DOVER RESIGNED?
ANOTHER RUMOR OF THE RE.
PUBLICAN NATIONAL SECRE-
TARY'S WITHDRAWAL
THE REPORT FLATLY DENIED
MIR. Dover, However, Declined to Say
What His Future Action Might
Be-To See Hitchcock
Saturday.

Chicago, Aug. S.-The Daily News
Friday says: Word reached Chicago
Friday from reliable source that
Elmer b. Dover, secretary of the Re
publican national committee, had car
ried out his intention, privately eX-
pressed to friends some. weeks ago,
and resigned his position as official
hub of the Republican organization"
Fred w. Upham, assistant treas
urer of the Republican national COM
mittee, expressed surprise at the
Daily News announcement. He said:
Il saw Mr.. Dover and Mr.. Hitch
cock in New York a week or so ago
and there was no hint of any such
action on Mr. Dovers part. If there
ever was any real feeling between
the chairman of the committee and it's
secretary l am sure it no longer eX-
lists. All was certainly serene be-
tween them when | was in the east"
New York, Aug. S.-When Frank II.
Hitchcock, chairman of the Republi
can committee, returned here Friday
night from his visit to the president
at Oyster bay, he had little 70 say
about the matters taken up. He said
that the president had shown great
interest in the plans for the Republi
can campaign in general and that the
state situation had been considered.
Beyond that Mr.. Hitchcock said he
ta1 I, ut Cd
that any conclusions were reached as
TO whether Mr.. Roosevelt and his adj
visers were for or against renomina-
tion for Gov. Hughes. 1t is under
stood that the policy of Mr.. Hitch
cock, in listening to what everybody
has to say on both sides of the
Hughes question, was approved by the
president and that the latter advised
that this course be continued until
the sentiment of the various sections
and classes in the state could be as
certained
Great interest was shown in politi-
cal circles here in the story printed
in Chicago Friday that Elmer e.
Dover, secretary of the national com
mittee had resigned his position. Mr..
Dover arrived in New York Friday &C.
companied by Mrs. Dover, who is
about to sail for Europe. The Chi
cago dispatch was shown to him and
he denied that he had resigned. He
declined to say what he would do in
the future.
When actively engaged in cam
paign work Secretary Dover's head.
quarters will be in Chicago AS al
ready announced, Chairman Hitch
cock proposes to appoint a vice chair
man who will have general super.
vision of the work at Chicago.
Chairman Hitchcock stated Friday
night that he had not heard that Mr..
Dover intended to resign and aided
that he did not credit the report. 1t is
expected that Secretary Dover will
call upon Mr.. Hitchcock Saturday.

The Dispatch learns with INFINITE
sorrow that that splendid, old, Chris
tian gentleman DR.. w. L. Lipscomb,
is nearing the ShadoWland, his con
dition for the past week having
shown quite a decline. Dr. Lpscomb
has been sufferer for many, many
months now, but with that Christian
fortftude, which has been a distln-
gushing characteristic of his life, ne
has borne it patiently awaiting the
Masters summons. Surely If ever
man lived a life of usefulness ne mas
surely if ever a man approached the
other shore with unfauItering falrh,
conscious that he had kept the faith,
had won the fight, DR.. L1pscomD mas

Civic Improvement.

Encouraged by the recent appeals
Of The Dispatch, the Reading Circle
feeling sure Of the cooperation OF /
every good citizen, has decided to
take the initiative in forming a Civic |
League in Columbus
Too long this needed movement
has slumbered in the cradle Of in
activity. none seeming willing to
come forward and assume the res
sponsibility Of organizing a band OF
earnest workers in this cause, so i
worthy of our consideration
The members Of the Circle recog-
nize that the task they have under
taken is no easy one, but this fact
does not daunt them and they are
ready to give their time and energies
toward the realization OF their
dream Of civic beauty.
But their efforts VIII be in vain
unless they are properly sustained
! Success here means the interest and
i |co-operation OF each man, woman
and child in the community.
Our stately homes, our rose en-
powered cottages and well kept front
yards have always elected the adml-
ration of visitors. but too often the
engaging picture has been marred
bv peeps into unsightly back lots and
weed euyfroned sidewalks. Dustless
parIors, coy living rooms and shin
ing kitchens are always excellent, but
these are less important than the
4 absolute cleanliness of the premises.
The tins, bottles and discarded
vessels, hid in obscure corners, that
hold even a modicum of water after
rain storm, become the breeding
places for the willy, disease bearing
mosquito.
Decaying vegetables, refuse from
the kitchen, impure flower vases and
their faded contents are a constant
menace to health.
open sewers, trash-ladened, water
soaked bitches. little pools Of stag
nant water emit miasm and health
: destroying germs.
Vigilance. eternal vigilance is the
price Of liberty" and exemption from
the ills born of such conditions.
1t is the purpose of the Reading
! Circle to form a league in which ev-
, erv individual of this community is
. urged TO take a part. The property
boIders, it is hoped, viii give per
! sonaI and daily supervision to their
surroundings seeing that all objec-
C tionabIe objects are burned or placed
in receptacIes for garbage and that
all weeds and grass are kept closely
: cut both within their lots and along
0 the adjacent sidewalks.
Our efficient and obliging stree
e commissioner, Mr.. ChiIders, engages
: to remove all garbage and the Gu
c grass and weeds if placed accessible
to his wagons.

Last year an amendment was incor-
porated in the measure providing for
the secret service which provided that
there should be no detail from the Sc
cret service and no transfer therefrom.
It is not too much 10 say that this
amendment has been OF benefit only.
and could be Of benefit only. TO the
criminal classes. The amendment IN
question was Of benefit TO no one cx.
reptlng to criminals. and II seriously
hampers the government IN the detec-
tion Of crime and the securing OF Jus.
tice. II prevents the promotion OF en-.
ploVees In the secret service. and this
further discourages good effort In its
present form the restriction operates
only 10 the advantage OF the criminal.
of the wrongdoer.
The chief argument In favor Of the
provision was that the congressman
did not themselves wish to he investi.
gated by secret service men. Very M.
tie Of such Investigation has been done
