"The cause of all the discord and
dlsastlsfactlon and resentment are
not In New York and Massachusetts,
but here In Waahington, where con
trol of affairs has been turned over
without reservation to men whom the
public has refused ' to trust and to
predatory interests against the exac
tions of which the public Is appealing
for protection."
It is the Washington correspondent
of the Republican Philadelphia North
American who writes thlB. *
President Taft has not only allow
ed himself to be guided largely by
Aldrlch, Hale. Elklns. Cannon and
men of their type, but has been ex
ploited as their champion. Though
it did not meet his demands and was
merely a compromise in which the
high protection "standpatters" re
tained the advantage, the Payne
Aldrich Tariff law has been warmly
defended by Mr. Taft. He has gone
out of his wfly to eulogize Senator Al
drlch. and only a few days ago he
was Induced to go to Aldrlch's own
home and there again Identify him
self with the Rhode Island Senator
and declare his bill "the best tariff
law ever framed."
"If this strange face-about is due
to Mr. Taft's theory that he is the
head of the party aryl therefore
chargeable with all its acts," excfblms
the New York World, "it Is the most
surprising Instance of ?elf-sacrifice
that oul political history affords! The
people were willing to acquit him of
the tariff fiasco. He has made It his
own. They were Inclined to believe
that Payne and Aldrich had fooled
him as well as them. He has done his
beet to ahift the blame from their
shoulders to his own."
Mr. Taft seems not to understand
that Aldrich and his clique of reac
tionary Senators are as thoroughly
discredited in the public mind as are
Cannon and the old machine that has
ruled the House. The great masn of
Republicans are quite as "Insurgent"
as the Democrats. The Chicago Tri
bune ha? polled the Republican and
independent editors of the country.
It finds In the east 789 against Al
drich. Cannon and the high tariff,
and only 197 sustaining them. In the
Went 77.1 per cent, are against them.
2 2.9 per cent, for them; in the South
62.8 per cent, opposed to them. 37.2
per cent, upholding them. New Eng
land shows the greatest surprise, only
39 Republicans and 3 independents
favoring the old leaders and policies,
while 184 Republicans and 57 inde
pendent announce thenfselves as "in
surgent."
In Ohio such progressive Republi
cans us former Secretary of the Inte
rior (Jarfield and ez-<3qv, .Myron tJ
Herrick are sp*^Ung out boldly |
against the extravaga>?*Nt the high I
tariff, the reactionary tendency of the I
Taft administration.
"?*V All thin is in the highest degree
significant. Mr. Taft seems deter
mine^ to Identify hlnmelf and his ad
ministration with Aldrlch, Cannon,
Hale. Payne, Lodge and the old "boss
es" and "reactlonarins" of the Sen
ate. He heard from some of the vot
ers in Massachusetts a few days ago.
He will hear from the rest of the
country next fall, ? Baltimore Sun.

Yet, still, what does It Involve? Is
It simply to remain a subjective Qual

A person may be very unlovely, and
utterly incapable of responding to
your love, and yet you may practical
ly love him. You may pity him, you
may yearn to do him good.- You may
be willing to do nearly everything or
anything to better him and yet you
might not be able to associate with
him. You could not live in the name

This puts a face upon this loving
business, this fraternity sentiment,
these brotherhood obligations that,

notions which men have of their rela

MINISTER AS EDITOR. |
The other day in California the
Rev. Maicoltn James McLeod, a Pres
byterian clergyman, who soon will
undertake ministerial duties for a
New York congregation of large
wealth, edited one issue of the Pasa
dena Star. He entered the editorial
offices with the young vigor of an un
daunted conviction that nothing in
I the nature of the newspaper business
presented an obstacle to a man of in
telligent theories, even though the
details of execution were unknown to
him. i
Mr. McLeod did his day's work,
and the profession observlng*(he fruit
of the labor of the amateur can say
that be did it well, but here is the ex
pression of his revised convictions:
"My time is now almost up as I
pen thiB last line; my head is almost
paralyzed; my brain is befuddled, and
I am free to confess that 1 am right
glad to vacate the holy spot. Such
rush and riot and disarray. Such a
jumble and potpourri. It strikes me
as the daily effort to bring order out
of chaos, and to do it lightningly
quick, I am reminded of the memor
able words, * The earth was without
form and void, and darkness was
upon the face of the deep. And the
spirit moved upon the face'-iof the
waters." Never shall I criticise news
paper men more. I shall pray for
them. They will have my heart's for
bearance henceforth tfnd forever, the
hardest worked, shortest lived, poor
est paid brain workers on this old
world of ours."
Heterodox as it may be. one is al
most forced to believe that the same
law of selection which In the long
run puts men into the work for which*
they are best fitted and gives that
work the best available may even
operate in the production of news
papers. We do not wish to be rash
and will not Insist that thiB is bo, but

One Mr. Shemwell of North Caro
lina wantonly qhot $ citizen who was
ta peaceful performance of bis avo
cations. The criminal was convicted
by a jury and sentenced by the court
to a term of imprisonment. Gov.
Kitchln suspended the sentence on a
surgeon's certificate that the convict
was In bad health and needed treat
ment at Hot Springs to fit him for.
life in jail. Whereupon Shemwell
stayed at home and walked the
streets as usual, trusting to his
wealth and influence to enable him
to defy the law with ..impunity.
Months have passed. The outlaw Is
still at liberty. Further clemency is
asked for him on the same old plea
and the Governor is urged to com
mute the punishment to a fine. Why
should the Government ask or care
whether Shemwell Is a well man or
not. He showed no concern for the
health of his victim when he riddled
him with a pistol ball. He has had
too much consideration shown him
already and Governor Kitchln will
have hard work explaining his len
iency to the satisfaction of a consti
tuency which is lawabidlng and looks
to the protection of the law against
just such outlaws as Shemwell. ? Vlr
