When [[cut off]] praised his particular friends [[cut off]] th- Cabinet always with stress upon J- [[cut off]] Garfield, Mr. Taft listened good humoured apparently with full assent. He did not say it was his intention to keep those men, [[cut off]] any of them; nor did he say to the contrary. But the impression left upon the mind of Mr. Roosevelt, at least for a considerable time, was that Mr. Taft would respond to his wishes, particularly as to Garfield "Others knew that Garfield was not to be kept and that Bellinge[[cut off]] still innocently assuming to the contrar[[cut off]] d not consider Garfield and Straus of Confident size and therefore would not keep them. But he did say it to one of Mr. Roosevelt's confidants, apparently supposing that this gentleman would pass the information on to the President, but that the gentleman did not regard it as his right or duty to do so. It seemed to him that inasmuch as Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft were the closest of friends, one the sponsor and the other the protege, with gratitude, loyalty, affection, and frankness subsisting between them, it would be an impertinence for an outsider to attempt to convey to either of them information, which, of course, he must already have had first hand. ROOSEVELT LEFT GUESSING "The result was that it was a long time before Mr. Roosevelt learned that he did not have enough influence with the incoming administration to secure the retention of his friend Garfield, and when he did learn the fact he also learned that others had had the information long before it came to him. It is unnecessary to attempt to describe the effect of this upon Mr. Roosevelt. "These were matters affecting the personal relations of the two men. But it was not long before evidence came to Mr. Roosevelt that his pro[[cut off]] was not coming up to expectations as to his pledges to continue the Roosevelt policies. It will be remembered that during the closing days of the Roosevelt administration there was a progressive uprising in Congress, 'Insurgents' they were called then, a protest against the Joe Cannon [[cut off]] in the House primarily, but in eff[[cut off]] effort to get away from the old [[cut off]] cal system of control in Congress. A [[cut off]] same time, President Roosevelt was engaged in a bitter struggle against the Cannon forces over the secret service appropriations and the charges made by Speaker Cannon's lieutenant, Representative [[cut off]]wney, that the President had used secret service officers to spy upon Senators and Representatives for White House political purposes. CONTEST IS BITTER. "This was one of the most bitter of all Mr. Roosevelt's contests with the people of Congress, and it was a war in which he naturally was most anxious to come out victorious. Involved in it to a certain extent was the question whether or not Speaker Cannon should be chosen for another term and the whole question of toryism versus liberalism in Congress. "While this struggle was raging President-elect Taft arrived [[cut off]] Washington, set up his 'little White House' and entered upon a series of negotiations with Speaker Cannon and the [[cut off]]ory forces of Capitol hill. President Roosevelt was but poorly, if at all, informed to the trend and progress, [[cut off]] ations and presently was ast[[cut off]] learn that Colonel's feelings toward himself had undergone a change. The President felt for Mr. Roosevelt all his former affection and gratitude, and when the first reports reached his ears of ill feeling on the part of the Colonel Mr. Taft would not credit them. It seemed to him impossible. This of course means two things: The President was not aware of having given cause of offense; and he was equally oblivious to the fact that offense had been taken through misunderstanding or misconception. "The first published statement foreshadowing the break came in a cablegram from one of the special correspondents accompanying Mr. Roosevelt on his return from Africa. It was sent when the Colonel's party reached Naples and contained the statement that Colonel Roosevelt no longer looked with favor upon Mr. Taft and was returning to America with a firm determination not to support the President for a second term. Mr. Taft poohpoohed this dispatch; said it was absolutely without foundation and that it must have been written by some person whose design was to create trouble where no trouble existed. HEARS OF RUPTURE. "After Colonel Roosevelt had reached America the President learned upon direct information that it was true-the old friendship was broken, so far as the Roosevelt end of it was concerned. To say that Mr. Taft was surprised and pained is to put the case mildly. It was to him a great, a sincere grief. He at once began searching his memory to see if he could find wherein he had been at fault. He was not able to recall any cause of offense which in his opinion warranted a moment's consideration. "Moreover, the President asked mutual friends to go to the Colonel and endeavor to learn directly and precisely the cause of the trouble, with a view to offering amends on his part seemed called for by the facts. "These mutual friends were not able to report definite and satisfactory progress. Colonel Roosevelt was loath to enter upon a full and frank explanation or upon anything which savored of an attempt at negotiating a reconciliation. As nearly as these representatives of the President could make out from their conversations with the Colonel his grievances were three in number, as follows: "First—The petty affairs, such as alleged remarks about a social reformation at the White House; some feminine misunderstandings and antipathies; the fact that the President-elect had for a brief season occupied the Boardman house at Washington and there consulted public men while arranging the general outlines of his administration policy. All these President Taft considered as too trivial to receive a moment's attention at the hands of a serious man; and his respect for Colonel Roosevelt was so high he could not believe that gentleman had permitted such flimsy incidents to interrupt a long standing friendship. LINGERS IN WINTER HOME. "Second--The fact that Mr. Taft before his inauguration did not come up earlier from his winter resort at Augusta, Ga., to Washington to help President Roosevelt in his struggle against the Cannon forces over the secret service appropriations. Mr. Taft explains that he had no request from then President Roosevelt for his help, and Try Marine Eye Remedy for Red, Weak, Watery, Eyes and Granulated Eyelids. [[cut off]] Mr. Roosevelt raised objections. To the contrary, so far as Mr. Taft was aware, he fully approved. The understanding which the new President [[folded]] with Speaker Cannon was upon the [[folded]] of Colonel Roosevelt himself. "As to Cabinet appointments - here, again, there was no misunderstanding; or no misunderstanding due to [[cut off]] of sincerity and openness on Mr. Taft's part. It doubtless is true that in the early days after the election, when President Roosevelt was saying good words for [[cut off]] particular friend Garfield, Mr. Taft was inclined to hurt the Colonel's feelings [[cut off]] a too blunt or hast judgment against the Colonel's protege. Doubtless the [[cut off]] of Garfield's retention was permitted to drift along for a time; but in the end when he believed the proper moment [[had?]] come, Mr. Taft plainly indicated, as [[cut off]] as he could, that he did not regard Mr. Garfield of [[Cabinet?]] size. So far as Mr. Taft knew, Colonel Roosevelt understood this and raised no protest. If Colonel Roosevelt or any of his friends set up the claim that in the matter of Cabinet appointments President Taft was guilty of lack of frankness or friendliness or gratitude, it is an afterthought, a pretext conjured up to support a quarrel which exists and has always existed on one side alone and which stands upon an unsubstantial foundation. TAFT HAS GOOD AIMS. "As to the charge that President Taft failed to carry out the Roosevelt policies and 'went over to the enemy' Mr. Taft never had such a thought in mind. He was President; he was the responsible man; he was seeking results; he had not inherited Colonel Roosevelt's quarrels. He was doing the best he could in a difficult situation. The only people who suspected that the new President was not in good faith carrying out the Roosevelt policies were a few of the former President's personal intimates, members of the tennis cabinet, who were disappointed because their influence at the White House was not as great as under the former regime. They raised the cry that President Taft had gone back on the Roosevelt policies. They wrote letters to the Colonel in Africa, and filled his ears with their plaints as soon as they could get at him. "Finally President Taft's friendship for and gratitude to Colonel Roosevelt, before the relations between them had been disturbed by the Colonel's umbrage and the trouble making of his friends, may be best summed up in a statement Mr. Taft made BEAUTY DOCTOR TELLS SECRET Detroit Beauty Doctor Gives Simple Recipe to Darken Gray Hair and Promote Its Growth Miss Alice Whitney, a well-known doctor of Detroit, Mich.
