AMAZING LETTER
OF SECRETARY
Which Has Approval of
Our President.
IS A SPOILS PROCLAMATION
And An Open AVOWal of the
IndecencieS of Party
Graft.
A CONFESSION AND APOLOGY

The most amazing letter that ever
had the approval of an American
President is that of Secretary Nor
ton to an Iowa politician. 1t is at
once confession, an apology and a
surrender. Worst of all, it is a
CHASTITY spoils proclamation, with a
suggestion of bribery by patronage
and with no avowal of principle
whatever.
Mr.. Taft's confession is in these
words
while Republican legislation
pending in Congress was opposed by,
certain Republicans, the President
felt 1t to be his duty to the party and
to the Senators and Congressman
who seemed to be in opposition to
the administrations efforts to carry
out the promises of the party plat
form"
Mr.. Taft's apology, surrender and
promise of spoils are thus shame
lessly stated:
THE President feels that the val
ue of federal patronage has been
greatly exaggerated and that the re-
fusal to grant It has probably been
more useful to the men affected than
the appointments would have been.
In the preliminary skirmishes in GER
tain States like Wisconsin and Iowa
and elsewhere, he was willing, in the
interest of what the leaders believ-
ed would lead to party success, to
make certain determinations; but
the President has concluded that It
is his duty now to treat all Repub-
lican Congressman and Senators
alike without any distinction. He
will now follow the usual rule In Re-
publican Congressional districts and
States and follow the recommended
tiOns made by Republican Congress-
men and Senators OF whatever shade
OF political opinion, only requiring

MEMORIES Of
HALF A CENTURY
Cluster About the Annual
Observance of
PLACING FLOWERS ON GRAVES
Of Those With Whom She
Shared Awful Peril
Many Years Ago.
A wOMAN's TOUCHING STORY

New York, Sept. 21.-In fulfill
ment of a vow made Sc years ago, a
woman, yelled in black, visited at
West Long Branch, NJ, Sunday, the
graves In which lie the dead recover
ed from the wreck of the New Era
OFF Deal Beach. She placed flowers
on the graves, then knelt for a few
moments in silent prayer.
On the third Sunday in September
every year since 1854, except last
year, the woman has gone to the
cemetery, placed flowers on the
graves and prayed. When she was
asked last Sunday If she cared to tell
the reason for her annual pilgrim
age, she said:
II have no objection to telling why
I go to the cemetery. but l would
prefer not to tell my name. l was
one of the survivors of the New Era
when that steamship was wrecked
November 10, 1854. l was taken
from the rigging with a few others,
but several hundred persons were
drowned.
II made a vow that, so long as
God preserved my health, l would go
each year to the last resting place
of those who died in the wreck. Last
year was the only year ! have missed,
and I would have gone last year had
l not been Ill. l am now 20 years
old"
On the third Sunday of each Sep
TENDER the old cabmen at the West
End Railroad Station are on the
lookout for the yelled visitor. Dur
ing the drive to the cemetery she al
ways tells the story of the wreck and
recalls the details with the distinct
ness with which events of yesterday
ordinarily are remembered.

better health than she. had been for

the time of his release from prison
and his discharge from the army.
Yesterday he received a letter from
Representative Thomas saying that
he was in receipt of a communication
from E. B. Harper, auditor of the

$4,000 which will include private'S

Mrs. F. Marti, st. Joe, Mich, says
.Foley's Honey and Tar saved her

says: "Our little boy contracted a

which always had great faith. 1t

the choking and gagging spells, and

Here is an open avowal of the in
decencies that scandalized the Buc-
hanan administration and of the sor-
did favoritism that brought Grants
term to, humiliating close. Yet, had
as was Buchanan's DANTE war upon
the Douglas men and demoralizing
as was the attitude of Grants para

try was at least spared on both oc-
