WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.
No man has ever been elected Pr,-B'
ident of the United States who has
had the benefit of such a cours-e of
preliminary training as has fallen to4
the lot of WUliaw Howard Taft. For
nine years he has been the "Man Fri
day" of the republican administration
First governing the Philippine posses
sions; then restoring order In troub- j
led Cuba; inspecting afftirs at th?-!
Panama canal; taking a flying trip
around the world and meeting the F?u
ropoan diplomats. Whenever trouble
was afoot. Taft was dispatched to
quiet matters. Before embarking up
on the sea of politics Taft was in
turn a newspaper man. a lawyer and
jurist. Taft is bulk on a large and
broad guage plan, mentally as well as
physically; and the varied experience
he has undergone cannot but have
helped o broaden and make him
more liberal
Taft is a man of decision; h'
ha.t shown it more than once,
and h> showed it three weeks
ago when he r??fused to let
ltoos??velt dictate as to who the '
members of his cabinet would be.
Again Taft Is a man of easy goinK
temperament ? quite different from
the strenuo.is and nigh pressured
Roosevelt. He is genial, persuasive,
and possesses to a great degree the '
telft of ? Jollying " Wlthall he has
a certain amount of dignity and when
he wants a thing he usually gets It.
Taft is not radical; ? neither is he i
conservative. He has progressive
"leas on statesmanship and economic
questions and he will be more apt to!
get fa\orable legislation from con
gress than did Roosevelt, for Taft
has not the antagonizing manner
which often caused unnecessary oppo
sition to the strenuous Teddy.
The people of the United States |
like Taft. We have seen much of the
man in the last nine years. We like
his fairness and liberality; we like
his faculty for hard work and pains- 1
taking investigation; we like his'
fearless attitude on public questions
Above all we like the man. the biK.
jovial whole souled man. We have i
elected William Howard Taft on a
platform tuat promises for the best
interests of the people of the United j
States. And we expect Taft to make;
good. We have been greatly deceived!
in the niait if he docs not do so.
Unless indications fail Taft has the
mettle to make a president of the
highest order.
Here's hoping success to "Big Bill"
Jixn Jeffries arrived in New York
and the police reserves were called
out to cl -ar the streets. We still
worship physical supremacy. Jeffries
is the best fighter in the world and
for that reason he is about a good a
drawing card as Theodore Roosevelt
01 William Jennings Bryan.
Every now and then some San Fran
sisco snifter gets a long delayed jail
sentence. Here's hoping they get the
biggest grafter of the bunch ? Pat
rick Calhoun.
Every business man and merchant
in Skagway owes it to himself and
the town to attend the meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce tomorrow
night
Congress will heave a sigh of relief
In unison when Roosevelt is succeed
ed by Taft.
The "Ananias Club" membership
ti dissolved today at noon.

jthers do unto you."

I ASK myself what sorrow
Must needs be loosentd so,
Whence mortal grief could borrow
Such litanies of woe.

It Is my o?n soul crying

UTOPIA.
THERE is a garden where lilies
And roses are side by side
And ail day between them In sllonce
The silk butterflies glide.
I MAY not enter the garden.
Though t know the road thereto.
And morn by morn to tin" gateway
I sre the children go
THEY bring back light on their facts.

Or the song-* of the butterflies Ihj.
