TAFT AND CONGRESS.

While a guest of New Orleans.
President-elect Taft was courteousIy
and delicately urged to bring to that
section of country certain improve
ments which the commercial Interests
greatly desired. In his reply, Judge
Taft good naturedly reminded his
hosts, that, while he was personally
interested in the welfare of the south,
as president, he would not be tine

far as my influence goes he said, 1t
will be exerted in favor of these enter
prises. but 1 am the executive, and 1
expect under the Jefferson-Lou1stana
theory, 1 have but little power in leg
islation.'' He declared that congress
will consider at the extra session what
congress pIeases to consider. The
proper way to secure legislation from
congress, he intimated, was to bring
to bear upon congress the power OF
an aroused public opinion.
The astute president-elect is not
looking for trouble. He knows that
the best way for the president to get
at 1oggerheads with congress is to use
a dictatorial policy toward the solons

RoosEVELTs REIGN.

On the pages of the history of the
United States which are to be written
in the future, the seven and one-half
years of presidential service by Theo-
dore Roosevelt will occupv a far more
important place as a militant agent for
the progress and the development of
the present and Immediately succeed
ing era Of the nations life, than it is
and optimistic of its contemporaries.
And this measure is anything but
small.
At the present time much of the
spectacular and the dramatic with
which the Roosevelt administration has
been fraught and which. has caused the
retiring president to be most unjustly
criticized and even maligned, is upper
most in the public mind. But when the
time comes for sober analysis of the
achievements of Roosevelt which will
be worth recording for all time, it will
be found that his work has been as
great as it has been various. The
tasks he has accomplished have been
monumental and historic in many par
ticulars. The projects he has contem-
plated, and which have not been full
filled because of lack of time and of
inclination on the part of members of
coordinate branches of the govern
ment, have been equally as many. And
the great majority of these unaccom-
lished things will not die with the exit
of Mr.. Roosevelt from +he presidency.
They are live issues of the greatest of
public moment. the necessity for which
is apparent and to which the people Of

Lots of the stories on widowers are
not true.
A man admires two kinds of
women: Girls from 16 to %. and
women like his mother.
We often hear women abuse men
by the hour. And we usually think
the men deserve all they get.
Things are getting on such a strict
sanitary basis that a man can no
longer chew the ends of his mustache
without first having them boiled.
We don't know how it is with

1t is good thing for a man to be-
come good penman. Many man
has written girl asking her to take
a ride, and she had read his invitation
as marriage proposal, and married
him.
1t is said that when a certain young
has $3.50 in her own name in the
bank) extra fuel has to be put on the
fire, and water standing in the room
freezes.
There will be a marriage in Atch-
ison soon, for which there is no pos
sibIe excuse. The man is no longer
young he is shiftless, ugly and or
merry, and yet a nice respectable girl
is about to marry him. II she is doing
it out of pity, she should have some
of that feeling for her father who
will have the worthless fellow to keep.
Girls have very little pity for their
fathers, by-the-way.
A number of years ago the clinging
vine style of architecture was favored
by every woman. Grandmother was
a clinging vine; Mother showed less
need for support, and Daughter to-
day, couldn't be made to cling il
nailed to the tree. This being the
case, the gowns Daughter is wearing
are not appropriate. They are soft
and clinging, and make her look as
wind-tossed as last years grapevine.
Either the women should be more
humble, or quit wearing those hip1ess,
petticoat-less dresses that make them
look like semi-invalids.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

You can lick most anything into a

The most that a girl likes about
getting engaged is how some mean old
cat said she never could.
The more friends a man, has, the
more he'd better never try to prove it
by putting them to the test.
Most men who are born rich act as

HARNESS
CACHED 1T AND RETURNED TO
PROFIT BY HIS THEFT.
Was Detected in the Act and Made on

Harness Behind.

Smith Brothers, grocers, seem to
be the victims of a most persistent
harness thief. A delivery harness
was stolen from their barn in the rear
of their store, Washington avenue and
Twenty-slxth street, few nights ago
and the firm proceeded to replace the
same by buying a new one. This
morning the stable man, upon unlock
ing the barn. discovered that the new
harness had been taken. Upon investi-
eating, it was apparent that the thief
had entered the barn by means Of a
ladder.
A few hours afterward. the proprie-
tor of the adjoining blacksmith shop
observed a roughly dressed man ap-
proach a wagon in the rear Of the
buildings, secure large bundle
wrapped in sacking and start away
with it Upon percelving that his ac-
tons were being watched, the man
dropped his bundle and started on a
nun up the street.
The bundle proved TO be the new
harness belonging to Smith Brothers
and the police were notified No
trace could be found of the man. 1T
is thought that after stealing the har-
ness and placing 1t beneath the wag'
on where it easily could be secured, he
