A few flowers and ribbons will do the rest. * We are heartily in favor of naving the date of the President's inauguration changed from March 4 to the last Wednesday in April. We may qr never get to Washington to an inauguration but we are not mean enough to want to see the day spoil- 1 ed by bad weather for those that are. Moreover, some of these days ^ the United States will lose a Pres ident from pneumonia if the date is not altered. Mo.< parents will iejoicc with Mr. j aid Mrs. J. tot, la r\ r here covery > t their little : . o :oi ...w .miius or kicinappers. And yet all thinking per- 1 i sons must regret that it was neccs- ] sary to pay the outlaws the $10,(XX) ' they demanded as the price of the child's safe return. Such a payment constitutes an increased inducement to lawless men to steal the children of other parents and subject them to equal anxiety and suffering. i l According to entirely reliable sources of information President | Taft has determined to take no | ar t1 in the framing of the tariff bill, to , give no advice regarding individual 1 schedules or specific duties and to , , become involved in no controversi ies with special interests. The President calmly asserts that he has J troubles of his own and that he sees > no reason why he should shoulder 1 the burdens of Congress as well. He r has, however, assured the leaders of j his party that he expects them to I j | enact a measure which will embody j ( ? 1 -. ? L _ I . iai ILL I CVI5IUII rflHl hi rnc j t same time produce sufficient rev- J enue to carry on the business of the i country, and that any other he will i veto. Moreover, he has made it r plain that if when the Payne bill is nearly completed it does not promise to conform to these conditions. t Congress is likely to hear from him 8 with a strong recommendation of c some form of income tax, most 8 e probably a tax of 2 per cent on the a dividends of corporations. There ? is something refreshing about a President who assumes this calm, judicial attitude, who leaves Congress to work out its own salvation as (1 tl best it may and quietly awaits the t< result, only uttering a gentle warn- * ing that failure to do its duty will n occasion the condemnation of the country and the veto of the Presi- in dent.
