"" t KANSAS AND TAFT. That the Salt Lake Ilerald-Rcpublican is like a child, in that little things plensc it, is pro-cd by the folloAving from this morning's morn-ing's editorial page of that paper: Like the old Roman hero, President Taft is entitled to display ns his slogan, "I came. I saw, T conquered." Bleeding Bleed-ing Kansas, the state of Bristow, the hotbed of insurgencj', Avhere a full set of whiskers is recommended -by the medical profession as the only method for one to get the overplus of hair out of his system, the state of William Allen White, Avho confessed that the chief industry of his home commonwealth com-monwealth avos the scientific method of "raising hell" Kansas has taken the President to its bosom and the loaders of the state Republican organization assure Mr. Taft that he Avill receive that state's delegation to the next Rcpub- lican convention. The Republican state chairman of Kansas and the Republican Re-publican national committeemen from that state unite in assuring tho President that Kansas is for him and that every delegate from that state in the national convention Avill support hinu With Kansas Avheeling into line, Avhat is to become of La Follctte? If Kansas is for the President, La Follette may as Avell close his national headquarters. The people of Kansas harc been uoted for their patriotism. Had Grover Cleveland, in tho days of Kansas' deepest avoc, made a tour of that state as President of the United States, he avouUI have been welcomed Avith the same enthusiasm that Taft is uoav receiving, and only a cross-eyed Stand-patter, Avearing political goggles, could interpret such a Avclcomo to a President as having political significance. Wm. Taft, as President, of this countr', is being received by Stand-patters, Progressives, Democrats, Socialists and MugAVumps. The people arc attesting their love of country and their deference of respect to the chief magistrate of the nation, and yet there are Reactionaries so stupid as to try to make political capital out of this demonstration of fidelity. The Deserot News of last evening contains this special dispatch: (Special to The News.) Coffeyville, Kan., Sept. 25. Ten thousand people Averc silent while President Taft defended his vetoes of the avooI and cotton bill schedules. There avhs no cheering, no hand-clapping. hand-clapping. He said: "Bound as I am by platform pledges to see American industry sufficiently protected, I could do nothing but withhold my signatures from these bills." jHc breakfasted at the Country chili. A big croAvd greeted him at Indepeudence. The silence of the people of Kansas Avhile the President Avas making a political speech avus so marked that the Dcseret Ncavs saw fit to publish the fact, in a special message. Though the peo-. peo-. pie Avere in an enthusiastic frame of mind over the President's visit, they remained silent AS'hilc Taft attempted to excuse his action ac-tion in vetoing the tariff bills of the last congress. That does not indicate that the people of Kansas have been won over, like a giddy girl, by tile flirtation of even a President. The citizens of the Sunflower state Avould be open to the charge of being vacillating and unbalanced Avere they to suddenly turn from the disclosures that gradually have brought them to see the trickery and cunning of the Stand-patters and have filled them Avith the conAaction that equal rights in this country can be obtained only by a reA'olt against the men Avithin the Republican party avIio are the masquerading representatives of the predatory interests.
