The Hyde Park branch of the wo man's organization argued that as Miss Francos Willard was the founder and organizer of the Woman's Chris tian Temperance union and had been honored by the city of Chicago in naming the school for her, "the -placing of Miss Reed in charge of that par ticular echool was an insult directed at tha organization and at woman hood in general." The committee of the beard of edu cation report that there was nothing upon which the petition of the temper ance union could be granted, but it reported a rule to guide teachers in the futtira. The new rule follows: "The principals and teachers in the public schools of Chicago should al ways refrain fiom making public any comparison likely to lneur Hi will or hatred between classes of citizens as regards religion, race, nationality or occupation."

Taft Trying to Help ' Democrats. Fully cognizant of the fact that ha must depend upon the almost solid vote of the democrats in the senate to carry the reciprocity bill through, President Taft has been endeavoring to devise a means to help them out ;f tha dilemma that will be presented when they are asked to vote for or against the free list bill as a rider to the reciprocity measure. Don't Want Free List Bill Stifled. Some democratic senators have told the president frankly they would vote against the free list amendment if they could be assured that the "stand, pat" republicans would not stifle in com mittee the free list bill as it came from tha house and thus deprive the southern democratic senators of the opportunity in open senate properly to record their votes on tho measure. Taft Suggests a Way Out.'. - President Taft fully appreciates ths position in which the senate democrats find themselves, but he thinks he has found a solution of the problem. He has suggested that a motion by the democrats that the finance committee be discharged from consideration of the free list bill and that it bo put upon iis passage would serve the pur pose of the democrats 4n making their attitude a perfectly clear one, and hq has further expressed confidence in the fairness of the American people to recognize the purpoie of those who would attempt the free list method of defeating reciprocity. May Be Demooratic Solution. The plan as outlined has been broadly discussed among democratic senators and it is said that they be lieve with other friends of reciprocity that it is an acceptable solution of the difficulty.
