How to Get Strong
September 10, 1908.

=. J. Daily, of 1247 W. Congress ST.,
Chicago, tells away to get strong:
He says: "My mother, who If old
and was very feeble, Is deriving so
much benefit from Electric Bitters,
that feel it's my duty to tell those
who need a tonic and strengthening
medicine about 1t. In my mothers
case marked gain in flesh has re-
suited, insomnia has been overcome,
and she Is steadily growing strong

NelSe OuderkIrk.

For the last two years, Nelse Ouder-
kirk has been constable of Elko. Dur
ing that time he has had a rough ell
ement to deal with, but this has not
caused him to fail in the performance
of his duty. He has always gone where
duty called him.
In the performance of his duties, he
has doubtless made enemies, but this is
the lot that falls to all faithful officers.
During his present term, he has pre-
served good order in town and has kept
it free from the criminal element.
He is candidate for the position
again and, if elected, promises to per-
form his duty as faithfully in the future
as he has in the past,
His record is before the people of Elko
and upon that he asks their support.
He has no official action to apologize
for. He feels that he has simply done
his duty as an officer and that calls for
no apology.
He submits his record to the judgment
of the voters and by that he will abide.

A CONTRAST.

When the panic came on last fall,
when confidence in the banks was shaken
when there was grave danger that
numerous depositors might make the
situation tenfold worse by rash action
Mr.. Bryan came promptly and pa
POLITICALLY to the rescue, says the Omaha
World-Herald. 1t wasn't a Bryan panic
or a.domestic panic. The responsibility
was all with the republican administra-
ton. The worse the situation got, the
harder would he the recoil on the adj
ministration III power. Under the cir
cumstances some opposition leaders
might have tried craftil5 to add fuel to
the flames Others would have felt they
were doing their full duty if they re-
manned silent, aud left the republican
p"" al us best it could with it's
town panic.
Law 4. Bryan put aside all unworthy
and selfish motives, and came, us Il good
citizen, to the rescue. All that was in
amy one mans power he did to allay the
panic, to quell fears, to bring relief to
business and enterprise that was threat
ened.
That was Mr. Dryan's way.
Mr.. Taft's way is different. For pa
tri0tism ana selfish reasons he has con-
verified himself into an alarmist Be-
cause he thinks it will help his candidacy
for president he is willing to unsettle
ll1S tn A iSt1 ri, .,
mote fear. and disaster, by calling,
SaSSandra- like, that unless he is elected
ruin will be visited upon the country.
In letter addressed to the Marquette
club of Chicago, he phrases hia calamity
cry in these words:
1T is the height Of folly for the
American electorate, just as we are re-
gaining the confidence of capital which
is necessary to the resumption of pros
perity, to put in power the democratic
party under its present leader, whose
political history cannot but make demo
cratic success under his leadership Il
menace to prosperity and means the
destruction of business confidence
ms Is Mr rats way. Alarm the
country. Shake confidence. Brighten
capital into retirement. Throw men
ont of work, and close the mils-thosc
that arc still open by prophcSying
CatyClasmal consequences if Bryan is
elected.
The World-lIcrald commcnds to it's
readers u careful contrasting Of the
methods and the patriotism of Taft and
Bryan, as disclosed by the difference be
tween Mr.. Bryan's conduct last fall, and
Taft's conduct this fall
Think it over, and say who is the bet
ter citizen, the SJunlcr statesman, and
who would make the safer president

Comrade of Her Children.

With each of her children Mrs. Taft
is not only the mother, but the CON-
rade. This is especially true Of her
young son. She is never too busy to
enter into his sports, listen to his
plans and troubles, read to him or
have him read to her and be his play
fellow, confidant and friend.
Mrs. Taft dresses richly and lastly,
but quietly. She is not much given to
following every whim and novelty Of
fashion. While always appearing we'll
gowned, she is of the type of woman
whose clothes are not the first thing
noticed about her. It is her face and
carriage which attract attention. She
would not be termed beauty, but has
a distinguished appearance a gracious
ness and q distinctive individuality
that win her popularity with all
that meet her, popularity that grows
with longer acquaintance.

husband. Her hair is brown and just
touched with gray, a fact which she
does not try to conceal. Her eyes are
gray and clear. Her voice is contralto,
musical and pleasing. She has much
dignity and some reserve, not giving
her affection until after long acquaint-
ance. Her usual demeanor is serious,
being free from the stereotyped smile,
yet her natural smile is engaging and
her laugh joyous. She hates sham as
much as does her husband and yet be-
lieves in degree of form and order.
She is intellectual, yet her first con-
Germ is Mr.. Taft's career, with her
children and home as close seconds.
She believes that women should vote,
but not hold Office. She favors wo-
mems clubs and higher education so
far, and only so far, as these do not in
terfere with home life She is in the
best sense womanly woman, yet
keeps abreast of the thought of the
day. If Mr.. Taft begins the study Of
any subject she takes it up also.

By JAMES A. EDCERTON,

w YHEN Rutherford B. Hayes was
NV president Of the United States
w there visited him at the White
House Miss Helen Heron,
the young daughter Of his Cincinnati
law partner. To Miss Helen the presi-
dent and Mrs. Hayes were "Uncle
Rutherford" and "Aunt Lucy" Frank
ly the schoolgirl was fascinated with
the White House and in the years that
followed frequently referred to this in
itial visit as one Of the great events of
her life. Whatever others may think
of the home Of the presidents, in her
eyes it was fairyland, the goal Of all
possible ambitions.
"Uncle Rutherford" she said one
evening, Il am going to marry a mar
who will be president"
II hope you may was the smiling
reply, "and be sure you marry an Ohio
man."
She did both, for the Helen Heron
of that day is now Mrs. William How
ard Taft.
History records that one other wom-
an said similar thing and lived to

Sweethearts Of Early Days.

Mr.. and Mrs. Taft were childhood
sweethearts, their families living in
close proximity on Walnut hills, Gin
cinnati. They were married as soon as
Mr.. Taft was out Of Yale. That was
over twenty years ago. Their path
since that day has been one of steady
advancement without reverses. There
have been few over whom the skies Of
fortune have been so propitious. Both
the children of judges, both receiving
college education, playmates from
youth and always in accord both in
tastes and ambitions, they have met
no defeats and but few hardships.
Seemingly there is but one point Of
divergence between the two-that Of
religious belief. Mr.. Taft is a Unita-
rian, while his wife is devout Epis-
copalian. On this point they simply
agree to disagree, each claiming and
granting complete liberty Of opinion.
In the Taft home are many gifts and
priceless relics which have come from
all about the earth. One is a present
from the mikado, another from the
Philippines, others from Cuba or Pan
ANA, Russia or their own native city
OF Cincinnati. They are suggestive Of
the globe rotting done by the man
who will be the most Travelled of our
presidents.
In all this journeying to and fro over
the earth the future first lady Of the
land has had her part. She has con-
versed with statesmen and rulers in all
parts Of the world, sometimes in their
own tongue.
This has given her cosmopolitan
breadth Of view, and yet she believes

see the prophecy come true. This was
Miss Mary Todd, afterward Mrs. Abra-
nam Lincoln, who, although treated
somewhat slightingly by the biogra-
piers, yet had much to do with plac-
ing the greatest of the presidents in the
White House.
Mrs. Taft has had an equal part in
dhe advancement Of her husband. It
is an open secret that when he was
Offered a place on the supreme bench
Taft was sorely tempted to accept, that
having been his life ambition. It was
Mrs. Taft who said no; that there was
"a greater Office awaiting him. How
much did the dream of the girl have to
do with working out the fate of the
woman?
Often at the White House.
| Later when Benjamin Harrison was
president and Mr.. Taft solicitor general
Mrs. Taft was again much in the White
House, for the first Mrs. Harrison had
been blood relative, which the
Hayeses were not the uncle and
"aunt" having been but friendship
titles.
Again during the administration of
Theodore Roosevelt the coming FIRST
lady of the land'' was often at the ex-
ecutive mansion as not only the wife of
one Of the chief cabinet ministers, but
as the close friend Of Mrs. Roosevelt
Thus the wife of the new president
comes to the goal of her dreams not
without training and not without IA
miliarity with the honors and duties
that await her.
What manner of woman is she? It
Is a question Of keen interest to the
better half of creation and to the So
cial set generally. The world knows
Mr. Taft, or thinks it does, but what
of his wife? The first thing that i'm
presses one in seeing Mrs. Taft IS that
she is gracious, frank and direct, I'm.
affected and not given to gush. She
is slightly above the medium height
and seems slender beside her gigantic

and Spanish easily and knows other
languages. Music, however, is her pas
sion. She is graduate of a music
school, was at one time a teacher and
was for thirteen years president of the
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra asso-
citation. The Ohio city has long been
famous as one of the chief music cen
tiers Of the country, the May festivals
having been celebrated far and wide.
The association Of which Mrs. Taft
was the head had much to do with Civ
ing Cincinnati her prominent place in
the music world and with making the
May festivals successes. The wife Of
the next president has two handsome
souvenirs, one a present from the mu-
sicians, the other from the association
itself. The last named gift is a GEN.
terpiece for her dining table, which has
appeared in Manila, in Washington and
will doubtless grace the table Of the
White House. On it are engraved the
opening strains that were played at
the beginning Of all the Cincinnati
Symphony concerts.
Feature of Her Ideals.
Right here should be mentioned a
feature Of Mrs. Taft's ideals and aspira-
lions that may be productive of great
good in the future Of this country. She
believes with many Of the rest of us
that one Of the chief needs of America
at this time is the development Of the
aesthetic and artistic taste Of the peo-
pie. Politically and industrially we
are in the forefront of the world. We
should hold the same station in poetry
and painting, music and all the arts.
Why not? We have laid the material
foundation Of our temple broad and
deep. The superstructure should be
in keeping. No people are wholly great
until their appreciation Of the beautiful
and not only Interpretation, but their
capacity for creation, are equal to their
attainments in commerce and in war
These are the ends to which war and
commerce are but the means. If the
