, . Our Next President.
'rill' st\Hlily illcreasing- popularity -
larity ( I ( William 11. 'l'aft and
his growing streng-lh as n presi-
cleut ial ca nd il ( a tc , a disclosed h.y
recent inculents ill Ohio and clse-
where , are lIeg-inuing to clear
the public mind as to his rc-
latiuns with President Roosevelt.
U nd'r ordinar ) ' conditions it
would he a heavy handicap to a
candidate to he known as the
choice of an outgoing president.
'l'he strength of Secretary 'l'aft
is noL oul \ ' evidence of Mr. Hoose-
'velt's a ionishing hold on the
peoplc , hn tit is decided proof of
thc contidence and esteem in
which : : : ) ecretary ' 1'dL is held.
' [ 'he puhlic discriminatcH in this
case with nicety , accepting Pres-
idcnt Hoo5cvell's view of Secretary -
tary ' 1'aft without placing the
prcsidcnt in the atlitud. : of at-
tempting. to misusc his elI cial
power or placing Mr. 'raft ill the
attitude of bcing a mere shadow
of the prcsHlcnl.
'l'he rcason why the public is
turning towml 'raft is not only
hecausc it is sure he is in harmony -
mony with the Roosovell policies ,
but because he is inchviduallv' '
and distinctively , in his ow 1. .
right , admirably fitted for the
presidenc ) ' , 'l'hc public does not
demand 1rom Secretary . ' 1'aft or
any other candidate a pledge
that the Hoosevelt policies will
be executed to the letter , cxactly
as l oosevelt would execut them.
In the first place , nb one can foretell -
tell what is best to be done under
circumstances not yet developed.
Mr. loosevelt himself cannot tell
what he will do in the remaining
year 01 his administration , nor
would it be wise to exact a pledge
from him. A plan which appears
wise now might bc foolish when
the lime arrives for its execution.
Secretary 'raft belicves in the
Roosevelt policies , and if elected
he will , no doubt , endeavor to
carry them into ( 'tTect. But he
will do so in his own way. Has
anyone so short a memory as not
to rccall the declaration of Mr.
I ooscvelt when he took up the
work laid down by McKinley ?
Mr. Hoosevelt labored faithfully
Lo p.xccutc the Mdinley policies
knowing they wcre approved hy
the people. ' No one charges him
with failure hut surely no enc
would have the hardihood to con-
tcnd that the history of the last
six years is what it would have
been if Mr. McKinley had Ii ved
and r.7mained president. 'l'emper-
amental ditTerences betweeu
foosevelt and McKinley have
caused surprising episodes in
this history although therc way
be no radical departure from any
of McKinley's plans.
'l'hrough the same cause s 1hi-
lar effects could be expected if
Mr. 'r.l.ft were elected president.
As a man of individuality and
sound common sense , he wou d
not even try to execute the
Hoosevelt policies in the Roose-
\'elt wa ) ' . His manner would be
the 'raft manner-the manncr
native to the man. He would
travel along the pathway of his
predccessor , but he would deal
w1th each situation as it arose ,
acting according to circumsta nces
for the best , without rel.'ard to
outer appearances. N fair-
minded man would insist upon a
lavish imitation of auy prcced-
ing action , however renowned.
As oresidcnt Mr. 'raft would be
in lOSsession ) of all available in-
lormation , and he could be relied
upon to make prudence his first
consideration , whether his decision -
cision would bc one that Mr.
l oosevel t would ha'e made or
othcrwise. Mr. Hooscvelt him-
sclf is the last man in the United
States , probably , who would try
to tie Mr. 'l'aft down to a certain
coursc of action on future e\'ents.
As a winner of fricn s by personal -
sonal cuntact , Secretary 'l'aCt is
world.famous. His wholesome
personality , his good cheer , his
c\'ident ahilitv and readiness tc.
tackle and c rry heavy burdens
without perceptibh ! strains and
his hearty Americanism of man-
ncrs and ideals make him a
marked man in any compan ) ' ,
lIe has not suffcred by comparison -
son with any othsr American
against whom he may be pitted
for the presidency. It is not
surprising to note that Mr. 'l'aft's
I advisers have pointed out the ad-
\'antage of his frequent appearance -
ance before the people. Personal
acquaintance with him means
admiration and warm regard.
'l'he idea that he is an unreal
shadow of I ooS velt speedily
" ,
. '
fHles : wherever his substantial
persl'ualit ) ' appears , and in its
place i left a decidcd lildug' for
and reliance upon a man \vho is
een to be equipped by uatnrc
and training' for the performance
of puhlic sen'i ces of thc very
highesL importauce.
Letter from Edwin F. Myers. .

CUS'l'HH Co. 1ltl'UlILICAN ,
'l'hat 1 have not writtcn Rooner
is not because of forgetting m } '
prumise to write , but rathcr from
lack of time.
Chicago has felt the effects of
thc panic rather less than most
American cities. None of the
important banlcs have found
themselvcs in straights. In the
merchantilc Huc busincss has
been good. Marshall ll'ield a HI
Co. , where I am , did 14 per cent
more holiday busincss this year
than last year. ' 1'his is p rtly
due to the fact that the rctail
store is larg-er this 'year than ever
before , Howcver there has bccn
a panic here as clsewherC" . ' 1'he
rich men had theirs in November
from a lack of capital and th
poor man is getting his now from
a lack of work. 'l'he slackness
is far more marked in some businesses -
nesses than in others. 'I'here arc
said to be thirty thousand idle
men in the city at the present
time. Man } ' of thcm were formerly -
erly engaged in tIle trades that
have to do with coppcr and iron.
IC Chicago coul < l tallc I think
it would say "watch my smoke"
for when the wind is not b10wing
it certainly is a smoky place.
'fhey are r ising high jinks
here now over whether those
who like it rua ) ' buy booze : ill
night or only up to lwelve
o'clock. 0
I expect to see Brokcn Bow
shortly.

Wonderful Growth. '
Not since the days of abolition
has any great ethical principle
made such a fight for recognition -
tion by our political system as
has prohibition in the last few
j'ears , Like the aboHtiol1move-
ment , the strugglc for prohibition -
tion bad an insigniticant local
beginning and was , at tirst. a
vital principle only to womcn's
societies and unilliportant mcn ,
who were lcd b.r n. single incli-
vidual of extraonlinary power.
Abolition lived half a century ,
thcn reached its 1el1 lh and ex-
pircd amid the smolce and blood
of it great war which it hl\d
stirred up. But that war was
its worlc and it died only because
. its worle was clone.
I Proh1bition has existed half a
century now , and perhaps has
. not arrivcd at its 1cnith but it
has reached a tremedous height
and is spreading over the country
ill { eap and hounds greater than
t110S of abolition-except il1 its
later da ) ' . Its issue will not be
leClto the sword as was that of
: its great forerunner , hut it will
put its trust in the ballot and i.n'
the war of ballots there will
surely come a Gettysburg.
ProhihitlOn as an issue has
come to sta.y , eithcr to victory or
I until it is decisively wiped out
I a t the polls. It is no lon er a
! fad. It has provcd its right to
: existence b ) ' a healthy gro.th . ,
and the two grcat politIcal
parties can 110 long-er shoulder it
out of the way. ' 1'hcy must meet
it squar ly , and one of them will
eithcr have to talce it into camp
as a friendly power and an ally-
or beat it down. It may not be
an issue in this ycar's political
campaign bnt , will be in the campaign -
paign of 1912 if it c ntinues
its present marvelous growth.
Out of the eitht millions of
people in the UIt1ted States there
are thirty-three million living
under a b. , 0 1 ute prohibition.
What is the use of pretense , or
eYlsit : > n"or denial il ! thc fac of'
these figures ? Such an army as
that cannot be brushed aside
ligh tly.
'I'he curious thing is thats
althought prohibition bas bcen
called a failure by its opponents ,
it seems a fact that whenever a
community has once gone "dry"
it rarely ever gets back to Ilwet"
again or fCmains "wet" very
long , if it does happen to get
baclc. It may be a : failure as a
principle of right and justice-it
ma ) lie a failurc as a practice
for indh'idual mcn-but as a
political issue it is not.a failure.
r epub1icans and democrats ali1e
will be forced to admit that-and
be mighty polite about admitting
'it ' , too , or else prohibition is apt
to spoiltheir , features-some.
