The enduring lame Of the great est traveller in American public life, William Howard Taft, twenty seventh President of the United States and it's tenth Chief Justice, may be ascribed in history to the confidence he radiated, and his ability to inspire in others an ap- preciation of his scrupulous hon. esty of purpose and justness of de- cision in all problems entrusted to his arbitrament.
 Caring nothing for politics, he was not influenced by partisan mo- tives. With an equitable judicial mind, inexhaustible patience and dependable serenity he had the exceptional faculty of impressing upon others the genuineness of his friendly motives and his purpose to help them bear their burdens; to enlighten them whenever possible, and to present the best available solution for their problems.
 Lifc's Dedication
 His life was unselfishly dedicated to the service of his government and like a patriotic soldier, he re- sponded to all demands made upon him by his commander-in-ch chief the President. His real introduce tion to public life came through President Mckinley, of his native state of Ohio, who commissioned him to assist in bringing order out of chaos after the Spanish-Ameri- can war, when the United States found that it had inherited from Spain, along with it's colonial pos sessions in the Pacific, the grave obligation of shaping the destinies of the Asiatic races inhabiting the islands.
 1 By a strange coincidence it was another Ohioan, President Harding who made it possible for him to realize the greatest ambition of his life. MT Taft was the first mar in our history to fill the two great offices of Chief Executive and Chief i Magistrate. Representative in Con- gress frequently have been elected to the Presidency, and President once became a Congressman, but never before had any one served as { the head of the two great admins trative and judicial coordinate branches of the government. In Politics
 MT. Taft was precipitated into politics from law office in Gin. cinnati. Oddly enough both h. and Theodore Roosevelt cam known in Washington public lift about the same time. They frs met when MT. Roosevelt was Civi Service Commissioner and MT. Taf was Solicitor General They weri quickly attracted to each other, anC there began the friendship whici { resulted in the dominating influ ence MT. Roosevelt later exercised over his friends political career,
 MT. Roosevelt generally was cred tied with making MT Taft Presi dent, and most political observer! agree that he unmade him fou years later. Backed by the Roose  welt influence, MT. Taft was elected President in 1908 by the overwhelm, ing majority of 321 electoral vote out sof a total of 488. With th' Roosevelt influence against hin and Colonel Roosevelt himself { candidate on a third party ticke in 1912, MT. Taft received but ; paltry eight votes out of tota of 531.

 DEFENDER OF CUP
Two Weeks Observation Series
 to Choose Leading Yacht

Newport, R. l., July : tP-Four Of the finest racing craft ever launched were to go to the starting line shortly before noon today to compete for the honor of defending the greatest of all yachting trophies. the Americas cup. They were the Whirl~ind, Weetamoe, and Enter prise of New York and the Yankee Of Boston.
 The race was 70 open two week observation series 10 the followed next month by a ten day series. Through the two series the selection committee will decide which boat shall meet Sir Thomas Lipton S Shamrock V next September.
 Enterprise skippered by Harold s, Vanderbilt enters the official oD- servauon races. with the best rec ord. In non- official races off here and Long Island. she led Yankee, Neetamoe and Whirlwind in the or der named in points scored. She is the smallest of the four and the greatest sail carrier, but it is gen. erally believed conditions over the regular cup course, which has been selected for the official trials, will not be quite so advantageous to a light weather boat as has been the shore sailing of the past races.
 The cup course starts nine miles off Brenton's reef lightship and steadier winds and rougher seas are expected than prevailed during last months series inside Block Island
 All four boats entered today's race better found than when last they met. Some radical changes have been made and new gear and canvas are expected to produce better sail ing qualities. Whirlwind has stepped her mast two feet forward and no one knows what 10 expect from her Certainly, as the heavy weather boat of the fleet, she should find the cup course more to her taste than the bay sailing of past contests.
 In the present series the contend CTS will be sailed in pairs Whirl- wind and Weetamoe go over the line first today followed 15 minutes later by Yankee and Enterprise. The course is IS miles to windward and return.
