ORDER OUT OF CHAOS.
Secretary Taft Established Real
Self-Government for Cuba.


Aside from the Philippines and the
canal the greatest call that has been
made upon Mr.. Taft since he became
Secretary Of War came from Cuba.
This was case largely similar to the
Philippine problem. When our inter-
vention had freed Cuba from the Span
ish yoke we deemed it sufficient insur-
ance Of successful government for the
Cubans to require them to adopt con-
stitution before we turned the island
that Cuba had no experience Of consti-
tutions or understanding of their func-
tons. So when Cuba had conformed to
our requirement we sailed away from
Havana and left her to work out her
own salvation unaided and untaught.
The result OF that folly was inevi-
table and not long delayed. The Gu
bans having adopted constitution they
had not the slightest idea Of what to
do with it. They proceeded to govern
under the only system of which they
had any knowledge. The proclamation
of the President took the place of the
cid royal decree. He created by his
fiat the departments of government
law of Congress under authority of the
constitution.
The experiment was aimed toward
chaos and its expectation was quiciSy
realized. In September, 1906, the Unit
ed States had to intervene again, and
the task fell on Mr.. Taft. With his
experience of the Filipino as guide
and the magnetism Of his personality
as lever, Mr. Taft placated the war
ring factions and secured peaceable in
PREVENTION. Then he devised and set
up a provisional government which all
the Cubans accepted.
1t was the intention then to maintain
the government only long enough to
give the Cubans a fair election at
which they might select their own gov
eminent by full and free expression Of
their own will. But almost immediate
ly the provisional government discover
ed the fundamental mistake made by
the earlier American administration. 1t
found that the Cubans had been at
tempting to administer government
which never had been organized and
existed only by virtue Of the Presl-
dents will. Patiently the provisional
government set to work, under the di-
rection of Mr.. Taft, to provide the or
ganization under the fundamental law
which the Cubans had never known
was the essential of successful self
government. The work is now nearing
completion, and when next the Ameri-
cans quit Havana it will be after turn
ing over to the Cubans government
machine properly established and fully
equipped, whose operation they have
been taught to understand and control.
Thus, to two peoples has Mr.. Taft been
called upon to give instruction in prac-
tical government.

vital force for the curbing and punish
ment Of monopoly. When this case
reached the Supreme Court, Mr.. Taft
received the distinguished and unusual
honor of having his decision quoted in
full and handed down as part of the
opinions of the high court which sus-
tanned him at every point.
Pioneering the Roosevelt Policy.
This Addystone Pipe decision mark
ed the beginning Of the struggle for
federal control of interstate corpora
lions which in the later years has come
to be known as the Roosevelt policy"
Mr.. Taft in an address to the American
Bar Association at Detroit, in the sum-
mer of 1895, had enunciated the prin-
ciple on which President Roosevelt has
made his great fight for the suppress
sion of monopoly and the abolition of
special privilege. Thus Mr. Taft pio-
neered the way for the Roosevelt pol
icy."

NO PLACE LIKE AMERICA,

Call Coming Back to Adopted

Swedes Who Left at Fatherland'sl
Call Coming Back to Adopted
Land.
Since last October, when the period
of Industrial depression began In the
United States, more foreigners have re-
turned to Europe each month than have
come to the United States, with the eI.
ception Of the month of August, but
peculiar Significance attaches to tho
passenger list of the Lusitania, which
arrived in New York last week. The
big steamer had on board TOO Swedish
immigrants, $50 Of whom had returned
to Sweden last fall.
The returning sons Of Sweden left
the United States last fall when times
were bad in this country. They had
listened to the representations OF tho
Swedish government officials, plcturing
improved conditions across the ocean
and telling of the desire Of the Swedish
people to have their native sons come
home and help in the upbuildlng Of tho
nation. This appeal to patriotism,
coupled with the desire to see home
once more, was a potent factor In caus-
ing the exodus Of Swedes. Now they
are returning to America with stories
of disappointment.
When the Swedlsh-American citizens
returned to Sweden they found wages
higher than they had been in that coun-
try for years, but they also found that
the cost of living had grown, leaving
the margin of possible saving no larger
than in the old days. Above all, they
discovered that, owing to century-old
prejudices and customs the working
man could not live In Sweden in the
american way" the equal of his fell
low citizens and the enjoyer Of freedom
In thought and action. SO the Swedlsh-'
Americans are coming back ready to
make America their homes for the rest
of their lives.

A REAL HELPMEET.
Mrs. Taft Thinks Nothing Is Too
Good for Man Whose Name She

Bears.
To Mrs. Taft this presidential situa-
ton is almost the only thing in life
that does matter, and she makes no
attempt to act as if it didn't.
In visit to Hot Springs, Va, which
was made for the purpose of finding
out something about the daily life and
thought of Mrs. Taft during her sum-
mer there, thus much was easily dis
coverable. She desires the presidency
for her husband, and she furthermore
is trying to help him get 1t. Her place,
rather than in any Of the above indi-
Gated circles, is among the rooters, on
the band wagon high up, or in the van
of the campaign advance agents.
She thinks that only the best life has
to offer is great and good enough for
her husband, and If the concentrated
power Of the nation, aided by her own
personal efforts, can get it for him, it
is to be his. And this attitude repre-
sents the Mrs. Taft Of to-day. Per
haps she has other distinguishing
marks and characteristics, but they
have now faded into the unimportant
She is never so weary as to be indif-
ferent, never so depressed by the attic
tons of the flesh as to be inactive in
her campaign duties, self-imposed, and
never so beset by things in all Of their
perverseness as to be impatient with
the situation.
Indeed, she is the one who started
this presidential agitation in the Taft
family, and she means, whoever else
lays down on his job to see 1t prop
erly through. All during the long
hours of her summer at the springs her
mind forever is alert with the problems
of the campaign and their possible solu-
tions. And if she arrives at some of
them it will not be the first time that
her suggestions have guided our ship
of state.

What has been the result to the Uni
ted States of this so-called colonial
policy? Well, it has added to her trade
something over one hundred millions
of dollars. do not think that is i'm
portant except as beginning. If the
government continues its friendly policy
toward Porto Rico and the Philippines
and opens her markets as well to the
Philippines as to Porto Rico, this trade
will treble and quadruple in marvel
ously short time, so that merely from
the standpoint of material progress,
the mutual benefits for the people we
are helping and ourselves will be no
mean justification for the policy.-Hon.

Good Eject on Business.

Mr.. Bryan is continually asking why
some of the managers of unlawful
trusts have not been convicted and sent
to the penitentiary? / sympathize
with him in his wish that this may be
done, because I think that the impris-
onment OF one or two would have a
most healthy effect throughout the
country but even without such i'm
prisonment, believe that the prosecu-
lions which are now on foot and the
injunctions which have already been
issued have had marked effect on
business methods.-IIon. VIM. Ii. Taft,

BRISTOW ON TAFT.
Leader in Kansas Campaign Details
Judge Taft's Great Achievements.

Judge Taft'S Great Achievements.
(From Joseph L. Bristow's Speech at
Independence, Kan.)
"rhe greatest issue in this campaign,
however, is the personality Of the two
men and the effect that would follow
the election of either. Mr.. Taft, as
has been so aptly said by Mr.. Hughes
that has ever been nominated for the
presidency, and this declaration has
been enlarged upon by the great Dem
ocratic leader in New York, Bourke
Cochran, who says that he is the best
equipped man ever offered for the pres
idency of any republic. Mr.. Taft was
great judge. He has profound legal
learning; his opinions while on the
judicial literature and sound reasoning.
When Mckinley sought man to take
the government Of the Philippines, an
archipelago of 1,400 islands inhabited
by races speaking 100 different Ian
guages and dialects, people represent
ing almost every stage of civilization
from the savage to the enlightened, he
selected Mr.. Taft as the best equipped
ing the high judicial position he held,
Mr.. Taft went to the Philippines and
his administration of the affairs Of that
dependency is pointed to by the politi-
cal writer's and economists as the model
of colonial government Of all time.
Nothing like it has ever been presented
in the history of the race.
Taft In the Philippines.
"When called by President Roosevelt
from the Philippines to take charge Of
larger and wider responsibilities, the
people of these islands were so devoted
to him, because of the kindness Of his
character and the justice Of his govern
ment, that they erected to him mag
nificent statue to stand In Manila, the
capital Of the archipelago, to commem-
crate their gratitude in the centuries
that are to come. When he came back
sibility Of Secretary Of War, the con-
struction of the Panama canal was
placed in his charge. This is the great
est engineering achievement that the
world has ever undertaken, and after
more than three years of the admins
tration Of this great work the results
have been almost miraculous. Three
million cubic yards of dirt and granite
are being excavated monthly and trans
ported to the dumping places, from five
to ten miles from the place Of excava-
ton. In this tropical climate, where
disease has been the deadly enemy Of
every enterprise undertaken heretofore,
where the construction Of the railroad
fifty-one miles long across the isthmus
has cost a human life for every tie
that was laid, we And to-day the health
of the men employed there as perfect
as If they were employed in Montgom-
cry county, Kansas. Yellow fever,
three years ago when l visited the 18TH
mus, was threatening the men who
were on the isthmus. This direful dis
ease has been conquered and not case
has appeared for two and one-half
years. The entire force engaged In this
stupendous enterprise is so perfectly
organized and works with such me-
chanical precision that there is not a
Jar and not suspicion Of scandal. 1t
is the most marvellous exhibition Of adj
ministrative skill and judgment that
has ever been given to the world"

What Taft VIII DO.

Here is positive declaration by
William II. Taft which should reassure
the friends OF President Roosevelt:
"If elected propose to devote all the
ability that is in me to the constructive
work Of suggesting to Congress the
means by which the Roosevelt policiesl
shall bs clinched."

On tho Federal Bench,

Mr.. Taft's record as solicitor general
so clearly proved his fitness for the
bench that after three years in Wash
ingon he was sent back to Ohio as
judge of the Sixth Federal Circuit. a
post generally recognized as a prelimi-
nary step to the Supreme Court, which
was then the goal of his ambition.
1t was during his seven years on the
federal bench that Mr.. Tafts qualities
as judge became known throughout
the country. He was called upon then
to decide some of the most important
cases that have ever been tried in the
federal courts, in the conduct of which
he established an enviable reputation
for learning, courage and fairness
three essential attributes of a great ju-
iist. His power of application and his
ability to turn off enormous masses of
work received ample demonstration
during this time. 1t was in this period
of his service that he rendered the la
Dor decisions which have made him
famous as an upright and fearless
and capital he showed that here was
n judge who knew no distinction Of
parties when they appeared as litigants
before him. He voiced the law as he
knew it and the right as he saw it, no
matter where the blow fell or whom it
struck. If sometimes the decisions
went against what organized labor at
that time believed to be it's cause, it
must not be forgotten that no clearer
oc broader statement of the true rights
of labor has even been made than in
some of his judicial utterances. Law
yers conducting litigation in other
courts on behalf of labor unions have
often cited these decisions of Judge
Taft in support of their contentious.
Neither should it be forgotten that one
of the most important and far reach
ing OF all his judgments was that
against the Addystone Pipe Company,
in which for the first time the Sher-
man antitrust law was made living,

TAFT AS LAWYER
AND JUDGE
Pioneered the Way for the "Roose-
welt Policy" Concerning
Trusts.
Successful as Lawyer in Important
Cases and Authority as
Jurist.

Mr.. Taft was hardly out Of his boy
hood when he was called to public Of
fee, and in most of the years since
then he has devoted himself to the pub
lie service First he was Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney Of Hamilton
County, under Miller Outcalt, now one
Of the leading lawyers of Ohio. In
Revenue for the First Ohio District,
and demonstrated the same ability in
business that he had shown in the law
A year later he resigned that Office
and went back to the practice of law,
with his fathers old partner, III. 2.
Lloyd. In 1884 he became the junior
counsel of a Bar Committee to con-
duct testament proceedings against
Campbell, whose methods Of practicing
law had brought on the hearing of
the Hamilton County Courthouse in
Cincinnati. Though technically unsuc-
cessful, Mr.. Taft made good reputa-
ton from his conduct of this matter,
and Campbell was drawn from Cincin-
County Solicitor. Two years later Gov
ernor Foraker appointed him Judge
Of the Superior Court, to succeed judi
son Harmon, who had resigned to enter
President Cleveland's cabinet.
His Judicial Career Begun.
His appointment as Judge of the SUI
perior Court was the beginning of the
judicial career which was Taft's am
bition, and for which he was so emf
nently fitted. He made such a record
as judge that at the close of his
appointed term he was triumphantly
elected for another term. But already
he had attracted attention outside his
State, and he had served but two years
of the five years for which he had been
elected when President Harrison asked
him to take the difficult position of So,
licitor General of the United States.
This was an Office Of the utmost i'm
portance, involving not only wide learn
Ing and tremendous application, but
the power of clear and forceful pres
entatiOn Of argument. Two of the
cases which he conducted as Solicitor
General involved questions Of vital i'm
portance to the entire country. The
first grew out of the seal fisheries con-
troversy with Great Britain. Mr.. Taft
won against such eminent counsel as
Joseph II. Choate, who is widely recog-
nized as leader of the American bar
The other was tariff case in which
the law was attacked on the ground
that Speaker Reed had counted quo
rum when the bill passed the House
That, too, he won. 1t was during his
term as Solicitor General that Mr.
Taft met Theodore Roosevelt, then
Civil Service Commissioner, and began
the friendship which has continued and
grown ever since and which has had
such far-reaching influence upon the
lives of both men.

The Panama Canal IL one Of the

! ~ Secretary Of War, Hon. William
=. Taft personally assumed the respon.
ability Of inaugurating the work and
systematically shaping up the practical
operations until q degree Of ef1ciency
has been reached that may well as
tonish the nations Of the earth.
Mr.. Taft has applied to this world
project and history making enterprise
those same qualities Of careful, thought
full investigation, penetrating judgment
and absolutely fair dealing, which have
made him so signally successful in the
performance Of all those duties Of state
which have brought him to the high
eminence he now occupies az n Of our
greatest living Americans.
Must Know Personally.
Like the Philippine project and other
great work laid upon him, he has
studied the situation at Panama at
close range and trusted to no second
hand information with which to in.
sure his success. There has been about
ninety million dollars expended on the
work to date and Mr.. Taft has had to
approve every dollar Of this expendi.
turs. He has not been satisfied with
a single visit to the isthmus, but has
made the long journey every year 50
that he might direct the work more
economically. The result is that he has
changed the situation there from an in.
hospitable region to a locality where
Americans a live in healthful sc.
curity without the fear Of plaques or
dread Of contagious diseases. The rate
Of mortality on the isthmus is about
the same as it Ia in our American cities.
Stages of tho Work.
Work on the canal has passed
through two stages, those of planning
and preparation. 1t is now in the third
and final stage, that Of construction.
Both of the earlier stages required the
presence of a large working force,
necessarily quartered in temporary and
make shift accommodations. Because
OF these conditions, inevitable at the
outset, early critics Of the enterprise
mistook the initial and temporary out
1T for permanent equipment.
Throushtful About Labor.
Mr.. Taft's chief concern has been the
proper care Of the laboring man on the
isthmus. Under his patient and an.
proved methods the terrible scourge
Of yellow fever, against which the
French struggled in vain, the filthy and
pest breeding state Of the principal
Panamanian towns, the rough labor
camps, and other pioneer hardships of
the two first eras, have been eliminated.
He has accomplished these things
through the activity of the Department
Of Sanitation, the Department Of Mu-
nicipal Engineering and the Building
Department. To-day we find yellow
fever driven from the isthmus. the
deadly stegomyia mosquito thus rem
dered %innocuous, malaria and pneu~
monia greatly reduced and a high
