TAFT,s TRAINING.

Mr Taft comes of family distin- |
guished in the law and the public SER
vice. The first American Tafts came
of the English yeomanry, transplanted
across the Atlantic by the great up
heaval for conscience's sake which
peopled New England with its sturdy
stock. In this country they turned
to the study and practice Of the law.
Peter Taft was both maker and an
interpreter of laws, having served as
member of the Vermont legislature,
and afterwards as Judge. Alphonso
Taft, son of Peter, was graduated from
Yale College, and then went out to the
Western Reserve to practice law. He
settled in Cincinnati, and it was at
Mt. Auburn, suburb of that city, on
September Is, 1857 that his Son, VIII
| liam Howard Taft, first became pres
idential possibility.
The boy grew up in an atmosphere
of earnest regard for public duty too
little known in these days OF the Co
lossal and engrossing material devel-
opment of the country. His father
earned distinction in the service OF
i city and state and nation, going from
the superior bench, to which he 'hac
been elected unanimously, to the place
in Grants cabinet now held by the
son. then, as attorney general, to the
department of justice, and finally into
I the diplomatic service, as minister
first to Austria and then to Russia. His
mother. who was Miss Louise M Tor
rev. also came of that staunch New
England stock with whom conscience
lis the arbiter Of action and duty per
formed the goal Of service.
OF course he went to Yale. His
father had been the first 'alumnu'
elected to the corporation, and whei
tyoung TAFT had completed his prepar
atory course at Andover he went t
New Haven. for his college training
He was big. rollicking, good ma
tured boy. who liked play but still

1t is understood that the plank is
entirely satisfactory to Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed

fight before the committee in behalf

director of national public works, he
has received his training and has al

situation and competent to make more
honorable and beloved the American

inaction in his career. He has been
continuously engaged in weighty
tasks and each successive service has
been characterized by an increasing
influence upon most vital questions.
"And so today in the presence OF

Secretary Taft has assured his
friends that if his wishes were con-
suited he would be satisfied with moth
ing short of Roosevelt platform-one
which would not only indorse those
of the Presidents policies already ap-
proved by Congress, but those also
which Mr.. Roosevelt has promulgated
for the guidance of the executive
branch of the government, and others
which he has recommended for legis-
lative action. Secretary Taft is pre-
pared to stand on pretty strong
tariff revision plank, and he wants
tariff revision as soon as it is practi-
cable to accomplish it. He has ex-
pressed satisfaction with the tariff
plank of the Ohio platform this year,
and it is probable that the Ohio plank
will form the basis for the national
tariff declaration.
