THE SO-CALLED PURER DEMOCRACY.
EX-PRESIDENT TAFT'S VIEW. By TcleEraph—Press Association— Conrritht (Rec. January 22, 11.40 p.m.) New York, January 21. Mr. William Taft, ex-Presideut of the United States, addressing tho college students at Philadelphia, called a halt in the movement towards the so-called purer democracy. Nowadays such uioyemonts culminated in ridiculous exhibitions, such as a school children's strike. The newspapers had stimulated such things, while weak-minded parents lather encouraged their offspring,.as if they had displayed some courage and enterprise. The ex-President censured sexual plays and sexual literature. The United States, he said, was not going into Socialism. If such were the case, they would only substitute the tyranny of tho majority, and a dead level of retrogression for everyone.
