Mr.. Taft Naturally Annoyed.

Secretary GarrisOn's assertion that
Mr.. Taft's lcriticism of the Philippine
government was mendaciously and
mischievously partisan may have been
too violent. In this matter the former
president is not necessarily a partisan
He sees lot Of office-holders, all good
Republicans, out of jobs which now
are held by Filipinos, and he grieves
as might a father for his children.
Instead of calling this partisanship
we should say it was affection and
philanthropy. AS the chief represen-
tative of the Republican patriarchate,
it is perfectly natural for Mr.. Taft
to mourn the lost tribes in the Philip
pines, and not only eulogiZe them but
say some unkind things of the Philis-
tines who have seized their offices.
Nobody is better, qualified to pro-
nounce these carpet-baggers absolute
ly Indispensable than Mr.. Taft him
self, for he appointed most Of them in
the first place. 1t is surprising that
Mr.. Garrison cannot distinguish the
difference between parental and polit7
ical anxieties.
