When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr.. Taft
would use an automobile during his
terms as president, much rivalry de-
veloped among the leading manufactur-
srs for the honor of selling him a car
and the public watched with interest
to see what Mr. Taft s choice would be.
The knowing ones predicted that the
White Steamer would be selected and
they pointed out that President Roose-
welt had used White Steamers for two
years at his summer home at Oyster
Bay and had recommended this make
to Mr.. Taft as the most desirable.
This prediction proved correct, al
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely
on Mr Roosevelt IS recommendation
but, with his usual thoroughness, de-
termined to have an investigation made
of all the principal makes. Accord
ingly, he asked several members Of the
War department to look into the mat
ter for him and they tested many
makes Of cars, visited a number Of fac
tories so that they might see what
materials were used and, finally, they
investigated tie records Of the diff
ferent types Of cars in public contests
and IN private service.

When their labors were completed,
the officials reported unanimously to
Mr. Taft in favor of the White, and,
accordingly, a car of this make was
Immediately ordered from the manu-
facturers, the White Company Of
Cleveland.
The new car was delivered to Mr..
Taft in Washington a few days before
his Inauguration and since that time it
has been in almost constant use. There
has not been a day when the president
OF some members Of his family have
not been seen riding around the nation
al capital in the new car. 1t is limited
that Mr.. Taft likes fast travelling and
that when he rides out into the open
country, he does not always insist that
the speed Of the car be kept within the
legal limits.

cific coast branch Of The White Com
pany, l47O Market street, San Fran

Of this paper: owe are receiving

details regarding the construction of

Steamer except that his car has the
United States coat of arms painted
on either door. in other words, when
we make a car for the president of the
United States there is no way in which
we can make it any better than the
car which you, or anybody else, can
purchase from us.
Some Of those writing to me about
Mr.. Taft 8 car say that although they
are very DESTROYS Of having a car like
Mr.. Taft IS, they are afraid that such
a car is somewhat larger and more ex-
pensive than they desire. In reply tn
these letters I point out that our Model
90 20 horsepower car is exactly like
our 40 horsepower model, except as re-
CARDS the size Of the different parts
The principle Of construction is exactly
the same and the smaller car possesses
all the desirable qualities Of our larger
model. in other words, ! point out
that they can secure an exact duplicate
Of Mr.. Taft 8 car for $4,000, or a car
Of the same qualities but Of smaller
dimensions for only $4,000. judging
by the demand for White cars, a good
proportion Of those desiring to pur
chase automobiles are quite content Il
trust President Taft s judgment as t.
the hest and most desirable make. "

Is America Too Big2

Chicago Of the "good
old kind " is antiquated and practically
worthless in these modern times, ae-
cording to Francis w. Parker, in an
address last night TO the Sons Of the
American Revolution.
At least this is tho case in the
United States, be said, because the
United States is too big to be loved
II declared that no American loves his
land 10 the same way that the Swiss
and the Norwegians love their lands
" Neither, continued the speaker
"have we Americans any dynasties ia
love and around which TO center oui
love of country We cannot love tho
house of Roosevelt or the house Of
Deneen, or Of j. Hamilton Lewis.

touching upon the preparations
which Baton Rouge is making for
the reception of the Boston party,
which Is to come here November 10
to dedicate the shaft in the National

1T is very gratifying to feel that
the good people of Baton Rouge are
taking such an interest with us in
the dedication of the shaft which Is
to be erected. l had a most enjoy
able visit from the president of your
board of trade, Mr.. F~arrnbacher, and
the governors private secretary, MT
Fuuua. No two people ever worked
more faithfully to accomplish what
your people most ~desired-to have
the dedication take place when the
president was in Baton Rouge. It is
utterly impossible On account OF the
state election, as something like
three-fourths of the official delega
ton are up for reelection, and Of
course they could not be away"

mANH0LE BLOWS UP.
Series Of Sewer Explosions Shake
Now York West Side.

New York.-Ncarly q square mile OF
the middle West Side was shaken Thurs
day Afternoon by u series of W ex-
plosions, which blew manhole covers high
into the air in crowded tloroughfares,
injuring several persons, did considerable
damage to property and caused a mo-
ment of sharp panic. Alarms of fire
were turned in, the police reserves called
out and factory employees, shopkeepers
and tenement jewellers rushed to the
open streets, for the explosion had the
force of earth shocks.
Seven-ycar-old Emil Miller was stand
ing on a manhole cover when the first
rumble came. He and the cover shot up
ten feet, and Emil came down about a
foot from the manhole, out of which
flames were pouring. He was badly
burned about the face and body and
taken unconscious to a hospital where it
was said his condition was serious. The
police explain the explosion by the ac'
| cidental ignition of sewer gas mixed with
gasoline vapor from the waste discharges
of the many garages in the ncighborhood
Some careless smoker, they think, cast
a lighted cigar stub into the sewer open

Distributing Government Supplies.

Houma.-Col. Stephen M. Foote
and Hon. r. F. Broussard upon ar
rival here completed arrangements
at once for the distribution Of cents,
blankets and rations to the storm
refugees. The supplies arrived at
the Southern Pacific depot and were
placed in charge of F. J.. Louviere.
A tent was erected in Court square,
where Justices of the Peace J.. G..
Bourg and E. A. Aitkens were placed
in charge, assisted by the town po-
lice. A roll was made out of all the
worthy sufferers, and they were told
to report and receive their donation
from the government. There were
men, women and children of all ages.
Each party named on the roll was
given an order, which he took TO
Mr.. Louviere, in charge of the sup
plies, who handed him out his quota.
Many of these people are anxious to
get back to work, and the tents will
house them until they can erect
homes again and allow them to go on
with their occupations.

Parish Fairs Ar. Success.

Baton Rouge.-The parish fairs are
great successes, regardless of the
fact that the crops in many sections
are supposed to be failures. Eugene
Jastremski, secretary of the state
board of agriculture and immigration,
who has just returned to the city
from an inspection OF the Lincoln
parish fair at Ruston, said:
Lincoln parish has a most credit
able exhibit this year. 1t was much
surprised at the splendid agrlcultu'
raj and livestock display that they
have. The agricultural display is
especially creditable, when the fact
is considered that crop conditions
in that section have not been up to
the usual standard. The display
showed a great variety. Taking ii
all in all, the fair is a distinct sue
cess and a decided credit to Lincoln
parish
Mr.. Jastremski will visit other par
ish fairs as they open.

eminent to supply sufficient cur
rency to meet the demands of the
business interests of the country was
necessary, although Americas Golfers

as a proper solution Of the government
problem stands the proposed national
central bank.
It is the common belief that it will

own favorable disposition toward the
