Now he has died after closing an emi nent career as chief justice in which he gained the highest approval of the American people. Partly it was a correction of a too extreme judgment on the part of the people ; more it was appreciation of Mr. Taft in an office where his true fitness could be seen. Taft went into the presidency with the praise of possess ing the judicial temperament, but this type of mind was : poorly placed in the days of Rooseveltian barn-storming and ; grand-stand play. Amiable, indecisive, a poor judge of the popular psychology, Taft as president was really a failure. But in the years that followed opportunities came to him for the development of the real talents for public service which he possessed in marked degree, and he rose magnificntly to those opportunities. As professor of law at Yale, Mr. Taft was a large public figure. He was called into non-official service in many lines. During the war he labored with diligence in support of the president, in Red Cross work, in constructive peace activities. -Then as chief justice he showed a constructive conservatism, a resiliency of mental outlook which his previous association . seemed to deny him. The fear for Mr. Hughes as compared with Mr. Taft is that Hughes is a rigid puritan type of mind while Mr. Taft was more pliable, more elastic in meeting the problems before his court. One important service which Mr. Taft rendered was in the direction of judicial reform. He did not let his official position bind his views to endorsement of things as they were. Instead he was a valorous contender for modernizing of court, procedure, cutting of technical red tape, shortening of time in litigation, and making rules the tool of justice and not of thwarting of justice. Probably the most interesting event in the Taft career v.as his break with Roosevelt. He was the creation of Teddy, but not his creature. What was the cause of the rupture be tween the two friends? Was it jealousy of T. R.? Was it Taft's treachery to Roseveltian policies? Was it personal pique? H. H. Kohlsaat, once editor of the Chicago Record Herald, has a chapter in his book "From McKinley to Hard ing," entitled "The Break Between Roosevelt and Taft." Kohlsaat gives Roosevelt's story of how the breach came. The colonel told him that when he was leaving for Africa, Taft sent Archie Butt to see him off and to tell him that he (Taft) felt very grateful to him (T. R.) for helpine him win the I presidency, that he "owed his nomination and election to me (T. R.) and his brother Charley." Roosevelt took offense at the addition of "brother Charley." Again Taft failed to return Roosevelt's friends Jimmie Garfield and Oscar Straus in the cabinet, after having prom ised Roosevelt he would do so. Later when Mr. Kohlsaat visit ed President Taft at the White House and the matter came up of the discord between T. and T. R., the cause of which Taft professed not to know, Kohlsaat asked about the Butt mes sage and Taft replied "But I didn't send any such message ?' and about the Garfield-Straus appointments: "But I didn't promise to appoint them." Taft then showed Kohlsaat his correspondence with Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Kohlsaat writes: "Colonel Roosevelt's letters were bo at variance with what he told me the day before, I was dumfounded." Mr. Taft instructed his family not to publish these let ters until after his death. Needless to say, the public will read these letters With keen interest unless their publica tion is postponed so long that those who were of age in those stirring years, 1910-1912, have passed from the scene. The country genuinely mourns William Howard Taft. It had come to love him, and his conspicuous service to his coun try leaves us all greatly in his debt.

They had coma down from the mount of transfiguration, had met the multitude In the Talley. Christ had driven an evil demon out from the son of a distracted and appealing father. When the group turned to go to Jerusalem, ana would have sojourned for a night In a Tillage of the Samaritans, the dwellers of the town would not receive them, "Because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem." So Christ went to some town farther on. The Samaritans con tinued to reside in their smug self-satisfaction. They had up held their sacred traditions. Old prejudice in the name of religiou orthodoxy had driven away the vivid, life-dispensing Chrlst-per sonality. "For the Samaritans had no dealings with the Jews." Thank God, there is some ' oth er village" which Is more toler ant. There is some spot like Prov idence Plantations in the dead of winter with Narragansett Indians for neighbors, to welcome a Roger Williams driven out by an un yielding puritan theocracy.

HENDRICKS- "M-U-IVr iL the Word rpHE Dalles Chronicle asks why it is that the leading X mg newspapers published in the city of Portland are so loud in their editorial silence regarding the finding of the referees in the Joseph and Mannix disbarment proceedings. Perhaps they feel, like The Statesman, that comment is im proper while the issue is still pending before the supreme court. Many other papers over the state have had editorials on the subject, evidently not feeling any impropriety in dis cussing a case where the decision is still pending. But it must be remembered that the opinion of the referees does riot represent final judgment. That must be meted out by the supreme court itself after giving the defendants further cpportunity of being heard. The Chronicle asks some rather embarrassing questions on the failure of the Portland dailies even to refer to the cases on their editorial pages. The Telegram might have some reason for silence because it aided and abetted the campaign against one of the court justices. One might think the other papers would "chortle with glee" over the discom fiture of a rival newspaper's major drive in 1927 and 1928. But they are perfect clams on the whole episode. The insin uation of the Chronicle's comment is that fear of loss of Meier and Frank advertising may be the silencer for the editorial writers, Mr. Joseph being reputed to be extremely close to the M. & F. organization. If such were the case it would constitute the worst case of violation of the ethics of journalism apparent in this state in many a year. We do not believe such an inference is true; both because we haven't euch a low opinion of the Oregonian and the Journal, and because we think no such penalty would be exacted if fair and frank comment were made. Here lis the Chronicle's comment on what it terms the "mysterious silence:" "Whatjnysterious power, then, Is causing the Portland press to keep silent on the topic now of greatest public interest in Oregon? Are there not boasted traditions of , independence and fearlessness to be upheld? Are not subscribers entitled to know the opinions of their daily purveyors of wit and wisdom on so serious a situation? "Or is it possible and this thought is almost too sacrilegious for publication that business office interests have something to do with it? Could it be possible that department store advertising ac counts of great bulk are being- used as a club to compel silence? Could' it be that Mr. George W Joseph, even though publicly found guilty of unethical conduct in the practice .of his profession, is still o powerful that the Portland press dare not criticize him?"

The n resent hranrh traces its ancestry from Ireland to America, tnrough great-grandparents, David and Margaret Denny, who settled In Berks county, Pennsylvania, previous to the Revolutionary war. There Robert Denny, who later served in this war, was born in 1753. In early life he moved to Frederick county, Virginia, where In 1778 he married Rachel Thomas, and in 1790 moved t oMercer county. Kentucky. There John Denny was born May 4, 1793, and was married Angust 25, 1814. to Sarah Wilson, daughter of Bas se and Ann (Scott) Wilson, who was born in the old town of Bla densburg, near Washington, D.

The former belonged to Washington's command at the time of General Braddock's de feat. "John Denny was a soldier la the war of 1812, being in Colonel Richard M. Johnson's regiment of Kentucky volunteers. He was also an ensign in Captain Mc Fee's company, and was with General Harrison at the battle of the Thames, when Proctor was defeated and the noted Tecumseh was killed.

'John Denny donated twenty acres to the United Brethren church for school and church pur poses, about 1855. It Is on this eronnd that the St. Hnnifae Catholio church and parochial school now stand. 'It Is thought John Dennv was affiliated with the United Breth ren. His youngest son, Wiley was a member of that church, though Fletcher Dennv was a Methodist minister, In those days called a circuit rider. He was born in In diana on November 10. 1819. and married Frances Garrett.

But the day ot union is far distant, because, like the Jews and the Samaritans of old, differ ent groups cling to their Individ ual beliefs as God-inspired. If Christiana are not able to agree among themselves how can they decry Intolerance of other faiths? Would Christ have to seek some other village, some other church. it he came among groups of his supposed followers In this day? We know not the name of this other village; perhaps it was as pro-Jewish as the spurned city was anti-Jewish. And there are sects like that. They condemn intolerance In other sects; but wrap robes of self-righteousness about themselves. Before we praise the "other village" we should know whether it Is friend ly from tolerance or from sym pathy with our own ideas.
