OLD FEUD FORGOTTEN
TAFT and Teddy make Up After
Years of Differences.

Washington, AuriI 2.-The old feud
between Theodore Roosevelt and Will
liam Howard Taft has been really and
truly forgotten and forgiven. Repub-
lica-. leaders have declared in Wash
ington. The word came thru from
New York that during the recent i'll
ness Of tn, colonel former President
Taft visited hirc at the hospital and
the two former friends decided to
eliminate tho word former"
When the colonel prepared his
speech to be delivered up in Maine a
little later it is declared here, he sent
a copy of the manuscript to MI. Taft,
urging him to read it over and make
any suggestion he could think would
he helpful Whereupon he, in whose
interest the team roller was operated
in Chicago in 1912, to the colonefs
detriment, did that very thing and his
suggestions were adopted
1.-The 1916 much advertised recon-
ciliation between Roosevelt and
Taft said an old Republican poll
tician, who was very much on the
inside at the time, was a snare and
a delusion. 1t did not even fool the
newspapers for whose benefit it was
primarily intended. All of them car
ried more or less humorous accounts
of how each had suffered an ordeal
for the sake of their party, rather
than really burying the Ratchet. That
momentary breaking really famed
the flame of resentment. AS recently
as on the colonel's visit to Washing
en-, several months ago, there had
been 70 reconciliation, as 1 happen to
know from some private conversa-
tons with the colonel, that were re-
ported to me.
But now it is the real thing Mr.
Taft did a most gracious thing in call
T s on the colonel, for whom at one
time he had a really deep feeling. The
colonel responded nobly by submit
ting his speech to Mr.. Taft.
eff the colonel should be the can
didate of the Republican party in
1920, ard 1 trust he will, there will
be no camouflage about his support
by Mr. Taft and his friends"

Who "COpped the Velvet" OFF
Wheat Substitutes?

Washington, April 2.-The food ad-
ministration is expected to strike soon
at profiteers in corn meal and flour.
Limitation of huge profits of millers
and wholesalers in these wheat sub
stitutes is looking for in the wake of a
rigid investigation, now practically
completed.
The public, sincere in its effort to
conserve wheat, is now paying S "
cents pound for white corn meal. it
is stated-twice the 1917 average and
as against g cents a pound before the
war. This price prevails despite huge
corn supplies available for consump-
ton.
Receipts of corn at primary interior
points for one week last month were
2,S49, 900 bushels against 5,243,000
for the corresponding week last year.
Corn Meal 8 Cents a Pound.
Corn meal is selling at retail for
Sh cents a pound in New York and
for ~ cents in Chicago. The aver
age price turnout the United States is
about s q cents.
Unrestricted profits push prices out
of reach of the poor, Herbert Hoover
says, and it is to equalize the burden
on all classes that he is working to
limit profits on wheat substitutes.
in establishing the basis of curtaiI-
ment of profits the food administra-
ton will take into consideration the
great expense millers have gone to IN
installing new machinery for corn
grinding.

Campbell (Kan.) Scores War
Workers in Congress.
Declares Reckless Expenditures
May Bankrupt the Country.

Washington, April 2.-"Dollar-a-
year patriots working for the govern
ment came in for a verbal flashing
again in the house Monday.
Representative Campbell, Kansas
thought the reckless expenditures of
these men" might soon bankrups the
country. Particularly did Campbell
assail Otto Eidlitz, new director of
the housing labor order. who was
charged with having assembled a force
of employees costing 100000 a year
before congress had authorized the
creation of his department" Camp
bell suggested he was not working
for nothing"
Defenders of Eidlitz, however, at
once came to his support recalling that
he had been given important posts by
former Presidents Roosevelt and Taft
and Chief Justice White.
Representative Madden, Illinois, eX
tended the discussion by criticising the
war industries board for concentrate
ing war plants on the coasts, thereby
he charged, dislocating the labor sup
ply.
Thousands of skilled workmen in
the middle west are idle" he said.

FOR A BARNES SCHOOL
Campaign Favoring New
Washburn Academy Plan.

Steps are being taken, it was an
nounced today by F. A. Seaman. one
of the supporters of the plan, to or
ganize a Barnes high school under the
state law by that name at Washburn
college. The college after looking over
the plan has agreed to discontinue its
academy and lease the building and
equipment to the high school district
The proposed district would include
College Hill, Seabrook, Sunnyside
Avondale. Mission Center, Gage Park
Wanamaker and Washburn Pro-
motors of the idea say 100 students
could be enrolled for the first term
This week an educational campaign
is being carried on thruout the pro-
posed district. Monday night P. P.
Womer, president of Washburn col
lege, and C. E. st. John, assistant
state superintendent of education,
spoke before a large assembly of Sea-
brook residents and explained the
move to them. Tonight the same
speakers will appear at Wanamaker
1t is pointed out that by leasing the
Washburn academy building and
equipment, the district will come into
possession at small expense of one of
the most complete and finest equipped
schools in the state. The academy
includes libraries, laboratories and
other equipment
