He will meet President Diaz on the

that of Taft. by the way, but lie had

been president of Mexico most of that

president when Taft was "rah-rah"

makes up in other ways. In Il weigh

One of the Texas stations at which
the presidents train will stop is Taft.
The name is already getting into geo.
graphical fame, only in this case it
is that of his brother Charley. big

Charles p. at which the president will
stop for several days to rest up from
his outing.
From st. Louis Mr. Taft will go to
New Orleans on a Mississippi river

The Roosevelt Tour de Force.

The Roosevelt Tour de Force.
With the rough rider The prcsiden
tial tour became more than mere
outing aud qualification of the curl
osity OF the people. 1t was means of
spreading his principles. 1t was moi
only his method of finding out what
the country believed. but an avenue
through which to tell the country what
he believed. Travel with Roosevelt

not stirring up the people he was stir
ring mp the bears and wildcats. Mean
while he was making il unpleasant for
the trusts. the nature takers and sew
zens. No old time preacher went on
the circuit with more OF the eXhorter's
zeal than did Roosevelt. 1t was not
enough 10 write books. magazine arti-
cles. voluminous messages, interviews
and letters galore. He also went out
TO John Smith at Kokomo and Henry
Jones ut Painted Post and told them
about it, Roosevelt not only believed
in publicity for the trusts. but in pub

it there was. Whenever IT. r." hit
the trail the pressmen oiled their ma
chimes and the linotype operators pre-
pared for extra hours.
In this respect it is fairly certain
that Taft will follow in the footsteps
of his predecessor His tour will be a
means Of telling the country what he
&c. IN Il In hi rio
he will lay down his policies and out
line the program of his administration.
The vast number of addresses he will
be called upon TO make will give am
pie opportunity for this. At one point
he can lay stress on one policy, and ut
another he can enunciate his purposes
in another direction. Thus his utter.
ances on the whole tour will be found
TO constitute Il mosaic which. fitted to-
gether, will give his complete program.
In the central west and in the home OF
the insurgents he may be expected TO
offer defense of the Payne bill. i'm the
northwest to outline his plans as 10
conservation. in the south his policy
further 10 allay sectionalism and ev-
erywhere his plans to regulate the cor
porations. lis ideas as to monetary re-
form. his proposals for additional rail
road legislation and his opinions on
other questions agitating the particular
section in which he is speaking or the
country at large. These speeches the
newspapers will carry TO the ends OF
the nation. Here is far and away the
most important feature of the Taft
tour. 1t Infinitely transcends the num-
Der of miles he will cover. the partic.
ular cities he will visit or the brand OF
entertainment he will receive. The
tour is the presidents method OF TAX
ing Uncle Sam into his confidence.
From this aspect it is an appropri-
ate and Enthusiastically democratic
event.
1t is estimated that despite the length
of this tour it will give only one per-
son in eight an opportunity 10 see the

the craft to the bottom and hold 1t
there. The president will have to have
his submarines and aeroplanes made to
order. as he does his chairs and beds.
Even the buying Of Il Taft horse
requires the securing of the country
in order that one may be found that
will stand the strain. One of the
reasons that the White House auto
mobile is & government machiue is
that no mere privately owned one
would be sufficient. In the matter of
the present tour. however. the roads
are now well ballasted and the cars
strongly built. so no fears need be en-
tertained on that score.
Washington Toured In a Coach.
The presidential tour has been in
vogue ever since the days of G. Wash
ington, who used to go about in
coach and four. with children ahead
scattering flowers and citizens on the
roadside raising their cooked hats in
homage Washington's mode OF travel
made it impossible to cover much ter
ritory. but then there was not much
territory in those days to cover. There
is also Il record that James Monroe
made Il coach tour of New England
and other parts of the country in days
when there was such an era of good
feeling that partisans had ceased TO
call each other names. | am not sure
just what president was the first to
make use of the railroad for touring
purposes, but it was some time before
the civil war Lincoln did little trav-
cling, leaving that to his generals, who
did quite Il little going. both on the
advance and the retreat Mr.. Lincoln
visited the front quite often. however,
and rode a horse along the lines. with
his tall hat far aloft and his feet and
coattails close to the ground. Andrew
Johnson WAS Il lively and violent trav-
eler and started the term swinging
around the circle" He appealed to the

lin spite OF the speed of his circle

could not make speech. but the cOun-

There is no record of Hayes. Garfield
