ating the affections of BALLET II. VIII
son. of Santa Barbara, and Mrs. Will
son has applied for divorce according
to dispatches received today
The Wilson announcement adds an
other chapter to a peculiar story. 1t
began last June, when Mrs DeForest
left the hotel Gotham where she had
been living with her husband, to visit
a girlhod friend, Mrs. w. P. Leggett,
at Santa Barbara. She was to be gone
two months.
A month later, on the very day that

her father that she was about to apply

He son learned that on the way west,
Mrs. DeForest had met Wilson. Instead
of going to visit Mrs. Leggett, Mrs De-
Forest is said to have gone to the hotel
Miranar. near Santa Barbara, the same
hotel, by the way, at which Mrs. Will
son is now staying Next came the
news that Mrs DeForest was in Reno
and that Wilson was with her.
The most recent communication re-
ceived by Mrs. Wilson from her hus-
band was a telegram from Chicago say
ing that he was going to South Ameri-
ca. She replied: Fine. | hope you
never return
That was three weeks ago. Last
Tuesday Wilson was in Reno with Mrs.
DeForest, who now has cottage in
the divorce colony.

TARIFF SITUATION TO
BE ALLOWED TO REST

n 7 EW YORK, Aug. 28.-President
" Taft's letter TO w. B. McKin-
ley, chairman of the re~--hl'~an
congressional committee, w
public tonight by the New Yor.-
quarters OF the Committee TIE
president, in the communics aon. sNgs
that differences between rspublears
should be forgotten in the ron1f
sional election, and that all cenc
cans who believe in the pa
ciples as declared in its natio4 At
form of 1908, should give the 4ai-
dates loyal and effective suppc ~
this is done there will be no doubt OF
a return of republican majority"
As to the tariff, the president says:
1T seems to me that all republicans
conservative. progressive and radical
may well abide the situation with
respect TO the tariff until evidence now
being accumulated shall justify
changes in the rates"
Tafts plan for revision by congress
of individual schedules after tnvesti-
cation by the tariff commission is dis
cussed in this connection.
Education Is Slogan
The president reviews the more i'm
portant legislation enacted by con-
gress in fulhllment of its promises and
says: 1T is OF the utmost Importance
to make this campaign of education as
to facts and to clear away the clouds
Of Misrepresentation that have OBJ
scured the real issues"
The letter follows in part:
Beverly. Mass. Aug. 20. 1910.
My Dear Mr.. Mckinley:
AS chairman of the national re-
publican congressional committee
you have asked me TO give the
reasons which should lead voters
in the coming November election
to cast their ballots for republican
candidates for congress
assume that when this letter IL
given publicity the lines will be
drawn. the party candidates will
have been selected and the question
for decision will be whether we
shall have in the house of repre-
sentatives a republican or demo-
cratic majority. The question then
will be not what complexion OF re-
publicanism one prefers, but
whether il is better for the country
to have the republican party con-
troll the legislature for the next two
years and further redeem it's prom
ises, or to enable a. democratic ma
jority in the house, either TO inter
pose veto to republican measures.
or to formulate and pass bills TO
carry out democratic principles.

Forgetfulness Needed

Prominence has been given dur
ing the preliminary canvasses just
ended to the differences between
republicans; but in the election
such differences should be forgot
ten Differences within the party
We're manifested in the two sessions
of the present congress and yet
never in it's history has the repub-
lican party passed and become re-
sponsible for as much useful and
progressive legislation.
So. while issues will doubtless
arise between members of a repub-
1ican majority as to the details OF
further legislation the party as
whole will show itself in the flu
ture. as in the past. practical and
patriotic inf subordinating individ-
ual opinions in order to secure real
progress. Hence it is important
that after republican congressional
candidates have been duly and
fairly chosen all republicans who
believe in party principles as de-
clared in its national platform of
1903 should give the candidates
loyal and effective support. II this
is done there will be no doubt of
return of a republican majority.

from Port Townsend that the mother

lands administrations. Mrs. Stoner
is president of the Women s
Esperanto association of North America
and is an authority on the subject of
the proposed international language.
She has written a play in Esperanto
and has contributed many articles on
the subject to periodical literature. She
also has trained her small daughter to
speak the linguistic panacea, and little
Cherie not only speaks the language,
but writes poems in it. The gift of
verse is one of the child's most re-

Democratic Alternative

The only other alternative is
democratic majority. We may rea-
sonably assume, however, that a
democratic majority in the house
would reject the republican doc

the name of the former president will

as the original Roosevelt club, of the

The officers of the club wanted to

the powers in charge of the conserva-
tion congress arrangements
Roosevelt also disagreed with the
idea, but it is said that he has been
consulted about the new arrangement
and approves of it. Judging from the
distinguished men who have been in
vited to speak, it will be practically
an 'insurgent' banquet

Caution Causes Tragedy

Riding the wheels were Rodriguez,
his daughter and NJ. Garcia of s0S VAL
lejo street. San Francisco. None knew
line of vehicles and was bearing
down upon them. The three cyclists
and the automobile were making in
the same direction, northward in East
Fourteenth street.
Perhaps excess of caution on the part
of DR. Lewiston resulted in the tragedy.
Seeing the girl just ahead of him, with
her father riding at her right and Gar
cia at her left, the dentist sounded
his siren as a warning before slowing
down and turned behind the bicycles.
At the sound of the autot horn. Garcia
turned his head and looked at the auto.
Then he swerved far to the left, as il
to make an opening for the machine
between himself and Carmen Rodri-
guez. AT any rate. Lewiston judged
that Garcia was doing so, and he
guided his machine toward the open
ing, shutting down speed all the while.
Bioyclist Becomes Alarmed
Garcia seemed to become alarmed
suddenly. and changed his course back
to the middle of the car tracks, directly
in front of the automobile. This mar
rowed the opening between the bicycles
so that DR.. Lewiston had to run close to
Miss Rodriguez. He swung his auto

brought him out here, a young man,
from the east.
He rode far oft into the vast brown

and he shook hands with everybody.
Then he had lunch and early in the
