elected, because he voices the sentiment
of the people"
That is the opinion OF Edwin Warheid.
Of Baltimore. Md, who has Just retired as
governor of Maryland. The governor is
now president Of the Fidelity and Deposit
Company of Maryland. and is visiting all
the cities where his company Is repre-
sented.
Il was much impressed with Gov. John
son, both from a personal and political
standpoint" said the Maryiander. while
know Mr. Bryan. and enjoy a personal
acquaintance with him. and have a high
regard for him, still ! think Coy. john
son is the proper man for the nomination
at Denver in June.
He is unassuming and yet he seems to.
be in direct touch with The pulse Of the
people He knows. perhaps as well as
any one else, what the people want, and
| his policies are directly in line with the
expressed sentiment OF the people.
He has great personality. I don't
know when have met man with whom
nave been so greatly impressed. I have
| followed his career closely. I know
what ne has done. I know what he Is
capable Of doing. To my mind he is the
logical candidate for the Democratic nom
ination for President"
| Ex-Gov. Warfield was entertained by
Gov. johnson while in the Minnesota me-
| tropolis. He and johnson, on that occa-
sion' renewed an earlier acquaintance.
W. K. stubbs. of Topeka, Kans.. who
IS at the National said, yesterday, it is
common rumor in Kansas that Gov. Hoch
recently wrote q letter to each member
of the Kansas delegation at the National
Capital denying in general the interview
attributed TO him in a number Of news
papers.
The governor at that time Is re-
| ported TO have criticised the Kansas
| Congressman and Senator'S" continued
Mr. stubbs. saying that no Kansas
voices were raised, when the prohibltory
questions were at issue, and none on
bank guaranty laws and similar meas
ures. The governor IS said 70 have said
at the time that his dander rose when
he thought about It, and he would Ike
to be there in the fight himself. The
] interview. it was said, was given in an
swer 10 a question as TO whether the
! governor would run for United States
/ Senator
1T looks to me ss if Taft would bs
nominated. It also looks as if he were
/ going TO have a hard flight on hand.
No matter whether Bryan or johnson
viii oppose him, Taft viii have to make
heroic efforts 10 win"
"The trouble IN raising tea in the
United States does not lie in any par
| t.cular difficulty Of cultivation" said
jules R. SHEPPARD. of Columbia, s. c.,
at the New Willard, yesterday. but be-
cause most Of the individuals who have
raised the plants haven't known how
to pick and cure the leaves.
! In the Southern States. the picking
begins about May 1 and continues III
about the middle of October. ONLY the
bud and the first two or three leaves
/ should be taken.
TO cure your own tea all that IS
necessary is a four-quart double boiler,
a large asate-lined pan, large wooden
spoon or paddle, and kneading board or
la clean kitchen table To make black
! tea, take the leaves, spread them thinly
/ and evenly on a clean table or floor.
and let them remain there for from
/ twelve TO twenty-f0ur hours During
that time they will lose about half their
weight BY evaporation and viii get soft
like old kid
"Tea culture Is profitable II properly
1 followed. There is no reason why a
| large part OF the tea consumed in the
/ United States should not be supplied BY
/ the United States itself. There seems 10
be a peculiar prejudice. however, against
domestic tea, which, It seems, il is diff
! cult to overcome"
/ Richard G. Walker. prominent as a
/ business man and politician in Philadel-
| phia. who is registered at the Raleigh.
in discussing national politics and busi-
ness, said. yesterday. that Taft would be
nominated and elected.
Business in the year preceding the
change in administration. he said. had
always been poor, and this year was,
therefore, no exception 70 the rule.
Roosevelt no more than Bryan or John
son could be blamed for IT, he considered.
There is much talk about a third term
/ for Roosevelt continued Mr.. Walker
There are the various booms OF the va
/ rious favorite sons All these will van
ish when the convention is opened and
the first ballot VIII have been taken. Taft
is absolutely secure, no matter what the
allies may claim for themselves
Roosevelt has perfect right to sup
port whomsoever he chooses. I don't
think il is right 10 accuse him Of select
| ing his so-called successor. The Presi-
dent, as American citizen. has the right
TO express his preferences and use his
efforts to elect him
johnson, I believe, would make bet
ter run than Bryan. who has tried twice
and has been found wanting every time"
Speaking about a school for retarded
pupils. Prof l. X starr. Of Cleveland,
who is registered at La Normandis. said
yesterday:
1T is the intention Of Supt. Dyer. OF
the Cincinnati public schools, to estab-
! lish In the new first intermediate school,
when it is opened at the beginning OF
the next school year, some six or eight
rooms for the benefit of retarded pupils.
THE action of Supt Dyer is the result
of the constant discussion Of defective
and retarded children by the Principals
Association during the last school year.
This had been suggested in the last an
nual report of the school superintendent
1T was the belief of supt. Dyer that
| constant investigation 0u the part OF
the various school principals would show
20 the board of education the need az
some action to care for retarded chill
dren II is his belief that the board viii
allow an experiment 70 be made during
the coming school year. From the va
rlous schools retarded and defective chill
dren Will be sent 10 the rooms that will
be arranged.
"Supt Dyer also declares that the ques-
tion of retarded children was being made
a close study over the country. Many
things had to be experimental with to
bring education up TO its present stand
ard and the object Of the discussion OF
