PRESIDENT N1XR UsNDR. Faced About on Tarin Question When it Was Too Late-To Reconcile Differences. Columbia State. Washington, Aug. 25.-"President Taft has at last decided to play a lit tle politics, and he is, as usual, mak ing a blunder," said a reformed Re publican formerly of Cincinnati, to this correspondent today. "He seems to forget that the worst kind of prac tical politics is for a man to face about. It may be that a wise man sometimes changes his1mind, and that a fool never does, as the saying goes; but it's bad politics, nevertheless. for a leader to change front absolutely." The remark was brought about by the news that the president after hav ing declared that the Payne-Aldrich law is "the best tariff law ever enact ed," is now in favor of further re vision of the tariff. Carrying the thought further, the former Cincinna tian said: "Taft has been claiming that he did not feel that he could, as president of the entire country, take part in the po litical campaign of his party for the election of representatives in congress. He has also gone on record as con sidering the Payne-Aldrich law the best tariff law ever enacted. Now he has come out in favor of further re, vision of the tariff. He has reversed his position on the matter, and at the same time he has gone back on his statements that he would not partici pate in the partizan struggle of his party; for everybody knows that his declaration in favor of further revis ion of the tariff is simply made for political effect. Will Have Opposite Effect "But my candid opinion is that it will have the opposite effect from that which it was intended to produce. The statement that the former declaration of the president,,Jauding the tariff law to the skies, was based largely upon the fact. that it contained a provision for a tariff commission is very, very lame. It is very late in the day for him to discover the reason for his statement in his famous Winona speech. All these months he has been understood to have been referring to. the actual provision of the tariff as applied to present conditions, and now, after the 'insurgents' have shown their remarkable strength, for him to try to make the impression that his admira tion for the Payne-Aldrich achieve ment was based oii the tariff commis sion provision--It is mighty late re pentance. People are not going to be satisfied with that explanation of a change of front, it seems to me. "Poor Taft, he has been influenced by the campaign necessities to make bad matters worse. It seems to me he has given the Democrats a good op portunity, in his efforts to straddle the gulf between the regulars and the in surgents in his own party." Trying to Get Together. It is generally regarded here that the reported intention of the presi dent to recommend further revision of the tariff, by taking up individual schedules and adjusting them to suit conditions, without touching the oth er portions of the law, is a move in the direction of getting the two fac ions of his party together. It is also regarded as* practically a confession that the party is in the worst.straits imaginable. Comparison is made to the case of Beveridge. He beca.ne an insurgent only when he found it was Jioecessary for his political salvation, raad now it looks very much as if he is 7oing to lose out after all. It is -pointed out that the president, as the head of his party, had no intention of n aking any concessions to the insur -gents until he discovered that the in surgents were rapidly gaining ground. in spite of efforts to crush them; and' thbat he, like Beveridge, Is making con cessions to the popular will only when he considers its necessary for the sal vation of his party. The comparison is carried further by the political prophets, and the defeat of his party, as well as the defeat of Beveridge, is freely predicted. And it will be due, they say, to the fact t'a'. political exi gencies brought about the change in front in each case. T. H. D. - TAFT WILL KEEP HANDS OFF. Rlefuses to be Drawn Into New York Political Fight. Beverly, Mass., August 26.-Indica tions continue to multiply here that! President Taft's participation in the New York State fight is ended for good, and all,.he will leave the situa tion to be inndled in its entirety by the party leaders, including Theodore 'Roosevelt. The president will have nothing to say as to candidates or platform. He is not a resident of New York, and does not feel it to be the province of the president of the Unit ed States to interfere or dictate in lo -cal fights. Mr. Taft was drawn into New York politics reluctantly. He was glad to lnd urged 11;on all ih minanc f trying to bring about an amicable ad jusunent of affairs prior to the State convention. This it appears was im possible, and now the fight goes to the convention. Mr. Taft will keep "hands off." According to recent callers at the summer White House, the president feels far more keenly than he let ap pear in his letter to Mr. Griscom., the false light he was placed in by anony mous statements issued from Oyster Bay and New York. The president had every reason to believe that leaders close to Col. Roosevelt knew exactly what his attitude and what his actions had been. This first had knowledge of the fact, it is said here, that Mr. Taft had done none of the under-hand things charged against him. It is pointed out here by Mr. Taft's friends that Lloyd C. Griscorn, chair man of the New York county Repub lican committee, who stood sponsor for Mr. Roosevelt was in President Taft's library at Burgess Point when. the president sent the long telegram to Vice-President Sherman, since made public, telling him to do nothing without the approval of Col. Roose velt, which in any way would involve the administration. Stop Cruelty to Horses. Anderson Intelligencer. A fe wdays ago a pair of horses was standing in front of a store. The sun was shining and the temperature 110 to 125 where the horses stood. Their heads were reigned up at an agle of 45 degress. The sun was blazing down in their eyes and faces. There was,no possible chance for the horses to shift their position. With a driver 3 to make them behave they were forced 3 to remain rigid as statues. There was a single horse driven 1 through the streets one afternoon. It was a beautiful animal. The young a people behind it seemed to enjoy the ride. They could turn their heads in any direction at will and were happy and comfortable. But the horse was in a veritable hell. His head was reined so high that he could not see where he placed his feet. He could turn neither to the right nor left. -The patient animal was forced to endure the torture. These are two cases. There are many others in the cit7h iT 3ay obsr' this special cruelty to horses any day. It is strange that owners of horses are so cruel. There is not a horse-. man in this city who can stand an hour with his head reined up in one position when the sun is shining down in his face. It is a practice which should be stop- I ped. The city council or any magis trate has the right to prevent cruelty to cats, dogs and chickens. But they permit livery men and owners of horses, through a depraved idea of 3 beauty to punish and torture fine horses, the perfection of all our do mestic animals. A horse owner who thinks it adds to the beauty of a horse to force his j head up and rein his neck into a I straight, stiff, unnatural line, has no more sense of beauty and attractive form than a blind man has of the j starry heaven. His ign,orance of what I beauty is could be forgiven on the I ground that he never had any chance* I to learn better, but his downi-right I cruelty, his torture of the poor un- I complaining animal will find no place for forgiveness while he continues to practice the cruelty. . How is a reform to be brought E about? We look to women for all best S initiative work. They do not often err IS on the side of cruelty, except to their husbands and they generally deserve all they get and more too. Let the wo- ( men say to husbands, liverymen or sweethearts, "I will not ride until a that check rein is removed." That e would tend to stop the evil. Let the city council go as far as the law will permit them and the abuse will soon be removed. It would be a slow process to instruct horse owners and drivers from an artist's viewe point and bring about a reform by im proving taste and refining the sensi bilities. What is needed now is a heavy club, wielded strenuously byE the mayor. That is the only short cut to bringing about a reform with heart-d less and cruel people.a The horse owner or driver who checks up his horses so that he can not move his head should be warned for the first offense and punished and fined for the second. Let the cruelty cease. It is a disgrace to a civilization that pretends to be humane and refined that it should continue. ** * * * * * * * * *S eSi * CHURCH DIRECTORY. * * * * * * * * * * * *Sc Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, c Rev.
