MR.rAFI AMI the PRESIDENCY.

The effort TO bring Mr., Taft out for
nomination has no force. OF course II
is pleasing to Mr.. Taft and may have
its effect on other candidates but Mr..
Taft is not a serious consideration for
the republican nomination.
Mr.. TAFT had a great opportunity as
the friend and legatee of Theodore
Roosevelt and as president of the
United States. Judged by the verdict
of the voters he failed miserably to live
up to the expectations and require
ments of those who elected him by
their votes. He was unable to make
a showing in the campaign for reelec-
ton and was as the hOrseman would
say "distanced."
With such overwhelming defeat
oversha downing any possible candidacy
for the presidency Mr.. Taft and his
following may have in mind there is
no opportunity for Mr.. Taft ahead and
nothing but defeat for his party if by
any chance it might be manipulated to
nominate him. There are other reasons
plentiful as btackberries why Mr. Taft
should not be nominated or considered
for the nomination unless in a compli-
mentary way. but the one reason IS
enough. No man can suffer such de-
feat as that accorded Mr.. Taft and
survive as a candidate.

THE FEMININE BACK.
TC;or~ City Journal

The Cedar Rapids Republican, which
gives some heed to changing feminine
fashions. comments severely upon the
display of bare backs permitted by the
prevailing styles. The Journal Is I'M
able to deny that very liberal we"
Of the back unadorned is allowed by
the fashionable gown OF the moment.
The feminine back, indeed, to say notn-
ing Of other exposures, Is obtruded
upon the view Of even those males who
are not particularly Interested In the
study of feminine anatomy In such
manner as to be unavoidable. mas
much as women have undertaken to
expose their backs so frankly. the nat
ural superstition is that they expect or
desire men to inspect them. The Jour-
nal is bound to say, after an inspection
Of such backs as have come within the
range Of its vision, that it agrees with
its Cedar Rapids contemporary In the
conclusion that there is not a great
deal in the display Of the bare backs
Of women alluring to the male eye. We
have revealed to us. as the Republican
points out, backs of all kinds. and
many of them are hardly worth pass
ing glance. There are fat backs. mus
cled backs, and some other kinds. Oc-
casionally ones sees lovely back. But
even liberal applications Of rice pow
der fail to conceal the defects which
are so apparent in those which are I'M
lovely.
The Cedar Rapids paper asserts
that women misjudge men IL they i'm
agine that men care for such exhibit
tions Of bare flesh, and the Journal
suspects that this Is true. Beyond a
certain limit, exposure Of the flesh is
likely to become indecent and sug-
gestive and to repel rather than to al
lure The masculine mind never
ceases to wonder why women choose
to make such generous exposures OF
their person In public places. The dress
of today seems made more to reveal
than to conceal. The mania for ex-
posture seems to possess the feminine
mind Of all ages, young girls In Their
teens and mature women alike. How
sorry men feel particularly for the lit.

The returned soldiers are dead right

rights are established. The man who
didn't serve in the army and will not
support his country by buying its
bonds to the extent Of his fair proper

The old Auburn spirit was seldom evidenced and Towards game lines men at times outfought their feeble opponents, especially the two guards and the center, who. though out weighed nearly 10 pounds each, stopped practically every Auburn rush in the first three quarters.
 The individual star of the game however. was "Peahead" Walker. How ards 110-pound quarterback, who ex- hibited qualities of leadership that would have done credit to a far more aged general Walker broke his nose in the first down and was taken out of the game. but refused to remain on the sidelines and came back in the third quarter, showing burst of speed and coolness in the execution or plays that won for him the admlra- ton of 5000 rabid rooters.
 It was not so much a case of Al- burn being below par as it was cf Howard being stronger than usual. Coach Dillon has welded together a fighting machine that will give any team it's weight q terrible battle.

 It was Auburn's ball in midfield. On the first play Howard, the Tiger halfback tore around left end for 10 wards, being hailed down from behind his own seven-yard line.

While the Birmingham eleven put up
 brave fight they were forced to take the
 defensive from the start, and were never
 able to seriously threaten the Crimson
 goal line. The Methodist line made creditable showing. put the backheld showed lack of speed and team work Gillian at right half for the visitors did much to check the mad onrush of the Crimson machine
 The game began with O'Conner kicking off for Alabama The Partners were held for downs. With the ball in Alabama s possession, Lenoir ran around the end for a touchdown in the first five min utes of play Boone failed to kick goal. The ball was in the hands of the locals most of the time for the remainder of the quarter, but the score at the end or that time was to o.
 The second quarter began with O'Con- ner making a long kick under the goal post. Birmingham had the ball on the Crimson 20-yard line and punted out or danger Alabama took the pigskin and with a series of line bucks and end runs by Stevenson, O'Conner and Lenoir, the second touchdown was made by Lenoir- Boone kicked goal leaving the score Is l to at the end of the first half.
