White House Is no place for q Judge.
AS lawglyer and governor OF
Manila, Taft had won the confidence
of his oriental subjects, and rather
than desert his post, before his task
was finished, he sacrificed the dearest
ambition Of his life. In year and
a half Roosevelt had him in his cab
met as secretary Of war-and soon
had him in his eye for the presidency.
Roosevelt had the weakness of his
strength. He thought he was strong
enough to make president But
real presidents are born, not made.
The moment Roosevelt was gone,
the standpatters. the reactlOnary
forces, emerged from their seven and
one-half years in the cyclone cellar.
The moment the political brOnch0 felt
the tenderfoOt on It's back, 1t bucked,
and threw Taft from the seat OF leader
ship. The next thing the rank and
file Of Republicans knew, the party
was slipping back lgto the old rut
from which Roosevelt had jerked 1t
when first he laid upon 1t his master.
full hand.
But the people refused to 20 back.
Eight months after Taft's innugura-
tlon. the election Of 1909 sounded q
clear warning Of the disaster that
overwhelmed the party in the congress
sional election Of 1910. and which all
but destroyed 1t In the presidential
election Of 1912.
According to story that was told
Of Taft. curious stranger asked q
gatckeeper at the Union station in
Washington where he would stand the
best chance Of seeing the presl-
dent In the few spare hours tina. he
had between trains. "Right where
you are" was the reply. "He's al
ways either taking train or getting
off OF one"
Taft was the first president to draw
the present salary of $4,000. Con
gross had also adopted, two year, be-
fore he came In, the custom Of allow
ing $4,000 yearly for the travelling
expenses Of the president, and he be
came the great presIdeptlal traveller,
making a record of 10000 miles In
four years, as he went about the
country appealing for reversal Of
the verdict against his administration.
In vain he strove to turn back the tide,
which only sported with him.
After having elected him ty 1900.
GOO plurality, the people parted with
Taft more in sorrow than In anger.
They did not question that he was
gooG ole.fdent but that Is secondary
Consideration. A president must be
flrst of all a politician and leader.
