TAFT THREATENS
CENSUS EMPLOYEES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-President Taft
today served notice on ambitious MEM
bers of congress that the newly-organ-
lied machinery for the taking of the
coming census is not to be utilized for
political ends. He addressed IS super
visors of the census at the executive
office and told them plainly that il they
used their offices or permitted the enum-
orators directly under them to further
political ends, he would remove them
promptly.
MANY of you-most of you-have been
recommended by congressman" said the
president land it may be that some of
these congressman will come to you and
expect, because they did recommend you.
that you owe them something in the way
of selecting the men as enumerators who
will help them in their congressional cleo
tions.
You have got to select the men who
you think will do the work, and If you
catch them doing political work, 1 wish
you to remove them just as 1 will remove
you If I catch you doing political work.
1t Is business. 1 am not quarreling with
the congressman"

WASHINGTON, Dec. H.-PreSldent
Taft today took a hand in Strengthening
out fractional troubles in the Republican
party i'm Tennessee. Postmaster General
Hitchcock escorted the warning factions
to the White House and assisted in the

For some time the party in Tennessee
has been divided into two factions, one
headed by Representatives Brownlow and
Austin, the two Republican congressman
from the state and the other headed by
H. Clay Evans, Newell Sanders, the state
chairman, and others.
The president decided today that i'm all

Austin. In those districts the congress-
men will dictate the appointments.
The president plainly told both sides.
however, that in the matter of appointing

self would pass upon the fitness of the
candidates, and would be responsible for
their appointment.

EIGHT MEN SAVED
FROM COLD EXPOSURE

NEW YORK, Dec. 1O-Eight men were
saved from probable death from cold and
exposure early today by the crew of the
Fire Island Life-Saving station. A party
of four men was crossing a narrow bay
near the life-saving station late yester-
day afternoon in a motor boat when they
we're driven into sea grass by stiff wind.
The sea grass became entangled in the
propeller the engine stopped and the
helpless launch drifted hard and fast
on a bar.
The predicament of the party was dis
covered at nightfall by a second motor
boat, which in attempting a rescue, also
grounded and became helpless. Anxious
friends ashore notified the life-saving
station just before midnight that two
motor boats were missing, and the search
of the crew soon revealed the predica-
ment of the eight men. All were nearly
overcome by the cold.

THE president nominated Judge Hor-
ace H. Lurton, of the Sixth United
States circuit, to be a justice Of the
United States Supreme Court, The ap-
pointment. regarded as the highest at
the disposal of the president, is com
mended, aside from from the personal
ability of Judge Lurton. for the reason
that II Is without political motive in
view, Judge Lurton being a democrat.
With the president II was personal
matter and regardless Of the pressure
brought upon him to name republican.
he appointed his old fellow judge of the
Sixth circuit. Judge Lurton was born
at Newport, KY. Feb. rs, 1874. He is
the Oldest man ever named for the Su-
preme court. The Justices age was
used against his appointment, but the
president did not consider it sufficient
to deter him from making the appoint

Col. JACK CHINN, of Mercer, says

Col. JACK CHINN, of Mercer, says he
will introduce bill making it a mis-
demeanor to discuss politics in a
house of public worship. Col. Chinn says
that he, and he believes every other
man in the State who has the proper
respect for the sanctity of the House of
God. is opposed to the sacred edifices
being used for political discussions. He
considers prohibition and its correlative
issues as purely political questions, but
instead of debating these issues as 9TH
er public questions are debated, in the
proper places for such discussions. the
antisaloon, or dry element. has been
making their principal arguments from
the pulpits of the churches. 1t is hard
" probable that Col. Chinn's bill will
become law, although it has some
good features.
