Poor Men and OPPORTUNITIES.

William II. Taft is the son Of a
Judge and for large part of his life
was himself a judge. His parents were
able to educate him, but they were
not rich Mr.. Taft in his early life
worked as a newspaper reporter Hon
seldom accumulate fortunes. When
worth more than five thousand dol
lars. He will retire from the office as
poor man though his reputation as
his public career will probably en-
able him to ma 80, lucrative connec-
tions as a lawyer. But Mr.. Taft will
have to go to worhs-just as any
common mapssSaust find another job
when he has lost one.
Governor Wilson is the son of q
Presbyterian minister His parents,
doubtless by strict economy and self
denial, were able to give him excellent
school and college advantages. After
graduating from princeton and from
the law department of the University
Of Virginia, Mr.. Wilson, in little
while, entered upon a career Of teach
ing. There Is no money in teaching
at best, a fair livelihood may be ex-
pected from it. A professor or presi-
dent of Princeton University must be
MIR. Taft was elected President he was
content to live comfortably and pay
the premiums on his life insurance
policies unless he Is willing to live In
poor man. 1t is said that he was not
niggardly manner
without any actual information as
to his financial condition, we believe
it safe to say that Governor Wilson
will go into the White House wholly
dependent on his salary. Presidents
do not save from their salaries and
Mr.. Wilson will return to private life,
some day, poor man.
From the careers Of these two men
two encouraging lessons may be
drawn. One Is that even in these
times, when milllonaires, in parts Of
tracks and not especially uncommon
anywhere, a poor man may be elected
TO the highest office In the country.
The other Is that young man with a
first rate education need set no limit
to his honorable ambition. The self
made man." without college educa-
ton, may become President Of the
United States, but the examples Of
Taft and Wilson 90 far to prove that
university training counts in any con-
test or struggle
In contrast with these, Colonel
Roosevelt is perhaps the one man In
the history of our country who has at
tanned to the presidency and who was
born wealthy--so wealthy that never
in his life was he compelled to work
for himself or his family. The moral
in his case seems to be that even a
rich man may get square deal" In
this land Of opportunity.

sort of advice and released u real
winner to make Hal Chase manager.
1t being foregone conclusion that
the player. who had jumped one con-
tract at that time and has since
jumped another, could not possibly
make good.
In 1911 and 1912 Stallings was
back in Buffalo. but he was determ-
ined to win q Dennant in the big
league before he retired and at the
close of the 1912 season he formed
an alliance with James Gaffney for
the purchase of the Boston National
league club. of which he became part
owner and manager last spring.
Though handed over a tail-endcr
which had been trailing In the lea que
race for several seasons, Stallings
went to work with his indomita BILE
force of character to build up win
ming team. He landed the Braves
Mt the head of the second division
last season. which was two or three
points higher than they had been ex-
pected to finish.
During the winter Stallings made
an expensive deal for Johnny Evers,
who had been released without warn
ing by the Chicago club. Taking ad-
vantage of this circumstance, and
being heartily backed in his iudg-
ment by President Gaffney, he se-
cured Evers at high figure and thus
made his team contender After
ha had ctunnH .J1
a few intimate friends that he
thought his team had good chance
to win the National league pennant,
an opinion in which he stood almost
alone
The Braves started out this seas
on very poorly. Their pitching was
excellent, but they would not hit or
run bases with any degree of success,
and lost game after game by close
scores. Stallings had lot of ex-
oerimenting to do. especially at third
base and in the outfield He kept
away, and early in July he
was ready to make his forward dash.
In just two days over three weeks his
team rose from last place to second
position. and since then he has kept
right on going. Week before last
the Braves invaded the Polo grounds
six games and half behind the
Giants, and took three straight
games, cutting the New York lead
in two! They have been keeping the
work UP since coming west. All the
beating out the Giants. If they sue
ceed in doing SO it will be one of the
most remarkable feats in baseball
history and a tremendous credit to
Manager Stallings. one of the smart
est and most competent leaders the
sport has ever produced.

SPENDING TWENTY

I'm GAME u

George Stallings, manager of the
Boston Braves, and the most talked
OF pilot in the baseball world at
present is veteran OF the game,
this being his twenty-eisht year in
the professional ranks.
He began as player back In the
middle SOS and his first important
engagement was with the Philadel-
phia Nationals in 1887. He was an
outfielder, but only fair player,
dividing his time in 1888 between
Galveston. Texas. and Stockton. Cali

the Oakland club, and the following g
stason with Brooklyn, when they
won the championship in 1890. In
1891 and 1892 he was back In Cali

ciusively on championship teams. His

the 'pennant Since that time he has
been manager. and most success

year he had charge Of the Nashville
team in the Southern league, and in
1896 he managed the Detroit club in
the old Western lea que, and ran sec
ond with 1t. The next two years
found him back in the main show as
manager OF the Philadelphia team.
with which he was not very success
ifIl. owing to interference from the
officials of the club. Then he went
back to Detroit for three years.
In 1901 Stallings got into row
with President Johnson, of the new
born American league, and was
barred from that organization for a
time. In 1902 he began a term Of
five years as manager of the Buffalo
team Of the Eastern league. where he
won two pennants. finished second
twice and fourth once, never being
out of the first division in five
years.
In 1907 he was sick and out of
the game. this being the only year
he has missed in the last 2S. That
fall stallings applied for the position
as manager Of the Reds, offering to
go to Cincinnati for small salary
and take a chance of making good.
but he was turned down b. the Red
officials owing to the opposition of
Ban johnson and zone or two other
MA gnates. Turned down by the
Cincinnati~elu he went~to Newark
for that season. and then was taken
on by the New York Americans for
the next two years. He ran fifth

Outing hats are usually pressed

They are trimmed with wings or feath-
