Washington. May 12.-Unable to cross the continent to campaign in California, President Taft today sent by telegraph to the men and women republicans of that state his arguments for support in the presidential primary election on Tuesday.
 The Presidents telegram was sent to Colonel Charles M. Hammond, manager of the Taft forces in San Francisco, and brother-in-law of Colonel Roosevelt. It was also sent to P. A. Stanton, the Taft manager at Los Angeles.
 In the message President Taft reviewed the achievements of his administration, as serted that Colonel Roosevelt was not giving to him a square deal, but was ap- pealing to class hatred and forcing sham issues. The tetlegram in full follows:
 "on the eve of your presidential prl- mary in California l venture to appeal to the republican men and women who ex- ercise the franchise to consider fairly and well the legislative and executive achievements of my administration and especially those which have affected Cali fornia, and say whether they do not de- serve approval by the people of Cali fornia

UNION PRINTERS
 WILL NOT STRIKE Chicago Printers Refuse to Go Out in Sympathy
 With Pressmen

Chicago. May 12-By a vote of 1899 to 655. members Of the Typographical union today voted not to go on strike in sym pathy with the pressmen who are out in all Chicago daily newspaper offices. J. M. Lynch, international president of the Typographical Union, and Walter w Bar rett, president of the Chicago local, ex- pressed themselves as well pleased with the result
 "Tbis vote Is final" said Rfesident Lynch. 'I am well pleased with the re- suit. I believe the pressmen who are out and the stereotypers who went out in sympathy with them are well able to take care of themselves. It would have been a bad thing to have broken our contract with the publishers It could not have been done by clear headed men who believed in fairness.
 The pressInen were downcast over the failure of the Typographical union to join them.
 President James M. Iynch's afternoon address to the printers was couched in plain language. Recalling the strike of the printers in 1905 and 1906, he said he had gone to the international officers of the pressmen's union and urged them not to make new con- tract for longer than eight hours U day. Despite his pleading, he con- tiaued, a nine-hour contract was signed and the printers were left to fight their battle alone. That was not the only time the printers had been forced to make their own fights. he declared.
 Members of the faction which is op- posing President Lynch for reelection distributed during the meeting pamph- let's attacking him.
 L. P. Straube, president of Stereo- typers' union No. 4, the charter of which has been revoked by International President James s. Freel, will appeal to the convention, which meets in San Francisco June 10.

From the NeWpSrt NEVIS
 It does not take so much time after all to spend few minutes of the day in trying to be a little more courteous to those around us thus not only bringing more pleasure into the lives of others but at the same time making our own much better and easier in every way A little politeness means much in this world. and no day need be so hurried that courtesy cannot be shown to some one If this be realized those who de- cry the manners of the present day will soon see that the old art of politeness is not lost. but still given it's place in the life of the modern world.

COMMENCEMENT SERMONS

superintendent. There were present s. V. Woodfn, w H. Lovelace and H. Q. Murfee of Marion and Col. B. K. Ellis of Orrville. The usual routine business was transacted, in addition to passing appropriate resolutions on the death of the former superintendent, Col. James T. Murfee At this session successor to Colonel Murfee was elected on the b hrard but the name was held until it was known the person selected would accept the place Hopson O. Murfee was elected superintendent for the coming year. The affairs of the institution were found to be in first class con dition and the institution in most thriving condition. The attendance of the present session is far in excess of former years and the general char acter of the student work of most satisfactory nature.
 The recent successes of the athletic department in successfully defeating all the old rivals has brought about dent body and the andidates for hon CTS in this department are many. The athletic feature of the institution be- ing on very high plane has been the means of attracting a number of unusually strong young men to the institute this year.
 A commencement item not on the programme of Judson college happened on Saturday morning, when Miss An nie z. Mcleod, a teacher in the acad- emy department of that institution, was married to Smith Pace of Ma rengo county at the residence of Dr R. G. Patrick, pr. Paul V. Bomar per- forming the ceremony. The bridal cou- pie left immediately for an extended bridal tour.
 
 This has been the best day of the commencement season. The attendance has been up to the expectation and all have expressed themselves as enthu- siastic of the advantages offered by Marion for educational purposes. It is a source of much qualification to the cit izens of the town that the seminary has reached the point of permanacy and that the effort made for the en- 1argement of Marion institute has brought about such a wonderful i'm provement in the attendance of the school. Judson college shows about the same material interest of former years, the attendance being abuot the same as last year.

"The statement that I suspended an order made by the Indian commission CTS affecting the garb of teachers in certain Indian schools. which have been transferred from the Catholic church to the government, is true. I did this for the reason that the commissioner has issued the order after consulting with the Secretary of the Interior and without awaiting his conclusions The propriety of the order has now been wade the subject of an open fnee dis cussion by all the parties in interest and the decision of the Secretary of the Interior will soon be handed down. say nothing of the merits of the con- troversy excent that the order reversed condition which has existed for years and affected 20 or 40 teachers who. as nuns, had been long before my time Incorporated in the service of the gov- ernment and who would be in effect ex- ne lea from that service by the order should it prevail They were. therefore entitled to a full hearing
