He went with a warm feeling of friendship and admiration for the man whom he had done so much to make President. He had high confidence that Taft would be successful in his great office. He had no reason to believe that any change would come in the friendship between them, which had been peculiarly intimate.
Governor Taft invited leading citizens out to the ship where he returned the compliment with refreshments, good cheer, and a salute. In writing of my life in the islands, I must mention incidents of serious nature and yet of common happening. Almost daily would come an instant call for troops to mount and ride post haste by night or day after some of these worse than lawless bands of Filipinos.
But most of all, as President Taft has urged, greater speed and certainty and less technicality in court trials for crime a reform of our legal procedure. The matter of most interest in modern American legislation for municipal government is probably the home-rule principle.
Ex-President Taft, then joint Chairman of the National War Labor Board, was interviewed at his desk just after rendering an important democratic labor award. "No, indeed! I'll do nothing for a proposition which adds more voters to our electorate. I thought my position on this question was well known," said Mr. Taft.

The desperate Persians appealed to the United States Government to send them an honest administrator to guide them, and President Taft recommended Mr. Shuster for the task. The work of Mr. Shuster soon won him the enthusiastic confidence and devotion of the Persians themselves.
There wuz ancient stun architecture, and modern wood rustic work, and I sez to Josiah, "They believe in not slightin' any of the centuries; they've got some of most every kind of architecture from Queen Mary down to Taft." And he sez, "It is a crackin' good plan too; amongst all on 'em they're sure to git some of the best."
But the field of reference will grow imperceptibly, and we have had President Taft protesting that he desires an Arbitration Treaty with England from which even questions of honour, vital interests, and independence shall not be excluded.
