WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT

In the death of Chief Justice
William Howard Taft, which oc-
cured last Saturday, the nation
has lost one of it's most able and
distinguished public officials.
Today, he lies in Arlington Gene
terry, the first Commander in
Chief of the United States to find
resting place among the heroic
dead of our country, He is the
only man in history who has been
both President and Chief Jnstice.
Taft graduated from Yale in
1878. studied law, was admitted
TO the bar, and during the ten
years that followed he engaged
in State politics in Ohio having
fi lated himself with the Repub.
lican party In 1890 he was
made Solicitor General of the
United States, which Office he
held two years. During that
time he became a very close
friend of Theodore Roosevelt.
In'1892. he became a Judge in the
United States Circuit Court and
held this position until 1900,
when he was appointed Presid
ent of the Philippine Commits
sion. Here he won the confid
ence of the natives, formed a ru.
dimentary nation and served as
the first Civil Governor of the
islands,
In 1904, he was appointed Sec.
rotary of War in Roosevelt's
cabinet; where he served until
1905 when he was nominated for
the Presidency, and elected by
an overwhelming majority. In
1912, he was re-nominated for
President, but was defeated be-
cause of a split in the party.
Taft then retired to his law
practice until 1921 when he was
appointed Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court by President
Harding; thus realizing his life
long ambition. Here he served
faithfully until early last month
when he was forced to retire
because of failing health.
