Secretary OF Peace.

This combative altrusm is Mr.. Tafts
most distinguished characteristic. AS
Secretary of War he has earned the
worldwide sobriquet of Secretary Of
Peace" lie has fought some hard bat
ties but they were with bloodleSs
weapons, and the results were victor
les for peace. The greater the degree
the harder and more persistent his bat
tie The greatest struggle Of his career,
in which he disregarded utterly his set
tied ambition, and checrfully faced a
continuing serious menace to life itself,
was on behalf of the weakest and most
helpless object in whose cause he was
ever enlisted-the Filipino people. That
was the purest and loftiest altruism.
But although this is the dominant
trait Of Mr.. Taft, he is well known
for other qualities. His judicial tenn
permanent, founded upon a deep-seated,
comprehensive and ever alert sense Of
right and wrong; his courage, proved
/ by repeated and strenuous tests; his
calm, imperturbable Judgment and his
all embracing sympathy are character
| istics that have been often and widely
noted. They are his by right Of inhe,-
itance from generations of broadmind-
! ed, upright men and women. The d.

the range Of his opportunity and given
! greater scope to his activities than was
enjoyed by Alphonso Taft, his father,
