Executives Position on Ere Payne
TarIff Law and Reciprocity
Deplorsd.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-Summing up rea
sons for his opposition to the renomt
nation of President Taft, Senator A
b. Cummins in a signed statement
says:
my general conclusion is, therefore
that in every struggle which has taken
place since Mr.. Taft became president
upon vital things. his allies and sup
porters have been tho senators and
members of the house, who however
honest they may be. are known from
one border Of the country to the Other
as reactionaries or standpatters and
not progressives.
IF the voters Of the Republican
party believe that the old leadership
would be perpetuated they can find no
better nominee than Mr.. Taft. do
not believe 1t ought to be continued,
and therefore. without any personal
disparagement of the president, am
hoping that q progressive Republican
will be nominated and elected next
year."
His reasons for this conclusion fol-
lows:
Reasons for Opposition.
1T is to be understood that my OPP
position to the denomination of TAFT
Is based solely upon his attitude to.
ward public questions and my convic-
ton that the convention ought to nom
mate a candidate for president who
will be strongest in the election.
II have no other than the most
friendly feeling for the president.
With these preliminary and explana-
tory suggestions present my bill OF
particulars. It will be conceded. sup
pose, that President Taft's alignment
must be defined chiefly:
Il. BY his position upon the Payne.
Aldrich tariff law.
"2. BY his position upon the bill
for the further regulation Of interstate
common carriers = brought forward
about the first Of the year 1910.
'3. BY his position upon the change
made in the postal savings law. just az
1t was being passed in the senate.
II. BY his position upon the pro-
posed income tax law which was
sought to be incorporated into the
Payne-Aldrich tariff act.
so. BY his attitude toward the con
troll and disposition Of our public do
main.
IS. BY his position on the Canadian
tariff bill passed at the extra session
Just closed.
'7. BY his work for the peace
treaties.
"s. By his vetoes Of the wooden
schedules, the free list and the reso.
luton admitting New Mexico and Arr
zoAa as states.

Union leaders said that more will go

WHEN JACKSON LAUGHED.

The Baltimore Sun is printing a Sc
ries of articles designed TO recall the
occasions when the usually sombre
Stonewall jackson laughed. These
articles, in view of the revival of in
terest IN Jackson due to Miss John
ston's book, The Long Roll" are
particularly attractive at this time.
Below are some recollectiOns fur
nished the Sun by Colonel E. y. Craig
hill. of Lynch burg:
l was much interested in a com
municatiOn in The Sun yesterday sign
ed H" telling of an incident where
Stonewall Jackson laughed heartily"
The incident is very chara cteristic OF
General Jackson, but he certainly was
not a man given to laughing. 1 was at
his headquarters nearly every day for
months and l rarely saw him smile.
and saw him laugh but once, and that
was at something that would have
amused a child, but hardly a serious,
sober man such as Jackson surely
was.
After the first battle of Manassas
the Stonewan Brigade was camped be-
Yond and not far from CenterVille;
if I am not mistaken, in Fairfax
county. One evening a member of
his staff, Major Paxton, afterward
General Paxton. was amusing some of
his friends in front of headquarters
with a bucking, kicking horse. The
horse kicked up his heels, reared and
plunged, behaving very badly. So far
as ] knew "Old Jack as he was called
by the soldiers behind his back, was
not noticing what was going on; but
he was. and when the horse would
kick or buck he would laugh as heart
lily and merrily as a child.
jackson in the army was not a So
cia BILE man. He seemed to prefer his
own company to anyone else's, never
entering into conversation, and ii is
doubtful if he ever INDUCED in light
talk in his life. His mind seemed al
ways occupied with weighty matters.
He rarely spoke TO anyone unless ne
had something to communicate, Vet
if anyone had business with him he
was always patient to hear. cOur-
teOus and gentlemanly. but with no
disposition apparently to prOiouS 4
conversation when he was thrOCSA
with the business. He would st for
hours by himself with his eyes closed.
maybe praying, but he seemed 20 be
asleep. lie attended preaching with
the prOfOundeSt reverence and re
spect at every opportunity. but when
Captain PendletOn, afterWard Gen
eral PendletOn. would commence his
sermon Jackson always sat upright,
as stiff as If he had a ramrod down
his back, with folded arms and closed
eyes, seemingly sound asleep. lie
might not have been, and l have ma ny
times wondered since If he was not
then working out in his wonderful
brain some of those strategic marVels
that afterward made him famous AL
the world over.
So far as 1 know, there is no record
anywhere that the Saviour OF thc
world ever smiled. He was never
known to laugh. He was a man OF
sorrow, acquainted with grief" He
was Jackson's model, and 1 have SC
many times thought OF this. knowing
as 1 do that Jackson rarely ever
smiled, and did not seem to know
when or how to laugh.

Matbematic. md Fertilizer.

They have an arithmetic of their own
in Page county, Iowa. according to a
recent article in Success Magazine. In
1t are problems Of the farm, and not
of the counting room. IF in the top
soil of your field there Is phosphorus
to the weight OF 2,1OO pounds, and a
crop of corn takes of ten pounds. how
many crops OF corn can be grown be-
fore the soil becomes exhausted? How
much is this phosphorus worth at the
present market price of phosphateS =?
What would il cost you per acre TO keep
the phosphorus content OF the land up
to its present richness, at the present
price OF phosphates?
IF crop OF clover. through the bac-
terra in its roots. adds nitrates 10 the
soil to the value OF $40 per acre. what
is the real value of q clover crop, If
fed TO cows, and percentage of the
fertility OF the clover returned in the
manure, assuming that the COW Will
produce Y butter, and it sells for 2
pound? II a hen of a good laying
breed will lay 200 eggs a year. and a
scrub hen will lay 100, and il takes the
market price Of seven dozen eggs to
of the pure laying strain will IL take to
be worth flock of 100 scrubs? Make
an inventory of your farm property"
Now when the pupils OF the Page
county schools began bringing sums
of this sort home to work, Page county
farmers began TO prick up their ears.
There was some sense in this. This
wasn't any new-fangled useless folde-
rol. This made the boys and girls
worth more on the farm. And it made
'em more contented too by gum
