be looked for from a playing president? If golf spreads as rapidly in the next four years as tennis ill the past seven, nine out of every ten men, women and children in the country will be indulging in the an- cient and honorable game by 1912.
 Perhaps not so much will be heard of President Taft's golf as was of President Roosevelts tennis, when the burning question of the hour seemed to be whether on the fenced in White House court he had or had not defeated famous English pre- late, or whether he would be victor ious over the German Emperor, could ident Taft is DO whit behind in en- thusiasm for the pastTne which he champions. During his recent visit to New York only few days before his inauguration, when anyone but an enthusiast would have worn a furrowed brow, it was only the lack of a pair Of trousers that kept him from going out to Long Island for a game of golf.
 The matter happened ill this way One of the first persons to call on the then president-elect was Walter J. Tarvis, ex-amateur golf champion of the United States and England and probably the best known player in the country. who is personal friend of Taft. Mr Travis lives al Garden City on Long Island. a spot which his personal fame has done almost as much to make the greatest goifing center of the East as has the presence of two golf courses and clut houses and it's famous country hotel Not even a duffer at golf would thina of coming to New York without visit ing Garden City trying one or both courses, and admiring the trophie, W H;CH tlie 5hul LII idt Io lcA Dl ONSA' there.
 Come out to Garden City, Judge and we'll get up foursome, said MT. Travis.
 The Judges" eyes twinkled as he replied. Well I'd certainly like to But you see came only for the day and I haven't any clubs.
 ''Oh, that's all right" answered Travis, we'll fix you with clubs.
 And how do know I could gc, into your clubhouse?" continued MT Taft.
 Well, you can all right" answered Mr. Travis, his local pride coming tc the front. "and if you couldn't the hotel is about three minutes walk and it would be b.g enough I guess. Any way it's bigger than the one you're in now and whole lot pleasanter too. You can dress there"
 "Dress--dress. cried MT. Taft tut I forgot-I' haven't any other clothes here.
 That stumped MT. Travis. He could furnish anything up to the clothes but as he glanced down at his own substantial underpinning and then compared it with the amplifed ex- panse of MT. Taft's anatomy, he de- cided not to press the subject fur ther. And so the famous match did not come off, although it may next summer. But the incident Is as char acteristic of the new Presidents fond ness for his chosen pastime as was that of President Roosevelt in talk ing long horseback ride on the

THE HOUSE BROOM
 AS A BEAUT|F|FR

Few women look upon the homely broom as a bcautifier Rather. they make of 1t q wrinkle-raiser as we'll as dust raiser because they eye t as all enemy to peace and laziness--- and not as Q friend ready 10 serve them.
 The average housemaid--thc one who makes a business of sweeping is usually noted for her trim waist, good carriage and Wcll-ieveloped arms. People think these qualifica- tions the natural perqusities of the housemaid and rarely wonder how they are acquired The broom does it,
 The broom propcrly wielded causes the arms to round out, the back to grow strong and supple, the waist slender and graceful and the poise of the torso attractive. Tn. broom, improperly yielded, rarely achieves any one of these charms nf figure for it's owner.
 Physical culture Is 2 necessary to tho promotion of youihtDI|nrss and grace of form as a good q ston Is to health. No woman will new sit down supinely and sso ] rsc}y ae- quire a rotundity of form that makes her appear more like barrel than anything else. If such a fate over takes he'd it does not do so without struggle on her part Usually the grandmother of to-day looks younger and more lovely than the women of thirty did some twenty or thirty years age.

left him after the blanket episode on

relatives to assist her.

loon business, mining claims valued at
1000. cash on deposit in Beaver

disposing of any of this until the case
is decided, and she wants her share
of it.

NOTHING SMALL
ABOUT MORAN
He Is Fixing Entire Outlet Pipe,
Apparently lust to Show
That He Can.

Patrick J. Moran, city contractor, Is
managing to negotiate a tidy little
piece Of work out of the repairs of the
intercepting sewer outlet pipe. He is
not only stopping the leaks under the
railway yards, which he was authorized
to do by the committee which had
charge, but is covering the entire leaky
portion OF the pipe west OF the tracks
with cement. This viii probably cost
s25. 900.
The work was in the hands of the
mayor, city engineer and H. G. McMil
Ian. chairman of the board Of works.
None of these is prepared to take the
responsibility for ordering the extra
work done it was not mentioned at
the meeting of the council Monday
evening, there is no record Of any order
at the office Of the board Of public
works. and City Engineer L. c. Kelsey
says that he gave no order nor did he
know of any.
Moran's work on the pipe. il is as
serted. amounts to an admission on the
part of the city that something more is
needed to keep it from leaking than was
in the plans and specifications under
which the contractor did the work
It also means that the Campbell
Building company will be paid for the
entire pipe, Just as II would nave been
had there been no leaks in it at all. Just
as soon as anything not in the specifi-
cations was done to the pipe to make
it water tight, it is pointed out. the city
waived its right to refuse acceptance
until the leaks were stopped.
Several Of the councilmen were try
ing to find out yesterday who had the
temerity to go ahead and order work
that will cost the city so much without
consulting someone connected with the
city council.

Explanations.

some OF the explanations we're in
-enious. Asked by Ledyard Bailey why
IDS brother T. J. Bridwel, has drawn
double pay for one holiday and two Sun
days. he said this was because Of union
-iies. forgetting that r. J. Bridwell al
previous investigation had said he did
not belong TO the union. He afterwards
tried To qualify this, when oscar MOyle
asked him If this were not the case, by
saving that he did not know when his
brother joined the union.
To Mr. Bailey he said T. J. Bridwen was
a brother. and that two sons had also
worked for the board. J. $ Lewis was
the brother-in-laW Of his brother, and
w. A Tice occupied the same relation
snip. r NJ and J. T. Williams were
nephew All these, he said, were en-
u.oved by Evans. the foreman and with
ont his consent and against his wishes
There was a lively tilt during the even
nE between Mr. Thomas and Mr.. Ed
wards which ended in somewhat modify
ing the extent to which the counsel for
the superintendent should object. Mr.
BridWeU was inclined to be argumen-
tative and 10 resent the questioning.
~ J. Cheesman. member OF the board
from the Second precinct was rather i'm
patient at tie questioning and wanted
20 whitewash Mr.. Bridwei at once with
out waiting any longer. He also had a
tit with Mr.. Thomas and left the room,

TAFT AND THE TARIFF.

The Payne rates are 1.56 per cen
higher than the Dingley rates, and the
Aldri.h rates are higher than the
Payne rates. And yet the plain peo-
ple-t.e ultimate consumers-were
promised lower rates. This promise
was given them by President Taft in
his acceptance speech, in his cam
paign tours, and in his inaugural ad-
dress.
In his acceptance speech, too, Pres
ident Taft plainly suggested the wis
dom and constitutionality of an in
come tax Senator Aldrich has de-
cided to increase duties and to squelch
an income tax. The masses are to be
asked to pay more taxes, while wealth
escapes fair share of the cost of
government.
What will President Taft do? The
individually. If he keeps his pledged
word he will veto the A1drich-Payne
scheme for serving special interests,
while levying heavy taxation on the
masses. The entire Aldrich-Payn
plan was drawn to enable campaign
subscribers to escape taxation on the
one hand, and to give favored man
ufacturers chance to exploit eighty
millions of people here at home on the
other.
Will it be vetoed? If not, then the
President will swallow his own
words, and the people next year will
get ready to elect a Democratic House
of Representatives. What they will
do in 1912 need not be anticipated
The President has remarkable op-
portunity, but his environment is not
above suspicion, and his tendency tc
seek the line of least resistance is
we'll known. A Democratic House OF
Representatives will be the peoples
answer next year.

Bishop Losing Eyesight.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 1O.-Bishop
OH w. Whitaker, the venerable head
of the Protestant Episcopal diocese
of Pennsylvania, was seventy-nine
years old today. For nearly a year
he has been gradually growing blind
He is still able to conduct church
services, however, for he knows the
words of the ritual by heart. Bishop
Whitaker was ordained a priest in
1868, and consecrated Bishop of Ne
vada in 1869. Shortly afterwards he
became assistant to Bishop Stevens
of this diocese, and at his death sue
ceeded him.
