Former Senator Tells Him Not to Write So Much for
 the Papers
CHAIRMAN SHOWS UP
 REPUBLICAN LEADER
Treasurer Sheldon Was Once Turned Down at New York State Conven- ton for the Position of Lieu
 tenant Governor.

Washington October 2.-(Specia1. )-The President has had a suggestion from at least one frank advisor that he should devote energies to boosting Taft rather than answering Bryan and others. This adviser was former Senator Dietrich of Nebraska, who called upon the President this morning "I told the President that it would be muct better to tell the peo- pie about Tafts good qualities rather than to attempt to show up the bad qualities of his opponents said the for mer senator.
 That's rather reproof to the Presl- dent himself it 1t not?' asked corre- spondent.
 well I can't help that" was Mir. Dietrichs reply. Its something all of them should heed. This card writing con troversy has now reached the stage where 1t is merely a question of You're an- other and this does nobody any good whatever. The matters are so trivial and insignificant that no one takes any in- terest in them and it obscures the real issue
 Boost Taft and tell why he should be elected, rather than writing about other matters that are subsidiary and of little moment"
 Dr. Dietrich did not say how the Pres4 ident received the advice.
 One interesting feature of Chairman Mack's statement on the case of Treas urer Sheldon of the republican commit tee is the reference to the refusal of Gov ernor Odell to have MT. Sheldon as rum ming mate of 1902 on account of his trust affiliations MT. Mack is correct in his account of that incident Those who at 1 tended the republican state convention of 1902 will recall the incident. Mr Shel- don was proposed by the machine for lieu l tenant governor
 The point was raised that his connec- l ton with trusts would hurt the ticket Governor Odell's aged father, with his long white beard and white hair, mingled among the delegates the night before the convention, declaring that Ben" should not run if MT Sheldon was nominated for second place. At midnight conference the governor had his way and Mr Shel- don was displaced. So when MT Shei- don was chosen national treasurer all his business affiliations were we'll known and as MT. Mack we'll says that was the reason for his selection.
 A Philadelphia special says:
 John H. Converse of the Baldwin To- comotive Works, stated that he had made a personal canvass of the men in the shops and found them almost to a man for Bryan.
 I was surprised he said for I h. 1 supposed many of our men were repu licans. While I knew some were friendi to Bryan, had not expected such a gen. eral sentiment in his favor. It opened my eyes to find that republicans as we'll as democrats were going to vote for him. !"
 MT. Converse added that If the feeling among workingmen at large was what he found in the Baldwin shops. it was diff cult to see how Taft could be elected.''

NAPOLEON'S VIOLETS.
How the Imperialistc Emblem Came
to Be Adopted.


An old French pamphlet published in
1915 tells how the violet came to be the
emblem of the Imperialist. or Napole-
onic, party in France
Three days before going into exile on
the island of Elba Napoleon was walk
ing up and down a garden at Fontaine-
bleu. discussing his future with the
Due de BassanO and General Bertrand.
He was still uncertain whether he
should go to Elba quietly at the bid
ding of his enemies or whether he
should try to offer some resistance.
The Due de BassanO was urging him to
strike a blow for his liberty-bad ad-
vice surely.
AS the trio walked back and forth
they came upon a child three or four
years old who was picking violets
Napoleon called the baby to him and
asked for his flowers, and the little
thing gave the emperor all he had. a
silence in the political talk followed
until Napoleon. who always had Il vein
of superstition in his reasOnings, said:
"Well. gentlemen. l am thinking of
that child. That chance meeting seems
to me like Il piece of secret advice
warning me for the future to initiate
the mOdesty of this flower Yes, the
violet shall henceforward be the en-
blem of my desires"
Sire" said Bertrand boldly, for
your maiesty's glory like to think
that feeling will last no longer in you
than the flowers that inspired it,"
But the emperor. silent and mheed-
ing now. Withdrew and went to his
Erivate rooms. The next day he was
seen walking in the garden with Il
bunch of viOlets in his buttOnhOle and
stopping now and again to pluck more

Of the guard, was on sentry duty, and.
taking advantage of the laXity of dis
cipline that prevailed in this hour of
ruin, he ventured to speak to the fallen
sovereign
"In another year. sire, the violets
Will be growing thicker here. You car
gather them with less trouble"
'What"' was the answer. do YOU
suppose l will he here next year?"
"Perhaps sooner. We soldiers hope

almost all of them"
"Ah. well. tell them to feel, but not
to talk. When your sentry duty is
over, 20 to General Bertrand. He will
give you twenty napOleOns But keep
the secret"
ChOudieu did not keep entirely secret
the story of his conference with his
majesty, but he threw a veil over his
ailusi0ns and taught the other soldiers
to do so by calling their great and
! wOrshiped leader Father Violet. Little

his wife, Pauline =. Periowrasl,i.
figured in case Thursday in CITY
Court before Judge Cochran. The
husband was charged with wife-beat-
ing. Pauline said on the stand that
he had beaten her many times. The
judge was more impressed with tho
husbands story. however, and held the
charge up against him.
Alexander brought counter charges
against his wife and accused her ot
selling some of the furniture and coal
"If she does that" said the court.
"you have her arrested"
Alexander IS a good looking youns
man. OF probably % or &C. with nm
open. frank countenance, and had a
straightforward manner OF telling his
story. He also had witness - wo-
man at whose house he had boarded
before his marriage. She testified TO

him. one night his wife left the house
barefoot, and he demonstrated because
he said that he did not have any
money TO pay for doctors bills If sh'

"That was perfectly right" said the
