That President Taft can make an effective rejoinder to an attack from a source that moves him to speak was shown at the dinner of the Military Order of the Caraboa on BSBaturday night in Washington. Seneter Tillman, perhaps not intending to prod the president, made some derogatory or critical comments of a characteristic sort upon the army, to which in reply President Taft said: “My friend, the distinguished sena tor from South Carolina, I have known well, have been glad to know, have been honored by his friendship, and I want to assure you that he is.a good deal better fellow than you sometimes think, from what he says. He is not always one who sits and talks, think- ing about the race question and mis- cegenation and amalgamation and that sort of thing. He does have other thoughts, but when he gets on his feet and starts on that slippery subject it requires a good deal of force or a good deal of poise to keep him from.going further than he really wants to go himself. “He says that we are going to an nex Cuba. Well, I don t'think so. He says that because Cuba has a race question we have got to mix their race question with our race question and have a sort of result with sulphur. ris- ing from it that is going to consume the world. I don’t believe that. 1 don’t believe the senator does, excep! as these worde roll from his lips and they have rolled from his lips since ‘99 on the senate, floor and from the stump, and have never accomplished anything in the election, and yet cannot get over it."—Bridgeport Stan dard.
