any great extent. Nothing has
happened to change the sentiment
in other cities throughout the Terrl
' torv which have always favored thr
present delegate; on the contrary
his passage of the home rule bill
has lncre.\sed their admiration for
j him. In fact the only claims that
j als opponents had to base a cam
paign on was that he had not
secured the passage of that bill,
which leives them without further
??rtr.j'nent.
i This is a fair siatement of eon
it ions
The following editorial e <tll|kate
of William Howar.l Tuft is taken
from Collier'* Weekly. It is a
fair ramming up of the weaknesses
of the genial president:
"He thought that the Interpret
ing of statutes was all there was
of life or office The spirit of the
limes went by him. He lacked en
ergy; in repeated public addresses
he used stronger wonls than Roose
*t?lt ever did containing certain
abuse* of the court*, but the bene
I ticiarte* of those wrongs never wor
j iled; bin M a single speech from
Roosevelt In private life they flew
into panic. Taft "meant well feeb
jlj." The public did not feel strong
ly toward him he never inspired
*>> robust an emotion as hate. Peo
ple didn't think of him as an easy
going man in a strenuous time, one
to whom ease and sleep were more
attractive than the strife that was
necessary to keep his foothold In
the unhurried quiet of some In
ferior bench, minutely comparing
tweedledee and tweedledum, his
flaws might never have come out,
and he might have ended his years,
not with any particular glory, of
course, but certainly without oppro
brium The country blamed his en
1 vironments to be what they were;
r>olllver's epigram crystallised the
public conception of Taft: "A large
amiable body, closely surrounded
by persons who know exactly what
they want." Some pretty grave
I faults In his character came out;
' for example, his participation In
the forging of a public document to
escape the embarrassing consequen
ces of a false position; but the pub
lic thought of this as the petty
subterfuge of a feeble man rather
than the hie wickedness of a male
volent one."
