DADY of Brooklyn is reported to have told « the President in an interview at the White House yo that the New York delegation to the Republican Convention in 1912 will be solid for a renomina- tion; that Chairman of the State Com- mittee will shape things to that end; that Col. Roosevelt will not view Mr. Barnes’s activity “with disfavor,” nor attempt to interfere with the shaping. About the same time the Brooklyn man was giving out that information in Washington a member of the Outlook staff was eaying | to an interviewer in this city: “Of course Col. Roosevelt could not! commit himself to any movement, but you will find every word of the Progressive League platform in Mr. Roosevelt's latest writings. It seems to be the latest word in politics The Outlook man is right. Progressive utterances can he found if Roosevelt's latest writings, but at the same time Col. Dady appears not to be wholly wrong. in the latest silences. a Barnes There has been no disfavor shown to Barnes eee ee « PIONEER WOMEN DOCTORS. R. STEPHEN SMITH, in an address at the Acad- emy of Medicine upon the services rendered to! the profession by Drs. Elizabeth and Emily Black- | well, referred to a Chinese woman in the audience | and gaid: “She passed the best examination for her diploma of any man or woman that ever came fore me, and she came from the school of the Drs. Blackwell.” "This tribute to the talent of a student against whom there would have been in a former genefation the double prejudice of sex and ace is an illustration of the extent to which the medical profession in our time has been enlightened and advanced.

Pierpont Morgan wishgs to sell Madison Square Garden because he has found it unprofitable, owing to its failure as a show place, has a triple interest. In the first place P Mr. Morgan has been more noted for grabbing things than for letting go of them; in the second place it has been supposed that he could make a gold mine out of | e-gold brick, and in the third place it has been almost a proverb that any stand is good enough if the show is good. ». New York is the best show place in the world. It has the largest nitmber of amusement seeking residents and pleasure seeking visitors. Tt has had from the days of Barnum to our own time the most enterprising, versatile and ingenious showmen., They have put up shows that take people to Coney Island. Why not to Madison Square ? * Emerson said: “If a man living in a wilderness made a better rat trap than anybody else, the world would make a road to his door.” It would be worth while for somebody to give the big garden an- other trial. ——_ ++ —__— | } OUR DUTY TO PERSIA.

(The New York World), No 21—A Change of Lodgings That Staggered Liberty. F a man in New York had not suddenly decided, one day in 1780, to change his lodgings, other pages must have been written in the story of America’s fight for freedom. Incidentally, an adventure that would have been one of the most spectacular and dramane ‘in all our history was averted. | Benedict Arnold had sought to betray our struggling country by selling the West Point strongholds to the British, He was commander there and was implicitly trusted. For a bribe of $30,000 and a brigadier-goneralship in the English Army he consented to yield this important place to the enemy. \ Had he succeeded the revolution must almost certainly have been crushed, and America would have remained a British province. (in an eariler article of this series the story of the attempted betrayal and of Ar- nold's escape to the British lines has heen told.) Even tnowsn the base plan had failed, it dealt a heavy blow to the pas triotic cause. For it gave the British the brilliant service of Arnold who, next to Washington, was perhaps the greatest American general. It also proved to other officers of doubtful allegiance that the British were not only able to protect American traitors, but to — A Kidnapping reward them handsomely, Such an example was bad Plot. for the cause gone to New York City, the British this There the English Com- mander-in-Chief, Henry received bim as a guest of honor.

And Gen, Wash- | ington hit on a daring plan to turn Arnold's triumph into such punishment | 8 would check all future traitors, | Washington's idea was to abduct Arnold from the latter's New York home, (have him brought to the American camp and hang him. This would not only how that America could punish treason, but would prevent Arnold from starts |ing for Virginia upon a marauding expedition which the renegade was even then onganizing. Such an expedition could not fall to injure the prospects, | of Mberty, The man chosen to kidnap Arnold was a Virginian, John Champe by name, | @ Sergeant-major in “Light Horse Harry Lee's" famous calvary legion. Champe was to pretend to desert from the American camp at Tappan-on-Hudson and was to gallop to New York. To insure secrecy, almost none of his comrades were told of the project.

Champe and an accomplice sent word to Lee to have a troop of cavalry walting one night in the woods on the New Jersey side of the river. Then they a:ranged to seize Arnold during his evening strol!
