Ambition Has Lain Toward Office

fined his status as to progressiveness,
pleaded guilty to being a very poor
politician, acknowledged again that
his ambition had lain in the direc-
tion Of the cFfice Of chief rather than
the presidency, admitted that he
would have undoubtedly made many
mistakes, but asserted that while as
President he had tried TO do what he
thought was right. what the future
held for him he did not know.
Taft declared he was not allied
with the extremists of his parey,
neither conservatives or progressives,
but had tried to make a middle
ground between the two.
But we middle-of-the-roaders be
lieve we are the real progrssives, be-
cause you do not make progress in
great strides"
President in Serious Mood

mood. lie declared that, while it
might not be for some time, the peo-
pie in the end would recognize the
differences between progressiyes and
platform declarations written for
campaign purposes,

feat of the reciprocity in Canada.

Revives Philippine Issue.
At a banquet of the Knights OF
Columbus tonight President Taft
took up the Philippine question. He
said he might be accused of reviv-
ing dead issue, but the issue could
hardly be regarded as dead so long
as the Democratic party continues to
write into it's platform. A declara-
tion for the REIMBURSEMENT Of the
islands, and so long as resolutions
continued to be introduced in con-
gress looking to the REIMBURSEMENT
of these islands.

edent retired aboard his train prep
aratory to departing for st. Louis.

issued an order in which is set forth
"the hypnotic influence of music, as
employed by wizards and witches"

which rat-catchers can lure their prey
