MRS. TAFT'S NEW DUTIES
"Ffrst Lady of the Land" Not a
Novice in Society

Washington, D. c., March 9. -
Mrs. William Howard Taft, "frst
lady of the land" has assumed du-
ties without public ceremonies or
oath OF office, which, in weight Of
responsibilities, magnitude of i'm
portance, delicacy of execution and
absolute lack of compensation, ex
cept in love for her husband, the
president, and loyalty to the nation
as its first woman, have no COM
parison.
President Taft is charged under
his oath with executing the Office
of president Mrs. Taft is
charged, without oath, with admin
istering the social and domestic af-
fairs of the White House in man
ner consistent with allowing that
reverse and historic pile to be the
public property of the nation and
1T the disposal without hindrance
of its S0,00O,0OO of citizens, and at
the same time be the official place
of entertainment of the represen-
tatives of foreign nations and domes-
tic dinitaries.
Mrs. Taft will execute these re-
Quirements primarily by means of
her long experience in public life.
As the wife Of Mr.. Taft she was first
lady of the land in the Philippines;
she was his wife as federal Judge
and as a cabinet minister. In the
latter position Mrs. Taft learned the
requirements of Washington society,
and at the same time she became an
intimate friend of Mrs. Roosevelt,
and from her learned the detailed
operation of White House etiquette.
1t was from this intimacy, to
which is added a thorough discus
sion and mature consideration, that
Mrs Taft is today in full possession
Of the detailed requirements OF her
position, has reached her own con-
illusions, and is already maxine

the executive mansion necessary tc
meet her ideas.
That these ideas will meet witt
general approval when they are un
derstood is a prediction.
The addition of the executive Of
fice building permits of an entire
enforcement OF the official business
of the president from the White
House proper, and this additions

full extent.

the country habitable have been

from the yearly rainfall Gncluding

ippi rivers. Half the rainfall lis

sea through navigable and other
streams; and a six is either con-
sumed by living things or absorbed
into the earth. or the three Mis-
slssippis going down to the sea, some
80 per cent. flows in flood torrents,

property to a value reaching over
800, 100000 yearly; and although
hundreds of millions of public
money have been spent in "improv-
ing" the channels so ill-advisedly
that river navigation has steadily de-
clined, both floods and the correla-
tive low waters are increasing, while
not more than per cent, Of the

at cost comparable with that of
steam installation, sixth is utilized,
a twentieth runs over government
dams unused, and the remaining

harnessed, enough to drive every

and boat, and light every city, town
and village in the country. Nature
