Representative Dickson, of Mississippi,
is doing everything in his power to in
duce the soil survey officials of the
Department of Agriculture TO have a.
survey made without delay of the soil
of Adams county. That county is
across the river from the Louisiana
district represented by Representative
Ransdell. BY reason of it's proximity
to Louisiana it was one of the first to
receive the attack of the army of we'-
wills. 1t is one of the first sufferers.
1T is absolutely necessary that the
farmers of my district be advied with
as little delay as possible what crops
other than cotton their lands will
Make said Mr. Dickson. They must
| devote some Of their land to other
crops. The transition period, at any
time and in any circumstances, is one
of danger and expense. We should
be advised with as little delay as is
commensurate with good work what
our lands will produce.
There are as many varieties af
soil in the nine counties composing
my district as any like area in the
country Presumably we can grow
almost anything. Perhaps not wheat,
because there is little or no lime in
most of it,"
Mr.. DicksOn's attention was directed
to Mr. Ransdells letter about hog
growing, published in the Times-Dem-
Ocrat.
"That is a good suggestion said
he, but not all of us can grow corn
and raise hogs. Many of us don't
know whether we can grow corn. This

This Was Brought Out in an Ad

charged that the use of imitation jams
and jellies, of low grade flours, Of
meats which do not command gooi
prices, of imitation syrups and flaw
oring extracts, of oleomargarine, etc,
in public charitable institutions had
been extensive and continuous.

ton is concerned" said Dr.. Wiley, 1t

open o.e. In other words, it does not
appear nat there is any obligation
.-sun" mon the public authorities Jc
purchase the highest grades o. the ar

mentioned. But there is another as

importance, and that is, that the in

be required and expected to eat filthy

| description, or those which have been
deprecated in character by any meth

to which substances of doubtful whole

Spreckels. millionaire, banker and re-
former. whose name has been bIazed
into the record of every days pro
ceedings since the trial of Patrick
Calhoun commenced over five months
ago, had his innings in court today.
Through a cross examination, replete
with singing references and insinua-
lions, he sat absolutely undisturbed,
disclosing the innermost secrets of the
graft prosecution. reciting the sub
|stantial payments he has made to its
officers and agents and disclaiming
utterly the motives imputed to him
by Attorney Earl Rogers, who con
Quoted the inquiry.
The bitter alterations that have all
ways followed the injection of Mr.,
Spreckels' name into the trial had
prepared a crowded court room for a
succession of angry disputes between
the opposing attorneys. but the exami-
nation was practically concluded with
no breach of decorum but a few brief
exchanges. Assistant District Attor-
nrv Honey. who had repeatedly prom
ised to permit the widest possible
scope in cross examination. offered
scarcely a dozen objections through
out the day and the inquiry 500 after
it was instituted developed into a duel
of wits between the witness and his
interrogation. A dozen times during
the day Mr.. Spreckels took exception
TO q statement included in one Of Mr.
Rogers questions and fatty declared
that the utterancc was untrue. ON
several occasions when Mr.. Honey at
tempted to interfere the witness vol
unteered to reply and finished his an
swer without regard to the protests OF
the prosecution.
Late in the day the cross examine
ton came to a temporary stop and Mr.
Spreckels was excused until tomor-
row with the understanding that he

president Taft made no mistake
when he selected Richard e. Sloan for
governor of Arizona" observed L. G.
Williams, of Williams. Aria.. formerly
a democratic member Of the Arizona
| territorial legislature.
Governor Sloan is one OF the most
accomplished lawyers and ~iurists in
this country" continued Mr.. viii
liams. II know that is SAYING a great
deal, but it is true. He has given
judicial opinions that will rank with
any given by any jurist in this coun-
try. not excepting the members of the
United States supreme court.
Recently | met James Hamilton
Lewis, Of Chicago, IA former member
Of congress. and he told me of an IN
cidcnt which proves what have sad.
Mr.. Lewis was Ounsc in a case in
volving a large bono issue. and in
hunting for ~precedcnts, he could find
only two, he said, that were applicable
to his case. one of them was a de-
cision by Judge sloan, who at the time
Of giving II, was Comparatively OBJ
scurc as q iurist. Mr.. Lewis told me
that he a%pologizcd to the court when
offering the opinion in support of his
case, but Judge GrOsscup before whom
the case was argued, took the opinion.
and. after reading it carefully, gave
a decision in favor Of Mr.. Lewis eli
.ents, basing his decision on that of
Judge Sloan and declaring at the time
that it was one of the most able le-
gal opinions he had ever read.
The selection of Judge Sloan for
governor was a happy solution of the
situation in Arizona. He will give the
territory a good administration; that
is certain. If the territory should be
to statehood mt the next ses-
sion of congress, it is not at all i'm
probable that Governor Sloan will be
selected as one Of the United States
senator's. though it is more than prob
that the legislature will be dem
ocratic, for the present body Is over
democratic.
There is hardly any doubt that
Smith. former delegate in con-
gress. will be chosen a United States
when Arizona is admitted. He
would not have been defeated in the
asst election had he not neglected his
interests in his anxiety to help
llons the national ticket"

DEATH Of NOTED
WRITER
Passing of George Meredith
Brings Tributes Of Affection
ate Regard from Press and
Public,


iBy Morning journal Special Leased Wircl
London, May 1S,-The British pub
lie and press are making ample atone
ment on the death of the foremost
English novelist for any neglect he
suffered during his lifetime. Not
even the death of Swinburne called
out such warm tributes Of admiration
as that Of Meredith.
The body lies in a simple bed room
of the modest cottage at Box Hin.
which had been his home for the
past 40 years. In the folded arms is
a garland of roses, the gift Of his two
grand=dauGhtcrs. while on either sid
of the narrow bed are sprigs of white
verbcna ana other favorite flowers
from the garden ana hillside hat he
loved, placed there by his daughter.
Tho novelist was conscious practi-
cally until the end.
After seeing Sir Thomas Barlow,
the great English physician who was
into consultation, he remarked,
II am afraid Sir Thomas thinks very
badly of my case"
In regard to the rumors that Mr..
Meredith had been engaged on a
work for posthumous publication. his
daughter, Mrs. Sturgis, said this was
the case, She believes that he
left no manuscript Of any Importance
given UP writing during the
last decade. She admits that he felt
keenly the long public neglect of his
writings. He forgave, but never for
