The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1911-12-07

Ortie McManigal took the
stand today before the federal
grand jury at Los Angeles to tell
what he knows of the alleged dy-
namiting conspiracy.
Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of La
Dor, and Frank M. Ryan, presi-
dent of the Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers, quarreled in
Washington today over the dis
position of the remaining McNa-
mara defense fund.
Ryan left Washington just be-
fore the meeting of the McNa-
mara ways and means commit
tee of the A. F. of L. was to have.
been held. He took an eastbound
train, presumably for Indianapo-
lis.
Earlier in the day, Ryan had.
stated definitely that he would at
j tend the meeting.
Gompers locked himself in his
office, and refused himself to
newspapermen. /
The McNamaras, both through
Clarence barrow and through
their jailer, sent out message
that on no account would they /
tell anything they might know of
a dynamite conspiracy before the
federal grand jury.
barrow said: Joe McNa-
mara will tell nothing. He no
squealer. He will trade nothing
with anyone, whatever favors
may be offered him."

The Light Keepers Daughter

Captain w. A. Beeman is the keeper
of the Light at Point Iona, the most
southwestern in the United States.
For Is years he has tended this and
other Pacific Coast beacons to mar
liners, and thousands of tourists to San
Diego have visited Point Iona, had the
mechanism of the light explained to
them, and have gazed out on the broad
ocean as Balboa did when he, first of
all white men, saw its broad, peaceful
expanse. Between now and the close
Of the Exposition, December 81, 1915,
many thousands more will visit the
famous light, and their interest in it
will be increased by the knowledge
that Captain Beeman has a pretty
daughter, now Is, Virginia Beeman,
who often relieves her father in caring
for the light, and who knows the
marine signals as well as the Captain
himself. A new vapor light has just
been installed here at a cost of
$25, 600 1t develops 100000 candle
power. Virginia was asked by visit
or if she did not get lonesome, and her
reply is we'll worth recording.
Lonesome" she exclaimed. 'With
the sea and the cliffs, and the roar of
the breakers, and the chance of going
fishing and not knowing what you'll
catch, and the chance to swim and
row and to help keep the light? And
then think of the ships coming in, and
know that every one making the har-
Dor, or leaving it, or passing out to
sea, is looking at the light, and that
her officers know that dad is here at
tending to his duty, and mamma is
here and am here. Why, you can't
be lonesome when so many people are
thinking of you. And think how i'm

WHICH DOES
HE PREFER?

WHICH DOES
HE PREFER?
The Republican nomination for the
presidency can be given to a candidate
in two ways
First, by response to the popular
demand of the people.
Second, through the manipulation of
delegates in the South by Federal office
holders upon dictation from Washing
ton.
The Republican Progressive Confer
ence at Chicago recently called upon
the Republican committees in the
various states to provide for a pres
idential preference primary.
The Republican patronage machine is
proceeding on the theory that the Re-
publican national convention next year,
as in previous years, will be packed
with the patronage delegates of the
South.
Which method does President Taft
prefer?
Does the President wish the nom
mating convention to respond to the
demands of the people?
Is the President willing to submit
his case to the people?
Is the President willing to allow the
Republican voters to decide whether
his administration entities him to
another nomination?
Is the President willing to allow the
rank and file of his party to select the
man they desire to lead in 1912?
Or, does the President wish the nom
lnation presented to him by men who
are either holding Federal offices in the
South as reward for previous work
for the patronage machine or who hope
to be rewarded for work in the coming
campaign?
Does the President desire his NOM
ination from men representing states
which do not contribute single Re-
publican vote in the Electoral College?
Does the President desire the NOM
ination from minority of voters, re-
CARELESS of the demand of the majority
of his party?
The President can easily ascertain
the state of puplic mind by joining
with the Progressive Republicans in
demanding that the voters be given the
right to select the man who shall be
their party leader in 1912 Will he do
it? If not, why not?

BEST WORK IN AMERICA BY
STATE AND UNIVERSITY

"What may be justly described as
the best work for we'll balanced civ
iliZation that is doing in America to-
day" is being done by the University
of Wisconsin, according to an editorial
in the Kansas City Star of last week.
Governor Stubs of Kansas and
Chancellor Strong of Kansas Univer-
sity are engaging in finely construc-
tive work for Kansas in their under
taking to coordinate the state and the
school after the manner of the Wiscon-
sin University continues the editor
of the Star. with other state officials
and university teachers the governor
and the chancellor are going soon to
visit the remarkable institution at
Madison, Wisconsin,, the institution
which is half university and half state
and is all efficient government. One
finds in Madison the most inspirational
and hopeful atmosphere that can be
found anywhere. There is the very
finest evidence of conscious citizenship
in Wisconsin that can be imagined.
''Now, by all natural rights Kansas
has more to be proud of than Wiscon-
sic has. Its people have certainly as
much right to take pride in their citi-
zenship and to assert their daily pro-
prietorship in the affairs of the com
monwealth. So Mr.. Stubs and DR..
Strong should be able to count on the
most loyal support of all the Kansas
people in their efforts to create for
them the same university and state
institution Of efficient democracy which
the Wisconsin state and university
have built up

compulsory domestic service for WON
en-. On the theory that life In bar
rack and drill in the manual Of arms
have benefited German manhood, she
asks, why will not life in the kitchen

hood?
If Germany ever organizes stand
ing army of cooks it may force all
Europe to follow it's lead. Culinary
CONSUMPTION is a severe measure, but
when enforced in Germany other ma

There would be more reason in doing

One day a drOver came aIOAe .ne
pike with long string of oxen and
stopped at the Black Bear Inn, and
engaged a pasture for his cattle over
night The drover was new in that
part of the country, and for safety he
handed his pocket book, containing
several hundred dollars. to John Hartz
for safe keeping. in the presence Of
Weisgarber. Shortly afterwards when
the drover was out attending to his
cattle, Weisgarber suggested the idea
to John of changing the good money
in the pocket book for an equal
amount of counterfeit that he had on
thought his step-father knew best In
the morning the drover received his
pocket book and proceeded to count
its contents. He at once saw that
the bills were Of a different kind than
those he had been carrying. He
pulled counterfeit dotectOr from his
pocket and examined them. Having
satisfied himself that they were bad,
he charged John with having substi-
tuted them. The accused mans face
turned red and he began to stammer,
but his step-father who was standing
by, came at once to the front and COM
menced to talk in German to John.
Turning to the drover he protested in
badly broken English that the young
man was honest and hadn't even
opened the pocket book. Between the
two the drover got a tongue flashing
for his accusation that SO completely
upset him that he was none too sure
that he ever had any money. He was
now in bad fix; g long ways from
