Every time the pulpit makes n strong Hswttlnn, on nn untei Utility it Cincinnati, 0.,i Sept. 13. William Howard Taft, more popularly known In his home city as "Big Bill" Taft. Is 51 years old today, and observance of ths anniversary In Uils city, while In formal, Is none the less sincere. There U no room for doubt that Mr. Taft is the most popular man in Cincinnati, and this entirely aside from, his fame as the presidential candidate of the republican party. A veritable shower of congratulations from'' friends and admirers in this city and throughout the country Is descending today upon -Mr. Taft and will doubtless serve to broaden the Illuminating snille which he habitually wears. - . "Bill" Taft first saw the light. of day In Cincinnati on September 13, 1857, the son of Judge Alphonso and Louise Torrey Taft. His father,-later United States attorney general and secretary of .war In the ; fablnef . of President Grant, was himself one of Ohio's most, famous sons, and his memory Is ntlll revered by many of Ohlo'n aged citizens ' . Since' Mr. Taft has become Internationally- fanwm hi ' fcr.-iS friends delight in recalling memories of his early, days, and his birthday has brought forth many new versions of the old tales. . ' ' . Cincinnati men who were et Tale with Mr. Taft never tire of recounting his experiences at that famous Insti tution of learning. He was admitted ly the best wrestler In the college atj the time, "for his trmendous"physica!t strength enabled I(hlm to take the or dinary athlete round the waist, pick him up, and let hi mfall, hard or soft as the occasion seemed to demand. He could box like a house afire, and when, he wenf to a dance he danced all night without a sign of fatigue. And then, going to his room,--he would spend the few hours interven ing between that hour and class time In getting up his lessons. He loved play, but he never permitted play to interfere with work. .And. thanks to a wonderful constitution, and such physical strength as has been given to but few, he did more playing and more working than any other man In his class. He never spent any time In training, for he was always In good condition. When he put on the gloves in the gym the man who undertook1 him kneW that even If "Will" Taft looked a bit heavy, he was all hot sand and ginger, plus a liberal amount of steel vire and muscle. He has that muscle yet. , , Through with college, young .Taft vent back to his homo In Cincinnati io prepare to practice, law. But It was required of him that he first earn his living, for Judge Alphonso Taft. his father, was by no means a rich man. Naturally enough, perhaps. Tuft became court reporter tor the old omim-rcial Gazette, then In the hey- uoy of Its glory, and his reports ol ltaln celebrated cuses are still con- Kldered here to be models of journal istic excellence. Incidentally, It mav , ho first trained some men of pres ent day eminence, to stand the llirht if publiicty without blinking, for bl- ult, If It didn't leave a sc.xr, at least Illuminated every story. It was at this time that the one fight of Mr. Tuft's career, of which men tion Is always made, took place. The dltor of one of the scurrilous Sunday morning sheets which at that time In fested many cities of the west, h;id at tacked Judge Alphonso Taft very bit terly. Young Will Taft went to th editor and told him to stop It. May be the editor didn't have William H. Taft labeled as "strictly dangerous handle with rare" In his directory of combustibles. Probnbly he thought young Tuft was Just n lurge, rather well-fed young man, who always looked good-natured, and likely could not be any other way. For the. next week hU paper appeared with a more vicious attack than ever before on Judge Tuft. And that night the editor v.ent to bed with a severe attack of nervous lndigrsttn which had settled In his fuce. Young Taft had given him one grand licking, on the most traveled street In Cincinnati, and at tended wlih every circumstance of glowing publicity.
