In the Al days that Mr.. Taft has been
on the road he has made according to
the official stenographers, more than $50
speeches and has discussed all sorts OF
subjects. Most Of the speeches have been
short. not more than 300 or 400 words in
length each. but there have been more
than a score of set addresses that have
reached length of $500 or 5000 words
The tariff, the vetoes of the wooden.
farmers free list and cotton bills. the
tariff board and its composition, the re-
lation of government to business, reci-
procity-in the early stages of the trip

main topics that the president has used,
but on many occasions he has turned TO
farming. TO the operations OF the govern
ment departments, conservation, the pub
lie domain and other questions in the
public eye. Mr.. Taft has spoken to all
sorts of crowds. Some OF them have run
over the 10000 mark; others have been
closer to 100. Through il all the president
has kept in fine voice, and only once or
twice has IT become even husky

as the origin OF the song, though the
latter has often been disputed. Popu-
lar misconceptions concerning the word
Dixie" have been numerous. It was
thought by some to have originated from
the word dix" meaning 10, which
appeared on the bills OF French banks
In New Orleans. leading them to be
known as "Dixies.' a synonym for
plenty. Others thought 1t had some re-
lation to the name OF the engineer Dixon
who helped lay out Mason and Dix
on's popular line OF demarcation be-
tween the north and south.
There is a persistent tradition which
stands for want of better, that the
word originated from the name of a
resident of Manhattan, who owned
slaves, but owing to hostile public opin-
ion was Obliged TO send them south,
where they had fewer comforts, and
that therefore "Dixies" became TO
them and later to all negroes syno-
nym for place of ease and plenty.
