The movement to extend the lat

the approval on the part of the
citizens of Montpelier, and it is now
practically an assured fact that ex-

almost every one approached has
responded readily TO the movement.
The plan is to issue water script
which will be good for the payment
of water rental. This will mean
that the people on side streets will
have to pay the expense of putting
in the laterals, but the money Sc
advanced to the city will pay theil
water rental in advance to that ex

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 Uxbridge that even 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
was historical addTess 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 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 il he could have fore
seen how uiIinLylv opd NriIIfaptI,, Aha
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 food
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 ef magnanimous disposition"
He had four sOns
Aaron, the candidates ancestor, was
also so magnanimous that ne lost
money by indorsing friends notes;
he was man ''of great intelligence
and integrity And then, going some
what further back, there was Captain

prowess." Good stock was Captain.

Better Fire
Protection

1t is not the intention of the writer
to find fault with our present fire
department which in itself is an ex-
ample of efficiency and exemplified
afertness, size and equipment consid-
cred, compared to other departments,
but the subject to be brought before
proper authorities is the lack of suf-
ficient men to handle the equipment
as it should be handled. If it is a
question of good enough" and not
OF how good we can make our fire
department, this article is certainly
amiss; but if the taxpayers desire
that which they are paying for it
surely behooves one or more of them
to appear before the county commits
sioners or the present grand jury and
demand that a reasonable amount of
their fire tax be expended for fire
protection instead of having it di-
verified to use upon streets and high
ways 1t is only fair to state that our
little fire department, though valiant
and alert, would hardly be able to
cope with fire of any magnitude,
and of what good are streets and
highways when the town is devastat-
ed by flames. Further. is it proper
that taxpayers are obliged to see
their money paid for fire protection
used in improving the streets, very

HOW TAFT WAS SOUGHT BY
M'KINLEY.
The Manner in Which the Republi-
can Candidate Was Called to a
Larger Sphere of Action.

Vne manner In which the hepubl1-
can Candidate Was Called to a
Larger Sphere Of Action.
One afternoon early in 1900, when
Judge William H. Taft was debating
decision of the United States Court
in the Federal Building in Cincinnati,
a telegram was placed in his hands
He tore off the envelope and was sur.
prised to find telegram from Presi-
dent William Mckinley reading:
Il shall take it as great favor if you
will call on me some time next week"
Judge Taft guessed at the meaning
of the summons and guessed wrong.
He went to Washington and was shown
into a room at the White House, where
he met the President and Secretary
Long of the Navy. Later, Elihu Root,
the Secretary of War, came in Then,
to use Mr.. Taft's own words:
"Mr. Mckinley said that he wanted to
send me to the Philippines to help in the
work of establishing civil government as
tuc army 'HIuNtu Ou. IHOuHull OIL my
place on the bench and hestated. Be
sides, l believed and said we could get
along without the Philippines.
But we have them and must take
care of them the President replied
You are at the turning of the ways
in your life,' Mr.. Root then observed.
The bench is the easy road You can
stay there and be comfortable. On the
contrary. the Philippines will demand per-
sOnal sacrifices and risks and much hard
work, but you will have an opportunity
of doing your country very great ser
vice went home and argued the mat
ter for two weeks"
The telegram to Cincinnati opened
the door of American history to Will
liam II. Taft and made him the Repub-
lican candidate for President Of the
United States.
