President

New York, Dec. 14-President-elect
William H. Taft, speaking at the ded-
ication of Mckinley memorial or
gan in Metropolitan temple, told-to
an audience which repeatedly inter-
rupted him with applause the story
of his official association with the
late president, and declared with ref
erence to the Philippine Islands that,
the policy laid down by Mr.. Mckinley
in 1900 had been the policy of the
present, as it will be the policy of his
own administration in the White
House.
'In February, 1900" said Mr.. Taft.
in relating the personal narrative of
his resignation from the bench and
entry into public life which in eight
years has brought him to the presi-
dency, while in the courthouse at
Cincinnati l received from Mr.. Nc
Kinley a telegram which read like
this: If you have no other engage
ment, you will do me a great favor
by calling on me in Washington some
time next week
81 did not know of any vacancy ex-
listing on the supreme court bench at
that time, but l went to Washington
just the same. Arriving at the White
House, l was ushered into the cabi-
net room and there | met the presi-
dent. Judge he said, I'd like to
have you go to the Phi lirpines.' l
said, Mr.. President, what do you
mean by going to the Philippines?'
He replied, We must establish q
government there and / would like
for you to help But, Mr.. President,
said, I am sorry we have got the
Philippines. I don't want them and
l think you ought to have some man
who is more in sympathy with the
situation You don't want them any
less than do replied the president,
but We gave got them and in dealing
with them, think l can trust the
man who didn't want them better
than can the man who uld.'"
Mr.. Taft paid a striking personal
tribute to the character of Mr.. Nc
Kinley and declared that it was pecu~
liarly fitting that an organ should be
dedicated to him whose whole life
