Capt. John Manners, of the English
army, now the duke of Rutland, was
at that time in poor health. He OBJ
tanned a furlough, and went to the
dry climate OF New Mexico to recu-
perate his falling strength. He was
accompanied by his wife, who Is re-
membered as a beautiful woman of
most charming and simple ways. Un-
like most English health-seekers
Capt. and Mrs. Manners did not travel
with a retinue of servants. In fact,
they were unaccompanied by any per.

The first thing Capt. Manners did
when he arrived at Las Vegas was to
buy an ordinary camping tent, which
he put up with his own hands on a
vacant lot near the old Montezuma
hotel. The tent was furnished with
cots and few rough cooking utensils.
and dry goods box for a table. Thus
the couple lived for several months.
It was in this tent that a pretty girl
baby was born. It was a cold. stormy
day, December 20. that marked the
event.
In those days Las Vegas still pos
sessed the rough. hospitable spirit Of
the west. The Manners baby was the

Roosevelt favors the personal en-
trance into the campaign of the big
secretary on the ground that there is
more at stake than the mere personal
interests of Secretary Taft himself.
The situation in Ohio has conferred
largely about the Endorsement of the
president himself Senator Foraker
opposed the Roosevelt policy on the
railroad rate bill, and the senator,
more than any other man. is respons-
ible for stirring up the Brownsville
affair. and doing it III such way. up
to the present time, as to put the
president in the wrong.
For these reasons, if for no other,
the administration is interested, and
those who are insisting that Secretary
Taft must remain in the United States
point to the fact that il is up to him
to become spokesman of the admin
istration and to defend his chief.
President Roosevelt, against the
heavy blows which Senators Dick and
Foraker, backed as they viii be by
the state machine, are certain to de-
liver.
Taft's Brother at White House.
This visit of Henry Taft has start
ed an Ohio politicians in washington
to talking about the fight on Foraker,
and they differ widely in their esti-
mates not only as to the outcome but
as to the wise thing for Secretary
Taft to do under the circumstances.
Many of the closest friends of the
secretary of war, including number
of personal admirers who are not
practical politicians, are vehement in
the assertion that under no circum-
lstances should he permit himself to
be persuaded to give up his trip to
the Philippines for the sake of plung-
ling into the raging whirlpool of Ohio
politics. There are special reasons
why the secretary of war should go
to the Philippines according to his
original program. He is largely re-
sponsible. il not entirely so, for the
creation of the form Of government
which is now being set up. He al
ways has had profound interest in the
