TALES OUT OF SCHOOL.
Vandervoort Tells What stKind of a
Fellow Roze1le Is"

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 23.-Gen. Paul
Vandervoort, the retiring president of
the Reform Press association in an in
terview spoke of the Kansas City meet
ing called by ex-Secretary Rozelle. He
had read the reports in the papers and
counted the names of those present
Only few of these, he said, were mem
bers of the Reform Press association.
One of the number named is MI Ro-
zelle, land he is not now member,
said Mr.. VandervOort.
He was expelled from the organiza-
ton on account of his action in calling
a meeting in opposition to the present
Memphis convention"
In regard to Rozelle's criticism of
what he (Rozelle) called his rule or
ruin policy, General Vandervoort said
his position in the late campaign and in
calling the present meeting,w was APPROX
ed by the members of the Reform Press
association. In regard to calling the
present meeting, he said he pOlled the
executive committee on the question of
selecting a meeting place and all but
po1led the committee with the same re-
suit. When submitted to the officers
eight out of ten voted for Memphis
That is how the meeting came to be
held in this city. Roze1le he said, got
mad because he did not have the nam
ing of the place and called the Kansas
| City meeting.
"Rozelle wrote me a letter saying that
| the Memphis meeting was arranged by
men whose hands were besmirched by
| Republican Doodle, referring to Ferris
| of Illinois, Steinberg of Kansas, Mat
| thews of Indiana and Peters of Texas -
| said Gen. Vandervoort. This same
man told me personally before the cam
| paign, if the Republicans put UP money
| to run the campaign in Missouri he
would not go with the Democrats. That's
| the kind of a fellow Rozelle is.
| Governor Stephens has appointed
| him commissioner of labor as a result
! of his deal in that state. The present
meeting in Kansas City is in the inter
est of the Democratic party. 1t is an
| auti-middle-of-the-r meeting, strict
ly, but it is in no way a convention of
| the Reform Press associa ton"

MASTERS is NOT DEAD.
So Telegraphs His Deserted Bride at
Strong City, Then Moves On.

Kansas City, Feb. &c. r. Masters,
a farm hand from. near Strong City,
Kan, employed a novel means in this
city Sunday of deserving his wife, to
whom he was married at Strong City,
Friday, February II. He came to
Kansas City Saturday to look for work.
His wife did not accompany him. He
irving in the city went to the house of
his step-couSin, George StOneking,
driver for the Pabst Brewing COM
pany, who lives at 629 Holmes street.
Sunday night he sent his wife tele-
gram in Something's name that he had
died of heart disease and that his body
had been sent east for burial. The
and Mrs. Masters received it yesterday
morning. She was almost distracted.
Her father, John Gates, yesterday
wired Inspector Flahive to investigate
the manner of Masters death and an
swer what had been the result of the
coroner's inquest. When Gates mes
sage was received at police headQuar-
tiers a detective was sent to Stone
kings house and learned that Masters
had not died there, but had gone to St
Louis that morning.
Mrs. Masters came in on the Santa
F'e yesterday evening accompanied by
Rev NJ Pollock of the Lutheran
church of Strong City, who had mar
ried her and Masters a week ago Mrs
Masters went at once to Stoneking' s
house, while Rev. Mr.. Pollock hunted
up Inspector Flahive. 1t was thought
best to have Masters arrested in St.
Louis and a message was sent to the
police there last night ordering Mas
ters' arrest. He had left his wife of a
little more than a week without means
and she is DESTROYS of locating him.

UNHEALTHY MEx1co.

The Mexican Daily Herald published
in the City of Mexico says:
The enormously high death rate here,
something like As per thousand, render
ing the City of Mexico as unhealthy as
Trieste, or Chinese Annoy, is due to lack
of sewerage principally. With our eIe-
walton and purity of air, and great dry
ness OF atmosphere, this should be one
of the healthiest cities on the planet
provided we could get rid of the waste
matter of the population, as we shall do
so soon as the city sewers are recon-
structed and connected with the grand
canal of the Valley Drainage system.
Unfortunately, in this valley we have
few high winds or regular and continu-
ed breezeS- If there were here a stiff
afternoon breeze, as in many cities of
the country, much of the rniasma which
accumulates in our shut-in patios or
courtyards would be blown away, and
the night air would be healthier. The
morning sun, almost constant through
out the year is a wonderful disinfecting
agent and everyone here notes the diff
ference in the atmosphere when the sun
fails to flood the city with its chemical
and cleansing rays in the early hours of
the day. If it were not for the sunshine
this town would be uninha bitable.

One of the candidates for an East

Mothers and daughters in every rank
of life have found it possible, without
any real evasion of social or domestic
duties, to find time, in, their hours or
leisure to assist in the regeneration

a solid respect for the rights of prop

Women have every inducement to
study and care for politics. When ad-
dressing the Tavistock Habitation of
the Primrose league on this point
said I would have them note that good
government, the maintenance OF reilg-
ion and law and order and public Sc
curity and the preservation of pubic
confidence were things even more i'm

and to the weak more than to the

The very instinct of maternity, the love
of children, and the care land anxiety
about their future welfare naturally
I ranged women on the side of prudence
and benevolence. All their interests,
together with all their affections, made
them supporters of religion and loyalty,
law and order-they were born conserX-
atives in the best sense of the term 1t
was, therefore, of the utmost import
ance that they should study for them
selves the true bearing OF political
questions When so informed they
would be their best as well as their
most influential supporters. 1t was
the unique glory of the Primrose league
that it had from the first recognized
this great political fact, and that their
danes, without in the slightest degree
impairing the grace and charm of their
feminine attributes, had become a
mighty factor in their English political
life"

WHY MR.. LEIsHMANp

It is announced that Mr. John A G..
Leishman, who recently resigned from
the presidency of the Carnegie Steel
company, is a candidate for the posi-
ton of United States minister to
Switzerland. His candidacy is being
urged and backed up by Mr.. H. c.
Prick and other officials of the afore-
said company. In fact it is said that
a large amount of Influence is being
exerted in his behalf to secure him this
appointment.
The only reason assigned for the de-
sire of Mr.. Leishman or anyone else
that he should have this coveted place
is that he desires to reside abroad for
a few years and to be pleasantly en-
ployed during that period. It is not
suggested that Mr.. Leishman has any
peculiar qualifications which especially
fit him for the position of representa-
tive of the United States at foreign
capital.
1t would be interesting to know on
what this would-be minister to Switzer-
land and his friends of the Carnegie
Steel company base his claims to pref
erment. What connection is there be-
tween the manufacture of steel rails
and armor plate and diplomacy? If
Mr.. Leishman is qualified for the place
he seeks, how has he obtained his quail
ifications? What special interest has
the Carnegie Steel company anyway in
the selection of a representative to
Switzerland or any other place?
In the absence of any satisfactory an
swer to these inquiries it should not
be surprising if the public conclude that
claims to appointment under the ma
tional administration are based on no
loftier foundation than frequently ex-
list in the appointment of state officers
OF even policemen; that is, party serv-
ice or contribution to the campaign
fund.
1t has been frequently asserted that
the Carnegie Steel company was alarge
contributor to Mr.. Hanna's fund for the
education of the voter. If this be true
and it We're done for the good of the
country there can be no objection to it.
But if these liberal contributors to pop
ular education are going to demand
rewards in the way of political positions
for their members or friends, or in the
way of special legislation as has been
limited at, their sincerity and honesty
at once become questionable.
Another case similar in some respects
to this one is the appointment of Mr..
Hanna to the United States senate,
which now seems to be certainty. Mr..
Hanna is a successful accumulation of
wealth and a fine campaign manager,
but are those qualifications in any way
| necessary to wise and prudential states
manship? Here is a man totally de-
| void of experience in affairs of govern
ment suddenly elevated to the highest
| office but one in the gift of the people.
The people who think public affairs
are not managed just as well as they
might be can hope for little improve
ment while places in the public serv-
| ice are given out as rewards for party
service, campaign contributions and as
| the result of Influence
