presidential possibility. The vice
president always is. There is a
possibility that the president may die.
resign or be impeached.
Some profess that Mr.. Fairbanks is
also a possibility through the usual
channels of nomination and election.
That may be. though ho| or why
must confess is a mystery to me.
This is not the only mystery in con-
nection with the vice president. Some
years ago story went the rounds that
he was born in log house. That tale
was assiduously circulated all over the
country. At the same time the i'm
preston was conveyed that to be born
in log house was quite an act of vir-
tue on his part. Some imaginative art
lists even went to the length Of making
on it. 1t was no fault of the bureau Of
publicity that the cabin Of the Fair
banks nativity did not become as ia
nous as that in which Abraham Lin
coin saw the light.
Then some heartless iconoclast kicked
over both the story and the cabin. The
denial was published far and wide and
got red in the face trying to overtake
and throttle the original lie. Mr.. Fair
banks was not born in log house. He
didn't like log houses anyway and if he
passed one would go on the other side
Of the road

men taller than Fairbanks that have
not been captured by the dime mu-

were taller, though neither of them had
so much uncrackable dignity.
Mr.. Fairbanks has lofty brow.
which has long struggled to be bald,
but has been repressed by a stern
hand. A bald head is too outspoken
and reckless for man Of the close
and methodical habits of the vice pres

Observer of Immaculate Order.
The desk Of the presiding officer Of
the senate never saw such perfect,
prim and painful regularity since the
advent of Fairbanks. Every pad, blot
ter, pencil, pen and inkstand has it's
own place and is arranged with pre-
else regularity fourteen times a day.

feet propriety extends to the Fairbanks
speech, whisker and hair. If he tells a
story-and he does at times-it is a
most decorous story. His beard is al
ways trimmed to the same pattern.
His hairs are so precisely plastered
down that if one of them should be-
come disarranged in his sleep he GER
ta1nly would wake up and straighten it..
IT ''order is heavens first law" the
vice president can prove an alibi if he
is ever accused of breaking it.
MI. Fairbanks has many remarka BILE
qualities. For one thing he loves his
mother-in-law. and she loves him.
When a man has the unqualified ap-
prevail of his wife's mother, it is a sign
either that he is very nearly a paragon
or that he has made a deliberate cam
paign to win her over.
Another notable trait of Fairbanks is
his unfailing good nature. He can
work all day and all night, make seven
teen speeches a day or campaign
through the cactus and sagebrush dis
tricts and come out of it all as fresh
and composed as at the beginning. He
can be run over by the political band
wagon and get up without single ruff
f1e in his serenity or dent in his dig

proved recently when the band wagon

Roosevelt and Mr.. Fairbanks. or it
may be their difference in temnera-
ment. 1t would be hard to imagine
two men more unlike
Fairbanks is the apotheosis of the
safe and sane, the beau ideal of the
stand patter. He is as safe as the
Erie railroad, which seldom or never
has wrecks, because it does not run
fast enough. The only severe recent
accident on the Erie was caused nv a
COW overtaking an express train and
biting a passenger on the rear plat
form. That joke is old enough to have
come from Chauncey Nj. Depew, but
it did not. Senator Depew never goes
against the railroads even in his hu-
NOR.
Celebrated Exploit.
One of the most humane and heroic
incidents in the life of Mr.. Fairbanks
was that Of jumping into a lake and
saving the life of a waitress. The ex-
plot has been celebrated in song and
story. 1t made the vice president at
once the favorite Of all the waitress
ladies, cook ladies and wash ladies in
the nation. If they could vote there
would be no question of the result.
The act had so fine a flavor of 70.
nance that inmates Of young ladies'
seminaries and readers Of Laura Jean
Libbey were melted into raptures. If
they could hold a national convention
the nominees would be something like
this:
For President-Charles Warren Fair
banks of Indiana.
For Vice Observation-Disclosures Pear
son Hobson Of Alabama.
Platform-Vote the all hero ticket
But, alas, romance and politics never
did go together. 1t now looks as though
somebody would be named who never
did anything more heroic than saving
his home delegation.
When Mr.. Fairbanks was a bow he
was once in danger of drowning him
self and was rescued by a playmate.
Perhaps he thought he owed it to the
world to preserve life in return. In
the language Of the Sunshiners:
If somebody saves your life,
IdSS IL on.
BE a hero in the STRIFE"
Pass it on.
Into fame If you would break
Then the limelight neer forsake:
Drag waitress from q lake.
Pass it on.
The first Office ever held by Mr.. Fair
banks was that of United States sena-
tor. Soon after going to the upper
house he was unanimously elected to
succeed Daniel W. Voorhees, as the Of
fetal and only Tall Sycamore of the
Wabash I do not know the exact
qualifications for this ancient and hon.
orable title except that the holder must
be Hoosier and statesman and must
approximate seven feet in height. Fair
banks was next elected vice president
after Uncle Joe Cannon had broken at
least one commandment and cracked
the atmosphere in declining it.

Calm and NoncommittaI.

The vice president can see all sorts
Of things happen to him and still re-
main an optimist. Taft may rage on
one side and Cannon on the other,
Cortelyou and the administration may
take away all the southern delegates,
the president may say things about
him, the photographers may call him
the animated fagpole and the human
icicle, and the political weeklies may
devote pages to his record as a cor
poration attorney, but these things af-
feet him not at all. When the storm
is over he is as calm, immaculate, nom
, committal and foxy as ever. It is be-
lieved that he never was excited in his
life, An earthquake would not even
make him raise his voice.
It is whispered in Washington,
which is one vast whispering gallery,
that the president does not love the
vice president. What is there in hui
man nature that makes a man dislike
the fellow who is looking for his
shoes? The king detests the heir ap-
parent, though his own son. It may
be this unconscious motive which

A Native BuCkeve.

Mr.. Fairbanks was born in Ohio.
This fact would doubtless make him
president were there not so many other
; Ohio candidates in the field. Taft, Har-
mon and Foraker are all native Buck
eyes, and Tom L. Johnson, although
not born in the state, made up for the
deficiency as soon as possible.
Geographically the District of Column
bia borders on Maryland and Virginia,
but politically it is adjacent to Ohio

aged to squeeze out one president, and
he was born in Ohio. Charles Warren
Fairbanks is now trying to follow in
the footsteps Of Benjamin Harrison
and. considering the build Of the two
men, should have no trouble in doing
so. You never can tell by the length of
mans legs, however, how fast he can
go in a political foot race.
If presidents were elected by the
yard Fairbanks would have all COM
petitors beaten at least a foot; if they
were chosen by the pound Taft would
have every other head hitting the cell
Ing, but if measured by the size of the
present occupant of the White House,
where, oh. where is the man to fill the
bill?
Fairbanks is fifty-fve years old and
is reputed to be millionaire. His en-
emies are disposed to ask where he
got it, which in this age of trusts and
horse trading politicians is a very en-
barrassing question. If most members
Of the United States senate had that
query put to them the stiffness of the
grave would be noisy compared to the
ensuing silence.
Popular at College.
One Of the brightest spots in the life
Of Charles Warren Fairbanks is his
career in college: He paid his way for
the most part, doing carpenter work
or any other useful thing by which he
could earn an honest dollar. He made
himself popular with his fellows by
| standing up for them in struggles with
! the faculty and by leading the local fire
company. Despite his hard work on
the outside he took honors in gradual
, ing.
| Mark Hanna liked Fairbanks for the
reason that he was safe enough to
stand without hitching and would go
anywhere and do any kind of work in
a campaign.
Mrs. Fairbanks is a better politician
than her husband. She was at one
time president of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, which is the
apex Of officeholding in the feminine
world, just as the presidency Of the
United States is in the masculine. She
was a fellow student with Mr.. Fair
banks in college. If he does not win
out in this struggle the failure will be
due to no lack Of ambition or ability
on her part.
It is said that the friends of the
vice president never grow sufficiently
intimate to slap him on the back.
What is the reason? Are they afraid
he would break?

Warm Handshaker.

Despite these puzzling circumstances
Mr.. Fairbanks looks like anything but
man of mystery. True, he does not
unbosom his thoughts with all the
abandon of schoolgirl, yet he conveys
the impression that he would not har-
Dor a secret unless he thought its
avowal would lose him votes. He
meets everybody with a warm hand
shake, kind word and dignity that
could be disturbed by nothing less
than dynamite. Mr.. Fairbanks shrinks
from making enemies and hurting peo-
pies feelings. 1t is this that causes
him to hesitate about giving way to
positive statements. An uncompro-
missing opinion is almost sure to lar
somebody.
There is one respect in which the
newspapers have done Mr.. Fairbanks
grave injustice. They have sought tc
create the impression that he is the
tallest man in. the world when such is

third story. This was to the effect that
Mr.. Fairbanks was born in a log house
AFTER all, but that as soon as he was
old enough he burned it down with his
own hands. The fertile rOmancer who
got up this yarn went into details. He
told now the house was surrounded by
shaVlngs, how young Fairbanks ignited
these and how the furniture was barely
saved. The motive Of the infantile in
cendlary was not mentioned, but it was
doubtless an early attempt to make i'm
possible these very log house stories.
II Vice President Fairbanks has tried
to read all the fiction about his BIRTH
place, it is dollars to doughnuts that he
does not know what kind of a house he
was born in. At least do not, nor do I

Another Fairbanks mystery relates
10 the famous cocktail episode. Nobody
KNOWS to this day who ordered those
cocktails. The probability is that it
was Loeb. Loeb has to stand for so
many things that this additional bur-
tden should not bother him, whereas
the vice president, whose reputation
Tor temperance has gained him the
universal sobriquet Of "Buttermilk
Charley" suffers severely from the
Stigma. On the strength of the mere
suspicion that he did this heinous thing
his church refused to send him as a
lay delegate, and various ministers
said things about him that were worse
than the Democrats ever thought of
saying.
