1aft's Mother Doesn't Want Him
 Elected President of United States
She Is Proud of Her Sons Mental Achievements and Would Rather See Him on the Supreme Bench Says William H. Does Not Want the Pfesldency

tinued Mrs. Taft.
 Who is your candidate?' Mrs Taft was asked.
 "Elihu Root, secretary of state, she replied, .I know him personally and l consider him fine man and I am in hope that he will be the next president"
 Speaking of Secretary Taft she said:
 He is the oldest of family of four. He will be 50 years Old Ill September. l have three other chll- dren, Henry w., a lawyer of New York: Horace H., who conducts preparatory school for boys in Gin cinsati. and Mrs. w. A. Edwards of Los Angeles. I lived in Cincinnati thirty years and all my children were born there. They are true Buckeyes. Their father came from Vermont, and l came from Wor cester, Mass, but nevertheless they are true Ohioans.
 From Buckeye State.
 Mrs. Taft seemed prouder of the fact that her children were Buck eyes, than of the success they had achieved.
 "Mr. Taft worries greatly about his weight. He was always a large boy. has weighed as much as $50 pounds, but when I saw him in New York just before I left he was weighing 27O and was in hope of reducing to 250. He is under the care of a famous specialist in Lon don, with whom he corresponds reg ularly''

IRON AND STEEL
 is.r WORKERS MEET

Toledo, Ohio, May 7.--The National Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, has convened in this city, and is attended by twenty to twenty-five big steel magnates, who will discuss with their men the wage question for one year.
 This organization has had it's ups and downs, but it finally prospered and became one of the most powerful unions in the world It's success is due mainly to the way in which it's business is conducted The men have what is called a sliding scale, that is to say. they slide from one to two cents, which means that when the manufacturers sell common bar iron at one cent a pound, or one dollar hundred. the employees get a certain wage per ton. If the manufacturers see fit to raise the price to one and tive-tenths of cent the men go up with them. With each one-tenth of q cent advance the wage of the work men go up a certain amount per ton Changes are made each sixth days, if the market affords it. There is what is known as a conference committee, which settles all disputes between the men and the manufacturers in refer ence to scale questions. Many people are surprised when they learn that the convention lasts from eighteen days to three weeks. The reason for this is that there is an immense amount of business transacted. The association consists of four branches, which are known as the iron, steel, sheet and tin workers. Each trade ac- tually holds a convention of it's own. but by meeting together mutual as sistance is given to formulate each scale. The union has a closed shop. Representative are here from all states in the union.

Los Angeles, May 6.-"l do not want my son to be president; he IS not my candidate" smilingly de clares Mrs. w. F. Taft, mother of Secretary of War w. II. Taft. '"The supreme bench, where my boy would administer justice, is my ambition for him His is judicial mind, you know, and he loves the law. Added to these are good health and unfailing good nature"
 Mrs. Taft, a tall graceful matron of some 70 years, was attired in handsome black embroidered gown, with dainty cap of white, woman of the old school, with whom traces of early beauty still remain.
 Proud of Son.
 She is proud of her sons mental achievements, and tells with pride of his record in schoolo, his early boyhood, his graduation from the Cincinnati High School, his col lege days at Yale, and then his ad- mission to the bar. It is his record in the latter and his innate love for the law which causes her to seek for him as her highest ambl- tion a supreme justiceship in pref erence to that of the highest posi- ton in the United States.

SAYS THIS IS BEST.

* A leading health journal in B answering the question, What is the best prescription to clean and purify the blood?' $ prints in recent issue the @ following: Fluid Extract of # Dandelion one-half ounce, Con- pound Kargon one ounce, Com # pound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
 < ounces. Shake well and Use * in teaspoonful doses after each x meal and at bedtime.
 A well-known local drug
 gist states that these are & harmless vegetable ingredients,
 which can be obtained from any good prescription pharm-
 acy. This mixture will clean the blood of all impurities. In just * few days the skin begins to clear of sores, boils and pimples. It puts vigor and en- ergy into rundown debilitated men and women. For many years Sarsaparilla alone has * been considered a good blood * medicine. But while it built up and made new blood, the inn purities remained within and * the good accomplished was only
 * temporary. Sarsaparilla, how ever, when used in combination with Compound Kargon and Extract Dandelion, works won- ders. This combination puts the kidneys to work to filter and sift out the waste matter, uric acid and other impurities that $ cause disease. It makes new * blood and relieves rheumatism * and lame back and bladder > troubles.

taught the young man when he was a
youngster and who remembered the slight
blue-eyed boy who called her his second
mother"
But the convictions of these wemen
had no weight with the second jury which
passed upon the guilt or innocence of the
man. SO on Oct. %, 1901, these twelve
men brought in a verdict of guilty, and
again was the prisoner sentenced to the
penitentiary for his natural life.
In the meantime, however, and before
Gov. Taylor left the State as a fugitive
from justice to prevent arrest and ar.
raignment for completely in the same as
sassination, the executive granted a par
don to the prisoner. The Supreme Court
of the State declared this pardon void,
holding that Taylor had ceased to be Gov
ernor at the time it was issued.
But the feeble old mother never ceased
praying for her sons freedom. Nor did
she waver in her faith as to his inno-
cence. She had impoverished herself,
having sold her little farm and moved to
the home of a daughter, to aid in raising
finances for the son to continue his battle
against what seemed to be overpowering
Odds. Then came the third trial. She
was living in an humble cottage in Bar
louisville, and every evening she could
be found standing at the gate, her very
soul crying out for a verdict of limo
cent" tt
Finally the verdict was carried to her,
but it was as far from that expected and
hoped for as day is from night. 1t was
on the evening of Aug. 20, 1903, that
she learned that a third jury had con.
demned her boy to death.
Holding herself steadily erect, the aged
woman made but one comment:
"My son is innocent; my sole prayer
now is to the God of the fatherless and
the widow that he will open the eyes and
soften the hearts of those enemies Of
Caleb who seem determined to have his
life. But both he and I will live to prove
to the world that he had no connection
with the crime" .. .,
Prior to this trial Powers had used ur
about all the funds he could secure. Now
he was pretty well discouraged. Again
did a woman come to his rescue. In the
mountain school at Flemingsburg, Caleb
Powers had inspired hat affection in Mrs,
Brock which was to bring forth a harvest
that made a fourth trial possible. Not.
withstandins her "a years she gave up all
her time to raising a fund for Powers
defense. She resigned from the little
school and travelled the length and
breadth of the State in behalf of her for
mer pupil. She was particularly sue,
cessful among the women of the State,
and it was her spirit, which she impaired
to others, that made the fourth trial a
certainty.
One of the attendants will be the pris.
oner's mother. She says she cannot bear
the suspense which was hers while await.
| ing the verdict in the third trial. and she
| is confident that the prejudices of former
juries will not be a part of the make-uE
of the next which will try her boy. What
ever the outcome of the trial, the pris'
oner is bearing up with remarkable forti'
tude.
