TO PUT HIS
SEAL ON
TAFT
A LETTER EXPECTED SOON
FROM ROOSEVELT SAYING
HE CONSIDERS THE FAT WAN
THE FINEST KIND OF PRESi-
DENTAL TIMBER.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-It is
about time to lay aside any doubt
as to the presidential candidacy OF
VIM. H. Taft. He will be candi-
date. This is as certain as it is
necessary to be.
There is a possibility that some
thing may happen between now ana
1908 to cause Mr.. Taft to change
his mind. There are always such
possibilities in politics. But in so
far as it rests with him to decide,
he has made the choice. He has
turned his back on the seat on the
supreme court and will shape his
course for the White House.
Some day before long-nobody
can tell just how long-there is

10y the City Man.)

Yes, this has been a fine year for
the farmer.
The crops are good and the
mortgages are scarce, and the
bngs have not bothered, and he has
had a telephone put in and is
dickering for an automobile,
Isn't It fact that a great deal
Of sympathy has been wasted on
the farmer? Isn't it also a fact that
can take care of himself?
There is the man who supplies
our humble dwelling with eggs. He
wears an ancient hat and chews an
oat straw and says by hen"
when he gets excited, and for years
he has been drawing 4 cents per
dozen above the market price be-
cause he knew and we knew that
the eggs were freshly laid by hens
that had been brought up in his
family and were pets.
And it was revealed that he had
about as much idea about hen rails
ing as he had about extracting
cube root, and that he lived in the
country for appearances sake, and
purchased his new laid eggs from
a cold storage house.
And when the damning evidence
was laid before him he said that
he learned the trick from a farmer
for whom he worked and that it
paid lot better than straight
farming.
1t was after a family consulta
ton that we arranged to purchase
a good country COW, and the
owner, who was found down
among the lowing kline, where he
gave up a barn odor that was tire
mendously effective, was worried
because he hated to separate thu
COW from the calf.

nance has eliminated in the mar
riage of Frederic Tudor, banker
clubman and famous Harvard ath.
lete, to Miss Amy Logan, relative
of General John A. Logan.
Miss Logan's family, formerly
wealthy, occupied an exalted sta,
ton in the aristocratic city of
Springfield. One day their riches
took flight and the girls had to GO
to work. Amy soon became pro-
ficient in shorthand.
Tudor, who had known her as a
society belle. was delighted at her
hsow Of independence. He wanted
10 marry her then, but she refused,
saying that she did not wish to be-
come a rich mans wife in order to
get rid of honest toll. Neither
would she accept a position in his
Office, declaring that she was not
proficient.
A year later Tudor advertised for
a stenographer, offering large

HAS THE CITY Man ANYTHING
ON THE HONEST FARMER

"She ISIS loving 1t so she will all
night bawl and you awake keep,
he said, with a fine disregard for
grammatical dignity.
He had a happy thought and
added. There ISIS a old supersti-
ton vich it says II the calf is
from the stall backed oudt, the COW
will never know"
So, as stealthily as a pair of Chi
cago thieves, we backed the calf
out. strangled its bawling and tied
it behind the barn. Sixty large
dollars were counted into a horny
hand and the COW was led to aris-
tocratic quarters in the suburbs Of
the city.
She seemed to forget the calf
easily. She evidenced no mater
nal love, and she REFUSED TO
GIVE MILK.
She was as arid as an Arizona
desert.
Come to think of it, the farmer
did not say that it was HER calf.
The worst imitation of maple
syrup l ever purchased came from
sturdy giant who shyly handed
out a bunch of pussy willow buds,
and said he liked to pluck them
when he was gathering sap.
Sap had never been within 40
miles of that mixture of brown
sugar and drug store dope that he
retailed for $l25 a gallon.
And so we say that while he
would not for the world put the
curse of suspicion on all farmers
and we would even be mild and
kind in our criticisms, yet, wher
the general run of get rich quick
artists are lined up against these
men of the soil, we will put oul

likely to be letter given out from
Theodore Roosevelt, expressing his
personal opinion as to the quallnca-
lions of VIM. H. Taft for the high
office which Roosevelt now holds.
From this letter it is likely to
appear that Roosevelt considers
Taft the finest kind of presidential
timber. The man who receives the
letter will be advised to vote and
work for Taft.
President Roosevelt has not
urged Secretary Taft to get into
the presidential running. He Of
fered him the position as successor
to Mr.. Justice Brown on the United
States supreme court, and left the
secretary to wrestle with the prob
lem.
President Roosevelt has always
believed that Mr.. Taft would be the
best and most available man to
lead the republican party in 1908.
At the same time he considered
him fine man for the supreme
court. He saw, however, that
definite choice must be made be-
tween the two, long before the
presidential nomination should be
due. AS to this choice, he felt that
Mr.. Taft must act on his own re-
sponsibility.
Now the die has been cast.
The next question will be as to
what is to happen in Ohio. The ma
tional republican leaders will groom
Taft as the opponent of the demo-
cratic candidate-probably VIM. ].
Bryan. But the politicians
the men who control the republican
state machine-are not favorable to
Taft. 1t is an open secret that
Senators Foraker and Dick are op-
posed to Taft's nomination, and win
try to keep him from securing the
backing of the OHIO delegation in
the national convention.
