Political Reformers Pleased By Few Pledges Made During Campaign

- Special to Palladium. Washington, Nov. 14. Political reformers find much encouragement in the assurances given President-elect Taft, by National Chairman Hitchcock that the next president will go into office unencumbered by any pledges made during the campaign other than those outlined in the national platform and enunciated by the candidate himself in his public speeches. With the possible exception of Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Taft will go into office freer than any of his predecessors. There have been presidents so heavily mortgaged, both in the matter of appointments and as to policy, that they had left scarcely an opportunity to exercise judgment of their own. It used to be the common thing in national conventions to trade cabinet, diplomatic and other important offices for votes and later on, when it came to raising campaign funds, promises were made that it would have been disastrous to have made public. Even Abraham Lincoln found, after the election, that his friends had pledged him to things of which he did not approve, but the ethics of politics at that time were such that Lincoln felt obligated to redeem the pledges. When McKinley became president in 1897 he found that his campaign managers had committed him to the appointment of hundreds of men of whom he had scarcely heard. Most of these pledges he redeemed, but in two or three cases he refused to do so and all the urging of Mark Hanna was in vain. Mr. Roosevelt, while serving as assistant secretary of the navy, became acquainted with some of the embarrassments Mr. McKinley had experienced by reason of campaign pledges and when he became himself a candidate for the presidency he instructed his managers to make no promises in his name. The result has shown in Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet. More than ever before it has been a board of personal advisors to the president rather than an advisory board of the party in power. Changes in Cabinet. Mr. Roosevelt's administration has been notable also for the number of changes in it. The list is somewhat of an amazing one. Secretaries of State John Hay, Ellhu Root. Secretaries of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage, Leslie M. Shaw, George B. Cortelyou. REUNION TO BE HELD AT TRINITY CHURCH i - Classes Confirmed Since 1892 To Meet.

G. Williams. The burial was at the local cemetery.

Secretaries of War Elihu Root, William H. Taft, Luke Wright. Secretaries of the Interior Ethan A. Hitchcock, James R. Garfield. Secretaries of the Navy John D. Long, William H. Moody, Paul Morton, Charles J. Bonaparte, Victor H. Metcalf. Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson. Postmasters General Charles Emory Smith, Henry C. Payne, Robert J. Wynne, George B. Cortelyou, George Von L. Meyer. Attorneys General Philander C. Knox, William H. Moody, Charles J. Bonaparte. Secretaries of Commerce and Labor George B. Cortelyou, Victor H. Metcalf, Oscar Straus. Should Mr. Root be elected senator from New York it is likely the pres!dent would have opportunity to ap point another secretary of state, al though there is no legal reason why he should not continue at the head ol the cabinet until time for him to take the oath as senator. Home For Embassadors. The administration is going to makf a determined effort this winter t have congress make a real beginnin toward the purchase or erection o embassies and legation houses in th'

principal capitals of the world. We now own legation properties in Turkey, Japan, Siam and China, they having been acquired because of the peculiar ex-territorial conditions existing in those countries, but elsewhere our diplomatic, representatives are in rented quarters. Congress makes an annual allowance for rent at each post, but only in a few instances is it adequate to meet the charges our ministers and ambassadors have to pay. Some of them spend several times their official salaries for rent alone, but when they go to that length it is because they are millionaires and want to make a splurge socially. This very fact that multimillionaires rent palaces in London, Paris, Berlin and elsewhere is one of the main arguments in favor of the government acquiring diplomatic residences. It makes it exceedingly unpleasant for the poor man who is appointed to succeed a rich man, as was demonstrated by the Tower-Hill incident at Berlin. Most of the principal powers own their embassies and legations in Washington, as do a number of the second and third rate countries. CHAFES UNDER Ernest Bell Desires Early Trial. Ernest Bell, who is in jail awaiting trial on the charge of larceny has retained counsel and is anxious to have his case set for trial. Bell's wife was arrested on the same charge and imprisoned in the jail at the home for friendless women. She escaped in company with Goldie Kelley Ryder. Unless a change is made in the court docket, Bell will not have an opportunity to present his case in court before the middle of next month. A Novel Claim. A claim once made on the explorer Cameron In the neighborhood of Gaboon. Africa, shows the peculiar workings of the .native African's mind. Some of Cameron's possessions proved unduly attractive to a native, and he determined on transferring the ownerI ship to himself. He accordingly paid ' another native $200 to procure for him the coveted goods. The assistant took ' the money and did his best to earn It, but Mr. Cameron had perversely locked up the very articles that the fellow's employer had set his heart upon. The man could not carry out his bargain, and neither fid he feel that he could part with the money. Therefore he ran off with it. What more logical than that the man who was the loser by $200 should expect the explorer to make the loss good? This he assuredly did expect He went to Mr. Cameron and told him the story, demanding in the first place the $200 which he (Cameron) by locking up his goods had compelled the complainant to lose and, secondly, the actual price of the goods themselves, which but for these arbitrary measures would now have been In his possession. It is not stated'that his expectations were realized. DEFIED 'THIRTEEN. Friends of a local piano tuner were making sport of him yesterday, because of the combinations of thirteens that surrounded him, while about his work. It was Friday, the thirteenth day of the month and he was in ward thirteen of the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane tuning the thirteenth piano that he had worked on during the week. Is there anything in environment?

SAVINGS BUNKS FOB SCHOOL CHILCREN

Garfield Committee Considers Installing Them. . .The council committees are working with a number of questions that will later be taken up in council. One of the topics . before the general exercise J committee is the establishment of a school savings bank:. It is claimed that this method of teaching business habits is very successful in the schools where these banks are established. The basket ball teams had their first work-out this week. There are four teams of girls with sixteen players to each team. The boys' squad is divided into eight teams. There are also . two teams of polo players. Notices have been sent to parents whose children are below the standard grade in the second month's work. Pupils who fail in two subjects cannot 'ake part in the school game. Several players have fallen under the ban this month. The loss of the playing privilege usually acts as a spur to more efficient work. Professor Hamilton of the high school visited the Latin classes in Jarfleld Thursday. At the Monday evening teachers' meeting the teachers gave their reports of visits to the schools of other cities. By this method more benefit and pleasure were derived from visiting day. They all reported an enjoyable and a profitable trip. SCARLET FEVER. A Scourge of Whit Races In All Agei and Countries. Now that smallpox, thanks to com puisory vaccination, has become a rarity In civilized communities, scarlet fever steps forward as the worst ol the eruptive diseases of childhood .It is a malady of enormous antiquity Thucydides, writing nearly 500 yean before the beginning of our era, called it a heritage from the remote past It has scourged the white races In at ages and all countries, and the physicians of all schools have leveled their heaviest artillery upon It. Yet It remains a puzzle unsolved and an enemy unconquered even today. We are in doubt as to its cause, and there 1 is no drug or antitoxin that will cure it. But despite all this the death rate from scarlet fever is steadily declining, and we may expect It to decline more and more as the years go by The reason for this, I take it, lies in the fact that the modern doctor is a great deal more sparing with pills and powders than his predecessor and a great deal more lavish with water, ail and antiseptics. In the old days 11 was customary to dose scarlet fevet patients with all sorts of violent reme dies In staggering quantities, and as a result many of them died. Today j medicines are but minor auxiliaries in ; the sickroom, and both doctor and nurse devote their main energies to preventing a spread of the Infection. Delineator. A Worthy Des;re. An ambitious young Chicagoan called upon a publisher of novels in that city, to whom he imparted confidentially the Information that he had decided to "write a book" and that he would be pleased to afford the publisher the chance to bring it 'out. "May I venture to inquire as to the nature of the book you propose to write ?" asked the publisher very politely. "Oh, c&me In an offhand way from the aspirant for fame, "I think of doing something on the line of 'Les Miserables, only livelier, you know! Lipplncott's. Spoiled His Appetite. "Every bit of food on this table,' said the serving lady to Lamsoa as he , 6at down to eat at the church supper, ' "was cooked by your wife. i "Oh, I don't mind," rejoined Lam- 1 son faintly.

USE FOR A TELESCOPE. Interesting Discovery One Woman Made by Use of the Glass. "I thought it was a pretty fair sort of telescope for one that wasn't very big," said Uncle Silas. "I rigged it up in the attic by the high north window and had it fixed so it would swing around easy. I took a deal of satisfaction in looking through it, the sky seemed so wide and full of wonders, so when Hester was here I thought I'd give her the pleasure too. She stayed a long time upstairs and seemed to be enjoying it. When she came down I asked her If she'd discovered anything new. "'Yes, she says. 'Why, it made everybody's house seem so near that I seemed to be right beside 'em, and I found out what John Prltchard's folks are doin' in their outkitchen. I've wondered what they had a light there for night after night, and I Just turned the glass on their windows. They are cuttin apples to dry folks as rich as them cuttin apples! "And actually that was all the woman had seen! With the whole heavens before her to study, she had spent her time prying into the affairs of her neighbors! And there are lots more like her with and without telescopes.' Christian Uplook. Fiddled Into Office. Lossing relates that in 184S he met at Oswego, N. Y., Major Cochran, then nearly eighty years old, a son-in-law of General Philip Schuyler, who told the story of his election to congress during the administration of the elder Adams. A vessel was to be launched on one of the lakes in interior New York, ,and people came from afar to see it. The young folks gathered there, determined to have a dance at night. There was a fiddle, but no fiddler. Young Cochran was an amateur performer, and his services were demanded. He gratified the joyous company, and at the supper table one of the gentletnen remarked, in commendation of his talents, that he was "fit for congress." The matter was talked up, and he was nominated and elected a representative in congress for the district then comprising the whole of New York west of Schenectady. He always claimed to ' have "fiddled himself into congress. Pamela: Be sure to use Gold Medal Flour. Isabella. PALLADIUM WANT ADS. PAY.
