TAFT.
By the grace of clean, renown, un
disputed ability and perfect fitness,
backed by the ardent friendship and
cordial sponsoring of Theodore
Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, war
secretary of the nation, has been
named as the nominee of the Repub- J aSe-
lican party for the office of President
of the United States.
There are those who will urge that
the undisguised championship of the
President, has been mainly responsi
ble for the choice of Mr. Taft, and to
a certain extent this is true; but no
man may deny, successfully, the es
sential fact that the great Ohioan pos
sesses within himself, all the qualities
indispensable in the great game and
function of president-making; that as
man, citizen, scholar, jurist, diplomat
ist, cabinet officer, he is not equipped
superbly for the great post. If this
were not so Theodore Roosevelt never
would have endorsed him and her
alded him to the people as the best,
available man before them; nor, if
Taft's qualifications not of the
very highest order would the people
have suffered their President to name
him and counsel their support of him,
profoundly as the Americans revere
and trust their chief executive.
William H. Taft, by deep study
and ripened interest has mastered the
last detail of administration of admin
istrative life and processes; by asso
ciation and experience he has taken
over the wisdom of the tried and
proven; his mind and heart and hand
are trained to the pursuit and execu
tive of great duties; he has been too
long the trusted representative of his
famous chief, the man nearest the
core of American administrative life
and action, to lack insight and definite
knowledge of the tremendous trust
that now calls him.
Away up here in the far northwest
ern corner of the vast realm he
stands for, his name and character
are as fair and familiar as Roosevelt's
own; no one doubts, nor denies, nor
disparages him; his candidacy appeal;
with force and certainty and perfect
clarity, to every informed citizen of
this section ,as to those in closer
touch with him; he is the practical
and plausible candidate of the party;
not because Mr. Roosevelt has said
so, but because he is honored with
that officer's supreme confidence, as
the President himself is honored with
the undeviating and justified faith of
the American electorate.
Taft is no weakling, nor substitute
man, no stalking candidate; and we
waits upon him, or them, who shall
thus rate him, in, or out, of the presi
dency; that he will be devoutly true
to the policies established by the
present President need not be doubt
ed, for he has counselled them and
helped in the fixing of them, and will
adhere to them on the simple ground
of their justice and cleanliness and
wholesomeness, and not because they
are dubbed "Rooseveltian" by the
men who are squirming beneath the
pem.l power of their enactment. He
will be made president of the country
in due time and by a major vote that
vill mean much to him; as much as it
meant to his predecessor 31 months
ago. He is logically in line for the
great office, fit and ready for it, and
the people of the land are squarely,
and gladly, at his elbow. He will
make a great campaigner, and a great
President!.
structor of the G. A, R., Department
of Xew York, has fittingly described
the flag in these words: "The flag
we admire was born in the travail of
revolution; was crucified in rebellion;
sanctified in the blood of patriots and
glorified in its tripmph over tyranny,
It is the standard of civil and re
ligious liberty a promise of free
doma vesture of protection an as
surance of prosperity. Its every
ripple is a smile of confidence and its
wave of gesture of authority. Fol
lowing it embraces fidelity and cour
Assailing it brings desolation
and humility. For these reasons
and others the day will forever be re
vered. Exchange.
PLANS A WORLD BEATER.
A world beater without doubt will
be the battleship authorized a few
days ago by England, but for how
long will probably be determined by
Germany. The two countries are
such frenzied competitors in marine
affairs, along both commercial and
military lines, that the Kaiser is
likely to order a ship that will excel
the new leviathan of the British. The
battleship planned by the Admirality
will be of 21,000 tonnage and is to
cost about $11,000,000. Instead of
having 12-inch guns, such as the
Dreadnaught type carry, her main
battery will be composed of 13.5-inch
rifles. Another feature will be the
installation of gas engines to take
the place of steam. At the next
Hague conference the advisability of
limiting the size of battleships might
be a subject for discussion. It is a
fearful pace that is being set. Ex
change.
