TAFT LEAVES THE
- ssist ~ rgr2sfs-Sa
SUNFL0WfR STATE
FkESlDENT TALKED TO GREAT
FHRONGS BUT HIS RECEPTION
IN KANSAS WAS CHILLY.
s TILL AVOIDS VETOES
Aauds Corporation Attorney and Talks
OF Peace and Arbitration in
Topeka.

LeaVenworth, Kansas, Sept. 27.-
President Taft left Kansas tonight
wondering what the Sunflower state
thinks of him.
While the President talked to great
crowds during his three days cam
paign, beginning Monday at Chilly
Goffeyville, he failed to work the
thiongs up. In every city where the
President visited in Kansas, he passed
along streets with clusters Of people
on the culbs to see him, but none to
cheer him. Kansas is an enigma to
the President, except that he left here
under no delusion concerning the gen.
eral state of mind with respect to his
Tariff vetoes. All Kansas has harshly
criticised him for that.
The President dropped off today
at Topeka, Atchison and this city and
in each place talked to immense
crowds It is all stand pat territory
and it was to be expected that Mr..
Taft would get q lively welcome. But
even if the people did turn out in num-
befs they failed to lose themselves in
estactic delight. They had a way in
the three cities of letting the Presi-
dent off With as little applause as pos
sble
In Topeka, as the President rode in
an automobile to the country club at
s o'clock in the morning, the towns
people gazed upon him in respectful
silence. On the green at the State
capitol the President spoke to a
crowd of forty thousand, the largest
that has ever gathered there. He
stood in boiling sun with the ther-
mometer at 100 and talked ON Peace
Arbitration. He lodged the Tariff
veto.
The automobile bumped into a mill
tiamen on the way back to the train
at Topeka. The soldier picked him
self up in time to keep the car
from running over him.
At Atchison, Mr.. Taft was hauled
out to a picnic ground to be a double
attraction with Bailie Waggener, for
mer Democratic state senator, attor-
ney for the Missouri Pacific and gene
rally prominent citizen, one of whose
indulgencies is to give everybody in
Atchison an outing at his expense
every year. Here throng of $4,000
stood upon shaded slope, leading
up from the grandstand and heard the
President sound extravagant praises
!of Wagner, the corporation attorney
Mr.. Taft at the solicitation of towns
people presented Mr.. Waggener with
silver loving cup, betokening the af-
lection of Atchison. Mr.. Taft steered
clear of politics in his speech.
In this city $4,000 crowded into a
public square in the baking sun and
heard Mr.. Taft make a feeble defense
of his vetoes, pursuing exactly the
line of his talk at Coffeyville. He got
no cheers.
Leavenworth is Democratic and the
assemblage that greeted the President
was essentially non-paTtisan, while
some 5000 people saw Mr.. Taft pass
along Leavenworth's prominent
thoroughfares in his automobile he
aroused no enthusiasm. A circus in
town last week got more cheers.

Brewster a letter he received late
Tuesday night. The letter was mailed

VINE FOR THE CITY
is THE AMPEL 0PSIS

The Ampelopsis Is one OF the most
useful hardy vines. What great i'm
provement might easily be wrought In
appearance and value not only In city
houses, but those Of suburban towns
and country districts as well, with a
few Of these plants to soften the hard
angles and break UP the fairness that
30 often prevails.
The best plant, and the one most
generally used for this purpose. is AM
pelopsis Veitchii, the we'll known Bos-
ton or Japanese ivy.
Among the chief features In favor OF
this plant, 1t clings closely to the wall
or other support by means of its disk
bearing tendrils, requiring considerable
force to tear 1t away, thus no strag-
Cling vines are seen hanging down or
bare places on the wall once the Ampe-
lopsis has grown over 1t.
Dust smoke and other conditions in
cidental to cities so disastrous to plant
life have little effect on the growth OF
this plant.
It is beautiful at all seasons, the
bright green foliage OF early spring
changing to dark green during the
summer and again to the lively fall
tints Of red and orange. Even the deli
cate tracery of It's leaf1ess stems in
winter is attractive.

with large five fingered" leaves more
suitable for growing on fences. garden
walls, posts or masonry entrances to
drives, walks, ETC., than on buildings.
owing to its loose habit Of growth.
There are many different forms OF this
native vine, all are beautiful, especially

Inviting the Recall.

From the New York World.
Two very important news articles In re-
pect to the judiciary were printed I'm the
sunday papers. One was President Taft s
strong protest against the recall OF
Judges; the other was the report that
Governor Dix had decided to appoint Dan
ell F.. Cohalan to succeed Senator OGor-
nan as justice of the supreme court
The World is In the fullest sympathy
With all that Mr.. Taft said against the
,ecall of judges. No surer method could
,e adopted to degrade the bench and leave
he administration of justice at the mercy
II demagogy. But to thousands of per-
IONS such an appointment as Governor Dix
purposes to make will be accepted as an
inanswerable argument In favor of the

,olely to placate a political boss, the peo

From the New York Times
Why should a critic who objects tc
Yankee" as an inadequate name for all
he inhabitants of the United States de.
nand the substitution for it OF the word
American"
1t is true, of course, that, as originally
ised, Yankee meant a person horn In
me of the New England states, and per-
laps It still means that, among ourselves.
,ut il Yankee" is Objectionable as too
mall to cover us all, American" has the
ault, at least equally serious, of being
90 large. Besides. Yankee" is our own,
o do with what we please. while "Ameri-
IAN" belongs as much TO the Patagonians
md the Eskimos, and to all the queer and
interesting peoples in between, including
he Mexicans and the Canadians as It
Ices to ourselves.
We may think ourselves rather more,
md more truly, American than any of the
,thers, but anybody who lives in either
II the two Americas is OF necessity. an
american, for we don't own both CONT
lents-yet. We never shall, unless at
,ome time, which won't be next week or
he week after, our virtues and manners
win such fervent admiration from our
,eighbors to the north and south that
heir eager sol.citude for admission to our
glorious privileges becomes an irresisti-
Die compulsion to let EN- in.
Meanwhile. yankee" isn't such a bad
lame, and though it be stretched, 1t doth

contempt, and laughter. when m.tigated

ot-grown plants are most useful for
planting. especially In the small spaces
usually found about city houses Ampe-
lopsls does not require particularly
good soil, and will thrive under adj
verse conditions, such as I'm the dry soil
generally prevailing close to the house

Before planting remove at least a
cubic foot OF the old soil and replace
with good loan. A well grown pot
plant when knocked out Of the pot will
have a network OF fibrous roots, cover
ing the outside Of the ball OF earth.
Loosen up these roots at the bottom
before planting as they will grow out
into the fresh soil more rapidly than IL

After planting, water thoroughly and
as often as required until the plant be-

IN WOMAN'S WORLD
THE PERFECT WOMAN

Not in character, but in
beauty. Here are her measure
ments: Height, 8 feet 3 inches
to feet inches; weight, 125 TO
lao pounds.
A plumb line dropped from
the tip Of her nose falls at
point one inch In front of her
great toe. Her shoulders and
her hips touch a straight verti-
cal line. Her waist tapers so
as to touch at each end line
drawn from the outer third OF
her collarbone to her hips. Bust.
% to SO inches; hips, 6 to 10
inches more than her bust;
waist, % to % inches.
Her upper arm ends at hor
waist line, so that she can rest
her elbow on table while
standing erect, and her forearm
extends SO as to permit her
fingers to touch a point just be-
low the middle of her thigh.
Her neck and her thigh are OF
the same circumference, and so
are the calf Of her leg and her
upper arm.
Her legs are about one-half
her height. or as long as a line
drawn from her chin to her
fingertips. From her waist to
her feet she measures about a
foot more than from her waist
to the crown OF her head.
Neck, 12 to IA inches: head on
q line with the central plane of
her body. The size Of her
glove is just twice the size OF
her shoe.
Those OF us who do not meas
ure up to these requirements
may console ourselves by re-
Meeting that perfect beauty
grows very monotonous.
