V. ,- not aafe to any what may be In store for tbem. There la a tide In the af fair of men and also of families." Alphonso Taft himself started the turu ot tho tide which he then predict ed. Ills son William, who waa later to have a brilliant career aa Secretary of War, and still later aa President, waa that year entering Yale. The Taft ancestors have been of mighty good stock. Peter Taft (1715) la reported to have been "a large, good looking man with n mngnanl mous disposition." Aaron Taft, another ancestor, was also magnanimous, so much ao, that ho lost money by endorsing a friend's notes. Dcsplto thla fact be la report ed to bavo been n man of great Intel ligence, aa well as Integrity, doing still further back. Jhero waa Captain William Taft who captured Dlarney Castlo In the ICth century. ' Uut the fact Is, that President Tafl haa done more In fighting the trusta than any other president in the his tory or ine country. A number or the biggest monopolies have been dis solved by prosecutions at the direc tion ot President Taft, notably the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trusts. During the three yeara in o.TJce, there have been instituted under the Bherman Anti-Trust Act, thirty-seven prosecutions of Illegal combinations of capital. A number ot theso have already been successful and the poo plo may look for the favorable con clusion of many others. Thla la n re cord that throwa In the shade tho performances ot any other president, although It covers but three years President Hoosevelt wna quite active In righting the 'rusts, yet in his seven years in office, from 1901 to 1908, ho caused but forty-four suits to be brought agnlnst tho trusts.

One subject In which the average householder haa a vital Interest Is I the high cost of living. Much has been written and spoken about tho ever growing expanse ot the American household, but the blame for the con dition which seoma to prevail all over the country haa not yet been fixed. President Taft proposes to do thla, and one of the most timely subjects he haa discussed recently la thla same problem. President Taft propoaea to appoint a commission, consisting ot experts, to carry on an Investigation aa to why food prtcea aro steadily going skyward. The middleman la be ing freely blamed because It seems to cost more each year to live and many bsllavo tho chargea well founded. President Taft's proposed commission would ascertain thla fact accurately, and the causes once learned, It Is thought the problem could bo solved. President Taft himself saya ot the plant "One Itgltlmato advantage ot such an official Investigation and re port, la the enlightened and Informed publlo opinion, which of itsolf, will often Induce or compel the reform of unjust conditions or the abatement ot unreasonable demands." Party Rich In Traditions. The Republican party la not only rich in men, but rich in practical and beneficial principles. It Is rich, too. In Ita record of promises performed and pledgee fulfilled, and ao we aro for party and party principles first and acquiesce in tho choice ot tha majority, rallying around tho standard boarer, who will carry ua again'' to victory.

A Paying Dostntss In England That Thrives Upon 8nobbry. Tho most tragic form of snobbery In a country place Li that which concerns Itself with tho tracing of a pedigree. In my travels 1 csme upon a man who ronfeaaed that he had raado thousanda of pounds out of tho conceit and snob bishness of people living in country places, and especially people who hap pened to possess names ot a high sounding character. Ills method of work was simple, and only tho ultra snob could be taken in by it lie would glance through 11 local di rectory and select a few names of the Flta-Illank style. A short visit to the. town would help hlra to determlno tho character of the person a snob la eas ily distinguished, and bo would return to hla placo and write that be bad como Into the possession of a portrait which he had every reason to believe was that of an ancestor of Mr. Fits Olank. There would bo a fow quaint hiero glyphics ou tho back of the canvas showing that the original waa a native of tho town In which Mr. Fits-niank waa residing. In nlno casea ont of ten that picture sold at a price which meant a profit ot 100 per cent to the dealer after be had paid tho little Ital ian artist, who turned out the pictures by the doten. In many a country house today there la a fine old full length portrait ot an ancestor which waa painted In a murky studio somewhere down Whttechapel way, Margaret Bal lantyne In London Saturday Journal.
