WILLIAM H. TAFT THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT WILL be the next president of the United
States as was freely and generally predicted except by some newspapers which fooled the people Into v thinking that Mr. Bryan had any chance. Mr. Taft
is most emphatically the choice of the people and will undoubtedly make a great and a good president. The people have given every evidence that
thy ar inclined to trust him as they trusted Roosevelt. Mr. Taft will wear wtll and as people come to know him they will love him. He has
given every evidence of his wonderful ability so far in public life and there is little question that the Taft administration will be one of the grandest in the history of the United States. Judge Taft was elected on his merits
and on his achievements and in face of the fact that his party was ad
versely judged responsible for the panic conditions by hosts of voters all
over the country. The American people in electing Mr. Taft showed that they never will be governed by radical leaders if they can help it. The country
is to be congratulated on the election of Mr. Taft and Mr. Sherman. SHAKE HANDS WITH THE LOSER!
YOUR PITY ISN'T WANTED by the man who loses. He's a game
fellow, is the politician, and he seldom whines, but takes his medicine like a little man. If he does whine, perhaps you will be able to see where
in he may have lost. All honor to the losers in the political battle. They fought the . best they could. If they were over-confident and took, too roseate a hued view of things, you can't blame them. They had to have
encouragement from some source or they would not have been able to fight at all. So shake hands with the loser don't tell him that you are sorry for him but congratulate him for the fight he put up. Don't brag
about your victory for there may be some battle in life that you may one
day lose and you'll know then how your losing friend felt. HOUSE CLEANING TIME AGAIN.
THIS IS THE HEART-BREAKING time of the year when painters and
paperers are in charge and the average home looks as if a stick of dyna
mite in its "midst." It's a good time of the year in many ways. New wall paper is better than old paper, even if the color isn't as good, because it
is cleaner. Turning ones home upside dawn and inside out is a whole
some process, even if it is the most effectual means of making one uncom
fortable, known to civilization. Disorder makes one appreciate order. Con
fusion makes one yearn for the serene oil-wheeled smoothness of the normal
orderly household and grateful to the house-mistress, who creates this at
mospbere of peace adn comfort when the painters and paperers are not troubling. The fact that these things make home a home and a beauti
ful place to live after the summer roving, has its sure compensations. ROADLESS AMERICA IN TRANSFORMATION.
FROM THE MALEDICTIONS SCATTERED broadcast in the mire of roadless America by despairing bicyclists fifteen years ago hopes of better
things have taken root. So writes C. F. Carter in the Technical World magazine. No gift of prophecy is now required to foresee a time when these hopes will have so far materialized that a team, if it is a good one, will be able to haul an empty wagon over the gumbo roads of the Mississippi valley in the spring, and the public highways of the south will be so well buoyed
that light draft automobiles may navigate them in comparative safety.
From every part of the country comes the same encouraging news. Six
teen states now have highway commissions that are trying in various ways
to supply, the greatest need of the nation, which is good roads. At one ex
treme in New York, which In 1905 voted to expend fifty million dollars in building roads. Under the plan adopted the state will build and maintain
3,332 miles connecting the principal cities, and pay one-half the cost of 4,700
miles of local roads to be built by the counties.
At the other extreme in Iowa, the third state in the Union in extent of
road mileage, where the use of the public highways is so vast that if teams enough could be assembled to do in one day all the traveling done in the state in a year, the line would reach one and a half around the earth, which doles out an annual appropriation of $5,000 to defray the expenses of the
Mate college faculty while acting in the capacity of highway commission
s i WEST POINT TODAY.
Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright. U08. by Edwin A. Nye.
YOUR WIFE. A close relative ot the writer of this
article in a moment of Intimacy confided the fact that he was more or less disappointed in his wife.
This recently married husband said: "She Js vivacious and good tempered
and all that, but she is. I think, a little frivolous for a married woman. She is also somewhat extravagant and impractical In her housekeeping."
Well, I said, "Did you marry her be
cause you thought her practical and
economical, a good housekeeper and a financial manager?'
After a pause he replied: "No, not exactly. I was fascinated
with her ways and good looks. I did
not think much about the practical
qualities. Really I liked her because she was Illogical and impulsive."
And there you are. The boy ha4 married the girl be
cause she was pretty and whimsical
and girlishly Irresponsible, and now he was finding fault with her because
she was not practical, a good cook and
housekeeper. He seemed to think it Is not so un
common in bridegrooms that a few
words uttered by a minister would
miraculously change her entire nature.
Nobody made him marry her. Indeed, there was opposition by her
family.
The girl did not pretend to be a competent cook or an able financier. In short, the boy got Just what he ad
mired, Just what he wanted, and now,
having accomplished his heart's desire, was finding fault with his bargain. It is possible there are others. Young husband or old, for that matterdid It ever occur to you that possibly you are asking or expecting from your wife more than you ought? Are you demanding more from her than In reason you should receive? Now, It Is quite possible should you cease to expect too much and quit finding fault with your wife and give her an honest chance to do what you want her to do and become what you want her to be if you would give her "a square deal" she might come more closely to your expectations. Most women have good hearts and are quick to respond to encouragement and fair treatment. Do not expect too much of your wife. Give her a chance. She will meet you halfway or more. But If not don't whine. Keep still and take your medicine.

The hero always wins the bride, With mirth and music on the side. No one is bothered in the play About a small thing Hke his pay. One always has a roll of bills That easily a pocket fills.

Washington, D. C, Nov. 4. No woman ever called upon to fill the difficult and exacting position of mistress of the White House was better prepared and equipped for her task than is Mrs. Helen H. Taft, the wife of President-Elect Taft. She Is a woman of culture and refinement and' of many accomplishments, possesses unusual tact, social finish and above all a large measure of sound common sense. For a number of years she has lived in Washington as one of the most distinguished women of the official circles and the training which she received during that time will, undoubtedly, prove of great value to her as mistress of the White House. Personally Mrs. Taft is quite as attractive as she is from an intellectual point of view. She Is fair, slender and girlish looking and no one would suspect from her appearance that she has a son old enough to be in college. She Is frank and vivacious, unpretentious, and yet possessed of marked dignity of bearing and the self-poise so necessary to a woman in her exalted position. She is always cordial, a rare accomplishment among society women and possesses an excellent memory for persons and names, an invaluable gift for the wife of a political leader. The new mistress of the White House was Miss Helen Herron, daughter of the law partner of the late President Hayes, when she married William H. Taft in Cincinnati. In 1886. She was a bright and talented girl with a perfect passion for music. In addition to
a good education she received an excellent training in music and through all her future life music has ever been her favorite recreation. She is not only an accomplished pianist, but possesses a thorough knowledge of the theory of music and an extensive acquaintance with the breat works of musical literature. But, notwithstanding her great love of music and her ardent devotion to it, she has never allowed Jt to become an all-absorbing passion, or even a fad to the extent of interfering with her duties to her husband and her family. Although, probably, better equipped for a high social position than most women holding Important positions In American society, Mrs. Taft is by no means a typical "society woman." For that she is too intelligent, sensible and well balanced. Ever since her husband entered official life in Washington and even before that, when he was still holding a judgeship in Ohio, Mrs. Taft
has made it her study and aim to fill to the best of her ability the position in society to which she was entitled by virtue of her husband's official rank. Her natural talent and the intellectual training of her girlhood days made the task easier for her and her inborn tact helped her to avoid the pitfalls so disastrous to Inexperienced and but Indifferently equipped women in official society. Nowhere is the new mistress of the White House seen to greater advantage than in her home circle, the supreme test for the sterling qualities of any woman, no matter what her position in society. She is devoted to her husband and her children, takes interest in everything pertaining to her domestic establishment and is considered a model housekeeper. She does not consider it below her digfilty to attend to her household -duties and devotes great personal care to the proper conduct of her domestic establishment. No woman in Washington society ever knew better than Mrs. Taft to add a wholesome and refreshing domestic charm to her social entertainments. No matter how formal the function may be, Mrs. Taft as the hostess makes all her guests feel that they are received at her home, not in a hotel parlor or a public hall. She knows better than most women the secret of making her guests feel at ease, without vulgariiing the tone dominant of her hospitable board. Mrs. Taft is an accomplished musician and has great love for her art, but she never obtrudes the subject of music in conversation nor does she ever bore her guests with inane accounts of the petty tribulations to which every woman at the head of a large domestic establishment is more or less exposed. Of her family and her own. affairs she speaks with wellbred discretion and sparingly, while she shows remarkable skill and tact in drawing out her visitors by manifesting sympathetic Interest in their affairs. Her home, wherever she may be, is always filled with that Intangible charm which springs from the intellectuality, refinement and exquisite artistic taste of the hostess. Mrs. Taft, like her daughter, Helen, now studying at Bryn Mawr, is an Episcopalian, but she is broad-minded enough not to allow religious differences as a serious nature to arise between her and her husband, who belongs to the Unitarian church, although he frequently attends services at the Episcopal church with his wife.

REPUBLICAN VICTORY NO SURPRISE .SAYS HITCHCOCK
The Salome dance has been suppressed in Pittsburg. The next thing
New York, Nov. 3. Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock of the republican national committee and practically all the republican national leaders at present in the city received the returns by special wire at the republican headquarters. Mr. Hitchcock was in constant communication with both the White House and Mr. Taft's home in Cincinnati by direct wire. The republican chairman was perfectly cool and collected as the returns came in. When it became certain that Taft and Sherman had won he was asked for a statement and said: "I am not at all surprised at the result. All of my advices indicated that Mr. Taft would be elected, without doubt. It is simply an evidence that the American people are satisfied with the policies of the republican party and wish them continued for the next four years. I do not see that there is anything more I can say."
