and surrounding country. So far it
has been impossible to get any correct
areport of the scoring. but the report
grill be given as soon as received from
5tscretary King. "Wednesday evening
Professor Ellesson who judged and
scSpred the chickens gave a lecture on
this breeding of fancy and utility poul-
trA7 and he had a very large audience
to hear his instructive lecture, who

MORE pay FOR PRESIDENTS.

bill has been introduced IN con-
gress which seeks to raise the salaries
of our presidents to 100000 year.
President Roosevelt has indicated THAT
he will approve such measure with
his signature, and he is also In favor
of a provision for an annuity OF $4,000
or $4,000 for retiring presidents, al
though he does not wish any such pro-
vision to be made for him. President
Roosevelt, who knows from his own
experience, says that an executive
leaves the presidency at the end OF his
administration as poor as when he en-
tered it. The heavy demands on the
presidents private purse for enter
tainruents and general functions are
such, he says, as to cause the average
man wfo holds the position to retire
from it with practically nothing on
hand but experience and prestige. This
very prestige, as the late Grover Cieye-
land pointed out in an article short
time before his death, limits the for
mer presidents field Of activities to
the extent that he is less fitted to
properly support his family after leav-
ing the presidential chair than before
he entered the White House.
President-elect Taft is generally I'M
derstood to be a poor man. If he
should find the salary now paid to be
only SUFFICIENT to, meet the demands.
leaving no possibility Of saving, lie
might be embarrassed in making both
ends meet and at the same time main
tanning the dignity with which custom
has clothed the former presidents. It
is question that is worthy of consid-
Grafton by congress.
