candor Of President TAFT.

Chicago Post: In his speech at Pc
oria concerning his old ambitions and
his indiviual feelings about the presi-
dency Mr. Taft dipped once more into
the amazing franlsness" which so
surprised washington during the early
days of his administration. Which is
to say that he talked straight out"
like human being instead of an in
stitution.
The politicians say this is bad poll

tics. But politicians are professionally
opposed to candor.
For our own part, we believe that
when Mr.. Taft strikes this intimate,
personal, human note he makes for
himself more friends than can be won
by all the cold, clever, big talk in
the world.

"On Nov. Is we received a letter
from the national commission request

BOWLING NOTES.
! The same teams will meet each 9TH
er next week, the only switch being in
the alleys.
! Meenan rolled the first game with
the Cubs last night, but had 10 leave
early to keep an important social en-
gogement.
Potter is hanging up high scores
with great frequency. Soon he will
have the high score average cinched
II he keeps up the performance of last
night with any regularity.
Schwecke was as poor as Potter was
good. The balls broke badly for him
and he failed to reach the 400 mark.
Raines was another who failed to make
400.
Hildebrandt sat on the coaching
lines last night and tried to pull the
Stock Leaders up. but his efforts failed
except in the second game.
The Plow City team rolled a kitty
last night, and that score was the high
one for the two teams. 1t will be the
last kit for the team this season,
under the rules. the Pillow City team
hcviHg exhausted it's supply of kit
ties"
Captain Clemann failed to secure as
many pins as usual last night. The
worries of the Cub position set heavily
upon his youthful shoulders, appar

Swanson's middle game was good fol
more than 200 just little short of his
other two games put together.
Ackman supplanted Meenan las
light and rolled games with fair aver
ages.
