eighty to 100 Each season there are
four such functions, costing from $500
to 1000.
Then there will be the coming-out
party of Miss Helen Taft; there will
be gowns and other. things to provide.
During Mr. RoOsevelt's term he had
to defray the expenses of the coming
out parties of his daughters, Miss Alice
and Miss Ethel Then there was the
wedding of Miss Alice to Nicholas
Longworth. For functions sucn as
these the feminine members of the Of
fetal family must be fittingly gowned.
and the ball dresses may approach or
exceed the $1,000 mark. The costum-
ing for a single season is staggering
OF course, Mr. Taft will have to pay
for the clothing of his sons, their
tutoring and schooling and incidental
that with the magnitude of his posi-
ton the expenses of a president, COM
pared with a man in private life. ara
proportionately large
Many persons imagine that when the
president travels his bills are paid
by the government, just as a travelling
salesman's are covered by his firm
lot apt Of Mr
velt's term the sum of $4,000 a year
was allowed for travelling expensez
but when the presidents salary was
raised to $4,000 this item of relief was
dropped.
The travelling expenses of the kaiser
of Germany, which are paid by the
German government, are said to be
$5,000,000 a year. The president OF
France receives 100000 a year, with
a further allowance Of a similar sum-
Even if he wanted to do so, President
Taft could not very well practice the
economies of President Fallieres Of
France who receives so much more
than he. The French president is pain
fully economical. When he succeeds
NJ Loubet there were fifteen horses IN
his stable. All excepting three were
sold by M. Fallieres, and these are SAID
to be old and decrepit. Upon ofhcias
occasions M. Fallieres has been accus-
toned to hire horses, even to drive Wis
iting sovereigns.
One can readily see that Mr.. Tan
cannot do what the private millionaire
can-saIt away his income. Compas-
ing his salary with that of other presi-
dents it does not seem too large, after
all. The president of Mexico receives
SEQ 900 a wear, the president OF Argen-
tina $50, 900 and the president of Sanfo
Domingo and Haiti each $4,000.
OF monarchs the czar of Russia is
said to receive the greatest amount OF
money. From his state pay and his
nrivate income he is said to get about
$12,0OO,0OO year IHc c'poAoi "a
Austria receives from the state
s3.S75,00O a year; the king OF Italy.
s2.S5S,O00, of which $4,000 is for
other members of the family; William
III as king of Prussia, $3,S52,77o and
a vast amount of private property.
the king of Spain, s1,400,0Oo besides
$500. 900 for his family. Even the fru-
gal homeloving queen of Holland gets
$3.50. 900 a year, in addition to large
revenue from domains and $62,500 for
the support of the royal family, courts
and palaces.

strom has a brilliant future before
him as a platform orator, aid when
the applause ceased that greeted him
as he walked to his seat, the question
uppermost in the minds of many was
who is entitled to first place in the
contest.
The judges handed in their de-
cisions on the merits of all to Mr..
Elmer U. Berdahl, one of the students,
who had charge of the contest and
then awaited with intense interest
the totals.
Miss Thompson won first place on
the markings but owing to a tie be-
tween two Of the contestants which
required the totals of the six judges
to decide, Miss Thompson was put in
second place by three points, but as
there was considerable doubt as to
the legality of such procedure, the
question was submitted to the gener-
al secretary in Chicago for his opinion
and the answer came by telegraph
that Miss Thompson was entitled to
first place and MI. Linstrom second.
It's a very happy solution of a very
close contest.

The contestants spoke in the order
named and all won hearty applause.
1t is not our desire to criticise the
young men for most of them will
make rapid progress as successful
platform speakers with careful train
ing.
There were two notable exceptions
among the speakers-Miss Marie
Thompson and H. A. Linstrom. the
latter closing the debate before an
audience that was deeply interested
in the outcome after hearing Miss
Thompson, whose appearance and
manner instantly aroused attention
and then admiration. She is tall and
graceful with the presence and poise
of a finished artist. Every gesture
was in harmony with a perfectly
modulated voice, sweetly resonant
and under perfect control. After she
had spoken a few minutes the audi
ence began to realize that Augustana
College had a lady orator of the first
class and one that in our opinion is
the equal If not superior tt the most
accomplished artists that ever ap-
peared on the auditorium platform in
this city. We do not believe she has
an equal in the state in all the ele-
ments that go to make the finished
artist. She has a brilliant future as
a reader and the LEADER shall watch
her career with pride. Her home is
In Deuel. county.
Messrs. Brekke and Hovda did re-
markably we'll, and Mr.. Linstrom
had spoken but a few minutes when
the audience began to realize that a
close contest was up for decision be-
tween him and Miss Thompson. His
voice and action displayed evidence of
careful training and he discussed
"The Advent of Freedom" with the
grace and dignity Of a finished artist.
In form he very much resembles the
Little Giant" the famous Stephen
A. Douglas, who stumped the state of
Illinois with Mr.. Lincoln. Mr.. Lin
