CANT SAVE HIM
President Taft Sinks Deeper and Deepe
in the Ballinger Mire.
REPUBLICANS AGHAST
They Fear Revelations That Have
?ome Out In the Case Will lluin
Not Only the Taft Administration,
Rut the Whole Republican Party
Along With It.
Th? Washington correspondent of
Grit thinks that if the Ballinger
rumpus, the bane of the present Administration,
is not placed in the
discard soon, it is going to wreck
the entire Republican party. This
Is practically the concensus of opinion
of the foremost Republicans in
the National capitol, a conviction
reached after what has been probably
the worBt week the Taft administration
has experienced in the government
of the nation. The attempt
of the President and his advisors and
counselors to clear up the waters
muddled by the sensational Kerbv
statement last Saturday week has
been pitiful.
Instead of clearing it up. the explanations
and statements have stirred
up the whole unsavory mess even
more, and the blacker the affair
jrows, the greater the blot on the
Administration is going to be. Some
one has err-ni somewhere in the past.
This much is admitted. Hut some
one is erring ever greater now in
the course that is being pursued. No
names are mentioned by the disgusted
Republicans, for it is not proper
to openly criticise one very high in
the party ranks.
Secretary of the Interior Richard
A. Rallinger stands discredited before
the entire country. No amount

of the people as to Ballinger's guilt.
His actions 6ince Plnchot flrBt attacked
his policies, and the things
irought out against him at the Congressional
investigation, still in progress,
brands the cabinet officer as
a man who is looking after the interests
of "the Interests" first, and
then scraping up the crums for the
people.
And yet President Taft persists in
his efforts to whitewash this member
of his official family. The wise
ones see that the Chief Executive
by his actions is not only leading
his own administration to certain
destruction, but he is seriously
threatening the very life of the party
that gave to him the highest office
in the land. Still he persists, in
the name of departmental discipline.
In bolstering up the cause of ilallingerlsm.
iWhen Frederick M. Kerby, the
young stenographer working in the
Department of the Interior, made
public his sensational story of how
Lawler, and not Pr?sident Taft,
wrote the Ilallinger whitewash letter
which the President gave to the
country, it placed the Chief Execu
tlve in a very bad light. Since that
time the President explanations and
actions have been even worse. With
Taft's consent, Ralllnger immediately
dismissed Kerby from the service.
And the secretary of the Interior
discharged young Kerby, with a
stigning reprimand, because he revealed
the manner in which Ralllnger
obtained his exoneration from
the President, and the deception
practiced upon the public in that
exoneration. According to Kerby's
statement, Secretary Ballinger grossly
deceived the country, and President
Taft was a party to that deception.
And he was not an inuojiai
party, either.
Kerby undoubtedly expected ne
dismissed. A man of Rallinger's
type would necessarily regard the
affront to himself as far outweighing
the service Kerby had render-'d
iuu puunc. 1 ue senerai ueuei is.
however, that Rnllinger and the V?ministration
will suffer more than
Kerby.
Kerby merely goes to join t ingrowing
list of remarkable men
who have proved themselves courageous
enough to protest against
wrong and place the public interests
above their own. The list now includes
Glavis, Pinchot and Price and
Shaw, the former assistants of Pinchot,
Hoyt, former assistant general
of Porto Rico, and Kerby. They
have all been driven out *of the
public service, and are classed ts
traitors by the Administration, but
the only offense committed by a^y
one of them was that of telling tha
truth, and of striving to prevent
what they believed to be the perpetration
of a great wrong.
Others are to be added to the
list, unless all signs fail. They will
be H. Tiller Jones, the special agent
of the Land office, who joined with
Glavis, in the fight to save the Alaska
coal lands, Director Newell, of
the Reclamation service, and Chief
Engineer Davis, of the same service.
Many Republicans in Congress in
private discussion of the latest phase
of the Balllnger case not only coincide
with the dismissed Bteno?rpj?h.
er in his estimate of the Secretary
pt the Interior, but extend t.he judgment
to the President himself. They
are dumfounded, dkjusted end dishearted
at the manner in whtcn
Taft has driven his administration
deeper and deeper into the mire, with
each move he has made in Bellinger's
behalf. They admit that never before
in our history, with the possible
exception of Andrew Johnson,
has any President brought such discredit
on himself and his adminis
irauon as iuu nas uune in cms nailinger
affair. The Republicans realize
that the effect of the revelations
of the last few days regarding the
President's set determination to
whitewash Ballinger, even at the expense
of his own honor and conscience,
must prove disastrous to the
party in this fall's elections.
It is known that the President has
not be? n animated in his course by
personal regard for his Secretary of
the Interior with whom his acquaintance
before Rallinger entered the
cabinet was slight. The country is
therefore bound to seek elsewhere
than in personal considerations the
secret of Ballinger's hold on the
Chief Executive.
The question will inevitable be
asked how it came that Rallinger
was made Secretary of the Interior,
and how is it that Taft goes even
to the length of misrepresentation,
to put is mildly, to save Ballinger
from the consequences.of his queer
maneuvering in relation to the Cunningham
claims.
The answer to those questions will
be found by persons not entirely
blinded by partisanship and the glamor
of high oliice, in the testimony ot
Glavis, before the investigating committee.
In that testimony Glavis
told how the lobbyist and promoter,
Alexander Mackenzie, warned the
land agent that he was pursuing a
dangerous course in persisting in
his attack of the Cunningham claimants
Tli -scs claimants, Mackenzie declare
. according to Glavis, had been
strji: , inough to prevent the nappoir.;...cut
of James It. Garfield as
Ber? : try of tne Interior, although
Roosevelt had requested his retention.
And if they were powerful
enough to prevent the reappointment
of Garfield, they might naturally be
expected to develop sullicient influence
to secure the appointment of a
man of their own choice as Garfield's
successor.
Behind the Cunningham claimants,
the investigation has clearly shown,
were, the great Guggenheim and
.Morgan interests, wnicn are seeking
to get a strangle hold on the vast
wealth of the territory of Alaska.
The control of the Interior department
is essential to the success of
this great conspiracy and suspicious
people will not be slow to reach
the conclusion that the appointment
of Ballinger aB Secretary of the Interior
was not. unconnected with the
plot.
Had the President kept his own
skirts clean, and held the balance
even between Ballinger and his enemies,
he would have escaped suspicion.
But in many ways it is indicated
that he .has been working hand
in glove with Ballinger and his
friends to bring about the vindication
of the Secretary of the Interior, almost
regardless of the character of
the means employed, and he t.?nnot
complain if the disinterested public
maintains an attitude of suspicion.
The one encouraging factor in tne
situation is the apparent certainty
the attempts to save Balling r wlM
have exactly the opposite eit-c to
that intended.
It is the belief in Washing* n thv
the revelations of the past few da)*,
taken in connection wl*h the -uinitiative

duced to Ballinger*1} dure'it hotjro
the Investigating committee, wi'.l

In presenting the report of the
committee on work in Cuba and Panama
to the Southern Baptist Convention
Dr. E. C. Dargan, of Macon, Ga.,
said he was as much a believer in
unify and fraternity as any man, but
he did not believe there was any
church on earth as good as a Baptist
church. He had an idea Unit a Baptist
church, which had in front of
it the first letter with which Bible
was spelled was the b< st institution
on earth and it was the only one that
was right. If that was narrow, he
had been living a narrow life for a
long time among a lot of narrow men
and he exepeted to die a narrow
death, to be placed In a narrow coflin
to sleep iu a narrow grave and to
wake ?tp a narrow soul on the morning
of the resurrection to spend a

SEVEN NEW BISHOPS
ELECTED BY THK METHODIST
CENTRAL OONFTUENCE.
Two of the Seven Are Natives of
Soutii Carolina ami Graduates of
Wofford College.
The General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. South,
elected on Monday and Tuesday seven
new Bishops. On .Monday the
balloting commenced. On the fir-u
ballot Rev. Collins Denny and Rev
John C. Kilgo were elected. Out of
303 votes 1> nny received 229 and
Kilgo 178. The former received 7 1
votes more than necessary to elect,
while the latter received 26 voles
more than necessary to elect.
On the second ballot Rev. \V. B.
Murrah was elected by a vote of IC5,
or 14 more votes than necessity t>
elect. Then followed on Tuesday
ot.her ballots, during which W. R.
Lambuth, E. D. Mouzon, R. G. Waterhouse
and J. H. McCoy were elected.
This completed the election of
the seven Bishops ns provide" foi
by resolution of the conference. The
following is the order in which tiio
Bishops were elected.
Collins Denny, Maryland.
John C. Kilgo. South Carolina.
W. 11. Murrah, 'Mississippi.
\V. It. Lambuth, Tennessee.
E. D. Mouzon. South Carolina.
R. G. Waterhouse, Virginia.
J. II. McCoy. Alabama.
Both Revs. J(vhn C. Kilgo and E.
D. Mouzon are natives of South Carolina
and graduates of NVofTord College.
When elected Kilgo was a
member of the North Carolina Conference
and Mouzon was a member
of the Texas Conference. He was
born in Spartanburg, where his father.
a most excellent man, carried
on the business of a photographer,
lie is said to be a very able man,
and well equipped for the high position
to which he has been called. He
is 45 yea i s of age.
Of the seven Bishops elected all
are in the prime of life, and the delegates
are congratulating themselves
that the majority of the Bishops chosen
are still young men, who give
promise of long userullness to tho
Church. Of the four Bishops elected
Monduy three were engaged in school
work, the fourth, Dr. W. R. Lambouth,
being the only one not so

none of the Bishops elected were eng?ged
in the regular work of the
pastorate.
South Carolina and Wofford College
are well represented among the
new Bishops, which shows that the
old State and t?he old college are a
great farce in Methodism. In the
last ten years three South Carolinians
have been elected Bishops by
the General Conference, but in every
instance they were members of some
other conferences when elected. Why
is it that so many of South Carolina's
strong men leave their own State
and go to others? Why don't they
remain members of the South Carolina
Conference instead of joining
others?

Champ Clark Raises Tariff Rallying Cry
For Democrats.
THE MINORITY LEADER
Challenges the 1'resilient to Direct

Support lor Reduction.?Taft
Is Criticised tor Loading liis Sup|n?rt
and Charged With Making
Contradictory Statements.
Denouncing the Paviv -Aldrich tarifT
law as a "transparent humbug."
attacking the tariff views of its author,
Representative Soreno Payne,
(Republican) of New York, and vig
orously assailing President Taft for
his support of that law. Representative
Champ Clark, of Missouri, leader
of the Democratic minority, Saturday
delivered in the house what is
regarded as the Democratic keynote
speech of the coming congressional
campaign. Mr. Clark had prepared
his address with great care and
spoke at length, giving facts anu
figures in support of his contention
that the tariff had not been honestly
revised and that the Republican
majority in congress had endeavored
to trick the people. Mr. Clark also
paid his respects incidentally to the
$250,000 item in the sundry civii
appropriation bill for the creation of
a tariff board.
Mr. Clark told, in bitingly humorous
style, of the tariff tilts in
which Mr. Payne attacked Senator
Dolliver and .Mr. Fordney, of Michigan,
"a Republican of high degree,"
attacked Senator Beveridge, "tlr
Republican boss of Illinois."
Mr. Clark continued:
"In making a speech in defense
of his tariff bill Chairman Payne
appeared to be performing a disagreeable
stunt. . . .
j"Mr. Chairman Payne was evidently
in a very fretful state. He
also seems to be atllicted with a new
disease, 'intermittent forgetfuln' ss.'
He remembered with great vividness
the soup houses of 1893 and 1894,
but when it came to the soup hous s
of 1907, a very recent occurrence
1 and the soup houses of 1873, his
memory failed him utterly. It does
not need a pBchologist or phrenologist
to account for this state of mind
on his part, the reason being that
the soup houses of 1873 and 1907
were under Republican administration
and under tariff laws passed by
the Republican party, while the Boup
hous e of 1893, through the outgrowth
of a panic caused by a Republican
tariff bill, sprang up when
a Democratic president was in office."
The minority leader then ridiculed
certain of Mr. Payne's arguments,
declaring that the Republican leader
was "playing both ends against
the middle."
Mr. Clark then attacked the sugar
schedules of the Paync-Aldrich tariff
law and ridiculed Republican
claims of benefiting the people by
low ring the tariff on refined sugar.
The reduction, he said, was so small,
"that every man with common sense
knows that the consumer will never
be benefited by it in any way whatsoever."
"In one breath the gentleman from
New York glorifies -his bill because
it shuts out importations. In the
next he glorifies it because it has
increased importations. The gentleman
from New York must take one
horn or the other."
The speaker declared that while
American citizens would prefer to
use Am rican-made goods and articles
rather than foreign productions,
they were unwilling to pay exorbitant
prices to American manufacturers.
Taking up the woolen schedule of
the tariff law, Mr. Clark ridiculed
th>.i idea that the present tariff law
was responsible for the increased importations
as wool, in that, .he said,
t.he tariff on No. 1 and No. 2 wool
was the same In the Payne law as 111
the Dingley law.
Mr. Clark next took the matter of
tho tariff on stockings and said that
the raise In tariff rates on that article
was not for the purpose of aiding
unemployed women, as Mr. Payne
had put it, but for the purpose
of giving t.he American manufacturer
a monopoly on the stocking trade.
Mr. Clark then quoted figure
tending to show that the Payne-Aldrick
duty on stockings of the cheaper
grade amounted to 83.75 per cent,
ad vaKoren.
Mr. Clark declared that the Pavn
fill 1 tori in 5i ehnfliUor flooa cvf ?* /*/-?! o
clothing, but had Increased it and resulted
In a shoddier class of goods.
The speaker then turned his attention
to President Taft.
"I will now drop the gentleman
from New York," exclaimed Mr.
Clark, "and get after bigger game,
to wit, the President of the United
Stat s. lie is not only the chief
traveler, but is the chief spokesman
of his party. He deserves to be
treated with candor and respect, ber
1 have a perfect right to disciiss h.s
utterances as I would tho.>e of any
other public man. I wish call
attention to all concerned to the 1
fact that the president said on th>
5th of August, 1909, that "the bill
Is not a perfect bill or a complete
compliance with the promises made
strictly interpreted.' I submit that
that declaration of the president is a
flat contradiction of the assertion of
the gentleman from New YorK that
his bill is a perfect compliance with
the promises made prior to Mi-? elec
tion of 1908. In September, 1909.
the president went on an extensive
speech-making tour, beginning with
a speech in Hoston, in which he eulogised
Senator Aldrlch to the skies.
That was the first serious wound
which the president inflicted upon
his own popularity, for right or
wrong, and 1 think right, tlie An* *r
*uu iivu^iu uuiu o uaiui :\iunni
largely responsible for the enormi v
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. On
the 17th of September. 1909. the
president said in Winona, Minn.: On
the whole, however, 1 am bound to
say that I think the Payne tariff bill
is t.he best tariff bill that the Republican
party ever passed.'
"When t.he American people read
that declaration the next m irning
and remembered the utterance which
I have quoted from the prea'dent's
statement of August 5. they wondered
what e.hangfi had come over the
spirit of his dream. They could not
reconcile the two statement. They
knew that the tariff bill had not
changed since \ugust 5th, 1909, and
they marveled as to how a bill, which
the president declared on that day
to be neither a perfect bill not a
complete compliance with the promises
made, could on the 17th day
of September be the best tariff bill
that the Republican party ever passed.
All t.he perfumes of 'Araby the
IJlest' can not sweeten the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill to please the dainty ,
nostrils of the people. They believe |
it to lie the worst tariff bill t ver
passed by the American congress.
That speech was the serious wound.
No. 2. whic.h the president indicted
on his own popularity."
Mr. Clark then devoted himself
to the steel schedule of the tariff
law and President Taft's indorsement
of it. He declared that what the
people wanted in a revision of the
tariff was a reduction of prices to a
just basis, w.hich is "precisely what
they did not get."
Turning to the woolen schedule,
which he said the president admitted
wa.s too high, and facing the Republican
side of the house, Mr.
Clark exclaimed:
"I have a fair proposition to make
to the President and to my Republican
friends which will promote harmony
and which, will bring untold
blessings to the consumers in the
land. Let the president send a message
to congress, short and vigorous,
wnicn snows tnai ne means business.
proposing substantial reductions
in the woolen goods schedule;
let Mr. Chairman Payne report that
bill frcm his committee and put it
on its passage, and without having
consulted a single Democrat in the
house, I will give bond for the proposition
that every Democrat will line
up and vote for it. If he would recommend
it, it will go through the
house and senate with a whoop and
the people would rise up and call
him blessed. It is contended that the
reasons that no change in the tariff
in any manner whatever, however
meritorious, can be offered is til"
fear that, if the tariff question be
opened up at all. we wicked Democrats
will let slip the dogs of war
and open up the whole tariff question?
to the a i s<ii ran gem at of all
business iu the land.
"1 am so much interested in seeing
the American people have eh aper
woolen clothes that without having
consulted a single Democrat, I
am certain that every one of them
agr es that, if the president will
send in a message recommending the
billl which I have indicated and Mr.
Chairman Payne will report it and
put it on its passage, we will not
offer an amendment of any sort to
it. The whol-e transaction could he
consummated in less than a week
ana a snout or rejoicing would as- j
rend from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from the CIreat Lakes to
the so thins: waters of the sunlit
Gulf. It matters not that the president
would receive the lion's p-hare
of the glory."
In closing, Mr. Clark commented
upon Democratic unity and Republican
discord, and prophesied a victory
for his party in November. He said
that he never looked forward to any
day with such Joy ns he did "to the
first Tuesday after t.he first Monday
of November, except to my wedding
day and the days on which my children
were l>orn."
Mr. Clark inveighed against executive
intereference in 1* gislation. In
discussing the wood pulp and print
paper investigation last year, in
which Mr. Mann (111.), one of the
speaker's chief lieutenants, dissent* d
from the conference report, Mr.
Clark declared he had often wondered
why, while the Republicans
were reading insurgents out of the
party, they had not taken a w.hack at
M r. M a 11 n.
"You say you would go far to
hear a Republican debate between
Senator Dolliv- r and Representative
Payne," said Mr. Scott, of Kansas.
"How far would you go to hear a
Democratic debate between Senator
Bailey and Wil'iam J. Bryan?"
"I would not travel ten steps," answered
Mr. Clark. "1 know as much
about the tariff as both of these i
statesmen put together."
GOES FOR LIFE
Hyde is Found Guilty of Murder in the
First Degree But Only
GETS A LIFE SENTENCE
Sensational Murder Trial in Kansas
City Knds With the Conviction of
Dr. Hyde, Whose Neck is Saved
by the Jury Fixing His I'unishnuMit
at hife Imprisonment.
At Kansas City, Mo., 011 Monday
Dr. It. Clarke Hyde, was convicted
and sectenced to life imprisonment
for the murder of Thomas II. Swoop.
a millionaire uncle of .his wife, who
had given her uearly two hundred
thousand dollars in his will.
Col. Swope died October 30 last.
His death certificate gave apoplexy as
the cause of death. I)r. llyde was
in attendance. The State avers he
poisoned the millionaire by a Itninistering
strychnine to him in capsule
form.
The motive for the alleged crime,
says the State, was to obtain wealth.
By the terms of Col. Swope s will,
Mrs. Hyde was to receive a share of
her uncle's property and some money.
Desiring to hast' 11 the settlement
of the estate and also to prevent
ceitain changes, which the colonel
had planned, from being made
in the will. Dr. Hyde, killed ill aged
capitalist.
Wnen indicted for the murder of
Col. Swope, ten other indictments
were returned against Dr. Hyde. In
them he was charged with the murder
of Chrisman Swope. a nephew
of Col. Swope, by administering poison
to him, negligently killing dames
Moss Hunton. a consia of Col. Swope,
by bleeding .him, and of attempting
to poison Misses Lucy Swope, Mildred
Fox, Sarah Swope, George Comton.
Nora Bell Dickson, Stella Swope,
Margaret Swope and Leonora Copbridge.
All of these people were attacked
by typhoid fever, prevalent in
the Swope home, and it is averred
Hyde caused their ilLss.
No indictment but that one relating
to the death of Col. Swope entered
the case which ended Monday,
however. He was a millionaire
real estate and mine owner, who
gave Swope park to Kansas City, and
who died suddenly on October 3,
1909, shortly after having taken a
capsule at the direction of Dr. Hyde.
Drs. H< ktoen and llaynes, of Chic- ^
ago, two eminent experts, who made
an analysis of the viscera of Col.
Swope, found strychnine in his stomach
and liver.
Dr. Bennett Clarke Hyde, the doff
ndant, is the son of a Baptist minister,
now retired, at Lexington, Mo.
He was graduated from the Wentworth
Military academy at Lexington,
and went to Kansas City in the early
90's and studied medicine.
A short time after he had been
licensed to practice I?r. Hyde was ap
Din iiv mayor
Webgter Davis. before .he had served
a year he was removed for unprofessional
conduct.
When in October, 1898, several
unusually bold grave robberies were
committed, I)r. Hyde's name b eanie
connected with the matter, but no
sufficient proofs were found against
him.
It was three or four years later
that the announcement was made of
Dr. Ilvdes engagement to .Miss Frances
Swope, daughter of Mrs. Margaret
Swope, of Indepenence, and t.ho
niece of the late Col. Thomas H.
Swope.
The engagement wa strongly opposed
bv Mrs. Margaret Swope, but
Miss Frances was determined to marry
Hyde and even the fact that several
breach of promise suits w ro
filed against him, which did not reflect
credit upon his cJharacter, did
not change her determiniation.
She became the wife of Dr. Hyde,
ind, aft r a while, truce was declared
and a fairly cordial entente
established between the Swope family
and Dr. Hyde. The door of t.he
Swope home was opened to the young
doctor last summer and soon thereafter
began a chain of events which
tsu??u uie aeatn 01 tnreo persons
and came near wiping out the entire
Swopo family.

Mr. Clark spoko for two hours.
His remarks were full of inures of
speech and anecdotes and were frequently
applauded.
