Elegant Simplicity Characterizes
the Modish TrOuSSGdu.

Adorab little coats were worn by
the bridesmaids at a recent out of
town wedding. They were worn over
frocks of corded and shirred chiffon in
pastel shades, the coats being of pastel
brocaded satin, with trimmings of
swansdown.
At the front they fastened across the
bust with diamante clasp ornament.
and at the back there were long coat
tails which fell almost to the knee.
The coats were matched by caps of
gold lace and sWansdOwn. with bag
crowns of velvet. Satin boots with
crystal buttons matched each costume.
English brides this season are favor
ing lingerie of excessive simplicity,
though the garments are made of the
finest possible handkerchief linen ba-
tiste and the lace used is handmade.
A rousseau just finished for a young

At least $4,000 horses, says the Ami

the railroads of the United Kingdom,
and despite the advent of motor power
the number is constantly increasing.

splendid animals. and in the hospitals
connected with the stables the latest
scientific treatment is given Turkish
baths and inhalation of oxygen are
among the remedies. The examination
of food is carefully attended to, and by

COMES OF GOOD STOCK
President Taft's Family Just Plain
People for Generations.

President Tatts FANNY JUST RAIN
People for Generations.
President Tafts family halls orig
inally from Massachusetts, the town
of Uxbridge. Tafts are said to be so
thick there that even woman cannot
throw a stone without hitting one.
The Tafts held a reunion at Tx
bridge in 1874 and descendants of the
original Robert Taft fiocked there
from all parts of the country. Alphon-
SO Taft. the father of the President,
delivered an historical address at this
reunion in which he made a some
what remarkable prophecy, all with
out being conscious Of it. This is
what he said, the account being taken
from the report of the reunion pub
lished at the time:
"Our family has not embarked much
upon national politics, except that
they have shared in the battles Of the
country when National independence
was to be won and also when the I'm
ion was at stake. But brilliant politi-
cal careers have not been character
istic Of the Tefts Of the past. 1t is
not safe to say what may be in store
for them. There is a tide in the al
fairs Of men and also of families"
Alphoaso Taft himself started the
tura of the tide which be then predict
ed. His son William, who was later
to have a brilliant career as Secretary
of War, and still later as President,
was that year entering Yale.
The Taft ancestors have been of
mighty good stock. Peter Taft O715)
is reported to have been "a large,
good looking man with a magnani-
nous disposition"
Aaron Taft, another ancestor, was
also magnanimous, so much so, that
he lost money by endorsing a friends
notes. Despite this fact he is report
ed to have been a man of great intel
ligence, as well as integrity Going
stil further back. there was Captain
William Taft who captured Blamey
Castle in the 18th century

actions and what he has said when
ever the subject has been brought up.
He must realize that, holding as he
does, the biggest job on the Western
Hemisphere, many others have their
eyes fixed on the same high place and
the interests, which always seek to
control the government, are ceaseless
in their efforts to place man favor
able to them in the presidential chair.
Knowing then the uncertainty of poll
tics and the traditional ingratitude of
republics, President Taft has spoken
of just such a contingency. He spoke
directly to the point on this matter
when he said
81 am very grateful for the honors
the people have given me. do not
affect to deny the satisfaction l should
feel, if, after casting up the totals,
pro and con, and striking a balance,
they should decide that my first term
had been fruitful enough of good to
warrant their giving me another, Any
man would be proud of such verdict,
but have not been willing, nor shall
be, to purchase it at a sacrifice OF
my freedom to do my duty as l see
it. My happiness is not dependent
upon any office and l shall go back
to private life with no heartburnings,
if the people, after an unprejudiced
review of my administration, conclude
that someone else can serve them to
their greater advantage.
THE truth is that political consid
erations have not weighed heavily
with me. | have tried to do in eacf
case what seemed to me the wisest
thing, regardless of its effect upon my
future. Indeed, in more than one
case l have been perfectly conscious
whose bad blood would be stirred b!
some act of mine, or some refusal t.
act. The circumstance that som,
persons who hail me after one appli
cation of equal justice, as a far seeing
conservative patriot, denounce me al
ter the next, as an unreasoning radi
cal, does not greatly disturb m.
equanimity. I set that down as a.
in the days work"

TO PROBE LIVING COST
President Taft Wants to Know Cause
of Hiqh Prices.

of High Prices.
One subject in which the average
householder has vital interest is
the high cost of living. Much has
been written and spoken about the
ever growing expense of the American
household, but the blame for the con
dition which seems to prevail all
over the country has not yet been
fixed.
President Taft proposes to do this,
and one of the most timely subjects
he has discussed recently is this same
problem. President Taft proposes to
appoint a commission, consisting OF
experts, to carry on an investigation
as to why food prices are steadily
going skyward. The middleman is be-
ing freely blamed because it seems to
cost more each year to live and many
believe the charges we'll founded.
President Taft's proposed commission
would ascertain this fact accurately,
and the causes once learned, it is
thought the problem could be solved.
President Taft himself says of the
plan: "One legitimate advantage OF
such an official investigation and re-
port, is the enlightened and informed
public opinion, which Of itself, will
often induce or compel the reform of
unjust conditions or the abatement of
unreasonable demands"

TAFT MONEY OFFERED
Bet Makes Big President Odds-On
FaVorits.

The wager recently offered in New
York of $1,000 to $4,000, that the pres
ident will be reelected if nominated,
seems to show that somebody has con
siderable confidence in the return Of
the presidents administration to pow
er. Somebody with $4,000 believes
that Bill Taft can come back.
Money talks and some of the en-
thusiastic hackers Of Mr. La Toilette,
Colonel Roosevelt and Woodrow VIII
son ought to come to the front and
take the short end Of this bet. AS a
sporting proposition, this is a good
bet, even If he loses, but the fact that
there are no takers as yet speaks elO-
Quenuy. The east, which necessarily
gets a clearer view Of the president
and a more intimate knowledge Of his
work, from being closer to him, is evi-
IDENTIFY pretty well satisfied with Pres
ident Taft and believes he will be re-
elected. The bet will be allowed to
stand for some time. it is reported,
waiting for some courageous enemy
OF the administration to come to the
front with his $4,000

WOULD TAFT Be A
GRACEFUL LOSER?
His Friends Believe He Could
Meet Defeat and Still
Smile.

How does President Taft view his
own chances for reelection? If the
fortunes of the campaign should go
against him, would he be a good
loser? Can he stand the gaff without
his future being embittered?
These are questions being asked by
Americans, who love the National
game of politics and take interest in
it. Nothing is more uncertain than
this same game and if the tide should
20 against the republicans and land
a democrat in Office, would the big
fellow in the White House still smile?
President Tafts supporters do not
expect anything of that sort to hap
pen, but they believe he is a good
loser, basing this opinion on his past

Present Administration Has Waged
Constant Warfare.

TTSoSHA NuHhUhohioh ohiOl i'oS "~sN~
Constant Warfare.
People generally have never given
President Taft credit for the remark
able activity Of his administration
against the trusts. Unlike his prede-
cessor in office, he did not hunt the
trusts with brass bands, trumpets and
flying banners. He did not advertise
to the far corners of the country what
he intended doing before he started
in campaigning against the big com
binations of capital.
But the fact is, that President Tart
has done more in fighting the trusts
than any other president in the his
tory of the country. A number OF the
biggest monopolies have been dis
solved by prosecutions at the direc-
ton of President Taft, notably the
Standard Oil and Tobacco Trusts.
During the three years in Office
there have been instituted under the
Sherman Antitrust Act, thirty-seyen
prosecutions of illegal combinations
of capital. A number of these have
already been successful and the peo-
pie may look for the favorable con-
clusion of many others. This is a re-
cord that throws in the shade the
performances of any other president
although it covers but three years.
President Roosevelt was quite active
in fighting the trusts, yet in his seven
years in office, from 1901 to 1905 he
caused but forty-four suits to be
brought against the trusts.
