vance and had reached McDougall
street, which is half way down the
slope, when a touring car operated by
Benjamin Franklin Conner of No. 10
Barbery street, came from the east and
cut though the group like knife.
The lads who were not run down
were tossed in the air and flung in all
directions. They fell uncons cious on
the pavement that minute before had
been their playground. Some landed
against curb stones. Patrolman Sta
tise, one of the first on the scene, sent
the calls to the three hospitals.
The street was then almost covered
with the unconscious forms of the
victims. Many were groaning. Connor
made no effort to try to get away The
four men friends VINO were with him
alighted and helped care for the injured.
Connor said his father owned the
machine. He said he is a student at
the Columbia School of Mines and eX-

WHAT THE PRESIDENT
THINKS OF HIS JOB

THE man who has the biggest job in the
world tells what he thinks about it in
our next SUNDAY MAGAZINE When the job
is measured by the power that goes with it and
the amount OF money back Of il, there isn't any
other within hailing distance of it.
James Hay, Jr., asked President Taft what
he thought OF his job, and President Taft told
him with frankness and simplicity that al
most took away the intervicwcr's breath.
There has been a tradition that the chief ex-
ecutivc Of the nation should not be interviewed.
He IS supposed not to talk with newspaper men
for publication. OF course, nearly every Prcsi-
dent has done that, but when the information
appears in print the President is always de-
tached from it. This is supposed to help main
tain the dignity of the Office
President Taft says some mighty interesting
things in this interview for our SUNDAY MAGA-
ZINE. To begin with, one Of the most striking
things is the impcrsonal way in which he looks
at his job, and the resulting accuracy with
which he can measure it.
One of his most important utterances is
about the appointing OF people to ofice-pat-
ronage. as we call it. He seems to think that
is one of the greatest drawbacks Of the job,
and he tells why plainly enough.
lNCTc are never 50 many OIlCr lFODIc1NS
President Taft talks about, and what he says
is highly illuminating. In a way he opens a
door disclosing things YOU have heard about
but never have seen. 4 good part OF the time
YOU viii wonder why any man, knowing what
the job is, should want it. President Taft
doesn't leave You in doubt upon that point,
because, as he says, any man with red blood
in his veins enjoys his work, and the opportu-
mites of the President are almost as limitcss
as the work itself.
OF course, there isn't suggestion about
partisanshp in this article, but YOU will find
with a little study that it contains much that
is significant in these campaign days. No mat
ter whether YOU are a follower or an opponent
Of Mr. Taft, YOU viii enjoy it equally. You
will learn some things about him YOU prob
ably did not know before, and YOU will be in
tcrcstcd from the very start. Also YOU will be
surprised 20 learn what Mr.. Taft considers his
most important work since he became Prcsi-
dent
