HH, Groat man is Mr. Nebekcr. Did you HHj rend his Interview? You ought to It HH was a gem .Fancy his argument that HH Wilson must break with Harvey, be- HJ iaun Harper's Weekly, is "owned Jiy HH the" sinister powers," when Wilson HH himself, according to Watterson, was HHJ eager to swallow Harvey, Harpor's, HHJj Hyan, and the trust fund contribution HHJ hut expressed "a fonr that If the HHj knowledge of sucli a contribution got. HH abroad it might do more harm than HHp' good." It was not Harvey. It was not HHT' Kyan. It was not the contribution that HHY Wilson feared. No, no, he loved all HHT these. It was Just the risk of being HHT "caught with tho goods," that was all, HHt And right hero it might be pcitlnenl HHf to ask what became of the money HHT that Watterson did collect and tuin HHt In to tho Wilson campaign.

Well, Mr. Nobekor had good training In tho old Ucmocintlo machlno days in Cache county, nnd no doubt tlilnl.fi ho can do the same thing over again. Tints will tell. Wnlt and sco. D D D PRESIDENT TAFT AROUSEi-. Tiesldjiit Tnft put on his war point when addicsslug his friends ami nclghbcts In his lionio State of Ohio at Columbus, on Tuesday night. If any ouo had tho Idea that I'icsldent latt is disposed to Ho down and let his enemies wnlk otor him, that person per-son may as well dismiss tho idea at once; for tho president isn't that kind or.n man. He, In that speech, not only pointed out tho excellent record of his administration as a whole, but he made aggressive wnr upon his detractors. de-tractors. He was especially vehement in denunciation of tl-nc who havo at tacked him bccnUsu of 'he enforcement enforce-ment of tho Sherman anti-trust law, lemlnding them that both yarty platforms plat-forms in 1008 called foi i rigid enforcement en-forcement of this law. '1 liu l'resldcnl Is undoubtedly very Blnccpj and vciy much lu earnest In this matter, and he Justly resents Doing Do-ing assailed ou this account. The fact Is, that the people had not held bi.n lespouslble for the Ineffective prosecutions prose-cutions that hate been made under the anti-trust law, such us the Standard Stand-ard Oil case and tho Tobacco Trust case. The people understand that, although al-though the successful prosecution in both these rases resulted in no practical prac-tical good, that President Taft is not responsible for that fnlluro. They understand un-derstand also that tho nagging prosecutions prose-cutions that Attorney-General Wicker-sham Wicker-sham Is beginning, and threatening light and left, aie tho Attorney-Gen-eral's blunders, and not tho l'icsl-dent's. l'icsl-dent's. If the people could sco that the attorney-general wap getting any results worth while in tho prosecu-tlf.nn, prosecu-tlf.nn, then there would be no such contempt for them or for him. Mono of this obloquy, however, at niches to President Tnft. The President Presi-dent ery pioperly entrusts the innu ngemcut of the prosecutions to the At-toinoy-Goneral; t''at tho Attorney-General Attorney-General makes a failure, even when ho appaicutly 'succt'eds, 'is the ' At-tnrney-Gehwnl's fault, and not tho Piealdent's. Theiu Is no doubt In tho world about the absolute good faith and earnestness ear-nestness of President Tnft In all of his efforts. Ho hus had occasion to chastUo Atfbrney-Genernl Wicker-sham, Wicker-sham, especially lu tho pure food case, nnd he has been unfortunate in nth ers of his cabinet appointments. Hut that he himself Is standing squarely upon the law and fully doing his duty as chief executive of tho law, In absolute abso-lute candor and good faith, thore can bo no question. Thero Is not n, particle par-ticle of sense in Itepubllcnus anywhere, any-where, and especially In Itopubllcnna of Ohio, assailing I'icsldent Tnft on any point whatever. The President Is ablo to show, and he does show In his speeches, a fiuo record for his administration. That he will give even a better administration In his second term is undoubtedly true, nnd that his assailants nro treating treat-ing him unfairly Is ccitain. It is especially es-pecially unfair for tho llspubllcaus or his home Stato of Ohio to bo backbiting back-biting him in tho way that n good many of them havo dono; nnd, in his speech in Columbus on Tuesday evening, even-ing, ho showed his Just and proper resentment of thaf kind of treatment. President Tnft has got on his fighting fight-ing clothes at last; and tho country will bo glad to sco that ho Is aroused to resentment over the unfair at-tacku at-tacku that havo been rnado upon him within his own party and Yrlthln his own Stato. Wo bellove that tho country Is with President Taft, nnd that tho Itepub-llcnn Itepub-llcnn party will stand practically solid at his back. Those Republicans who ate' opposing him aro doing so to their own Injury nnd to the hurt of their party; whllo on tho other hand, 'there are multitudes of Democrats' who admire President Taft, and who believe absolutely In his ability, his HHHHHHHHH1 good fnltli, and hfe patriotic motives nnd services.
