When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr.. Taft
would use an automobile during his
term as President, much rivalry de.
yeloped among the leading mGnufac-
turers for the honor of selling him q
car and the public watched with In.
terest to see what Mr.. Taft's choice
would be. The knowing ones predicted
that the White Steamer would be Sc.
lected and they pointed out that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had used White Steam
ers for two years at his summer home
at Oyster Bay and had recommended
this make to Mr.. Taft as the most de-
sirabe.
This prediction proved correct. al.
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely
on Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation
but, with his usual thoroughness de.
termined 10 have an investigation
made Of all the principal makes. Ac.
cordingly, he asked several officers Of
the War Department TO look into the
matter for him, and they tested many
makes of cars. visited n number Of
factories SO that they might see what
materials were used, and, finally. they
INVESTIGATED the records Of the differ.
ont types Of cars in public contests
and in private service.

Steamer, except that his car has the
United States coatofarms painted
on either door In other words,
when we make car for the Presi-
dent of the United States there is no
way in which We can make It any
better than the car which you, or
anybody else, can purchase from us.
Some OF those writing to me
about Mr.. Tafts car say that, al.
though they are very DESTROYS OF
having n car like Mr.. Tafts, they
are afraid that such car Is some
what larger and more expensive than
they desire. in reply TO such letters.
| point out that our Model % 20
horsepower car Is exactly like our
40 horsepower model, except as re-
CARDS the size OF the different parts,
The principle of construction is ex'
actly the same and the smaller car
possesses ali the desirable qualities
Of our larger model. In other words,
one can secure an exact duplicate or
Mr.. Taft's car for $4,000. or n car Of
the same qualities, but Of smaller di.
mansions, for only $4,000 Judging by
the demand for White cars, q good pro-
portion OF those desiring to purchase
automobiles are quite content to trust
President Taft's Judgment us to the
best and most desirable make"

When their labors were completed,
the officials reported unanimously to
Mr.. Taft in favor OF the White, and,
accordingly, car OF this make was
Immediately ordered from the manu-.

fore his Inauguration and since that
time II has been in almost constant
use. There has not been day when
the President or some member OF
his family have not been seen riding
around the National Capital In the
new car. II is limited that Mr.. Taft
likes fast travelling and that when
he rides out into the open country, he
does not always insist that the speed
Of the car be kept within the legal
limits.

VALUE OF THE HUMBLE HEN.
Figures Make One Think BIddy Has
Not Been Properly Appreciated.


The hens admirers grow. Constant
Is their increase. The first official act
Of Nebraska's new labor commissioner
was a formal appreciation of this
pillar OF society. According TO Mr..
Maupin. this fowl brought 3lS.000,000
worth OF eggs to market in Nebraska
last year. The commissioner Is unpre-
pared to estimate the value Of her OF.
spring in the way OF fried chicken.
She laid 1.200.000,0 900 eggs In 1908.
Placed end to end these eggs would
reach around the earth and overlap
10000 miles. They would make an
egg walk three feet wide reaching
from Omaha to Ogden. With ham
they would furnish breakfast for 600..
100000 people and make an omelet
containing CO.. 900 cubic feet The hen
was worth more to Nebraska than the
boosted wheat crop of S26,000,000; al.
Idost twice as much as the oat crop OF
slG.000.000; 20 times as much as the
barley CROP 20 times as much as tho
rye crop, and one.third as much as the
much-talked-of crop OF corn. The COM
missioner believes Nebraska needs
another seal. Is he not right In think
ing that upon that seal no figure so
well demands recognition as the ever
patient, busy and unpretentious hen.

BLAZES OF GLORY VS.. PURE
DEMOCRACY IN OFFICE.

Georgia is going to inaugurate a
new governor in a few weeks time
and under circumstances that give
promise of putting in the shade the
memory of the famous Presidential
'possum palaver.
I'VE thank Cod" fervently exclaims
the West Point Herald, I'VE had an OPP
portUnity to vote for Joe Brown" The
Herald goes on to explain that the
governor elect is the peerless opponent
of pompous display"
Another Georgia contemporary, the
Madison Advertiser. while not indulg-
ing in any particular burst of praise
or piety, takes pleasure in printing the
promising program 1t rehearses the
historical fact that the Hon. Hoke
Smith took office in blaze of glory"
Joe Brown doesn't believe in such
blazes. 'If the day be fair, he viii
walk; if net, he will ride in street
car to the capitol" But that is only
the prologue of this democratic melo-
drama. And when there he viii take
the Office" Just as he would take a
cigar or a milk shake, "shuek his coat
and go to work. Everything viii be
simple, short and sweet and purely
democratic"
Alas! that such implicit faith should
be put in mere externals. Alack! that
outward signs like shirt-sleeves should
be taken as a guarantee of inward
grace. If our Dixie friends are so glad
to be rid of the Hon. Hoke Smith, then
surely it Is not because of any sin of
pride he may have committed on inaug-
uration day The harm a governor
may do the people can be done just as
readily in negligee as in the elaborate
costume worn when the photographer
comes around to convey the distin-
guished officials counterfeit present
ment to posterity.
1t is well known fact in other
parts of the country that the trouble
really begins after Inauguration day.
