Taft and Reelection.

The President it is said, is amused at
the serious Interpretation put in some
quarters on his reference at dinner he
attended in this town Saturday night
to the suggestion of a second term for
him. He is thought to have conceded
that the jig is up with his party, and
practically to have expressed the wish
that moving day for him was tomorrow.
While the compliment paid him was
hearty enough, it was in way conven-
tional. Mr.. Taft is not only good-na-
tured himself, but the cause Of good ma
ture in others. handsome, smiling man,
and a free talker, formally or inform
ally, he affects company strongly, and
draws men to him. So that in his pres
ence all the conventions are easily OBJ
served. His personal popularity, indeed,
is everywhere marked.
On this occasion, while semi-humor-
ously describing his experiences in the
White House, he mentioned the limit OF
a presidential term. Instantly, of course,
he was interrupted with the suggestion
of second term, and he treated it most
pleasantly. The episode was well man
aged on both sides-so we'll managed
make it the basis for serious gossip.
AS matter of fact. Mr.. Taft, as re-
spects a second term. is in the hands
necessarily of his friends and of fate
The question is not for him at present
to decide. 1t must wait upon time. If
his administration is a success-and the
verdict on that point cannot be rendered
now-his denomination will be a ceI-
tainty and his reelection highly prob
able. If his administration fails-that
is to say, If democratic House is elected
this year. and democrats are elated and
republicans depressed in the spring of
1912-who will care to deprive him of
leadership for that years campaign?
The reply may be Mr.. Roosevelt The
former President, We may be told, will
be happy to step forward, and, with
Mr.. Taft's assistance, save the day. But
with Mr.. Taft confessing failure by re-
firing from the field, could even Mr.
Roosevelt save the day?
We must all wait for the wagon. OF
only few things may we now be GER
tain. Mr.. Taft, like all genial men, has
hot fits and cold fits. He strives for
approval. and likes it when it comes.
He is apt to be hipped when it fails to
come. But he is, hot or cold, at all
times man. and he is not going to
run away from consequences He was
not expecting bed Of roses in his office.
and has not found one. If his party bids
him try again. he will obey. II the coun-
try at the polls declares for four years
more in the White House. he will serve,
and be glad of the chance.

The Poor Croesus.

II is a great misfortune for man to
gain an identity through relationship
with some other person or through the
possession Of a large fortune Personality
counts for but little with the multi-ml-
lionaire or with the son OF a Croesus. 1t
is almost impossible to judge such per-
son as an individual, and undoubtedly
those whom most men envy for their pos
session. present or prospective, Of i'm
mense wealth often sigh for release from
the thraldom of fortune. This at all
events is the situation Of the man who
Is best known to the world as "Hetty
Green's son." He has characteristics Of
his own, is progressive business man,
conducts himself as a good citizen ana is
in no wise unusual except that at forty
two years of age he remains unmarried.
Bachelors of great wealth are not COM
mon, but IL all men Of large means were
Of the same mind as Mr.. Green there
would be more Of them. In recent in
terview he tells with pathetic plausibility
Of the reason why he has never married.
It is impossible, he says, for man of
conspicuously large fortune to be disas-
ISOLATED with his wealth. He would have
married long ago il he could have been
sure of being accepted for himself alone.
He hints darkly at efforts to lose himself
in the maze of humanity. to sink his
identity long enough to be known as a
plain individual. 1t Is not difficult, he
SAYS, to get away from the public. even
though portraits may have been printed
in every city in the country. The danger
to the obscurity- seeking Croesus is that
some old acquaintance will suddenly turn
up with recognition which spells the
game In short. II Mr.. GREEN'S plant Is
founded upon real experience. the predica-
ment OF the millionaire who is trying to
gain recognition solely on his personal
merits and to separate himself IN the pub

a penny in her right hand. Around
her neck there was a belt that the
child had worn and which had beer
used by the murderer to strangle hel

The body was found by the father OF
the little one and a neighbor, who had
kept up a search for her all night
The police were at once notified Of

The little victim was Sadie Tishko

She was the daughter of Harry Tish
