The name of Taft" was on every
lip and the Taft smile" was COM
mented on as being universally in evi-
dence. 1t was half after nine o'clock
when the crowds began to participate
in the exercises. This early ceremony
constituted simple expression of
neighborly affection. Charles P. Taft
was made custodian of a huge Amer
lean flag which was raised to the top
of a 50-foot mast erected in the front
yard Of the Taft mansion-the gife of
the people of Cincinnati to the Taft
family with the single stipulation that
1t be raised whenever the candidate is
in the city and lowered during his
absence. The presentation was made
the occasion for an invocation by
Bishop David II. Moore and an ad-
dress by former Congressman Jacob
Bromwell and response by Charles
p Taft. The yard and streets had
been thronged with people from early
morning to witness The flag raising
ceremonies. "America,' sung by the
assemblage, selections by a band and
by members Cf the Yale and Wood
gram. Benediction was pronounced by
Rev. George A. Thayer. Meanwhile a
band concert was being enjoyed by an
immense crowd surrounding Govern
ment Square some blocks away and
marching clubs were making practice
marches entirely Independent of or
ders or conditions under the hutterlng

riages appeared before the Hotel Sin

come to attend the ceremonies pro-

cessional drive to the Taft residence

This little feature was devoid of all
ceremony. With the hour of noon the
party filed out of the old colonial front
doors to the places assigned on the
broad porches with their futtering
canvas covering constructed for the

Louis Honore Frechette, who died
recently, was the unofficial poet laure-
ate of Canada. He wrote in French
and his work has crowned by the
French Academy. Longfellow hailed
him as the pathfinder of new land
of song" AS a poet he was born, sc
to speak, in two nations. One of his
poems, lie Drapeau Anglais The
English Flag'-suggests his allegiance
to the British flag and his affection for
that other flag, the flag of France,
which, as a French poet, he kissed on
bended knee.

In the popular outcry against tainted
money and the abuses of wealth there
is often too much disregard of the vast
sums which are paid to further the in
trinsic interests of humanity. Such d
gift as that which Mr.. Phipps has just
made to enable science TO fight one of
the worst foes of human existence, re,
marks the Baltimore American, ought
to throw large weight in the balance
when the uses and misuses of riches
are weighed in the scales.

What will the women say to the as
sertion recently made by John Burns,
president of the British local govern
ment board, that the servant prob
lem arises not so much from the
scarcity of good servants, as from the
incompetency of present-day mis-
tresses to manage their help? Whether
his charge is true or not, a girl without
training for the work will find it az
difficult to run her house and direct
her servants as her husband would
find If he tried to direct a business
without first learning how.
