He must realise that, holding as he does, the biggest job on tha W estern Hemisphere, many others have their eyes fixed on the same high place and the Interests, which always seek to control the government, are ceaseless in their efforts to place a man favor able to them in the presidental chair. Knowing then the uncertainty o f poli tics and the traditional ingratitude o f republics. President Taft has spoken o f just such s contingency. He spoke directly to the point on this matter when he said: "I am very grateful for the honors the people have given me. I do not affect to deny the satisfaction I should feel, if, after casting up the totals, pro and eon, and striking a balance, they should decide that my first term been fruitful enough o f good to warrant their giving me another. Any would be proud o f such a verdict, but I have not been willing, nor shall I be, to purchase It at a sacrifice of my freedom to do my duty aa I sae it. My happiness is not dependent upon any office and I shall go back to private Ufa with no heartburnings, if the people, after an unprejudiced review o f my adm inistration, conclude that someone else can serve them to their greater advantage. “ The truth la that political consid erations have not weighed heavily with me. I have tried to do la each ease what seamed to me the wisest thing, regardless o f its effect upon my future. Indeed, la more than 01 I have been perfectly conscious whose bad blood would be stirred by som e act o f m ine, or som e refusal to act. The circumstance that torn« persons who haU me after one appli cation o f equal Justice, as a far seeiag, conservative patriot, denounce me af ter the next, as aa unreasoning radi cal, dose not greatly disturb my equanimity. I set that down as all In the day’a work.” TAFT MONEY OFFERED Set •m i JONES A FLAGG CIVIL ENGINEERS flower and Tile Work. Well Digging WILLIAM M.

ACTIVE AGAINST TRUSTS Makes Big President Odde-On Favorite. The wager recently offered in New York of $5090 to $4000. that the pres ident will be re-elected If nominated, seems to show that somebody has con siderable confidence la the return of the president’s administration to pow er. Somebody with $5000 believes that Bill Taft can come beck. Money talks and some o f the en thusiastic hackers o f Mr. La Folletto, Colonel Roosevelt and W oodrow W il son ought to com e to the front and take the short end o f this b e t As a sporting proposition, this la a good bet, even If he loses, but tbe fact that there are r e takers as yet speaks elo quently. Tke east, which necessarily gets s clearer view o f the president aad s more Intimate knowledge o f his work, from being closer to him, is evi dently pretty well satisfied with Pn Ideal Taft aad believed ke will be re elected. Tbe bet will be allowed to stead for some time, It Is reported, waiting for none courageous enemy of tbe administration to oome to tke front wltb hia $400«. President T aft W ants to Know Cause of High Prices. One subject In which the average householder has a vital interest is the high cost o f living, Much has been written and spoken about the ever growing expense o f the American household, but the blame for the con dition which seems to prevail all over the country has not yet been Sxed. President Taft propones to do this, and one o f the most tim ely subjects he has discussed recently is this same problem. President Taft proposes to appoint a com m ission, consisting of experts, to carry on an Investigation as to why food prices are steadily going skyward. The middleman is be ing freely blamed because it seem s to cost more each year to live and many believe the charges w ell founded. President T aft’s proposed commission would ascertain this fact accurately, and the causes mice learned, it is thought the problem could be solved. President Taft him self says o f the plan: “ One legitim ate advantage of such an official Investigation and re port, is the enlightened and informed public opinion, which o f Itself, will often induce or com pel the reform o f unjust conditions or the abatement o f unreasonable demands.” PUZZLED THE JAILERS. G. N. HESGARD Lafayette an« Hia Friends Whiatlad tha Nawa to Ona Anothar. After the battle o f Yorktown the Marquia Lafayette, who did such good service for this country dur ing the Revolution, returned to France and -took a very active part in politico. In 1798 he oppoeed the Jacobins, and when they came into power he was deprived o f hia com mand in the army of the frontier. In company with some o f his gen eral officers he fled to Liege, where all of them were seised by the Aus trians and for a long time impris oned in the castle o f Olmuts, in Moravia. Their life was a very lonely one. Each o f them was kept in solitary confinement, but their apartments were so arranged that they were all within hearing o f one another when standing at the window«. This fact suggested to them a method o f com municating with each other without any outsider being able to under stand the meaning of what they were doing, and the following in genious plan was decided upon and carried out: There were at that time in Paris many popular ballads which were sung at the corners o f the streets and other public places. The words belonging to the tunes were famil iar to everybody, and to strike up a few of the notes was to recall to memory the words that accompa nied them. ' By this means the prisoners suc ceeded In composing for themselves a vocal vocabulary. They whistled certain parts o f the airs at their windows, and in a short time the vocabulary became so complete and comprehensive that two or three notes from each air formed their alphabet. In this way they communicated news to each other about their fam ilies and many other subjects, and when one o f them was fortunate enough to secure a copy o f the Ga zette de France, the Paris newspa per, he whistled the contents of it to his companions in captivity. The commandant of the fortress was told about these mysterious concerts, and he determined that he would find out what tl^fey meant. He spent hours in listening to the STA TIO N ARY GASOLINE ENGINES , President Taft’s Family Juat Plain • People for Generation*. President Taft’s fam ily balk orig inally from Massachusetts, the town o f Uxbridge. Tafts are said to be so thick there that even a woman cannot throw a stone without hitting one. The Tafts held a re-union at Ux bridge In 1974 and descendants of the original Robert T aft flocked there from all parts o f the country. Alpbon- ao Taft, the father of the President, delivered an historical address st this re-union in which he made s som e what remarkable prophecy, all with out being conscious o f It This is what he said, the account being taken from the report o f the re-unlon pub lished st the tim e: “ Our family has not embarked much upon national politlca, except that they have shared la the battles o f the country when National Independence wae to be won and also when the Un ion was at stake. But brilliant politi cal careers have not been character istic o f tbe Tafts o f the past. It Is not safe to any what may be la store for them. There is a tide in the af fairs o f men and also o f fam ilies.'’ Alphonso Taft him self started tke turn o f the tide which he then predict ed. His son William, who was later to have a brilliant career as Secretary of War, and still later as President, was that year entering Yale. The Taft ancestors have been o f mighty good stock. Peter Taft (1715) la reported to have been "a large, good looking man with a magnani mous disposition.” Aaron Taft, another ancestor, was also magnanimous, so much so, that ke lost money by endorsing a friend’s notes. Despite this fact he Is report ed to have been s man of great Intel ligence, se well as Integrity. Going still further back, there wae Captain W illiam Taft who captured Blarney Castle la tbe ldth century. Party Rich In Traditions.

But for the late Sir Joseph Hook er one of the romances o f science probably would have been robbed of its color, for it was he who per suaded Darwin to send in his trea tise on the origin of species to the historic gathering of the Linnean society so that it might be consid ered along with that of Alfred Rus sel Wallace.
