thereafter the nation became known as
the "Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
land.''
Now please notice the distinction. In
the case of the union of England, Scot
land and Wales, it should be borne in
mind that they all lived upon one is
land together. After that when the
|'union between those three peoples was
effected, the name was changed and
the same name, Kingdom Of Great
Britain was applied to them all as
a whole. The union with ireland was
entirely different for we have the con-
nective word 'and"-"K Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland" In effect
ing the union Lord Castlereagh was the
chief instrument in bringing 1t about
and history notes the fact that this man
left Ireland execrated by nearly all Of
his own people and afterwards COM
mftted suicide. Like Judas of old, who
betrayed Christ for 80 pieces Of sill
Yer and later hanged himself, Robert
Henry Stewart betrayed his country
for English gold, an English position
and an English title as Lord Castle
reagh, ana richly mertted the miser-
able end of his unhappy existence.
Monuments to such men as he are a
mockery, a snare and delusion. AS
well might shafts be erected to the
memory OF Benedict Arnold, who
sought to betray Americas strongest
fortress for British gold and a British
Office. and whose name has passed into
history as a traitor. and is execrated
by every American school boy
Yet, Castlereagh, in fit of melan-
cholia. died by his own hand, and we
may be pardoned If we paraphrase- the

The Coming Man.

Do not snub the Office boy.
He Is little; you are great!
He's an atom on the force:
You are such a heavyweight!
Say a kind word to the lad.
Though you may be feeling crosaL
In ten years or m;.ybe less
He may have become the boss.
Do not lord 1t over him
In a. overbearing way.
In a run of several years
Petty antics may not pay.
Later things may come his way
Fortune Is a tickle lass
And he may be signing checks
While you're in the same old class.
Now he doesn't count for shucks;
Every one about the place
Hands him orders right and left.
Keeps linn always on the chase.
II some party makes q Jest
OF his home stitched trousers patch
He'll remember It. you bet,
When he runs the shooting match
When a new and awkward boy
Comes in timidly and shy
No one seeing him can tell
When ] ell catch the boss eye.
Wise ana knowing ones Will
Give the boy the double cross.
For It's mighty hard to pick
From the lot the future boss.

1T is a sure shot that the next mis-
tress Of the White House viii have
a husband whose first name Is
William. VIII the first name Of
the gracious lady herself be Mary or
Helen?
That is the question.
Voters Of the nation must decide this
momentous matter in November. It
is a truly momentous question to
Mary Baird Bryan and Helen Heron
Taft, though probably not one voter In
a million will take this matter into
consideration when he casts his ballot.
Perhaps in Colorado. Wyoming, Utah
and Idaho, where the women vote,
some ballots will be cast for Mrs.
Bryan and Mrs. Taft, though ostensi-
bly, they will be for MI. Bryan and
Mr.. Taft. So far as the rest Of the
country is concerned, mere man will
be ungallantly unconscious Of the fact
that he is voting also for a candidate
for first ladyship.
But it really doesn't matter which
woman wins, except to the respective
candidates and their friends. The
country will be safe and sound SO
cially with either Mrs. Bryan or Mrs
Taft In the executive mansion. Each
woman Is eminently fitted for this higt
dignity. Without casting the slightest
reflection upon any former White
House lady or upon any defeated can
didate for that distinction, it may b<

the first ladyship this year eem to
be by personal attributes and general
experience more admirably adapted to
the duties Of the unofficial Office than
were any pair Of their predecessors in
the race. II education makes for avail
ability and travel makes for culture,
then both Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Bryan
are of the highest availability and cul-
ture. Both are college graduates, and
both have been globe trotters for years.
They have seen the world and the full
ness thereof. Moreover, both are
good old fashioned mothers and home
bodies, and neither is a NEW woman
In the popular meaning.
Mrs. Bryan Is a few years older than
Mrs. Taft, who until the accession Of
Secretary Garfield was the youngest
woman in the circle of cabinet officers
wives. Perry, ILL.,, Is the birthplace Of
Mrs. Bryan. Her father was John
Baird, who died in 1905 at the age Of
eighty-two. Mary Elizabeth Baird
grew up in the wholesome atmosphere
OF a prairie town home in the middle
west. There are hundreds of towns
very much like Perry, but no other n
that has won the distinction of having
a native daughter become the wife and
the presidency Of the United States.
On her mothers side Mrs. Bryan is of
English descent. Her father was
Scotch Irish. Mary Elizabeth attended
the public schools in Perry until she
was ready for what the average girl
considers the finishing school. She
was sent to the celebrated old Monti-
cello seminary at Godfrey, Ill, for one
year and then to the Presbyterian
academy at Jacksonville. Here she
passed two years, being graduated with
the class Of 1881.
A College Romance.
Miss Baird entered the Jacksonville
school as a Junior. In the same town
and the same year William Jennings
Bryan was a junior at Illinois college.
Il was a college romance. There was
an intellectual affinity between them.
For two years they cultivated mutual
acquaintance. Three years after their
graduation there was a quiet wedding
at Perry. the date being Oct. /, 1884.
Mr.. Bryan had completed his law
course and was beginning the practice
Of his profession In Jacksonville. Like
the average young lawyer, he vas poor,
but he was intensely ambitious. Mrs.
Bryan shared his ambitions and deter
mined to be a true helpmeet. To that
end she began the study Of law.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1908-08-12

she proved what a bright woman In
earnest can do by inventing a short
hand system Of her own. BY this sys-
TEN she can catch her husbands dicta-
ton word for word. It is said that
there is only n other s~tenographer
who has been able to do that.
Mrs. Taft also Is q true helpmeet to
her husband. She says that she is
old fashioned enough to believe that
woman is the complement Of man and
that what is most feminine about her
is most attractive to man and there
fore of the greatest utility to the world.
Nevertheless Mrs. Taft is a oma
suffragist. Il have always believed
that women should VOTE" she said re-
Gently. Il favor bestowing upon them
every ci:ic right, but I should like to
put In a prohibitory clause ~debarrtng
them from running for public Office.
With women running for Office I think
the natural scheme would be disjofnt-
ed and the end and aim Of the home
destroyed"
A World Traveller.
Like Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. Taft is her
husbands intellectual comrade. When
ever Mr.. Taft takes up the study Of
some problem Of statecraft. though It
may be as dry as dust, Mrs. Taft pro-
ceeds to inform herself upon the same
topic. Thus she Is enabled to keep
up" with her husband in all his inter-
ests. She has Travelled around the
world with him and has absorbed vatu-
able Information In every country WIS.,
tied.
The Taft love affair was not a col
lege romance. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Taft were born in Cincinnati. Their
families were neighbors and friends.
Mrs. Taft says she cannot remember
O time when she did not know Will.
The children Of the two families visit.
ed back and forth frequently. Mrs.
Taft was Helen Heron. daughter OF
John W. Heron, who used to be q
law partner Of Rutherford B. Hayes,
president Of the United States from
1877 to 1881. It was while young Taft
was In Yale that the interesting under
standing between the young couple
came to a point. The Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette Of June 20, 1886, tells
Of a quiet home wedding at the Her
ron domicile the evening Of the 10th
and gives this bit Of description Of the
brides costume. which should be read
with interest by the women Of today:
