-A-HLIAM HOWARD TAFT'S
NM denomination for the presi-
dency by the Republican
party comes to him after
twelve years Of administrative expe-
rience in the national field of action.
which he resigned a life position as a
Judge of the United States circuit court
10 enter. at the solicitation of Presi-
dent Mckinley. He enjoys the distinc-
ton Of having been appointed to OF
fee by four Observation-Disclosures, Harrl-
son. Mckinley and Roosevelt-and has
held two positions once held by his IA
Their. Alphonso Taft, those Of United
States circuit court Judge and secre-
tary of war. The elder Taft was at
torney general of the United States.
His son has been solicitor general OF
the United States.
Like his father, William Howard
Taft was educated al Yale, from which
the former was graduated In 1889 and
the latter In 1878. 1t may be men
toned in passing that other posts In
the national service for which his IA
Their was selected were those OF minis
ter to Austria in 1888 and minister to
Russia in 1886.
In boyhood Taft seems to have taken
first rank among his compeers, for the
physical 'bigness' which has become
noted in the man vas a characteristic
of the boy who wasn't so high up,
but bully far wide out" In these years
be acquired the not very poetic nick
name of "Lubber," but "Lubber" Taft
and later "Lub'' Taft combined spirit
and activity with mere bulk and led
the .shill gang in their boyish war
fare against the lads Of the valley be-
low.
LONG CALLED "BIG BILL"
There is, however, only n sobriquet
appropriate for the big lad or a big
man whose first name is William. and
before manhood approached this par
ticular one was duly dubbed Bill Taft.
and such he is to his real friends, and
such he always will be.
Young Taft finished his school days
creditably, and as his father was not
only a graduate. but also a trustee OF
Yale, his son entered that university.
He was hailed with delight by the ath-
Ietic contingent of the college. for he
had become more robust with & and
in him, they thought, was a team man
seldom added to their ranks. They
were doomed to disappointment. for
the Cincinnatian had gone to the in
~stitution for an education and not for
athletic honors. A classmate tells us
that he did try for the crew and that
he piled a powerful oar. but that he
was too hefty for the fragile craft in
which the blue eight" did their an
nual foul mile stunt.
Thirst for learning. however, had
come to the young collegian. and he
did not even attempt TO reluce his 225
pounds avoirdupois in order to make
the crew. Instead he devoted his time
to study and was the s~alutatorian Of
the class of '7s. receiving his A. b.
before he was quite twenty-one years
OF age.

To Oil State Roads.

Chairman o. E. Weller, of the State
Roads Commission, announced that con-
tracts for oillng state roads had been
awarded the United Gas Improvement
Company of Philadelphia and the Stand
ard Oil Company. The--work is to be
completed by August 10. The commits
sion has also decidedt to try out concrete
on roads, macadam having failed in some
instances to return satisfactory results.
The first experiment. will be made at
Point Branch on the Baltimore and
Washington Boulevard. Here the road
is often washed away by the stream
during high water, and concrete is
about the only material to hold the fill.
In speaking of macadam roads Mr..
Weller said they are quickly worn out
where the automobile traffic is heavy,
and he thinks concrete would be very
much more servicable.
The chairman and Engineer Shirley
have recently completed tour of the
road system. The work under way is
being pushed, and where the progress
has not been satisfactory the contracts
were abrogated

.ROOSEVELT'S BATTLE
MAY SOON Be STARTED
Campaign Carrying Him Into Nearly
All States is Probable.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, July r.
Within less than fortnight Col. Roose-
welt probably will begin the campaign
trips which are to carry him into almost
every state of the Union before the
November election. Although he has
not reached a final decision, he expects
to leave Oyster Bay week after next.
Kansas, Iowa and Michigan are tenta-
lively on the program. He may also
attend the Chicago convention of the
new progressive party.
The purpose of Col. Roosevelt's trip
if it is made, will be to tour states IN
which primaries will soon be held to
nominate Republican presidential elect
ors.
I've been asked to go to the three
states to take part in the primaries
campaign" he said Il have not def
nitely made up my mind. Both the
Roosevelt and TAFT forces are going to
make fight at the primaries, and each
of them has announced in advance that
it will not abide by the result in case it
is beaten. The fight will be to see which
side will have to name its candidates
for presidential electors by petition in
stead of having them on the Republican
ticket,
THE primaries in these states will be
held before long, and if make the trip,
| shall leave in ten or twelve days.
Col. Roosevelt is not eager to leave
Sycamore Hill during the heat of mid
summer. There is much to be done at
home, moreover, IN the way of superln-
tending the organization of the third
party and reducing to working basis his
ideas in regard to economic and social
reforms which he wishes to use in his
campaign. With what he regards as
the greatest fight of his life ahead,
however, he has decided to put aside
other considerations if he deems it

.HAB|TUAL DRUNKENNESS
NO LONGER A PROBLEM
DR.. {. Marion Wynkoop. Founder Of
Marion Cure. Has Established
Branch In KitzmiIIer.

DR.. E. Marion WYnkoop, founder OF
the Marion Cure for drunkenness and
drug addictions, of Washington, D. c.,
was in Oakland yesterday on business,
the most important being that of taking
upon himself the vows of matrimony,
his bride being Miss Edna Cole. a hand
some Baltimore city lady, the bridal
party having driven over to Oakland
from kitzmiller earlier in the day.
accompanied by Mr.. j. E. Chapel
where DR., Wynkoop has established a
branch Of the Marion Home. The we'd
ding ceremony was performed in the
parlors of the Frantz Hotel by the Rev
DR.. Riker.
DR.. WVnkoop has achieved both sue
cess and tame in his work of effecting
permanent cures of persons addicted to
the use of drink and drugs. He is an
acknowledged authority on the subject
ana has made signal success in solving
the problem that has confronted med
ical skill and science in the matter of
permanently eliminating the desire for
strong stimulants and the indulgence of
insidlOus drugs. In his research nc has
travelled extensively and studied the SUBJ
ject thoroughly until he has mastered
the proposition. The result has been
that chemistry has given to the world a
cure that repeated tests, under most
difficult circumstances, has proven in
tallible.
Before undertaking to publicly pro-
claim the virtues of the cure Dr. Wynn
koOp spent months in the large cities
of the country at police headquarters,
police courts, investigating the various
cases that were brought in of confirmed
users of drink and drugs. At his own
expense and without hope of financial
return he obtained the consent and the
authorities turned over to him for treat
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1912-07-18

ment several of the more helpless cases.
The proposition was at first ridiculed,
but nothing daunted he undertook the
task in which he had every confidence.
In less than two weeks the results were
simply short of marvellous. Men that
had been identified by the police as
habitual drunkards and generally
worthless characters, were restored to
normal conditions. They at once be-
came rejuvenated and took a new lease
on life; obtained positions and in every
instance have changed from the life
of vagadondage to that of, respectable
members of society.
The Marion Cure has received the I'M
qualified endorsement Of the highest
medical authority, state and municipal
officers as well as of the federal gov
eminent.
An appealing feature.ofl the treatment
is that no hypodermic injections Of
poisonous drugs are used, and patients
are seldom required to lose any consider
able length of time from their business
duties
The branch of the Marion Home estab-
lished at Kitzmiller by Dr. Wynkoop is
in charge of Dr. H. Straughn and Mr..
Chapel, where a number of patients
are already under treatment.

 STATESMEN AT CAPITOL

years, but who are now about to re- tire, are John J. Gardner, of New Jer- sey, who for many years was promi- nent as chairman of the house com- mittee on labor; Samuel w. Mccall. of Massachusetts, generally spoken of as the scholar" of the House, and who came very near being named President Taft's running mate by the Chicago convention; Cyrus sulloway, of New Hampshire, who has effected more genuine pension legislation than almost any other member during his eighteen years of service in Congress (and who was the author of the dol lar.a.day" pension bill appropriated by Gen. Sherwood, of Ohio, last session, and passed by Congress), and J. c. Needham, of California, who has been prominent member of the powerful committee on ways and means during the last few years.
 Other prominent members serving their last days as national legislators are Edgar A. Crumpacker, of Indiana, the sole surviving Republican mem. Der of the Indiana delegation during the past two years, and M. E. olm- stead, of Pennsylvania, who prabably would have been speaker of the house, succeeding Mir. Cannon, had not the Democrats taken control two years ago.
 So complete has been the change in the lower house during the last few years that only thirty Republi- cans who were a part of the 2O6 Re publican members on January 1, 1904, will remain as members of Congress under President Wilson.
 Payne, of New York, Daddy.
 All of this leaves Soreno E. Payne, of New York, as the daddy" of the House. Mir. Payne was author of the Payne.Aldrich tariff act, as it was presented to the public in the lower house. At that stage 1t was a gen" uine tariff reduction measure, and rep. resented Mir. Payne's personal views on the tariff. But when it went to the Senate, and Mir. Aldrich got hold of it, it was changed so completely that it is almost unfair to continue the use of MT. Payne's name in con- nection with it. Every effort has been made to defeat MT. Payne, prin- cipally because of this measure, but evidently his home folks think more of his than do the muckrakers, and he continues to be reelected, even in the face of Republican disaster in all directions.

HELP THE FISHERMEN
 GET A SQUARE DEAL

The manager of the business house in which the conversation was talk ing place said 1t was a burning shame. The town of Juneau should take the matter up and provide a cold storage plant that would offer pro lection to this branch of the fishing industry.
 "They talk about destructive fish traps" said this merchant, what about the destruction of 50 per cent of the halibut catch that is shipped out of Juneau? Is our halibut worth saving?" he continued, "and are these men who go out and suffer the hard, ship and toll entitled to some protec- ton in the matter of getting an equitable price and an honest return from the fruit of their labor?"
 The Empire is urged by the fisher men to continue the endeavor to in- terest the people of Juneau in the matter of providing a cold storage plant

A Washington dispatch says it is rather a heartless system maintained by this country whereby the voters send so many of their public men down to defeat in November and then insist upon their returning to Washington for three months to be the object of mock condolence and fippant cartoons. But such is the written law and the city is more or less filled with scores of these deject cd statesmen who left Washington last August hoping against hope that their return would be triumphal.
 When the country sent Democrat ic landslide into Congress two years ago, things were bad enough. But this year. the rou.e is complete, and instead of merely the more modest and unimportant members of the Re publican wing in the house of repre- sentatives being shaken off by the passing storm. this time the ground is covered with members who have been the legislative leaders of the country for years, and whose names have been in public print almost daily whenever Congress was in ses sion. Indeed, it is everywhere con ceded that in no other period ot American history have there been SC many important changes in the per sonnel of the house as is now abou to take place.
 In the first place Uncle Joe" Can non is to go That will leave de cided hole in matters legislative fol many months to come. Uncle Joe has never had real enemy in tho house of representatives in all tho years he has served the state of Il linois in that body, and that is long time. He is beloved by Demo crats, Republicans, Progressives (an' Victor Berger) alike, and his recen defeat and relegation to private Tiff vas received with deep regret.
 Closely allied with Uncle Joe" il all his later legislative career, and d most to travel the same bitter path way "back home" at his own expense is John Dalzell, of Pennsylvania.

"It don't make any difference whether fish are nine cents or four cents in Seattle. We get just the same amount for our shipments" These remarks were made in a water front loungiug place this morning by fish, erman who had but recently landed a catch of fine halibut.
 As he finished speaking a chorus of approval was echoed by his fellow workers.
 "Irs all very fine for these Seattle fellows to wire up here that fish are worth six. eight and nine cents, said another. but We know that they only allow us to get half the money that's coming-if the price is up then more Of the fish are repOrl' ed spoiled"
