TAFT-Ai MAN AMONGs MEN

lfHt-. ~ :. IS vs. -
The colored man down South
who said that. he liked Mr.. Ia 1T
because of his "pussonal magni.
tude" was right, both in spirit !
and exuressiony even if he had
failed to choose the word that be I
wanted. ! If it is true, as fire..
.uuently insisted, that an unpopu-
lar man is never elected to office.
Mr.. Taft need have no fears of
defeat on that score. No student
ever left Yale. no official ever
filled the seat Of the Secretary OF
War, no American was ever a
power in the Philippines, Gu pa
and Panama; no judge lever sat
upon the bench who was more
popular with his associates md
those with whom he came in con-
tact than Mr., Taft. : His quality
of love for his. fellows, his desire
to be helpful to them is as broad
and, all-emhra cling as his person.
ality is magnetic, sunny, insplr-
ing. AS DR.. Lyman Abbott W ell
wrote of Mr.. Taft: i i gid -
"It is this intensely human
quality in Mr.. Taft that gives
him his popular sobriquet of
"Bill" Taft. He likes men and
he likes all sorts of, men except
those that are dishonest or dis
loyal. He was the most popular
governor the Philippines ever
had. This was not wholly be-
cause he was absolutely just, was
loyal to their interests, urged the
earliest possible substitution OF
civil law FOR military law and Of
fered an invipcible opposition t.
all schemes of exploiting the Is
lands for the benefit of unscrup
lous American pioneers. He wa
the personal t riend of the F FIili
pinos; he believed in them. de

them. This last fact, I am in

TEXTBOOK DEALERS PROFITS.
All Expenses and Velvet Must Come
From Margin of 10 Per Cent.

Cuero. Texas, Aug. 25.-The new
school book law seems to be great
outrage on local book dealers. They
are only permitted to make 10 per
cent f. o. b. Dallas, and must pay the
freight, clerk hire, insurance, rent,
take all risks, and then such eXactions
are made as to exchanges of old
books as to make it perfectly ridicu-
lous. For instance, if there is miss
ing page, married sheet, an injured
back and a variety of other particular
tiles, the book is thrown back on the
local dealers hands as his loss. 1t
doesn't take much of figurer in this
case to show where the local dealers
profits will be.

OFFICERS ARE IMPROVING
Unless Complications Set In the Two
Houston Officers, Wounded Mon
day, Will Recover.

Houston, Texas, Aug. 25.-Oficers
G. W. Heck and NJ Monroe, who were
shot Monday morning on San Felipe
street by Joe Kemper, are still in a
very critical condition Both have
been fighting death itself since they
were wounded, and now it seems that
recover. 1t was at first thought that
Officer Heck was not wounded so
very seriously, at any rate not so
seriously as Officer Monroe, but it
seems that he has taken a turn for
the worse and appears to be, if any
thing, more seriously wounded than
a:rsae For a time it was thought
there was no hope at all for hir,l.
but he has so rallied that he now
seems to be improving all the time.
Officer Monroe seems to be improving
also. His strong constitution and
physique seem to be in his favor and
he may pull through. An inquiry late
tonight at the Houston Infirmary,
where the two wounded men are rest
ing, brought the reply that they were
doing very well and unless complica-
lions set in that there was hope for
their recovery. 1t was said, however,
that complications might set in at any
moment which would render their con-
dition practically hopeless. The fam
lilies of the wounded men are with
them and are doing all in their power
to administer to their wants.
