was one the public had expected
since the veteran statesman had re -

pages were eloquent with eulogies,
which bespoke the greatness of the
loss to the nation and then ended
with the consolation that Taft had
lived his allotted three score and
ten years and had devoted them oO
completely to public service that no
more could be expected. In a some

mark of a friend and contemporary
of Taft expressed a poignant envv
of his now unchallenged peace and
rest.

a man as ‘'level-headed” as Tait

then a lamentably different state of
affairs had prevailed. A middle-age 1
man answered a child's query as to
why they were standing in the rain
