MINISTER'S WARNED OF
THE WILES OF WOMAN

CHICAGO, March 16-In elaboration of
a recent warning to University of Chicago
divinity students to beware, during their
ministry of the wiles of woman, the Rev.
w e Barton, a Congregational pastor,
today explained certain remarks on the
subject made by himself TO a Presby-
terrain ministers conference yesterday.
'I myself says he. have known a
number of most diabohcal plans to en-
trap and ruin men of God, who were do
ing in entire innocence what they deemed
to be their duty. These plots are by no
means uncommon in downtown churches
Rev. Mr.. Barton had drawn at the con-
ference a picture of preachers without
guile beset by designing women, seeking
whom they might devour. He declared
the average minister a lamb of purity and
a child, so far as knowledge of the world
was concerned
For this lamb, he said, countless wo-
men were lying in wait, ready as instru-
ments of the evil one to shear him of
his robe of righteousness. and hold him
up 20 his flock and the scoff1ng public as
wolf in sleeps clothing.
81 should like to say that 1 believe
most of the clergymen to be good men,
but many good men are indiscreet," said
Rev. Mr.. Barton, in further explanation
of many women church members a
clergyman should so order his life and
so safeguard his relations with the wo-
men of his congregation that no breath
of suspicion should ever be heard"
One of the ministers who heard Mr..
Barton's lectures said he invariably had
his wife answer the telephone, because a
woman can spy out evil motives in an
other woman more rapidly than a man.

DEPOSED MAYOR is
CALLED INTO COURT

LOS ANGELES. Cal. March 16.-For-
mer Mayor A. c. Harper will be brought
to this city from Corcoran, where he
went after his resignation as mayor was
accepted on Sunday last. to testify be-
fore a special grand jury which will in
vestigate charges of graft in the city
government during Harpers administra-
ton.
w. E. Weber of the district attorney
office left last night for Corcoran with
a summons for Harper, and instructions
to bring the former mayor Of Los An
geles back with him.
1t was stated last night by friends of
N Oswald, the man who furnished E.
T. Earle the information he holds
against Harper and others, that Oswald
had left the city. A summons calling
for his appearance before the special
grand jury is in the hands of deputy
sheriff, but he could not be located last
night.

them that the prosperity of the country
was being imperilled by handful or
men who wanted to quarrel about the pre-
vious question instead of getting down
to business and passing tariff bill.
CThis statement is made on the assump-
ton that Roosevelt would have sided
against the insurgents just as Taft has
done. though the chances are he would
have lined up with the insurgents and
worried none of prosperity
The next morning the newspapers all
over the country would be full Of hot
stuff from Washington pointing out the
pin eadedness of the rebels, and show
ing how they were hampering the bust
ness industry with their petty quarrels-
Bonfires would have been built under
all the insurgents, and they would soon
be scurrying to cover. That's the way
Colonel Roosevelt used the press of the
country in all his big battles with con-
gress.
President Taft. however. is not talk
ing. He is accomplishing his object by
other methods.
Its like old times at the white house,
when Mckinley was there" said a vete-
ran lawmaker. Everything is peaceful
There is no strain, no embarrassment, no
feeling that your case will be disposed
of in a jiffy before you've a chance to
half state II. NO matter now small your
affair may be, the president will give
you ample time to make yourself under
stood if he deems it worthy of any at
tention at all. This is what you might
expect from man who has the judicial
temperament of Mr.. Taft, and who has
served on the bench.
Yes, it's an entirely new experience
for a man to go to the white house and
get a chance to talk consecutively for
more than thirty seconds" said another
legislator 81 remember once going to the
white house with delegation from my
town. In it was the president of a local
club who got into a dispute with the
chairman of the delegation over the ques-
ton of who should make the presentation
speech. The president of the club thought
that he should have the honor and the
chairman was equally sure that he should
be spokesman.
" Gentlemen, said I. do not distress
yourself over this important matter
Neither of you will do any talking
"'Why not?' they demanded in chorus.
Because l replied. President Roose-
welt will do the talking himself
A day at the white house now is inter-
esting, because it shows a big man do
ing big work. but making little noise.

his way into the white house feeling for
each step like a blind man., He is rapidly
losing his sight and it is only matter
of time before he will be stone blind.
1.-THE last time was here" said Mon
ey, was on January Sd, seven years ago.
Mr.. Roosevelt had appointed a Republi-
can scalawag as postmaster in Missis-
sippi town, and had called with General
Catchings, who wanted to tell the presi'
dent that he had been imposed on Mr..
Roosevelt didn't want to hear his APP
pointee criticized and said he believed he
was as good a man as could be found
l remarked that the postmaster was
the worst scoundrel in the county and
that no decent man would trust him with
a penny. We had some further CONVEX
sation and 1 concluded 1t wouldn't De
well for me to call again at the White
house This is the first time have oeeh
here since that event"
The Roosevelt is not always the Taft
method. The new president believes in
the power Of a soft word and the infiu-
ence of calm argument All the week a
scramble has ensued for the president
support in the fight on the house rules. A
rebel Republican-a new conner yet to De
sworn in-called at the white house, ac-
companied by one of Cannon's supporters.
The president knew all about the man.
Mr.. Taft believes that the prompt revision
Of the tariff will be endangered by fight
on the rules, and naturally he is anx-
ious TO avoid any row which will delay
revision and continue uncertainty in the
business world.
A Persuasive Voice.
A plump arm was passed through that
of the Hedging representative.
Now. 1 am sure" said a persuasive
voice. that you dent want to start your
career in the house by getting on the
wrong track 1t would be a mistake to
fall out with your party. / trust you Will
do nothing rash at the outset that you
may regret later on"
When the representative left the white
house the insurgents had lost an ally.
Another departure from the Roosevelt
methods was shown in the way Mr.. Taft
treated the newspaper men, or rather
didn't treat them. He has refused all
week to discuss with newspaper cores
pondents the fight on the house rules.
