Two Taft StenOsraphers.

Here is story of two Taft admins
tratlon stenographers which shows
how hard it is to work for the govern
ment these days and remain honest.
f. Nj. KERRY, stenographer to the
late Secretary OF the Interior BalIinger
exploded the whole Ballinger defense
by bringing to light the "LawIes mem
orandum. " KERRY wrote this memoir
andum, and knew, therefore, that
President Taft's letter generating Bal
llnger was ante-dated and frame-up
to clear the Secretary. And because he
revealed information which came to
him in his confidential capacity as
stenographer. Ballinger called him
unworthy" and discharged him.
Now contrast this with the case of
Miss Carrie M. Davis, stenographer to
DR. l.. f. Keller, of the bureau of
Chemistry. In his campaign to GUST
DR.. Wiley, Solicitor McCabe locked
Miss Davis in q room, and "sweated'
her for three hours because she refused
to dvulge confidential information
WHICH McCabe thought he could use
against Wiley.
kerby broke d confidence, because
he'placed loyalty TO the people above
loyalty to Ballinger and was discharg-
ed. Miss Davis refused to break con :
hdence, and for that sshe was cruelty
chastised by a subordinate IN an adj
mlnistration, the high officials which
frequently pirate about this.
