ROOSEKELTS REQUEST
TO CABINET MEMBERS

Exchange.
- RESIDENT ROOSEVELT has ''re-
quested" the members Of his cab
met to go on the stump for the
Republican ticket this fall The
request" was politely worded. but it was
practically an order, and the cabinet mem
bers who have had any practice in public
speaking are preparing TO obey.
Secretary Shaw will help open the cam
paign in Maine and will go west with the
president in September. He will spend the
last week of the campaign in Iowa, his
own state Secretary Moody will go
through New England with the president.
Secretary Root will make some speeches
when he returns from Europe, probably
in New York. Attorney General Knox
never made a political speech In his life,
but at the suggestion of the president he
will make several this fall.
1T want you TO tell the people what you
are doing about the trusts" the president
said to him. Secretary Hay viii make
speech or two and Secretary Wilson VIII
put in most Of the campaign in the west.
The Aonly members of the cabinet who
will not be on the stump during some
part of the campaign are Secretary Hitch
cock and Postmaster General Payne.
Neither is a public speaker and neither
will make the attempt.
The president himself VIII make
speeches in twenty states. He will talk
politics, too, straight from the shoulder,
including Cuban reciprocity and trusts.
He Is very anxious that the Republicans
shall win everywhere this fall, and he
has pressed the cabinet into the cam
paign with that very end in view. He
will expect them to work as hard for the
success of the party everywhere as he
will Some of the secretaries do not think
very favorably of the plan, but that does
not bother the president.

The notes rose loud and clear and then

not been house of worship there would

Church over, the congregation swarmed
about the pretty girl and made her whis-
tie again. She responded with the Mock

had to attend again at the evening ser
vices, when she whistled The Flower
Song" by Mendelssohn. Everybody was
delighted from the clergyman, the Rev.
DR.. John L. Campbell TO the newest
member. In all probability Miss Truax's
solos will be a regular part Of the church's
musical service in the future.
Miss Truax is 10 years old. She is ex-
ceptionally pretty and graceful. Her dress
yesterday was of stylish but simple cut
a FUZZY mass of muslin, lace and ribbons.
Six years ago, when living in Detroit,
she discovered her gift. She began at

hours daily until she attained q register

The muscles of the lips must be culti-
