Brother Chariey's Private Wire

According to the news dispatches
Charles Taft, the multi-milliona ire
brother Of the president, has just com
pleted the installation of private tel.
ephone wire from his mansion in Gin
cinnati to the White house at a cost
of $4,000. This wire goes through no
exchange or switchboard, but is con-
nected direct with the White house.
In other words, when Brother Charles
takes down his receiver in his palatial
home in Ohio it rings up the president
In a jify.
Now what Is the occasion for this
arrangement tn at has cost as much In
its installation as great many men
lay aside in life-time7
Why should the presidents brother
have any more Of privilege of cut
ting in on the presidents time at a
seconds time and as often as a S24,-
600 investment would justify, than
anyone else?
True, Charley Taft financed his
brother's presidential campaign, but
that is a matter between the Tafts.
The American people did not elect the
entire Taft family to the presidency,
and while it is none of the public's
business what happens in the Taft
family, it Is the public's business to
know why there should be any private
wire with the White house to enable
Charley to butt in on public affairs.
For 1t is quite reasonable to assert
that Brother Charles would not have
spent $4,000 in running a telephone
wire into Bills home If Bill wps not
president of the United States.

her that evening. 1t was the 18th Of
March-St. Patrick's day-and she was
going to the big ball Of the Loyal EN-
erald knights. Mr.. Mullin had worn
sprig of shamrock in the lapel OF his
well fitting coat. Anna blushed redly
and remembered with a certain fierce
exultation the day that Jimny's moth
er, ''Afrs. Alderman Mullin," had visit
ed the school The recollection Of her
rubicund face and good natured and
voluble flow of conversation quite drove
away the picture of Jimmy's good look
ing father. After that she thought of
nothing save the ball.
The orchestra WAS playing 1.-THE
Kerry Dance" when Anna entered the
ballroom with her sister and brother
in-law, and her little foot beat time
to the swinging measure with antici-
pated delight.
Her gown was a triumph Of. tender
love for the mother country and affec-
ton and loyalty to the new republic
that had opened its arms to her peo-
pie. Anna had planned 1t weeks be-

fore, and her skillful fingers had made
it-green silk gauze embroidered with
little golden harps, folds of white chit
fon inside the low cut bodice, and In
side the chiffon against her snowy
neck three folds Of chiffon-red, white.
and blue.
The enhancing music Of old Irish
melodies, the polished floor crowded
with brilliant gowns and the handsome
uniforms of the Emerald Knights. the
eager spectators in the gallery over
head, all formed a beautiful picture
that Anna began never forgot.
She danced again and again with old
friends and new ones whom her broth
er-in-law, Larry Fame, brought up to
her. AS she sat resting. her face
aglow with exercise and pleasure,
Larry approached with a large red
faced man. black Of brow and with
scowling black eyes. His smile was
pleasant, however, and seemed to In
dictate that the scowl was but a bad
habit
Annals heart seemed to stand still
when Larry spoke, ANNA, let me In
troduce Mr.. Mullin-Mr. Alderman
Mullin of the Seventh ward"
Then Larry disappeared, and Anna
found herself permitting Mr.. Mullin
to scrawl his name against the next
vacant space on her dance card, which
proved to be the one she was sitting
out, and so presently she was whirling
about in the stiff embrace Of Mr.. AL
derman Mullin. who growled a few
sentences above her head steDDed on
her pretty green shod toes without
apologizing and finally left her breath
lessly sitting on a divan in a corner
far distant from her little group Of
friends.

was for wage increase averaging 127k
per cent. and other demands concern
ed the rules of the service. The man.
ayers committee Of the AZ railroads
involved replied to the firemen's de-
mand with q statement expressing
their willingness to submit the matter
OF wages to arbitration, but declining
to submit the other demands involved,
on the ground that they concern discip-
line and authority and are not open to
arbitration. These points have to do
with the promotion Of firemen and
questions whether, when they become
engtnemen, they are still under the
jurisdiction of the brotherhood.
The men refused to agree to this ar
rangement, demanding arbitration of
all the matters involved, and the man
ayers standing firm IN their refusal to
acquiesce in this arrangement, the
men threatened to strike, and follow
ed up the threat with vote Of the ex-
ecutive committee TO go out on a date
to be fixed later.
The prospect OF strike is happily
averted by the railroad managers ap-
peal for investigation and Cancellation

How Dogs offense Saved Train.
Annoyed by the barking of a farm

animal for mile along the tracks of

parent1y placed there to wreck train

The Threatened Strike of Fireme,

The action of western railroads az
fected by the proposed strike of 81
900 locomotive f1remen In appealing
to the government under the provis-
ions of the Erdman act, is a victory
for the employees. The appeal will be
followed by intervention of federal Of
hctals, following the lines of recent
Investigation OF the complaint of teleg-
raphers employed on the Illinois Gen.
trail railroad. The recommendations
of the federal commission were ac-
cepted by the railroad and the teleg-
raphers.
. The railroads and ffremen had been
negotiating for six weeks in effort to
settle upon new working agreement.

The Butter Market.


Everybody knows that the price of
butter in this country Is fixed by the
Elgin butter board of trade. The mem
bers OF THIS board control the butter
output OF the United States and fix
the price at which the commodity IS
TO be sold at wholesale. The little
Independent creameries have to follow
suit. The Eigin board Of trade is the
only one In the butter business. Every
large city has its board of trade at
which live stock and grain are the
articles OF barter and speculation, and
although they manage to keep within
speaking distance of each other, it
frequently happens that they vary In
their quotations.
Wisconsin Is a great dairyfng state,
so Is Iowa, and both are members Of
tho union, but they all submit to the
dictates Of this Elgin board, which
goes through the Formally of OF meet
ing for half an hour each day. It is
likely that reports will show that some
meetings had to be adjourned because
of lack of quorum. But there are
times when a few members gather
and then they bid on butter. II one
OF them happens to bid too high, a
board of arbitration-part of the regu-
lar equipment Of the butter board
sees to It that he is not compelled to
hand over the penalty in cash; the
other fellow must settle at what is
called reasonable price. A member
can bid a dollar pound for butter
and get it for 80 cents, if the arbitra-
ton board decides this is about tbs
correct figure.
