TIE GREAT POLITICAL THOUGHT.

The greatest political thought in the
world Is that embodied in the dcclara.
ton of independence, namely, that all
men are created equal This Is the
basis of popular government, and pop.
ular government is spreading. It does
not mean that men are. or will be,
equal in physical strength, in intel.
lectual ability, in moral character or
in wcalth--it simply means that God
never gave to one human being a
natural right that he denied to any
other human being, and that in the
contemplation of government, all must
stand equal before the law Out OF
this basic principle. all other political
principles grow and by It all methods
of government and all policies must be
measured

HOW TAFT WAS SOUGHT By
M'KINLEY.

The Manner in Which the Republi-
can Candidate Was Called to
Larger Sphere OF Action.
One afternoon early in 1900, when
Judge William H. Taft was debating
decision of the United States Court
in the Federal Building in Cincinnati,
a telegram was placed in his hands.
He tore off the envelope and was sur
prised to find telegram from Presi-
dent William Mckinley, reading:
Il shall take it as a great favor if you
will call on me some time next week
Judge Taft guessed at the meaning
of the summons and guessed wrong.
He went to Washington and was shown
into room at the White House, where
he met the President and Secretary
Long of the Navy Later, Elihu Root,
the Secretary Of War, came in. Then,
to use Mr.. Taft's own words:
MIR. Mckinley said that he wanted to
send me to the Philippines to help in the
work of establishing civil government as
the army moved on. / thought of my
place on the bench and hesitated Be
sides, | believed and said we could get
along without the Philippines.
But we have them and must take
care of Them the President replied.
You are at the turning of the ways
in your life Mr.. Root then observed.
The bench is the easy road. You can
stay there and be comfortable. On the
contrary, the Philippines will demand per-
sonal sacrifices and risks and much hard
work, but you will have an opportunity
of doing your country a very great SER
vice | went home, and argued the mat
ter for two weeks"
The telegram to Cincinnati opened
the door of American history to VII
liam H. Taft and made him the Repub-
lican candidate for President Of the
United States.

Some years ago-in 1874, to be exact
there was Taft reunion in Tx
bridge, to which descendants of tho
original Robert Taft came fiocking
from all parts of the country. one OF
the conspicuous features of the affair
was a historical address by AlphOnso
Taft. father of the present Republican
candidate. He traced the history Of
various branches of the family, and
when he came to the one to which he
and his children belonged he said;
Our family have not embarked much
upon national politics, except that they
have shared in the battles Of the coun-
try when national independence was
to be won, and also when the Union
was at stake. But brilliant political
! careers have not been characteristic Of
