Beverly, Mass, Aug. 16.-In letter
addressed to Secretary Nagel, of the
department of commerce and labor,
President Taft served notice that any
man engaged in the taking of the
thirteenth census of the United States
who engages in politics in any way
will Immediately be dismissed from
the service. Outside of casting their
votes the president believes that cen
sus supervisors and enumerators
should keep clear of anything that
savors of politics, national, state or
local.
The president orders that the sec
rotary of commerce and labor and
the director of the census embody in
the regulations covering the taking of
the census the rule so forcibly laid
down in his letter.
Mr.. Taft says that in appointing
census supervisors it has been found
necessary to select men recommended
by senators and congressman in their
districts. He says he realizes that
this method of selection might easily
be perverted to political purposes and
1t is to take the census work out of
politics, so far as the actual work is
concerned that he has so explicitly
expressed his desire as to the regu-
lations.
President Taft has told the repre-
sentatives and senators who have
urged various men for census places
that he would insist that no active
partisan should be named, and that
no attempt should be made to build
up a political machine in any state
or district through the distribution ypf
the census patronage. The presi-
dents letter in full follows:
One hundred and thirty-four addi-
tional supervisors Of the census were
appointed President Taft was busy
until late Saturday night signing the
commissions of the successful candi-
dates. Altogether 1874 of the $50 sup
ervisors have been agreed upon. But
some are being held up temporarily
on account of protests.

which appeared, however, more forced
than real. The members Of his family

the thoroughness of their defeat.
Thaw declined to give out any extend

the assertion that he was not dis

his fight for liberty.

Still insane, Says Mills.

Justice Mills in his opinion, reaches
three formal conclusions: That Thaw
was insane when he killed White
that he has not yet recovered; and
that public peace and safety will be
endangered by setting him at large.
He upholds District Attorney Jerome's
contentious that Thaw still cherishes
delusions regarding the practices of
Stanford White and his associates. He
characterizes Evelyn Thaw's tale of
the Madison Square Tower room, and
similar stories about White told at the
sanity hearing, as wild and grossly
improbable, evidently to any normal
mind grossly exaggerated.
He asserts his belief in the testi'
mony OF Susan Merrill, regarding
Thaw's alleged pervert practices and
pints out the contrast between Thaws
chivalrous attitude as protector OF
young American womanhood, and his
private life.

REAL CHEWING TOBACCO.

Out in Arkansas, to use an old say
ing, each man chews his own tobacco
and spits where he pleases. = To get
tobacco in proper shape for the Ar
kansas palate is a long and laborious
process. 1t requires a log, an ak, an
auger, a hammer, corn whisky, honey,
maui and wedges. However, in the
opinion of the Arkansas chewer, it is
worth it, says the New York Post.
The Arkansas chewer buys or raises
leaf tobacco. Then he goes out into
i, the woods and cuts down tree. Trim
ming off the branches, he rolls the log
to a place where the sun will shine on
1t fourteen hours a day in summer and
eight hours in winter. Beginning at one
md Of the log, with the auger he bores
holes three inches apart until he has
| reached the other end After he has
blown the chips away he seizes bun
die of tobacco and begins the work of
ramming the leaves down in the auger

inches Of the top. The next setp is to
take the hammer and ram the tobacco
as hard as it can be rammed. 4 lug
of corn whisky. which would burn the
throat out of an Fastener, then is
called into play. The tobacco chewer
goes from hole to hole, pouring in corn
whisky on top of the tobacco until the
holes are filed within an inch or so of
the bark
After the whisky jug the Arkansas
chewer takes up a jar of honey. From
it he pours enough of the sweetening
into each hole until it is filed to the
! top. The >Arkansan then sits down on
the log for two hours to permit the
corn whisky and the honey to soak
into the tobacco leaves. He occupies
that time in whiting plugs to fit each
/ of the holes. when he drives a plug
into each anger hole until it viii go no
further.
/ In Arkansas the objectionable sin is

to the log for two weeks. At the ex-
