Mr.. TAFT DOES THINGS.
One Incident That Shows the Quality
of the Man.

| One incident NAT SnoWS the GuaIIty
of the Man.
| This incident affords perhaps as good
an insight into the psychology of Mr..
Taft as any that could be cited. 1t it,
lustrates the way Mr.. Taft does things,
the way he works and the way he
plays, for when he plays he plays as
hard and Zestfully as he works. With
him the thing is to do 1t. Accomplish
mcnt is ever his aim. 1t happened
while Mr.. Taft was on the sea, bound
for Manila to open the Philippine as
Sembly. The narrator watched the pro-
ceedings at close range. Three men
away up in the eyes of the ship, and
contemplated hole ten feet above
their heads. A narrow iron ladder led
perpendicularly to the deck. The cir
cumference Of the hole seemed to ap-
proXimate that Of a sugar barrel. One
of the men. Ambassador O'Brien,
bound for Tokyo. was tall and spare,
lean and sinewy. The second, Judge
Thomas Burke of Seattle, was short
and rotund. The third, Mr.. Taft. was
larger and heavier than the other two
put together.
ut would he easier for the camel to
go through the needles eye, Mr. Sec
retary, than for you to get through
that hole" bantered Judge Burke.
Il wouldn't like to try that climb,
I'll confess" said the ambassador.
"Well, | don't know" rejoined the
2S5 pound secretary of war. 1T looks
like tough proposition"
For moment the three turned aside
to examine something to which their
attention was directed. Unregarded.
Mr.. Taft stepped to the foot of the lad
der and observed it contemplatively.
One might have deduced from his man
ner that his thoughts ran something
like this: That's a hard climb, and
that hole looks smaller than my body,
but those fellows don't believe that l
can climb up that ladder and get
through the hole. | believe | can. I'm
going to try it."
Before he was spled Mr.. Taft had
half scaled the ladder. Ambassador
O'Brien and Judge Burke, despite
their lesser weight, expressed in their
faces an approximation of dismay
when they saw what the secretary was
about. You'll never make it; better
come back" advised the ambassador.
Look out the ladder doesn't break"
cautioned Judge Burke. Round after
round the secretary progressed until
his body was halfway out of the hole.
When the circumference of his girth
came into conjunction with the cir
cumference of the hole 1t was toss
up for minute which would win. But
Mr. Taft proved that he had an elastic
waist line, which won over the un-
yielding limits of the hole But it was
a struggle He stuck to 1t grimly and
doggedly. The lifting of 295 pounds
of dead weight by the muscles Of the
arms is a task that would tax the
strength Of far lighter man. A final
heave and Mr. Taft hoped upon the
deck as lightly as boy. He was
smiling all over. He had won. The
passengers who had watched gave him
a cheer. He would have stayed in the
hole and fought 1t out for an hour
rather than retreat. That is Taft.

Had You
Planned to do
Any Papering?

Well, by far the most particular
part of all your plans is to make
sure that the right paper goes on
the walls.
The cost of the paper is worth con-
sidering-but style, newness, suit
ability is your main lookout.
For it is quite possible for you to
pay us DC roll and get new de-
signs, while at other places you
may pay as high as 4Oc roll, and
still have patterns away behind
the times.
The hint should be plain enough.
We've a whole NEW stock to
show you-a bright, dependable
lot of paper. Wall paper that you
can buy from in safety without
knowing anything at all about
Wall Paper quality.
We are really anxious to have you
see it, for we feel that we can
make it profitable for you to do
your buying here.

BRISTOWsREPORT
The Kansan Finds Conditions Not
at Ali Pleasing on the
Pacific Coast.
CANAL TRAFFIC DIVERTED
Pacific Mall Steamship Company Was
Denied Exclusive Contract With
Panama RaIIroad-May OPP
crate Western Line.

washington, Jan. 21.-Secretary
Taft Monday transmitted to the senate
committee on interoceanic canals the
report Of J. L. Bristow, who was sent
by the war department to investigate
the relations existing between the
Panama Railroad company and the
steamship lines operating on the Pa
cific coast with a view to ascertalning
whether the government ought to en-
gage In the steamship business on the
Pacific coast In order to preserve the
business of the Panama route and fur
nish traffic for the government steam
ers plying north on the Atlantic side.
The report contains interesting data
gathered by Mr. Bristow and recon.
mendations which may give the canal
committee some important legislative
points to consider in connection with
the building of the canal. 1t Is shown
that the government is facing rather
serious condition Of affairs in that the
traffic over the Panama railroad from
west to east is dwindling at rate
which will practically mean the extinc-
ton OF trade between San Francisco
and New York by steamer route by
the time the canal Is built. The bust
ness at the Pacific terminal Of the
railroad has been reduced one-hals
since the government took charge.
Last year but $4,000 tons Of freight
were transported over the railroad
from Panama to Colon. At the present
time most OF the steamers operated by
the government on the Atlantic ocean
are compelled to return north in bal
last
The traffic depression Is mainly due
to action of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company, which has been refused
an exclusive contract with the Panama
railroad. The contract formerly exist
ed by which through bills were issued
by the Pacific Mail company, but this
was an exclusive contract and the sec
rotary of war deemed 1t proper to can
eel 1t. The steamship company ad
vised the government that they would
be willing to improve the service on
the Pacific coast and put on two new
steamers II the government would give
them the exclusive right to shut out
some foreign ships of certain lines
north from Panama The secretary of
war did not feel justified in doing this
and the result has been a generally
falling of on east-bound business from
the Pacific coast states to New York
via the Panama route.
The question now arises as to
whether the government should save
the income to its transportation line
on the eastern side by running some
risk on the western coast in operating
a steamship line and retaining a tratflc
route through the canal. As condi.
tions are at present, according to the
report Of Mr.. Bristow, there is danger
Of the traffic being diverted to Tehaun-
tepec and other routes.

NO IMMUNITY FOR RUFF

Prosecution Claims He Has Not Lived

San Francisco, Jan. 20.-The stu.
alton In the bribery-graft prosecution
brought about by the recent decision
Of the circuit court Of appeals setting
aside the indictment for extortion
against ex-Mayor Eugene e. Schmitz,
on which he was tried and convicted,
reached q climax late Saturday night
when Prosecuting Attorney Langdon
announced that all question Of i'm
munity for Abraham Ruef is at an end
and that on Monday he would ask su-
perior Judge Lawlor to set for trial
one Of the charges of bribery against
Ruef now pending in Lawlor's court.
II was also announced that every
charge against Ruef will now be
pressed to q conclusion
It is also intimated that the prose
oution will appeal to the supreme court
from the decision Of the court Of ap
peals in the schmits case. In making

alton of his going on the witness stand
and testifying to the whole truth
against each and every defendant
brought to trial in the graft cases.
An exception was made in the Ruet
extortion case which was then on trial
and in which it was agreed that Ruef
was to plead guilty, which he did In a
dramatic manner a few days after the
contract was signed.
The prosecution claims that Ruef
did not live up to his agreement when
TREY L. Ford, general counsel Of the
United Railroads, was tried and &C
Quilted on one of the charges Of bri-
berry against him.
In declaring the immunity contract
void the prosecution asserts that 1t
was moved by Ruefs past failure to
keep his agreement and by the abso-
lutte refusal Of Judges Dunno and
Lawlor to countenance any immunity.

lowing a dinner in New York on NO
yember 80, he suffered an acute attack
OF Indigestion, which according to- his
physician gave indications of heart
trouble. Shortly before Christmas he
attended dinner of the New England
society in this city, though advised by
his physician not to do SO. He was
|toastmaster at the banquet and laugh

embarrassment at finding himself seat
ed almost opposite his physician at the

Before he had recovered from the
effects of his first attack Mr.. Smith
contracted the grippe, which agra
waited his heart trouble. One week ago
he was ordered to Atlantic City to
recuperate. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Smith.
The practical establishment Of rural
free delivery and the creation OF the
mail service in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines, marked his tenure OF
office as postmaster general.
Mr.. Smith was twice married, his
second wife being Miss Henrietta
