Against all these abuses and in the
work for restoring old ideals of hon.
esty and equality, as we'll as for higher
standards of civic duty, one man has
stood pre-eminent, and that man is
Theodore Roosevelt. Against corrup-
ton in every form he has set his face
with grim determination, prompt and
fearless in action and with that in
telligent leadership which has assured
the establishment of a better era in
which the strong and the weak alike
must submit themselves to the impair
tial execution of the law. There was
need of a strong, courageous spirit to
restrain those destructive forces which
have asserted themselves in this time
of growth and plenty. The story of
his achievements will make up one OF
the brightest pages in the history of
this or any age and will prove that to-
day, as in any critical hour of social
unrest or Of danger, the man will ap-
pear who can grapple with the emer-

Who So Fit?
Who so fit to take up the tasks which
this wondrous generation demands
should be wisely and impartially per-
formed as his great war secretary
Since the day when, in Benjamin Harri-
sons administration, these two first
met-the one as solicitor general, LIE
other as a member of the civil service
commission,-they have been bound to-
gether by like ideals and aims, by close
ties of friendship, and by the exchange
of mutual counsel, each with his own
individuality and characteristics keep
ing constantly in view the ennobl1ng
vision of a better and a greater Amer
lea. They have not been satisfied that
the Temple of Prosperity should De
decked alone by the jewels of the fort
innate and the opulent, but have insist
ed that it should still more abound IN
trophies which commemorate the en-
forcement of even-handed justice and
the maintenance of that equal oppor-
tunity which spreads hope and blessing
even to the humblest home. since the
day when, less than 80 years of age
Mr. Taft denounced, With burning
words, a member of his profession who
had been guilty of fagrantly vicious
practices and had demoralized the
community, he has ever been assoc1a-
ted with the cause of true reform
with that reform which will not content
itself with academic dissertation OF
hollow words. He has been 1mbueo
with the spirit of action. His advoca-
CIV of sounder conditions has never
arisen from desire for the explolta-

presidential char who had received a
more ideal preparation for the duties
Of that great office. AS judge in state
and federal courts, as solicitor general
as governor of the Philippines, as Sec
rotary of war, which has included the
work of colonial secretary and direc-
tor of national public works, he has
received his training and has always
shown himself master Of the situation
and competent to make more honorable
and beloved the American name There
have been no years of inaction in mis-
career. He has been continuously en-
gagged in weighty tasks and each sue
cessive service has been characterized
by an increasing influence upon most
vital questions
In our domestic affairs, in whatever
position he has held, he has displayed
the rare union of a judicial tempera
ment with an unsurpassed gift for
administrative management To him
belongs the extremely valuable faculty
of eliminating the non-essential from
complicated problems and going di-
rectly to their substance. His capacity
for work is enormous. yet quite as
helpful is his equable temperament,
which will not allow the annoyances
of life to distract or hamper him. AL
though of an aggressive personality
he possesses an infinite good nature, a
charm Of manner and pose which have
made him model for exalted station
In the final analysis even the highest
officials must be judged as men, and
under this criterion Secretary Taft Is
now and will ever he known for his
broad sympathies with every grade of
humanity and as one invariably actu-
ated by that democratic spirit which
should characterize a progressive
American. And yet no one can for
moment hesitate to recognize his Sc
verify in dealing with wrong-doing.
While no honest enterprise need fear
him, no dishonest scheme could hope to
hide its face from the light or to es-
cape punishment. --.---. ---.-- .------
His Public Record.
More than any other of our public
men he has had to do with our outly-
ing dependencies and colonial relations.
1t was he who took in charge the
prosecution of that colossal enterprise
on the Isthmus, the canal uniting the
lesser and the. greater oceans, and
under his directing hand the compile
ton of this most stupendous of public
works is no longer vague and dis
tant hope, but an imminent reality.
Gator, he restored tranquility in the

Philippines. under a blazing tropical
