STICK TO FARM TAFT ADVICE TO YOURTH

 SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE OFF FRS SURE REWARD.
 Presidents Address at Missis- sippi state Fair Devoted to Ex- position of Advantages of Coun- try Over City Life,
 Jackson, Miss, Nov. 1. Presi- dent Taft would have the the young men of America stay on the farm with it's plenty and cer- tainty rather than decide on life in the city. Mr. Taft indicat- ed his sentiments in this respect in an address at the state fair here today.
 We must admit" he said. the occupation of the farmer is among one or two of the most in- dependent occupations that go to
 nake this country great and state which is great because of it is entitled to recognition as typi- flying Americanism in the high .st degree.
 We have arrived at a time in 5he development of this county nd the world when old methods of agriculture must be discarded
 five would keep up with the pro- :ession. Land is becoming too .aluable to treat it in the old vasteful way. 1 am glad to note Mississippi has-one of the best
 agricultural institutions in the country. Here you have been
 ble to re strain that tendency of your young men to come into cities and live in tenements, in order that they may be where the wheels go round. IfIwere advis- :ng a young man as to his future profession, 1 should say to him there probably was greater op- portunity for raalreward in the profession of agriculture than in any other. There is much to be done in the way of educating your laborers. l am glad to th- ink your large negro population is we'll adapated to the cultivation of provident methods, they may grow to be good citizens and use- ful 10 the community by acquiring land, as they have acquired it in the past. and becoming strong farmer and useful. The question of river and water transportation is being agitated in a way as never before. I am sure I speak for the whole people in saying they do not propose to be niggar- dly in either assurance of bonds or by appropriation of money to make improvements that really will be improvements in the mat ter of transportation and rates. But we have to be certain what it is we are doing and that we are not going to pour money in a water hole when we put millions info contemplated improvements.
 The president had a long but pleasant day. He lunched with Governor and Mrs. Noel and met a number of the states distingu- ished citizens. This evening the president was guest of honor at a dinner for which viands, cooks and walters were all brought on a special car from Chicago. Presi dent Taft left at midnight for Columbus, Miss, birthplace of Secretary Dickinson. Ee will spend three hours there and will reach Birmingham at 7:30 o'clock eveDinC

March 3: South Dakota. March 20; Ten
nessee March 20; Utah, March IL; Wash
ington. March II.
With the exception of Kansas. not one
of these twenty governors can attend
an Inauguration without leaving his state
during a legislative session. and the Gov
ernor of Kansas can only reach here with
the best luck in making railroad connec-
tions, leaving the state capital as soon
as the adjournment occurs. On the 4th
Of March last the governors of Della
ware and Missouri did come to Wash
ington, but at some political risk. The
governor cf Delaware was within ordina-
rily easy reach of his state capital. but
the weather conditions were such that
even he had great difficulty in reaching
his ONCE In season to be present upon
the final adjournment the next day. The
governor of Missouri was favored with a
month OF legislative session following the
Inauguration and was fortunately able to
attend.
A change of date to the last Thursday
in April would enable every state exec
utive to be present upon the occasion of
national inaugural. No plea Of i'm
perative state legislative business could
then be entered. 1t Is assured that every
presidential Inauguration would be par
ticipated in by more than half OF the state
executives. perhaps by three-fourths OF
them. The effect upon the public mind
of such an assemblage of state repre-
sentatives at the National capital would
be decidedly wholesome. Every state cit
izen would regard himself as personally
present here through the man named by
him to govern the commonwealth.
This argument should strongly appeal
to Congress as a reason for acting without
further delay upon the joint resolution to
change the date. If the President Of the
United States Is the chief of all the peo-
pie, his induction into office should be ef-
fected at a season when the official. direct
representatives of the people can be pres
ent to signify their acceptance of his
leadership, without sacrificing the inter-
ests of their states or neglecting their
duties

The Presidential Foursome.

After all, the presidential foursome on
the Washington links ended with the
winning side only one hole up, although
Mr.. Taft's partner was Mr.. Travis. the
best golfer in this country, and one of the
best in the world. Travis medal score
was "A. while the Presidents WAS some
thing under 100. the various reports DIFF
fering as to the exact figures, and no
card being placed on record. If Travis
had played with a golfer OF equal skill
the other side might have been 10 down,
or even IL. Which only proves that golf,
played in the midst OF civilization. Is q
more difficult game for statesman than
lion shooting played in the wilderness
with no authorized and visible reporters
present. AS a matter of fact, the Presi-
dent plays good golf for = President. To
be sure, after an inspiriting drive,
straight as an arrows flight, to the sup
posedly safe haven of the putting green,
he required three puts. But ~ men out
of every 100 who play golf as a relaxa-
ton from the tolls of professional life
would have done the same thing. 10
miss put is not only human. but COM
mon. TO be impeccable on the putting
green Is to be a Travis.

Governors and Inaueurations.

The Inauguration of the President is a
national event. 1t affects the entire coun-
try, appeals to the patriotic sense OF all
the people. During recent years this as
pect of the Inauguration has been en-
phasized by the presence In Washington
on such occasions of state executives
representing in their persons the common
wealths comprising the Union. At the
inauguration of President Taft sixteen
governors took part in the proceedings,
riding in the parade at the head of their
respective military delegations and add
ing greatly to the significance and the
interest of the spectacle. They symbol
lied the assemblage of the citizens of the
United States to do honor to the new
chief of state upon his accession to office
Every consideration of national pride
suggests that this representation of state
executives should be as nearly complete
as possible. But as long as the date of
the inauguration remains unchanged II
will be impossible to secure the attend
ance of all of the governors. More than
one-third of them will always be barred
from participation in the exercises in
Washington by reason of the fact that
their state duties will require their pres
ence at home at the inaugural season. In
his letter to Commissioner Macfarland on
this subject Gov Spry of Utah thus
states the case of the governors who are
held away by duty:
Il take great pleasure in stating that I
will serve on the national committee on
the proposed change of Inauguration day
and shall he pleased to cooperate In any
way possible to bring about this end. Aside
from the very good reasons for this change
as set forth in the communication which
have just received. the Inauguration cere-
monies now come at time when the at
tendance of western governors is pre-
cluded. because of the fact that state
legislatures are always in session. A
later date would make IL possible for
many representative men TO participate
in the inaugural proceedings
As the state laws now read, there are
just twenty governors who, under strict
Interpretation of their official duty, would

dates of these legislatures are as follows:

Spring Cleaning.
From the Springfield Republican.

The city housecleaning crusade which
was inspired by the women Of Washing
ton produced results that are worth hav-
ing. 1t appears that 3.7O5 vacant lots
have been cleaned, 500 private alleys put
in order and 10000 cellars, woodsheds and
back yards made tidy since the work was
inausurated last month. 1t is proposed to
make the movement something more than
a squirt. and effort will be made to pre-
serve the improved conditions throughout
the summer. The work of spring cleaning
for municipalities has spread widely
throughout the country. having first be-
come established In the west. and now
many eastern cities and towns promote
community efforts OF this sort 1t is not
only well to have what are public eye
sores done away in this fashion. but the
cleaning-up policy has its bearing upon
public health as we'll. 1t is good to see a
homely first duty of this kind being at
tackled In the organised way which makes
such betterment most effective.

The Senate Tariff Situation.

As The Star stated last week in COM
menting on the speech of Senator Clapp.
the country last November voted for a
downward revision of the tariff. The re-
publican party appeared at the polls
pledged to such action. 1t had been dl-
vided into two camps-standpatters and
revisionists. According to the standpat-
! tiers. the Dingley law should not be
! touched. They considered II still good
! for years of profit to the country. On
the other hand. the revisionists held that
some of the schedules were now too high
and should be lowered. A general over
! hauling of the law. they thought, in the
/ interest of lower duties would both serve
the people and strengthen the policy of
protection.
! The revisionsts won at Chicago, and
the tariff plank of the republican plat
form was their work. It's Interpretation
in the campaign was along the lines OF
thers contention. and the result at the
polls was a triumph for them in the ap-
peal to the people The voters. by an
Impressive majority. said yes to the prop
osition that the tariff be revised down.
ward.
The so-called insurgents in the Senate
ere battling for a redemption of the par
tvs promises. They want a downward
revision-not a lowering of duties in
every case, nor an enlargement OF the
free list in the general spirit of free
trade, but lower duties on articles which
no longer need the high duties they are
carrying There is no attack on protec-
ton as a policy. That policy is to stand
and will be the stronger for such changes
in the schedules as will bring them to
basis of fairness to consumers and pro-
ducers alike.
We are witnessing an extraordinary
spectacle. The democratic senators,
pledged by their party's platform to q
tariff for revenue only and to the putting
of specified articles on the free list, are
voting for protection. They are helping
TO load up the tariff bill with duties to
which the republican insurgents object.
But will they support the bill thus pre-
pared on its final passage? Probably not
a man of them. After securing what they
want. they will square themselves politi-
cally by voting against the measure they
have helped to shape.
The insurgents. on the other hand after
vainly endeavoring to secure the lower
duties to which they are pledged and
which their constituents are demanding
will be expected to support the bill on its
final passage Will they do 1t? II they
do they will have to answer to their con-
stituents next year. II they do not. the
bill will fail and the democratic senators
be baked Of their spoil.
Here and there the opinion is expressed
that the President will veto the bill II it
shows palpable reputation Of the Chi
cago platform. Why wait for the Presi-
dent? Why not turn the trick in the
Senate? If In 1894 David B. Hill could
have mustered half a dozen democratic
votes in the Senate in opposition to the
Germany Wilson BILL that measure would
have failed. He alone voted against it,
and Mr.. Cleveland lacking the sand to
veto it the bill became a law and the
democratic party was irreparably in
jured

Our Flag at Monrovia.
From the New York Tribune.

The appearance of the United States
flag, borne by a small cruiser Of the
United States Navy. is said to have been
hailed with rapturous delight this week
by the populace of the Liberian capital.
The circumstance is gratifying as an as
surancs OF the sentiments with which that
flag Is regarded and Of the esteem in
which the United States Is held by a dis
tant people who have too often had little
cause for thinking of us at all. Doubt
less it is to be interpreted chiefly as q
tribute to the known power of this coun-
try and to the efficiency Of its active
interest wherever 1t may be manifested in
the affairs of the world, rather than as
very direct token of gratitude or af-
lection. Liberians know that the United
States nag stands for something definite
and benehcent. and that the ship which
bears 1t is an earnest Of q fleet competent
to command for the flag abundant respect

A Floral Eete.

A floral fete for Washington is pro-
posed and there is every reason why 1t
should be a pronounced success. OF all
the cities in the world. this is eminently
suitable for such an enterprise. 1t has
the space-Potomac drive Is unsurpassed
for attractiveness-and 1t has the flowers
and 1t has the vehicles. All that is needed
to complete the combination Is the spirit
to make the project a success. The men
and women of Washington go vigorously
into other lines of community effort and
score excellent results. They can surely
organize a floral fete which will reflect
credit upon the Capital city.
In another part of The Star today is
printed an article setting forth the gen.
eral outline OF the plan and the views
Of leading citizens upon it. All are en-
thusiastic in their Endorsement Of the sug-
gestion. They recognize the propriety of
establishing May festival OF flowers as
an annual custom. to bring the people into
friendly. wholesome competition, to af
ford pleasure to great numbers, and to
emphasize the quality of Washington as
the garden city OF America.
For years the attention of citizens of
the capital has been systematically d.
rected to the opportunities here afforded
to render homes and streets attractive
with plants and flowers and vines. The
suggestion has been SO generally follow
ed that the physical appearance of the
city has been enhanced wonderfully dur.
ing the past few seasons. The school
children are planting gardens and back
yards are transformed into bowers The
Importance of the soil culture as part of
the duty of the householder has been ap.
preciated to gratifying degree.
A floral fete will give q social and spec
tacular significance to the garden work
which the children and their parents have
been conducting. It will facilitate the
movement to give the people q personal
part in the work Of making Washington
the most attractive city on this conti-
nent incidentally 1t will afford an oc-
casion for an assemblage upon the latest
addition to the Districts park system, and
thus demonstrate the benefits Of a series
of reservations for the sake Of the pub
lie health and comfort.
BY all means, therefore, a floral fete!
1t should be organized on a big scale,
with the conditions such as to enlist
the cooperation Of every citizen with q
suitable vehicle. and held with the view
or affording the greatest possible enjoy
ment to the largest number of people,
1t should, in short, be the most beautiful
and the largest floral fete ever held In this
country. Washington should have no less

Tariff Statistics.

Mr.. Carter of Montana, in the Senate
the other day. punctured sham In
very effective style when he piled his
desk high with publications dealing with
the details Of the tariff and asked how
many senators had read, marked, learn
ed and inwardly digested their contents
He got no reply worthy Of the name. As
a matter of fact. no senator had read
them Mr.. Carter was no. pretending
that he had.
Congress, we are told. is unable to
deal intelligently with the tariff ques-
tion because of a lack OF information.
1t does not know where to turn for
assistance. The most valuable facts
are near at hand. but there is nobody to
gather them. Hence the demand for a
tariff commission. whose duty it shall
be not only to gather the information,
but act on it. Take the matter out Of
the hands OF Congress. which is at once
ignorant and incompetent.
The Montana senator answers all of
this. More information has been gath
cred and printed than Congress has
time for. The mails of senators and rep-
resentatives bulge with It, II they
undertook to read II all they would have
to abandon their other duties.
Presumably. what they seek In the
mass is what they want to find. Each
man IL considering schedules of greatest
importance to his home people. and a
good argument for shaping schedules to
local interests. He does not feel him
self in commission to offer up against
their wishes the interests Of his con-
stituents on the national altar. or on any
altar. His first and controlling inquiry
is, What Is there in this for my peo-
Pile? They want their share OF what is
coming"

ton at all. On the contrary, it is super
