that

of

When
raising

while

he
had
had
to

now

In-,

The
late
Mr.
Taft
was
perhaps
more
Intimately
acquainted
with
Canada
than
any
other
president
of
the
United
States.
For
many
years
he
maintained
a
summer
home
at
Murray
Bay
on
the
St.

River
not
far
from
Quebec.
He
was
wont
to
go
there
each
summer
to
seek
surcease
from
his
arduous
public
duties
In
boating
and
fishing.
Mr.
Taft
was
precipitated
Into
politics
from
a
law
office
in
Cincinnati.
Oddly
enough
both
he
and
Theodore
Roosevelt
became
known

about
the

resulted

later
exercised

Mr.
Roosevelt
generally
