time TO make q tour OF the world and to travel all over the country
as a fast rising favorite for the presidency. 1t is not surprising in
view of his achievements, his record as a getter OF results as a
doer, that President Roosevelt says of him: Taft is the
biggest going concern in the country He keeps going all the time
He works from 8 o'clock in the morning till midnight He not only
works hard, but plays hard, laughs hard, sleeps hard, eats hard and
sometimes hits hard when reused"
When he entered Yale college in 1874. young Taft settled down
to capture ali the honors, which industry and ability could reach
His father was then a member of Grants cabinet, but that did not
bother big Bill" And he got the honors, too, without being a grind.
AS William Allen White says, HE danced we'll, sang well, wrestled
we'll, wore his clothes well. and probably lcafed well. but never for
got the main business of nfe-tog get an education. And he did the
job we'll. finished it up, rounded 1T on, put in good measure and quit
the second man in a class of 40 boys"
Near the close of his college life young Taft showed the fine
sense of honor, which later prompted him to stack and dethrone Boss
Cox as the political dictator Of Cincinnati and decline all COM
promises with Senator Foraker. The class of 1878 had a spirited
election to choose the class orator, and Taft was elected by a single
vote. But after the election charges were made that some of Tafts
overenthusiastic supporters had resorted to means to gain votes,
which might legiimately be criticized. Taft promptly resigned the
honor. Students appealed to him to reconsider his decision, insist
ing that he was honestly elected. but Taft had only me answer.
"As long as there is a single blot upon my title, 1 won't take it," So
the class held another election and he was chosen almost unant
mously. Strangely enough the future Secretary of War chose as the
subject of his grafton, THE Vitality Of the Democratic Party" Those
who heard that Grafton still say that as an exposition of the theory
Of politics in a democratic form of government 1t was unsurpassed.
During the succeeding two years. while studying law at the
Cincinnati Law school, Taft earned pocket money and gained much
valuable experience as a reporter, an occupation he followed reg
ularly for nearly a year after securing his sheepskin. He worked
for a while under Muat Halstead. and they do say that he made
things hum. while pushing the rsPOrtOriAl pencil He had a fond
