Every step if real progress that One' makes ii creases his influence and gives him additional value to so ciety. The man wl o goes around with a Uriah Heep ty >e of humbleness is a man who need 3 watching every step of his way. Some people put themselves to an unconscionable amount of trouble to make thamselv ?s unhappy, when they ceuld be as Mi .hesoroe as a lark with but half the fffort. It shows what a distorted vie w of life one may get. The Charleston Evening Post says "appreciate ju.it how wrong Taft was in vetoing the wool tariff revision bill it is to be considered that even Hemphiil, in he Richmond Times Dispatch cone emns the President's course. . . Every child is entitled to be born into, wholesoi ie surroundings and fair opportun! lies. But the sad fact is that multitudes of children are brought into .his world with all the moral and other conditions against them. If one trip ; and falls because of some mistake what is the use of re maining do* a and fretting. Far better to get up again, and, learning wisdom from the mistake go forward with more ca ition but not with less Tesolve to w?u What the iure food law properly enforced mea..s for the people is now better undentood than ever before and with the -esults of increasing the conviction th.it it should be applied with greater and not less effective ness.' The e fort to oust Dr. Wiley has done this much. Some husl ands never realize the -good qualities of the wives until those wives i re in their graves. They spend so much time in associations other than (hose of the home that they have 1 ttle knowledge of the faithful, toling (patience of th^eir wives or the needs of their families. The rasce lities being brought to light in Was hlngton goes to empha size the growing opinion that no de partment of :he entire system of gov ernment is vithout some need.of at tention, by nquisitors. It begins to look as if tl.e whole thing is run in the interest of the trusts and tariff barons. ' -? ^ The exan pie set by idle sons of idle rich fa;hers makes one realize what a bless Ing it is that most people are born p tor or with but limited means. If x>me of these multi-mil llanairs me:, rould be seperated in time from t ieir wealth and compell ed to earn their living it might be possible to make something decent out of them Like others heroes have their weak point. Thrt of Achilles was in his heel, and t ie^ present visit of Togo Is this country shows that his is his stomach. I Admiral Rojestvensky had only k lown this and could have made some arrangements with Togo's cook the battle of the sea of Japan might have had a different ending. Napoleon s said to have lost the battle of I eipsig ^because his dinner disagreed vrith him. The corript practices bill that has passed Con ?ress ought to accomplish something in the line of political purity.. T ie immense sums spent by some cand dates for office has been a scandal in more ways than one, one of the nietest things that hither to the mai. with the long purse has had an ad1 antage over his poor com petitor. The placing of a limit up on expenditure and publication of ex penses pricr to and following an elec tion will reduce that undesirable fact to a Minimum. The now editor of the Saluda Times who has only been In harness but a few months has already found out "that :'ou can't please everybody because: Good people will say you might be greater than you are and band people will insinuate that you are not an good as you pretend. If you please the proud you must flat ter them; if you would please the ty rannical j ou must submit to their wishes; if you would please the sel-j fish and ambitious you must con sent to b< their tool. i Another Taft Journey. President Taft is going West again in an endeavor to persuade the peo ple of that abounding section that his a dministration of the government is best for their interests. Hist jour ney, it is said, will be almost as ex tensive as was the one made Pzt 1909, after the enactment of the Payne-Al drich "tariff revisions" measure, which he attempted to justify before the country. The Charleston Evening Post says "the results of that tour were scarcely such as to encourage a new undertaking along the same line, but Mr. Taft evidently thinks he may do something, by his personal appearance and appeal, to move a sentiment in the We?t favorable to his interests. The prospect is far from promising, to the critical obser ver. "The president appeared before the country in 1909, less than a year after his election to office on a plat form pledging downward revision of the tariff, to justify the enactment of a tariff law framed up by Senator Aldrich to prevent the very purpose of that pledge, and most successful ly framed for the purpose of its auth or. Mr. Taft bad approved that measure and had given it tue force of law. He took the stump to justi fy, it, and he claimed that it was the best tariff Jaw ever enacted by the Republican party. His famous Wi nona speech, in which he extlted the standpatters and riddled the real re visionists of his party, gave consider able of a shock to those who had hoped for a serious effort on the part of the President to bring about a re duction of the tariff. "It was the general opinion that Mr. Taft did not improve his politi cal credit by that swing around the circle. The next fall the country re turned a great Democratic majority to Congress, sent several Democrats to the Senate, and unmistakably de clared for true revision of the tariff. The President responded to the de mand to the extent of rcom mending to Congress at its regular se3Bion the adoption of a reciprocity agreement he had negotiated with Canada. Con gress, being in the control cf his own party, that is to say, being under the domination of standpatters, failed to ratify the agreement. The President [then called the new Congress into j extraordinary session to consider the reciprocity agreement, and the Dem ocrats, being in control of the House this time, and having an increased representation in the Senate, - the agreement was ratified, though the rank and file of the Presidents own party opposed it. "The reciprocity agreement is good enough as far as it goes, but it goes only a little way toward relieving the burdens of the tariff upon the av erage consumer. The Democrats of the House, taking seriously and faith fully the commission given them by the people, preceeded to proove tar iff revision, real and direct, and, by coalition with the progressive Repub licans of the Senate, there was laid before the President first a wool re vision measure, and, second a "far mers' free list bill," designed to counteract, so far as the farmer was concerned, some of the imagined ill effects upon agricultural Interests of the reciprocity agreement. The Pres ident vetoed both measures, out of hand, saying tnat nothing, should be done toward revising the tariff until the commission appointed to investi gate the whole subject had made a report. "Mr. Taft therefore goes before the country on practically thft same rec ord he had In -1909, when he made his long tour. He will undertake to convince the people that his adminis tration has been doing all it could do, and all that should be done, to reform the tariff laws of. the coun try and relieve the burden its places upon the cost of living. He has a stout piece of work cut nut for him and it is more than likely that the road to Democratic control of the government he began so well in his tour of the country in 1909 will b brought into some understanding of this the very next year daring the life insurance investigations. And now it Is learn ing more about the matter. ' And now, says the Springfield Re publican, the country is Deing mov ed to'ask whether this contribution of the Steel corporation to the cam paign of 1904 was mentioned at White House in that famous inter view of the panic of 1907, when the representatives of the Steel trust sought from the President Executive indulgence for the acquirlMon of the great Tennessee-Coal anr' Iron prop erty, which they had no right to ask, [ and which the President had no busi ness to grant.
