IT'S ALL OVER NOW
BUT THE SHOUTING
Explanations to Many Dis
appointed Candidates =
The ct Told You So"
Club Meets.

The 'I-Told-You-So' army held a
mass meeting this morning, the APP
pointments to the police department
the session. There were several ward
meetings early in the day, but the big
conclave assembled in City Hall to-
wards noon, when leaders" of all
sizes and convictions got together.
Forty-one right arms-the billet
wings of the new appointees-worke
overtime this morning accepting the
congratulations of friends. OF course,
every appointee had several politicians
who alone were responsible for his APP
pointmentl and this fact was duly i'm
pressed on the recruits.
One of the topics of conversation
among those interested today was the
dumping of Patrolman Joseph +.
CoughIin, who was slated to be pro-
NOTED to sergeant. Up to O'Clock
yesterday, the slate of sergeants was
as printed in The Farmer last night
there being four Democrats and four
Republicans among the prospective
appointees.
Something Slipped before the
commission met, and PatroIman
Cough1in was given the go-by, Patrol
man James Ramsey getting his place.
This gave the Republicans five out OF
the eight places. Mayor wilson, 1t is
understood, favored Coughin's promo
ton, though he wouldn't discuss the
question today.
Asked what had happened to Pa
trolman Cough1ins candidacy, the
MAYOR shook his head and said he
didn't know.

COPS BELIEVE BLACK
CAT BROUGHT LUCK

If kindness would kill a cat, the
nine lives of a mysterious black feline
that early this week entered into po-
lice headquarters would long s9ucS
have been snuffed out.
The strange animal made her ap-
pearance in the evening, last Tues
day, and while it is the general prac-
tice to show such visitors scant court
esq, Charles A. Wheeler, chauffeur
made the cat welcome.
In a short time the cat got the habit
of following Wheeler about the build
ing. Last night Wheeler was elected
a sergeant The cat wandered into
the meeting of the board while the
elections were going on.
Today every policeman in the build
ing is trying to curry favor with
WheeIer's cat, but the dark stranger

OLNEY DECLINES.

Richard Olney, OF Boston, to whom
President Wilson offered the post of
ambassador to Great Britain, has de-
c1ined. His letter of refusal was re-
ceived at the White House, today.
Mr.. OIneys letter was said to be Of
a confidential nature and therefore
was not made public. Secretary Tu-
nudity, however, announced that Mr..
Olney had declined for family rea-
sons.'' 1t is understood that Mrs. Oh
ney has been in poor health and that
Mr.. 'Olney was 1oath to change his
residence at his advanced age. His
many business connections through
his law practice also are said to have
influenced him to remain in this
country.
Speculation as to who might be
chosen ambassador to Great Britain
began irnm ediately on the announce
ment of Mr.. Olney's decIination. Be-
sides Mr.. Olney, President Wilson had
in mind Charles w. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard, but had offer
ed Mr.. Olney the place because of his
conscientious record.

Boston, March 15-Richard O1ney'e
dec1ination of the post of ambassador
to Great Britain caused little surprise
among his friend here. 1t is known
that he counselled the Presidents Of
fer deliberately and counselled with
associates, but the delay in his re-
ply is believed to have been due in
part to a desire to thus show his ap-
probation of the Presidents conf
dence in him.

was first made known at Washington
and upon reading the announcement

States is ruled over by two Presi-

made up before William Howard Taft
laid down the reins of governm ent
gives him as President and his resi-
dence as the white House. Able
to catch the last forms just as the
volume was going to press, the en-
terprising publisher of the directory

TROUBLE OVER F1xINGs.

Changes are being made in the fur

White House due to the enlargement
of the cabinet and the fact that the
desk and chair in President Wilson's
private office do not quite meet his
requirements. A new table is be-
ing built for the cabinet room.

ARE GETTIG READY

The political bee has began to buzz

Two weeks from Friday ocucrs the

Already campus leaders are getting
generous with the soda fiz and have

the fair sex to the picture shows and
the Spa.
The candidates mentioned so far have
been only for the presidency of the
student body. The names of Herman

Ralph Stearns being mentioned in this
connection. 1t is generally conceded
that Paul Todd, who was so successful

will be honored with the position of
debate manager again next season.

who are trifle shy on that divine at.
tribute.
This detection is possible and-prob.
able. And the trouble will come over
sugar and wool. That is where, in all
previous attempts to remove or modify
the tariff, the trouble has arisen, not
especially with these two articles, but
because while the Democrats insisted
the tariff should be reduced, each sena.
tor or congressman always wanted it
taken off the things their people did
not produce or manufacture, and want.
ed their own constituents plate on the
pie counter, kept full. The gentleman
from Louisiana could readily see that
the tariff on wool grown in the middle
west was unnecessary and the gentle.
man from the middle west could not for
the life of him see why there was nee.
essity for protection on sugar. The
Pennsylvania and West Virginian SEN
ators realized that protection on steel
was absolutely necessary to keep Carne.

thing, out of the poorhouse The result
was the sugar fellows got in with their
spoon, the honorable senators represent
ing the sheep and not the people, pulled
the wool over the public 5 eyes, and the
steel gang run the big steam roller over
all opposition. 1t was a trade in the
interests of the interests, cunning bit
of work for the benefit of special privi.
lcge, and also the misrepresentation of
the people, who generously permitted
their constituents to be taxed for the
sole purpose Of keeping themselves in
office 1t will be noted the same game
is now being attempted. The honorable
senators from the cane growing dis.
tricts are making goo.goo eyes at the
senators from Montana, Wyoming and
other wool producing states, even CIV
ing a surreptitious wink or two at our
George, who in turn seems not averse
to bit of filtration. Indeed it is
claimed that as he casts one eye on the
sheep owners Of eastern Oregon, and in
cidentally notes their voting power and
also casts the other eye on 1914 when
his successor is to be elected, his heart
grows heavy for the sheepmen, and still
heavier for himself. For this reason he
seems inclined to think there should be
some tariff left on wool. However,
few days will settle the matter. Time
was when the tariff was a political
bone over which Democrats and Repub-
licans fought, but in the last year or
two both sides have come to the con.
clusion that it was time to shave some
of the infant industries, take their spec
tacles and canes away from them, and
let them learn to hobble along by them.

NOW HEAVEN FoREFEND US.

CONGRESS met yesterday, its eth

president and, contrary to the usual Gus.
tom, read to them by the author, too, it
settled down to business. That is fig.
uratively speaking it settled down to
business, but how thoroughly or firmly
settled remains to be seen. If the tar.
iff matter is quickly disposed of the
settled down statement stands, but if it
is kept on tap with the collective con.
gressional oratorical spigot wide open,
settled down is hardly the proper term.
In the lower house the matter will go
through according to program, but in
the senate there may be some doubt
about it. The Democratic platform
pledged the party to a material reduc.
tion of the tariff and the Democrats
have a majority, in the senate, but it is
barely majority, and the least defec.
tion leaves the party helpless and at the
mercy Of their Republican colleagues,
