President Taft Puts
Dick In The In Bad Club

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 26.-Consid
cradle mystery attaches to the letter
said to have been written by Prest
dent Taft, In which he placed Senator
Dick In the "In Bad" club along with
Sunny Jim Sherman because Dick Is
alleged to have broken faith with the
president by telling Walter F. Brown,
OF Toledo, chairman Of the state GEN.
trail committee, and other political
leaders that Taft regarded Carmi A.
Thompson, secretary OF state, as the
proper man to name as chairman or
the executive or campaign committee.
Yesterday the state central commit
tee, acting at the request Of Candidate
Harding, picked Lewis G. Laylin,
former secretary OF state, as the cam
paign chairman. Taft Is said to have
told both Harding and Dick that he
considered Thompson better qualified,
though he thought 1t better that Hard
ing, not himself. should be satisfied
with the chairman chosen.
Politicians here yesterday for the
meeting of the state committee were
all I'D In the air over the Taft letter.
which, according to dispatches, was
sent to an Ohio leader to Offset the in
fiuence of Dick in the matter. None
of the leaders here would admit that
he had received 1t. About the only
positive thing developing In this con-
nection was an admission from Sen
-ator-Diek that he telePhenedE Senator
Brown that Taft had expressed a de-
sire to see Thompson instead OF Lay
lin designated as campaign manager.

LORD KITCHENER IS WON
BY GOLF AT FIRST TRIAL
Conqueror Of Soudan Finishes Round
In Fine Style and Achieves
Taste for the Game.

LONDON, Aug. 25.-When Lord
Kitchener played his first game of
golf the other day at North Berwick
he made a promising start. though he
frequently commented on his strokes,
That's not good or That's no use."
He did not start from the first tee,
but slipped into a three-ball match
after a few holes had been played
with Mr.. and Lady Winifred Renshaw.
George Savers, brother OF the famous
professional Ben Sayers, coached the
conqueror OF the Soudan, and frequent
| ly insisted on him stopping and play
ing a second ball when the first had
travelled scarcely as far as the piece
OF turf dug out by the stroke.
Lord Kitchener confined himself
to a three-quarter swing and made
distinct progress. He finished his
round in fine style. He ran down a
four-foot putt at the seventeenth hole
and carried the bunker with his drive
at the eighteenth. Sayers teed him
another ball for practice sake. and
Lord Kitchener drove 1t $50 yards, a
good average stroke. Unfortunately he
"duffed" his approach twice.
Apparently his first round was
enough to give him taste for the
game. Genaral Botha, II may be re-
called, took lessons in golf at Marin,
last September

! These petitioners claim that they
have witnesses whose testimony VIII
account for more Sibley money than
the $42,500 set forth In the account
| filed by Mr.. Sibley under oath.
Corruption is not a new thing In
the Mercer-Venango-W arren-E For
est district. That votes cost money
has been automatic here ever since
the Standard Oil became a power In
politics. So the story Of the Sibley
campaign is an old tale retold for
the people. r.
1t is a story of the baldest kind of
coercion.
1t is charged that in Warren-co vo-
tiers were bribed by 81 bills, wrapped
in silk with cigars. 1t Is charged that
the Industrial interests identified with
the Standard Oil Co. frightened their
employees to support Sibley by issu-
ing yelled threats telling Of dire re-
suits to follow 1t they didn't vote
right" that minor concerns that
deal with the Standard Oil interests
were threatened with ruin II their In
fiuence was not thrown for Sibley;
that Standard Oil plants and steel
plants In Venango and Mercer-co
gave their employees half-holidays on
primary day that they might vote for
Sibley.
Mr.. Sibley got about 10000 votes.
According to Sibley's own account, 1t
cost him "a apiece to Inform" these
voters that he was running for con-
gress. Expensive as this information
rate seems, Mr.. Sibley's opponents
are sure that the real rate was very
much higher.
Quits Owing to III Health.
When the time set for the audit
drew near, after a feverish and fruit
less canvass OF the district in an eff
fort to gather up ex-postfacto receipts
from reluctant citizens who got Sib-
ley money, Mr.. Sibley announced his
withdrawal from the race, on account
of ill health" No one doubts that
Mr.. Sibley got out for his health.
On the day he issued his letter OF
withdrawal, Mr.. Sibley was arrested
by a constable from Warren-co, charg-
ed with conspiracy to corrupt the cleo
torate of that county. His private
secretary, Frank Taylor, was arrested
on the same charge, as were also
three of his henchmen in Warren-co
&c. d. Crandall, George B. Mum
and d. M. Howard-who are charged
with having received respectively,
$13,S00, $500 and $4,000 OF Sibley
money for distribution.
Mr.. Sibley's withdrawal from the
race Is held to be an effort to head
of the audit. Vulgarly Mr.. Sibley Is
charged with working a sympathy
gag" 1t rests with the petitioners as
to whether the audit shall go on.

DALLAS, Tex, Aug. 26.-The voters
or Dallas have used the recall" and
have shown that IL is a mighty weapon
In the hands Of voters.
They also answered many OF the ar
Euments against the recall. Chief Of
these was the argument that the peo
pie wouldn't turn out and vote In G
recall election.
In April Dallas elected schoo
board Of seven members. Five wer,
new men, and two, John c. Mann ant
John w. George, were old members
reelected.
As usual the old men, knowing tn,
ropes, ran things. They inauguratec
policy of secret sessions. The pub
lie didn't like the idea, but the board
didn't care. Finally, In a secret meet
ing, the board discharged two veteran
teachers. The teachers demanded tC
know why they were let go and what
charges had been made against them
They demanded some sort of public
hearing. Refused.
A citizens mass meeting was called
and committee named to ask OF the
board the reasons for the discharge
Of the two teachers, Jos. Morgan and
Chas. d. Tomkies. The committee was
treated with contempt.
Another mass meeting was called
and blaze Of indignation swept the
city. A recall petition was pre-
pared. 1t was leveled only at Manr
and George, rs being the chief often
ders. Two candidates were named Il
run against them at the special Of
recall election. These men were
ID. Carter, q civil engineer, and Johr
B. McGraw, union printer. The fac
that McGraw was a Republican made
no difference in Democratic Dallas
because the people were attending t
their own business Just then, ant
didn't mind party labels.
The recall election was managed by
w. r. Harris, attorney for public ser
vice corporation and representing the
silk. stocking element, and r. II. Camp
bell, district organizer Of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, representing
the working people. SO that class lines
were wiped out just as party lines
were.
All the politicians, most of the
officeholders and a fine lot OF IBIS
business DlUucnCc huou VIZ w bSo
the "recallers." They didn't want
the people to get taste OF the power
that the recall gives. There was
heavy pressure from conservatives
and school supply people, and a lo'
of talk about this being IAN attach
on representative government" anc
the campaign was bitter. All the news
papers-good party organs-fough
the recallers except the Dallas Dis
patch. which, alone, supported the re
call.
When the votes were counted 1t wa
found that 10 per cent more vote.
had been cast on the recall election
held In midsummer-than at the regu
lar April school election.
Each of the recall candidates hat
won by a 20 per cent plurality, ant
the star-chamber gentlemen were
ousted from Office.
The board of education now trans
acts business with open doors, and the
professional politicians are sad.
Thus Dallas places herself beside
Los Angeles in leading the way TO
ward the making Of public servant
rather than public tyrants out OF of

Furthermore, Mr.. Sibley's estimate

BERLIN, Aug. 25.-The kaiser has
seized an opportunity OF ventilating
his views on the feminist movement,

ances has been made public, presum-
ably with his majesty's permission.
He views with profound sympathy

His majesty believes In technical ed

ia inevitable, and could not be denied

Consequently, women lawyers, wo

In brief. the kaiser Is a supporter OF
averv nhase Of the new woman move
ment. with The single exception OF its
political aspect He Is resoiute op-
nonent of woman suffrage. He abhors
the idea OF women in political life.
The introduction Of woman suffrage
IN anv country appears to him to be
an unmistakable sign OF hopeless de

of the end of any country. Conse-
ouently. his majesty has an aversion
