GEORGE w1cKERsHAM
Personal Characteristics of MT. Taft's
 Attorney General

From the New York Sun.
 After he became a member of the Philadelphia bar he inherited a comfor table fortune from his grandfather, and married Washington lady of position and means. He came to New York. He practiced his profession. He eventu ally became a member of the firm of Strong and Cadwalader. He was sue cessful from the start, and not once did he relax his varied intellectual activ- ities.. The story told of his early rising to master the vocabulary and grammar of new languages is true. MT. Wicker sham is hnguist. He is fond of the Romanic tongues. His ease in Spanish has been noted. He knows French and Italian and has sound working ac- quaintance with German. His know ledge of the law is profound. Corpora. tion law is his hobby; interstate com merce law he is versed in. His exper- fence has been in what is called "office practice He seldom appeared as a pleader, and never before was in the national limelight. It is said that he needed urging to enter the Taft cabi- net. His practice has been lucrative
 And what manner of man is MT. Wickersham? He does not carry men tally or physically excess baggage. He has the torso of a big man, and he is a short man. He is more interesting than handsome. At first sight his dropping iron gray mustache and large eyes-the prominent eyes and insistent gaze of the myopic-have recalled to some E. H. Hartman. He can be as solemn as a sepnlcher or as vivacious as southern Italian. His laugh is hearty, and he is not morbidly modest. His mental alert ness is reflected in his quick pace and sharply decisive movements. The brow is wide and high. the mouth and teeth aggressively large, the jaw salient. A masterful man, good hater, man of quick temper, man with a stubborn backbone, man compact of energy, seemingly more spaniard than Ameri- can; dark skinned, exotic, and gentle man. His religion-now far from the Spencerian days--is Protestant Episco- pal. Yet by temperament he is not conservative. MT. Wickersham' atti-
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1909-03-25

tude towards politics has been consist ently the same for over thirty years. He believes in the republican party for the republicans. A man and lawyer may do that and not be a spoilsman, though 1t may be admitted that the ex- ample is as rare as blue moon. He was at one time deeply interested in electricity, and he was once an accomp- ished telegrapher.
 A more versatile and cultivated man will not assist at President Taft's coun- cils than George Woodward Wicker sham.

QUALIFIED VOTERS

There has been considerable discus sion and much difference of opinion TO- garding those qualified to vote at the coming bond election. The law is very plain on this question and all should be familiar with it. The Harrison act, providing for bond issues in the cities and territories of the United States says:
 On the question of the issuance of
 said bonds no person shall be quail
 fled to vote except he be in all re-
 spects a qualified elector and owner
 of real estate OR PERSONAL
 PROPERTY SUBJECT TO TAXA
 TON within the municipality.
 In case two thirds of the qual-
 fled voters as above described shall
 vote afirmatively for the issuance
 of said bonds, then the mayor and
 common council shall issue them
 and not otherwise.
 Under the provisions of this act the coming election to vote on bond issue, the proceeds of which are to be used in buying and extending the water plant and constructing sewerage system, will be held. That portion of the act reading "OR PERSONAL PROPERTY SUBJECT TO TAXATION" is of par ticular interest. It has been erroneously held that a person to be fully qualified to vote at this election must be TAX PAYER, either on personal or real prop erty. The law plainly states that any person who is the OWNER of personal or real property SUBJECT TO TAXA. TON is qualified to vote. If yon are tho owner of a watch, diamond, piano, horse, COW, household furniture, or any thing in the list of taxable personal property, you are eligible to vote and should irsist upon your rights. If you have never paid dollar s worth of per sonal property tax and are not now on the tax assessment rolls, but are the owner of personal property SUBJECT TO TAXATION you are a qualified vot- CT at the coming bond election, and should vote, whether you are in favor of or against the bond issue; and it is your duty to register at the earliest pos sible moment and vote on election day.
 It is also enormously stated that two thirds of the actual voting strength of the city must be registered in favor of the issue before the mayor and common council can proceed with the sale of the bonds There is no court in the world that would so closely apply the law. The voting strength of the city would be determined by the total number of votes cast at the election in question. If two-thirds of the votes are favorable to the bond issue, 1t would then be held carried by two-thirds vote of "the qualified voters"

Eat What You want of the food you need Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount of good wholesome food and more than this you need to fully digest it.
 Else you can't gain strength, nor can you strengthen your stomach if it is weak.
 You must eat in order to live and maintain strength.
 You must not diet, because the body requires that you eat a suffic- tent amount of food regularly.
 But this food must be digested, and it must be digested thoroughly. When the stomach can't do it, you must take something that win help the stomach.
 The proper way to do is. to eat what you want, and let Kodol di- gest the food.
 Nothing else can dc this. When the stomach is weak it needs help; you must help it by giving it rest, and Kodol will do that.
