ceipt by Mr.. Taft Of a telegram which

Il feel that I am to be congratulated
in securing the services of Senator
Knox in my cabinet" said Judge Taft
In making the announcement. In

nan who would fill the public eye, not
only here but abroad, as a man who
stands out prominently as a great

"Mr. Knox was a great attorney
general; he was a prominent candi-
date for the presidency, and he is rec
ognized in the senate and elsewhere
as one of the great lawyers OF that
body"
Calls Knox to Advise Him.
Judge Taft also feels that from a
political viewpoint the selection of MIR.
Knox is most happy. He explained
that there was often Il feeling that the
state of Pennsylvania, with it's as
sured Republican majorities, was
Sighted in the matter of recognition
in the high councils of the party. That
this will not be the case in the next
administration was indicated by the
announcement by Mr.. Taft that he
should invite Senator Knox to come
to Augusta that he might consult him
freely with reference to filling other
places in his cabinet.
In fact, he said that he felt the
need Of such advice as he should be

influence will be potent was freely ad-
mitted by Mr.. Taft.

W. Wickersham of New York would

HICKORY NUTS ARE
SCARCE THIS YEAR

Are there any hickory nuts this
year" is the question that is being
asked by the young and the old alike.
The people in the city are asking their
relatives in the country as to the crop.
Nearly every farmer in Wayne coun-
ty has received inquiries this year in
regard to the nuts.
Within the past several years the
nuts have been very scarce and have
been almost luxury to the people in
Richmond. For when the crop was
plentiful they were spotted" or else
taken by the owners of the land on
which the trees were situatd or. some
one who had been watching the trees.
managed to secure the hickories be-
fore other people awakened to the
fact that the crop was ready to gath
err.
Farmers who have been asked the
above question turned and with a sad
smile replied Very few / fear" The
crop this year does not seem TO be
very abundant.
The scarcity of hickory nuts will
have an effect on the squirrels which
will be fewer this year than in any
previous years. All sportsmen recog-
nize that when this crop is scarce
there are very few of the bushy tails
to be found in the woods. The hick-
DRY nut is one of the delicacies of the
table of Mr.. and Mrs. Squirrel during
the cold winter months.

TO quote from a petition presented To
congress by the great labor leaders of
the country, constituting the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor:
The Committee on Labor of the
House Of Representatives was institut-
ed at the demand of labor to voice it's
sentiments, to advocate it's rights and
to protect it's interests.
"In the past two congresses this
committee has been so organized as
to make Intellectual any attempt labor
has made for redress. This being the
fact, in the last congress labor request
ed the Speaker to appoint. on the
Committee on Labor, members who
from their experience, knowledge and
sympathy would render in this con-
gress such service as the committee
was originally designed to perform
Not only was labors request ignored,
but the hostile makeup of the COM
mittee was accentuated."
Hon. L. White Busby is the private
secretary Of Speaker Cannon. In a
magazine article, discussing the pow
ers Of the Speaker. Mr.. Busby relates
the circumstance of a bill having been
prepared, and three-fourths of the
members of the house having signed
a request to the Speaker asking that
the Rules Committee of which he is
chairman, bring in special rule for
the consideration Of the bill. The
Speaker refused the request. The
Chairman Of the Committee pleaded
and urged. Continuing, Mr.. Busby
says:
CAS- a final stroke the Chairman
said: Then. Mr.. Speaker, this bill Is
to fall by the will Of one man who Is
In the chair by our votes. We have
no redress from this one-man power
Yes. you have replied the Speaker.
You have way to pass your bill.
You placed me in the chair to shout
der the responsibility of the legisla-
ton here enacted. In my view can
not assume the responsibility for this
bill. You can elect a new Speaker to-
day. and pass your bill. II you can find
one who will accept that responsible
that bill will not become law"
The genial and accomplished Speak
er has spoken for himself on this sub
5ect. In an interview printed on Aug
20, in the St Louis Globe Democrat a
stalwart Republican newspaper. he
points out the only remedy left to the
people. other than that of the ballot
box. for the wrongs complained Of
The interviewer said:
Mr., Speaker, you are also called

press holds you up as the one all
powerful influence in the House who
thwarts the will of the people and ar
bitrariiy decides what legislation shall
be considered and passed in the great
popular branch of the national con
gress"

levy millions of tribute each year upon
the newspapers of the country and
their readers. The press of the coun-
try, without regard to party, united in
demanding relief The people of the
republic unanimously seconded the de-
mand. The president Of the United
States threw the influence Of his great
office in favor of the demand Of the
press and the people. But all without
avail. The dominant forces within the
Republican party had established in
the lower house of congress a parlia-
mentary condition, in the interest of
monopoly, under which the sole power
to determine whether measure
should be allowed to become law or
not was lodged in the speaker of that
body and his committee on rules, and
