President Tnft has only to give Ha

Ex-Governor Fort's remarks would
have been more Impresslvo had ho
not stated his belief that within twen
ty years ihe Japanese will be using
the English language as a medium of
communication. He sees through his
glasses too brilliantly.
They say that Mexicans drink a

Curiously enough our message ol
good will to the nation with the most
powerful navy In the world,' is thf
largest and most powerful battleslilr
that has yet been put In commtsslor
by any country. Our battleship Del
aware leading our fleet today was th(
largest worship In the line. And If Con

foolishly economical fits at the 'next

our naval fleet will move a notel

a woefully long distance to go in Iti

u Bftomt-claie matter.
...JUNE 24, 1911
Congress, In February last, author
ized an appropriation of (20,000,000
for the construction of a. pair of
mighty ships that may well entitle us
to the first rank In floating forces,
ships that will he In advance of any
thing contemplated by either England
or Germany, now the ranking powers.
These two giants of the lino of bat
tle, to be known as the New York
and the Texas, will approach close to
30,000 tons displacement and with
engines of approximately 35,000
horsepower they will be able to make
ja speed of 22 knots an hour.
In keeping with their lnasslveness
they will be not only only well gird
led with steel protection, but their
armament will be such as to make
them must formidable of their class,
In their main batteries there wilt be
12 guns, each of 14 Inches calibre and
each gun five-tenths of an Inch larger
than any other piece of naval ord
nance made, not only because of cnl-
than any other, giving them greater
powers of penetration,
Hut It Is not altogether upon num
bers of ships, character or armament
or conditions of naval warfare, that
one may properly "size up" the Amer
ican navy. As has again and again
been said it Is the man behind the
guns, and as early as 177G, when Gen.
Arnold's improvised navy fought a
fleet of British craft on Lake Cham
plain, recognition of this was given
when Pausch, the English historian,
wrote: "The cannon of the Rebels
were well served, for, as I saw af
terwards, our ships were pretty well
mended and patched up with boards
and stoppers."
As It was then, continued to be,
and Is today, the American gunner Is
peerless. When the final scores for
the battle practice of 1910-11 have
been compiled they will show most
remarkable accuracy In shooting
nhlle rolling and pitching In turbu
lent seas and at targets b1x miles dis
tant. Never has this effectiveness been
better shown than by the results of
the target practice In the Chesapeake
bay, when the old battleship Texas
was used as a mark and the New
Hampshire did the Bhootlng. So ef
fective was this shoting.nt seven and
one-half miles, that under battle con
ditions of quick firing, but ten min
utes would have sufficed to complete
the work of destruction that was
iprcad out during hours In order that
the gunnera might piny with her, so
'o speak. At seven and one-half
miles the old Texas was but a grey
blur upon the wnter and yet, upon
command of Secretary of tho Navy
Meyer, tho gunners placed their shells
whereer wanted. "Strike the mast,"
ald the Secretary, and u moment lat
3r the "sticks" were broken off. "Now
the turret," was the order and 12
tnch shoils crashed against the struc
ture, wrecking it. And nil this was
Jone while the New Hampshire was
iteamlng at full speed
The history of the American navy,
'.rom one point of view, is not lnsplr
ng reading, for with niggardly Con
I'tencs thore huvo been sont Into bat
le ships but poorly equipped for
'heir work. Yet, despite these awful
nmllcups tho American sullnro have
igaln and again been victorious be
cause of superior gunnery und sea
nanshl, nnd they have left behind
hem records that will gladden tho
leart of any man, nnd examples that

, In tho world. His predecessor
won tame and tho Nobel prlzo ns

diplomacy. In tlio different way,

to scciiio permanent pcaco and

millions of men and women with
admiration, His reciprocity cam
paign Is only nn ' Incident In a
wider movement of world-wide
Importance. With calmness, with
dignity, with perspicacity, ho Is
Bteadlly moving towards tho ad
compllshment, let us hope, of a
purpose which will for all nations
set un example of noble dealing
which cannot be disregarded."
Christian Register.
To be president of a largo country
like tho United States Is to bo pro
ininent, of course, but not necessarily
great. We have hnd three or four
great presidents no mora; nnd their
greatness consisted nut so much In
extraordinary Intellectual ' abilities,
and strenuous activity In everything
under the sun, ns In Bnno judgment
dignity, moral poise and patience.
They came Into office with pro
nounced convictions upon nil vital
questions, which they folstered upon
no one, but which they maintained
with loyal adherence.
And when it becamo necessary for
them to express these convictions,
they did so without fear or favor.
Thoy endured adverse criticism with
manly reserve, "biding their time;"
wcro not ruffled by personal com
plaints and antagonisms; they wero
complaisant and yielding In non-essentials,
constant In doing what they
believed was the thing to do.
Such a man President Taft has been
ever stneo ho entered upon his duties
as our national sertltor.
Coming after a man of rcmarknhlo
versatility nnd world-wide promin
ence, whose varied activities no soon
er began than they wcro carried up
on tho wings of tho wind to tho ut
termost parts of tho earth, Mr. Taft's
administration naturally would bo
looked upon with askance.
What Htrango and unexpected thing
could he do to keep up ihe excitement
nnd the enthusiasm, for nothing short
of a war or n now Declaration of In
dependence would suit tho present
feeling?
Yet Mr. Taft came In like a new
cleik to the counting house. He made
his bow and sat down to his tasks,
smiling blandly.
Ho had nothing particular to say
to the nowspaper men he was not
ready tho first day to outline his poll
clcs!
He had been elected by the peoplo
to do their work at Washington, and
he was going to do It by working and
not by talking about It. Would he
follow In tho footsteps of his virile
predecessor could ho do anything
else? Or, would ho try to make uso
of ids own mind? Tho newspaper
men fell ovor each other discussing
tho matter, ending In the publication
of all sorts or galling Inslmintlojii
as to tho new President's Inability lo
make a movo without consulting Jil
patron salut. H)
Mr. Taft worked on, callng three
squaro meals a day, and greeting bis
friends and enemies with a smile.
So, as there wus nothing else to say,
the newspaper men inado fun of the
smile. It was all Mr. Taft had to
offer, they said; It meant nothing.
It was merely a contraption of
muscles without any slgulflcnnco, Hut
through this really exasperating po
rlod of doubt and Insinuation, Mr
Taft's patience held out.
He camo of dignified stock a Judl
clal anceBtry. and he himself Inherit
cd a poise of spirit which, with his
legal acquirements and experience,
carried him up Into the Supreme
Court.
And ho was man enough before
election to stand by his religious faith
and convictions, which were unpopu
lar with nine-tenths of tho voople nf
the United States.
So when ho camo to Washington he
set to work to see what wbb to be
done, and what might be tho work
lie wus specially fitted to do. Ho se
lected his own advisers, showing that
ho used his own judgment ns to their
equipment for the work In hand,
He showed his greatness by not re
fusing to uphold Mr. Konsovelt's
policies when they fitted tho case.
Under tho charge of being only the
ex-presldent'a tool, some men would
have dlscuided everything belonging
to his predecessor's administration,
supplanting them by new policies
whether they were best or not.
Again Mr. Taft showed his great
ness by depurtlng from previous pol
icies where they did not seem to ap
ply. He learned to do that In religion,
dropping no mutter what, if It seemed
logically Irrelevant.
The next thing to say was that Mr
Taft might havo policies of his own
dangerous as It might be, he was
PRESIDENT
doing something without consulting
Mr. Iloosevelt.
Hut Mr, Taft kept on being Presi
dent himself, with his eye on Porto
Illco and Panama and Hawaii and tho
Philippines. Hu didn't worry about
Africa. .
Instead of calling his directors
liars, ho let others find that out for
themselves; did very little talking,
refused to Bcold thoso who differed
from him, und pretty much minded
his presidential business,
Thu country began to grow Inter
ested. Hern was u man who could
work nnd wait. Ho had Ideas of his
own unmistakably, and he used them
He kept his mental emergency-case
ready he seemed to be posed upon
tho questions which he was expected
to know how to handle. The world
outsldo began to hear of this man
who worked and smiled and didn't
make n spectacular exhibition of him
self.
Ills quiet, steady assiduity his un
ruffled dignity nnd steadfastness ol
purpose begnn to appeal to all classes
of .men.
The medical men looked pleased
and kuld He takes an interest lu the
health matters of the country he
takes nn Intelligent Interest he If
recommending legislation, which, II
carried out, wilt revolutionize sani
tary matters In tho stntc.
Hut tlieywcre astonished the othet
day when at n meeting of the Medico1
Club of Philadelphia, which tendered
the President a banquet and recep
tion, he delivered an address which
for far-reaching wisdom and prac
tical Bcnso; for Intimate knowledge
of disease und the measures needed
for Its prevention and cure, has not
been paralleled, at least In n lnyman.
Of this the Philadelphia Public
Ledger said:
"President Tnft was tendered one
of the most extraordinary reception;
nnd banquets, ns well as a demonstra
tion of popularity last night, that liar
marked his career as President of the
United States, nnd In being tho guest
of honor of the Medical Club of Phil
adelphiareceived u feeling tribute
for his humanitarian endeavors white
Secrctnry of Wnr and as chief ex
ecutive," Tho ofllclal organ of tho American
Medical Association which meett
10,000 strong In Los Angeles thli
month, says editorially:
"The ofllcers and members of the
Medical Club of Philadelphia are to
be congratulated on the splendid
testimonial bnnquet and reception
tendored by the physicians of Phila
delphia, of Pennsylvania, nnd of thu
whole country for tho country as a
whole was represented to tho Presi
dent of the United Stntes In recog
nition of his services to sanitary
science, and as an appreciation of his
aid In the advancement of public
medicine.
No other president has been so
honored by tho medical profession;
no other president has bo honored
tho physicians, of the United States
Uut it must be said also that no other
president has been brought Into con
tact with physicians and their work
In so many ways hna had such a
practical knowledge of what medical
science has done and Is doing. He
took pains to emphasize the fact that
he hud a message for tho medical
profession of tho United States It
was a gratifying appreciation of tho
economic and humanitarian benefits
that huvo resulted from modern med
icine. It was also an evidence Hint, for a
layman, the speaker hud an .unusual
ly wldo knowledge of mod leal arfulrF,
and grasp of 'medical science and
what It has accomplished.
Ah ono listened, oue could not help
believing that, If President Taft could
have his way about It, public health
matters would bo given n greater
recognition by the national govern
ment than thoy are now glvon, even
to tho creation of a department of
public health with a Secretary In the
Cabinet. The spirit that prevailed
throughout tho evening was that of
brotherly love nnd respect for the
Prosldent, who by word and deed, In
the many responsible positions he has
occupied, has shown a knowledge of
medical sclcnco and an appreciation
of Its Importance as has no other
public man."
Now, these doctorB, with some ex
ceptions, of course, nro pretty practi
cal, level-headed men, and what they
think or Mr. Tnft s probably truo.
They have ugreed that his Intimate
knowledge ,,of , the medical matters of
tho counlr, Is h knowledge. which Is
not out of place in a Pret'dont of a
country of ninety millions or people,
who uro subject to nil kinds of dis
eases, and that his recognition of pur
meuicui needs is us wise as It U re
markalle In a man who Is not ,i phys
Iclnn. Hut Mr. Tnft has been working
and thinking and observing ub well
as smiling; If he hasn't talked much
of such things nt the Whlto House,
lie said a good deal of sense at tho
Medlcul Club of Philadelphia. He Is
going to let the doctors und the
specialists uttend to the race-suicide
problem, but ho 1b doing ull he can
to put them In tho way- of saving
Borne of tho peoplo ulieady on the
ground.
The other day again, camo unother
surprise. We found that Mr. Tuft-
while wo woro dreaming of ltj'or
Imps hns been urging nn Anglo"
American pact to such good cITcct
that It Is likely to become un Insti
tution. The amiable,, silent, smiling man In
tho President's chair haB put tho mat
ter before our English friends in such
a light that thoy aro not only pleased
with It but have expressed their ap
proval. It's all In tho way n' thing
Is said and done.
And the tact employed in this In
stance, Is nn evidence of Mr. T.itt'a
greatness n fruit of his Inspiration.
Had ho taken some other ways
perhaps any other way the desired
agreement might have been rejected
as Impracticable, or put oft with In
terminable diplomacy; but Instcnd we
had a cordial response: Sir Edward.
Uray even suggests that we turn
)ur armies and navies into an Inter
national pollcu system.
H this becomes un fait nccompllt,
It will be the greatest thing since
Emancipation; one can scarcely
reckon how much It will mean to the
auso of Christian civilization lu the
Adiole world the end of war tho be
(Inning of universal pencot
It will bo a step towards the Mil
lenium a reaping of tho fruits of
ho spirit, which ure, "Ijve-Joy,
pence, long-suffering, kindness, good
less, faithfulness, meekness, self
control." Another result of Mr. Taft's official
presence nt Washington, Is tho pos
llblllty of a Reciprocity treaty be
tween ourselves and Canada. Mr.
Taft's smile the .genuine kindliness
ind human charity which lie back of
'hat smile ImH made our own people
ind tho people of Canada mora urg
Hit In their demands ' for' such a
treaty.
There Is n good deal In personal
nlluence ngreal deal nnd Sir Wil
frid's respect and admiration for our
"resident makes him a stronger
ihampion In support of the proposed
treaty. -
"I love tho United States." he Bald
the other day In London, and I have
personal reasons for knowing that
lothlng would give him greater pleas
iro than to have our relations with
Canada still more friendly than they
ire.
Wo are essentially one people, wo
iccupy the same unsepnrated land,
our Ideals and Institutions are so
nuch alike that going from our own
country Into Canada Is like passing
'rom one state into another. Wo
nnrry und Intermury, we read each
other's publications, wo exchange
cuchers und schools, wo borrow each
Jther's clorgyman 'and 'editors we
vorshlp each other's heroes.
It Is safo to "say that 'Mr. Laurler
4a almost as Well known on this slda
of the Lino as ho Is on the other, and,
jy many, quite as well loted. Oneof
jur most prominent congressmen in
.Vasiilngton said to me, "'I wish we
md him In tho house."
Let us bo thankful Hint our own
President Is being discovered, that
wo havo a man who can und does use
lis ofllclal influence In furthering
what he Juis accepted as his only
creed :
The Fatherhood of God,
Tho Drotlicrhood of man,
The Leadership of Jesus,
Tho Progress of mankind onward
