He was energetic enough, but not implacable ,on the tariff question. 'He has shown himself to be a strong man recently, first in connection with the railway freight bill, and next in his attitude on the post office savings mater. The president had given these mat- ters serious consideration.

Mr. Taft is surely doing. better, in his personal attitude towards great corporations and in his leaning to the senate. Why 'men of large ability should hesitate about the performance of a public. daty, and why it should be necessary for the president to co- erce them, is not quite apparent, but the American system calls for a force ful man in the presidency and Mr, Taft seems to be growing in power and fitting himself for every emer gency. The Whig is glad to acknowl: tedge this. The Lampman thinks that the street car company s. Manager should urge upon the motormen mdge caution in this busy seasor of travel. It is too dangerous, he thinks, for-a motor man to sit down on the front seat ofan open ear and let the car run at full speed on some of the appay: ently out-of-the-way stretches of track, The seat ie too far from the motor to allow the driver to retain hold, and, theretcie, should someone dart suddenly or the track ahead of the car it could not be controlled. The motorman should be provided with a smali chair, ag in the closed cars, 80 he will not have to stand all the time.
