Ntlll O l'.llZU- Roosevelt His (Written last March for the Outlook nnd published In current number,) A year ago a man of wide acquaintance both with American public life and Ameri can public men remarked that the first gov ernor of tho 1'hlllpplncs ought to combine tho qualities which would mako n first class president of tho United States with tho qualities which would mako a first class chief Justice of tho United States and that tho only man ho know who possessed all these qualities was Judgo William II. Taft of Ohio. Tho statement was entirely correct. Few moro dllllcult tasks hao devolved upon any man of our nationality during our century and a quarter of public llfo than tho handling of tho Phlllpplno Islands Just at this time, and It may bo doubted whether among men now living another could bo found as well fitted as Judgo Taft to do this Incredibly dllllcult work. Judgo Taft belongs to a family which has always dono valuable nubile service. Ho graduated from Yule In 1S7S and a few years later, when Yale gave hlni tho honorary degree of L.L. D., he was tho youngest of her graduates upon whom Bho had over conferred this honor. On graduation ho took up tho study of law and nlso entered actively Into public life. In both enrcors ho ro3e steadily and rap idly. Under President Harrison he was mado solicitor general of tho United States and ho left this place to becomo a Judge of tho United States district court. Hut his weight In public life was some thing entirely apart from tho ofllco ho at any tlmo happened to hold. I dlsllko speaking In hybcrbole, but I think that almost all men who have been brought In close rnntni', personally and officially, with Judge Taft are agreed that he com bines as very, very fow men ever can combine, n standard of absolutely un flinching rcctltudo on every point of pub lic duty, and -i literally dauntless courage and willingness to bear responsibility, with a knowlcdgo of men, and a far-reaching tact and kindliness, which enablo bis grent abilities and high principles to be of uso In n way that would bo Impossible wero ho not thus gifted with tho capacity to work hand In hand with his fellows. President McKlnlcy has rendered many great services to his country, nnd not tho least has been tho clear-sightedness with which ho has chosen tho best possible public servants to porform tho very difficult tasks of acting as tho first administrators In tho Islands which camo Into our hands as a result of tho Spanish wnr. Such was tho scrvlco ho rendered when ho choso Assistant Secretary of tho Navy Allen and nfterwards Judge Hunt as governors of Porto Ulco; when ho choso (icneral Iennnrd Wood ns governor general of Cuba, and finally when ho made Judgo Taft tho llrst governor of the Philip pines. When Judgo Taft wns sent out as thn head of tho commission appointed by tho president to Inaugurate civil rulo In tho Philippines, ho was In a position not only of great difficulty, but of great delicacy. Ho had to show lnllcxlblo strength, and yet capacity to work heartily with other men nnd got tho best rcsultB out of conflicting Ideas and Interests. Tho Tagalog Insurrec tion was still under full headway, being kept nllvo largely by tho moral aid It re ceived from ccrtnln sources In this country. Any nctlon of tho commission, no matter how wlso nnd Just, was certain to bo mis represented and bitterly attacked hero at homo by thoso who, from whatovcr reasons, desired tho success of tho Insur gents. On tho other hand, tho regulnr army, which bad dono and was doing Its work admirably and which Is entitled to tho heartiest regard and respect from overy truo American, ultvo, as ho should First Lady Mrs. Thcodoro Rooscvolt, tho new mis tress of tho Whlto House, Is a woman of exceptional tact and amiability. A writer who had unusual opportunities of observing her as mistress of tho oxecutlvo mansion at Albany whllo Mr. Roosevelt wns governor of Now York relatos In tho Now York World many Incidents Illustrating her ndmlrablu social qualities, which are now destined for tho wider field of national llfo. Mrs. Roosevelt Is not yet old enough for her dark hair, which sho wears drawn softly nway from her high forehead, to have bo como tinged with gray. Hor eyes sparkle. with all tho vigor of youth. When sho smiles It Is In tho happiest manner In tho world. Sho Is fair In complexion, nqulltno In profile, of medium height, slender and with an aristocratic bearing. Sho has In deed great nnturnl statcllness, and when dressed for dinner or a reception Is quite tho grando dame. Mrs. Roosovelt has, Indeed, always suc ceeded In subordinating hor own personality to that of her husband. Sho has nover been In nny sonso a "public woman," even when sho was thn wifo of tho governor. Sho avoids clubs, prominent Identification with nny movement, social display or ostentation. Nevertheless sho Is thoroughly Informed and keenly Interested In overy question of tho day. It la only that so far sho has In dulged n. prefcrenco for watching history rather than to havo tho smallest sharo In Its making. As nn ndmlnlstralor Mrs. RoosovoU. Is su perb. Her husband's career has mado It necessary for her to conduct several homes nt tho eamo time, which sho has dono with masterly efficiency. Hor financial ability nlso quite distinguishes hor from tho run of women. Mrs, Roosevelt wns KiTTTS fCermlt Carow, daughter of Charles Carow of Now York and granddaughter of General Tylor of Norwich, Conu, Edith was born nt tho old Carow mansion, Fourteenth street and Union Square. Her girlhood was passed In Now York, dining part of which tlmo sho was a pupil at Miss Comstock's school In West Fortloth street. Tho Carows wero then ono of tho foro most families In town. Tho Roosovclts held u similar position. Thero was a strong In tlmncy between them, Edith Carow In par ticular always having been n close frlond of Theodoro Roosevelt's sister, who Is now Mrs. Douglas Robinson.

SEPTEMBER 22, 1001. on the Philippines Sketch of Governor Taft, be, to Us literally inestimable services was yet, from Its very nature, not an In strument ilttcd for tho further development of civil liberty In tho Islands. Under ordi nary circumstances thero would havo been Imminent danger of friction between tho military and civil authorities. Fortunately, w-o had at tho head of tho War department In Secretary Kllhu Root a man as thor oughly fit for his post as Governor Taft was for his. Secretary Root was admin istering his department with an eye slnglo to the public Interests, his sole desire being to get tho best possible results for tho country. Whero these results could bo ob tained by the uso of tho army, ho used It In tho most efficient posslblo manner and month by month, almost day by day, Its efficiency Increased under his hands. Where ho thought tho best results could bo ob tained by tho gradual elimination of the army and tho substitution of civil govern ment, his solo concern was to seo that the substitution was made In tho most advan tageous manner possible. Neither tho sec retary nor tho governor was capablo of so much as understanding tho pettiness which makes a certain typo of official, ovon In high office, dcslro to keep official control of some provlnco of public work, not for the sake of tho publlo work, but for tho sake of tho office. No better object lesson could bo given than has thus been given by Secretary Root and Governor Tatt of tho Immcnso public benefit rosultlng, undor cir cumstances of great difficulty nnd delicacy, from tho cordial co-operation of two publlo servants, who comblno entire disinterested ness with tho highest standard of capacity. Governor Taft thus BCt to work with the two grout advantages of tho hearly and generous support of his superior, tho presi dent, iind tho ungrudging co-operation of tho War department. Tho difficulties ho had to combat wore infinite. In tho Philip pines wo wero heirs to all tho troubles of Spain, and nbovo all to tho lnvctornto dis trust and suspicion which Spanish rulo boil left In tho native mind. Tho army alono could put down tho Insurrection, nud yet, onco tho Insurrection had been put down, every consideration of humanity and policy required that tho function of tho nrmy should bo minimized as much as possible. Until after tho presidential election In November last peaco could not come, becauso both tho In surgent leaders and their supporters on this sldo of tho water wero under tho mistaken Impression that n contlnuanco of tho blood shed nnd Btrugglu In tho Philippines would bo politically disadvantageous to tho party In power In tho United Stntcs. Soon after tho results of tho election becamo known In tho Philippines, however, armed resist ance collapsed. Tho small bands now In tho Held nro not, properly speaking, lnsurgcnt3 nt all, but "ladrones," robbers whoso opera tions nro no moro political than thoso of bandits In Calabria or Greece. Tho way has thus been cleared for civil rule, and astonishing progress has bocn mado. Wherever posslblo Governor Taft has been employing natives In tho public scrvlco. Ilclng a man of tho soundest com mon sense, howovcr, ho tins not hesitated to refuso to employ natives where, after careful Investigation, his dcllgcrato Judg ment Is that, tor tho tlmo being It Is to tho advantago of tho natives themselves that Americans should administer tho posi tion, notably In certain of tho Judgeships and high offices. For tho last fow months tho Filipinos havo known a degree of praeo, Justlco nnd prosperity to which thoy havo nover attained In their wholo previous his tory, and to which thoy could not havo ap proximated In tho remotest degreo had It not been for tho American stay In tho Islands. Under Judgo Taft they aro gradu of the Land They wero both then In their early teens nnd far too young for any thought of ro mance. And It was with u purely cousinly friendliness that they snld goodby when young Thcodoro left New York to go to Har vard. Thcodoro Roosovelt has nover been known to wasto nn opportunity. Ho learned moro at Harvard than ten ordi nary boys would havo learned, and ho did not neglect his Boclal ndvantngca elthor. For bo had bocomo engaged In tho mcan tlmo to Miss Allco Leo, then ono of tho belles of Uoston. Tho Lees wero ono of tho best Boston families. Thcodoro was considered nn exceptionally promising young man. No objection wns raised to tholr marriage. This was to provo the only tragic chapter In Theodoro Roosevolt's life. For after only a year of married llfo his young wife died, leaving n baby girl and namesako behind hor. This baby Is now tho grown up daughter of Mr. Roosovelt, Miss Allco, who la to mako her debut In Washington this winter, Whllo becoming accustomed to his grief, Thcodoro Rooscvolt met again and often tho young woman with whom ho had been such good frlonds half a dozen years before. In tho mcnntlmo Edith Carow had gained n reputation for absolute lack of suscep tibility. It was believed sho would nover marry. Far handsomer men than Theodoro Roosovelt had paid their court In vain. Gradually, however, during tho noxt few years an understanding was established be tween them.' Theodoro Roosevelt nnd Edith Carow dls covered that they wero In lovo and elec trified Now York by announcing their en gagement. Thoy wero married a fow months after ward In England. Miss Carow went over In ndvance and met her mother nnd sister In England, In November Mr. Roosevelt Joined them, und on December 2. 18SC, lie nnd Edith Cnrow woro married In St. Oeorgo's church, Hanover Square, London, by Canon Cnmmndgo, a cousin of Miss Carow. Mrs. Roosevelt, no less than her hus band nnd children, Is dovotedly attached to their Oyster Hay homo and enjoys most of tho tlmo that sho spends there, whero nn ceremony Is necessary and whero a con tinual out-of-door llfo Is tho rule. Nothing could exceed tho well ordored simplicity of this country life of the Rooso contemplates Investigation of tho several theories of government prevalent In this country to dato of our rovolutlon; requir ing an examination of the ' political writ ings of Hobbes, locke, Roussenu, Voltalro, Helvetlus, Montesquieu nnd tho literature of the Engllch civil wnr und comonwealth, not to mention Amertcnn writers. The I orlcln of tho doctrine thnl nil mnn nrn I created equal will bo sought and tho growth of democracy followed as mani fested In tho dtvolopment of public schools, tho prinlod ballot, tho abolition of servl- ; tudo and Industrial expansion. Tho In fluence upon our Institutions of tho ancient ) republics, of English Institutions, of Eng lish writers and of the common law will I be studied. Tho bitter struggle against I equity and admiralty law and tho reasons ally learning what It means to havo public officials of unbending rectitude. Under him tho Islands havo seen tho beginnings of a system of good roads, good schools, upright Judges and honest public servants. His nil ministration throughout has been designed primarily for tho benefit of tho Islanders themselves, nnd has thercforo In tho truest and most effective way been In tho Interest nlso of tho American republic. Under him tho Islanders nro now taking tho first steps along tho hard path which ultimately leads to solf-rcEpcct and self-government. That they will travel this road with success 'to the ultlmato goal thero can bo but little doubt, If only our people will mako It abso lutely certain that tho policies Inaugurated under President McKlnloy by Governor Taft shall bo continued In tho tuturo by Just such men ns Governor Taft. Thero will bo oc casional failures, occasional shortcomings, nnd then wo shall hear the familiar wall of tho men of little faith, of llttlo courage Hero and there tho smoldering embers of Insurrection will burst again Into brief flamo; hero and thero tho mcasuro of eolf govornmcnt granted to a given locality will havo to bo withdrawn or diminished because on trial tho people do not show themselves lit for It, and now and then wo shall meet tho sudden nnd unexpected difficulties which uro Inovltnbly Incident to any effort to do good to peoples containing somo sav- ngo and half-clvllUcd elements. Governor Taft will havo to moot crisis after crisis; ho will moot each with courage, coolness, strength and Judgment. It is highly Important that wo havo good laws for tho Islands. It Is highly important that the3o laws permit of tho grent material development of tho Islands. Governor Tnft has most wisely Insisted that It Is to tho Immcnso benefit of tho lslnndors that great Industrial enterprises spring up In tho Philippines, and of cotirso such Industrial enterprises can only spring up If profits comes to thoso who undertake- them. Tho material uplifting of tho peoplo must go to gether with their moral uplifting. Hut though It Is Important to havo wlso laws, It Is moro Important that thero should bo a wlso nnd honest administration of tho laws. Tho statesmen nt homo, In congress and out of congress, can do their best work by following tho ndvlco nnd tho lead of tho man who Is actually on tho ground". It Is thercforo essential that this man should bo of tho very highest stamp. If Inferior men nro appointed, and, nbovo all, if tho curso of spoils politics ever fastens Itself upon tho administration of our Insular dependencies widespread disaster Is suro to follow. Evory American worthy of tho name, every American who Is proud of his country and Jcnlous of her honor, should uphold tho hands of Governor Taft, and by tho heartiness of his support should glvo an earnest of his Intention to Insist that tho high standard set by Governor Tnft shall bo nccoptod for all tlmo hereafter as tho standard by which wo Intend to Judgo whoovcr, undor or after Governor Taft, may carry forward tho work ho has so strikingly begun. Governor Taft loft a high ofllco of honor and of comparative easo to undortako his present work. As soon ns ho became con vinced where his duty lay ho did not host tato a moment, though ho elenrf foresaw tho Infinite, labor, tho crushing responsi bility, tho certainty of recurring disappoint ments, and all tho grinding wenr nnd tear which such a task implies. Uut ho gladly undertook It, and ho Is to bo considered thrlco fortunate! For In this world tho one thing supremely worth having Is tho oppor tunity, coupled with tho capacity, to do well and worthily n pleco of work tho doing of which Is of vital consequence to tho wclfnro of mankind. The New Mistress of the White House. vclts, and many people will tell you that tho secret of It all is tho excellent common senso of tho chntolalno of tho estate. In tho country Mrs. Itoosovclt dresses qtllto properly In shirtwaists and short skirts, varied by an occasional muslin. Her tasto In dress, howovcr, is generally known to bo of tho quietest. Tho fancies of tho hour Mrs. Roosovelt nbhors. Strik ing effects sho Is thoroughly nverso to, and sho wears fow Jowels. Tho result Is that you would never remark her In a crowd of women unless It wero for her quiet dis tinction of nppearanco. Under thoso circumstances It Is not sur prising that tho young Roosovelts ndoro both their parents. In addition to Miss Allco thero aro five younger children Master Teddy, Jr., who Is 13 years old and Is now nt school at Gro ton, nnd Ethel, Archibald, Kormlt uud Qucntln. Miss Allco RoosovoU Is a pretty blond halrod, bluo-eyed girl, who, In splto of her Roosovelt traits, greatly resembles her dead mother, Shu Is thoroughly dovotcd to her lively llttlo brothers and- sisters and tho cntlro six havo as good frolics together ns If they wero nil tho samo age. Neither Mrs. Roosovelt nor Colonel Roosovelt be lieves In restraining tho natural good spirits of children. Doubtless tho most Interesting of tho youngsters Is Thcodoro, Jr., who Is tho mlu laturo dupllcnto of his father In moro ways than ono. Master "Teddy" Is so old for his years that somcono has suspected him of being J'-IO years old when ho was born." His manner Is remarkably Impressive, for n boy of 13, nnd his convictions aro as positive as his father's. Mrs. Roosovelt's punctiliousness at Al bany, both In holding entertainments nnd In attending thoso to which sho wns Invited, Indicates something qulto ns valunblo as social talent. It means that tho now presi dent's wifo Is physically strong. Indeed, Mrs. RoosovoU, though frail In nppearanco, qulto lives up to tho family traditions In nover employing a doctor and In trusting to exerclso and hyglono to preserve her health. This being tho caso, sho will probably submit to tho handshaking ordeals of tho presidential receptions ordenls which Mrs. Ilnrrlson and Mrs. McKinley wero plainly unablo oven to attempt and which nover failed to provo a great strain on tho robust Mrs. Cleveland. that Induced It can not be without Inter .et .when "government by Injunction" claims so much of tho public attention. Tho three great departments of govern ment and tholr respective functions will be traced bacK to early days. Tho dis tinction bPtwecn these departments Is not so old nor so clearly marked as many think. To this day tho legislature of Mas sachusetts Is called "tho general court." To within n comparatively recent dato It was tho custom of legislatures to grant divorces nnd hear appeals as a high court of error. Tho growth of national sentiment will ho traced, It probably is not gen erally known that tho stato of Pennsyl vania, acting through its legislature and governor, called out Its troops to resist enforcement of a Judgment rendered by the Last week priced specially for this sale.
