TAFT TOASTS WILSON
PRESIDENT CLOSES "sWAN SONG"
BY GRACEFUL COURTESY
TO SUCCESSOR.
IRONY AND HUMoR IN SPEECH
Chief Executives Address Before
Lotus Club in New York Consid-
cred by Many the Most Remark
able Every Made.

New York, Nov. 19.-In speech
which many of his hearers considered
the most remarkable he has ever
made, President Taft sang his swan
song" as chief executive of the nation,
when. as the guest of the Lotus club
Saturday night, the president respond
ed to the toast, The President"
The president earnestly advocated
the admission to the halls of congress
of members of a presidents cabinet,
and declared a six-year term In the
presidency was enough for any nan
He advocated the placing under civil
service of practically every officer In
the government employ. He limited
broadly that congress should provide
for ex-presidents so that they need
not lower the dignity of the position
they have held when they enter into
private life.
His humorous references to the bur-
dens of the White House, to his sue
cessor and to Mr.. Bryan brought forth
round after round of applause.
The president closed his speech with
a toast to his successor.
Health and success to the able, dis
Ginguished and patriotic gentleman
who is to be"-and he raised his glass
while his hearers rose to their feet
''the next president of the United
States"
President Taft said in part:
Il saw in the name of your club the
possibility for a swan song to those
'7out to disappear.
e. You have given me the toast of
The President 1t is said that the Of
fee of president is the most powerful
In the world, but I am bound to say
that what chiefly stares the president
I'm the face in carrying out any plan or
his, is the limitation upon the power
and not its extent.
What are we to do with our ex-
presidents? l am not sure DR.. Osler's
method Of dealing with elderly men
would not properly usefully apply to
the treatment of ex-presidents. The
proper and scientific administration of
4 dose Of chloroform or of the fruit of
the lotus tree might make fitting end
to the life of one who had held the
highest Office
Il observe that my friend Mr.. Bryan
proposes another method of disposing
of our ex-presidents
LAS Warwick and as a maker of
ex-presidents. l think we should give
great and respectful consideration to
his suggestion Instead OF ending the
presidential life by chloroform or
lotus eating. he proposes that it
should expire under the anaesthetic
effect of the debates of the senate.
He proposes that ex-presidents
should be confined to the business OF
sitting in the senate and listening to
The discussions in that body.
Why Mr.. Bryan should think it
necessary to add to the discussion in
The senate the lucubrations of express
idents l am at a loss to say. If must
90 and disappear into oblivion, l pre-
Ter to go by the choloroform or lotus
method. It's pleasanter and it's less
drawn out"

his purpose of calling an extra session
of congress not later than April Is. in
stead Of waiting six months after he
assumes the presidency on March 4.
for the regular session to convene.
President-elect Wilson took the first
important step Friday towards carry
ing out his pledges to the people.
AS he issued his statement the pres
ident-elect remarked:
"The list of members of congress
and prominent Democrats throughout
the country who had expressed them
selves on the subject showed that the
sentiment in favor of the calling Of an
extra session was widespread-I might
say almost unanimous. The extra ses-
sion will have the advantage Of giving
us an early start towards effecting the
reforms to which the Democratic party
is pledged"
simultaneously with the issuance of
his statement, the president-elect gave
permission to say that he is to spend
his vacation in Bermuda. He sailed
on the steamship Bermudian from the
pier Of the Quebec Steamship COM
pany at West Tenth street and North
river at two O'Clock Saturday after
noon The Bermudian was booked sol
idly and the president-elect was as
sured by the officials of the line that
there were no politicians among the
passengers. The president-elect will
spend four weeks on the island, re-
turning to New York December Is. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and
the Misses Jessie and Eleanor Wilson.
Miss Margaret Wilson, the elder
daughter, remained in New York to
continue her study of music
Governor Wilson has leased little
cottage on the island from an Ameri-
can He requests that its exact loca-
ton be kept secret lest he be bonn
barded by letters from Office seekers
and politicians. He intends that this
shall be real vacation, free from
work and worry. The governor will
spend much of his time bicycling and
horseback riding.

loudly and n flicker Of light leaped
from a small hand lamp and revealed
to its bearer the tagged and quivering
figure on the floor.
Some one sat down beside him with
low exclamation of solicitude and
gathered his head into her lap. Some
one quite simply EMBODIED his neck
with soft arms and pressed his head
to her bosom, and as II that were not
enough kissed him full and long upon
his lips.

in French. What has happened,

Now the integral madness of all this
was as effectual In restoring O'Rourke
to partial consciousness as had been

Blankly he told himself that he was
damned, and that 1t was all dream.
And yet, when he looked, 1t was to
see, dim in the feeble glimmer of the
lamp, the face OF woman as beautt
full as young, as young as beautiful.
: One glance was enough. ORourke
shut his eyes again. "If look too

ish or-or turn into fiend. Sure, tia

1t was falling when o'Rourke saw
1t. In another breath he had been
stabbed. Unexpectedly the Greek
shrieked, dropped the knife as though
1t had turned suddenly white-hct in
his hands, and leaped back from
O'Rourke, nursing a broken wrist;
while voice as sweet as the singing
of angels rang in the fugitive's ears,
though the spirit of it's melody was
simple and crude enough.
"O'Rourke, be all tn powers! The

his arm grasped by strong and conf.
dent hand, permitted himself to be
swung to the right and across the
street. In thought blackness again
was all about him, but the hand
gripped his arm, hurrying him onward;
and he yielded blindly to its guidance
without power, for that matter, to
question or to object; what breath
he had he sorely needed. And as blind
ly he stumbled on for perhaps another
hundred yards, while the voice of the
rabble made hideous the night be-
hind them. Hardly, indeed. had the
two whipped into the mouth of the
back-way ere it was choked by a
swarm of pursuers. But-"Niver
fear!" said the voice at his side.
" ''Tis ourselves thatll outwit them.

done more than pass from open night
to the night OF an enclosed space. His
foot caught on some obstruction and
he went to his knees with a cry that
was cross between a sob and a
groan; and incontinently fell full
length upon an earthen floor his head
pillowed on his arm, painting as If his
heart would break.
