Taft AS Political News Writer;
Washington As Incubator
of BOOmS
By BILL PRICE.

Here's William II. Taft looming up among the Repub-
can Presidential booms writer putting Wood,
Lowden and Harding the leaders for the coming nomina
tion and saying complimentary things about each.
To Washington people who know Mr. Taft well because
OF his long residence here and his personal acquaintance
with many local residents this field he has entered

sidenes than participating in the melee In other words

have to draft him did the Democrats in 1896 when they
nominated distinguished editor and writer who had
just few hours before been sitting among reporters writ
ing the news of that memorable convention.
Most political writers partsans and, therefore,
biased Mr. Taft shows himself partisan by expressing
his belief that the Republican nominee will be our Presi
dent for the succeeding four and also by charging
that the Administration treated General Wood unjusy
evident that the former President will be with and for
his party to the limit this year
Having omitted all reference to the other Republican
Presidential candidates. it is presumed that Mr. Taft has
surveyed the situation and purposey eliminated numerous
favorite His choice is plainly among three The
time has not yet arrived to discuss dark horses Of
which Mr. Taft himself may be although his frankness
and freedom exhibit suspicion that that is not in
store for him.

DIR. Wiley's Food PHILOSOPHERS.

DR.. HARVEY w. WILEY, who is
Just one of the best fellows in the
world, and whose care in diet makes
him at seventy-six years Of age still
a young man, writes me an inter
esting and instructive letter on
mush and other matters, apropos q
recent editorial.
Here are some of his sayings:
I was down at the fish market the
other day where I go for my nsh
and there was q big bunch OF Po-
tomac perch Hopping on the floor that
were not dead yet. just being slowly
smothered in such a human way. I
asked the price. They said. Ten
cents a pound if you take them a.

the big floppers." I bought couple
of pounds of the "run OF the mine"

Bill, to tell how you have seen me

we'll as I, what fine food we have
there and how cheap 1t Is ana yet

torial believe that / had nothing less
than champagne and bird nests.
Every time I am at the club you know
how small my fare In there.
Now about the Civil War matter.
The currency was great deal more
inflated at tho time of the Civil War
than II is now. 1t took $3.50 TO buy
a dollars worth In those days and II
only takes s2.00 to buy dollars
worth now. There is nothing letter
for a newspaper reporter, nor for that
matter, for an editor to eat, than

ARCHBISHOP ON
 VISIT TO JAPAN

Tokio, April 24-Archbishop Petro Fumasoni, who has just arrived in Tokio, has conveyed the Pope's bless ing upon all Catholics here and ex- pressed his high consideration for the Japanese nation. He is the third en- voy sent to this country from the Vatican
 The first was Cardinal OConnell of Boston and the second Archbishop Petrelli who presented to the Emper- or the Popes congratulaton upon his accession to the throne.
 Archbishop F'umasoni will stay about three years in Japan and may remain permanently as Apostoll1 , Delegate if the Japanese government extends to him the recognition ex- tended by civil governments, the Vat jean being willing, it is said, to re- ciprocate by inviting a permanent Japanese representative to the Holy See. A few months ago Captain Yarna rrfo oto was sent to the Pope on an official mission from the Japanese government
 The archbishop comes from India where he held the post of Apostolic Delegate for the past few years. Re fe-ring to the Catholic inhabitants o1 the Carolines and the MariaHnes is- lands who have been without clerg5 since the German missionaries were repatriated, Archbishop F'umason said that these islands are now un- der the jurisdiction of the Arch. bishop of Sydney.

EXPLAINS WHY WOMEN SHOULD
 JOIN A PARTY
Mrs. Edward Bowler Gives Views in "The Woman
 Citizen.'

The Democratic party has always advocated the interests of the com mon people.
 The Republican party has generally believed in the principle that big in , terests of the country should be look ed out for first, and that the great interests of the common people are of secondary importance.
 believe that. the best interests of our country can be Lest served in looking out for the great mass of common people first, and in keeping their interests foremost.
 When the Democratic party came into power eight years ago, it prom ised certain legislation in the interest of the common people generally. The party. headed by President Wilson, kept it's promise, and under his lead ership enacted legislation greatly benefting the masses of the coun- try.
 Among the things accomplished was the Federal Reserve law, which pre- vents financial panics and without which we never could have financed ourselves during the world war. A number of other laws were enacted during the first four years by the Democrats, among which was the eight-hour day law; the income tax and excess profits tax law, which is correct in principle in that it places the burden of taxation on those who are able to pay; the child-1abor law and other legislation in bettering the interests of the working classes and the welfare of the children of the country.
 The Democratic party believes in l fair play for both capital and labor. 1 The future of our country largely de- bends upon fair play to both, and | any party that does not show fairness | to labor as well as capital cannot endure. I believe that the woman of this | country who will consider carefully what each of the two great parties l stand for and the achievements ac- | complished by the present admins l tration in the way of legislation, vii | conclude that the Democratic party represents her thoughts and ideals and that the interests of her home anG children will be best served througI
 the principles represented by th' 1 Democratic party.

BAPTlSTS PLAN
 CONGO MISSIONS

Acting on the reports made by Dr. Catherine L. Mabie. the Northern Baptist Convention has made a liberal provision for the extension of medical work in connection with its missions in the Congo, Africa. The need, ac- cording to Dr. Mabie, who has just returned to Africa after a furlough here, is one of the most pressing in all missionary work
 The natives are the victims of a vicious insect life, an unhealthful climate and of a region in which not the slightest attempt can be made at large scale sanitation. Malaria and the sleeping sickness are two of the most dreaded of the diseases. The natives try to cure them by conjuring and die by the scores
 Several corrugated iron huts have been erected and are used as hos pitals. Natives have been trained to act as nurses.

ROME TROLLEYS
 BOOSTING FARE

Rome, April 23-Carfares in Rome, which were originally two cents and were lately raised to three and then four, it is now decreed, shall now be six cents from eight o'clock in the morning until ten at night, after which they will be eight cents,
 Those who, going to their work be- fore a. m., used to pay one cent, will now pay three for the privilege of hanging to a strap in the over crowded cars. Cabmen have also doubled their prices but, because the cost of pair of shoes or boots now ranges from $25 to $60- it is more economical to ride than to wear out leather.
