HRRIGHMENT IS BRANDED UNJUST fatt Asterts Oarriion Will Some Day Regret Using Words He Did in Denouncing Ex-President DENIES ANY PARTISAN BIAS NEW HAVEN. Conn., Nov. 30. Former President William Howard Taft, tn a statement made public here tonight, characterizes Secretary Gar rison's arraignment of htm for his attitfude on Philippine affairs as "un just, vehement and unmeasured. '.' Mr. Taft says that there has not been the slightest tinge of partisan feel ing in his interest in the Philippine problem. "It seems to me," he says, "that I have not been unmindful of the necessity for standing by this democratic administration in na tional crises without regard to party considerations." Tf'n tlalfmrnt. The statement in part follows: "Mr. Ilolmsn and Mr. Loomis of the Oakland Tribune asked me, when In 8an Francisco in September, to comment on Mr. Jones' article. I did not ace Mr. Jones or hold anv communication with Mm before his article was published. It j was sent in manuscript to me at Ban Francisco, where I first saw and read It. What he sa!d as to the demoralisation of the present government, due to the elimination of Americans In the civil pcrvlce'and the Interest of Filipino politi cians in controlling Mr. Garrison's action had come to me from many other sources I knew to be reliable, and I therefore, wroto a short article Bay Ins so. The letter of. Mr. Jones which Mr. Garrison published greatly injures Jones' credibility as a witness and T greatly regret that he should put himself In such an equivocal and indefensible position. ' Model t'nlnnlm Serrlre. "The justice of the general description of the bad effects of the present policy In the Islands, to which I referred In my comment, does not, however, depend on the credibility of one witness. The suc cess which attended our policy tn the Philippines was largely due to the admir able quality of the civil servants who were the guiding force In the bureaus and departments. It was a model colonial service, made up. of men who knew the language, the people, the history-of ths government nnd its aims. "In October, 11U3. 'the new policy was introduced. It Involved the separatlon.of Uovernor General Forbes and all the com missioners and substitution of men with no Philippine experience whatever. Mr. Harrison went to Manila with the Filipino delegate, Mr. Quesffn. He announced publicly that Queion had secured his ap pointment, lie gave It out that he Hid not care for American advice and only wished to confer wltn Filipinos. His partisan attitude was shown by his declaration in the press In Honolulu, that he took a sardonic pleasure in turning out republicans.

"The official record shows .that be tween October, 1913, when Governor Gen eral Harrison landed, and January 1, 1914, 193 Americans were separated from office and that by July 14, 1914, the num ber separated had increased to 476, and that all of these were olficlally reported to have rendered satisfactory service. "In addition to these I am informed by Dan R. Williams that Mr, Taylor, di rector of agriculture; Mr. Stewart, di rector of prisons; Mr. Cotterman, direc tor of posts; Mr. Hastings, member of the Manila Municipal board; Mr. Bow ditch, secretary of the Moro province; Mr. Robertson, director of the Philippine library; Mr. Smith, chief of the mining division of the bureau of science; Mr. Robelln, chemist of the bureau of science; Mr. Kearney, chief clerk of the bureau of posts; Mr. Reardsley, chief of the 'postal savings - bank division: Mr. Gee, chief clerk of the division of public works bureau; Mr. Cobb, supreme court recorder, and Judge Crossfleld, of the court. of first Instance, resigned because of cut In salaries, and uncertainty of ten ure. Cmlr Demoralisation. The policy of eliminating thase strong and effective Americans created de moralisation which showed Itself almost at once. I have not space to elaborate the Instances. By transferring the office of public lands from Sleeper, an expert who was rapidly making certain the cre ation of a sinking fund to meet the seven millions trlars lands bonds to a Filipino lnsurrecto general named Tlnlo who had no experience of any kind and who In sta- months had to be re lieved after a trial for malpractice and acquittal, this Important achievement Is made very doubtful. The arrearages In collections from leases of friars' lands are said to have exceeded WO.WO pesos, due to inefficiency. "Similar casea of Inefficiency occurred tn the bureaus engaged in attempting to suppress the. dangeraus rhlnderpest. In conducting the hospital. In collecting Internal revenue. It usually takes some time to show inefflcleney due to change because of original momentum, but these were almost immediate. A reorganisation of the Judiciary en tirely unnecessary and most wasteful was effected to give more places for Fili pinos. My authority for these results Is in statements of Desn Worcester, Vice Governor Gilbert and Pan E. Williams, all of whom are in the islands snd know them well. In addition many others have confirmed these views. I am utterly opposed to the Jones bill and have always been opposed to it. Its promise of Independence is certain to mislead the Filipinos into thinking it Is near at hand. Its elective senate will di minish the power of the American execu tive most injuriously. Its requirement that appointments be confirmed by the senate will make the governor general completely subservient to the Filipino politicians and will eliminate all Amer ican guidance In the bureaus and de partments. "I was personally engaged in Phillip pine work for four years and supervised It for eight years more, end I can of course not rid myself of a pcrsonsi re lation to It. 1 am profoundly anxious to Old Folks Need "Cascarets" for Liver, Bowels Salts, calomel, pills act oil bow els like pepper acts in nostrils. Kitten Whirls for Nine Hours Inside Flywheel and Still Lives HARTINGTON. Neb., Nov. 30. (Spe cial.) Additional evidence concerning the proverbial "nine lives'' of a cat has been furnished by an incident which occurred In this city one day last'week, and which Is vouched for by the most reliable witnesses. A kitten at the Great Northern mills climbed Into the InsUe rim of the big fly wheel and feel asleep. The engineer did not notice the kitten when he started the engine In the morn ing and for nine consecutive hours the little creature, held In Its perilous posi tion by centrifugal force was whirled round and round on the giant flywheel at the rata of ninety revolutions a minute. It was still alive when evening i sine anil the engine was stopped for the nlKht. The kitten traversed the circumference of the wheel 4S.N times at lightning speed. Although alive, the kitten was In a stunned condition and was unable U stand on its feet, hut a little nursing on the part of the mill men revived It and It Is now as well as ever. The enulneer taya othrr animals have strayed Into the rim or the fly wheel and have sailed away through space, but the cat Is the only antiiKil that has lived through it all. Enjoy life! Don't stay bilious, sick, headachy and constipated. ' Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condition la perfectly natural. It is Just as natural as It Is for old people to walk slowly. For age Is never so active as youth. The muscles are less elastic and the bowels are muscles. . . So all old people need Cascarets. One might as veil refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels must be kept active. This is important at all ages, but never so much as at fifty. ' Age Is not a time for -harsh physics. Touth may occasionally whip the bowels into activity. But a lash can't be used every day. What the bowels of the old need Is a gentle and natural tonic. One that can be constantly used without harm. The only such tonlo is Carcareta, and they cost only 10 cents per box at any drug store.

Such is the proof that Studebaker gave in the most sensational ROAD test that any STOCK car was ever subjected to.

And they covered 101,565.66 miles! They did the distance in the average time of 36.6 hours. At a speed aver-' ging 27.73 miles. And and THIS is the wonderful fact of the entire Run the 100 cars running over ev y known type of road, over every known kind of country, up mountain sides and hills that make most cars labor, and through mud, slush, snowdrifts in some places and rainstorms aver aged 12.3 miles to every gallon of gasoline and 446.87 miles to every gallon of oil ' Never has there been a more deci sive, a more CONVINCING proof of a car's stamina and POWER and dependability on the ROAD. It wasn't a SHOW drive over nice roads. The drivers had to make a fixed distance in a set time. And they had to drive over the very roads that YOU use when you drive your own car. ONLY they put the car to tests that you'd never dream of. The San Jose, Cal., Car made 343 miles in 11 hours on ohe day with the radiator sealed and the car locked in high, the gear-lever hav ing been removed. The Idaho Falls Car had to break a trail through 6 inches of snow for 20 miles. The Seattle Car in its 1000 mile NON-STOP run, made in 31.53 hours, climbed the Bides of Mt. Ranter in a driving storm. The Col orado Springs Car finished its 1000 miles in a snowdrift J3.500 feet high on Pike's Peak. The Utica, N. Y. Car was driven by women the en tire 1000 miles and came in with a 100 score. And so it went the country over. Taken all in all, the Run was the most amazing event of its kind that the roads of America have ever seen. And on top of what Studebaker Cars are doing in the hands of more than 200,000 owners, it has proved the car's RELIABILITY. It has proved the car's POWER. It has proved the car's STAMINA. It has proved the car's ECONOMY, and above all it has proved the car's in domitable QUALITY. And the re markable performance over any and sll kinds of going has proved the Studebaker"s supremacy as a car for WINTER driving.
