TAFT DEPLORES ISLAND POLICY [Continued From First Pago.] believed the latter is tending toward disaster for tho island people. Hot Shots Firc<l Hot shots from the statements of both men follow: "It is becoming very plain that the Republican politicians are attempt ing to lay the foundation for cam paign material with respect to the Philippine Islands, said Secretary Garrison. "There have recently ap peared a series of interviews or articles exhibiting a shameless Inten tion in this matter. These statements are mendacious in character and mis chievous in intent. "A sickening sense of shame must overcome Mr. Taft when he realizes where Ills blind partisanship has led him. "To be found in such company under such circumstances is, how ever, the inevitable result of such a campaign." Ex-President Taft said: "I have not been unmindful of the necessity for standing by this administration in na tional crises, without, regard to party. "I am profoundly anxious to avoid the disaster toward which I believe the present (Philippine) policy is tending. "I am utterly opposed to the Jones bill. Its promise of independence is certain to mislead the Filipinos into thinking it is near at hand. "I hope for a Republican adminis tration to reverse the present policy, but I never would seek a political issue in the Philippines if it could be avoided." Republican Discharges "Tn October, 1913, the new Demo i oratlc policy was introduced. It in volved the separation of Governor General Forbes and all the commis sioners and the substitution of men with no Philippine experience what ever. Mr. Harrison went to Manila With the Filipino delegate. Mr. Quezon. He announced publicly that Qneson had secured his appointment. He "Charley" Taft Is captain of til's Yale basketball team and got In sev eral of the big football ga men this Fall. He is a husky lad and quick witted, two assets that make hlin val uable In any sport. Garfield, whose brother captained the Williams basketball team last year and also played on that university's baseball team, was pitcher on msi year's Yale freshman baseball team and also a member of the basketball squacl. Cleveland Is a pole vaulter of some ability and is expected to represent Princeton on tho 1916 football team. He is a comer. Rheumatism has no fears for foot ball players. The disregard for pains and other ills was shown during the Army-Navy game at Philadelphia, Saturday. During "time out," con testants would throw themselves steaming and perspiring, down on the damp ground, stretched out in clouds of vapor, with no more apparent, thought of what less hardy persons woudl dread, than If they were tak ing a feather bed. Any kind of couch suited them. gave it out that he did not care for American advice and only wished to confer with Filipinos. His partisan attitude was shown by* his declaration in the press in Honolulu, that he took a sardonic pleasure In turning out Republicans." Mr. Taft adds: "The official record shows that be tween October, 1913, when Governor General Harrison landed, and January 1, 1914, one hundred and nlnety-threo Americans were separated from office and that by July, 1914, the number separated had increased to 476, and that all of these were officially re ported to have rendered satisfactory" service." Other men, Mr. Taft says, resigned because of uncertainty of tenure and cuts In salaries. "The policy of eliminating these strong and effective Americans," soys Mr. Taft, "created demoralization which showed itself almost at once. Similar cases of inefficiency occurreil iA the bureaus. lam utterly opposed to the Jones bill and have always been opposed to it. Its promise of inde pendence is certain to mislead the Filipinos into thinking it is near at hand. Its elective Senate will diminish the power of the American Executive most Injuriously.
