who helped betray the republican
members of the house in their
gallant fight to overthrow Can
non and the old Cannon rules.
Mr.. Townsend service to the or
ganization has endeared him to
all the friends of Cannon. At
the same time 1t is not possible
for other people to overlook a
hint of something savoring of
treachery in the selection of this
particular intermediary.
1t is entirely possible that sus-
picion does President Taft a seri-
Gus injustice. 1t cannot be denied
however, that the suspicious state
of mind does exist. So many
things have happened lately which
have seemed to show a studied eff
fort to repudiate the personnel
and policies of the previous ad-

is scrutinized with more and more

Hilda Spon6 Strong
for Her Queer Play

ST. PAUL, March 31.-Dram-
attic critics are "brainless idiots"
and the people of st. Paul are just
as bad. HiIda Spong discovered
the fact and blurted 1t right out.
Hilda was not pleased because the
critics condemned and the public
laughed out loud at the serious
parts of her new play, "A Man and
His Mate"
The new play is surely original.
Its hero is gentleman from
China, and he has all the manly
virtues. The white men in the
play are all mean villains and for
some reason or other the people of
the middle west section, who alone
have yet had chance to see the
play, have not taken kindly to the
idea.
Miss Spong says the play is a
good one, and she ought to know
she helped to write 1t herself.
A lawyer friend of hers wrote a
magazine sketch. She saw it, and,
together, they made a play which
the public insists on treating as
q scream.
II you want to join the brain
less idiot" club, let Hilda know
you do not like her play. She will
elect you unanimously.

DUTY ON COAL IS
ALL RIGHT He
DECLARES

WASHINGTON. d. c., March
31.-Representative Frank Mon
dell of Wyoming. in discussing
the tariff bill in the house today,
declared that the American peo-
pie should rid themselves at once
of the idea that duty on coal in
|creases the cost of the commod-
ity to the consumer throughout
the country in the slightest de-
gree.
He took up the general subject
of the coal tariff and in part said:
Whatever claim may be made
In that regard as to the limited
regions which might be reached
by Canadian coal, nobody having
any sort of knowledge of the sub
ject could for a moment contend
that a duty on coal increases it's
cost to American citizens gener-
ally by even the fraction of a cent
a ton."

Cleanliness.
This church, like many another one,
had had trouble about pumping the or
gan, and the plan of using water
power was gladly adopted. Connec-
ton was made with the pipes of the
rectory, which stood on the adjoining
lot. All the preliminary tests were
satisfactory. On the Sunday morn
ing when the apparatus was to be
used for the first time at a regular
service the organist arrived early for
a final trial. There was not a hitch.
The congregation generally knew of
the innovation, and awaited the open
ing strains of the professional with
uncommon interest. Not sound came
from the organ, however, and the
choir had to march in singing the
hymn as best it could, unaccompanied.
OF course the disappointment was
keen.

ington, Cincinnati. Hot Springs and
Augusta during the interval between
Taft's nomination for the presidency
and his Inauguration
1t is more than possible that some
thing of Charlie Taft's manliness is
due to that free rein within reason
able limits, which the new president
and Mrs. Taft have always allowed for
the development of the individuality
of each of their children. In her close
personal attention to her home and
the upbringing of her children Mrs.
Taft comes pretty near being a model
housewife, but for all that, she has
ever exercised the closest supervision
over the schooling of her children and
other main essentials of their training,
she has not made the mistake of
hedging them about with what might
perhaps be called superfiuous precau-
lions. The result of the commendable
Taft parental policy is shown in the
healthful se1f-reliance of which young
Charles is possessed
AS may be surmised from the fore
going, Charlie Taft has young Amer
ica's proverbial interest in outdoor
sport. Indeed, he goes in hard for all
sorts of outdoor athletics. He started
when he was in the Philippines by be-
coming expert at a number of the ma
tive games. When he accompanied
his father on the 1atter's trip around
the world he won a good share of the
prizes in the athletic contests on the
ocean steamer. When the Spanish
game of diabo1o became a fad in this
country Charlie was an early convert,
and this was succeeded by roller skat-
III 11, &c tn h OIL
Charlie now points with pride to the
fact that he is member of the foot
ball team and also the baseball team,
for boys of his age, at his unc1e's pri-
vate school in Connecticut, where he
is now pupil, and the president-to-be
recently gave his youngest son a course
of lessons in golf, declaring that the
time to learn this game was in youth.
There is no pose about Charlie Taft,
but no person could be long in the
company of the boy and not realize the
broadening influence of foreign travel
Of which he has had so bountifu1 a pro-
portion. This boy of less than IL years
has been twice around the world. once
via Suez and the other time by way of
Siberia, and on both journeys he had
opportunities for seeing places and
meeting distinguished people not
vouchsafed to any other juvenile in
his generation
For all that Charlie Taft is such a
devotee of athletics he is almost equal
" fond of reading-thus presenting an
unusual combination of tastes It is
pretty near an axiom that if you see
Charlie indoors he has a book in his
hand History and the usual favorite
tales of boyish adventure have the
preference in his literary menu.
Charlie will celebrate his twelfth
birthday anniversary September 20
next.
