THE DEAL COMPLETED.

Indianapolis News (Rep.). It will perhaps oe remembered that Mr. Daniel J. Keefe, president of the International Association of Longshoremen, was conspicuous in the late campaign as an antagonist of Mr. Gompers. Keefe and several other labor leaders participated in a conference at the White House, the purpose of which was to make a break in the labor vote in time interest of Mr. Taft.. It was charged at the time that the President had promised to appoint Keefe Com-missioner-General of Immigration to succeed the late Frank P. Sargent. The story was indignantly denied by Keefe, and on behalf of the President. It is true that one man present at the interview refused either to affirm or to deny the story. From his reticence many Inferred that, in spite of the denials, the appointment had been promised. Yesterday Keefe was appointed to the place.

The meeting between the President and Keefe took place October 3. Shortly afterward the Democrats charged that a deal had been made by which in return for the appointment Keefe was to support Taft. On October 14 Keefe said: The president did not offer me the position of Commissioner-Gener-al of Immigration directly or indirectly then or at other ’time. The dispatches of the same day carried the following statement from the patient and long-suffering Loeb: While no formal -statement was issued from the White House, Secretary Loeb denied that President Roosevelt promised the office of Commissioner-General of Immigration to Daniel J. Keefe, president of the International Association of Longshoremen, in consideration of Mr. Keefe’s action in declaring for Mr. Taft. Mr. Loeb added that what Mr. Keefe said in denial of the story was absolutely correct.

Now, of course, it is true that Keefe may have been appointed to precisely the place to which it was said he would be appointed, without any antecedent promise of the President. For purposes of denial an "understanding” is much more convenient than a promise. It seems certain that Keefe knew some time before he was appointed that he would be appointed. At some definite time the President must have made up his mind. We have no doubt that each man thoroughly understood the other prior to the election. Remembering the strenuous efforts that were made by Mr. Roosevelt to break down Mr. Bryan’s labor following we are inclined to think that those who charged that the deal was made on October 3 were right.

•It occurs to us that the Senate has an important duty in this matter. Before it confirms the appointment of Keefe it should investigate this story of the supposed deal. We ought to know if the President of the United States really did promise a high place in the Federal service in return for political support for bls candidate. The thing has an

unpleasant look. Keefe, as we have seen, denied the story, and by his denial he admitted that the arrangement would have been wrong, and discreditable to both men. Be-> fore Keefe is confirmed it should be made perfectly clear that his appointment is not the result of a deal. The Senate should insist that Mr. Keefe show a clean and honorable title to the very important position to which he has just been appointed.

The Japanese Cook.

The Japanese uiu a most Imitative and observant people and copy everything they see with minute fidelity. A Newport man engaged a Japanese valet, who was very attentive and satisfactory. His duties rarely took him Into the kltclieu, but when he hud a chance of watching the cook he did so with extraordinary interest. The cook caught a severe chili aud left somewhat suddenly.

At last the valet anftounced diilidentiy that be thought he could cook a little, and the mistress gladly agreed to give him a trial. The first thing tie started on was the potatoes. He took off bis shoes and socks and put his feet in a bath of hot mustard and water. The lady wanted toknow what on earth he was doing. Be replied that he saw the cook do that when she was peeling the potatoes. and nothing would persuade hint that this was not a necessary part of the process New York Times.

Marines To Be Infantrymen.

Washington, Dec. 4. —The marina corps. H is authoritatively stated, win ■be trrnsr'erred to the infantry. The Readiness of Tommy. “Tommy is such a good boy,” said Mrs. Taddells to the minister as she served the pastry. “You know, Dr. Choker, that pls isn’t good for little boys.” “That Is very true, Mrs. Taddells,” the minister assented. “When I was a boy I was not allowed to eat pastry, and all mothers must watch their children’s diet very carefully.” “But 1 am not nt all harsh with Tommy, you will understand, doctor,” Mrs. Taddells went on. “Whenever I have something for dessert which Tommy eannot eat—pie. for example—l give him 6 cents to pay for his deprivation. And Tommy takes It so cheerfully, doctor. Tommy is such a dear boy. Dr. Choker.? ■ > “I am very glad to bear it, Mrs. Taddells. No, tbnnk you, 1 could not think of eating more than one piece of pie, excellent as it is. But lam truly glad to hear of Tommy's manliness and cheerfulness when deprived of pie. I suppose. Tommy,” the clergyman went on, “you like pie?” “Yessir.” x “What makes you take the 6 cents so cheerfully to go without?" “Oh. with the nickel 1 can get a whole pie at the grocery around the corner.”

Not Introspective.

The minister of a large parish in a certain western diocese bad for some time been mur-b troubled by the scandalous gossip that seemed to be occupying the minds of a portlop of his flock and after exercising a great amount of tact and perseverance at last succeeded in running to earth the originator of most of the settlement’s society slander The guilty one was a regular attendant at the schoolhouse services, and the minister knew that should he take him to task personally and individually be would inevitably lose a sheep, albeit a black one. So be decided to sermonize him. Aceordlngly a special discourse wss prepared and the following Sunday afternoon literally hurled at the offending member as he sat on a desk in a corner of the schoolroom. Everybody present appeared to fully appreciate the 'Situation and at the close of the service departed quietly and somewhat thoughtfully for borne—all except the black sheep, who lingered to assist "parson” to hitch up his team and to remark: "That were a fine sermon, sir. TH bet that bit some on ’em pretty hard!”—Bellman. ‘ " Honor: Order Gold Medal Flour next time. Felicity.
