... likelihood ol President Taft
Mad lug a special message to Cong-
na urging the improveuint of HI*
Payne bill by more revision down
ward features?"
The discussion of tbit question,
principally from a negative view-,
point, baa developed the much more
Interesting qu/ry: "How doqt, the
President really stand on revision
now? la be a reactionary or a pro
gressive?"
President's Keelings a Mystery.
The President’s actual feelings to
ward tariff revision are dally becom
ing more of a mystery. Although
she tariff bill now In the making
will determine the failure or tbe
•access of the Taft administration,
smd will therefore decide whether
the President will be renominated
-three years hence, still President
Toft la,,taking no decisive position
ore way or another.
The situation here In tbe national
-capital today Is extraordinary. Both
reactionaries and prgretslvea of the
Republican party declare President
Taft la In sympathy with their pol
icies. In the venacular the Presi
dent la "playing both ends against
the middle.” The progressive* of
(he 8enate. or the so-called Senate
.insurgents, say that the president la
with them. One western senator ex
pressed the belief that the President
would like to see a chango In the
personnel of senate leaders.
Aldrich Clique Claims Him,
’ On the other hand, the Aldrich
clique lake the position that they do
r.ot 'Vthlnk.” hut that they "know
Taft Is with them. It Is pointed out
by the stand-patters that the Presi
dent has not made a single com-
plaint, to far as is known, against
any feature of the Payne bill. He
has not expressed the hope to visit-
•otW that the average tariff rate In
mmm;
Payne bill.
So it would appear there la aoine
ancertalnty as to where the Presi
dent really stands, whether with the
progressives who arc In the beat of
fnlth In their fight for revision
downward, or with the Stand-pat-
i f*™. who appear to be looking out
solely for the dividends of th* New
Rutland protected Interests.
Homo Results From Taft's Policy.
Whit Is the result of the Presi
dent's non-committal policy?. The
ttand-pstters are In control of the
tariff-making machinery. Their am
bition Is to revise tho tariff upward.
By hot giving assistance to the pro
gressives, tha President la permit
ting th* Aldrich faction to Ignore
entirely the general sentiment of
tho country for revlaloh.
Sympathising with the InaurgeaU,

Private conversation, does not Inter-
tare with the Aldrich organisation
ptaas, but his a tendency to ks*p
tho InaurgeaU tamed down to sueh
action at the President would ap
prove of. If President Taft would
urge revision downward la a special
massage It would be giving substan
tial aid to the progressives.
•Taft Standing With Two Factloaa.

Betrayed Roosevelt's Confidence.
This was .the statement mad* in
private conversation by Gibson
Gardner, one of the beat known
Washington correspondents In the
country. Gardner was an ardent
supporter of the Roosevelt adminis
tration for eight yeara, and was
conceded the distinction ot having
stood In bettor favor with Ool.
Roosevelt than nny other member
of the Washington corps of corre
spondents. Roosevelt apparently
bad the most complete confidence In
Gardner, for It Is known that he dis
cussed hla ambitions with the vet
eran correspondent with as mneb
freedom ns If the latter had been a
member of his cabinet.
Gnrdner supported Taft aa a can
didate, and tip to the time of" the
appointment of the Cabinet mem'
hers. Gardner took the position the
appointment of Roosevelt's enemies
was an open betrayal of Roosevelt's
confidence.
Republicans Will be DefqgAM
“ T1 " Republican leaders have
earned defeat at the coming Con
gressional elections," said Gardner,
"and they will get It If other ar
guments were lacking, the results
of upopular tariff laws In tha past
are sufficient to- support this posi
tion that the tariff bill about to be
