Must Be Enforced as Orju-

TAFT ISSUES STATEMENT
HIS INTERVENTION IN FACE OF
THE EXPLICIT COMMAND OF
THE PRESIDENT MAY BRING A
NEW FACE INTO THE CABINET,
Publishers Press1

Washington, Nov. 21.-The war de-
partment issued the following state
ment concerning the negro troops or
dered dismissed at Fort Reno:
1'In the matter OF the order dis
charging the enlisted men of the three
companies OF the Twenty-fifth infan-
try issued by the president, applica-
ton was presented to the secretary of
war by a number of persons of stand
ing asking for rehearing by the
president, on the ground on which the
action was taken. The secretary tel
egraphed the president of the applica-
ton and delayed the proceedings of
the discharge until the president
could indicate his wishes. The secre-
tary was meantime called out Of town.
No answer was received from the
president The secretary on his re-
turn did not feel justified in further
delaying the execution of the order Of
the discharge, especially in view Of
the fact that the secretary then learn
ed that the president had fully and
CAA10SLANS1y COdSlQCiCO lIiS oil
against the order of the persons who
applied for a rehearing. Accordingly
the secretary directed that the pro-
ceedings for discharge be continued
without delay"
Secretary Taft received a dispatch
from President Roosevelt and issued
the following additional statement:
"A telegram was received from the
president after the previous state
ment was given out at the war depart
ment, in which he declined to suspend
facts OF such Importance as to war
rant cabling him. He states that the
action was taken after due delibera-
ton, and that the only matter to
which he can pay heed is the presen-
tation Of facts showing the official re-
ports to be in whole or in part untrue
or clearly exculpating some individ-
ual. If such facts later appear he can
account as he deems advisable, but
thus far nothing has been introduced
to warrant the suspension of the or
der, and he directs it be executed"
Secretary Taft says that immediate

soldiers to replace the men discharg
ed. The members OF the three COM
panies, who were on furlough at the
time of the Brownsville affair and
three members who are to be tried
by courtmartiaI viii not be mustered
out.
Secretary Taft flew straight in the
face of the president when he sus-
pended the order directing the dis
charge without honor of three COM
panies of the Twenty-fifth infantry
for declining to divulge the names of
the soldiers who 'shot up the town
Of Brownsville, Tex.
President Roosevelt is an arbitrary
man and the outcome OF the differ
ence between him and the secretary
of war is awaited with much interest
and anxiety. 1t is conceded that seri-
Gus results may follow, as serious as
retirement of Taft from the cabinet

The Wisdom Of Youth.

This miscalled wisdom of experience is
the old siren song OF worldliness, sung
in the ears OF the jewellers in Mesopota-
mia before there were sails on the Med
terranean. 1t is the philosophy of the
men and women. who have exchanged
their ideals for their comfort and be-
cause their ideals no longer live with
them, believe that ideals have ceased 10
exist for everybody else. Such a man
looks out of the window of his well-fur-
nished and comfortable room and shrugs
his shoulders as he sees youth storm
past, ardent, impetuous, filed with great
hopes; and goes back to his fire and
thinks himself wise, and does not know
that he is the typical fool of whom the
Bible tells us, who said, There is no
God!' This prudent, calculating, doubt
full attitude toward life would be sound if
1t We're not based on the fundamental err
ror that there is no God. In Hamlet"

were God. But because the devil is not
God it is the most short-sighted policy
In the world. The wisdom of youth faith
