SPENT 81 800, 900 ON 3 VESSELS.
Only Used to Haul Presidents and
Their Dignity Around.


The New York World has ascer-
tanned from the records that during
the five fiscal years ending with June
30th last the United States govern
ment spent $1,465, 261.91 for the
maintenance of three naval vessels
from which, so far as naval purposes
are concerned, it received little ben
eft. The vessels are the Mayflower
Sylph and Dolphin. The first two
are known as the presidents yatchts,
and the latter is called the yacht of
the secretary of the navy. President
Taft is now using the MayfOwer dur
ing his sixty days vacation. There
is no authority in law for the use of
these vessels for other than naval
purposes, - says the World, yet all
of them have been used about half
the time in five years for pleasure
jUnkets" Col Roosevelt started the
ball rolling when he was president
by ordering the Mayfower fitted up
as a presidential yacht. He also or
dered the construction of a $4,000
gasoline launch as tender to the
presidential yacht. Later, by HIS or
der the Sylph was turned into a sec
ond presidential yacht. Then the
secretary Of the navy got busy and
put the Dolphin into commission as
his official yacht When Cleveland
was president he used sometimes to
employ one of the old lighthouse
tenders Cypress or Magnolia for a
fishing trip of a day or two; and
then the rem bIicanS got nm on their
hind legs and howled about his pri-
waite use of public property. The re-
publicans are not bowling now.

me corn from these states tOtalled
61,787, 900 bushels more than was
produced by the following northern
states:
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Kansas and Colorado.
Mr.. Calvin says he chose these north
ern states as a basis of comparison
because they more nearly than any
others approached the average yield
per acre in the United States"
These northern states, the report
says, produced nearly twice as much
corn per acre as did the cotton states
the acre yield in the north averaging
25.5 bushels, against 1914 bushels
in the south.
Mark the fact" the report adds
ct locates the weak spot in our ar
NOR. 1t tells us that we need not
increase our corn acreage one inch
What we need to do is to increase
our average yield per acre.
How this increase may be accom-
plished is then shown by figures
from the Georgia experiment sta
tons work, when an average yield
of 40.6 bushels per acre was OBJ
tanned in 1909.

Nine cotton growing states are

GOOD PLACES TO MULAToEs.
As Policy in Filling Federal Offices
Does Not Appeal to Goal Blacks

Because he is a mulatto some OF
the negroes of the District of Column
bia are objecting to the appointment
of Whitefield Mckinley as collector
of the port of Georgetown, ID. I.
One prominent negro stated that a
white man should have the appoint

when recognizing the negro race, TO
give all the good positions to mulat-
