How Much?

Mr.. Carnegie, of the Steel
Trust, was for Mr.. Taft for Pres
ident.
Mr.. Carnegie gave $4,000 of
his tariff-made millions to the
Republican campaign fund.
Mr.. Rockefeller announced
that he was for Mr.. Taft for
President.
How much he gave is not made
public.
Senator Foraker has been held
up to the public scorn by Mr..
Roosevelt for accepting attor-
ney's fees from the Standard Oil
Company.
How much did the Republican
Committee receive from Mr..
Rockefeller or the Standard Oil
Committee or both as a corrup-
ton fee? Also, if it was immor-
al for Senator Foraker to receive
an attorneys fee from the
Standard Oil Company, how
could it be right for the Repub-
lican Committee to receive favors
from it? s.
Is the trail of the Standard Oil
wicked only when it leads to a |
personal or political enemy of
Theodore Roosevelt?

A Dozen Dont's.

Don't keep old stock nor drones
it don't pay.
Don't let the young cockerels
run with the pullets.
Don't forget to save a few bar
rels of road dust.
Don't put off fixing up the poul-
try houses till cold weather.
Don't forget to put in one or
two cloth windows for fresh air.
Don't forget to put away some
green stuff and clover for the
winter months.
Don't put your fowls in win
ter quarters without a thorough
cleaning of the floors, roosts and
interior.
Don't let the fowls waste the
feed-a shallow box with a slat
follower will do the business.
Don't forget that a wire screen
door is as beneficial in winter, as
in summer, for the hen house.
Don't advertise yourself as
specialist, or an expert, if you
have not exhibited your stock at
the poultry shows.
Don't forget that plenty of
fresh air, as we'll as clean food
and fresh water, is essential to
good health and prosperity.
Don't let the nesting material
remain too long in the nests;
fresh straw with tobacco stems,
or lice powder, in the nest boxes,
is very attractive to "biddy."

MIR. Taft..-HimseIf.

The President-elect has an op-
portunity to, make himself a
splendid Chief Executive simply
by being different from Theo-
dore Roosevelt. A man of poise,
dignity and reserve, he will be
the stronger President for being
himself rather than the proxy Of
his predecessor. The American
people are tired of shouting,
screening, bronco-busting and
vaudeville in the White House,
and they cast their votes for Mr..
Taft despite, rather than because
Of, his attitude of a "me-too"
candid tie. They will be greatly
disappointed people if he follows
in the Roosevelt path or under
takes to give an imitation of
Teddy.
By temperament Mr.. Taft is
one averse to the practice Of
rocking the boat. He is not by
nature or by practice an agitat-
or. The people evidently were
in a mood to say, ''Let us alone. !"
They felt that under Mr.. Taft
the country would be little dis
turbed by drastic policies or i'm
portant legislation. They want
ed a rest. Mr.. Roosevelt was
the source of that feeling. Mr..
Bryan's promise of sound reforms
they construed as a pledge that
might prolong the disturbances
of the Roosevelt Administration.
And so, for a rest they chose

JURORS HELD STOCK
Mysterious Withdrawal of Ice Trust Case from Grand
 Jury Cleared Up.
ATTY GENERAL EXPLAINS
One Juryman Was Also an Iceman Having Contracts With Ameri-
 can Company.

New York, April 29 Special Deputy Attorney General James w. Osborne in the supreme court today declared that the reason the case of the American Ice company was withdrawn from the January special grand jury was that several members of the jury were fin- ancialy interested in the company.
 One member of the jury, said Mir. Osborne. had d five years contract to deliver the output of his ice houses to the American Ice company; another was the owner of stock in the Ameri- can Ice Securities company, the hold rg company of the American Ice com pany and another was so close to a holder of stock in tho Ice company that he told mo he could do nothing against the company"
 Mir Osboriie's statement was made in opposing a motion of the company for permission to examine the minutes of the grand jury. He said it is the in- tention of the attorney general to re- fer the matter to another grand jury and he asked that the defendant be denied the right to examine the min utes which contain all the evidence the state has.

Only laughter greeted this and Mir Fora ker requested in a mild tone that the senator speak louder. Later Mir. Da- vis's resolution was passed.

ATTACKS PROHIBITION
Congressman Says 1t Is n Devilish
 Device.


 Washington, April 29.-.A spirited at tack on prohibition was made today by Representative Richard Bartholdt of Missouri before the house committee on the District of Columbia, which has under consideration the Sims bill pro- viding for prohibition in the district.
 Prohibition Is a devllish device to nail the human family more securely to the cross of King Alcohol" He de- clared also that the pro- fessional prohibitionists have "coraled women and children" and that they had cracked the whip" over state leg islators. NOW" he continued. they are trying to crack the whip over the con gress of the United States.
 MT. Bartholdt said that outside of in- sanity there is only one other state of mind which cannot be reached by the force of reason and that state Is fan aticism. "The pipe dream of these people," he continued. is bound to be followed by a rude awakening The realization surely will come that legis- latlon is always a failure in this line"
