cans in the state who seem to know a
little about the character of Mr..

John w. jackson, the Columbia
Postmaster was interviewed by q Her
aid reporter Thursday morning and was
quite free with his talk in regard to
the character and life of Mr.. Joseph.
Mr.. Jackson has known Joseph since
his service as deputy collector under
Col. D. A. Num- about twenty-three
years ago. In speaking of the matter
this morning, MIR. jackson said in
part as follows:
81 have known "Mawd" Joseph for
nearly twenty-five years, he has been
connected with the revenue service
off and on during that time. He was
deputy collector under Col. .. A.
Num-, together with &. A. NorVeII, of
SheIbyville, and during that time il
was reported that there was some
wild cat brandy hid away in a hill in
Marshall county. NorveII and Joseph
we're sent out on the case and they
came to me and asked me to take
them and show them the hill, rather
NorveII came to me and did the ask
ing, as Joseph was drunk and stayed
drunk all that night.
81 took them to the place and all
night long NorveII searched for the
brandy, but with Joseph in his drunk
en- condition he could not accomplish
anything and abandoned the search.
"NorveIl reported Joseph's actions
and conduct to Num- and Num- began

the fellow, as | knew if made state {
nent which would corroborate that of {
NoveIl, he (Joseph) would lose his
Job, and this | did not want to cause
1inl to do.
The Investigations ceased and t
1othIng more was ever thought of it, q
'ut since that time while Joseph has c
'een in the service, he has only been e
tool in the hands of others. This v
whence could be brought out by a
borough and rigid Investigation. His n
ctions against Sharp, | believe, are
discredit Sharp as much as possible
his Investigations. IL
I'm conversation with Sharp not ,

Joseph on his head desk, and that IL

Nine thousand nine hundred and fifty
girls out Of every ten thousand are sac

cording to Katharine Eggleston in Wo-
mans Home Companion for July Out
Of every ten thousand girls who enter
our primary schools, only fifty 60 to

thousand nine hundred and fifty who viii

For example, says Miss Egglsstons
Helen's school has NOT made work

IDEAS firmly implanted in her brain.
First, education offers a sure escape from
domestic work, which is OF all work the
most menial Second, Che woman who
has an income Of her own IS more indie
pendent than the woman who makes a
hoe for a man who provides the income,
therefore she is to be emulated Third,
the simplest method Of acquiring ones
own income is to seek work in the
commercial or industrial world.

Taft " Roosevelt.

An interesting story told by *" in
the July American Magazine illustrates
most extraordinarily the difference be.
tween the minds and methods Of the
president Of the United States and his
predecessor. The story IS as follows
Tn the western states the federal
government owned immense tracts Of
land under which there were deposits
OF coal These lands were being seized
upon, not by settlers or small owners,
as the law provides, but BY railroad
and other great corporations. Roose-
welt withdrew from entry 6s,000 900
acres Of these lands. No specific au-
thority was anywhere given in the law
under which the president could with
draw public coal lands from entry. But,
on the other hand, there was no ex-
press prohibition Of such action Acting,
then. under the general power given him
under the constitution to recommend
legislation 10 Congress, he withdrew the
lands, and sent special message ask
ing that Congress legslate to protect
the public interests. But Congress
would would not actor did not act.
Indeed, the representatives Of the great
railroad corporations, which had already
seized thousands Of acres of the lands
and wanted more, were on hand to pre-
vent legislation. And they succeeded.
Looking for some other means Of
safeguarding the peoples interests, the
lawyers Of the Roosevelt administration
discovered provision IN the existing
law which said that coal lands within
fifteen miles Of a railroad were to be
sold 1T not less than $40 an acre. The
United States land Office, like most Of,
fetal departments, had always given
every advantage to the private business
man as against the government interest
and had sold the land at the minimum
price Of 500 But the law said not less
than $50. Here was the opportunity
for tie lawyer Of the people The lands
were still withheld from entry; the
geological survey was instructed 10 ex.
anime the lands and make prices on
them in some measure according to
their real value This was done and
the land is now valued all the way up
I'd 1915 an acre instead Of $50 and
all land not having coal deposits Is be-
ing turned back into the public domain
for regular entry Moreover, thousands
OF acres seized BY the railroads have
been restored to the government, and
in one case damages AS high AS S1,275|
an acre have been paid to the govern
ment for the coal already mined. I'm
der the old system this coal land, worth
S1 ,275 an acre, would have been sold
at $40.
Whenever a question comes up for
decision, the ordinary government Off
eial looks in his law hook and If he
cannot find an express authorization IN
definite words he win not stir.
I can't find il in the law he says,
Therefore, it cannot be.
Roosevelt burst asunder such swath-
ihgs Of timid iegalism. He took ust
The opposite position, that new stu
atoms which threaten the peoples in
terests required immediate action on
the part Of the executive. and he pro-
eeeded TO exercise his power in any case
whore the statues did not expressly pro-
hibit his action"
