Florida Is Court
Decision in Case

Tallahassee. Fla. May 14.-In deny
ing an application to Gust Daniel T.
Grow from the Craftsmanship of the
Republican state executive committee
the supreme court held that inasmuch
as in the last election the Republican
party in Florida polled less than five
per cent of the total vote it is not rec
ognized as a party under the laws of
this state.
The laws require that a party. in or
der to hold a primary must have
polled not less than five per cent of
the total vote in the previous state
election. Therefore. the court held,
the organization has no standing in
the eyes of the law as a political party.

reduction in the acreage planted to
potatoes and a 20 per cent falling off
in areas devoted to beans were indi-
Gated for this season, in reports to the
United States bureau of markets.
High prices for potato seed and the
shortage of farm labor were given as
the principal reasons for the reduc-
ton in potato planting, while the IN
satisfactory market for beans caused
a smaller acreage planted to that crop.

Conditions in Mexico
Improve, Friends Hear

Political, religious and educational
conditions in Mexico are gradually i'm
proving, said DR.. John Rowland, head
of the United Evangelical Seminary
in Mexico City, in q letter to Ross A.
Hadley, general secretary OF the
Friends Foreign Mission board, here.
"Mexico probably will make mis-
takes, and there may be future compli-
cations, but what country is lnfal-
lible?" he asks.
The Friends church is cooperating
in maintaining Union Seminary. Mr..
Hadley said it had proved successful
mission institution.
Or Rowland has worked wonders,
he said. He himself is a COngrega'
tionalist, but his seminary work has
proved the fallacy Of each church try
ing to work individually. During his
80 years in Mexico City, he has gather
ed a capable corps of instructors. The
Friends are supporting boy who is
studying for the ministry.

Zachary Taylor was the first army
man to be president the second and
only other being General Grant. A
dozen presidents, from Washington to
Roosevelt, had seen war service, but
only as citizen soldiers.
By birth, Taylor is one of the eight
Presidential sons of the Mother of
Presidents More properly he belongs
not to the Virginia group, but with the
group of frontier presidents. For in
his infancy he was taken by his family
out to Kentucky, where he grew up in
a log cabin, with no other schooling
than that received from wandering
Yankee schOolmaster.
At twenty-three he entered the
army as a lieutenant, and he remained
in it forty years, Yet he had seen
only little fighting with the Indians
before his campaign in Mexico, where
he commanded perhaps not more than
5000 men and fought half dozen en-
gagements, ranging from the opening
skirmish at Palo Alto to the battle of
Buena Vista. In this last, his little
army of raw troops was outnumbered
four to one. But he spurned Santa
Annals demand for his surrender, and,
with a little more grape" from Cap
tain Bragg's battery, he defeated the
MeXtcanS.
The commanders in the two Mexi-
can campaigns, Zachary Taylor and
Winfield Scott, were as unlike as their
popular nicknames would Indicate
"Old Rough and Ready and "Old
Fuss and Feathers" old Rough and
Ready remained throughout his army
service a simple American soldier, a
capable officer in peace and re-
sourceful one in war.
Obedient always to the civil author
tiles, he retained truly American dis

. ners.

Miss NJ. Carey Thomas took a leave
Of absence to tour the world Before
! that she was for two years dean of
the Pennsylvania institution.
She entered Bryn Mawr in 1908, the
year her father was elected to the
presidency, and received her deggce
in 1915. She received a degree ~in
history from Yale in 1917. and then
returned 10 f}ryn Mawr as dean.
While her father was president, Miss
| Taft was much more active as host
ess at the White House than her
mother. For all her intellectually.
she was a gracious. lively, hkeable
young woman. fond of the modern
dance, of horseback riding. tennis and
other outdoor sports. She made many
trips to various parts Of the country
with her father, and made friends in
all sections.
Upon her return to Bryn Mawr she
was anything but the severe, high
brow" professor She was deeply in
terested in the farm which the college
established, and was farmerette her
self. The students always have been
extremely fond of her.
Miss Taft has made deep study
Of economics, as We'll as history, and
has written much on both subjects.
She has been an ardent worker for

active in trying 10 abolish sweatshOps

! in il only once in the Mexican War,
where he fought generally in the same
clothes that he wore on his Louisiana
farm.
He was as plain in his private life
and with a wife as unaffected as him
self. This devoted companion made
her home with him in military stock
AIDES and tents, sending her children
as they came along back to the care Of
relatives, but refusing to be parted
from her husband.
When the second daughter was
taken a willing captive by another
Kentuckian, Lieutenant Jefferson
Davis, Taylor was furious with the
clipping girl and scornful of her hus-
band, whom he vowed he would not
touch with a pair of tongs." In a
few months the young wife died I'M
forgiven. After years of estrange-
ment, the disowned son-in-law found
himself a colonel in Mexico under his
| implacable father-in-law There he
prudently kept out Of the old mans
way, until his reckless daring and
brilliant success at Buena Vista
melted the General to tears, and they
clasped hands on the battlefield.

| shocked at the first proposal that he
should be President. He frankly de-
J clared himself untitled for its duties
, and unworthy of its honors. stop
your nonsense and drink your whisky"
he Is said to have exclaimed with i'm
patience when an oratorical visitor
to his tent ventured to toast him as
the next President. Mrs. Taylor
agreed with her husband, preferring
the artless pleasures of their own fire
side Qncluding her corcob pipe) to the
| formalities of the White House.
| Like every man who has heard the
seductive suggestion of his name for
presidency, Taylor was not long in
yielding to it. Revising his own poor
| opinion of his qualifications in the
light of their higher appraisal by
others, he came to regard himself as
the peoples candidate and he an
nounced that he would run as such
even if no party should nominate him.
The party preference of the old sol
der was in doubt. with no other clue
to it, except his brothers illuminating
remark that Zachary liked Henry Clay
and American-made clothes. The
Wings nominated him without know
ing where he stood on any question
and they made no platform for him to
stand on. 1t was a merry game with

at problems that confronted

the nation.
After they had nominated Taylor,
the Wings became fearful fora, time
that the joke was on them. While
they waited and no word came~from
their nominee at Baton Rouge, they
took alarm lest he would not accept
the honor from their party. But he
had not received their letter of mott
fication. For they had neglected to
prepay the postage on 1t, and "Old
Rough and Ready" was refusing to re-
ceive all unpaid mail.
