Of being Secretary Of War as he was
popularity supposed to be some time
ago, Governor zsagoon IS reputed to
have lost a good deal of reputation cur

periors, especially Secretary Taft. are
not nearly so anxious 10 do things Cor
him as they used to be.
Governor MagoOn used to he pointed
to as another Taft; a man who had
carved for himself a career out Of the
opportunities Of the colonial service.
Governor of Philippines.
He was going to be governor Of the
Philippines. but Panama required at

boss OF the canal zone. To his credit

Position Difficult.
He found Cuba in sadly up-torn con-
dition, and his own position as temper
airy viceroy difficult IN the extreme. He
found graft rampant IN Havana, and
the means for its suppression few and
inadequate. he found Americans pro-
testing that they were given little con-
sIderaUon. and urging that the anti
American sentiment was actually InJur-

force was maintaining order IN the

he has lost standing with Secretary
Taft and with the President as well
because Of this hesitatiug and uncer-

boy who at the battle of Poisoned
Springs, Ark, April IS. '64, carried you
away from the rebels after they had
put hole thru your thigh. How they
hollered for US to stop or they would
blow our brains out when we were rum
ming down that hill! We didn't halt,
tho, only long enough for me to draw
the cork of my canteen and dash some
water in your face and give you drink
And the blood was squirting from your
wound at every step! How you begged
me to leave you or the rebels would
have us bothi I didn't leave you, did
l? Not till set you down behind that
big pine tree on the hill, where the rest
of the regiment wasi Frank, il you
are alive 1 want you to drop me a line.
Yes, or any of the rest of the boys who
may chance to see this, please write to
me. and we will talk over old times
Nels N. Olson, Sergeant, Co. A, 18th
Iowa, now known as Nels O. Noben,

Historical Questions.

Editor National Tribune: Please an
swer the following, and greatly oblige:
1. Name the IL most decisive battles of
the world.
2. Why did Gen. Grant choose the
route he did when he marched upon
Richmond, having so many rivers to
cross easily defended by Gen. Lee?
g. Why was Gen. Halleck retained in
chief command of the army to the
close of the war when it was believed
then, and has been to this day, that a
very large part of the failure of the
Union armies, both in the East and
West, was due to his administration? :?
You have so plainly shown this lately
in The National Tribune that am led
TO ask this questions. B. Ormsby, Bo-
hemia, Ore.
Greasy, the eminent historian, enum-
Grated IS battles as decisive events in
the worlds history. These were:
The National tribune., 1908-10-22

Gen. Grants reasons for choosing the
road were that he would interpose be-
tween Gen. Lee and Washington and
at the same time have his own rear all
the time so near his line of communi-
cations that his supplies could not he
cut off. All the time the Army of the
Potomac was quite near a water base,
from which it could draw its supplies
with the least amount of land carriage.
The military power of the Confederates
had to be crushed, and it was better to
have the power fought out where 1t wds
than transferred to some interior part
where the Confederates would be nearer
their own supplies and more difficult
for the Union army to reach.
Gen. Halleck was not continued in
command till the conclusion of the war,
but after Grants appointment as a
Lieutenant-General Halleck became lit
tie more than a Chief of Staff.-Editor

Mr.. Carnegie, who had been looking
