TAFT GETS THE NEWS
HOW THE SECRETARY OF WAR
RECEIVED ANNOUNCEMENT
OF HIS NOMINATION.
TRANSACTED USUAL OFFICIAL BUSINESS
Several important Departmental Cues
tions Disposed Of While Awaiting
the Result Of the BaIIot-Secretary
Root the First Cabinet Officer to
Congratulate Him.


Washington, June 2O,-"Words do
not find themselves at time like this.
do not deny that am very happy"
This was the response of Secretary
William H. Taft to request for an ex-
preston of his views on his nomina-
ton for the presidency. The sen
fences did not come easily. Through
out the afternoon preceding the an.
nouncement his nomination the secre
tary had been laboring under sup
pressed nervous tension. The atmos-
phere of his office was electric with
excitement. Notwithstanding the great
personal interest which he had In the
proceedings at Chicago, 1000 miles
away, Secretary Taft did not permit
politics to interfere for moment with
his transaction of official business as
secretary of war. In the intermis'
sions of the receipt Of bulletins from
the convention, the secretary disposed
of several important departmental
questions and when his nomination for
the presidency was announced his
desk practically was cleared of import
ant official business.
When the news had been conveyed
to Secretary Taft that he had been
nominated Mrs. Taft rose from
her seat at the secretary's desk and
turned to her husband who was stand
ing at her right. 1t was an eloquent
handclasp they gave each other. Mrs.
Taft was bubbling over with happi'
ness. All evidence of the nervous
strain which had been in her face dur
ing the afternoon had disappeared.
The secretary himself laughed with
the joy of a boy. Around both the
secretary and Mrs. Taft their friends
crowded to offer their congratulation.
1t was a happy sceDe-the realization
Of months OF labor and tribulation.
Secretary Root was the first cabinet
oficer to extend to Secretary Taft and
Mrs. Taft his congratulations on the
nomination. He remarked facetiously
to Secretary Taft while the latter was
shaking hands with some of his news,
paper friends, that he probably would
find 1t difficult to shake" these men
either during his campaign or after
his election. Secretary Taft respond
ed that he had no idea of shaking
them at any time.
Among those whom the secretary
greeted after his nomination were all
Of the employees Of the insular bureau
OF the war department whom Secre-
tary Taft was acquaintd with person
ally.

that they could use their money to
much better advantage than by spend
ing it for liquor; that the range of
real pleasure was larger and drink
was left out Of the equation. This in
crease in the list of abstalners, he
contended, would mean that they would
dominate the laws of the country and
largely fix the conditions.
Professor Patten said that prohibi-
ton was the morality Of the abstainer
and that while the prohibitionist may
be narrow in his view of the temper
ance question, his view is no narrower
than that of the capitalist, who be-
comes a capitalist by the saving habit
and in his sphere dominates the coun-
try
He said he was satisfied that each
decade would make clearer the advan-
tages of abstinence and would bring to
It's support many thoughtful people,
while the pressure of economic condi-
tions would bring in what he believed
to be the only solution of the drink
evil-prohibition.
REPLY OF DOCTOR BARROwS
A vein of humor ran through the
reply of Doctor Barrows and he was
frequently interrupted by laughter. He
made an amusing reference to the Ii
quor question as a grandfather pro-
blem," then after a hurried summary
of the crimes charged to the drink evil,
which, he said, he would not dwell up
on as they had been admitted by Pro-
fessor Muensterberg, he said:
ours is a larger question than
individual psychology; it is, what
is the effect of alcohol upon men
in their relations to each other?
That is a problem in social psy-
chology. 1t is a question too, for
the penologist and the sociologist
Alcoholism has enormous social
consequences. Doctor Baer, of Ber-
lin, places the per cent, as high
as "A in tracing crime to drink,
but Colonel McHardy, Of Scotland,
places it at 80 per cent. The more
you increase the area of tempta-
ton to alcoholic drinks in the COM
munity, the more disorder will you
have. This is an established fact
1t has been proved by the history
of local option all over the coun-
try"
Doctor Barrows then took up Pro-
