the theory of nil

Most of the na-
tion’s loading of?.-
rials not only
preach but proc-
ure the doctrine of
nbundant, and If
possible, frequent recreation. Oc-
cupants of the presidential and
vlce-presldentla! offices, cabinet
members. Justices of the Supreme
court, and other high tribunals, sen-
ators and representatives In eon
Itress, governors of states, foreign
diplomats stationed In the United
Rtates, and lesser officials without
number, are wont to manifest for
chosen pastimes and favorite forms
of outdoor sport much of that eager
enthusiasm that one Is prone to ex-
pect from schoolboys freshly un
leashed for the long summer va-
cation.
President Taft has three forms of
outdoor exorcise that nfford mental
relaxation, combined with the
physical training that his physi-
cians tell him In* must havje. The
three are motoring, hon-ebark ri-
ding and golf, and in Mr Taft’s es
tlmatlon, the greatest of these Is
golf. Till* pres nt chief magis-
trate has be< n playing golf for a
good many yours now -over slneo
he began to go with lit;' brothers
every summer to nil obscure re-
sort In Canada, tbo chief qualifica-
tions of which In those days, were
tho excellent golf links, combined
with the unla hlonsblc mine i hero
that permitted a man to wear Ills
old clothes and live within the In-
come of n Jurist of modest means.
In those days of his early alle-
giance to the Scotch game, Taft
Inaugurated n golfing rivalry with
his neighbor, Justice Harlan of the
United States Supreme court, and
the two men, to this day, delight to
rdiate experiences on tho links at
each other’s < xpense, n class of
anecdote that never falls to fijul
credulous listeners In the persons
of Justice McKenna and other
members of the 1’nlted States Su-
preme court, who, themselves go
In for golf to a greater or less ex-
tent. Since he has resided at the
White House, President Taft has
devoted more time to golf than
ever before. Tills has been due
partly to the advice of his physi
clans, and partly to a deepened In-
terest In the game. Persons who
have never seen President Taft on
the links would be surprised nt Ills
agility and enthusiasm In tramping
over a four-mile course, keeping up
n running fire of jest and comment
all the while with his partner and opponents.
Vice-President Sherman Is of one mind with
President Taft about golf and motoring lie
has frequently played golf with the chief
executive since tho advent of the present ad-
ministration and Ills interest In the game Is
heightened by tho fact that one of his three
sons Is a golfer of championship caliber, llow
ever, Vice-President Sherman does not drive
Ills own automobile. Another hobby of the
vice-president Is an old-fashioned garden that
produces prize posies and vegetables, to say
nothing of grapes, that are Mr. Sherman’s
especial pride.

strenuously athletic as was the ease during
the Roosevelt regime, when the personnel of
the famous “tennis cabinet” overlapped that
of the regular cabinet. Secretary of State
Knox ts almost ns keen as his chief on the sub-
ject of golf.
He Is u lover of the open atr, but rather in
tho way of quiet actlvitie: than of strenuous
exertions and enterprising sport. Ills coolness
and promptness and the accuracy of his men-
tal operations combine to make him a good
sportsman In anything he undertakes. Ho Is
u tood horseman and fond of his horses, and
is a good fisherman, and plays a strong, steady
game ot golf. He likes the life of his farm
at Valley Forge, near Philadelphia,
and spends a good deal of his
time there, and takes a personal
Interest in the conduct of it, and
is in the saddle a good deal of the
time, or else is walking over the
country roads of the neighborhood.
Secretary of War Dickinson takes pride in
blooded horses and gets credit for being a
"dead shot" with pistol and rifle. Secretary of
the Navy Meyer rides horseback and plays
golf, but his ideal of perfect happiness is
bound up In a season of salmon fishing in the
wilds of Canada. Postmaster General Hitch-
cock rides horseback a little, and makes a stag-
ger nt golf but does not seem to have the
knack of getting much fun out of either, for all
that he used to be a crack athlete at Harvard.
Secretaries Nagel and llallinger have been too
busy "liousecleaning” their departments since
taking office to devote much time to diversions
nf any Fort, but Ballinger, like most
of the westerners in public life, Is ac-
counted an excellent Tlorsemnn. Horse-
bimk riding is also the vent of Fred
Warner Cnrpenter, secretary to the
president.
The members of the United States
senate are almost without exception
subscribers to the vacation habit. Sen-
ator Elkins and Senator Warren are
famous horsemen, and Senator Bourne
of Oregon, and a number of his fellow
statesmen, have proven their prowess
as golfers. There are many men in
public life who regard some form of
“roughing it” as the only sure means
of rejuvenation. Senator Beveridge is
one of these. In his estimation noth-
ing can compare for pure enjoyment
with a camping and fishing trip in the
Maine woods.
Senator Dolllver doesn’t care for
much in the line of sports, except
fishing. He will sit for hours along
the Des Moines river and angle for
bass, or perch or pickerel, file often
hitches up “George.” the Dolliver fam-
ily horse, who would never take a
prize at an equine beauty show, and
drives out to “The Slide," a well-
known fishing place along the river,
to spend the day. Roosevelt used to
invite the Iowa senator to go horse-
hack riding with him, but be always
fought sliy
Governor Hughes of New York is a
lover of the wilderness. He devotes
some weeks almost every summer to
mountain climbing. Timothy Wood-
ruff the New York politician, who has
been so prominently in the public eye
this year, is another prominent man
who alternates mountain climbing
with indulgence of his other fad, ama-
teur photograph’y.
J. Pierpont Morgan, the financier. Is
distinguished as a yachtsman. He
was commodore of the New York
Yaelit club, he built a yacht to defend
the America’s cup, and his steam
yacht Corsair served as a war vessel
In the Spanlsh-American war. His
kennels hear witness to liis leadership
among dog fanciers. But it is as a pa-
tron of art that the distinguished
financier now finds his greatest relax-
ation. Much of his time in recent
years has been spent abroad picking
up art treasures, regardless of cost
His pictures, statuary, tapestries, glass enam-
els, porcelains, sliver, woodwork and other
treasures, which fill two houses in London
and occupy important halls in the South Ken-
sington and other museums, are so valuable
that It Is said the duties collectible on them
in New York would amount to at least seven
million dollars.
Almost all of the leading diplomats now sta-
tioned in this country have adopted American
fads. Count von Bernstorff, the German am-
bassador, alike to a number of the other en-
voys, is an enthusiast on motoring, and drives
his own car.

UK season of mighty migration to
Europe, tlie annual exodus of enter-
prising Yankees to the old coun-
tries where the significance or
American strength and success is
felt to n greater degree with each
succeeding season will soon be in full blast.
Knob season a Yankee army pours through tho
northern gateways, slides down the Rhine,
scales die Alps and there, In the cool mountain
passes, tights for hotel accommodation with the
Invading army that has entered the south.
In years of depression there is naturally a
temporary shrinkage In this ever-growing in-
vasion of Kurope from the west, but years of
general depression grow fewer ns time goes
on, so vast and steadfast become the riches of
the western world. Recently America was
described by an enthusiastic captain of Indus-
try as the “land of promise and prosperity,
taking an aggressive lead in tile things which
make for commercial supremacy.”
Figures on transatlantic steamship trnvel nt
this season of the year are of interest to those
who wish to feel the pulse of the country’s
Immediate condition and resources. The ocean
liner is a generally unfailing barometer of-the
stability of finance and wealth at the timo
being. A shipload of sea-goers crowding the
decks of n great liner as she moves out from
her berth is a sign that tilings are on the up-
ward trend. Optimists of all classes, perma-
nent and transient, point Just now with glee
to the predictions of steamship men that the
coming season will be a banner one.
“Last year was a good yenr, despite the de-
pression of the preceding season " Bald a rep-
resentative of one of the large lines recently

to a third more business than was recorded in
1909. In fact, we look for a banner year.”
But It Is with the North Atlantic trade that
the prognosticators mostly concern themselves.
So vast is Hie community drawn on by the
cruising steamships that they would be as-
sured of goodly lists in almost any ense. But
where would the passengers come from to fill
tlie great express ships bound for northern Eu-
rope if America were In the doldrums? The
sad sea waves answer "Where?” Considering
that tlie minimum saloon rate Just now by
such vessels ns the I.usltanin and Mauretania
is $12"), by tlie Kronprlnzessin Cecelie $117 SO,
by the Adriatic nnd Kalserln $112.50 and by
the l’rovence $105, It Is not difficult to renlize
that a great deal of money Is spent in ocean
fares alone.
According to the steamship men the opti-
mists are to have their wish this year nnd their
cheerful yammerings will not be without foun-
dation. From present indications the big
ships will be going out well filled some weeks
before mid-May, when the huge hegirn begins
to reach an ucute stage. April,^the "interuiijdL
ate season," usually a time ta indicate how
later travel will be. bids fair UiIb year to be an
unusually brisk month for outwurd bounders
In order to avoid further generalities at this
point figures are Inserted here to give a prac-
tical idea as to the capacity of several of the
popular floating hotels, what the rates nre at
the beginning of the rush and also the approxt-
mute lump sum paid by saloon voyagers when
the liner goes out full. Also the steamship
officers were sounded for the purpose of ascer-
taining how the advance bookings were for
sailing In April. Everywhere the answer was,
“We’ll be pretty well crowded by sailing day."
The total of saloon fares Is computed by
means of an average fare figured out by the
steamship nu-n. The average on the Kron-
prlnzessin Cecelie was about $235. It will be
seen by the total that travelers by half a
dozen of the big liners taken in n bunch spend
a sum well over half a million dollars before
the start. There ts of course a big sum ex-
pended also on these ships for second-cabin
fares.
These, it 1b estimated, would amount In
t|ie case of the Kalserin Auguste Victoria, for'
Instance, to $19,500 on the bdsis of 300 ‘pas-
sengers at an average fare ofy$65. Thps the
ftires for cabin passengers the Hamburg,
boat would total $130,500. The Kaiseria, the
North Germau Lloyd boats and the Rotterdam
are very large cabin passenger carriers.
Early in June is the period when the Euro-
pean exodus reaches its g.eatest height and it
ts at this time that the liners go out laden to
the gunwales with Americans in holiday mood,
intent on capturing Europe ouce more for
your Uncle Sam. The percentage of travel
from inland points grows apace and the middle
west is well represented on a majority of pas-
senger lists. The old bugbear of discomforts
on an ocean trip Is now a thing of the past;
pretentious liners boast almost all the con-
veniences money can buy and Turkish baths,
palm gardens, a la carte restaurants, swimming
pools and other things are already an old
story.
Two unusual features In Europe this year
are calculated to draw extra thousands from
these shores These are the Brussels exposi-
tion, which begins In June, and the “Passion
Play” at Oberammergau, the first performance
of which is expected to take place May 11. The
piny, as Is well known, is given at Intervals of
ten years. Hundreds of Americans secured
seats a year ago for this season's production
There will be four performances In May, six
In June, seven in July, nine in August and five
in September. The performances begin In the
morning nt eight o'clock and continue until
six in the evening, with an Interval of two
hours at midday.
It appears under the circumstances that the
slogan for thousands will be "Alb aboard for
good old Europe.” You’Wlll be going whether
you have a little cell down near the bunkers os
accommodations de luxe- near -a sunny boat
deck, where the children .can roller skate on
placid mornings. And Europe will see you

“I tried to get a chance to speak to
you at church Sunday,” said Mrs. Old-
castle, “but tlie crush was so great
that I couldn't push through to where
you were.” “Yes, wasn’t it awful?” re-
plied her hostess, as she flecked a bit
of dust from the Gobelin tapestry. “All
the common folks in town seem to.
want to crowd into our church lately.
It's too bad they ain't satisfied to stay
where they belong. How did you like
the sermon?” “Well, ns a sermon it
was fairly good, but I do wish Doctor
Goodman would quit spitting his in-
finttives. I try not to let it make me
nervous, but i can't keep from being
shocked every time he does it." “I
never let them kind of tilings bother
me, but that's where the Episcopals
have the advantage of us. If our
preacher would wear a long robe he
could split them and we would never
notice it.”—Kansas City Star.
