PRESIDENT TAFT'S trip to the
west and south will break all
records of executive travel.
Few, however, who do not know
the president’s plans would be able to'
guess how this projected tour will
make history for itself. Three other
presidents of the United States have
journeyed to the far Pacific coast and,
it would seem, established a few rec
ords of their own. Ilarrison, McKin
ley and Roosevelt all went on hand
shaking and speechmaking jaunts, and
if they left anything undone in either
lino the newspapers of their day failed
to record the fact. Every milestone
along the transcontinental lines wa<
harangued, and every coyote and
prairie dog between the Mississippi
and the great divide got a view of at
least one of the three perambulating
presidents.
In the matter of miles to be covered
Taft will not smash the Booserelt rec
ord of 1903, for he expects to travel
only a little more than 12,000 miles this
fall. When his predecessor went to
the coast six years ago he reeled off
13,000 miles before bis return to Wash
ington. ■ It is in the line of economy

THE GENUINE TAFT HANDSHAKE.
that Taft will leave his predecessors
hopelessly behind. In the tour he is
planning he will be accompanied all
the way by Ins old friend Democratic
Simplicity.
Those roistering fellows Vain Show
and Needless Expense, who w r ere on
the Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt
trips to the coast, will be left behind.
No matter how strenuously they may
endeavor to climb aboard when the
president isn’t looking, they will not
be permitted under any circumstances
to set foot on tbe executive’s car. This
is official and also remarkable, for who
on earth ever heard of a public official
traveling before at the public expense
without taking one or botli of these
old favorites along? Quite often, it is
true, Vain Show has been left off
junkets planned and executed on the
quiet, but never in history has Need
less Expense been given such a cruel
blow by a public servant.
The President’s Economy.
One paragraph will convince the
most skeptical of Mr. Taft’s intention
to hold expenses down to bedrock.
The trip he is planning will cost tbe
treasury no more than $15,000; the
Roosevelt coast trip burned up $50,000
of good money. Taft will have only
one and one-half cars at his disposal;
Roosevelt had a train of five. Taft will
travel on regular trains; Roosevelt
“ran special” from Washington to Bell
ingham, from Bellingham to Los Ange
les and from Los Angeles back to
Washington again. Taft will be ac
companied by only his secretary and
one or two White House attaches, be
sides the members of the cabinet who
are his guests. Roosevelt had a ret
inue of twenty in his wake.
Still, frugally as Taft will proceed to
the Golden Gate and back, his going
and coming will cost the United States
treasury more than the journey of his
predecessor six years ago. This sounds
like a paradox, or as though the writer
of these lines were qualifying to take
a place In a sanitarium; but, neverthe
less, it Is a sober, sane and plain mat
ter of fact.
A great railroad corporation paid the
bill for tbe entire journey made by
Roosevelt—for the Pullman cars, for
the porters, waiters and train crews,
for the food eaten, the cigars smoked
and the cheering beverages consumed
duriDg all the sixty-six days that the
presidential party was on wheels. So,

Will Cost Uncle Sam More
Than Any Other Tour on
Account of the New Rail
road Rate Law. :: ::
too, did the railroads settle the bills
for the Harrison and McKinley tours
to the coast.
If the roads were so generous to
Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt,
why not to Taft? Why should they
not swing him around the circle, too,
for a handshake with the great Ameri
can voter and his wife?
No More Railroad Hospitality.
The answer is easy to find. The for
mer presidents traveled west before
the railroad rate law went into ef
fect. If Mr. Taft were to accept free
transportation across the boundaries
of any of the sovereign states of the
Union or of the territories he would
be liable to fine and sentence to tbe
penitentiary. So, too, would the men
who gave him the free ride across the
sacred border lines.
It should not be forgotten that when
Presidents Harrison, McKinley and
Roosevelt rode at the expense of the
railroad companies it was not against
the law and that every line that han
dled the presidents’ trains or paid for
provender aboard their cars got back
the money five for one. Crowds of
thousands upon thousands flocked to
the towns where the presidents were
billed to appear, and the crowds had
to he hauled from their homes aud
back again. The extra business thus
handled by the road repaid them many
times over for the money they expend
ed on the presidential travelers.
Taft’s Traveling Fund.
President Taft has at his disposal
$25,000 for traveling expenses during
the present fiscal or gpvernmental year,
which runs from July 1 to July 1.
President Roosevelt, who was the first
executive to be given a travel fund by
congress, had a similar amount to
spend at his discretion, and when he
left office on March 4 turned over to
Mr. Taft about $17,000 of the fund
untouched.
Up to the close of the year, on July
1, Mr. Taft spent about SI,OOO of this
apount and then turned back to the
treasury the remainder, something like
$16,000.
As soon as the year for which the
appropriation was made had ended
with midnight of June 30 the fund
was no longer available. It was swal
lowed up in the general fund of the
treasury a*nd might be used by the sec
retary of the treasury for any purpose
for which cash was needed.
If the president, therefore, had $15,-
895 of his travel fund left on the
morning of June 30 he might, had he
been so disposed, have handed It all
over to some railroad or steamship
company for “joy rides.” But on the
stroke of midnight the fund was
snatched from him, and on July 1 he
was absolutely broke so far as travel
money was concerned.
When the president made his trip
from the national capital to Beverly,
Norwich and Lake Champlain, begin
ning July 3 and ending July 9, he had
nothing left of the national travel fund
to pay his expenses. It was a case of
traveling “on his face” or putting his
hand into his own pocket. Congress
had not yet appropriated the $25,000
for the present fiscal year.
The railroads, however, were not dis
posed to be too hard on him. They
knew they were not risking a great
deal in waiting for the passage of the
urgent deficiency bill, and they came
to the rescue and provided transporta
tion for him. That the railroads’ con
fidence was not misplaced was soon
made evident by congress waking up
and, in spite ota mild opposition, mak
ing the appropriation.

Ht ELOPE?) WITH BRIDE
AND SELES HER AGAIN
Papa’s Cash is Used to
Good Ends.
New York, Oct. 4. —It is learned that
SIOO,OOO paid to Samuel Clarkson
paved the way for the continuance of
the first romance of Helen Maloney,
daughter of the Philadelphia million
aire Papal Marquis, Martin Maloney.
The tangle of her love story attracted
the attention of the nation, and the
series of of surprises ended only when
she was married for the second time to
Arthur Herbert Osborne, the Princeton
man, with whom she had eloped in
December, 1905.
The claim of Clarkson with whom
she ejoped two years ago, was settled
in cash, according to dispatches from
Washington.
Diplomats, prominent attorneys and
and church dignitaries were involved
in tiie efforts to straighten out the
ta.iyl-d romances Paris, London, New
York and Spring Lake, N. J. But it
was Cupid who finally smoothed out
ail the difficulties.
When the affair had quieted, down
Miss Maloney’s father went to Osborne
“Do you love Helen?” he asked.
“I loved her when I married her,
and I love her still.” the young man
answered.
The second marriage followed soon
after.
The first time they were married
they eloped and did not disclose their
real names. The wedding was to have
been kept secret till Osborne finished
his college course. Before that the
girl had met Clarkston, who is an
Englishman.
Clarkston, being very suave and per
suasive, soon convinced Miss Maloney
that she loved him. They eloped and
went to Europe. Martin Maloney went
after them. As soon as he found his
daughter he brought her back to this
country.
Then Maloney talked it over with
the Princetonian. Yes, Osborn still
loved the daughter. Maloney said he
should have her. Clarkston, it is said,
was paid SIOO,OOO for a release of all
claims. Then Osborn and Miss Ma
loney were married for a second time.

IN THIS BIG WEDDING
Miss Harriman Will Marry
Robert Goelet.
New York, Oct. 4.—Although an en
gagement lias not yet been formally
announced, no one is society will be at
all surprised if after a couple of
months Miss Mary Harriman, daughter
of the late railroad magnate, becomes
the bride of Robert Walton.
it has been admitted by relatives of
Miss Harifnan and of Mr. Goelet that
had the financial wizard lived a few
weeks longer there would have been
an elaborate wedding in the hipp-top
castle at Arden. And now they admit
since a decent interval has elapsed af
ter the burial of the master of Arden
that the wedding soon will occur, any
how, only it will be a quiet one.
The original plans were that Miss
Harriman should become Mrs. Goelet
before the snow whitened the forests
of her father’s great estate. That
meant some time during this month or
early next month. Mr. and Mrs. Har
riman and the other children of the
family were to have gone to the town
house and turned over the Arden place
to the bride and bridegroom for their
honeymoon.
Wanted Ceremony “On Time.”
That was one of the reasons why
hundreds of workmen were rushing to
completion the great stone castle, even
while Mr. Harriman lay dangerously
ill. It was his wish that the wedding
be performed “on time,” as his rail
road mind had it.
His death, of course, changed the
plans, or rather postponed them. But,
the young people’s friends learn the
delay will not be long, and most likely
the honeymoon will be spent, as was
originally planned.
Mr. Goelet has been constant in his
devotion, and he and Miss Mary have
been very much together for more
than a year, both here and abroad.
Mr. Goelet was with Mr. Harriman and
his daughter when the railroad king
sought health by camping for several
weeks in Texas. He lived with them
then.
Only the hardheads of the business
world misunderstood. They thought
that “Bobby" was being trained up to
succeed Mr. Harriman. Os course this
wasn’t so.
Both Have Great Wealth.
Society has smiled its aproval upon
the match. The Harrimans, of course,
are among the very wealthiest of
American families; the Goelets are
among the bluest of the blue bloods.
And they’re not poor.
Young Mr. Goelet’s mother was a
Warren, a sister of Whitney and Lloyd
Warren. When her husband died a
few years ago he left her and “Bobby”
a fortune then estimated at $40,000,000.
But it is more than that now, because
it is in New York real estate, which
naturally has enhanced in value.
This will be the second Harriman
girl who patriotically united herself
and her fortune to a young American
and his fortune. Miss Mary’s sister,
Cornelia, is the wife of Robert Liv
ingston Gerry.
The Harrimans, though, were al
ways staunchly American, and won
derfully sensible. Both girls have
chosen wisely and well and no doubt
Miss Carol, the third and last daugh
ter, will do exactly the same when
she is a little older.
