TAFT WILL RECEIVE
WARM WELCOME IN
KANSAS CITY
Missouri Republicans Are
Preparing to Greet Sec.
retdry February 10.

Kansas City. Mo. Jan. Elm
much more than a general sense it
can be said that Secretary Taft will
find himself among friends when he
makes his visit to Kansas City Feb
ruary 10, to address the young re-
publicans OF Missouri. He will, in
all truthfulness, be coming to his
own. He will receive a welcome
even more cordial than any with
which he has been greeted on for
mer occasions when he has been en-
tertained by the people of this COM
munity
In all of the qualities which con-
tribute TO the valuable possesson of
merited popularity Secretary Taft
shows constant development and
expansion. He is, without doubt, a
stronger man before the public than
he was when he was in Kansas City
?, me months ago. The things that
he does have the happy effect of
pleasing the people and winning
their approval. His rarely direct and
lucid exposition in Boston of the
causes leading to the panic was only
an example. His public utterances
are replete with enlightenment and
give proof always of conscience and
of judgment that is rooted in the
firmest integrity.
Kansas City, in its fiber and tenn
perameut is a Taft town. II lies
on tnS borders Of two safes that are,
heart and soul. for Taft 1t is what
could be well called a "coign of
vantage" for the Taft influence. 1t
will afford to the secretary of war
an especially auspicious and advan-
tageous forum. What he says here
will command instant and effective
attention. 1t is as If a commanding
advocate of a great cause were plac-
ed on some splendid eminence from
which TO make himself felt and
heard.
The efect of Secretary Taft's visit
to Kansas City may be readily fore
told. It will be to contribute mo-
mentum TO the regeneraing forces
for which ne stands and which the
people desire him to carry forward
as president of the United states.

CAPABLE MEN FIND OTHER
WALKS MORE ATTRACTIVE
There Should be a Service Corps
to Do the Work and Other Things
Unmilitdry That Soldiers Are
Now Called Upon to
Perform.

Washington, d. c.. Jan. Sec
retary Taft is a strong advocate of
Increased pay for the army and his
annual report just sent to congress
completely dispels any doubt as to
his position.
The report shows rapid decrease
in the strength of the regular army
ing 4,42S men, and the present need
for officers to replace those now de-
tailed on recruiting duty and as mill
tary instructors in educational in
stitutions.
Secretary Taft declares that while
to explain the difficulty a sufficient
one is to be found in inadequacy of
army pay.
There are too many other walks
of life in which an able bodied man
can make more money to make the
army attractive. Men with college
education, capable of being officers
and filing the social position of Of
ficers, can make more money in a
business life than they can in the
army. More pay for officers and
men is Secretary Tafts solution OF
the question.
should be Attractive.
The secretary also recommends
the creation of general service
amount of unmiltary work that they
are now called upon TO perform.
He believes that the military SER
vice should he so attractive and de-
sirable that it Will not be difficult
to get hold OF the class of men need
ed for the enlisted personnel and to
make the army service life work as
it used TO be by offering rewards for
proficiency and greater increase oi
pay for length of service.

London, Aug. li.-Sir Merrlk Bur

ter of Walter Winans, formerly Of

mony again. Today he was married
to Miss PorterPorter beautiful girl
belonging TO Sussex family of note.
II was only last October that the
matrimonial troubles of Sir Merrick
and his beautiful and well lowered
wife attracted notice on both sides
Of the Atlantic After a sensational
trial. In which the baronet charged
his wife with having run away with
Captain Henry King of the Royal
Horse Guards, a divorce was granted
to the injured husband The wife, &C.
cording to the evidence, left not only
her husband, but her three children
behind In her flight.
Sir MerrIck Is n very good looking
young follow and universally popular.
and his many friends trust that his
second marriage will prove happier
than his first lie is one of the few
Engllshmen of title who married
American heiresses who cannot be
charged with having welded for mon.
oy Though the father of his Amer
lean bride, Mr., Winans Is immensely
wealthy. still It is to be doubted If
his fortune is equal to that possessed
by the young baronCt, The mother of
the latter was a daughter of sir Rob.
ert Lodcr, who left fortune of some
10000, 600 of which she received the
larger share, and which descended to
her son.
