ment from the bench that we shall find
the most remarkable evolutions In Mr..
Taft's development az ar American
statesman.
The country had gone through an un-
sought war, the successful outcome Of
which imposed new and enormous re-
sponsibiiities upon the National Gov
eminent, and placed the United States
in the attitude Of a first class power,
obliged to face the perils Of permanent
contact with Old World n%ationalities.
Momentous problems arose-partly ra-
cial, partly religious, partly constitu-
tional-all complex and urgent. They
required an immediate revision and en-
largement Of American foreign policy.
They required also the services OF a
new school of American statesmen and
diplomats, who should be constructive.
self-reliant and capable of dealing with
grave conditions in a manner creditable
to the National honor and just to in
ternational interests.
Among the patriotic, broad-minded
statesmen whom this changed condition
Of international affairs called into the
service of the United States one has
eXerted SO wide or so wholesome an in
iuence as William Howard Taft.
Porto Rico and the Philippines had be-
come American territory, requiring
American treatment. Cuba. an indie
pendent nation by the grace of the
United States, had become an object
of kindly solicitude to the Government
ut Washington, and has been ever since.
The Republic Of Panama came into eX-
istence, bringing with it the terrific
rial understanding essential to the con
structiOn of the istnmian canal, but
with 1t also anne enlarged posslDlll-
ties of discord In Central America
against which the United states is OF
it's own volition the suarantor.
That these vexatious problems have
all thus far advanced toward an hOn-
orable solution is due more to William
Howard Taft than to any other tndi-
vidual. He has been the builder and
exemplar Of the new American policy.
He has given to the inhabitants of u
insular possessions a convincing assur-
anco OF the integrity of American pur-
pose. To the Philippines, to Hawaii.
to Porto Rico and to Panama he has
gone as a messenger of American good
will and fair play-and ia all those
territories he is gratefully recognized
as their friend and protector. In him
they have an advocate OF the forces
and methods that make for peace, pro
gress and brotherhood under Ameri-
can sovereignty.
Mr.. Taft is a many-sided man. He
works hard aud plays hard. He radi-
ates geniality and sunshine. As a
judge he was both just and gentle.

courtesy, tact, sympathy and forbear-

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.
A Man Who Has Done Things.

Responding to the call of the Nh,
lion for a man equal to the emergen,
cies confronting the Republic, the
people themselves have found him and
presented him to the electorate.
Naturally, the people sought among
themselves for IL truly representa-,
tive to the highest ideals of American
citizenship. Their misunderstanding
and correct valuation of men led them
to the individual who more thoroughly
than any other fulfilled their require
nents-and that was William Howard

would designate himself. That desig-
nation, however, is grossly Inadequate.
For while Mr.. Taft is an American of
americans, he is also a citizen of the
world who, as invited guest, counselor
and adviser Of foreign governments,
has exerted an influence for peace and
International good will unsurpassed by
hat Of any other American statesman.

The dignity Of private citizenship.
Which he enjoys to-day, is In perfect

In the frank, fearless, boyhood and

That promise has been completely and
splendidly fulfilled. The serious af-
fairs Of life appealed irresistibly to the
young collegian after his graduation,
and at the early age Of twenty-four he
appeared as Assistant Solicitor In his
home country.
Mr.. Taft's professional advancement
from the position of Superior Court
Judge and Solicitor General to a seat
on the bench of the United States Dis
trict Court was due solely to a frank
recognition Of his proved integrity, his
diligence and impartiality in the ad.

The kinu's Cock Grower.

In the good old time there was an
English court official known as the
kings cock Grower. 1t seems a strange
office. Why did the king require Il cock
Grower, and why could not the common
barn door variety serve his majesty's
purpose? The reason, as you shall see,
was that the barn door variety cannot
be depended upon for times and hours,
and he has never been persuaded to oh
serve Lent. Now, this was Il pious Gus
tom and Il religious duty. All through
Lent the kings cock Grower crowed
instead of calling the hours Of the night
in the palace. He began on Ash
Wednesday, when he entered the hall
in which the kings supper was served
and then crowcd the hour in the pres
ence of the royal party. The meaning
of the custom Is obvious. 1t was only
one of the many ways in which the
history of the Christian religion was
brought home to the minds of people
before the reading Of the gospel in the
ycrnacuar. The Office was continued
down TO the year 1S22.-London Queen.

The Dou's Tail.

4 prominent citizen was on trial
charged with harboring a vicious dog.
The attorney for the defense had
been consulting a dog expert and had
learned that if a dog holds his tail up
over his back when he barks he is not
angry. while If he holds it straight out
behind him he IS in Il belligerent, blood
thirsty frame of mind. Anxious to air
lis newly acquired information, the
lawyer began cross questioning the
osecuting witness thus:
"Now, did you notice the position in
which this dogs tail was held when he
came at youT'
II did not" said the witness, ''for
that was not the end from which

"The Greatest Widower."

This is said to he the title of genu-
inc essay evolved some years ago by
boy in Il Welsh board school:
King Henry VIII. was the greatest
widower that ever lived. He was born
at Ammo Domini in the year 1866. He
had 80 wives besides children. The
first was beheaded and executed. The
second was revoked. She never smiled
again. But she said the word Calais
would be found on her heart after her
death. The greatest man in this reign
was Lord Sir Garret Wolsey. He was
sir named the Boy Bachelor. He was
born mt the age of II, unmarried.
Henry Will was succeeded on the
throne by his grandmother, the
beautiful and accomplished Mary
queen Of Scots. sometimes known as
the Lady of the Lake."
