WILLIAM Dudley Foulke of Indiana,
to whom it was written, has given out
a letter from President Roosevelt in
which the president takes occasion to
express himself very warmly and at
considerable length on the subject of
the stories that were published during
the recent campaign to the effect that
the presidents SON -in-law, Mr.. Tafts
brother and others, close to the admin
istration, benefited largely as the re-
suit of the deal by which an American
company acquired the rights and prop
critics Of the Panama Canal company.
The president denounces the story Of
the alleged deal as lie out of the whole
cloth and says that all papers In the
case that have not already been pub
lished are on record. and Of easy access
to anybody who desires to see them. Ed
itor Laffan, of the New York Sun. and
Delavan Smith, editor of the Indian
apolis News, come in for the presi-
dents bitterest denunciation.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the

siderable effort to show that the Will

We admit that we have not been CIV
ing very close attention to what the
Progressive Farmer has had to say on
the subject. We are too thoroughly
convinced that our contemporary is
only arguing and preaching against
the facts. AS the result of scores OF
inquiries, we find that every farmer
who has tried the Williamson plan has
met with satisfactory results, and to

sibilities Of Erwin following the loca-
ton of the general shops, yards and
division headquarters Of the Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio railway at this
place, but without a taint OF exagger-
alton, we feel safe in the prediction
that the growth and prosperity or our
city following close upon the heels OF
the above enterprise will be wonderful
in comparison to what it otherwise
might have been. New enterprises
will likely spring up on every hand.
Various mills and factories will soon
realize the advantages Of our town
for the location Of their enterprises,
and with promised phenomenal
growth in our population will come
the growth in manufacturing and
commercial enterprises as we'll as all
other business. No town in Tennessee
nor in the entire south for that mat
ter affords a more favorable point
for the location of various manufac-
turing and commercial enterprises
than does the town of Erwin on the
line Of the Carolina, Clinchfeld and
Ohio railway"

WE are inclined to think that in Sc
lecting Champ Clark Of Missouri, as
the leader Of the minority, the Demo-
Gratis have taken about the best man
there is in sight for the position. Mr.
Clark is a level-headed statesman, OF
splendid ability to start with, and this
ability is backed by the ripe experience
of long years on the floor Of the house.
Mr.. John Sharpe Williams is probably
the ablest leader the Democrats have
had since the days Of Carlisle; but he
was at a tremendous disadvantage in
having to follow a man who was so in
competent as Richardson. Mr.. Clark
will suffer no disadvantage in following
Williams, at least, not on account OF
any incompetency on Williams part;
but still it will be very we'll for the
Democrats to keep in mind the fact
that his task--that Of building prestige
for his party-under existing circum-
stances, IS no light one.

HARRIS APPEALS TO FARMERS.
Diversification Is the Way to Prosper.
itY and Success.

President 3. Harris Of the State
Farmers Union, came out last week in
an appeal to the farmers to reduce the
cotton crop and secure higher prices by
devoting TO the other crops twenty five
per cent Of the land now planted in
cotton. He urges diversification OF
crops as the remedy for the alleged
over reproduction Of cotton.
There is nothing particularly new in
what Mr.. Harris says. but he puts II
in a very fOrcible way.
"DiverSifiCation of crops is the rem
edy for 9-Cent cotton" says Mr.. Har-
riS.
How Is the farmer TO be able to price
his cotton and get the price he puts
on his staple, which represents his la
Dor? There are three things essential
First. organize yourselves; second, CO.
operate together; third. diversity your
crops so as TO make home self-sup-
porting. Raise corn, bacon. wheat.

night riders, who have many friends
in Miller county, and who say that the
two men will never be taken.

SEVERAL Dutch war vessels have
been patrolling the coast of Venezuela
during the past few days and word
has gone out that the Dutch govern
ment has started in to bring the Vene-
zuelan government to terms. The first
war vessel was sighted at La Guira,
Venezuela on last Wednesday morning
1T 5 o'clock, and since then the city
has not been showing lights at night.
Statements, supposed to emanate from
the Dutch government, have gone out
to the effect that no actual demonstra-
ton has been commenced; but as to
exactly what the facts are is not alto
gether clear. The common belief, how
ever, seems to be that the Dutch Will
persist in their demonstration until
some definite result Is accomplished.

HOLLAND AND VENEZUELA. -Hol-
lands action in revoking her treaty of
1894 with Venezuela is an act Of re-
taliation that may have serious results
for President Castro's country. Cas-
tro's own performance in closing the
Venezuelan ports to ships coming from
the Dutch Island Of Curacao was such
a heavy commercial blow to the Dutch
colonial port Of Willemstad that Hol-
lands counter blow is the natural re-
suit Of a retaliation policy. But its ul-
innate significance is in the fact that
the annulment of the treaty OF 1894
opens Willemstad to the export trade
in war materials and thus makes 1t
possible for Venezuelan revolutionists
TO use the Dutch port as base Of mil
itary supplies. This alone would stim-
ulate revolutionary movements in Ven
ezuela, but the Dutch government goes
much farther, In announcing that 1t
will not interfere with filibustering eX-
petitions, 1t evidently seeks to provoke
a revolutionary outbreak against Pres
ident Castro in his own country. Such
an announcement Is so far hostile to
Venezuela as to be breach Of inter-
national law and could be legitimately
regarded by the Venezuelan president
rs a casus belli But Holland for some
time has been ready. apparently, for
extremes in her dealings with the South
american cOuntry-Springfleld Repub-
lican.

PRESIDENT Harris's letter Of this
week to the Farmers Union is certain
ly along the right line. There is just
a little doubt about the success OF the
holding movement last year. The idea
was all right; but the holding move
ment was met by curtailment of pro-
duction movement, and the curtailment
got rather the best of it. OF course,
f the holders had been able to hold out
longer, the end would have been differ
ent. But the whole thing was like a
game with many elements of uncer-
tainty. The present expedient-the one
Mr.. Harris is now advising-may not
be so attractive as the other; there is
that about it which fails to appeal so
strongly to many people as does the
holding idea. Diversification, however
is bound to prove a winner, If it ever
gets a fair show. 1t will win for each
individual who tries it and 1t will win
for the south as a whole.
