REASONS FOR WRIGHT.


Washington. June 20.-The CORES
pondence between the president and
Secretary Taft relating to the latter s
resignation, is very brief. Secretary
Taft simply said in his resignation:
81 hereby tender my resignation as
secretary of war to take effect June
80 next"
The president, in his reply. said:
Your resignation is hereby ac-
cepted to take effect June 30.'
1t was stated at the White House
that as the president so recently had
given out formal statement concern
ing his high esteem for Secretary Taft.
1t was not deemed necessary to re-
peat what was then said.
The statement given out at the
White House concerning Mr.. Wright s
appointment, says:
"As Philippine commissioner and
later as vice governor and governor
he won the affection and regard of the
army to a high degree and many of
the most distinguished Of the men who
served in the army at the time he was
in the Philippines have urged his ap-
pcintment because they felt in a
peculiar way that he was their cham
pion and in peculiar way under
stood them and their needs. This is
especially true as regarding the men
who were union veterans of the civil
war for these grew to feel that he
was always especially interested in
their welfare. rz ase
Moreover his great administrative
and legal ability both peculiarly 1T
him to deal with the problems In the
Philippines, Panama and Cuba for the
work of the war department is now
such that only a man with special fit
ness and unusual training is able to
do justice to It,. OF all the men in the
country the president feels that Luke
II lob &. h4r -
take up the work Of the department
which for the last seven years has
been under the control of Root and
then Taft. AS young man he was a
captain in the Confederate army. He
is one of the leading lawyers not only
He has also been foremost in advo-
eating and insisting upon fair treat
ment for the colored people. He first
definitely established his reputation in
the terrible days Of the yellow fever
epidemic at Memphis when he prac-
tically made himself mayor of the
town and took charge of all the relief
measures, showing what may justly
be called heroic devotion to duty and
Indifference to his own life together
with the masterful qualities of a sue
cessful administrator in a great crisis.
He was himself struck down by the
plague he was fighting, but lived to see
it stamped out and himself to take
part In introducing into Memphis the
hygientc measures which have since
made 1t one Of the model health cities
of the world.
HE was appointed by President
Mckinley as one Of the Philippine
commission and enjoyed President Nc
Kinley's heartiest confidence, being Sc
lected as one of the southerners who
were in sympathy with his administra-
ton. By Roosevelt he was promoted
first to be vice governor and then gov
ernor OF the Philippines and was
afterwards made first ambassador to
Japan. In all positions he served with
signal fidelity ana ability and has
been in hearty and outspoken agree
ment with the administration in all its
main policies"

LONDON VIEW OF TAFT.
Newspapers Pay High Tribute to the
Candidates Qualifications.

London. June 2o.-Most of the
morning newspapers and the weeklies
thus far issued printed editorials on
President Rooseveit's triumph in Sc
curing the nomination of Secretary
Tart for the presidency. The Daily
Chronicle says:
ITO save the life of his policies he
loses his life as president 1t is an
interesting phenomenon of the work.
Ing of the American constitution"
The Daily Graphic describes Mr..
Taft as an American Dauphin." add
ing:
There is something Napoleonic
about this creation of new dynastic
legitimacy under the shadow of the
stars and stripes"
All of the newspapers paw tribute
to Secretary Taft's great qualifications
for the high office to which he has
been nominated.
The chief point of the Republican
platform that Is attracting attention.
here is the fiscal plank. The nation
| thinks 1t should lead to a reduction in
the tariff in favor of free trading with
| Great Britain.
