WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT

Inc country loved William Howard Taft. and there
is genuine feeling of sorrow a1nonp All Americans t5t
DIS activities on this plane have ended His had a
equa III our history He enjoyed the unparalleled die
ncon OF having held the two highest offices IN the off
OF the people. @ So
Though his defeat for reelection to the presidency
LII Iylz was as overwhelming as ever administered to
candldae Tor that position it cannot be said that # rn
Iected feeng against him personally For then as now
the people We're deeply attached to him. He left the White
House with the personal good will of the entire nation
How, then is one to account for the anamoy of non
uar man being beaten decsvey? The answer that
Mr TAFT was not politician, he did not understand the
trick OF popuarzng his political views and in 1912 he
was ptted against two men who past masters in the
art OF propaganda Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson. "a ~ >'io'
There is little doubt but that Taft would have LOST in
9z even II the republican party had not been split by the
progressive movement but it is probable that his SHOWING
would have been much better than it was
Mr. 1aft became professor of law in Yale univer-
sty, his alma mater, on leaving the White House He1
was back again in favore vocation His fe's ambition
was satisfied when President Harding appointed him
chief Justice in 1921.
10 That Office he brought wide knowledge of the
methods and processes Of the federal courts and in it he
perhaps more than any other chief Justice interested him
self in simplifying the operations of justice cutting red
tape, clearing overaden calendars encouraging eXped
ton and efficiency and raising the standards for anDon
ment to the federal bench
Mr.. Taft will be remembered for his career as an IN
selfish citizen model judge and statesman beyond re-
proach. He spread good cheer wherever he was He
was never bitter even against those who did him an nls
tice Truly, his character deserves emulation.

Answer TO Problem No. II

There are no trumps and Z is in the
lead. How can Y Z win seven of the
eight tricks against any defense2
Solution: At trick one, 2 should lead
the jack of clubs and A is thus forced
in the lead with the queen of clubs. At
trick two, A can lead back club (al or
the queen of diamonds (b) or the four
of diamonds (cl
These possibilities lead to three diff
ferent solutions, which will be con-
sidered separately:
(a) Suppose at trick two A leads the
seven of clubs. Y should discard the
Gcuce of spades. B the FIVE of spades
and z should win the trick with the ace
of clubs. At trick three, z should lead
the nine Of diamonds.
A has the choice of playing a low
diamond or the ten. If he plays low
diamond, Y should play the eight. If
he plays the ten, Y should play the
jack. In either case, B is forced to dis
card the six. of spades. At trick four Y
should lead a low spade if A played the
ten of diamonds at trick three. II A
played low diamond at trick three,
z should lead the king Of spades at
i. trick four. so the result is the same in
etttes case, On the king Of spades, A
can safely discard the eight of clubs.
at trick FIVE, Q should lead the seven
of diamonds and Y will thus win this
trick and trick six with the ace and
eight or the ace and lack, according as
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1930-03-13

A played the ten or low diamond at
trick three. s,.a lis
B is thus forced to make two dis.
cards. On trick five he can discard the
eight of spades, but what discard can
he make on trick sikh If he diseards the
queen of spades, VS. four of spades and
rs jack of hearts will win tricks seven
and eight. If B discards the nine of
hearts, rs jack and FIVE OF, hearts will
win tricks seven and eight for on trick
six, z has discarded the trey of clubs.
In either case, therefore, Y z must win
seven of the eight tricks.
(b) Suppose at trick two A should
lead the four of diamonds. Y should
play the eight, B should discard the
five of spades and e, should win the
trick with the nine. of diamonds.
should then lead the ace of clubs and
the king of spades TO tricks three and
four. At trick five he should lead the
seven of diamonds and the play then
follows as in (a).E 's'
(c) Suppose atetrick two, A should
lead the queen of diamonds. Y should
win this trick with the ace and z
should be careful. to play the nine Of
diamonds. Y should then lead a spade,
thus winning the third trick in rs
hand. At trick four z should lead the
ace of clubs, At trick FIVE, z should lead
the seven of diamonds and the play
follows as in (a). Inevery case, there
fore, Y z must win seven Of the eight
| tricks.

ARTICLE No. %

Absent minded Bridge players are
no rarity. The most extraordinary
things happen at the card table, things
which are not even contemplated by
the laws and for which there can be no
legislation. | know case where a
whole rubber was PLAYED with pack
four cards short. As the deal came
right no one noticed the irreguiarity
until the rubber was over. Not a s,agle
player troubled TO count his cards. But
how the shortage could escape atten-
ton in even single hand is wonderful.
Another authentic incident is of an
absent-minded player who dealt. five
times in succession. The other PLAYERS
were so busy discussing the hands that
his lapse was not noticed. Occasions are
quite numerous where players pick up
cards from the pack not In use or where
they play two cards to a trick or gather
and turn trick which does not belong
to them
From a reader comes singular case
of Observation-Disclosures. THE cards we're
not properly dealt out, the hands not
being in front of the respective PLAYERS,
with the result that A picked up VS.
hand. Owing to Y being busy with the
score, the mistake was not noticed until
A had looked at the cards he had
picked up. z, the dealer, then de-
manded that Us proper cards (al-
though A had seen them should be
handed to Y, and that the game should
proceed as usual. There would seem to
be no objection to that course being
taken, as z and Y only we're under
disadvantage through one of their
hands having been seen by one of the
opponents. During the discussion be-
tween 2 and A, however. Y suddenly
said, oh, all right. I'll have these cards
instead, and picked up AS proper
hand. which. nobody had yet seen, and
looked at it. A then refused to PLAY the:
hand on the ground that Y had seen
his cards. and the hand was eventually
abandoned aud a fresh deal made"

WASHINGTON, Mar. s, Especial
to the News President Hoover has
already requested Congress to appro-
pirate the 100000, authorized by
the federal seed loan law which he
has Just signed, and arrangements
probably will be made Immediately to
distribute the loans, according to in
formation received today by Con-
gresham Scott Leavitt.
The appropriation will be distribute
ed among Is states, and Montana will
come in for its needs. As soon as
the appropriation for the loan is made
it is proposed to establish an office at
some central point in the northwest,
probably Grand Forks, from which
applications will be handled for far
mers of Montana, North Dakota, and
Minnesota. This procedure will be
worked out, Congressman Leavitt is
advised, through the establishment Of
smaller local committees, which will
make accommodations of applica-
tions. In this connection county ag-
ricultural agents will be asked to sug-
gest the personnel for the various
local committees.

DEFENSE
GENEVA CRUX
Limitations OF Armaments
Compromise Argued
By Nations

GENEVA, Nov. 12-R-The FORM
liable character Of the problem OF
limiting land val materials was
emphasized today when wide Dill
ferences of opinion arose among the
delegates TO the preparatory dis
armament commission.
These differences appeared TO de-
crease the prospects of reaching
an agreement on this important IS
sue and the drafting of a general
disarmament treaty.
The American proposal for a
compromise which would leave the
United States free to employ her
own method Of direct limitation
while permitting others to use the
budgetary system was discouraged
by Japan but supported in some
degree by France. Belgium and
Norway.
The debate disclosed that Japan,
on n extreme. wanted neither
direct nor budgetary limitation:
Russia, at the other extreme, want
ed a combination of both. while the
other states divided on approval OF
both solutions.
The French delegate. Count Mas
sigh, defended the French proposal
for b~udgetary limitation, contending
that this was the only practicable
method Of establishing a maximum
limit for land ornaments. The
American proposal, advanced by
Ambassador Hugh S. Gibson. he re-
garded as impracticable.
Direct limitation, the Frenchman
said. would be effective only in
countries where the national de-
Tense is openly discussed. The bud
getary method. he confessed. is not
perfect. but remains. in his opin-
ion, the best available method.
