1t was In 1900 that Mr.. Taft made

Taft Is the man you want.-he's on

teiegraphed Taft to come to Washing

idea what was wanted OF him. He was
amazed when told 1t was desired he
go to the Philippines and try to create
a nation out OF that crude, peculiar.
pickering. heterogeneous. unpromising
human mass. Taft did not want to go.
and said SO frankly, adding that his
ambition was for judicial. not execu-
tive work. But here is one Of the
most difficult tasks now confronting
our nation, said Mckinley. "You are
the man to do it. You must help me
out. 1t Is your duty" And because
he. too, saw that it was his duty, and
for no other reason, Taft at length
assented. In this way Taft started
upon the real wark of his life. giving
up his ambition, his congen!al post,
taking on responsibility in which no
one could see aught but killing work
and yexation and possibly failure ut
