TAFT IN POLITICS.

Secretary Taft's recent speeches
prove that when a man becomes a
candidate for President he is an unfit
person to hold a cabinet position. II
is only a little more than a year ago
that Mr.. Taft went to Ohio and openly
told the people of his state that the
Republican machine deserved to be de-
feated. Mr.. Taft at that time was a
government official trying to serve the
country. Since he has become presi.
dental candidate his attitude has
changed. Not long ago he went down
into Oklahoma and told the people t.
vote down the Constitution and to
postpone statehood. He pointed out tic
the people Of the new state that the
prosperity Of the state depended upon
Republican policies. A little later he
became interested in Tom Johnson in
Cleveland. He drafted Congressman
Burton from the House Of Representa-
tives to run for Mayor of Cleveland
"'~~'eoSS iphi ooiiilScH IHuSl De DedtGH.
Here are his words:
This contest cannot be viewed with
Indifference by the Republican party at
large The continuation of a strongly
entrenched adverse organization in the
largest city in one of the leading states
OF the union should be prevented"
Why should 1t be prevented? Is it
because Mr.. Taft expects to be nomi-
mated for president and is a little bit
afraid that Tom Johnson. being such
good mayor. might turn the city of
Cleveland against Taft and possibly
the state Of Ohio? Why does a strong
ly entrenched adverse organization
call for prevention? Cleveland has
elected johnson three times. The mayor
OF Cleveland has nothing to do with
national politics. 1t is hard to under
stand what business the national adj
ministration has in mixing up in local
affairs unless the action be ascribed
to politics.

No doubt he could, but he >idnt.
His keen artists eye saw in this pretty
Irish waiter girl just the type of beauty
he thought best suited for his purpose,
and that was enough for him 1t
ought to be enough for the rest of US.
He didn't ask where she was born. or
what her occupation was. He sought
beauty, and having found it he was
content. Beauty is not thing Of race
or creed, or even of color. 1t is thing
apart disdaining fictitious divisions of
the human family.
Those coins will buy just as much
bearing the face of pretty Irish Mary
Cunningham as they would if they
bore upon them the countenance of
the most patrician beauty of May
flower ancestry. The design is suit
able, the face upon the coins is pleas
ant to look upon, and that is enough.
The objection that the model was born
across the sea is absurd, coming from
a people that came, more or less lately,
across the same seas.

One Of the last bits Of work done
by st. daudens. Americas lately de-
parted sculptor, was the design for
some new coins which the government
is about to mint. In place of the fe-
4 male head that has always appeared
son' these coins. he presented a new
ono, and its beauty has attracted wide
comment, says the Duluth Herald.
Lately 1t has been discovered that
the great sculptor found his model
while on summer vacation at Cor
anish. VT. His model attracted his at
Stention when she served him a. dinner

More than that she was Irish, and was

Why Do You Tip7

At one OF the summer resorts where
hotel life comes very near being rob-
bed of all it's terrors, the following cir.
cular is given to the guests:
Tips and fees: The evils and annoy
ances Of this custom are generally con.
coded. Tips are given for one or moro
Of the following reasons:
Custom, which is mere imitation.
Fear Of being thought mean, which
is cowardice.
Desire to be thought generous,
which is vanity.
Desire to help the poor, which 10
charity.
Desire for some favor inconsistent
with full justice to others, which Is
bribery.
Because, in some places no reason.
able >service can be had without tin.
ping, which is a "hold-up" by servants.
Because some extra service is wished
not covered by the price paid, which
is commendable desire to pay for all
received.
Appreciation Of satisfactory service
already rendered, or Of personal liking,
which is generosity and good WILL
Our employees have been selected as
self respecting and unwilling to put
themselves in the place Of ordinary
hotel servants. They are neither OBJ
jects Of charity nor social brigands.
From the first i've motives our
guests should be free, and from the
sixth motive our employees are free. If
prompted by the last two, all should
be willing to accept the plan, carefully
matured after ten years experience,
to pay for extras in the regular bills
and to reward for specially meritorious
service only at the end of visits.

1t is pretty hard to keep track Of the
United States government these days.
The President is on his way down the
Mississippi to the canebrakes OF Louis
lana, where he expects to discover
some bears: Secretary Taft Is bidding
goodbye to the Mikado in Toxic: the
Secretary Of State is down in Mexico
jollying President Diaz: and Vice
President Fairbanks is running about
the country trying to square his ac-
counts with his Methodist friends, and
yet the government at Washington still
survives. Voters next fall will be told
how hard 1t is to get along without
Teddy, but il they can't have Teddy
they must be sure to retain Taft as
their hired man. They are both away
now and we seem to be doing quite
well.

STAY ON THE FARM.

II the present high cost OF living
should result in turning peoples atten-
ton to the advantages Of farm life
some good would result. 1t ought not
to be hard to appreciate these advan-
tages under present conditions. With
the same amount of devotion to labor,
and the same amount of economy, and
the same amount of specialized knowl-
edge that must be applied by the aver
age city man to make a success Of a
business or a profession, the business
of farming may be made to pay and
to provide a competency for old age.
The tendency in this country seems to
be away from the farm and to the
city. Crowded centers are becoming
more crowded, while there is no an.
preciable increase in the amount Of
intensified farming. Farms still re-
main large in this country. They are
not worked so as to produce anywhere
near what they are capable Of produc-
ing. They support a very small frac-
ton Of the population that they are
capable OF supporting. while every
business in the large cities appears to
be overcrowded. OF course, there must
be reason for this tendency. Per
haps 1t is due to the natural inclina
ton Of man to crowd. He is naturally
q nj
more company. more excitement, than
they are able to get on farm; 800 a
month looks like big salary to a
farmers boy. He hears about some
one who left the neighborhood a few
years before and who is getting 800
or more month at some lob in the
city 1t looks big to him compared
to the $50 or $35 a month that a farm
hand draws.
The trouble Is he doesn't appreciate
the comparative value Of the different
salaries. He does not know that to get
three square meals a day and a COM
Portable lodging equivalent in quality
to that enjoyed by him on the farm,
will cost him in the neighborhood Of
SO per week in large city. He does
not stop to think that he must dress
up seven days in the week, and that
every place he goes and everything he
does involves expense.
If farm bred young men understood
these things. there would be fewer Of
them choosing to measure out dry
goods or sell soda water in preference
to raising blooded horses and cattle,
The number Of country boys who fail
in the city is very large compared with
those who succeed. And then again.
