Clnclnniitl, Kept. 16. Tin- Joy of
a candidate, no Judge Taft ban found,
are not nil In the wordy HtruKBle of
challenge and counter challenge be
tween rivals for office.
When Mr. Taft wants relaxation
from the cares of tho campaign he
can find It In tho letters of hundreds
of crankH all over the United States,
for whose vagaries the republican
leader Is a target. Tho letters come
on every mall.
"Would you stake a loan of $200
on an utter Btranger and take chan
ces of reimbursement before January
1?" William II. Taft would not, even
thoujfh he Is a candidate for the pres
idency and temperamentally Inclined
to oblige rather than disappoint.
The question was put In a letter
received from a Newark, N. J., wo-j
man. It Is only a fair sample ooleet
ed from hundreds of begging letters
which are found In Mr. Taft's mall.
Most of the applicants for loans or
nld of another character give some
explanation of the need which has led
to the making of application to the
candidate, but the Newark woman
says only: "Needless to add, the ne
cessity Is Indeed pressMng for me to
call on you."
The requests for gifts range from
n horse and wagon or a cow to Jew
dry. Here Is one from a young la
dy In' EI Paso. Tex, who wants a
Yale pin for her collection:
"Pear Sir: Please pardon this bit
of audacity In my wrltinor to you. but
I have taken n great Interest In your
life and affairs since 1 heard of the
candidates for the presidency. Now,
I wlsli a favor at your hands.
Couldn't Hoy Ono.
"I am a young girl In high school
who Is collecting plus. Hut as luck
would not favor mo I have not ob
tained one which I greatly delre
namely, one from Yale. Many girls
buy the pins, but T prefer none If they
cannot tie given to me. for the giver
adds half the pleasure. Now, I ask
you. f not too much trouble, to
break luck's spell and gratify the wish
of a humble friend and send her a
Yale pin. I sincerely hope I may
some day see you as president of the
I'nited States. I should then be ex
tremely proud If you would tie so kind
as to send me a Tale pin."
Mrs. Taft also gets her share of
the applications for nld to churches,
fairs and guilds. "Fend Just a little
thing for the fancy table." Is a fre
quent appeal, and had she time Mrs.
Taft could be as busy as her husband.
The requests to her range from em
broidering a pair of suspenders or
making a rag doll down to straight
and candid applications for cold cnh.
Most of these go Into the Taft office,!
where they are nnswered with those
addressed to the candidate.
Had Mr. Taft granted all the re
quests made to blm to aid poor youths
to an cduiiitbm he would now be able
to dispense with the proposed organ
ization of Taft clubs In universities,
for every university In the country
would have had n personal represen
tative financed by blm
Cripple Sends Kogrcts.
One of the most original requests
comes from a cripple n California,
who says that he goes about In a
wheel chair, and proposes to sell the
advertising privileges of the chair
back to Mr. Taft. This man says:
"I have an Invalid chair which
friends gave me ami go out and "sell
.small stuff of all kinds to help my
self along. Dining election or cam
paign times I have an advertising
board on the back of my chair on
which I place all of the candidates
whom I work and vote for. 1 wish
to place your photo In the center of
my advertising board and ask you to
kindly send latest cut of yourself to
place there. I go all over the coun
try and In the small towns. On Sep
tember 9 I shall be In a town where
there are 100.000 or 12r,00() people,
and by advertisement can be seen by
nil.
"As this Is the only way I have to
help myself along, send what you
think It Is worth."
"p. H. Win we must or bust and
let no teaser come to hush me up."
Prom mi Old Confederate.
This Is a very common type of beg
ging letter. H conies from Virginia
and says: "I nm here to vote (or my
party (republican). I nm now ad
vanced In years nm! was born by n
democratic daddy, served In the rebel

I nm a true republican nnd cast nut
by my comrades. The question has
been asked me: 'How can you vote
tho republican ticket, being a Confed
erate soldier?' My answer Is this:
'I want prosperity.' I am old and
feeble nnd have lost my hearing; can
not work and have not a penny to
spend. I have no clothes or money
to buy. But money could not buy me
to vote for tho damned democratic

play liself, none but tile highest
praise can be given. It Is said to
disclose a fine appreciation of scenic
values and an artistic sense of cor
rectness. The entire production
throughout was newly built in New
York for this season's tour and dis
plays unusual fidelity to artistic
standards. The second act, showing
the Interior of tho "Kajah's" palace,
gives the appearance of architectural
solidity, distance and correct perspec
tive, while the first act Is a benutiful
and rich picture of Orientalism. Ev

tail Is In keeping with the surround
ings The phiy Is costumed with re
markable richness and better still,
the players know how to wear them.
No better example of lighting effects
has ever been employed In spectacu
lar production. The appearance of
the "Chef" in Pendleton will be
awaited with Interest, for although
seen here before, much of its
reputation has preceded it. Hen Je
rome, the composer of 30 "song hits'
of the piece, is a most prolific writer.
The humor of this musical pastime
is fresh and piquant anil never of the

I.lpps has been asked to recommend
the kinds of trees to be grown, says
an Item from I.i wlston,
The forestry bureau Is responsible
for this innovation, but the wnr.k will
be done by the Indian department,
t: n ! r the direction of forestry experts
and the young trees will be furnished
by the forestry bureau.
In order to select the trees best
adapted to this climate, Mr. I.lpps has
written, to the state horticulturists for
an opinion an. I the selection will be
made after this report has been made
A small acreage will be set out first
and the "home-made" forest will be
added to year by year until the steep
hillsldis of the government farm at
Fort Iipwal are clothed In a cultiva
ted fof.St.
The innovation is attempted pri
marily as an object lesson to the citi
zens of the state to show them the ne
cessity of and the value to be de
rived from reforest ration. That the
n foi-estr.itioti will add to the water
supply is conceded.

the barren hillsldi.s and In summer

Is believed tli.it evaporation will

It Is probable that the first trees

TEACH POST SPISV1CE
IX SCHOOLS OP NATION
Washington, Sept. 15. Postmaster
tieneral Meyer lias made an order
that promises beneficlent results. The
postmasters of the country have been
directed to confer with their local
school authorities as to the practica
bility and desirability of delivering
to the school children short talks on
the postal service. The design Is to In
form the pupils of the scope of its
operations', the methods of delivering
the mails, classiflcatin of mail matter
and registry and money-order sys
terns. Incidentally they are to make
known plans for betterment, such as
the establishment of postal savings
banks and the extension of the par-i
ftis ost, Wherever It may be im-j
practicable for postmasters to dcliv-j
er the lectures they are to furnish the
necessary information to the school
supervisors, so as to equip the reg-
ular teachers. It is the postmaster-!
general's expectation that the school
children will be useful to the postal;
service in seeing that letters are,
properly and plainly addressed.
That there Is necessity for action
of the kind Is shown by the volume
of business transuded by the dead
letter office. During the last year.
13,1 4... Z pieces of mail matter were
sent there, because the postoffices
were unable tu read them.
