forake.; is 'ce lead of, is but another reason why the people of our country ria have confidence in him. We have become educated to political machiu'.'S and Lave learned that the best men are not necessarily members of them. Wc all know President Roosevelt isn't a member and that he has Given 113 the squarest government we have ever had.

SIXTH DISTRICT EDITORIALS.

We have been looking over some of the country exchanges and have been impressed with the loyalty of some of these papers to their fwns. Has it ever occurred to you that the home newspaper never loses faith in its town? That it always boosts, and sometimes when there is littla to boost, and if every other man in the town were as enthusiastic as the editor what a hummer tho town vould be. And then have you thought how miserable, unlikely, uninteresting a town would be without a newspaper? Yet In spite of this fact one of the first places the average man ictrenches Is with the newspaper. He will beg the editor to boost, boost, boost, and with the same breath order out his ad. The interests ot the business man and the editor aro identical and they should be the best of friends on a reciprocal ba.sis. Wo have a whole lot of admiration for tho country editor who floods his columns with town praise and then gx's out to make his peace with a mortgage holder while he returns to a needing wife and hungry baby.
