TAFT AND CLEVELAND.

Will history prove that President
Taft like Grover Cleveland a courage
GUS man sacrificed himself for prin-
ciple: We believe that Taft like
Cleveland will go down into history
as man of courage who dares to dc
what he thinks is right not what the
other fellow thinks is right We al
remember how Cleveland was criti
cized and how his memory is now
revered.
Exercises COMMUNICATING the
seventy-fifth anniversary of the
birth of Grover Cleveland attracted
a large number of his friends and
admirers in New York City recent
ly. A letter from President Taft
was read, In which the president
praised the work OF the dis
tinguished democrat says the
Kalamazoo Press.
Grover Cleveland was big
president. because he sacrificed
himself a party man, for prin-
cipie. He fought the free silver
movement and thereby lost the
support of one-half of his party.
He denounced the Wilson tariff
and permitted 1t to become a law
without his signature, because he
knew that German and other pro-
lection democrats had forfeited
| their right to be called tariY re-
| formers BY this act President
Cleveland lost the support of
| large share of his party.
But he was true to the traditions
| of democracy.
President Cleveland showed his
| greatness also when he sent fed
| eral troops to Chicago to stop the
railroad riots. II was courage
| GUS thing to do. but it was right
| History will accord Grover
! Cleveland a high place among the
| presidents of our country.

WHITING STILL HOPES.

Not long ago we chronicled the
news that the Standard Oil company
of Indiana declared 1900 per cent
dividend. Then its sister. the Stand
ard of Kentucky, one day last week
had its stock go up from $3.50 to
$1,000 and all of this happened in
side OF a few hours. On Saturday
captioned More Standard Oil Plums
we read a paragraph about sister
number three. the Standard of New
Jersey. This little orphan is about tc
declare a dividend of 800 a share
cash and its English cousin, the
Anglo-American is exuding dividend;
of 20 per cent and is about to have
its capital stock raised from $1,000
600 to $26,000,000.
For Heavens sake what is caus-
ing all of this joy in the STANDARD
camp? What is the reason for all O.
this extraordinary increase in job.

TIE PERFECT" BABY.

TIE PERFECT" BABY.
At the Iowa state fair, after a con-
test, one baby was declared to be the
most perfect in the state.
In the contest for good points" many
babies were weighed and measured and
tested for proportion. vitality, touch,
taste and hearing.
The test was scientific"
On a scale OF 100 there were no
many marks for weight, measurement,
health, looks. teeth, hair, etc. The
babies intelligence was discovered by
their interest in a photograph, or a
witch held up, or some such proof.
The one baby was pronounced the
perfect one by means OF scale and
tare and Laboratory test"
So far SO good.
But
Who can tell what may be the out
come of that perfect" baby? Often
times the weakest babe turns out to be
the strongest or most intelligent indi-
vidual
