ROOSEVELT
ASSAILED
Claude Kitchin Of North Caro-.
lima Vigorously DenOunces
the President.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-President
Roosevelt was assailed bitterly by Mr..
Claude Kitchin On. O. in congress. He
also included in his castigation General
GrOsvenOr, whom he charged with hay
ing Inundated Theodore Roosevelt, the
vice presidential candidate, whom in
a recent speech in the house he had
glorified as the worthy successor of
Mckinley. Mr. Kitchn likened Presi-
dent Roosevelt in this connection to
the ant hill taking the place of the
mountain, the OWLS screech taking the
place Of the tomb's symphonies and
to the minnOw taking the place of the
whale. He declared that the president
had insulted the people Of the south
by saying in one of his publications
there ran a streak of brutal barbarism.
He openly charged the president with
being the advocate OF lynch law and
quoted from one of the presidents
books to sustain his assertion In his
opinion the president who he said
while governor of New York had styled
the members Of congress as "A herd Of
cattle, was unfit TO hold Office and a
dangerous man.
General Grosvenor admitted that
four years ago he opposed the nomina-
ton of Mr. Roosevelt for vice presi-
dent, but said Mr.. Roosevelt during the
campaign had conducted himself in a
dignified manner and had won the con
fidence and esteem of the people by
his acts from the time he was elected
to preside over the senate and that he
reached the supreme heights when he
declared at Buffalo that he would carry
out the policies of Mckinley. Since
then the president had grown to be
one of the great men Of the country.
The president he said was today more
dangerous TO the Democratic party
than any other man. The Democrats
In New York, he said, had launched a
candidate for president who did not
know whether he stood on his head or
his heels.
Preceding this episode the house de-
bated the bill to create a commission
to investigate the merchant marine,
but took no action on IL.

Ravaees of the English Sparrow.

A general complaint Is being reg
istered in Dickson against the raw
ages of the English sparrow, the
depredations of which are the worst
this year ever known. Neither
orchard, field nor garden escape
their rapacious beaks, and in num-
berless instances even Irish potato
plants are totally destroyed. And
the worst of it is there seems to be
no way of getting rid of the pests ex-
cept by poison, and that is an ex-
tremely dangerous method. Some
farmers claim that in feeding their
poultry these birds swarm down in
great droves and frequently consume
as much feed as do the fowls.
