Newton Gilbert of FOrtWayneIndJ as a member of the Philippine commission is one of the possibilities of the near future It is expected that Secretary Taftsoon after his return from Panama will fill the vacancy on the commission While the prcsLdent will make tbe formal appointment his action will be based on the recommendation of his war secretary A great deal of Insular politics has cropped out in tbecampalgn for this Important office Mr Gilbert resigned from c6nef est ft ew years ago to be come a Judabf tt cViirrotttaflrBt Instance In the phlllpplnea Bit taonlhs iagoy when the vacancy on the Philippine commission Occurred waieinentibned for It but Witbat time SecreterytaftwMof the opinion that the appointment should go to someone who had been Identifier longer with the Insular eervlce than Mr Gilbert Recently however he Is said to have changed his mind to a degree at least It seems that nearly all of tbe men who would otherwise be considered available timber are disqualified by having antagonized either the Filipinos of certain cllpes of the foreign residents Secretary Taft Is especially Interested In the maintenance of good relations in the Philippines and he will not consent to the appointment of any man on the commission who Is likely to be a disturbing factor There are two strong points in Mr Gilberts favor Ills official record is characterized by complete efficiency Indicating that he would be a useful member of the commission and in the second place he has created no antagonisms and his attitude toward the Filiplnos has Von their friendship and esteem For these reasons there Is a strong current of opinion at the war department that he itandsa good show of securing the appointment on the Phil ippine commission This place pays 15500 a year and if Mr Gilbert gets it he will be the highest paid Jndlanian In the public service ROOSEVELT MADE A RED HOT SPEECH When accused of cherishing ideas of governmental centralization BRYANREAD ADDRESS Which Was

enforced for tho good of the people a i I am not concerned th the acaderolo question of whether the tate or the fed eral government shall do this or that he exclaimed but I am concerned In seeing that whichever power can do it best shall do It and do It well There art certain things that cannot be done by the states alone Take the graiitfng of right to private corporations for tho use of water power I want the corporations that develop the power to have atnph reward lor their enterprise but I do not want them to have perpetual reward I want the term of I their contracts to be limited fxrt the states have control of those things that are within the state lines and let the national government have control ovr those things that the slates cannot control I am for such a division of
