TAFT BETWEEN DEVIL
AND DEEP BLUE SEA
POSTMASTER GENERAL PUTS
HIM IN AWKWARD POSITION
President Bitterly Opposed to Hitch
cocks Proposed Telegraph Policy,
Tries UnsucceSsfully to Suppress
Expressions Made Publicly

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 23.-Post-
master General Frank H. Hitchcock
is in favor of government ownership
of telegraph lines. President Taft
and the administration are not in IA
vor of government ownership of tele-
graph lines
Postmaster General Hitchcock pre-
pared a statement for the newspa-
pers of the country expressing his
ideas on the subject and showing why
the government should own the tele-
graph lines of the country.
While the postmaster general was
absent from Washington. the white
house attempted to suppress the
statement issued by the postmaster
general, but was unsuccessful.
Upon his return to Washington the
postmaster general was called to
the white house to explain his radl-
cal views on government ownership
to the conservative and reactionary
president.
When political Washington learn
ed of the radical views of a mem
Der Of President Taft's cabinet, and
also learned of the desperate efforts
made by the administration to sup
]. press public expression Of these views
the prediction was freely made that
rlg wogld fly at the meeting between
the president and his postmaster
general Under ordinary circum-
stances such thing might have
happened. but President Taft is not
confronted with ordinary circum-
nraradinr tho
republican national convention at
Chicago. He is confronted by extra
ordinary circumstances of a most re-
markable character. He is a candi-
date for the presidency, admittedly
in opposition to the general senti-
ment in his party Notwithstanding
this opposition the president goes
merrily on his way, and his press
agents boldly claim that the nOmina-
ton cannot be taken away from him
The president they frankly assert, is
not dependent on the delegates from
the north Healooks to the handful
OF republican office-holders in the
democratic south to deliver another
nomination. It Is this peculiar polit-
ical situation which explains why
Postmaster General Hitchcock is able
to disagree 90 violently with his chief
on a matter Of the utmost public inn
portance. It Is Postmaster General
Hitchcock and not President Taft who
controls the republican delegates In
the south. It was Frank B. Hitch
cock who delivered the south to Mr.
Taft in 1908. Mr., Hitchcock has
continued to dominate the office hold
ers in the south from that day II

FORTY DISEASES To STUDY.
Plant Pathology Department in New
Quarters at o. A. c. Is Kept Bus,
Now

Now.
Oregon Agricultural College. Cor
wallis, Ore.-Some forty plant dis
eases are being grown in cultures in
the plant pathology department at
the Oregon agricultural college, which
has just been installed in its new
quarters on the second floor of the
horticultural building.
Although there are at present sew
eral hundred cultures being prepar-
ed for a close study of their char
acteristics, that adequate means OF
protection may be found, some forty
of them have not yet been wholly
identified The two culture rooms
devoted to this work are most con-
venient. One is tiled and contains
the cases in which the cultures are
grown. and the other is fitted with
electric stoves and gas heated appa-
ratus for different determinations.
Farmers or fruit growers through
out the state are at liberty, when
they find a disease attacking some
fuit or vegetable, to send a sample
to the plant pathology department,
that it may be studied. and the pre-
vention and cure determined. When
such a sample comes in, If 1t is not
easily recognized by the college spe-
cialists. a minute portion of the dis
eased part is placed upon a germ
bed made of extract of beef mixed
with gelatin on which the diseases
may be grown. AS soon as 1t Is pos
sible to detect growth, specimens are
put under the microscope and the
germ causing the difficulty Is seggre-
gated and studied.
The department has six rooms for
the work. including four laboratories

will be present. Rev. Mr.. Wells has been
the pastor of the church here since
April, 1910, and it was with sincere re-
greet that members of his church learn
ed that he was to leave the parish. The
church to which he is going is in a rap
idly growing section of New Rochelle,
which is 16 miles from New York city,
and while the membership is not eX
traordinarily large at present it is bound
to increase rapidly and its outlook Is
very promising. Rev. and Mrs. Wells
probably will go to New Rochelle Tues
day or Wednesday, and he will begin his
services in the church there the follow
ing Sunday
The call to his new field came to Rev.
Mr.. Wells a short time previous to the
annual conference last month, at which
Bishop f. H. Hughes of California pre-
sided. He notified the bishop of the call
and last week he received the necessary
papers transferring him to the New
York conference, which Is one of the
largest in the country. He preached in
the New Rochelle church Sunday, May
II, and at that time the members assur-
ed him that they were eager for him to
begin his duties with them. District
Superintendent G. R. Goodenough of
the New York conference has said that
the church to which Rev. Mr.. Wells is
trict if not in the state, and that it's OPP
portunities to grow are unlimited.
To a representative of The Phoenix
Wednesday Rev. Mr.. Wells expressed
his sorrow at leaving his present pas
torate, but said that the opportunity
was too great to refuse as the work in
the new field was large and the pros
poets encouraging. He said the relations
between him and the members of the
local church had been of the pleasant

WESTMINSTER WEST.
Death Of Mrs. Hugh ooodelI.

Mrs. Fannie Washburn Goodell, wife
of Hugh Goodell, died in her home Sun
day evening after a long illness. The
case seems a peculiarly sad one. Mr..
and Mrs. Goodel were married less than
three years ago. Last February Mrs.
Goodell was taken i'll with what was
thought to be jaundice, but the trouble
developed into septic poisoning, and this
In turn caused infected endocardtis
from which she died.
Her long Illness was borne with great
patience and courage. She had the
thought of others in mind in the midst
of her own suffering Necessarily she
had been kept much at home during
her short residence here, but her home
life was ideal. She was devoted to her
husband and little daughter a year old
and was surrounded by all that makes
life pleasant, and it would seem she
had much to live for Great sympathy Is
expressed for the family in their great
sorrow.
Mrs. Goodell possessed a fine contral-
to voice which had been thoroughly
trained, and she was ever ready to re-
spond to any calls upon her to use 1t
in public. She had been very tenderly
cared for during her long Illness by her
husband and by Miss Stella Goodell, a
trained nurse. who have been with her
constantly, and all that medical skill
could do was done for her relief.
