WIPE our PEoNAGE.
Mrs. Quaekenb0s Has Plan To EIlrnlnv
 mte Thfs Crime.


 nte This Crime.
 New Orleans. Nov. 22--An outline of her plans for stamping out peonage in the South was given out today by Mrs. Mary Grace Quackenbos, the only wo-l man special assistant to the Attorney General of the United States. Mrs. Quackenbos was recently assigned to investigate poonage in Southern States. ''one thing which I am compelled to fight against" said Mrs. 0uaekengos, Ifs the fact that few persons as yet realize my motives and purpose. With the proper support believe can coRias pIetely wipe out peonage in the South within the next year."
 Mrs. Quackenbos's prediction in based partly on her belief that peon- age Is not at all general. In her oFin- ion, immigration into the South will not suffer material set backs from tho exposure of this oppression on foreign labor. She says that charges of ops pressIon ln the South recently made in foreign countries are almost wholly due to letters which immigrants have writ ten home, and that a. government tn- vestigation, by removing the cause fcr auch letters, will benefit immigration. Today Mrs. Quackenbos will arrive in Jackson, Miss, to prosecute peon- age charge there against O. B. Crit tenden. a planter. When this ease iA settled, her investigation will begin In I,ouisiana.

MOST CRUEL CUT OF ALL Taftites So Regard For
 aker's Endorsement.
 OHI0'S POLITICAL MIDDLE Republican Clubs Action Was Like Explosion of Bomb.
 Presidential Candidacy of Senator Fer- aker is Not Taken Seriously, Ex- eept Its Effects on Taffs Fortunes.
BY !. R. HoRNAnY.

Columbus, O.. Nov. 22.--( -(Special.)--- The action of the State League Of Re- publican Clubs in indorsing Senator Foraker for President, which action was taken almost in the shadow of the Taft headquarters. is regarded by the Taftites as "the most cruel cut of all"
 That it was shrewd move on the part of Secretary Taft's opponents in Ohio, is admitted. The action forever knocks the props from under the claim of the Taft people that Ohio is solid for the Secretary" and it was much more opportune than was the meeting of the State Republican Committee some time ago when the Taft forces ss- cured an indorsement for their candf- date. This was done so long ago that many people have forgotten 1t. while the ingenious and patriotic league of Republican Clubs held its meeting and passed it's resolutions just at q time when the attention of the entire coun- try was centered upon national affairs.
 The move was engineered with such skill by the lieutenants of Foraker and Dick that the Taft people were scarcely aware that there was anything brew ing until the bomb had been exploded.
 The presidential candidacy of MT. Foraker--if such 1t might be termed is not taken seriously. except as to It's effect upon the fortunes of Taft. It ia 8CAHA&kAI ASN0&AkA%Q eAAA% AC AA0@ stgN mitted his name to be used in this con- nection for the purpose Of showing the country at large that Taft is not the only favorite son Ohio has. and to add difficulties to the work of the Taft forces in laboring for delegates in oth- CT States. In brief. the Foraker- Dick combination has again served notice upon the Taft people that the secre- tary of War cannot secure the presI- dential nomination without their coop eration and that their assistance can- not be secured until peace is restored.
 Peace would. of course, mean the re- election of both Senators Foraker and Dick to the United States Senate withs out serious opposition. There fs llttle prospect of peace. however, but should it become evident as the light pros gresses that both sides are In danger of losing out because Of inc confr0- versy. there will no doubt be scrans- ble to set together. for even among great political patriots. reasonable supply of loaves and fishes are moro to be desired than many scalps.

TAGGART WILL NOT
 HELP BOOM JUDGE GRAY

Indianapolis. Ind. Nov. 22.--(Spe- cial.)-Discussing the report that a boom would be launched in behalf of Judge Gray during the conference of the National Democratic Committee. which opened today at French Lick. John Worth Kern of this city, who Is attorney for Chairman Taggart and is in close touch with him, said:
 "I know for a certainty that MT. Taggart has been for Mir. Bryan for the last year. He has no thought of supporting any other candidate for President and all statements to the contrary are an injustice to him"
 It has lust come to light that the feeling against Chairman Taggart, aroused by his failure to be present at the Bryan banquet in Lafayette Monday night, was so keen that J. Kirby Risk. who was In charge of the affair. suppressed a telegram which Mr. Taggart sent expressing his re- gret at being unable to attend, The friends of Nr. Tag@art are indignant over this action and threaten to make trouble in a political way for the man who was responsible for 1t.

Carmichael Club Bill Is Killed Three Times,

declaring that the Senate, when it ad- journed Saturday. should adjourn sine die.
 Collections were made to the imme- diate considerations of both resolutions and they went to the committee on rules The Lusk resolution came back
 with favorable report. The Thomas resolution was adversed.
 Senator Thomas immediately offered an amendment to the Lusk resolution declaring that when the Senate ad-
 journed Saturday it adjourn sine die The amendment was adopted.
 Again Senator Lusk and his support
 CTS were apparently defeated.
 But word came from the House in
 an unoficial way that the House would refuse to adjourn until the bill had
 been passed. Tn short there was a pretty kettle of fish, Late In the afternoon the inevitable question bobbed up again. Senator Strother offered a resolution declaring that 1t was the sense of the Senate that bill could be taken from an ad- verse report and committed to another committee.
 Senator Lusk asked that action on the resolution be suspended as he thought compromise on the Carmi- chaei bill could be reached. He, Sem ators Reese. McWhorter and Moody held a short conference. They separated, all smiles.
 Then the amendments agreed upon were read. It was first provided that
 membership in a club should not be an offense against the law. that is that an innocent member of a club should not be held responsible for whiskey
 drank by another member of the club.
 It was further provided that all old clubs. that is clubs in existence before the bill was passed, shouiG retain their charter rights. Under this amendment the bill will prevent the formation oi new clubs to evade thesprohibition law which was the purpose of the hill.
 The general prohibition bill has also club feature.
 The new bill conpIements the pro | hibition bill and prevents the indis' crimfnate organization of clubs for thu \ purpose of evading the law. As ths | bill stands, 1t Is believed that old clubi
 will keep whatever right they had.

BITS OF HISTORY.

What American Women Are Doing.
Governor Dineen has commissioned
Miss Catherine Waugh McCulloch, Of
Evanston, as justice of the peace. This
is the second time woman has been
elected to such an office in Illinois
and the first in Cook county.
In the April election in the cities Of
the first and second classes in Kansas
the law and order or temperance
forces won a. decided victory. In all
these cities women voted, and hun
dreds went to the polling places in
carriages. Fifty women used their
private carriages to convey law and
order voters to the polls in Topeka.
Kansas City, Newton and Hutchin-
son, Kan, all elected women as city
treasurers at the recent election, in
the persons Of Miss Pierre Farron,
Miss Edith Jackson and Miss Ollie
May.
The more patience woman has
with her children the less she has
with their father.
