SOUTHERN PATRONAGE"

In another column we Dubltsb q,
editorial from the Washington ID
Co. Herald, headed Taft and Soutb
ern Patronage" From this editoria
IL appears that President Taft ha
been appealing to the Democratic
Senators to help him in securing tn,
best men, either Democrats or Re
puDlicans, for Federal appointment,
in the South.
Senator Simmons is quoted as cav
ing TO the President that he woulf
not recommend any one for office
and when asked by the President fo,
al explanation, he said that he
would not recommend a Democrat
because II he did the Democrat
would accept the Office and them
would become Republican.
Surely, Senator Simmons must
nave been misquoted, because such
statement is a reflection unon -
"ol an insult to, every one of his
democratic constituents. Senator
summons as the leader of his party
mas used continually as a camna,on
slogan the cry that the Repuh,ican
party was simply made I'D of nia-
hunters. Now, does Mr.. Simmons
mean to charge that the Democratic
party IS also made up of pie hunters
linen hungry for pie, who would
hot only take it from a Democratic
administration, but who are so HIM
cry that they would actually tako -
from Republican administration,
This charge against the memhars
u the Democratic party by Mr.. Sim
mons is bad enough, but when he
cues further and says that the Dem
oeratlc pie-hunters would not on,v
TAKE the Jobs but would actually be-
come Republicans because thew oot
'hein' ne makes charge against tho
membership of his own party moro
serious than any he has ever made
against the Republican party.
1t may be, however, that Mr. Sim
mons has revised his INDIGNANT |
ABOUT the number of hungry n,a
hunters in his party since he has
seen the scramble among Democratic
lawyers TO get Republican Judge
sup In the East. And in this ron
hectlon' it will be remembered +b.+
MT. Simmons recently protested loud
~ that he would not take the iudso
snip himself if it was offered r. btn,
and he did this before anv Offer 49,
tender was made him.
We are not surprised, however I'll
'ne other part of Mr.. Simmons, nosi
.,oh that he would not advise the
ifesident as to who was the best Re-
puoilcan. 1t is well-known that tho
poiicy of the Democratic machine IN
north Carolina, and also the who'll
0outh' has been to further and .h+I
- any way possible the appoint
nent OF the most incompetent Pc
puoiicans to Federal Office, or Of
least they have seemed to sbou
great pleasure when such anno,nt
nients We're made, and on the Ground
Lhat as long as such appointments
we're MADE that the Republican partv
'ouid not grow and that the Demo
'ratle party could be guilty of all the
SINS OF omission and commission I'll

IN danger.

this unqualified statement BurriIi re-
fused to say more at this time, in re
gard to the actual climbing of the
peak.
Although BurriIl has received let
tiers and kilograms in large numbers
from newspapers. magazines and
others interested in the polar contro-
versy, offering him all sorts Of induce
ments to give his story regarding the
Mt. Mckinley incident. he has con-
sistently refused to accept any of
them. declaring that he simply wanted
to protect the interests Of himself and
his companions and at the same time
see that justice was done to those
deserving il.
He has in his possession a lettCS
from DR.. Cook written from Iabra-
dor i'm which the explorer informs him
of his intention to make a dash for
the pole and makes the remark, Il
am going to bring You a chunk of
the pole" Burrill declares that DR..
Cook was planning and figuring upon
his polar dash at the time he was
on the Mt. Mckinley trip and tried
to induce him to become a member
of the party.
In regard to whether or not he be-
lieves DR.. Cook reached the north
pole. Burrill Is evasive in his answers,
refusing to make any positive state
ment either one way or the other. But
in regard To the attitude. Commander
Peary has assumed towards Or. Cook
and the attacks the naval officer haa
made upon him he made this signifi-.
cant remark. .'Peary has got Cook
right Burrill expresses disappoint-
ment and even disgust that Cook
came back from the north under a
Danish flag and landed In Denmark
instead OF heading directly for his
did.
DR.. Cooks telegram to Burrill asked
/, the latter if he could come to New
York and would come at his expense:
cept the offer of DR.. Cook to pay
his expenses because of the fact that
If he did II would be an easy think
for the public to say, should his
statement be favorable to Cook. that
he was under obligation to the ex-
plorer. He declares that he will pay
his own expenses and be absolutely
independent. 80 that there can be no
cause for suspicion regarding his

wait for an answer. but
ran to the poultry yard To find ou;
for himself. The high bred white
Leghorns were there in all their gior"
and they looked So well that Mr..
Thompson found time to ask another
question. How are the horses" said
he And he trotted to the stable to
look at the colts. When he had sat
isfied himself that they were all right
he was reconciled. he concluded that
he had had good time. But during
the weeks that MIR. Thompson had
been absent he had worried about the
chickens and the colts so that he had
failed to enjoy his vacation to the full
extent. In Minnesota and Wisconsin
the whitefish didn't taste just as they
should because of the worry. In Bos-
ton the mackerel was a little off fla
var on account Of the worry. In New
Brunswick the herring fell short of
the anticipated by reason nf the very

cause OF the worry was all removed
and he was satisfied that everything
was all right there broke over his face
seraphic smile and in that moment
he enjoyed to the very limit. In mem
ory, the entire journey; into that min
ute was crowded in celestial blend the
flavor of the whitefish. the mackerci

lar unused and let the heavenly flavor
Of the whole gamut Of fish tickle his
palate. Then he came back To earth
and talked nationally. Gradually dur
ing the day his friends learned that
he had had good time and that he
was glad TO get back home and find
things In such good condition. When
he was able to understand them his
friends gave him assurance that they
were glad To see him back. Then he
went to fhe store and took up the
routine work as If he had been gone
