SIGNS CABINET BILL

of Labor Escaped Veto Be-
cause He Feared He Would
be Misunderstood.
Washington, March 4.-Pres-
ident Taft today signed the bill
creating department of labor
with a cabinet portfolio. Presi-
dent Wilson's nomination for
this position will be William B.
Wilson, now retiring repre-
sentative in Congress from
Pennsylvania.
In signing this, the President
left with Congress memoran-
da expressing the conviction
that nine departments are
enough to conduct the govern
ment. He said:
II sign this bill with consid-
cradle hesitancy, not because |
dissent from the purpose of
Congress to create a depart
ment of labor, but because I
think nine department are
enough for the proper admins
tration of the government and
because | think that no new de-
partment ought to be created
without a reorganization of all
departments in the government
and a redistribution of the
bureaus between them. The
distribution of bureaus between
the existing departments is far
from being economical or logi-
cal and if there is one thing that
is needed in the present situa-
ton, 1T is reorganization of
our government on business
principles and with a view to
economy in the administration
of the regular government ma-l
chinery. I
81 forebear, however, to veto
this bill, because my motive in
doing so would be misunder-
stood. There is no provision in
the bill itself for recommends
tion by the head of the new de-
partment as to the reorganiza-
tion of bureaus that may it. If

He Was Loved.

How splendid thing it is to
be loved. Some men go through
life, accumulate money, much
money, and have the servile to
fawn and Smirk around them,
but they are not loved. There
are men who attain unto posi-
tion that gives them power.
They revel in the forced respect
and a transparently affected
admiration of the less favored.
But they are not loved. How
empty is life to them. They
reach the end of it all-and find
life failure, as does the child
who cuts into the rubber ball
to see what makes it bounce.
But when a man is really and
truly lOved-then has he taken

him. But he had rounded out a
long lifetime in those few years.

Williams was a man who had

way steadily to the top, not
over the shoulders of others

of those around him, for they
loved Henry Williams.
As a companion and as
friend he was admired, as a SUI
perior officer he was respected.
For while he maintained clearly

SENATE CAN SAVE COUNTRYS HONOR

idea is becoming more firmly
fixed that it is not vast terri
tory, great wealth nor large
learning which marks the real
status of America; that Ameri-
ca is to be measured by the
! golden metewand of honor; and,
as the idea in her formation
was the inherent right of men
to rule themselves, that now
she can i'll afford to announce
this doctrine in her own land
and renounce it for an instru-
ment of oppression in other
lands.
NO FIXED STANDARD.
Unfortunately there is no
fixed standard of honor outside
the dictionary. The gambler
may hold it to consist in paying
his gaming debts; the member
of the smart set, in divorcing
his neighbor's wife before TAX
ing her unto himself; the SEN
ator, in eliminating personali-
ties. But when we enter the
chancelleries of the world and
submit to their judgments not
only our right to be but our
right to be respected we can
hope to be measured in but one
way; and we must be able to
show that the solemn treaty
obligations of this republic will
be kept with the same scrupu-
lous honesty; both of spirit and
letter, whether made with the
humbleSt people of this CONT
nent struggling for self-gov-
ernment or with the mightiest
monarch of the old world. This
high sense of honor constitutes
the panoply of the American
people. Armies and battleships
furnish no substitute for it.
These are valuable but the peo-
pie never intended that author
ity should use them as acces-
sories to a burglars kit.
"1f any one in the name of
the American people, either in
violation of treaty obligations
or the manifest purpose of the
Monroe doctrine, has taken
aught while this body was de-
liberating, it is your duty to as
certain >all facts thereto. And
if wrong or injustice has been
done, even to the humblest re-
public, let this people be brave
enough and sufficiently honest
to make reparation. The real
greatness of this republic rests
upon its unsullied honor and it
is the duty of this body to
search down rumors of bad
faith and dishonesty and rectify
wrong wherever wrong is dis
covered.
Here in this most sacred
spot where war has been made
and peace declared, here in the
of the distinguished
representatives of the govern
ments of the civilized world
here, within the hearing of the
beauty, culture and ripened
Statescraft of his own land, may
one humble American express
the hope before he enters upon
4 four years silence that all our
may spell peace with
Ill peoples, justice for all gov
ernmentS and righteousness
he world around"

KIND WORDS.

What silence we keep year after
year
with those who are most near to us
and dear;
We live beside each other dav bv
day,
And speak OF myraid things, but
seldom say
The full, sweet word that lies with
in our reach
Beneath the common ground Of
common speech
Then out of sight and out of reach
they go,
And, sitting in the shadow they
have left,
Alone with loneliness and sore
beref.
We think with vain regret of some
kind word
That once we might have said, and
they have heard.

South Carolina Items Safe.

dent Taft signed the public
buildings bill, the item for
S265,000 for Columbia's new
postotiice remaining in the bill
as well as other South Carolina
items, and this means that with
this authorization of law rapid
progress should now be made
toward giving Columbia better

last moment that the bill would
be vetoed, but the friends of
the measure worked hard with
the result that it was signed at

well.

the time Of the dedication Of their
new Turner hall, then In course a
construction, and would make an ad-
dress on the occasion ct their biz
opening, which will be one Of the eel
eorated business and social functions
OF that part of the country. Mr.
IutaVern was one of the founders of
the society at that place, and the
committee in charge of the program
have put him down as one Of the
main speakers Of the occasion, and
he will be the guest Of honor Of the
officials while there. In keeping with
the promise made at that time, Mr.

Chicago, and on the 18th OF this
month will sail from New York for
Germany in company with Christian
l.
Werhahn, Of this city, who joined him
In Chicago the first of the week. and
together they will take passage on
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse.
The trip to the old country few
years ago was largely on account Of
the health of Mr.. zutavern and that
OF his father-in-law. the late ] v

years Fred has been a sufferer from
stomach trouble and at that time was
very successfully treated by special

trouble has been recurring and the

take further treatment for the dis
ease.

that you will tell your friends and

A BATTLE ROYAL.
Wind-up OF The Ball Season Shows
An interesting Race.

The struggle now on for the pen
nant in the Kansas State League is
the fiercest three cornered fight ever
known in this organization. OF the
four teams now playing, any one Of
three may win. Salina is too far to-
wards the bottom Of the percentage
column to help themselves, but can
help the chances Of Lyons or Great
Bend by beating Clay Center occa-
sionally. Since our last publication,
they have won two from Clay Cen
ter, this being their only wins in al
most three weeks.
After Wednesdays game Lyons and
Great Bend are tied for first place,
with Clay Center two and one half
games behind the pair.
Seven more games remain to be
played, Lyons VS.. Great Bend and
Salina VS.. Clay Center all the way.
The three head teams are bound to
finish within margin of two OF
three games, and it is extremely like
y that only half game will Separ-
ate the leaders from the team in the
second place.
Since starting on the last series
OF twelve games with Lyons, we have
up to Wednesday, won three straight
on our grounds and lost two to the
Lions on their premises, while Clay
Center has won three and lost two
to Salina. Sundays games put the
MillerS two full games ahead of the
Lyons bunch, which condition was
apparently too good to last and we
dropped back to a tie on Wednesday.
Lyons and Great Bend will rest on
Tcfluay, VIII play On Saturday at the
Bend and ON Sunday a double head
er will be played at this place, and
the games on these dates will prob
ably decide the issue so far as these
two teams are concerned. These last
Three games at home will be thrill
lers as both teams are after the pen
nant and are working under high
pressure. Clay Center is liable yet
to come from behind and cop the
OuntiH'', owing to the fierce con-
test between Lyons and the, home
team, while Clay is working out with
the tail enders.
