STATESMEN REAL AND NEAR.
By FRED c. KELLY

Senator JEFF Davis OF Arkansas. in his
recent campaign for reelection, adhered
strictly TO his code Of unconventionalIty
with great success.
Frinstance: Grent preparations had
been made in one Of the smaller towns
where he was to speak for his entertain
ment. The committee had ordered a
seven-course dinner at the Palace Hotel
which was at least four more courses
than had ever been seen there before
and all the leading citizens OF the COM
munity were to be present to do homage
to the visiting statesman. The menus
and the paper napkins used by the hum
blest commercial traveller At the Palace
that day bore pictures Of JefT Davis.
As old JEFF was proceeding On foot
toward the hotel. followed by an eager
crowd Of admirers, a tall stranger in
felt boots elbowed his way through the
crowd and said:
Hey. JeT. en- a speak TO you sec
oRd?"
sure" said Jen. What's on your
mind?''
well. it's like this" said the felt
booted stranger My wife rode in here
thirty-two miles in wagon just to
hear you speak. and the blamed crowd
see you. let alone hear what you had to
say. Would you mind just steppin' over
here TO the wagon and sayin' howdy to
herr"
Jeff Davis assured the man that IL
would give him great pleasure to do so,
and he followed him over to an old
springless wagon. where a plain look
ing woman was supervising the prepara-
ton of a picnic dinner. There was an
ample chicken pie, coffee boiling over
a little fire Of fagots and other simple
foodstuffs that they had brought in from
the country.
That coffee smells mighty good" re-
marked JEFF, after he had shaken hands
with the mans wife and soiled-looking
children; I've got a daggoned good no
ton just to sit down here and eat with
you folks. I'm pretty fond Of old-fash-
ioned chicken pie, too"
In a few minutes the reception COM
mittee, which had lost track of him.
came up tense with suppressed emotion,
and said that he'd barely have time to
get to the Palace Hotel in time for the
big dinner that had been prepared in his
honor.
"Oh, I've decided just to stay here"
said Jeff This is the best coffee I've
tasted since I don't know when. And
talk about chicken pie! There's some
sense to pie like this"
And the Palace Hotel feast had to go
to press without him.
1t annoyed the reception committee
samewhat, Jeff's informality did. but oh,
what a hit 1t made with the hundreds
of voters from the rural district who
stood around the hitching racks discuss
ing the incident!
At the opening Of his last campaign,
Representative Benjamin X. Focht. Of
The Washington herald., 1912-05-16

William Howard TAFT. who is Presi-
dent Of the United States and is will
ing to undertake the task OF writing an
other inaugural speech n necessary. was
born in the usual State in 1857. He was
not poor boy. but went to Yale and
acquired a taste for Washington while
his father was Secretary OF the Navy.
However. he never considered entering
the White House until hts attention was
called 10 the matter by his friends in
1908.
When Taft left college he became a
newspaper reporter. but soon lapsed into
the law and for many years followed
the judge business with great success.
When Roosevelt became President. Taft
was made travelling representative OF
the administration. and for seven years
lived in a steamer trunk and a suit
case most OF the time, visiting Cuba,
the Philippines. Japan, and Panama reg
ularly, and applying the weIl-known Ohio
brand OF conversation to discontented
people all over the world with great sue
cess. It became quite the usual thing
for Roosevelt TO say: "Is viii on the
road this week? II he isn't send him
over to Cuba. They need talking 10.
And have him run across TO the Jsthmus
on his way home and date him for To-
kyo next month. Tell him we'lI forward
his laundry" During these seven years
Taft wore out nine suit cases and start
ed the now worldwide agitation for all
steel sleeping cars with extra sized
berths.
Taft's work in the Roosevelt admin
istration was so fine that in 1905 he was
elected President to his great grief as
he was greatly in hope that he would
be benched. He has occupied the Presi-
dental chair ever since. He has also
occupied upward of 1000 banquet chairs
and has eaten his way from coast TO
coast several times, amid great enthu-
siasm.

Marshal Won Bieberstein.

We read in a contemporary that the
German Kaiser has transferred his
Ambassador to the Sublime Porte,
Baron Marshal Won Bieberstein, to
London. because the peace mission of
Lord Haldane was an utter failure, +"
and because the Baron was anything
but man of peace, made use of by
the German Emperor whenever he
means to strike" and also that he was
, determined to strike Britain just as
soon as that country would be en-
broiled with another nation or at war
in some of her far-away colonies.
Readers of newspapers have but rare
ly the chance to see so much nonsense
crowded into one paragraph, and what
makes the faux pas so much more If
ritating is the fact that the expounder
of the situation is supposed to be a
man well posted as to matters interna-
tional
To begin with. if Marshal Won Bieber-
stein in reality were the swashbuck-
ling tool of belligerent master, to be
sent to represent Germany only at
such places where the Kaiser, being
tired Of peaceful overtures. contem-
plates to strike with his mailed fist"
why was he sent to Constantinople, to
act as confidential adviser to the Sultan
when the Turks threatened to revenge
the annexation of the Turkish Balkan
provinces by Austria? Why. has it been
the steady policy of the Berlin Foreign
Office to preach peace in spite of the
violation of the Treaty of Berlin by
signatory power md a powerful ally of
Germany?
The writer says that Marshal Won
Bieberstein, while Foreign Secretary at
Berlin, was the real. author of the
telegram sent by the Kaiser to Dom
Paul. the President of the Transvaal,
which was construed to be an at
tempt on his part to continue the re-
bellion against Britain.
How can any one in his right senses,
who knows the iron will and the char
acter of Emperor William, suppose for
one moment that any one could dictate
to him what to do and what not to do :?
Just the contrary. The attitude of his
former Chancellor, Prince Buelow, has
demonstrated that the main thing the
German Foreign Office had to contend
against was the Kaiser's ill-advised
speeches, letters, and kilograms. Ia fact,

Teddy and the California Women.

Woman suffrage has almost doubled
the popular vote in California, and Mr..
Roosevelt's success in that State at the
primaries on Tuesday was due mainly
10 the female ballot. In some States
which have given votes to their women
the latter have shown but languid in
terest Not so in California, where, ac-
cording to all accounts, the women not
only turned out in full force to regis
ter. but also went TO the polls in num-
bers close up to the registration figures.
This was shown conclusively at Los
Angeles, where, of $4,000 women regis
tered, more than o5 per cent went TO
the ballot box. 1t seems that to the fe-
males of the State Roosevelt appears
like true tribune of the people.
1t had been expected on the Pacific
Coast that Mr.. Taft would be defeated
in California. Now as to the lesson:
What IS there in the colonel's winning
in California TO indicate that, if nomi-
mated, he would, on election day, carry
Massachusetts or Connecticut or Yer
mont OF other States where he is in
disfavor? In his home State many Re
publicans will not vote for him. Mon
tana he has lost. In Indiana the fight
between him and Mr.. Taft has we'll
nigh wrecked the party. In Michigan
there is a sentiment hostile and wide
spread against him. Maryland is hope
lessly split, too Could, on election day,
States like these with a powerful Elec-
toral College vote be sacrificed without
giving 10 the Democrats both the Con-
gress and the Presidency?
Let Republicans look the situation
straight in the face. Such States as the
ones which Roosevelt may not carry,
or where his fight with Taft is splitting
the party, are absolutely necessary to
Republican success. There still is time.
Quit the quibbhng for the greater glory
OF the party, unless you open wide the
doors for a Democratic President. They
never had a better chance than through
this factional fight, and they are de-
termined to make the most of It The
best, in fact the only. hope of the Re
publican party is harmony.

BILL IS DOUBTFUL.
Compensation Measure Not Accord
ing to Labor's Point of View.

Compensation Measure Not Accord
ing to LabOr's Point of View.
From the Chicago Examiner.
After listening to an astute argument
in its favor by Senator Root. the Senate
passed-by a vote of 81 TO 15-the Suth-
erland workmen's compensation bill.
There are other good reasons-besides
the suspicious sponsorship of the senior
Senator from New York-for doubling
the excellence of this bill from the work
ingman's point OF view.
This bill was framed by the Employers
Liability Commission to apply to inter-
state railroads. 1t appeared that the rail-
road officials had the ear of the COM
mission and that the railroad employees
had not. Several memorials from labor
organizations have been presented to
the Senate, begging that the considera-
ton of the bill be put over until next
December. But the Senate had listened,
instead. to Senator Root.
Senator Hoke Smith-whose judgment
where unprivileged people are concerned
is much more reliable than that of
Senator Root-said In a communication
to this newspaper that this bill Is per-
nicious; that il Is filled with technicaH-
ties to facilitate the railroads defense
IN damage SUNS anu IndI II utterly
ignores the real interests of railroad
workers.
the bill provides new remedies for in
jured men-remedies that are difficult
and circuitous. And abolshes all the
old remedies OF common and statute law.
On behalf of the tens of thousands
of railroad employees whose lives and
limbs have been ground in the grist mill
Of railroad profits with a ruthlessness
unparalleled in any other country. the
Examiner appeals to the Democratic
House of Representatives to stop the
progress of this bill until the workmen's
side of the case has had a more con-
siderate hearing.
The Washington herald., 1912-05-16

do not We all know that ultimately this
very thing was the cause Of Buelow's
resigning. when he discovered that the
Kaiser. after expressing regret and
promising to be more cireumspect.
rushed into another muddle. or, as Bue-
low expressed ii, ~left Scylla to enter
charybdiss Y
The truth is to be sought in quite
another quarter. The present German
Ambassador, Count Wolff -Metternich,
an amiable gentleman otherwise, has
not been able to get into the good
graces of the British court and high
nobility. He was not the man to carry
out satisfactorily the Kaiser's out
spoken desire for friendly relations
with England. that should be estab-
lished firmly beyond the attack of jim
goism at the least attempt on the part
of Germany to increase her navy, while
looking on to see Britain do this very
thing year after year. Germany needs
this navy exactly for the purpose for
which England and the United States
need their fleets, namely, to protect
growing foreign and colonial trade.
Hence the transfer of Marshal Won
Bieberstein. He is just that what the
scribe in the article quoted says he is
not. He is amiable, absolutely unsol-
dier like, as much as any high Prus-
sian aristocrat can be so. And that he
is a schooled diplomat and not man
to be used as bulldozer, especially to-
ward the greatest nation and the smart
est politicians on carts, IS too well es-
tablished to be upset by irresponsible
Iamblings.
How often must it be repeated F?
There is not the ghost of chance Of a
falling out between Germany and Brit
ain as long as the present Kaiser lives.
He has said so in so many words in
the Mansion House in London-said
so more than once. Then why try to
make a ruler out TO be a liar whose
entire administration has been one de-
effort for peace and CONNER
ciaI expansion in his dominions? He
needed a good man of known ability
in London. Metternich was too much
Of an easy-going nature OF the old
school and not in live touch with the
progress of the times. Can any one
blame the Kaiser for sending one of
MS best men to a post where the main
tenance of peace and friendly relation
is the main, yea, the sole object?

DECIDE AGAINST STATION.

Commissioners Oppose Establish
ment of Structure.
Because OF lack OF funds, the Commits
sioners yesterday afternoon decided that

front, as urged by the Southwest d.
vision of the Associated Charities, would

The Commissioners recently received
from Justice Holman, Of Neighborhood

division of the Associated Charities, a
letter, urging the establishment of the
station. The matter was referred 20

E. Garges. chief clerk Of the District
Engineers Department, is chairman.
The committee reported that the need of
