It was Taylor’s ignorance of the word “defeat” and the fact that jhe did not know how to be beaten which not only saved him from destrac- tion at Buena Vista but carried him ever safely through the tangle of party politics that sought his overthrow. Taylor, as the preceding article told, had been sent to Mexico with a lttle army, as the catspaw, or “whipping boy” of the Administration, The | bringing on of the Mexican war in a manner to reflect credit on President | Polk and his party had been a ticklish matter. It had called for wondrous diplomacy. And Taylor, by rough honesty, fearless courage and a high sense of duty, had succeeded where the wiliest politicians had failed. He had not only begun the war but had won a series of such brilliant vie- tories against fearful odds that he gained deathless fame. In fact. Taylor, a Whig, grew so popular that Polk and his Democratic pol- ftictanas were frightened. They had counted heavily on the Mexican war's glory to help them re-elect a Democratic Administration, This 1s believed to have been the reason why they had chosen Taylor, a somewhat obscure soldier, to begin the war, instead of sending Gen, Scott—a noted Whig and a hero of the war of 1812—to the front at once, Scott's victories in Mexico might make him @ dangerous Presidential possibility.

The Administration sought belatedly to undo the nan from pit as from stalls. For all his ascetic mood, St. Francis felt this as no man before or since. He made poverty his “lady” and hailed as “brother” the flame that burned him and the cold that nipped him. Another illus- trious Italian looked out on life with a spirit that saw its best in its things of worst seeming and held them out as promises to his follow- ers. Thus Garibaldi, addressing his men before St. Peter’s: “Soldiers, But he was wrong, and Kipling’s poem is wrong. It is too bad, there- fore, that a spurious confirmation is given to it by a woman’s interrup- tion of the trial of the “shooting show-girls.” As the guest of a juror in his own home, she heard him utter what seemed to be an opinion on the case, and mentioned this at a suffragist dinner, where, j conference hy, would be the more dtting place for him.

Just as Taylor had perfected military plans which were to make him master of afl that part of Mexico, Gen, Scott arrived to assume charge. Scott's first step was to take away from Taylor nearly all the latter's army of veteran soldiers i; and almost every one of his best officers. .
