The current of public opinion favor- able to the president s indeed note- worthy, not ounly strengthening the faith of those who have steadfastly re- posed contidence In Mr. Taft's high abilities, but also reflecting the tend- ency of those who have shown prema- ture leanings to adverse criticism. The democratic New York World, for example,’ even while predicting the election of a democratic congress in November, pays this tribute to Mr. Taft: In the final hours of the session he showed a capacity for leadership of which most of his warmest admirers had begun to despair. From a reluctant congress he wrung many of the most important meas- ures to which his administration was pledged, and he had good reason to feel “gratitied.” The New York Times, which has likewise been generally supercritical, says: Credit for the passage of some of the most important measures enacted at the session of congress just closed is due to the personal force and Insistence of President Taft. Considering the factional and re- tractory body with which he had to deal, which he had to constrain to his will, it Is surprising that he got so much done. The Brooklyn Eagle, while venturing the opinion that had Mr. Taft sooner exerted himself vigorously we would have had a more satisfactory tariff, is frank enough to say: Without & and without rever- beration, President Taft has accomplished more than Mr. Roosevelt did. Whether time enough between now and the next election remaine, to secure for this fact tavorable expression at the polls, must be awaited, The democrats are hopeful that time enough does not remain. The people may conclude that time enough does re- main, a8 Mr. Taft hopes. Along the same line, the Philadel- phia Times, which hag decidedly inde- pendent proclivities, is worth quoting as follows: We believe the president will receive de: served credit for what he has done in the way of placing new measures on the statute books. His methods are so dif- ferent from those of his predecessor that it takes some time to get used to them after nearly elght years of President Roosevelt, but the public is coming to un- it not be safer for each passenger to carry his own private bottle of anti- septic solution and, juset hefore ing his strap, sterilize it for himself? Manifestly, the strap is to be ever with us and we have long ago determ- ined that the germ must go. This Is the age of the anti-germ; we will tol- erate nothing that is known to contain bacilli. And scientists have told us that disease is most commonly commun- fcated from hand to mouth, that the hand is a subtle cesspool of germatic maladies. Ah, then, what of our money? Must we part with that too, or may we devise a means for cleans- ing in transit? Money passes very frequently from hand to hand—all too frequently sometimes. Perhaps after all “tainted money” s not an anomaly. We must be on the looxout. Demand & certificate of good health with every nickle, or do not take it. Here we have been hanging onto straps and money all these years, growing fat, rich and dying and going broke and never have discovered before that the hand reaching out for these life-stays is Impregnated with death-dealing germs. Hand-shaking, too, must go, for in every friendly grasp there lurks potential death. Truly, we are learning. Strength Rather Than Decadence. In an article contributed to the current Atlantic Monthly, the famous Ttalian historian, Ferrero, draws an interesting parallel between one period of ancient Rome and existing condi- tions in the United States. The point which he endeavors to make is that the spirit of puritanism, which in old Rome fought long and strenuously against the corruption of the Asiatic civilization and railed loudly at the tendency toward vice, debt, prodigality and extravagance, emanated from the same conscience, which, in our country and In our day, keeps complaining of the excesses and iniquities that beset us. The opinion of the United States, which is held in Furope, he says, is based upon the yellow journal descrip- tions of “the Neronian feats of, some multi-m{llionaire, the sultana-like cap- rices of some over-rich American lady, the statistics of divorce, the loud ex- cesses of some popular celebration, such as the suppers, with which the new year is ushered in, or the scandal- of its father's hand and killing it The Price of Po;l—l;l!y. ing papers, nothing else.

Although he does not say so, Col- onel Roosevelt would doubtless be glad it his ardent admirers would, for a while, cease writing letters and send- books and magazines to him, for he now has on hands enough correspondence to employ him steadily for six months in answering if he did Some of those who have thoughtfuly written the former presi- dent must not be disappointed, there- fore, it they do not get prompt replies. Mr. Roosevelt says he has 10,000 letters yet unanswered, 2,000 or more books nt for review, autograph or endorse- ment and heaps of papers and maga- zines and the mails are still bringing their daily consignments. The time re- quired to answer all these communica-~ tions would be great enough imposition on any man, to say nothing of the enormous expense involved in station- ery, postage and stenographers’ bills. It Mr. Roosevelt should choose not to pay ttis price for popularity, therefore, The gratification of such public es- teem must be neutralized by a feeling of impatience on the part of the re- Mr. Roosevelt has doubtless wished many times that his friends had a better brand of discretion at their It is not, as a matter of fact, the more thoughtful, earnest ad- mirer who takes this means of mani- festing his affection; we imagine it Is one of our American ways, though, of showing our good will and foolish as the way may be, men like Colonel The ery of today is for more strong It comes from the material world and it comes from the divinity school; it comes from the pul- Oberammergau have spell of right- tormances at thrown a powerful eous Influence upon thousands of people, spreading to the ends of| the world, If this be true, why| object to the extension of such an influence? It requires mo stretch of the imagination to believe that many minds will be impressed by this ple- ture in life that would never yleld to the appeals of the most fervent dis- course, nor even the persuading text of Holy writ. But the promoters tell us that the scheme is not primarily money-mak- ing; that they have bargained to pay these Tyrol people well for their ser- vices, aside frem all possible expenses, and they propose to use this money in erecting & new church in Oberam- mergau. So if the end justifies the weans, the commercial feature may have mitigation. A professor in Jolumbia university, who has been asked to hand in his res- ignation for good and sufficient rea- sons, charged President Butler with favoritism and partiality among the members of the faculty, for such only as would be “‘sples, sycophants and boot-licks.” Whether that proves any- thing against President Butler, it cer- tainly establishes the high qualifica- tions of the professor as a devoted teacher of youth. Mr. Roosevelt contributes an article to the Outlook under the caption, “The Management of Small States Which are Unable to Manage Themselves.” Mr. Bryan may be depended upon promptly to deny that there ever was, or could be, a state, great or small, unable to manage itself.

Boston Transcript: In calling for the resignation of the priest of the Church of the Annunclation at Florence, Mass., be- cause he had commended to his flock such institutions as ‘Harvard, Yale and Smith, Bishop Beaven of the diocese of Springtield was_doubtless acting within the strict rules of his order. But that a great many of the Catholic lalty sympathize with the views of the deposed priest is shown In their large patronage of such institutions. The rolls of Harvard constantly bear the names of many Catholics who are annually added to the ranks of high-class citizen- ship, and other colleges are more and more becoming the alma maters of students of that faith.

On a strap taken out of one car it was found that .01 gram, or started for New York he had many of these ideas and prejudices himself, and expected to set foot in & modern Baby- lon. But once landed in America, it was easy for him to see that in the legend there was great exaggeration. He has come to the conclusion, therefore, that the bad reputation in this respect, borne by the United States abroad, is similar to that of the early period of the Roman empire, when corruption was most talked about because thers was still a moral consclousness strong enough to protest against it. As a con- sequence the outcry complained of should be considered signs, not of de- cadence, but of strength and virility. ““All that 1 have seen and heard,” he declares, ‘“‘concerning the vice of great American cities, alcoholism, gambling, immorality, seems to be neither more nor less than what I have seen in any of the great cities of Europe.” But the explanation he offers is that in America the reaction of the moral consciousness against the progress of extravagane, corruption and vice, 18 greater here than it is in Europe, where the moral consciousness has for a long time been accustomed to con- sider all this as inevitable, and, for the present, at least, impossible to reform and, therefore, makes nd protest. Because there is still protest in Amer-|[* ica, but silence in Burope, superficial observers conclude that in the one place there is vice and in the other none, while in reality evil exists on both sides of the ocean; upon the American side there is still faith that it may be extirpated, and tnere is a will to attempt the work of purification.

Persistent efforts to misrepresent the president's attitude toward the Hughes rider on the sundry civil bill will hardly be effective, because the president's words dlways get such full publicity that it Is almost Impossible to make him the victim of misrepresentation In an affair of this kind. The president frankly opposed an attempt to pass class legislation by means of a rider on an appropriation bill. It is not labor strikes that he disapproves of, but the boycott, and especlally the secondary boycott, which has been declared illegal by the supreme court. He objected to see- ing the boycott exempted from prosecution in this indirect manner. Mr. Taft has been a consistent opponent of the un- American boycott throughout his public life. The American people, Including the most intelligent and fair-minded section of organized labor, has come to see that Mr. Taft is right. There is nothing In the Sherman law that prevents a body of men from stopping work, Wwhen dissatisfied with wages or conditions of labor. Thzre is nothing in it to prevent them from using faW means of inducing other men not to take the places they have vacated. What the s preme court has condemned as contra to law is the boycott, which seeks to pre- vent & third party, who has no relation to the strike whatever, from buying or sell- Ing certaln goods. They who invoke the secondary boycott, say: “We will not work for you. We will not buy the goods you make. We will not buy goods of the man who buys your goods. We will not do business with any man who does busi- ness with any man who does business with anyone who does business with you." And so on. It was the speclous attempt to nullify the supreme court d n against thls sort of thing by refusing to appropriate money to enforce it, to which the presi- dent objected with all his force.
