HOW TAFT WAS SOUGHT
BY
Tb Manner in Which tha Republi
can Candidate Was Called to a
Larger Sphere of Action.
One afternoon early In 1!MH), when
Judge William H. Taft was dletatlnz
a division of the I'liUed States Court
in the Federal Rnlldlnj; in Cincinnati,
telegram was placed lu his hands.
He tore off the envelope and was sur
prised to find a telegram from Presi
dent William MeKinley, reading:
"I shall take it as a groat favor if you
will call on me some time next week."
Judge Taft guessed at the meaning
of the sumniiins and guessed wrong.
He went to Washington and was shown
into a room at the White House, where
he met the President and Secretary
Long of the Navy. Later, EUhu Root, i
the .Secretary of War, came lu. Then,
to use Mr. Taft's own words:
"Mr. MeKinley said that he wanted to
send me to the Philippines to helo in the
work of establishing civil government as
the army moved on. I thought of my
place on the bench and hesitated. Be
sides, I believed and said we could get
along without the Philippines.
But we have them and must take
care of them,' the President replied.
" 'You are at the turning of the ways
in your life,' Mr. Root then observed
lhe bench is the easy road. You can
stay there and be comfortable. On the
tontrary, the Philippines will demand per
sonal sacrifices and risks and much hard
work, but you will have an opportunity
of doing your country a very great ser
vice. I went holne, and argued the mat
ter for two weeks."
The telegram to Cincinnati opened
the door uf American history to Wil
linm II. Taft and made him the Repub'
Mean candidate for President of the
United States. -
ObliKntimia of Civil War.
Money indebtedness is not the only
obligation we incurred and assumed
in the great civil war. There was a
still greater debt, an everlasting obli
gation that could never be paid in full
But in 'the years that have followed,
the Republican party has Inaugurated
and developed pension laws under
which over three and one-half billion
dollars have been paid to disabled
veterans or to the survivors ef those
who gave their lives for their country
and their flag. This pension system,0 a
product of the policy of the Republican
party, has no precedent in history and
no equal in justice and generosity
among the nations of the earth. Hon.
James S. Sherman.

how hard it ruin rtcry thini; will he

kit Ji any one away from the fair.
.Many jiri.- have Ikh-ii (.tiered by
farmers and breeder of hog-, cattle,
ehceji, turkeys, chi keim, and pigeons.
All of thwe iirics are of first claaa
idock und are well worth winning.
Whiteaide Uro., proprietors of the
moving picture ahow in the liilcy
building, have come forward and
orTered the committee the use of their
large tent for the fair. This tent will
be erected near the V. 0. W. building
and livestock which is offered as prize
will be placed on exhibition in it.
Children living near railroad or
stage lines can place their exhibits on
the trains or stages and send them to
the 8chooI Children's Fair Committee.
Charges will be paid by the commit
tee. Those sending exhibits this way
must be careful to have all exhibit
labeled, so that the committee will
know to whom to send the prizes, and
also what record to make of the art
icles. These labels may be secured by
writing or telephoning to II. C. Sey
mour, at Dallas, who will mail them
at once.
The parade of school children will
take place on Thursday, October 1st,
at 2 p. m., starting from the public
school building north on Maiu street
to the north-west corner of the court
house square, then east one block.
then south to the W. O. W. hall.
A prize of a beautiful globe will be
presented to the school outside of
Dallas having the highest per cent of
children in line. Let every teacher
and child make an earnest endeavor
to have their district well represented
and win the prize.
Several schools which will be in
session during the fair will close for
the day of the parade and will send
their schools in a body to the fair.
Special rates have been procured on
the lines of the Independence fc Mon
mouth Ey. and Salem, Falls City &
Western Ry.
The business men and citizens of
Dallas have donated liberally for a
watermelon feast for the children that
may be in the parade, and after the
parade each and every child who par
ticipates will be banqueted upon
watermelon. Think of it, children, a
ton of watermelons!
A good program has been arranged
for each evening and Stock well's band
of Dallas has been secured, which in
sures that the band music will be of
the best.
It is only a few days now until the
fair and it-is earnestly hoped that ev
ery boy and girl in the county will try
and have something on exhibition.
If you have nothing to exhibit, come
anyway and see what the other boys
and girls are doing, and then get in i
the parade and show that you are
proud to be classed as one of the
school children of Polk county, the
county that does things.
The sword fern, which is one of the
most attractive ornamental bouse
plants, seems to thrive better in those
rooms where the temperature Is most
even and where it Is not exposed to the
direct rays of the sun. Experiments
with a thrifty four-year-old fern of
this variety in the writer's home lead
to the above conclusion.
It is during the rainy weeks of the
spring and fall that the placing of
eave sponts on the feed yard side of
the barn will tend to keep the yard
from miring down and becoming an all
around nuisance. Such an equipment
will also mean more comfort for man
and beast and a more economical han
dling of the barnyard manure because
of less soaking and leaching.
A Paying1 Investment.
Mr. John White, of 38 Highland Ave,
Houlton. Maine, says: "I have been
troubled ith a cough every wiuter
and spring. Last winter I tried many
advertised remedies, but the cough
continued uotit I bought a 50 cent
bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery,
before that was half gone, the congh
was gone. This winter the same happy
result has followed; a few doses once
more banished the annual cough. I
am now convinced that Dr. King's
New Discovery is the best of all cough
and lung remedies." Sold under
