He is no longer the Cabinet Minister on a holiday, pri- vileged to bandy' witticisms and volca, inreu--
ponsible opinions which may be repudiated a month hence. There must be no gaps in his
'armour when he comes before the electors of the United States seeking their suffrages, And one of the most difficult of the many problems which have to be solved by the next President is the administration of the Philippines. Out of that question there will arise America's attitude towards Chình and Japa", which also involves the trade interests of the United States and, in particular, of the Pacific slope. It is perfectly true that Mr. Taft has behind him the best advice that the United States can offer, and the fact that he is the protégé of President Roosevelt will undoubtedly count in his favour. But it is his own personality and the force of the views he enunciates which will count with the electorate, and as this is pro bably the last occasion on which he will find time to visit the Far East for some years to come his speeches will be scrutinis:d' with a care and exactness which are not given to those delivered by other Cabinet Ministers of the great Republic. in the course of an article. dwelling on Mr. Taft's chances, The Chrmidle of San Francisco remarks: “A few months ago Secretary Taft would fairly blush when addressed as a probable candidate for the Pre- sidency, bot denying, of course, that if boosted into the chair he should make no vicious re sistance, but deprecating all talk of such a
