meet this demand by the establishment
of it's new course in agricultural
education which opens this fall under
the direction of Prof. A. v. Storm. 1t

and satisfy the demand on the insti-
tuition.

He Cured the Hay Fever.

An East End man with bad case
of hay fever had heard that sojourn
in a beer cellar or a packing house
refrigerator, would relieve the dis
tressing ma1ady. He had no entree to
beer cellars and all the packing
houses were too far away.
So he went into the pantry, and
after removing the eatables from the
upper portion of the ice box, put his
head into close conjunction with
80 pound lump of ice. In this man
ner he hoped to freeze out the annoy
ing germs.

In assuring the public that DR.. Wiley will

ting in hole, the President plunged in head
foremost he denied that he had used Federal
patronage to coerce the Insurgent Republicans,
seeming to forget that the people have the
unimpeachable evidence that he did.
To use Mr. Tafts own words: "Thev have
charged me with using patronage to accom-
phsh something. If I have am not conscious
of it,
Mr.. Taft seems to have forgotten that it
was only short time ago that the papers
were full of news about the breach between
the President and Senators LaFollette, Cum

known fact that the President was withhold
ing the Federal patronage from these gentle
men IN their states, because they would not
support the Administration measures
1t was a fact we'll know to the public that
the breach between the President and the In
surgents was so wide that not only political
relations were broken off, but personal rela-
tons as we'll, and it is we'll known fact that
the personal relations between the President
and some Of these gentlemen is still strained.
But outside of this Mr. Taft must face the
fact that he did appoint to office the enemies
of La Toilette in his state, the enemies of
Bristow in his state. the enemies Of Cummins
In his state, and the enemies of Beveridge in
his state-he must face that fact that he did

And in addition to this proof on the Pres
ldent there is the letter of his private secreta-
ry, Mr.. Norton, given out at Beverly, Mass,
the summer home of the President, on Sept.
Is, 1910 That letter reads as follows:
"While Republican Legislation pending in
Congress was opposed by certain Republicans,
the President felt it to be his duty to the
party and to the country to withhold Federal
patronage from certain Senators and Con-
gress1nen who seemed to be in opposition to
the ADMINISTRATORS efforts to carry out the
promises of the party platform.

been more useful to the men affected than the
appointments would have BEEN

believed would lead to party success. to make
certain determinations but the President has
concluded that it is his duty now to treat all
Republican congressman and Senators alike
without any distinction. He will not follow
the usual rule in Republican Congressional
districts and States, and follow the recon-
mendatlons made by Republican Congressman
and Senators of whatever shade of political
opinion, only requiring that the men recon-
mended shall be good men, the most competent
and best fitted for the particular office
While denying the use of Federal patronage
to accomplish certain things, Mr. Taft said

FOR taking this stand we have nothing but
praise for Mr.. Taft, and we hope he takes the

him send special message to Congress at the
next session making this recommendation.
1here IS one thing sure, the Southern peo-

When the late Tom Johnson started

One night there was big storm
of sleet and snow and the tracks were
almost hidden. Johnson was on the
night shift, and in the storm he drove
his car two blocks beyond curve be-
fore he realized the car was of the
tracks and slipping along on the ice.
He tried to pull the car back and
failed. Thereupon he unhitched the
horses, drove them back to the barn
and left the car where 1t was.
Next day the superintendent called
him. Here, Johnson" he said, what
do you mean by driving a car of the
track and then leaving it in the
street?"
Why" Johnson replied, suaveiy,
that's in the rules for drivers and
conductors"
