Washington, Nov. 2.-William How.
ard Taft, president of the United
States, holds the record as the cham.
pion traveller of the world. With the
wnd-up of his tour of the United
States in Virginia today. the presi
dent has brought his total mileage
since he entered the service Of the
government in 1900 as a Philippine
commissioner up to practically 100000
miles. After n rest OF few days Mr..
| Taft will go to Cincinnati to vote next
Tuesday and will then begin a trip
through Kentucky and Tennessee that
will bring his travel record well above
the 100000 mile mark
The trip through twenty-five states
which ends today has added about
$4,000 miles TO the record of the cham.
rion globetrotter. The computation
of 100000 miles in eleven years, which
Mr. Taft has covered at government
expense, is based only ON railroad
and steamship travel, and does not
include the thousands of miles the
president has journeyed in automo-
biles nor the side trips by electric
railway and otherwise at the innumer.
able places he has visited.
Since he has been president, Mr..
Taft has travelled approximately 76,.
900 miles up to today. and IL is more
than likely that he will have covered
more than 100000 miles before the
expiration of his term. The president,
as has often been remarked, likes to
travel. He is never more at home
than when he isn't. More properly.
he is at home everywhere, and es-
necially in trains and on steamers.
The zip Of the car wheels over the
rails and the thump.thump of ship
propellers are music to his ears. Up
to date he has spent about $40 nights
in sleeping cars and 225 nights aboard
steamships.
The president is not a little proud
of his travel record. In the biography
he prepared for the congressional d.
rectorv he puts special emphasis on
his trips to Panama, Cuba, the Phil
ippines and around the world His
iourneyinE in the United States does
not appeal to him rs worthy OF record.
as he says nothing of his swings
around the circle-not even of the
memorable trip through thirty-nine
states on which he met the former
President Diaz of Mexico at FL Paso.
Up to 1900 Mr.. Taft had travelled
little In that year President McKin-
ley named him az Philippine COM
missioner On his maiden trip to the

Capt. Kelly and His Aenoplane Will
Be Here With Yankee Robinson Show.

You have been reading for a year
Tbout airships and aeroplanes. You
have read where Wilbur Wright has
sold the aeroplane rights to the ar
mics of France Germany and Russia.
The airship IS now being a certainty
and practicable, it was up to some
up to date circus TO carry one for the
season and demonstrate it to the pub
lie. Yankee Robinson Shows, at as
enormous expense, has secured the
identical ship that made the circle
of the Eiffel Tower in Paris and will
exhibit this machine and its workings
before the people who congregate in
Ehis CITY on the day OF exhibition.
This will be one OF the greatest sights
YOU have ever witnessed in your life,
and it may be many years before you
see another equally as great. Prof
Kelly, who has charge Of the airship,
made every portion Of the ship with
the exception of the engines which
propel 1t through the air. No con-
dition Of weather will deter the pro
fessor from making his demonstration
on day OF exhibition.
