There is much speculation as to Se cretary Taf t's acceptance of a place ou the Supreme Bench, which has been of fered to him by the president. He will not be required to make his decision until next winter. By that time i : possible that further light may be cast upon the presidential campaign One of Secretary Taft's brothers j him to accept the appointment, rhiiP another strongly urges him to seizo ; the opportunity to become the repub j iienn nominee for president. As a Su , preme Justice does not take his sat until confirmed by the senate, possibly j a year may elapse before Secretary Taft is called upon to make the mo j mentous decision. Time itself mav j ;oint out the road he is to travel, j There is a refreshing certainty abour I Vice President Fairbanks' position, af j ter considering the doubts that sur j round the names of Roosevelt and Taft. I uctrvi ve auy nesitation in ! -believing that Cliarles Warren Fair ! Lnnks is a candidate for president. He j has been aiming for the presidency for jytars, and his aim thus far has been very -rood. His ambition is high and ; honorable, and why should he not make : it known? The very frankness of his ; desire lends a charm to his candidacy, j and perhaps attracts sympathy from ; many who are glad to see a man suc . reed in acocmplishing a lifelong pur I pose. j Vice President Fairbanks is a native j of Ohio and a resident of Indiana a : strong foundation for the presidency, i Indiana has been republican recently. ; but it is a mighty uncertain state, and one of the biggest political battls j grounds. It would support Fairbanks ; for the nomination, of course with ala- j j cnty, as against an outsider. Indianians ! say. moreover, that Fairbanks would j certainly carry the state against Bryan : or Hearst. I During the recent session of Congress ! Vice President Fairbanks was indefati I gable in .pursuing the gentle art of making friends. He is reputed to ha j old, calculating, and repellant, but ! this characterization is a'n invention j of the enemy. Mr. Fairbanks is the ; personification of courtesy and digni- fied geniality. His dinners during the ' past wnner were more numerous than i those of the president, and some of them were costly. The number of his j guests was great, and the social variety I in evidence was sometimes picturesque. I It was generally understood that these -:: J ! v a w.-.t dinners were intended to convince ma ' 1 i . . . , . . . i. 1 their host. Mrs. Fairbanks, a hand ! some and most hospitable matron, is j an enthusiastic partner in her nus- band's political ambition, and she has assisted him in many ways. As vice president, Mr. Fairbank's has demonstrated good judgment, tact, fairness and the ability to make friends ! His duties were extremely laborious, tSpWiaU.) il L LUC lillLCl CUU y'J. uiv o.o-j ion which recently closed.

Under cir cumstances which would have called forth irascible remarks even from such ! a model presiding officer as Senator ' Ft ye. there was not a sign of imps ! tience from the imperturbable India n ! ian. I Mr. Fairbanks is now rusticating on ! his farm in Illinois. He is an emhu ! siastic farmer, as all presidential can j didates ought to be. The stories of his ; Phenomenal absorption of buttermilk 1 have furnished a theme for pert para- graphers all over the country. The fact j is that Mr. Fairbanks has so few points : of criticism, either in public or private j life, that it is difficult for his enemies. if he has any, to pierce his armor. No man keeps his own counsel Det- ter than Mr. Fairbanks. Up to the moment that he was nominateu at Chicago, not even his closest political friends knew what his attitude would be toward the vice presidency.

Thi fa nn.. tenal. He knows the workings of th government course, as well as Any other man. His iopularity both in congress and among the people is very great. He is now in demand more thaii any other American as a campaign speaker. A few months ago "Uncle Joe" declared that he would rather re main speaker than be president. When asked if he was a candidate for presi dent he replied significantly: "Scat!" But it would not be strange if his name should lead all the rest in 1908. Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury is an andefatigable campaign er and a starwart standpatter. ' He shares with Vice President Fairbanks the unusual honor of being an out-and-out candidate for the presidency. A few months ago he was regarded with apprehension by other candidates, and he is by no means out of the race. If the standpatters and tariff revisionists should begin to pull and haul, for ex- ample, and the tariff should be the issue, it is possible that Secretary Shaw might be chosen by the stand-pat ele ments of the republican party as the "ideal candidate." His standpatism is of the deepest dye, and his ability to make his meaning clear is not excelled by any speaker of either party. When the tariff question is left out of the equation, however Secretary Shaw must also be left out. He is not especially other question. prominent in connection with any Piesident Roosevelt said to a friend last winter: "If by walking on my hands and knees from here to the cap ital I could secure the election of Elihu Root as president, I would gladly d'i it.' He added, however, that he realiz ed the impossibility of Mr. Root's nomination. The secretary of state himself is well aware of the handicap under which he labors in the minds of the people, as being too closely allied to the "money power" of New York Mr. Root is undeniably the ablest man in the Cabinet, and under other condi tions his elevation to the presideacy would be almost a forgone conclusion. In Washington he is rearded merely as j a remote ossibility an honest, patrio tic, and gifted man whose environment is unfavorable. Senator Foraker, of Ohio, said last winter that he was not to be consider ed in connection with the presidency; that in years he had cherished the hope of becoming president, but that he perceived now the impossibility of realizing that great ambition. Mr. For aker's dashing personality, his superb courage, as displayed in the railroad rate debate, and a hundred other en counters; his keen intellect as a law yer and statesman, and his clean-cut Americanism possess a charm for many republicans who have clung to the hope that he would yet be elected president. The fates appear to have been against "Fighting Jce" Foraker. He has won fortune, fame, and influence, but he has never yet been within sight of the portico of the White House. If any one of a thousand "ifs" had happened, this brilliant and audacious Ohioan would have reached the summit. He may be placed there yet; but the chances are as one in a thousand ac cording to the present aspect of the stars. In those great crowds which thriji Innripr rhp thunders of "eloquence" and iQvm their opin0ns of government by he teacnmcs Gf Chautauqua lecturers the name of Robert Marion JLatoneue is fondly cherished. His admirers are not lukewarm in their praise of his leonine courage. They think they see in him a political Moses whose rugged honesty and high fortitude will lead them out of the wilderness into a political paradise.

Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, might have been a prominent candidate' for president, under certain circum stances. If McKinlev hnd livod Kn-.v might have succeeded him. He has many of McKinley's qualities, en I would fill the nresidpntial chnir edly an unjust stmate of both n:en; but it remains to plague them, never theless. For this reason, Senator Knox is thought in Washington to be only remotely in line for the presidency a mere possibility. A few other names ;ire menti"ned occasionally, as for example Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin; Senator Bever idge, of Indiana, and others who ar more or kss prominent- The sena'e however, has never been a stepping stone to the presidency, and mention of these and other senators as presiden tial candidates is mere idle irosin. X;r is there any member of the house, with the exception of "Uncle Joe" Cannon, who enjoys a reputation comparable with that which led to the nomination of McKinlev. Theodore E. Burton, rep resenting the Cleveland district in the house, is so highly esteemed by those who know him, that he is sometimes suggested for the pt'sideney ; but his merits are hidden under a bushel, sc. far as the great public is concerned. If the next national convention should seek for dark horses, as other conven tions have done so unexpectedly, Mr. Burton might find himself suddenly in the spotlight. But a hundred others stand just as grod a cranes and it is idle to discuss them so far in advanc-2 of the actual skirmish. IXTKHF.STIXG TALK AlilKRT .MISS MAKY ("I ST IS LKK (Washington Correspondence of the Louisville Courier-Journal.) One of the interesting characters in life who spends much of her time in Washington is Miss Mary Custis Lee, the only surviving daughter of Gen. Robert E. Lee, a woman to whom her famous father has transmitted many individual traits. She is a wom an now of middle age, commanding in physique, with an honest, straightfor wardness of manner that sometimes al most amounts to bousquerie. What Miss Lee thinks, she thinks and she say it, too, without furbelows. A part of the summer she has been the guest on Massachusetts avenue of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lee. of no particular relationship. Pretty, piquante, young Mrs. Lee is the daughter of Hon. Henry Gassaway Davis, the old gentleman who doesn't happen to be vice presi dent. By the same token she is the sister of the wife of Senator Elkins of West Virginia, and a good many ether pleasant things besides. i When you call on Miss Mary Cus tis Lee she shows you things. She loves to scramble through ancestral loot and regale the appreciative with views of relics that have played their part in history and romance in other days, things that pertain to her person al pedigree. For Miss Lee is "bloody kin" as the small boy said to mosi of the big things that have happened in this country. Her most sacred treasure is an ex quisite miniature of her beloved father, done on ivory in Paris by a world-famed expert. Another is a quaint and valuable necklace of precious stones, presented to her during a residence in Europe by various foreign admirers of her father. She wears this, like royal insignia, on every grand occasion upon her handsome neck, en grande decolle tage. A set of buttons from the coat of General Washington is an interesting possession of Miss Lee. The buttons themselves are intrinscially valuable They are of a beautiful "moss agate',' of a milky transucence, with tiny flecks of moss below the surface, the whole about the size of a half dollar, mounted on gold of heavy workmannip done in England. DTiring Miss Lee's sporting childhood at old Arlington on the Potomac, the mansion built by her grandfather, George Washington Parke Curtis a foster son of the illustrious general the old black velvet coat upon which these buttons originally figured was simply a wart of the flotsam and jetsam of the i old attic of the house. "In those days, my dear. Miss Lee smiled reminis cently, "people didn't value heirlooms as they do today."
