He FOOLED US
Hitchcock Will Hand Out the Pie
in the South
ONLY REPUBLICANS

Or Those Who Claim to be RepuD-
Icans, VIII Be Allowed to Get
Near Enough the Pie Counter to
Get Slice Of the Pie as it is Civ
en- Out.
Washington, April 1.-The idea
that Democrats would be appointed
to the Offices in the South by Presi-
dent Taft has gone glimmering, and
the indications now are that none
but good Republicans will be allowed
up to the pie counter.
Day after day statements are CIV
en- out at the White House defining
what will be" President Taft's pol
icy in the matter of federal appoint
ments. This has continued so long
that it is becoming somewhat thread
bare.
First it was stated that in the
South Democratic senators would be
consulted" by Mr.. Taft before any
appointments Of importance would
be made. The Democratic senators
know too well that no such thing
will be done, and they are too
shrewd to be caught by this.
It is generally known that Frank
H. Hitchcock will be the real ap-
pointing power with reference to
all Southern Offices; and Frank n.
Hitcncock's record in the pine line
just before the Taft nomination,
when he rounded up-all the South
ern postmasters and other job hold
ers, does not tally with the state
ment that Democrats are to be
consulted" in regard to Southern
appointments.
The latest statement informally
furnished from the White House is
in regard to judicial appointments,
and is to the effect that such ap-
pointments will not be part Of the
patronage of United States senators.
It says:
"The president does not propose to
have judges made through political
deals and influences. He considers
that he is competent to pass upon
the fitness Of men for the bench,
and he will do so. At the same time
he will be glad to receive sugges-
tions from senators and representa-
tives as to the qualifications Of ap-
plicants for judicial places.
Upon other matters Of federal ap-
pointments the policy Of the new
president is to place upon the sena-
tors the responsibility Of first class
selections. In way he will defer
to their recommendations more gen
erously than did his predecessor.
Mr.. Roosevelt frequently departed
from senatorial recommendations
and was often in hot water with SEN
ators over nominations not suitable
to them.
This will not be so with Mr.. Taft.
He will take it for granted that
recommendations made by senators
will be of reputable men, and he
will not make Investigations to as
certain whether these recommends
tions are proper"
If Mr.. Taft keeps up with the
policies with reference to South
ern patronage" that have been at
trtbuted to him, he will have siren
uous time Of it in the White House.
But, as stated, Mr.. Hitchcock will
relieve him Of most Of the burdens
along this line.

people. In this part of the conver-
sation Mrs. Tillman Joined, setting
him right when she thought he was
wrong about some date or occurrence,
which gave rise to pleasant badinage
between the two that was very en-
joyable. He stated that in some
things the Europeans are ahead Of
US; in others fa1 behind. In Spain
and Italy, for instance, he said the
farmers have few or no improved
agricultural machinery. They plow
with the crudest sort Of plows and
reap their grain with ol6-fashioned
scythes. He made another state
ment, which to most of US Will be
of information, namely, that in no
part Of Surpoe he visited did he see
any red soil or clay such as is found
in many parts Of this country.
Before retiring for the night, Sen
ator Tillman gave an exhibition OF
some exercises with dumb bells,
which he has found Of great benefit
to his health which, by the way. is
excellent by bringing into play mus
cles rarely used. He recommends
such a regime Of exercise, claiming |
that it is beneficial to one even after |
he has passed the age of sixty. He
has toughened his muscles consider |
ably, and in time, no doubt, he will
be able to compete with the siren
uous Mr.. Roosevelt in a horseback
