TAFT COMES FROM GOOD STOCK.
Family Ranked Among the Plain
People for Many Years.


The Tafts-those who at present are
the Tafts-hail ancestrally from Tx
bridge, Mass. They say that Tafts are
so thick in Uxbrldge that even a wom-
an can't throw stone without hitting
one.
Some years ago-in 1874, to be exact
there was Taft reunion In Tx
bridge, to which descendants Of the
original Robert Taft came focking
from all parts of the country. One Of
the conspicuous features of the affair
was historical address by Alphonso
Taft, father of the present Republican
candidate. He traced the history OF
various branches of the family, and
when he came to the one to which he
and his children belonged he said:
"Our family have not embarked much
upon national politics, except that they
have shared in the battles of the cOun-
try when national independence was
to be won, and also when the Union
was at stake. But brilliant political
careers have not been characteristic of
the Tafts in the past. 1t is not safe to
say what may be in store for them.
There Is a tide in the affairs of men
and also of families"
This is taken from the account of
the reunion published at the time. AL
phonso Taft would perhaps have been
somewhat daZZled If he could have fore.
seen how quickly and brilliantly the
family would proceed to embark upon
national politics" He himself started
the turn Of the tide which he predict.
ed. 1t seems to be reaching it's flood
in the career Of the son who that year
was entering Yale.
AS Alphonso Taft described his i'm
mediate ancestors one sees where his
son got certain characteristics. Peter
Taft (1715) was "a large, cookbook
ing man of magnanimous disposition.
He had four SONS.
Aaron, the candidates ancestor, was
also so magnanimous that ne lost
money by indorsing a friends notes
he was man "of great intelligence
and integrity" And then, going some
what further back, there was Captain
William Taft, who took Barney Cas-
tie In the sixteenth century "by BLAIR
ney quite as much as by military
prowess." Good stock was Captain
William from which to make twen-
tieth century Secretary of War VIII,
liam.

experience, whose training and whose
sound and wholesome fashion Of grasp

Taft.
ale Is not crusader, he Is states
man with conscience. He has won his
present position through a cheerful, I'M

duty, through actually achieving things
on the open field Of action, through an
intelligent conception Of the strength

with its checks and balances and the
strength and capacity Of our citizen,

"No man ever had deeper regard
for the fundamental principles and pre-

founded, and no one ever had firmer
conviction that the constitution Is
sufficient chart by which to measure all
rights and obligations and to gauge all
the demands and all the aspirations
and restrain and control all the reck-
lessness of this indomitable race of
ours. Trained in the law, eleven years
on the bench, he explored well the
sources of Jurisprudence and carried
away from his work an everlasting de-
votion to order and justice.
"Under all circumstances and under
all emergencies, he has proved himself
brave. clean-minded, self-poised and
courageous statesman. No man can put
his finger upon a little or cowardly
act, an incompetent or questionable

bureau at Washington.

lowing to say Of the concentration Of
wealth In America

known possessions Of those Of moderate
means, and then add the lowest popular
estimates Of the possessions Of our
millionaires, we have an aggregate far

under such circumstances Is irresistible

 Next morning he found both doors wide open and no evidence whatevel that the building had been broken into His keys were also in his pocket and were hard to duplicate
 Mr. Moore is Inclined to believe that the thief concealed himself behind the counter and was lock- ed within.
 Quite a quantity of goods and some small change belonging to Mir. Moore was also missing.

In his annual report. Chief of Police W. H. Tayior laid particular stress on the need for more modern quarters TOT the city.s prisoners, and explained the dangers of the present lookup A sur vey of the prison quarters in the pres ent station house by several interested citizens, has given rise to much taik on the subject advocating the recom- msndation of the Chief.
 Tn regard to fire, the cells are It, eral trap to the unfortunate ones m side. The cells are in the heart or the building and are built of old wood dry as tinder. that when once on nie the fire department would stand pracu- csily no chance of extinguishing them. The cells form a quadrangle bounded by halls with rooms on all sides between the Iock-up and the street.

 A fire in the cells would be almost out of reach of tho fire department. There Is not enough ventilation to get rid of the smoke and the iremen would in a few moments be forced out of the building. A fve-minute start of fire woNld mean death to the people in the cells. and if any could be gotten out. they would be out and gone for keeps Had the architect who designed the

But that also Is one of the main troubles. Besides the doors leading into the cell rooms. every cell has separate lock. and each lock key that will At no other. Tn the con- fusion of a fire the chance of keeping tho prisoners from being roasted alive would be an impossibility.
 Besides the danger from fire. the caretakers have to be constantly at work In an effort to keep the place clean. 1t is an impossibillty to keep down the vcrmin pest, and sanitation Is equally as hard to attend to. The wooden floors absorb all moisture, and in the gloomy chambers it Is next to guess work to say whether the floors have been thoroughly secured or not. Sunlight in the cells has not been seen since the roof of the place was put on. and if an epidemic ever breaks out in the place. its eradication would be pos- slble only through the aid of Divine providence.
