IT IS fair to presume that the announcement contained in the
Washington correspondence of The Call concerning. Mr.. Taft's
candidacy in 1912 is authoritative, although, of course, not
official. Intimations of that character rarely
come directly, but are suffered to leak out by
way of a feeler or test of public sentiment.
If the reception should prove unfavorable they
can be repudiated or allowed to lapse into
oblivion. Apart from any intimations coming from Washington,
it need not be doubted that Mr. Taft will be a candidate to succeed
himself. Such is the established custom governing the traditions
of the presidential office. Indeed, refusal to re-elect a president for
a second term would by virtue of this custom be regarded as a
vote of want of confidence in his administration and a verdict that
he had not "made good" in office. This being the situation, the
force of circumstances compels a president to subject himself to
the test of a second candidacy and the popular judgment thereafter
following.
It is ill prophesying about politics one day ahead, and much
more so when the forecast covers a period of nearly two years,
but as things look now no very dangerous opponent appears to
contest Mr. Taft's nomination by the republican party. The
second term tradition is all in his favor, and his consistent policy
of taking the middle course, while it may not please the extreme
radicals, commends itself to a busy people, for whom politics is
fnostly a side issue. They know that under Taft's rule the affairs
of the nation will be treated in a calm, judicial spirit, and they
have now and always the fullest confidence in his sincerity and
honest}-.
As we have said, no other dangerous competitor for the nom
ination now appears. It may be regarded as certain that Roosevelt
will not be a candidate in the absence of any startling change, of
conditions. The colonel will doubtless be found loyally supporting
his old official comrade. Cummins of lowa has been mentioned
as the propable candidate of the radical wing of the party. He
is an able man, but it does not seem that his turn has yet arrived.
But all this is still so far in the future that while speculation on
the subject is interesting it may be made futile and foolish by
the course of events.
Tafta
Candidate .
Again in 1912
MR. ROWELL of the Fresno Republican told the assembled
teachers of the public schools on Tuesday that more men
men of red blood, not mere mollycoddles — are. needed' to
" strengthen the teaching staffs. The conten
tion is not new. Other thinkers have declared
that teaching in the schools is in danger of
becoming feminized, if that has not already
happened. • •
It may be urged that worse things might happen and that if
there is a certain softening influence due to feminine teaching a
recovery is easily and quickly accomplished by. contact with a
rude world. There are people who declare that the schoolboy
in process of development is a little savage who is none the worse
for contact with a refining influence.
But the root of the -matter lies not in abstract discussion of; a
more or less metaphysical character, but rather in the actual scale
of pay for teachers. It is quite useless to talk of having more men
teachers if we do not raise the- general scale of salaries to' the
standard of men's pay. A comparatively unskilled brakeman oma
railroad earns rather ' more money than the. average, teacher and
lie does not require a university or normal school education to
qualify him for his work. A university graduate in engineering,
let us say, earns ; perhaps twice as rauch as the average of grammar
school salaries. If the scale of pay for these grades of teaching
P. he schools could be raised to anVaverage of $150 a month there
lid be plenty of well qualified young men looking for the job.
It is not contended, as we understand, that the teaching done
by. women is of inferior quality except in so far as it may have
some real or supposed softening influence on impressionable youth.
A certain admixture of men on the teaching, staffs might. have its
good effects, but it is only possible by materially "raising the- scale
of pay for all teachers. . * . ;

HE park commission is well advised to go slow about granting
a franchise for -a railroad along' the ocean highway. The
popular drive and promenade skirting the ocean is none tod
wide now and would not . be improved by
railway tracks.
"The park commission is custodian of a
high trust for the good of the whole .people,
and more especially for those in moderate
circumstances, for whom the park and its appurtenances constitute
the great popular playground. It is not clear how such people
\u25a0would be advantaged by an opportunity to ride upland; down the
beach. They go there chiefly to walk, 6n the sands and watch the
tumbling breakers, which are about the same at one point as at
another. People don't want to be always going somewhere! ' There
is, a time to sit still or stroll about, and 'there is no place better
suited for these occupations than the sands within sight and souncl
of ocean.
Mr. Willis Polk is recommended to read Wordsworth's. sonnet
beginning "The world is too much with us." It will do him more
good than building foolish railways that get nowhere.

THE remarkable and even astonishing, . , growth \u25a0; of trans
portation. by sea between they Atlantic -and 'Pacific coasts
via the Tehuantepec and Panama ; . routes; during; the
last five years is one of the most encourag
ing facts of the commercial situation, as
it affects, the business of San Francisco.
The. following table shows what has been done
on these routes and the rate of progress
in trie . last nve years:

. *Traffic via- Tehuantepec began January 1, 190.7.
That is to. say, $82,000,000 worth of , American goods was
transported across the two isthmuses' in 1910, where five. years ago
the traffic amounted to less than $6,000,000. An itemized segregation
of this traffic is given:' >; \u25a0•; :
Of the $41,000,000 worth of American merchandise passing west
ward over the Tehuantepec line last year, $23,000,000 worth went to San f
Francisco, $9,000,000 worth to San Diego, $4,500,000 worth to Puget sound,
$3,500,000 worth to /Hawaii, and $750,000 .worth to foreign : countries.
Central America, Mexico and British Columbia; Of the $28,000,000 worth
passing eastward over" the Tehuantepecjline,- $20,000,000 worth, chiefly
sugar, was" from Hawaii, $6,000,000 worth from San Francisco, and'
. $1,666,000 worth \ from ; Puget sound. 'Of .the $9,250,000 worth; passing ; .
westward over thePanarha 1ine, 55,000,000 worth was destined for foreign
countries 'on the west coast of -Ajiierica, , and ;$4,25J),000 : ;.w0rth- to the
Pacific coast of: the "United;:States, .'chiefly San^^ Francisco;fwhile^Qf the •
$3,500,000 worth"passing eastward; over that line; the 'entire* amount .was x .
from the port of San Francisco* •; ; ; • > ; -
It is evident from these figures that the merchants' and shippers
on the Atlantic coast are -making a larger use of 'these facilities
than those ;on this sidei While San Francisco is doing a large and
important share of the business," it 'might very \vell" be /increased.
The merchants of this region have made" no .effort ;to develop trade
with the Pacific coast of South. America,fand the, figures show that
the opportunity to open the southern field of trade afforded by these
isthmian routes; has been .eagerly availed of in the' east. As a
matter of fact, a large sliare/of that trade. should belong 'to us.

A Harvard professor who seems a bad guesser
is claiming that woman's becoming like man ; she's
dropping her graces and losing
all traces of feminine beauty as
fast as she can. Her shoulders
\u25a0 are.' broader, she eats too \u25a0 much
fodder, she walks like a pirate,
and soon she will shave: she's
bold and athletic and not sympathetic ; the old fash
ioned woman has gone to her grave! Come off,
Harvard, teacher ! You've studied some, creature
who holds down a" job in a Boston musee!" For
women are fairer and sweeter and rarer than ever
they were, in this land of the free! They're better^
and saner, and not a whit plainer than damsels who languished and
knitted and. swooned; the damsel of Cooper— the weeper and drooper
—is she the fair lady o'er whom you have mooned? Thank God for
the woman, so healthy and btoomin', who carries herself with a

ALARM
The Morning Chit-Chat
THE butcher down the street has just gone into
bankruptcy: ' J
There is a "to let" sign in the store he has
. occupied so many years; his family have moved
from their comfortable house into a small apartment,
and he. has .taken a clerkship with a butcher in another
town.
We were discussing the reason for his failure the
other day. There are only two butcher shops in our sec
tion of the town and it really seems as if there ought to
be trade enough to support them both more than com
fortably. ...
Molly, the little stenographer lady, advanced the
suggestion that it might be because he always cut off a
pound or so more than you asked for. Her mother, sho
said,^was always scolding because he did that.
"Buty the other man doe? that, too/, someone protested, "and he seem 3
to be getting along all right."
. An original person suggested it might be that he had inferior meats,
but some one -who had traded with both men assured us they had practically
the same goods at the same prices.
Then the Jady who already knows somehow, spoke up. "I'll tell you just
\u25a0why^ I think it was," she announced. "It was because he never smiled."
"He'd say,- ' Good morning, what can I do for you?' as- if it were ground
out of, him' with a crank, and then he'd cut. the meat and weigh it and give it
to you and make the change all without the least bit of a smile.
"It was really depressing to go there. No man could succeed no matter
what his goods were if he treated customers that way."
I think. the lady who always knows somehow, was right.
I "know I used to subconsciously dislike to go into his store. I never
translated my feelings about it to myself, but" I shouldn't wonder if it was
just that — that he was so very unsmiling.
* I doubt if many people realize the full commercial value of a smile. And
yet how many of us haven't proved it ourselves again and again by buying
something chiefly because salesman or woman smiled so pleasantly and
seemed so interested.
If you want to succeed you can't afford not to smile oftener than you
do. That may sound like a very broad statement, but. l feel quite safe' in
making it, because I never but once in my. life saw anyone who smiled too
much, and every day I see people who don't smile half enough.
For the office as welKas the home, for success in business as well as in
friendship, I know of no" better motto than this little verse:
Smile" awhile
1 And; while you smile another smiles
And soon there's miles and miles of smiles.
And life's worth while \u25a0 ' -^'
Because you smiled. > \ Xx^X&v, G CL-vr\*A*yvL*
Indians on the shores of Spirit and OkoboJl
lakes, in lowa,' many years aj:o?
The date was October 8, 1857. Forty
one persons were killed outright, three
wounded and four captured. Twelve
were reported missing. Their remains
were subsequently found in the woods.
All the houses, in the vicinity were
burned and the cattle either killed or
driven off. When the report of this
massacre reached Fort Dodge, the
nearest settlement, Major Williams.
U. S. A.,- headed an expedition for -the
scene. After considerable difficulty on
account of the deep snow and severe
weather the troops reached Emmett.
where they, learned -that the Indians
had disappeared. Twenty-two men
under command of Captain J. C. John
ston remained at the scene of the mas
sacre and buried, the dead. On the re
turn.to the fort, the cold was so severe
that Captain, Johnston and one of the
men froze to death.
