Leaders Agree on Plan.

Neither the President nor the lead
ers of the organization had any doubt
but what the organization would win
out in the long run, but there was fear
of delay in enacting into law many of
the promises made to the country if
the insurgents were allowed to battle
along and delay legislation. After
several conferences between the lead
ers themselves and the leaders and
the President and his advisers, it was
decided that some plan of action must
be taken and taken before the regular
and arduous work of Congress COM
menced to either get the insurgents
into line or force them to go over en-
tirely to the opposite side.
The administration left the matter
entirely with Representative Dwight,
whip of the House, and Postmaster
General Hitchcock political manipu-
lator of the administration A confer
ence between Mr. Hitchcock and Mr..
Dwight resulted in the plan which was
stated yesterday to the effect that
all patronage would be withheld
from insurgents until they saw
the error of their ways and agreed
to support the organization, at least,
during this session

President to Keep Pledges.

This statement of the Presidents
was provoked by the publication OF re-
ports that he contemplated withhold
ing patronage from those Republicans
who withheld their support from the
regular organization in the House.
L1le President makes it clear that the
club may be used on insurgents who
oppose administration policies.
President Taft is playing politics,
playing them skilfully and for the
benefit of the whole nation. This is
the reason the administration has de.
cided to put the lever on the "insur-
gents" and either force them in line
or out of the party altogether
This was the statement made by a
prominent member of tie organization
in the House:
at developed that, in practically
agreeing to support Speaker Cannon
in whipping the insurgents back into
line, the President had but one
thought, the country. He has, after a
careful study and thought, decided
that conciliation was to be the only
method by which he could keep the
promises made to the country during
the presidential campaign. He is sin
cere, and so are the leaders of the or
ganization, about these promises
They feel they must be kept, and SC
have rallied around the Presidents
standard. In the first place the insur
gents have promised trouble, ane
from all indications up until the threa
to hold up patronage was made. they
were proceeding along troublesome
lines"

lashing. The car stopped at one of
the posts up town and a man and two
women started to board it. One of
the women and the man squeezed past
the chap on the end of the seat, but
the other women paused for few sec
onds before putting her foot on the
running board, and said to him: Il
suppose you wouldn't move a bit If
anyone would give you five dollars. y
The end-seater didn't say whether he
would or not, but he kept his place
and stared straight ahead while some
of the passengers behind him Uttered.
Then the woman climbed up and made
her way past him, looking pretty in
dignant.

Father Works Too

A big Brahma rooster bringing up a
brood of chickens after the old mother
hen had quit the job, is one of the
freaks of a poultry flock owned by H.
D. Prtchard of Brunswick. The old
hen evidently had turned suffragette
and declined to take any further re-
sponsibility for the chickens that she
had Matched "Chanticler," however,
would not be party to race-suicide
program, and rather than see the
chickens go cold and hungry, quietly
assumed to provide for them, gathered
them under his wings and kept them
all nice and warm. The hen looked
on disdainfully from the roost above.
II should be further remarked that
"Chanticler" also finds energy and en-
thusasm to proclaim the dawn In ex-
uberant and far-sOunding accents.
