ORACLE WARE SPEAKS.
Pension Commissioner Puts Some
Handwriting on the Wall.


Washington. Sept. 20.-Some time
between the closing hour on Saturday
and the time the clerks reported for
duty Yesterday morning a legend was
painted on the wall in the main reeep-
tion room of the pension bureau by
order of Commissioner Ware. 1t reads
as follows:
'The Lord Hates Liar" What
motive the commissioner had in put
ting up the inscription no one knows
He declined to discuss the matter
When asked about it he said he was
too busy to talk.
From another source it was learned
that for ten years the commissioner
has had the same phrase printed or
the wall over his desk in his law of
fee in Topeka.

only be made consistently with the

1.-The Republican party has firmly
established the gold standard against
violent Democratic opposition Our
monetary system, which is the best in
the world, is the rich fruit of Repub-
lican craftsmanship. We have more
money among the people than we ever
had in the history of the republic and
it is of an unqueStiOned Soundness
and purchasing power We commend
President Roosevelt for his faithful
enforcement of the laws applicable to
com binations of capital in restraint of
which the Derlo rate party, when in
power, refused to execute; and to
further prevent corporate evils, we
have placed on the statute books adj
ditional laws providing for publicity,
preventing rebates by railroads and
creating the department of comm cree
and la Dor for the more effectual su-
perVisiOn and enforcement of the laws.
1--WE approve the reciprocity treaty
with the republic of Cuba. Our rela-
lions with the new republic should al
ways be such as are dictated by JUS
tice and generosity, to the end that
the ties which bind the two peoples
together in commerce and amity may
prove the course of President RooSe-
welt in protecting the imperiled inter
ests of Americans upon the Isthmus
of Panama; in promptly recognizing
the independence of the people and
the republic of Panama and insuring
a treaty with that republic under
which the United States may construct
an interoceanic canal in the interests
of the commerce of the world; and
we further commend the promptness
and energy with which he is pushing
forward the work of this great enter
prise.
American administration in the
Philippines has resulted in peace to tie
people honest government, equal JUS
tice to all, Improvement in material
/ conditions and the spread of educa-
ton. No nations work for civilization
has surpassed that of the republic in
4 the archipelago. To that policy we will
steadfastly adhere.
I'VE favor the principles of arbitrq-
/ ton in the adjustment of internal dis
/ putes where they do not involve ma
\ tional honor, and we commend the al
ministration of President Roosevelt on
/ it's effort to embody these principles in
/ treaty compacts with other powers.

JOINTS OBJECT TO PRICE.
ArmourdaIe ProprietOrs Refuse t.
Pay 500 License Fee.

Kansas City. Kas., April 27.-The
police department here started out
Tuesday in the Armourdale district to
enforce Mayor Gilbert's new order of
making the jOintists pay fines of S10J
each month, instead of $50 each
month, as heretofore. In consequence
practically every one of the forty
Joints in the Armourdale district is
closed and that part of the city is
"dry."
Many of the jointists in other parts
of the city had paid their fines of
500 and they are doing business as
usual. 1t is the announced policy Of
the police, however, that all jointists
must pay their fines of 500 or quit
business
The sudden closing of the joints
caused inconvenience to many of the
men who work in the packing houses,
who are accustomed to eating their
MONDAY luncheon in the joints. The
restaurants and eating houses were so
crowded that they could not accom-
rnodate the people and there was also
e run on bakeries and grocery stores.

MATSON COMRS BACK.
Insists That His Charges Against
Cleveland Are True.


Washington, April 27.=Representa-
tive Hardwick of Georgia presented in
the house letter from Thomas E.
Watson, reaffirming his charge that
Grover Cleveland, while governor OF
New York, signed a bill for mixed
schools in that state and that while
president he entertained a negro at
the White House and also appointed
government to a white foreign coun-
try. The original charge was denied
by the ex-president in a letter to Rep
resentative Bartlett of Georgia, which
letter was read on the floor of the
house. Mr.. Cleveland, in his denial,
was sarcastic. Representative Hard
wick sent the letter of Mr.. Watson
to tho clerk s desk and it was read.
In part it says:
In the name of fair play, as a mat
ter of mere justice, 1 beg that you
will have this letter of mine read in
the same manner, in order that it
shall be known upon what grounds 1
based the statements which Mr.. Cleve-
land so insultingiy denies. First, 1
claim that he favored mixed schools
in New York. He says that he op-
posed them and that the measure was
defeated. His signature Will be found
to the act of May 5, 1884, which
changed colored schools into mixed
schools. See page 307, chapter PAS,
New York laws. He approved and
signed the act. He did not veto it,
although he was fond of vetoes.
I insist that Fred Douglas and wife
were guests at the wedding reception
of Mr. Cleveland. This was at he
White house and proof is found in
newspaper reports of the reception.
When I said that he appointed a no
gro to be minister to one of the white
republics of South America 1 knew
that the proofs would sustain that
statement, also c. H. J. Taylor was
the negro and Bolivia was the country.
Representative Bartlett. however,
arose and had inserted in the Record
a newspaper story to the effect that
Watson was not a Democrat and his
exposure of Cleveland was made for
political purposes Mr.. Watson is Il
Populist He was the Populist can
didate for vice president when Mr..
Bryan was indorsed in 1896. He is the
author of several histories, one of
France, one of NapOlean and one of
Thomas jefferson.

MAY BE SPECIAL SESSION.
President Determined to Have Action
on Crum Nomination.

on Crun Nomination.
Washington, April 27.-President
Roosevelt may call an extraordinary
session of the senate if final action on
nomination of DIR. w. D. Crum to be
collector of the port of Charleston, S.
c., is not taken at the present session.
He has considered with several lead
ing members of the senate the advisa-
bility of such action and it is known
that some of them, at least, are in
favor of the extraordinary session.
Senator Alger with whom the presi-
dent talked today, said he was in favor
of remaining here until the nomination
of DR.. Crum was confirmed. Other Re
publican senators entertain the same
view. The president feels that both
he and heappointee are entitled to
definite action on the nomination by
the senate. It has been suspended in
the air for nearly two years, being
postponed from time to time for var
iOus reasons.
A definite DIGESTION as to the calling
of an extra ordinary session of the SEN
ate probably will be reached by the
president before the adjournment Of
the present session.

PULLMAN is RAISED.
Must Pay on Greater Valuation Than
Last Year.

The Pullman company will pay taxes
on a valuation of $685.. 900 this year, as
against $685., 500 last year. The increase
is on account of the increased number
OF Pullmans which are running in
Kansas, as the rate of valuation is the
same. The valuation per car is S. 900
for standard sleepers and $500 per
car for tourist sleepers, the same as it
was a year ago.
This year the Pullman companies e
port 1913 cars on the entire systems
of all roads operating in Kansas, and
of these the proportion to be assessed
in Kansas is ia. Last year there were
326 cars opera ting on the entire sys-
TENS Of Kansas roads, and 81 We're as
sessed in Kansas.
OF the III cars which will pay taxes
in Kansas this year. "a are standard

Manhattan, Kas.. April 27.@The re-
port that Chauncey Dewey and his
father had quarreled and that Chaun-
cey had been dismissed by his father
is current here The Deweys have not
been in Manhattan for the past week
1t was rumored here that Mr.. Dewey
did not approve of the actions OF
Chauncey while having charge of the
western ranch, hence the origin OF the
quarrel. Chauncey, however, had con-
templated going to Denver for some
time before he left Manhattan. a
week ago Senator Hessin, Dewey's
attorney, says there IS no truth in the
report that the Deweys had quarreled
and that Chancey had left on that
account.
