ROOSEVELT HAS COST
COUNTRY TOO MUCH

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-It Is regard
ed as possible, If not probable, that the
consideration of the legislative, judicial
and executive appropriation bill which
was begun in the senate today, win af-
ford a number of senators an opportunity
for further criticism Of President Roose-
welt. ~ ?
The bill as reported by the committee
increased the salary Of the president to
one hundred thousand dollars and in
creases also the pay OF the vice presi-
dent, speaker, supreme court justices
and other members Of tho federal judi
ciary.
President Roosevelt would not benefit
from the proposed increase, because his
term will have expired before the new
appropriation is available. But the prop
osition to make the. presidential office
more remunerative may, 1t is stated, fur
nish an excellent chance for the senate
to expose Mr.. RooseveIts alleged ex-
travagances during his occupancy of the
been the most expensive president in
history. and has spent the pubfic's money
with lavishness never dreamed.
Senator Clay opposed the increase TN
the salary of the president and other
officers of the government in the COM
mittee but was outvotedl He purposes to
fight the increases on the floor Of the
senate but it is not his purpose to make
an attack upon President Roosevelt
He takes the position that fifty thousand
a year. with the perquisites, is quite
enough salary. 81 y

PRESIDENT-ELECT MAKES
FAREWELL TO ATLANTA

A elimactic ending to a happy story
which progressed upward continually as
all well constructed stories must strik-
ing always towards an apex, is what
the reception given Judge William H.
Taft, presidentSelect, by the Capital City
club, Saturday night, is most remindful
of. COVE
AS he was in the height Of a dance,
despite his drolI protestatiOT1s, he was
snatched away by the committee on ar
rangements and his guard Of secret SER
vice officers, and borne of to his train
willy-nilly. For awhile MT. Taft SEEM
ed to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of re-
sisting.> Then he thought better of it, and
submitted quietly but with prosecuted
expression on his face that said as plain
ly as words, See how little personal
liberty we leaders of men have"
In the hallway as Mr.. Taft was saying
goodbye, Mayor Maddox grasped his
hand and gave him a cordial handmade.
you've made as many friends in the
south as we expected you to make, and
that means that every one is your
friend.'' said Mayor Maddox. II hope
you'll come to see us again soon and that
youth come as often as possible. -
Mr. Taft returned the cordial hand

a great time said he, and you may
be sure that I'll come to see you again >"
The president-elect was hurried away
to the waiting car, which made the
short distance to the union station in a
very brief time. A short time later the
Taft special pulled out of the depot and
sped away to Augusta. - = ~ est $50

TAFT, IN RLNGING SPEECH, W 'ss
SAYS SECTIONAL LINES
HAVE BEEN OBLITERAT TED

, Notwithstanding the strain OF the trip,
the Taft smile" was in evidence when
the president-elect met the long line of
visitors In Governor Smiths private re-
ception room a few minutes later. His
face showed the exhaustion of the days
travel, his hair had fallen low over his
forehead and was matted by perspira-
ton above his eyes, but the blue eyes
sparkled with enjoyment s
He shook hands with every one who
was presented to him, told them that
he was glad to meet them and left, the
impression that, while he did not have
the smile that President Roosevelt has, he
possesses humor that was strictly his
own and just as well-pleasing. -
While busy shaking hands with one
of the distinguished justices Of the state
supreme court, Mr.. Taft turned to
Governor Smith, and said in low voice,
with a twinkle in his eye: .
Have 1 got to speak to all the people
out there9"

me a cue, won't you, please governor"

GOT DTSPENSATTON TO
EAT TAFT 'POSSUN

Though the Taft banquet came on FRI
day, a meatless day for Catholics, Rev.
Father Gum. of the Church of the Sacred
Heart, and all of his Pensioners who at
tended, ate zestfuly of the 'possum and
wild turkey and every other meat that
was served.
This indulgence was made possible by
Il special dispensation which Father
Dunn secured for himself and his parish
toner's from Bishop Kelly, of Savannah.
To many Catholics 1t was somewhat of a
puzzle for a while as how those of them
who were going to the banquet could rec
oncile the day and dishes. Father Gum
settled the problem by wiring the Bishop
for dispensation and securing it.

Careful people buy the smallest package of

them a week in a hot house; then count
their plants. They've got 100 Long Island
plants and 10 German.

hage seed growers account for that? They II
tell YOU the German seed is mostly turnip,

Why didn't the turnipseed grow? The
Germans had killed it, baked it. What did
they bake it for? Dead seeds tell no tales.
there's a whole business in killed seeds.

that look like cabbage and something else !;
he can mix EN- with actual seeds, a pound

The deceased was the only brother of

hope of the unfortunate man life from
the very beginning of his married life.
To many of his relatives in Frosthurg
his sad story is already known. For the
others it would not be interesting, and
so we will allow the mantle of silence to
rest upon it as to particulars.
In atfectionate tribute to his memory
