Only ta Hgorai ol t elmlauoa eontaiaea in us npsn e i k ft A PRE3UMPT10US? A communication from members of the Dublin Quarterly Meeting accuses this paper of falsifying In the report of the action of that body in demand tag the resignation of William X Trueblood. The correspondents do not Introduce any evidence to the contrary but content themselves with gentle phrases such as "presumption." "altogether misleading," "piti ably Ignorant" and to say the. least ."ungentlemanly." As the communication asks for a correction In the paper It would have .been more to the point on the part of the Meeting through its official mem bers to supply facts Instead of opinions, and epithets. It Is our opinion that the resentment shown by the members of the Meeting is largely due to the fact that they, had no wish to be reported and the statement of two of its members to the effect that such course is "presumptious," adds strength to our point of view.. This being the case It would appear that the Dublin Meeting is either ashamed of Its action or wished to stab Mr. Trueblood in -the back without the knowledge ot his friends. The purpose of this paper in having a reporter at the meeting was to defeat any 'star chamber' work, letters de cachet,' and the like entering into Mr. Trueblood's case as they " are said . to have done in the expulsion from Earlham of Professors Plerson and Mactaggart some twenty years ago.' It- was to give Mr. Trueblood's friends a chance to show their estimation of the' man by rallying to his support, and moreover in the general interests of fair play. ' presumptlous the truth of which can not be disproved! Harsh words from a source so conspicuously unfair (as witnessed in the Trueblood affair) are more acceptable than praise. The flood of enlightenment let In by the assertion that no matter comes before the Quarterly Meeting without being thoroughly investigated is hardly a matter for congratulation for the Friends in their subsequent action on the Trueblood affair. Think of having; all the facts and then acting in furtive fear and Infallible unfairness! ROOSEVELT'S APPRECIATION OF TAFT. . In spite of the rumors which, have been emanating from sources inimical to Theodore Roosevelt to the effect that he has quarrelled with Mr. Taft. etc etc. Roosevelt's appreciation of the character of the new president is one of the most striking tributes ever paid by one man to another. He said: "As solicitor general of the United States he won an. enviable reputation and succeeded to a remarkable degree in combining entire fearlessness la stating and upholding his own convictions with the ability to avoid giving needless offense to those whose conviction! differed from his. The combination of these qualities is rare. "There are too many in public as In private life - who will not stand by their convictions in time of stress and there are also not a few who. having the right convictions and the courage to stand by them, nevertheless put them .forward in the most offensive possible manner in the manner best fitted to prevent their becoming the convictiona of any considerable number of their fellow countrymen. It is one of Mr. Taft's great, gifts of usefulness that he possesses exactly this ability the abUity unflinchingly to stand ' by the ' right' and yet to do it with the minimum of offensiveness toward those who do not see matters as clearly as he does." He conclude .with this general tribute to Mr. Taft's qualities : , "No man of better training, no man of mere dauntless courage, of sounder common sense and of higher and finer character ba ever come to the presidency than wmiam Howard Taft.

a forecast of what the nation 1 to ex

pect and a recapitulation of the trials of Mr. Roosevelt himself. There remain little doubt in the minds of the American people that Roosevelt has always stood for the right but many have been of the opinion that he has not been careful in what he said. Most of us hdve liked it. As for the words of Roosevelt on Taft In their bearing on the future the public little realizes what a storm of abuse the president will have to shoulder. Tariff revision means quarrels of which all the blame will be laid on the president A man close to . the administration said the other day that Mr. Taft will be the most unpopular man in the country before the tariff question is settled. , It is well for the country then that we are to have a man of the charac teristics so described by Mr. Roose velt: ' VThe ability unflinchingly to stand by the right and yet to do it with the minimum of offensiveness toward tfose who do not see matters so clearly a he does." The characterization brings up also the question as to whether or not we really see the passing with Roosevelt of the Big Stick. An analysis of the Big Stick Policy would apparently show that Mr. Taft will be a morely likely wielder of this Rooseveltlan doctrine than was his predecessor. For Taft has always shown his ability to speak softly and be armed at the same time. Items Gathered in From Far and Near Humor of Congress. ' From the New York World. The sixtieth congress, in bad humor, is nearing its end. Honorable members of both houses lose their ; patience easily. Irate senators and excitable representatives gird at each other, at their officers, at the president even at foreign nations. Gavels are smashed to splinters, the solemn ceremony of "taking down a speaker's words' is proposed and the awful discipline of the "mace" is evoked. A committee is at work much of the time expunging unpleasant passages from the record. The Lobby. .,:.,.' From the Birmingham Ledger. The idea of forbidding lobbying is a futile one and wrong in principle. Any man has a right to go to any member of a legislative body and urge him' to vote for or against a bill. There is no wrong in It. Bribery and corruption is wrong, but lobbying is not. It would break, down any, administration in the world to enforce a law forbidding men to lobby with legislators. It is not only right, but it is a duty to lobby for some bills and lobby against others. May be a Mascot! From the Dayton News. Washington Is also, anxious to knew whether Mr. Taft is going to prove such a jonah to the ball team as the past few presidents have been. Washington is "It." From the Baltimore American. Washington always has been; on the map; now It occupies the main portion of these United States. Americans. From the Milwaukee Wisconsin. It was to be expected that American Rhodes scholars at Oxford would do well at the annual distribution of honors. In the first place, they are all picked students; in. the next place, they are all Americans. Not a Military Hero. " From the Boston Transcript. Mr. Taft will be the first republican president elected since the civil war without a record of military service! Who says we care not for the heroes of peace? TWINKLES Shrewd. !" "I suppose your constituents ask you a great many questions." "No," answered Senator Sorghum; "I make the first Question serve as the text for a four-hour speech, and then they are afraid to ask any more." Apprehension. "Do you think you will like the new administration better than its prede cessor?" "Well," answered the man who takes everything with terrible earnestness, "I don't know Just how much Importance to attach to these stories about Taft banquets. I'd rather play tennis and ride a horse' than eat alligator steaks." The 4th of March Parade.

We have ceased our agitation. O'er the future of the state; And on tariff legislation We forsake the fierce debate; We've reduced our zeal untiring Over things we wished to know, And we're eagerly inquiring: "Do you think it's going to snow?" Shall we make the navy greater? Shall a peril sweep our seas? For the citizens born later Shall we save the precious trees? Shall each demagogue who chatters Be persuaded to go slow? These are unimportant matters "Do you think it's going to snow?" Miners on tho Corner. "Those men," said Sherlock Holmes, "are collier. You can tell It by their attitude." The men, very clean in white shirts and black overcoat, squatted on their heel on a sunny corner. "Any other men," continued Holmes, "would stand. They would lean against the lamppost or the wooden Indian of the tobacconist. But these men, in the low galleries or tunnel of coal mines, for lack of apace must work seated on their heels squatting, as we say. And this position, which would become a torture to you or me in fire minutes, is to them, from long usage, comfortable and customary. It is their favorite position at all times. "Hence when you see men idling on their heels on the street corners you can always set them down as miners. If they are bowlegged the case against them is doubly strong." Buffalo Express.

But the policeman did not and could hardly be expected, to believe this. .He said it was hardly worth while to bring him from Dublin, and he withdrew in dudgeon. Yet the lady was not really the ghoot. He wa sulking in retirement; hence doubt has been cast on the ghosts of haunted houses even among reflecting minds. London New.

NEWBERRY ADDS EULOGY GALLANT TAR RESPONDS TO THESE PRAISES BY TELLING THE CREDIT WAS DUE TO THE OFFICERS AND MEN. Washington, March 4. "Not a ship has had a scratch," says President Roosevelt . in approving Admiral Sperry's command of the Atlantic fleet on its cruise. Secretary Newberry adds that the trip reflected great credit on the entire navy and Admiral Sperry in acknowledgement, pays tribute to his officers and men. The correspondence was made public yesterday. President Roosevelt's letter fol lows: "The White House, February 27, 1909. "Sir; I desire to express my earnest and hearty approval of the manner in which you have exercised the command of the Atlantic fleet. You have brought It from our home coast on the Pacific, westward around the world to our home coast on the Atlantic. Not a ship has had a scratch. "The whole fleet is more efficient than when it started. You have kept the ships, separately and together, so well exercised that they have Increased their efficiency in gunnery and In creased their efficiency in technical maneuvering. Real Ability Shown. "Moreover, you have shown real ability of an unusual kind In the way in which, in Australia and Japan you have represented this country, in what was. In effect, on one side, a great diplomatic mission. "In addition I want heartily to commend what you did on the National Coast Defense Board in 1905, where the work was of the very greatest importance. - "I also congratulate you upon the distinguished part you played, especially in connection with the work done in the discussion of maritime law, in Little Trouble and Expense Restores Nervous People."

The- restorative treatment is simple, and If followed will undoubtedly repay any one who tries it; and owing to the sensitiveness of nervous people, it is suggested that the ingredients be obtained separately and mixed at home.

the second peace congress at The Hague In 1907. "In short, your career during my administration has been such as to reflect honor upon the entire naval service. Sincerely yours, Theodore Roosevelt. "To Rear Admiral C. S. Sperry. U. S. N., through the secretary of the navy." In transmitting tbe letter to Admir al Sperry, Secretary Newberry said the navy department desired to add thereto its unqualified approval of the efficient and seamanlike manner in which the admiral had administered the affairs of the fleet during his com mand. Sperry Praia Officer. Secretary Newberry's letter contin ues: "Tbe fact that the cruise of tbe battleship fleet from San Francisco to Hampton Roads was a complete suc cess reflects not only great credit upon you as commander in chief, but upon tbe United States navy as well. "A copy of this letter together with that from the president will be placed on file with your record in tbe bureau of navigation." ' Admiral Sperry acknowledged Secretary Newberry's letter with profound gratification and said: ; "No officer could desire a higher reward than such commendation, and certainly such results would have been impossible except for tbe unhesitating and, constant support of the department and the ceaseless and loyal vigilance In the performance of duty of the officers and men of the fleet."
