thing an aspirant has to do Is to
get big enough army to drive out
the reigning administration, and
then hang on.
But just because governing is so
pleasant, any man who wants to
see only one president instead of
half a dozen, will face the anger Of
all the others. This is the present
situation. If Zelaya starts out to
get control of Central America he
will find every Central American
president and army against him.
United States has always thrown
the weight of it's influence toward
keeping things as they are, unless
consolidation of republics should
be-agreed on peaceably. That is
the reason for the hurried trip Of
the armored cruisers Pennsylvania
and California to Nicaragua.
The FIVE republics, Nicaragua,
Honduras, Guatemala, Salvador
and Costa Rica, gained independ-
ence from Spain in 1921. In 1858
60, William Walker. a daring Amer
lean adventurer. tried and almost
succeeded in making his flag with
the five pointed star supreme over
the isthmus. Since that time the
separate republics have made their
happy go lucky way alone.

GREAT DAYS FOR
GOLD LACE

Special Correspondence TO The Irsss
WASHINGTON. March s.-With
the installation of Mrs. William II.
Taft as mistress of the white
house, Washington sees the begin
ming of social regime in which
the military will have prestige and
the pretty girl will reign in SUI
preme glory.
Mrs. Taft, distinguished in Gin
cinnati and Washington society as
a perfect hostess, is woman OF
unusual attachments. Her tastes
are literary and intellectual. She
has been an ideal companion for
her big Drained husband.
Military men and their wives see
a return of gold and lace and
epaulets and music of the Army
and Navy Forever" in the new ad-
ministration. During his service
as secretary of war and as civil
governor of the Philippines, the
new president won many warm
personal friends among the army
contingent.
President Taft also has wide
circle of personal friends running
through every branch of govern
ment administration. The white
house entertainments will en-
brace large circle.
Mrs. Taft, as mistress of the
white house, is eminently satisfac-
tory to Washington society. You
may not think so. but this Is inn
portant. Washington ladies are ex-
acting and could make life dis
agreeable to a first lady who did
not measure to requirements. In
vitations to Mrs. Taft's functions
have always been priced. long be-
fore there was any hint of her ele-
walton to mistress of the white
house.

result was regarded as a notable
legal victory. Its actual results,
however, were not important. The
merged railroads continued merg-

trust and tobacco trust remained

mat to accept an appointment from
Governor Pennypacker of Pennsyl-
vania as United States senator to
FIJI the unexpired term of the late
Matthew Stanley Quay.
+ Mr. Knox has been safe and
sane progressive. He is popular,
clever and careful. When President
Roosevelt announced his intention
to retire from office, Mr.. Knox be.
came presidential candidate. AS
such he maintained friendly rela-
lions with Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Taft. He was regarded, however.
as having the support of the finan-
eial interests which were opposed
to the Roosevelt and Taft cam
paign.
Mr.. Knox is a man of consider
able wealth, most of it resulting
from his connection with the steel
industry. He owns a fine residence
in Washington and another at Val
ley Forge. He is fond of fast horses
and of other sports.

In cabinet made up mostly OF
lawyers, Philander Chase Knox,
secretary of state, is the head law
yer in President Taft's cabinet.
Mr.. Knox is first and all the time
lawyer. 1t was his ambition to
be a lawyer when he was years
old. The local member of congress
in Brownsville, Pa, where he was
brought up, patted him on the head
and asked him what he wished to
be. "a lawyer" replied the boy.
So, when he got through Ohio
Wesleyan university he worked in
a drug store long enough to get
money to go to Pittsburg. There
he entered the law office of H. B,
Swope and in 1875 was admitted to
the bar.
His trend was to the private
practice of law, and the only pub
lie Office he ever held, between this
time and his entrance into the Nc
Kinley cabinet in 1901, was when
he was assistant United States dis
trict attorney for the western dis
trict of Pennsylvania, in 1876.
The original suggestion of Mr..
Knox for attorney general aroused
some unfavorable comment. 1t was
recalled that he had been employed
by Messrs. Prick and Carnegie of
the steel trust and had advised
with them during their famous
fight on union labor at the Home
stead works. This opposition, how,
ever, was overcome. and the SER
vice begun by Mr.. Knox in the Nc
Kinley cabinet was continued when
Roosevelt succeeded to that office.
Under Roosevelt Mr.. Knox was
the pioneer prosecutor of combina-
tons in restraint of trade. He
brought actions against the beef
trust, the Standard Oil Co., the
paper trust and the combination of
northwestern railroads, known as
the Northern Securities Co. In the
latter suit he was upheld by the

In some quarters, at least, the

est proof of this Is that he has
held his place without interruption

revolutions and has invaded Hon.
duras and the British colony in
Central America.
It is known that Zelaya Is ambi-
dous. He has been drilling his
troops and buying arms. He was
active in organizing the short lived
republic Of Central America In
1898, which included all the little
states except Costa RIGA. Zelaya's
enemies say his purpose in that
was to get the governments con-
centrated in one place, then put
himself at the head OF It. The
scheme fell through, the greater
republic dissolved.
