NEW YORK. September 19-President
Roosevelt is quoted in an interview pub
lished in the October issue of Success as
saying that. with the exception of Wash
ington and Lincoln. William Howard
Taft. If elected. will make the country's
greatest President. Mr.. Roosevelt is
quoted in part as follows:
The bigness of the job demands a man
of Taft's type. He is thoroughly pre-
pared for the task which will confront
him. Never has there been a candidate
for the presidency SO admirably trained
in varied administrative service. Then
Taft is a thoroughly national man. There
is no stronger appeal TO him from the
north than from the south, from the west
than from the east. Creed and color
make no difference to him. He seeks TO
DO substantial justice to all. There is
not mean streak in the mans makeup.
Il sincerely believe that Taft will make
our greatest President, excepting of
course. our two greatest, Washington and
Lincoln.
When l became governor of New York
and was confronted with new and per-
picking problems l turned instinctively to
Taft. | knew that we approached public
questions at the same angle and l wished
to benefit from his sane. fair Judgment.
You remember my fight in New York
for the bin taxing public utility corpora
tons on their valuable franchises. You
recall that i sent emergency message
to the legislature urging the passage of
the franchise tax bill. that my special
message wasn't read and that / sent in
another on the following day which was
read. and that the bill was passed and
became law. | was sure of my ground
In that fight and for that certainty OF
mind | was considera bly, indebted TO Taft
Knowing that the contest with the
corporations Was to come over this leg
islation. l visited Taft in Cincinnati and
went into the subject deeply with him
His advice proved to be invaluab BILE. Taft
really had hand in that first fight OF
mine for corporation control

Much to Be Seen.
There is SO much Of the show that
single newspaper article cannot do It
justice. The catalogue of the congress
in good-sized volume, over 265 pages in
bulk.
There is one thing apparent to the most
casual visitors That thing is the intense
earnestness of the men who have come to
Washington in the interest of humanity
in this congress.
Many of them have spent a lifetime
in the study Of tuberculosis. Some of
them have been responsible for reducing
the worlds death rate Others are work
ing nearly every minute to establish a
definite cure for the disease which causes
the greatest number Of deaths.
The doctors and health officers who are
to be seen for the next three weeks in the
new Museum building are of the kind
who move the human race along a notch
or two every now and then. They are
confident several notches will be gained
by the educational features Of the Wash
ington exhibits
Another feature Of the exhibit, general
in its character, is the many novel and
striking methods used by the scientists to
demonstrate figures and percentages
Colored charts, blocks. cones, cubes and
spheres of all sizes and colors are used to

The startling thing to the layman Is
the enormous percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis. One of the Swedish ex-

as any of them-is a row of

carcass of Mr.. Bear rolled down a steep
embankment and to get 1t back in the
roadway appeared to be a puzzling propo-

Here again the use of the automobile
was demonstrated. Mr.. Moore rachel into
his tool cases and securing his towing
rope attached one end to the carcuss of the
pear and the other TO his motor car and
reversing his engine dragged the animal
up the steep declivity to the road.
Then he bundled the bear into the auto

Moore of this city. prominent business
man and enthusiastic hunter, went bear
seeking In the Adirondacks in his auto
mobile today and late this afternoon came
back home with the goods in the form OF
a fine black bear, Weighing when dressed
close to 200 pounds
Besides having a full days sport Mr.
Moore. by using his motor car for the
dash into the ,haunts of the bear and the
deer, escaped the vexatious delays and
railroad travel and incidentally Demon
strated that the limit of uses to which the
automobile may be put has not yet been
reached. Mr.. Moore heard that a consider
able number of bears had been seen in
the vicinity of Wilmurt. SO he headed for
that place today. He covered the thirty
six miles in a couple of hours and hadn't
been in the woods half an hour when in
running his automobile up a stiff grade
with his muller wide open he scared out
a couple of bears.
One of the animals beat it up the West
Canada creek gorge but the other fell
before the steady aim of Mr. Moore, who.
with the first sight of the bruins. had
shut off his engine and without even get
ting out of his car pumped lead into the
animal.

A Curious Custom at the Courts CT
East indian Princes.
There is a curious custom at the
courts Of the Indian princes. When
British officer or a physician calls
upon rajah he is shown into the re-
ception or throne room, where sits the
rajah. surrounded by the great state
officers. After the exchange Of the
usual salutations one of the officers
brings in tray on which are display
ed jewels and golden ornaments stud
ded with valuable stones, perhaps
worth $4,000 or more. The trayful of
valuables is supposed to be a present
from the rajah to his visitor, and ii is
offered first to the gentleman. who. in
Ginning his head, touches the edge OF
the tray with the tips of his fingers,
and it is then passed over to the lady.
who invariably accompanies the Brit
ish officer. If he IS married. on such oc-
casions. She follows the example OF
her husband, and the tray and its con-
tents are then returned to the Jewel
room. In lieu of the unaccepted Jewels

where it remains during their stay
within the palace. There is a very
strict law against any British officer
accepting a gift from native prince.
Even when a doctor may have per
formed some serious operation upon a
rajah. who. being grateful. wishes to
give-exclusiye OF money fee, vary
ing from 200 to f1.00O. according to
the operation performed-a present OF
n shawl. golden cup or some similar
valuable. the doctor must obtain spe-
cial permission from the viceroy before
he dare accept the present. II any
officer accepts Il gift of any value with
out such permission he may have to
resign. This rule was made because In
the old days, when the East India COM
pany governed India. an officers pick
ings and the presents often extorted
from the raiahs were worth much
more 10 him than his salary.-Lcndon
