FOLK COUNTY OBSERVER TUESDAY MARCH Prominent Figures In Great Britain's Mining Strike TAFT LIKE CLEVELAND Resembles Other Big President In Indeoendence. "Another Cleveland." Is what Pres ident Taft has been termed during the past year. People who have studied h!a administration and his courag eous devotion to pledges of the plat form upon which he was elected have elven him this title. His absolute in difference to attacks of intemperate and irresponsible writers, his firm ad herence to what he considers the best Interests of the whole country, and his disregard of the varying political currents, seem to justify this charac terization. The president la not a politician. He has, made this evident throughout his term by his refusal to take advan tage of every opportunity to boost himself Into popular favor. With the firm belief that the platform upon which he was elected meant some thing, and his earnest work to redeem every pledge made, he has been too t V- I . S , if I .

JD8 men left tbelr work because their employer refused to concede their demands, tbe chief of which was the establish ment of a minimum wage scale. Tbe cutting off of the coal supply erlppled the railways and manufactories and raised the price of food. The government made strenuous efforts to bring about peace between the mine owners and operatives, the premier promising the latter to Introduce a bill en tabllshing the minimum wage If tbey would return to work. Many of tbe wwieu iuo .mm as an occasion ror taking holiday trips or attendln football and pigeon flying matches.

He has been satis fled to do what Is best for the whole country, leaving the verdict to the public. Baseless charges are bound to fall to the ground; perhaps not today, but surely tomorrow. This was President Cleveland's at titude throughout his arminlstration. He was Independent and this won for him Intemperate criticism, even bor dering on vilification. To-day the American people realize the greatness of Grover Cleveland, Just as in the future they are bound to acknowledge the similar eminence among presi dents of William H. Taft. Signs of the turning tide are appar ent now. The press of the country is more inclined than (t ever has been, to grant the president a fair hearing. People are realizing to a greater ax- tent than at any time during the Taft Ug to C etiiig Mouse just what is the best time to make le"V? ny Um dUr'ng the Taft the second spray for the control of dmn'fation, that the work of the past mree years bas been for the ben eni or tne country as a whole.

Reanond lng, good fortune lies before, but If the beckoning hand Is disregarded, the summons never comes again. President Taft s start in a brilliant political career came in a most unex pected way. He was dictating a de cision of the United Statea Court in Cincinnati one afternoon early in 1900, when a telegram was brought to him from William McKlnley, then President, which read: "I shall take It as great favor if yon "111 call on me some time n.,f week." Judge Taft went to Washington and at tbe White House met the President and Secretary Long of the Nary. A little later Elihu Root. Secretary of War. came in. Presided Taft toirf j this interview later as follows; "Mr. McKlnley said he wanted to send me to the Philippines to help the work of establishing civil govern ment as the army moved on. I thought of tnj place on the bench and ! hesitated. Reside. I believed and j said we could get along without the Philippines. " "But we have them, and mui.t tai.. j care of them." the President replied. 1 on are at the turning of your j ta life.' Mr. Root then observed. ; nr ' the easy road.
