There mas been considerable specu-
glatlon as TO whether Taft and Roose-
welt twill contest foFTttifie presidential
nomination next year. That matter
was settled several years ago and
many Of those now specializing on
:ithe matter should know it. Roose.
SyeIt brought about Taft's nomination
On 1908. But for Roosevelt Taft
would never have been thought Of in
c6nnect ton with the nomination.
However, Taft is no fool and what
ever failings he may have 1t must be
admitted thatshe has good sound judg-
Sment and hard common sense. No
man ever considered the presidential
.nominatio for a first term without a
thought, and a serious thought, Of
-FOUR years hence. Taft was no ex-
ssception to the @rtfle. Ht not only
! thought Of theS matter but has dis
3cpssed It with Roosevelt and then
\ and there arrived at an understand.
ling which IS In full force today. BY
the terms OF that understanding Taft
controls the situation in so far as he
and Roosevelt are concerned. Roose.
welt has bound himself In honor to
not only stay out Of the race If Taft
desires REORGANIZATION, bu. to assist
the TAFT candidacy In every way
Y possible. IN case Taft should find
public; sentiment seriously antagonis
! Tie to Shis candidacy. and should stay
out Of the Eight then Rcoseyel: viii
i6be AT liberty TO 80 In and will have
the support of:5Tatt and his friends.
Taft saad Roosevelt are 70 happy &C.
cord on the principal national issues.
The sonly differences is one Of TEN.
\ permanent Taft accomphshes with
! oil sand brush what Roosevelt goes
after with gun and battle axe. 1t is
sa pretty safe guess that the Republi.
can nominee in 1912 will be Taft Or
Roosevelt but in any event they will
name the man.

Senator Watson to break into pub,

In the eyes Of the Democratic
press his is the sin Of :::omlssionr'

What the Intentions OF the new sena;
tor were can only be surmised by put,
q . y ! u r.. & .g

lowing this line Of reasoning the logi.
cal deduction is that Senator Watson
wanted the ship subsidy bill passed
since he in the catechism recently con.

that he favored the ship subsidy.
Here is the question and answer as
reported generally. soon Of the inter.
view was given out.

So the senator evidently got what
he wanted with very little trouble. d
John Temple Graves in speaking
Of this incident In the New York
American says 1t is the first time in
fifty. years that the President Of. the
senate has been called upon twice
in one day to break a tie vote which
was the case on the vote on the ship
subsidy bill with Mr.. Watson absent.
The article speaks of "a young and
ineSperlenced senator from West Viz

No matter what; the reason was for

Cheap Travelling In America.
(Toledo Blade III

An American, touring in Europe,
kept a careful account OF hfs railway
expenses. He covered 2,154 miles In
u journeys varying in length from 3S,
toast miles. The total fare paid was
s76.55 and the charges for baggage
carrying were s1s.42, or s95.s7 in ALL,
This figures close to An cents per
mile. Coming home, these expenses
were compared with those of II rail-.
way trips In the United States, vary.
Ing from 40 to All miles, the total dis
lance being 2,211 miles. The costs
were $62.s0, including those for par
Tor car seats and excess baggage. The
rate per mile was a little more than
two and eightitenths Y cents. This
would make European railway travel
more than SIS per cent. more expen:
siye than that in America, One by
one the beliefs that Europe is a vastly
cheaper place to live in and move about
In than the United States are being
dissipated by cold facts. 1t is known;
that meat is higher over there, that
lumber 4 SO high that 1t cannot ,.be

will so stand behind the Presidential
to command final approval.
