weaknesses and falling, or other displace

The Best Of Coffee.

The person who is seeking the
brand Of coffee which is best in every
respect, will find that the famous
German-American brand will fully
meet the requirments. The coffee is
raised on a $4,000 acre plantation in
the Tumbala range of the Sierra
Madras and is shipped in the hull
direct to the Portland roasting house
where it is hulled, roasted and sealed
in practically air tight packages. In
strength and delicacy of flavor it is
unrivalled. Try it once and you will
be won over completely by it's un-
paralleled merits. The German
American brand Of coffee can be
secured at only one place in Dallas
and that place is.

The INAUGURAL.

A new cycle in the quadrennially
changing history Of our country's
governmental system was ushered in
yesterday, when William Taft was
formally inaugurated president Of the
United States, to succeed Theodore
Roosevelt.
The transfer of the reins Of govern
ment from the hands of one to another,
will probrably have little or no
marked outward fleet on the general
forward movement Of the country's
economic development, for il the
Fates ever selected man qualified
in every respect to be the logical sue
cessor Of Roosevelt, or if there were
ever man fitted by his very nature
to continue the building upon the
foundation laid by Theodore Roose-
welt, that man is William Howard
Taft.
The administration of Roosevelt
has not been so much an administra.
tion Of achievement as it has been one
of preparation. Roosevelt located
diseased places in the body of the gov
ernment; Taft will be called upon to
apply curative measures. Roosevelt |
set in motion reforms; Taft will have
the opportunity Of carrying them to
completion.
The administration of Taft, while it
may lack the brilliant, mercurial
quality of Roosevelt's, will probably
see few extremes either Of prosperity
or depression, but the close Of his
administration will also probably find
the most veXing Of the many ques-
tions that confront the nation today,
nearer solution than at any prev ,
iOus time.
Constructive, progressive, yet conser- |
vative craftsmanship, the quality
which Taft has proven to be his prime I
characteristic, is the ideal quality t
OF craftsmanship required to make i
use Of the materials gathered by E
Roosevelt during his administration i
and because of that, the people Of the
United States should have reason to i
feel that they chose wisely in select b
ing Taft to take up the work where L
Roosevelt laid it down. \
