"WHY NOT TAFT"

Editor Clark Howell, of The Consti-
tuition, was the first, we believe to
make suggestion that was formine
in the minds OF great many of the
best people of the South. He suggests
that it would be a gracious act, on the
part of President Wilson, to appoint
eX-President Taft to the associate
judgeship made vacant by the death
Of Justice Lurton.
The Constitution has been over
whelmed with letters from democrats,
confederate veterans, and others, com
mending the suggestion of Judge Taft
for this high office.
Those who have known Mr.. Taft
from his boyhood declare that in all
positions of honor, trust, and respon-
sibility that he has been called to fill
he has been kind-hearted, fair, fear
less, and conservative. When he was
in the Philippines, as president of the
United States Philippine commission,
the natives caller him "Santo" Saint

CARBAJAL MANY YEARS LEADER
IN LAW AND POLITICS IN MEXICOI

Francisco Carbajal, whom the Mex
lean congress has elected provisional
president to succeed Gen. Yictoriano
Huerta, despite, the fact that he is only
48 years old, has been for many years
considered one of the leading lawyers
of Mexico.
President Carbajal is one of the
Mexican aristocracy, There is nothing
of the bellicose about him. He is gen
tie hammered and gentle spoken. He is
highly educated He is a white and not
black Mexican, in that he is of al
most pure Castilion origin.
Carbajal practically was unknown
outside of Mexico prior to the spring
of 1911. He had been for few years
prior to April of that year justice OF
the Mexican supreme court, an Office
which he owed to the friendship of
Porfirio Diaz, who previously had
shown his friendship for him when for
brief time he sent him to Costa
RIGA as the Mexican Minister.
Diaz's Envoy to MaderO.
When, in the spring of 1911, the fall
of the Diaz regime was admitted even
in Mexico City to be a matter of only
few weeks it became necessary for the
Diaz government to treat with Fran
cisco l. Madero.
So President Diaz announced that he
had appointed Carbajal as a peace
commissioner to treat with Madero. He
notified Madero of Carbajal's appoint
ment, and the victorious rebel chief
tain named Francisco Madero, Sr.,
his aged father; Jose Pine Suarex,
who was to be his vice president, and
was to be his companion in death
year later, and DR.. Vasquez Gomez as
the revolutionary representatives to
discuss terms of peace with Carbajal
May 2, 1911 Carbajal arrived in Ell
Paso, and the next morning he met
the Malero commissioners. The meet
ing place was under a cottonwood
tree at the foot of a barren hill on
the outskirets of Juarez, near the Rio
Grande.
Madero was present, and at the end
of the conference it was announced
that peace was in sight. Matters did
not progress satisfactorily, however,
and May Madero announced that the
armistice with Diaz was terminated,

Taft.
Mr.. Taft never aspired to be presi-
dent of the United States. His own
mother was authority for the state
ment that, as a younger man, he
looked forward to a seat On the Su-
preme Bench as the greatest honor TO
be desired.
1t is not because Mr.. Taft would
look with favor upon the appointment
that his name is being urged by dem
ocrats and democratic newspapers. In
the first place, he is probably better
equipped and qualified for the position
than any other man in Ameria to-
day. In the second place, Mr.. Taft's
appointments while he was president
won for him a warm place in the
hearts of the South, and entitled him
to the consideration of Southern
democratic President.
Taft, republican, appointed Lurton,
democrat Taft a unicn man, APP
pointed Lurton, a confederate veteran.
Taft, Northern man and a repubH-
can, elevated Justice White, a South,
erner and democrat to the Chief
! rusticeship.
In these appointments President Taft
attributed largely to bringing the
0hasm and healing the wounds of tn,

'Nd not political we hope that Presi-
lent Wilson will see fit to be as good

Southerners.

Dointment of ex-President Taft, by
President Wilson, would bring a ma
ton to its feet cheering"

HOnOred Also By Huerta.

When Huerta was made provisional
president following the killing of
Madero, Carbajal was one of the
keen lawyers to whom he looked for
expert advice. Huerta showered hon
ors on Justice Carbajal. First he
sent him to London as Mexican Am
bassador, but soon recalled him, and
when Carbajal arrived home he
named him chief justice of the SUI
preme court. In January of last year
it was said she for time considered
the advfsability of sending Carbajal
to Washington as an emissary to the
government of the United States. This
plan, however, was abandoned AMI
Carbajal remained in Mexico City as
the chief justice of the highest court.
The name of Carbajal was in No
vember last first mentioned as the
probable successor of Huerta. At that
time Huerta promptly denied the &C
curacy of the report and when tn
United States secretary of state was
asked about the rumor he replied that
he had never before heard of Justice
Carbaial.
