OGAN AfNA
When big Bnl' Taft went to bat on
March the fat man got his innings.
Since the days Of Falstaff the pudgy
figure Of the man of adipose has stood
for sleek good nature bland tempera-
ment, unctuous speech and slow loco
motion.
But our 800 FOUNDER Of a president is
not slow.
! 1t is undeniable that he waddles in
his walk like a duck, though the Taft
waddle is not as well known as the
Taft smile-because Big Bill usually
rides in carriage.
But he is not slothful.
He is stout without being obese. he
is portly without being pursy, and he
is anything but lazy. He is neither
slow on his feet nor sluggish in his
mind.
Taft can do days work along with
any lean and hungry Cassius.
He has a suave smile, but-he saws
wood. just because he doesn't wrin-
kle his brow and enshroud his soul in
gloom is no sign the man is lacking In
will power or able decision.
Somebody is going to be fooled by
that smile.
For behind the glossy and jellied sur
face Of the mans exterior. over which
no wave Of trouble seems to roll; be-
hind the easy laugh and the hearty
manner behind the sleek badges of
good fellowship. is sense Of Justice
as keen as an edged tool, an incisive
judgment an obstinacy that is like
stone wall.
Besides
Taft has what Theodore Roosevelt
lacked-diplomacy
All fat men are diplomats.
Taft knows how to handle men so
as to get things done, which is rare
trait
He has proved that faculty, whether
it has been in an interview with bolo-
man or South American minister of
state, whether he has matched his
wits with a smooth contractor or the
emperor Of Japan. He knows how to
get results.
Beneath the rule Of men entirely
great VIII the oleaginous way be
mightier than "the big stick?"
That remains to be seen. But. how
ever that may be, with the coming Of
Taft the fat man comes into his own.
And the cartoonlst revels in the
wrinkles Of the presidential chin.

The Steiuheil Case.

Paris is experiencing the delectable SEN
sation of a great murder trial. So in
tense is the public interest in the case
OF Nine. Steinheil. accused OF killing
her husband and mother. that special ar
rangement to prevent the suffocation of
the courtroom have been devised, After
the press and bar have been accommo-
dated the provisions of the French law

public are met by admitting the first hun
dred persons In line. plan which puts a
premium upon enterprise at the court
room doors. with the result that q queue
was formed many hours before the open
ing OF the first session.
This intense public interest in the Stein
he'll case Is caused not only by the fact
that the defendant Is a woman of more
than usual beauty and charm but by the
limitations that have been given from
time to time since the crime was COM
mitted that this was not an ordinary
murder. but that II had a direct bearing
upon certain phases of recent French
history. The name of the late President
Of France has been directly coupled with
the case. The police have been at work
upon the solution OF the mystery for

Steinheil is presented.
SteinheiI. an artist of small fame, was
found murdered in his bed. His mother
in-law lay dead in her own room. His
wife was gagged and bound tightly to a
bed post I'm her room. She declared that
the crimes were committed by a party of
masked men accompanied by a red-haired
woman. Steinheil was not wealthy man.
and his robbery could hardly have been
the object of a gang Of criminals. That the
killing of the man and the woman had
been planned to conceal certain circum-
stances and possibly another crime was
the initial theory of the police. When
later the name of President Faure was
brought into the affair the police hy-
pothesis expanded until it included rami-
fications reaching even to the Dreyfus
affair
According to the first reports of the
trial in Paris, Nine. Steinheil is an ex-
ceptional woman. OF highly emotional
temperament, with a certain dramatic
affectatiOn, she is conducting her own
case virtually in manner to appeal to
the imagination of the volatile French
public. La Stenheil' will probably be-
come the cult of the hour, and mean
while students of crimirality will have
an exceptional opportunity to study the
development of case which offers all
