No, dear reader, the above is not a
late photograph, SO there's no need
of getting excited. To be exact, it
was taken during the last presidential
campaign, when Mr.. Taft was Dear
WIZ and Mr.. Roosevelt was Dear
Theodore
All, what honeyed words Will and
Theodore used in describing each
other to the public! What noble
tributesi What generous praise!
Looking back Just four years we find
Mr.. Roosevels saying on September ..
1908:
IT have a peculiar interest in the
success of Mr.. Taft, and in, seeing
him backed by a majority in both
houses of congress which will heartily
support his policies. For the last ten
years, while have been governor of
New York and president, I have been
thrown into the closest intimacy with
him, and he and / have, on every
essential point, stood in heartiest
agreement, shoulder to shoulder. We
have the same views as to what is
demanded by the national interest
and honor, and as regards the rela-
tions with other nations There is
no fight for decency and fair dealing
which I have waged, in which have
not had his heartiest and most effec-
tive sympathy and support, and the
policies for which I stand are his
policies as much as mine"
MIR. Taft's Tribute.
Mr.. Taft was not to be outdone. He
was fnaugurated on March 4, 1909. and
just two days later there appeared in
Golfers Weekly above the signature
of the president this remarkable tri-
butte to my Predecessor:
mo one associates closely with Mr..
Roosevelt without having the strong
est possible affection for him. His
mind, his disposition and his tenn
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1912-09-14

perement are all of that class that
would rather make him agree than
disagree with the people with whom
he comes in contact. But this is not
to say that he does not enjoy a con-
troversy and a fight according to the
rules of the game. for he does. He
believes as strongly as possible In
team work, and I never served under
any other man, or hope to serve un-
der another man, so intensely loyal
to the cause which we were both
seeking to uphold and so generous
in his acceptance of the full respon-
sfbflity for his subordinates in the
work as Theodore Roosevelt. I never
served under another who was as
generous in his praise of those who
worked with him and who was as
willing to accord more than their
deserts to the men who were shoulder
to shoulder with him in the fight.
That characteristic of his has been
calculated to tie men to him with
bonds of steel.
THE relation between Mr.. Roosevelt
and myself has been one of close and
sweet intimacy. 1t has never been
ruffled in the slightest degree, and 1
do not think that we have ever mis-
understood each other.
When the friction Of the last few
months shall be forgotten, when the
mists of momentary irritation shall
have disappeared, the greatness of
Theodore Roosevelt as president and
leader Of men in one of the great
moral movements of the country's his
tory will become clear to everyone
and he will take his place in history
with Washington and Lincoln

ago. Now Dear VIII" and Dear

the island. The gunboat Petrol is
already in Santo DOMINICAN waters.
The custom houses of the island
controlled by the United States by
treaty must be protected against seizure
by the revolutionists. Further than
that, advices this morning conveyed
news of so serious nature that the
state department began preparations
for immediate activity.
OLD PROMOTERS AT WORK.
The latest outbreak is believed to
be promoted by the prime movers in
the recent insurrection which cul-
minated in the battle Of Dajabon, Au-
gust 4-6, when that place was taken
by the revolutionists.
s Latest reports to the state depart
ment indicate that Notwithstanding re-
assuring promises from the Dominican
government, that revolution never has
been completely suppressed but has
smouldered only to break out afresh
and with greater intensity.
Officials here believe the movement
has been fomented by junta in New
