CONGRESS IS DEFIED
TAFT REFUSES RECORD OF PAY.
MENT FOR PORTRAIT.
Executive Is Inclined to Accept Fact
Roosevelt Passed on Dea!
as Final.

Washington.-A lively controversy
over the executives right to withhold
confidential papers from congress
sional investigating committee was
precipitated by a fiat refusal OF Sec
rotary of State Knox, on the instruc-
ton of President Taft. to lay before
the house committee on expenditures
in the state department books show
ing the record of the payment for the
portrait of ex-Secretary of State Day
The committee is seeking to dis
cover what became of $1,000 of the
S2,450 voucher drawn for the payment
of the portrait. Artist Rosenthal re-
ceived only $3.50 for his work and
the $1,000 is unaccounted for.
The president held that $2.450 was
paid out of the emergency fund for
unforeseen emergencies in the diplo-
matte and consular service and for ex-
tending diplomatic intercourse with
foreign nations. which congress had
provided need not be accounted for
if the president certifies tat an item
should be paid from this fund. Presi-
dent Roosevelt had made such certi
fication.
Furthermore. Secretary Knox ex-
planned to the committee that it was
improper to produce the books be
cause thereby other undisclosed items
of expenditure would be revealed
President Taft in his letter to Sec
rotary Knox said that. in view OF the
facts and that the emergency fund ex-
penditure for this period have under
the express authority of congress been
certified by Secretary Hay "for my
predecessor, President Roosevelt. as
being OF such character as ought not
to be made public. feel that nothing
but some extraordinary circumstances
would justify me in directing you to
take such records before the commit
tee, because the discretion thus exer-
cised under the statute should. In my
Judgment, in general be conclusive
and binding upon this point"
The president added that when Sec
rotary Knox concluded his investiga-
ton of the particular expenditure and
submit the matter to him he (the
presidenO would determine whether
the money was lawfully "or dishonest
ly and improperly Incorporated"

ENCOURAGING BRIGHT PUPILS.

Parents and educators everywhere
viii be interested In the experiment
now being tried in the Cincinnati
public schools Of establishing a class
room for especially bright pupils,
which would appear to be the logical
accompaniment of the classroom for
backward pupils. The proposition
that it is as unfair to hold back the
apt or clever child in the ranks of
the mediocre as II is to speed the dull
pupil to a pace he cannot maintain
appeals as reasonable and common
sense. 1t will be argued with much
force that the system which makes
provision for caring for the backward
pupil cannot be justified without pro-
vision is made for accompanying the
needs of those who car advance more
rapidly than the average, says the ST.
Paul Pioneer Press. The proposition
simply provides for the application
to schooling of the plan. that is gen
orally adopted and followed in the
business world, where wage scales,
chances of promotion and all the ad
vantages are based on the ability OF
those employed to advance rapidly in
one line or another This has not
been the rule in the school where the
system has been adjusted to meet the
requirements of the average pupil
with special provision made for those
below the average. The net result OF
this system has been retardation, for
which the pupils are not to blame
The Cincinnati educators have decid
ed that the old system of trying to
make all children fit the same edu
cational pattern is unsatisfactory in
general and particularly unfair to the
bright pupils, who are to be given spe-
cial attention under a more sensible
and equitable method.

IS SCORED BY TAFT
COL. JOSEPH GAERARD is RE
BUKED FOR HIS RACIAL
PREJUDICE.
TURNS DOWN JEW SOLDIER
President Indignant at Treatment Ac-
corded to Private Who Sought Ad.
mission to Rank of Lieutenant
and Was Barred.

Washington.-Coi Joseph G. Gar.
rard, commander of the cavalry most
at Fort Myer, Va, was reprimanded
by President Taft because of his re-
lection of the application of Private
Joseph A. Bloom for permission TO
take an examination for promotion to
the commissioned ranks. Garrard
based his rejection of the application
on the ground that Bloom was the son
OF Jewish tailor and therefore not
desirable as social and personal as
sociate
Several years ago Bloom was urged
for appointment 20 West Point. Pres
ident Roosevelt, not being in a posi-
tion at the time to make the appoint
ment, suggested to Bloom that he en-
list and, like true American" fight
his way up from the ranks.
The young man took the 1dvice. en-
tered the army, where he is said to
have made good record, and recently
took his first examination for promo
ton. 1t is said that Bloom failed in
this examination, but in view of the
prejudice brought about by Colonel
Garrard's Endorsement, the soldier will
be ordered up for final examination
again in September
On this point President Taft, in
letter to Simon Wolf of this city, said;
i shall take steps to see that the
examination to which Private Bloom
is subjected is one in which he will
be given a fair chancc and not be ex-
posed to any unjust prejudice"
Colonel Garrard's Endorsement on
Blooms papers to which President
Taft so strongly objected, when
brought to his attention, was as fol-
lows: THE applicant is son oSaIo-
seph A. Bloom, of Jewish persuasion,
who is now, and has been for a num-
Der of years, tailor at this post.
His associates, as far as | know and
that of his family, have been with en-
listed men and their families and have
been respectable. The young man is
undoubtedly honest and upright. am
bilious and probably deserving, but
for the reasons stated l would not
desire him in my command as an Off
Ger ana social and personal asso-
ciate
The presence of the applicants
family at a military post would be
subverse of discipline and their
probable treatment source of norti-
fication to them and frequent cause Of
trouble to commanding officers. From
an experience of many years l have
found, except in few cases, few COM
munities where Jews are received as
desirable social associates"
In directing the secretary of war
to inquire into the matter, President
Taft wrote in part:
1T is difficult for me to read the
Endorsement of Colonel Garrard. set
forth in this letter, with patience and
without condemnatory words that had
better not be written. The statements
made by Colonel Garrard are not true
will. reference to the standing that
Jews have in this country; and re-
sent, as commander-in-chief of the
army and the navy, that any officer
of either should permit himself in an
official document to give evidence of
such unfounded and narrow race
prejudice as that CO ,tainel in this
Endorsement"
