into violent innovations, the results of which are unknown and may very
easily prove to be disastrous. On the other hand, Mr. Roosevelt is of
restless, active, pioneering structure--the bony, muscular type of man who
has always led reform movements and led in fighting for changes he thought
would add to the freedom of humanity.

Mr. Taft's texture is finer than that of Mr. Roosevelt. He is, therefore,
more interested in the refinements, the luxuries, and the delicacies of
life than is Mr. Roosevelt. He is also less vigorous, less virile, and
less insistent upon reform and the right of the people to rule. It is an
interesting fact that most of the great friends of the people, most of
those who are eager in demanding the rights of the proletariat, are men of
medium or coarse texture.

Mr. Taft is soft elastic in consistency of fiber, while Mr. Roosevelt is
hard elastic. This indicates more impressionability or amenability to
influence, more desire for finding an easy and pleasant way to accomplish
his end on the part of Mr. Taft than on the part of Mr. Roosevelt.

In Mr. Taft the vital element leads--in Mr. Roosevelt, the motive. The
vital element conduces to putting on of flesh, enjoys the good things of
life, loves an easy time, and naturally inclines to make the best of
things as they are. On the other hand, the motive element demands outdoor
activity, freedom, liberty of movement, and not only liberty for itself,
but liberty for everyone else.

Mr. Roosevelt's jaw is square and determined, which shows an inclination
to push things through regardless of obstacles; to pursue his ends no
matter what difficulties stand in the way. Mr. Taft's jaw is rather
rounded and not so prominent. This indicates less determination, less
perseverance, less persistence in pushing against obstacles and
difficulties.

Note the difference in width between Mr. Roosevelt's and Mr. Taft's head
just above the ears. Mr. Roosevelt is very wide-headed. This indicates
energy, aggressiveness, impatience, a certain amount of destructive
tendency. It is this which not only makes Mr. Roosevelt an aggressive,
eager, fighting, dominating politician and statesman, but also a mighty
hunter.

On the other hand, Mr. Taft's head is medium narrow just above the ears.
This indicates mildness, an inclination to use diplomacy rather than
force, and a tendency to take things as they are rather than to push ahead
aggressively and make radical changes.
