and Mrs. Jones reside on what is To-
| cally called a ranchito. little ranch.
where they raise on their own land
everything needed for a happy exist

dies. and perhaps tea and Gomez;
from beets and has not yet climbed to
the appalling prices of the east. On
every ranchito is a tract of grain and
a grist mill is within short ride:
Thus Mrs. Jones has her three and
\ four barrels of flour to add each au-
| tumn to her stores of dried and pre-
served vegetables and fruits. and
\ many fat we'll packed sack OF meal.
| There is no apartment OF her COM
| Portable and artistic home more de-
| lightful than the Kitchen and It's
gallery all around. where bright req
/ peppers in long strings hang from the
| rafters and garlics and onions plalted
\ most artistically by the indian maius
are draped between and huge nrll-
| liant bowls of eathenware hold appies
| and green peppers and look more IKE

pairing food.
Unless the unthinkable happens
| Ohio is going to be the mother OF an
other President, politically and ac-
| tual1y. since both standard bearers are
| natives of the Buckeye state ana
have never yielded allegiance to any
other commonwealth. In the case OF
Gov. Cox, he has a name which has
| figured more frequently as the hrst
of Presidents than any other. for
Ave chief magistrates have borne the
name of James. beginning with the
two Jameses of early days. Madison
and Monroe, to James K. Poke, James
Buchanan and James g. Garneio.
Three Johns have occupied the execu-
tive chair of the nation, the Adamses
and John Tyler. three Williams, the
first Harrison. the lamented Mckln-
~ and Taft. and two Andrews, JACK
son and Johnson. After these, the
names scatter over all sorts. one
apiece. If historians are entirely &C
curate they will mention two
Thomases. the sage of Monticelo ana
the present incumbent. All the early
and he appears on the rolls of col
lege as Thomas Woodrow. Likewise
the boyhood chums of the late Grover
Cleveland dubbed him steve, so tnat
the accurate historian must RECORD
the first democratic executive after
the civil war as Stephen Grover in
stead of the mystic one name to which
he chung in mature years. Gov. cox
nomination serves to call attention
to the fact that of all public service,
the gubernatorial chair has oftener
been the vehicle of promotion to the
dents since Cleveland. except MT
Taft, owed their choice as standard
bearer to the success displayed in
governing their states. and there Is a
stable list before Cleveland's cleo
ton. Mr.. Harding is the first senator
in recent years selected for the lead
ership, though9both Garfield and Har-
rison, like him, had served in the
House and had been elected to the
Senate, though they had not taken
their seats in the upper chamber.
Five illustrious warriors were Sc
lected to govern the nation, WASH
ington, Jackson, William Henry Har-
rison, Zachary Taylor and ulysses
Grant. Lincoln is listed among those
who won national celebrity in the
lower house. It is interesting to note
that two men associated in the pub
lie mind with cabinet posts failed 70
win the democratic nomination and
that William Howard Taft is the only
Secretary of War who ever became
President, and one of the few nomi-
mated while serving in the presiden-
tial council: No less than six Presi-
dents were Secretaries OF State, JET
ferson, Madison. Monroe. John Quincy
Adams. Van Buren, and Buchanan. and
Mr. Monroe acted for few months
as Secretary of War ad interim. But
other service had lapsed between.

into the presidency. Not intending to
arouse the, fears Of the superst1tious,
Franklin Roosevelt, Mr.. Cox's running
mate, is filing the identical role
which. his i1lustrious kirisman, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, filled prior to the
Spanish-American war.
