DeploreS Criticism In House
of His Dixie Travel
ing Expenses.
HOUSE DISCUSSION
PAINS PRESIDENT
Letter Written to Tawney Will Be
Read By Representative Bart
lett This Afternoon.

Regulating the attitude taken by
Representative Tawney yesterday in
the discussion IN the House Of the IS, 90
appropriation for the President s travel
ing expenses, President Taft today IN q
public letter TO Tawney. deplored the in
cidenL and said that there was no
foundation for the charge made by Taw-
ney that somewhere in the South the
President was charged for his board.
The President complimented the hospi-
tality Of the South. and said that any
criticism Of that section deeply grieved
him
The letter made public at the White
House today reads as follows:
The Presidents Letter.
My Dear Mr.. Tawney--I am deeply
6rieved over the phase which the dis
Cussion OF the appropriation for the
travelling expenses Of the President
took yesterday. ] think IL is a legitt-
mate argument IN favor OF such an
appropriation that Congressman and
many others press the acceptance OF
invitations TO visit their sections and
districts, because the urgency OF such
requests indicate the opinion on the
part OF the people that one Of the du-
ties OF the President IS 10 visit the
people in their homes.
but the IntimatiOn or suggestion
that the acceptance by Congressman
OF the Presidents invitation 10 travel
on the train with him in their respec-
tive districts or States was a reason
why they should not vote their free
opinion on the question Of such an
appropriation is 20 me a painful one
In travelling upon the train. they
were not receiving my hOspitality-they
we're only making a little more elaborate
the cordial welcome which they, as rep
resentatives oI their Districts wished
10 give.
Reflection on South Absurd.
The feature Of the discussion yester-
day, which was especially distressing 10
me was a suggested reflection on South
ern hospitality. The intimation that
somewhere in the South board was
charged. has no foundation in fact. and
] never heard IL intlmated until ! saw
Il n this mornings papers
In all my experience. and I have en-
joyed the hospitality Of many sections
and countries of the world. I never had
a more cordial. generous, open and
lavish welcome than I had IN the South
ern States during my trip, and the
slightest hint that put me in the at
titude of a critic OF that hospitality
gives me great pain.
I am going 10 take the liberty OF
making this letter 70 you public.

The Hand Kiss.

The kiss of the hand is undoubtedly
ancient and therefore is not derived
from that of the lips. but probably the
converse is true. The hand kiss is
loosely asserted to be developed from
servile obeisances in which the earth.
the foot and the garments were kiss
ed, the hand aud cheek succeeding in
order of time and approach to equality
of rank. But it is doubtful if that
was the actual order. and it is certain
that at the time when hand kissing
began there were less numerous grada-
tons of rank than at later stage.
kissing of the hands between men
is mentioned in the Old Testament;
also by Homer. Pliny and Lucian The
kiss was applied reverentially to sacred
objects. such as statues of the gods. as
is shown by ancient works of art. and
also among numerous etymologieS by
that of the Latin word adore and il
was also metaphorically applied by
the inferior or worshiper kissing his
own hand and throwing the salute to
the superior or statue.

will give larger returns for the land

be used to good advantage as eaten

They also enable more stock to be kept

otherwise
One Of the best forage crops is rape.
1t yields heavy crops of excellent feed.
1t is especially valuable for hogs and
sheep. They make excellent gains on
rape. particularly if a little grain is
given in addition. Rape should be
sown in he spring at the rate of about
four pounds to the acre broadcaSted

The seed bed should be we'll prepared.
The greatest amount of feed per acre

FIG. AI.-HOGS In RAPE FIELD.
acre are used when sown broadcast or
half as much when drilled. 1t can be
sown with grain drill by stopping up
every other hole. The Saccharine va
rieties make the best feed. If all the
sorghum is not used as green feed it
can be cut and shocked for winter use.
1t will have to be left in the field until
needed for feeding. as it spoils when
stacked.
A Good Forage Crop.
Indian corn makes good forage if
sown thickly enough. The largest
planter plates should be used, together
with the fastest drill attachment, as
thick planting makes small and tender
stalks. Corn which has we'll devel-
oped ears is often used as a combined
grain and forage crop for 'hogging
down." The hogs are turned into the
field in the fall and left until ready
for market A few shotes turned in
later will clean up all the corn which
the fat hogs have missed. Lambs get
a great deal of feed out of the corn
field in the fall especially if rape has
been sown at the last cultivation. and
do little damage to the corn.
Excellent fall feed can be obtained
by sowing rape or a mixture of rape
and clover with the small grain in the
spring. If there is moisture enough
in the ground after the grain crop is
removed a splendid crop Of fall forage
will be available in three or four
weeks Often the fall feed is worth
more than the grain.
An excellent forage crop for pigs is
Canada field peas. They should be
sOwn in the spring at the rate of one
half bushel to the acre. together with
two bushels of oats. If sown alone
the rate of seeding should be two
bushels to the acre The hogs may be
turned on when the peas are in the
dough stage. In the southern parts
of the United States cowpeas and soy
beans may be used in the same way.
Millet yields heavily and makes
good quality of hay. 1t is also used
occasionally as a green feed Millet
is a dangerous feed for horses, but
may be fed to other classes of stock
with safety.
Succulent Crops For Winter.
While not strictly forage crops. root
crops, pumpkins and sQuashes answer
the same purpose. Sugar beets, man.
gels and turnips yield heavily. but re-
quire considerable attention during
the growing season. Carrots are es-
pecially good as horse feed. Squashes
yield as many tons of dry matter to
the acre as roots. are Just as good
feed and are much more easily grown.
Pumpkins can be grown in large guam
titles in the cornfields with little ex-
ira labor.

More Than Both Opponents.

Lansing, August 9.-The Detroit
Saturday Nights poll of the Repub-
lican editors of the state on the gov
ernorship showing Osborn with 81
more votes than Kelley and Mussel-
man combined has cast dark polit-
ical cloud over the state house en-
ployes, who are trying to- remain
loyal to Mr.. Kelley, the adminstra-
tion candidate.
For ten days past the state house
crowd has been unusually nervous
over reports from home relative to
the growth of Osborn sentiment out
in the state. His remarkable cam
paign touching practically every COM
munity in the state and his vigorous
yet dignified recital of the present
political conditions in Michigan is
winning him friends at every STOP
The state house employees are splen-
did barometers of public sentiment
rejecting as they do the feeling in
practically every section of the state.
Up to ten days ago they could see
nothing to the govership, but Mr..
Kelley and their anxiety, which is
growing, is the best evidence that
the more recent reports from home
have been very discouraging from
an administration standpoint. Some
of the older politicians in the build
ing are putting on good front and
insisting the machine has always
pulled through and can do the trick
again. but fully seventy-five per cent
Of the attaches of the administration
are beginning to appreciate the bur,
den Mr.. Kelley is carrying in the
presents campaign. The effort to con-
fuse the voters by telling them the
north country is not entitled to the
governorship is not being received
with the acclaim the Kelley camp
thought 1t would, the real issue of
the arnerism-holding the
of the voters. The alleged
political divorce between Warner
and Mr.. Kelley has been so thor
oughly exposed that even Mr.. Kelley
In his recent speeches has omitted

AS primary day draws near. and 1t i

AS primary day draws near. and 1t is
not very far off now. stern determin-
alton can be seen on the part of large
majority Of voters to select the very
best material possible for the positions
of county officers. They are looking mp
the candidates' records and personal
and business ability for the positions
they are seeking. This pleases the
voters of Perry township who are be-
hind the candidacy of T. s. Martin for
sheriff. They desire to haye his record
and business ability canyassed from
every point of view, well knowing that
1t cannot, but reflect credit on him.
They know that man who has the abil-
ity to build up successful business for
himself, and does not depend on Office
holding for living will make the best
possible kind of an official; that a man
who is always the same, at home and
abroad, always having his wits about
him and ready for business at any min
ute, is a man to be trusted with tho
public's business = hence the warm
support they are giving lite.
Another thing the votors are consid-
ering as the primary election comes
along, is the patronage or Offices that has
fallen to the share Of the neighboring
townships while old Perry was left en-.
tirely out In the cold, not having been
considered in the makeup of the county
ticket in the past 80 years. Take Shia-
wassee township for instance: she has
furnished the member of the state legis-
lature for the past five or six terms;
now has the sheriff, under sheriff, reg
lister of deeds, and had deputy sheriff
and truant officer for something over
two years. Pretty good picking for one
township. Still they want more They
have two candidates for sheriff, a candi-
date for the legislature as we'll as one
for register of deeds. Surely it is about
time Shiawassee township took back
seat and made room at the pie counter
for some of their neighbors. Perry
township wants look in, and for this
reason is backing and asking support
for T. S. Martin, of Morrice. Other
townships, believing in fair division
are asked to rally to his support, and
many votors are going to do so. He is
the logical candidate for sheriff. Re-
member this on Sept 9th. - Morrlce
Blade.
The Blade is somewhat mistaken as
to Shiawassee township. The town
ship cannot be charged with the Office
Of register of deeds, Mr.. Cole the pres
emit popular occupant of that Office, be-
ing resident of Antrim township. We
have no doubt, however, that Shia-
wassee township citizens would not ord.
inarily object to Mr.. Cole being classed
as one of their number.
