BERLIN VERSUS CHICAGO.

Berlin is aping Chicago. That is Berlin. one of the most beautiful cities of the world. is deeply concern ed in Chicago plans for Identification.
 The German kaiser is ambitious to make his capital the finest city in the world and seizes every suggestion and every opportunity to promote its grandeur and perfection. Last sum- mer he was thoroughly stirred up by the plans for the improvement and Identification of Chicago. which were prepared several years ago by Daniel II. Burnham and Edward II. Bennett of his office. under the direction of the commercial club. and inspired by them. he has appointed a commission to prepare similar plans for tho city Of Berlin. based upon a future popu- lation Of ten millions in the year 200o.
 Tn his enthusiastic and impulsive way the kaiser declared several times that tho Burnham plans were the most perfect and satisfactory he had ever seen. and expressed a profound regret that his capital is so solidly built up and lacks the lake frontage of Chicago. SO that they cannot be applied more closely in the improve ments he contemplates.

This much we can take for granted. that ma jorlty of the leading republicans of the United States, have endorsed Will liam Howard Taft, and his adminis- tration. as the most fitted person to ha Lan in the coming election. And this has been done with a full knowledge of Theodore Roosevelt in the running The leaders of the party. men respon- sible for the running of otn govern ment. have selected PresldeE Taft to again he their champion after weighing the qualifications of tha; wonderful man.
