TWENTY-sIxTH OR SEVENTH?
What Is Taft's Numerical Rank
 Among the Presidents?

Will Wm. H. Taft be the twenty seventh president of the United States, or the twenty sixth? As a matter of fact there have been only twenty-five men, including the vice presidents who have succeeded to the presidency, who have held the office of president Mir. Taft will be the twenty-siXth man to enjoy the honor and exercise the power of president of the United States. Why, then, should he rank as the twenty seventh president?
 On the Mckinley peristyle on the state capitol grounds at Columbus. O., and on the dedicated obelisk in Niagara Square, Buffalo, William Me Kinley is declared to have been the twenty fifth president of the United States. This agrees with the num- bering of the almanacs, and if it is true Roosevelt is the twenty sixth and Taft will be the twenty president, although only twenty-five men will have preceded him in that office
 The confusion arises from calling Cleveland the twenty second and the  twenty-fourth president of the United States because his two terms were separated by another incumbent If the presidential terms were number ed this would be correct, and not only Cleveland, but every eight-year presi- dent should be credited with two terms. It is an anomaly to apply the term method of enumeration to Cleveland alone. This country has had twenty-five presidents and it is impossible for Mckinley to be twen- ty-fifth and Taft the twenty if individuals are means. If we count by presidential terms of four years, the country will have completed thir- ty of these terms on March 4 next, when Mir. Taft will enter upon the thirty first presidential term and be the twenty sixth president.

The third kick (weaker stilD re- lay did not come last. etc. All I can say to this is, that it was impossible to retain the mile track longer; hence any one could see that the relay had to be pulled off before the coyote 'won the pole vault.
 The Highs would have entered a strong team in the relay had it been held over until the last.
 Now comes the sad part: Despite all else, the Highs get (not won) the silver cup"
 Well. that depends on how you look at it-whether it is sad" or glad" The high school is glad with the glad ness that comes with hard-earned and unquestionable victory.
 We have a high regard for the run ners of the Normal track team. for the Normal school as a whole, and we hope that no more inspired stories which are objectionable" will come from any one speaking for the Normal team.
 It makes us not glad" but mad and sad I would ask the Normal track team, the participants, if the article l refer to reflects their views?

THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT
 PLACE.

In the midst of the excitement incl dent to the closing days of the fair, The Republican, on behalf of the fair management, has neglected to ac- knowledge the patriotic services of Observer Jesunofsky in dealing out every day just such weather as the occasion required. Never for a mo- ment did it appear that MT. Jesun- ofsky was losing his grip on meteoro- logical conditions There was such weather, perhaps, nowhere else in the United States, and nowhere else was so much depending on the weather MT. Jesunofsky proved to be the right man in the right place. the Horatius at the Bridge holding back the hosts of wind and rain until the last day of the fair had passed within the portals of history. Now. let Ter go. If there is a man in the weather service who deserves to have his wages raised that man is L. Jesun- ofsky.

PROFESSOR JONES' REPLY.

To the Editor of The Republican, l. On account of false statements, un- just criticisms, contained in an article in Friday mornings issue of The Re publican. written presumably by your Tempe correspondent, concerning the interscholastic meet held at the Ari zona fair, Nox 12. 1908, which he wit messed. am told. from a strategic point in Tempe, receiving telePathic results sufficiently abundant and incorrect to inspire his story" I am impelled not only to refute certain parts of the ar ticle, but also to unequivocally assert that there is no good grounds in fact for such insinuations and false state ments.
 The writer says: "The Normal team returned glad, mad, sad" (notice the climax,) and proceeds in turn to ex- plain why they were dramatically glad, mad, sad" They were glad be cause they broke records, won IS med als to the high schools s, and tied the high school score Oeaving out the oth CT schools). F'inei A worthy record of good sportsmamen. that they are.
 The Normal team, walls the writer, was mad for a number of reasons: "A No. 1 being that Prof. Jones of the high school was in charge of the ar engagements. consequently three events, high hurdles. quarter mile, and broad jump were omitted" This is so bad, though. but the Normals are conced- ed first in all these"
 I omitted these three events solely because the ''Normals are conceded first"
 This is nothing more than a baby ish (sportsman?) vail after defeat. l do not believe this reflects the spirit of the runners on the Normal school.
 The 100 and 200-yard dashes, 220- yard hurdles, half-mile run, and mile relay were selected as the events to be pulled off at the fair in 1907, the high school only entering because they offered a variety and could be pulled off in time allotted by the fair man agement G2: 30-1 D. m).
 September 4, 1908, the same manage ment authorized the second high school meet in the same events, and in addi- tion five more events, including the tug-of war This included nine of the fourteen events. The additional four were selected so that the different forms of physical development would be represented, namely. the -sprints. runs, jumps, hurdles and weights
 Upon my suggestion, the Normal school was invited to compete with the high schools, notwithstanding its higher rank.
 September 1, 1908, before school com menced, the pole vault, the high jump, shot, and hammer were chosen as the additional four events. Were these advantageous to us? Our only pole vaulter and lone high jumper had quit school yet I chosese these. The Nor nal had always beaten us in the shot and hammer still 1 put in these first place events" Further, the half mile and low hurdles could have been ad- vantageously exchanged at that time for the Normal quarter mile and high hurdles. for they had won in the low hurdles, and half miller had left school. Why did l put in the NormaFs star event, the high jump?
 secondly" croaks the beefer, "the relay counted points instead of points. which is customary" Such ath- letic ignorance! Real A. A. U. rule.
