For years the Memphis CONNER
cial Appeal has been carrying a
daily paragraph on its editorial
page credited to the Hardeman
Free Press. These paragraphs afe
very funny on account of their
audicrous errors in photography
and phraseology, and they have
been copied by papers in every
state in the Union. The Hardeman
Free Press is the name of weekly
paper published at Bolivar. Tenn,
but the funny things it is credited
with saying never appear in its
columns. They are merely the in
ventions of a clever writer on the
Commercial Appeal. This publicity
gave the Hardeman county paper
an increased circulation and
brought its editor. Jack Reaves,
into such prominence that he was
put up for the lower house in the
Tennessee legislature and elected
by a fattering majority.

To Erect Canneries on the Farms

A number of farmers in this section
are contemplating adding canneries
to their farms. 1t is said hat the
canning of fruits and berries for mar
ket in tin cans offers one of the most
profitable methods of selling the pro-
ducts Of the farm. Any farmer can
learn to do canning in a very short
time, and it is much more profitable
convenient and pleasant to can ones
own produce than tt sell to a cannery.
Outfits can be bought from SO to
$10,O 900, and any of them will do good
work, but any one of ordinary intelli-
.gence can fix UP all the apparatus need
ed at much less cost than any of
these outfits sell for. The average far
mer can fit up at home an outfit for
$40 that will be sufficient to can 2 5000
cans per season, and then as he &C
quires knowledge of the business he
can add conveniences and facilities
as he sees the need of them.-Reids-

Cleveland, O., Aug. 11.-Frank
Rockefeller, brother OF John D.
Rockefeller, tonight denied that he
had given a New York newspaper
an interview declaring that he would
expose the oil king and force him in
to exile in foreign lands.
He was seen at his home Lake
land" at Wickliffe, a village east of
Cleveland. His intense hatred Of the
oil king could be noticed, however,
and his attitude was one of suppress
ed excitement when the matter was
preached to him.
= Extracts from the New York paper
were read to him and made him ner-
vous.
He rocked to and fro in his big
arm chair, tapping nervously on the
porch floor with his slippers. When
the reading had been concluded he
said:
81 did not give that interview and
anybody hat say | did lies
Does the interview express your
sentiments, no matter how it was
o%btained?" was asked.
Mr.. Rockefeller was silent fully for
a minute and hen turning to his
Qu%estioner remarked:
81 will not discuss that phase Of
the interview"
will any condition arise that will
inspire you to speak?'
THAT | will not discuss now" he
said, with emphasis upon his last
word.

Herewith is given the interview

The World, at his office in Cleve-

the World reporter apprised him of
the object of his visit.
"Within forty-eight hours after it's
publication l was in New York city
with my lawyer.
Before | returned | had Miss Tar
bells sacred promise that she would
never again write a line or a word
about father.
Il want the World also to leave
him alone"
Mr.. Rockefeller was assured that
if he would consent to reveal the
whereabouts of his father the story
would be published in his own
words.
IF l consent to give the facts to
the World for publication when the
right time comes will the World
agree to publish nothing until that
timer" he asked.
The promise was given, with an
added proviso, that when the time
should come to publish the facts the
proof sheets of the article should be
submitted to MI. Rockefeller for fin
al approval.

Incensed at Governor Sheldon's veto
of the $4,000 appropriation for
new normal school building, disap-
pointed people of Kearney are threat
ening to contest the governors action
on the ground that the time limit had
expired, making the appropriation eff
fective without the governors sigma
ture. This is a purely legal proposition.
Without going into the merits of the
appropriation or its object, 1t would,
if established, have a wider applica-
ton than to the one vetoed item, be-
cause 1t would also affect number of
other measures that suffered gubeTna-
torial disapproval.
In the matter of the time allowed
the governor to act upon bills passed
by the legislature, we take it that
there is not much room for divergent
reading of the constitution. Every
bill or resolution passed by the two
houses must be presented to the gov
ernor, who is entitled to take FIVE days,
SfANAueAhS VI Dunhdgbs W uGNEi lnA1C
whether to sign or veto. If five days
elapse without action the bill becomes
law without his signature. For bills
or resolutions, however, on which the
five days would elapse after the adj
journment the governor has five days
from adjournment. The late legisla-
ture adjourned sine die about 1880
Friday afternoon, although the legis-
lative clock and calendar were set for
Wednesday noon. Inasmuch as the
law takes no account of fractional
days, the ordinary reading of the con-
stitution would give the governor un-
til the following Thursday midnight
to approve or disapprove any measures
left in his hands at the time of adj
journment, no matter although passed
at any time within FIVE days preceding
the last legislative day. Were the
time to be computed by the legislative
clock the governor might be COM
pletely deprived of his veto power by
a legislature willfully remaining in ses-
sion for more than five days after the
clock had been stopped and sending
bills dated back to the legislative cal
endar to the governor up to the last
minute.
If the people of Kearney want to
have a test of the normal school ap-
preparation veto. that is their privi-
lege, but they should institute proceed
iLgs at once SO that we may know
what effect, if any. would be had on

The international arbitration and
peace congress. now in session in New
York, is practically a rehearsal as It
we're, of the program that will be con-
sidered at The Hague in June. At
present. marked differences prevail
among the nations that will participate
in The Hague meeting as to what sub
iects shall be discussed England is
avowedly in favor of adopting a plan
for universal disarmament and is sup
ported in q measure by the United
States. Russia, Germany and Austria
have already fled protests against the
formal consideration of this subject
and will refuse to be bound by any
action taken upon it. This decision
eliminates disarmament as a topic for
official discussion and leaves the dele
gates much at sea as to what may be
discussed without resultant friction
The peace congress in New York will
endeavor to conciliate participating
powers and induce them to unite In
action which will give The Hague tri-
bunals recommendations the force of
law.
The attendance upon the New York
of delegates from all of the
great nations of the world takes the
form of an overture to President
Roosevelt, through the American dele
gates, to lead in the work of The
Hague conference, as it is generally
conceded that the United States can
do more than any other power in ad-
vancing the movement that promises
to lead to world peace. Evidently APP
nreciating the feeling Of other nations
on the disarmament proposition, the
president, in his letter to the congress,
points out the obstacles In the way of
such proposition and recommends, as
a substitute, an agreement looking to
the limitation of the expenses for
naval and military equipment, with
the adoption of arbitration as means
Of settling difficulties between nations.
In effect, he advises the nations to
avoid precipitating a fight but to be
ready to fight, If necessary. He calls
attention to the fallacy of peace ora
lions which demand something which
can not as a matter of fact be done.
In his opinion, such efforts harm
rather than help the movement for the
peace of nations.
While the proceedings of the con-
gress necessarily will have only an
educational effect, the world will ap-
prove and support any plans which
may be adopted along the line. indi-
Gated by President Roosevelt looking
to ultimate elimination of wars.

During Dr. Bryan's absence in the east
with his sample case OF specifies for all ills
the body polite Is heir TO, the Commoner
has eliminated him from the list Of presi-
dental candidates in a moment Of inspira-
ton.
In an ingenious editorial the availability
OF southern men for the democratic nomi-

in the free for all competition is considered.
II is a handsome tribute 10 the number and
quality Of the logical candidates In the
south. They are described as statesmen
and hidden TO stand side by side for review
by the national convention.
Let us enter the convention with an eye
single to the party" says the Commoner.
The sentiment Of antagonism TO anything
that looks like a monopoly OF virtue by
any individual candidate, active or re-
ceptive, pervades the article. All the pos
sibiities from AccomGc TO Deaf Smith
county look alike 10 the Commoner. No
attempt is made TO handicap them on &C
count OF age or previous condition OF ser
vitude IN the cause Of democracy; all start
from scratch. Il Is submitted with the
greatest frankness that the selection must
be entered upon not with the view "of graft
tying any mans ambition or complimenting
any state or portion Of the union" but with
a desire to find the man who voices the
sentiments Of the rank ana file OF the
party" etc. II the most available man Is
a southern man let the candidate be from
the south by all means Nothing could be
handsomer. At the same time there Is a
care not to shut the door OF hope. for it is
added: THE same is true Of the north.
