One Of the most noticeable Of the ex-

nothing against Taft on this score,
however. He has not fashion plate
face nor is his form that of an Apollo,
although there is more of it.
Secretary Taft is big In everything
except his voice. This is SO small
that, coming from so large a man, it
suggests the proverbial mountain that
brought forth a mouse. However. it
carries far. having been heard all the
way from Porto Rico to the Philip
pines.
Winner of Mems Hearts.
Some wise newspaper correspondent
in writing Of the mystery of Mr.. Taft"
announces tremendous discovery. He
solemnly declares that the secret Of
the big secretary is that "he wins the
hearts Of individuals. but he does not
fire the heart of the sovereign multi
tude." That is good example Of
phrasemaking, but does it hold wa
ter? What is the sovereign multi
tude" but collection of individuals?
II one has the faculty of making those
he meets his friends. will he not make
the masses his friends as soon as they
know him? Until comparatively re-
cent date Mr.. Taft has never come
into intimate personal contact with the
American multitude. But he did not
fail in winning the collective hearts Of
the Filipinos or the Porto Ricans or
any other people that have become ac-
Quainted with him.
Even granting the sapient CORE
spondent's sweeping assertion. howev-
er. what does It all amount to? Where
In does it initiate against Mr.. Taft's
presidential prospects? How many Of
our presidents have had the faculty Of
firing the heart Of the sovereign null
titude7" Have they not been Of the
more dignified and less dashing type
that can inspire individual respect
rather than elicit the cheers OF the
crowd? Magnetic leaders like the
Clays. the Websters, the Blaines and
the organs have missed the presidency.
which has gone to the Harrisons. the
Hayeses and the Clevelands.
OF course President Roosevelt is h
notable exception to this general rule.
but It must never be forgotten that
his first entry into the White House
was because OF an assassin's bullet.
Therefore It b scarcely fair to argue
from his case as precedent.
Mrs. Taft, by the way. Is the daugh-
ter OF q former law partner Of Ruth
erford B. Hayes and was guest Of

House thirty years ago. Probably she

Since he is the avowed administra-
ton candidate, the battle at present
RACES about the ample form OF Sec
rotary Taft. Taft's abundant smile
and comfortable form do not look very
much like a battle center, but you
never can tell by the loudness Of a
mans laugh the amount OF ginger
there is in him. The most amiable
men are usually the best fighters.
Never attack a man because heahas a
baby blue eye and a grin Of childlike
Innocence.
Secretary of Peace"
Despite the fact that Taft has called
himself the secretary of peace and has
made matches and settled quarreis in
two hemispheres, there was time
when he led class scrimmages in col
lege and whipped an editor who libeled
his father. His frequent and infec-
tious laugh may be freighted with op-
timism and good nature, but his nose.
and chin are those OF a warrior.
