CHICAGO. April 15.-Whether
Lord Kitchener, head of the Brit
ish army, is a woman hater or
merely a man who ignores the sex,
is an unsettled question in Chicago.
When the celebrated warrior ar
rived in Chicago yesterday he was
interviewed" by a woman report
err. who asked him point blank re-
garding sentiments he entertained
for womankind.
Lord Kitchener, you have rep
utation of being the longest term
woman hater in the British Isles.
Is this correct?" demanded the
lady reporter"
"One must live up to on's repu-
tation," replied Kitchener, smiling
broadly.
Then the report is true?'
NO. | cannot say that" said
Kitchener. Il say one must live
up to ones reputation

KISSING THE PRESIDENT
BAD FOR SUFFRAGETTES

The mark of disfavor greeted
the president when he declared
that if suffrage should be granted
it would be exercised by the least
desirable element. Taft declared
that not all women were interestd
in the movement and not all of
them desired the ballot.
Then the kissing started and it
took some minutes for the presid-
ing officer, Mrs. Rachel Foster
Avery, to restore order so that the
address might continue,
Although the hall was Quoted
and the president finished his ad-
dress, the affair has left an unfav-
orable impression. 1t is expected
that the delegates themselves will
take official notice of it and that
they will decry the occurrence.

DOCTOR OF CIVIL LAWS.
Honorary Degree Conferred Upon
President Taft at Marietta College.

Marietta, Ohio. June l5.--President
Taft speaking at the 18th anniversary
of the founding of Marietta College
here today took for the theme of his
address the history OF the northwest
territory and referred to the ordinance
of 1887 for the government of the ter
ritory as the greatest instrument Of
fundamental law except the Constitu-
ton of the United States, which he
has ever been enunciated by men. The
study of the ordinance brought the
President to general discussion of
the celebrities of the American gov
eminent He declared that the pro-
vision in the Northwest ordinance
which later appeared in the constitu
ton forbidding the impairing of an
obligation OF a contract by law. has
been of far reaching Importance and
has tended to make this country with
it's Democratic government by the peo-
pie and for the people perhaps as con-
sentative a community in respect of
the rights of property of the world
The President delivered his principal
address at Muskingum park. Later
at the Congregational church, where
Marietta College conferred upon him
the degree of doctor of civil laws, he
made a few remarks on higher educa-
ton.
