TAFT REFUSED SUPREME BENCH OFFERINI3O2 Denied Himself Goal of Career to Heed Call of Philippines. fcdJtor’a NU: Hfre It th ttcond of a tenet of trttrlet on the etreer of William Howard Taft, former Frewidetit and retired thief Justic of the United Mate*. BY HERBERT LITTLE. United Prets Staff Correai>ondent WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.—William Howard Taft, whose ambition from boyhood on, was the supreme court, refused an appointment to the court proffered by his closest friend, Theodore Roosevelt, In 1902. Taft disregarded the knock of fortune on his door, for he found greater opportunity where he was then, acting as godfather to the Philippine Islands. When Taft, solicitor-general, and Roosevelt, civil sendee commissioner, met in 1890, they became fast friends in a bond which profoundly affected American political history. The breaking of the bond was destined to affect the nation even more. A short time after Will and Theodore met, they went their ways, Roosevelt to become Governor of New York and then Vice-Presi-dent and President, and Taft to “settle down for life” in a lifetime federal judgeship. President Harrison appointed him in 1892 to a judgeship in the sixth circuit, embracing Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. His associates were Judge William R. Day, later a supreme court Justice, and Judge H. H. Lurton. The young judge—he was only 35

Taft was pitchforked out of his judgeship by President McKinley and Secretary of War Eliliu Root, The Job was to establish civil government in the turbulent Philippines, where Aguinaldo and his followers had been stirring up rebellion since American military rule supplanted Spanish military rule. Taft held meeting in each province to discuss plans for government with the native leaders. His genial and hearty good nature and his honesty made him popular. He learned to dance at the native “bailes.” He helped set up provincial governments, courts and,

most of all, schools. School teachers were brought from the United States. Brigands were put down with the iron hand of the military. In 1904 Roosevelt brought Taft home to be secretary of war. He assumed the job of administering the construction, just then starting of the Panama canal, in addition to overseeing the war department and the Philippines. When Taft found a breathing spell in 1907, Roosevelt told him he was to be President. Roosevelt’s great organization, under his orders put Taft across in the 1908 Republican convention and election, and Roosevelt sailed triumphantly away to hunt lions in Africa.

WRITING LOST ART Passport Division Installs Machine •Penmen.’ By Science Service WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. Penmanship has become a lost art in this country to such an extent that the passport dvision of the state department hereafter will utilize specially built passport writing machines. “We have had an increasingly difficult time each year to get legible penmen to write our passports,” the director of the passport division explained to the house appropriations committee. “This past year during the rush season the civil service commission simply could not furnish them to us. “We went through various registers, even to the librarian’s register, trying to find legible penmen. “Penmanship is becoming a lost art, and apparently if you have it these days you have nothing else. “That has been my experience. If I find a good penman, there is very little else that goes with it.” If we represent the earth by a single grain of sand in New York City, the nearest star in proportional size and distance would be a six-inch globe in Juneau, Alaska.
