mark that Governor Magoon has
cmphatically made good in that isanC
and that the Taft administrator is
likely to find some useful and inn
I,ortant place for him when his term
of service ends in Cuba. 1t is suS-
E"stcd in Washington that Governor
MaEoon is likely to be the next Socre-
tary of War. He began his service il

shown him to be one of the best ad-
