THERE may be some doubt about how

Secretary Taft, tut that Wall street in
terssts will warmly support him with ils
money and votes seems cent iin. That
representative Wall street banker, Jacob
II. schih, the partner of that "malefac-

has accepted the vice presidency OF the
Taft organization of the state OF New

insistence fer due aud proper regard OF
the law, all classes of our citizens will,
with Mr.. Taft as president, become
readily convinced thst every Legitimate
Interest will be safe in the hands OF their

assumed that Mr.. Taft will receive the

have evidently, as Mr.. Schift says, "be-
come readily convinced" that they twill

"Settino the River on Fire."

In old English times, when each
family was obliged to sift it's own -four.
it sometimes happened that an ener-
getic man would turn his sieve SO rap
idly as to cause it to catch fire. The
style of sieve used in those days was
called TENSE" and 1t became Gus
tomary saying that a lazy man would
never set the tense on fire. Now, 1t
happens that the name of the river
Thames Is pronounced like the name
Of this old -four sieve. and after many
years. when the old fashioned tense
was forgotten, 1t was thought that set
ting the tense on fire meant setting
the river on fire, and that is why to-
day we say that a stupid person will
never set the river on fire.
