LETTER TO
MR.. GARDNER
QUOTES LANGUAGE USED
Reiterates Former President Gave
Every Intimation of Support
ing Wisconsin Senator.

| Washington, March 25-That Col.
Roosevelt's messages to Senator LaFol-
| lette were such as TO convince the Wis
consin man that he would have Roose-
velt's support for the republican presi-
dental nomination, is the substance of
letter by Walter L. Houser to Gi son
Gardner, given out at LaFollette head
quarters as an answer to the recent
correspondence made public by Clifford
Pinchot.
"The message you say you brought
from Col. Roosevelt to Senator La Fol-
lette can be construed in no other way
than as an inducement to Senator La
Toilette to become candidate. You
say 'he (Roosevelt) said he would, in
the columns of the Outlook or other
wise, do what he could to direct atten-
ton to the work accomplished by SEN
ator La Toilette in Wisconsin. If he
had said no more, that would justify
what have said, that the message
brought by you 10 La Toilette from
Roosevelt encouraged La Toilette to be-
come candidate.
"But you said more than this. You
said that Roosevelt declared that he
could not be a candidate; that his place
in history was made; that he could not
afford to take defeat, and that who
ever made the fight was certain to be
defeated for nomination or for election
if nominated; that this was the demo-
cratic year; that La Toilette would not
be injured by defeat; that there should
be a candidate representing the pro-
gressive movement; that La Toilette
vas the logical man, and that if he de-
cided to make the fight he should an
nounce his candidacy at once.
"That Roosevelt encouraged La Fol-
not deny"
Mr.. House renewed bis charge that
the attitude of the Roosevelt forces to-
ward La Toilette changed as soon as
there became evident a widespread
growth of the progressive movement
and the possibility of Senator La Fol-
lette's nomination.
"Then big business, " said Mr.. Hous-
er, represented by Hanna, Munsey,
Perkins and others of higher and lesser
note who have always opposed La Fol-
lette, entered the contest and introduce
ed Col. Roosevelt as a candidate, and
are still actively supporting him. The
people will judge in the light of the
facts whether or not Roosevelt has kept
true faith with La Toilette or is doing
so with the real progressives of the
country"

JANUARY RAILWAY
RECEIPTS FALL OFF.

Official returns for the month of
January received by the Interstate
commerce commission up to March
A. covering about SO per cent of the
steam railway mileage Of the country,
show that the total operating revenues
for that month were S208, 1881 11S, and
the operating expenses $158, ,911, , ,4S9. In
comparison with January, 1911, this is
decrease of S2,8S6, 149 in operating
revenues and an increase of $4, 205, ,S71
In operating expenses.
Net operating revenue amounted to
$44, 23l, ,629, which is less than for jan
uary, 1911, by $7092,02O. This is an
average decrease of S34 per mile of
line for the month, or 15 per cent; and
an average decrease per mile for each
day of the month of Sill, the net op-
Grating revenues averaging 1926 per
mile, per day in January, 1912, as
compared with $737 for January 1911.
| The decrease was most serious in ihe
South, where it amounted to nineteen
and four-tenths per cent; almost as
serious in the West, where it amount
ed to seventeen and seven-tenths per
cent? in the East it was ten and seven
tenths per cent. These net operating
revenues are gross profits, out of
which must come taxes, rental, inter
est on bonds, appropriations for bet
terments, and dividends.
Taxes for January amounted to
SO, $40, 1857, an average of S42 per mile.
Thesel results for January summa-
rize for all the railways per mile of
line for the month as follows: Total
operating revenues decreased 2.8 per
cent? operating expenses incresaed 1.3
per cent; net operating revenues de-
creased Is per cent; taxes increased
Ill per cent.
The foregoing complications are
taken from the summary of revenues
and expenses of the railways for jan
uary issued by the Bureau of Hallway
Economics This summary also states
that the net operating revenue per
mile of line for January, 1911, was
per cent less than for January, 1910.
Therefore, the average net operating
revenue per mile of line for January,
1912, was over one fifth less than for
January, 1910

INDIANA BOY AUTHOR
OF HOUN' DAWG SONG.

Muncie, Ind, March 25.-Zeb Harris
author of the "Houn' Dawg" song
which has set the country by the ears,
came into Muncie from the country,
eight miles north of here, yesterday,
driving a mule to buck board in re-
sponse to phone message from the
New York American correspondent, TO
relate the circumstances of the author
ship of the famous "poem."
"There's lot of fuss made about
something that don't mount to any
thing" said Harris.
81 wrote the poem all right when
was fourteen, fifteen years ago, but
when the 'Churchman and Pastors'
Guide rejected it for publication it
took all the poetic ambition out of me.
l wrote it just to protect my hound
when I was schoolboy of fourteen. |
don't like to hear these stories saying
that the hound didn't amount to any
thing, either. He was the best rabbit
hound ever saw. see where they're
saying he was even scared of rabbit.
That's not SO. That hound wasn't
scared of anything that walked on two
legs or four. He'd chase chicken thief
as quick as he would rabbit.
"The reason 1 wrote that piece was
that the boys in Royerton, where |
was going to school, picked on me and
my dog all the time because we were
from the country. OF course Royerton
was really country itself, only about
two hundred people being there, but
the town boys thought they weresmart.
Sc every time / came to town they
started to fuss with me, make remarks
about the hound and kick him around.
81 got tired of it. tried to whip
few of the boys, but they wouldn't stay
whipped, and finally | knew either
had to do something or quit school.
$50 one night brought out my slate
from school, and when all the folk had
gone to bed | slipped into the kitchen
and lighted a coal lamp and the barn
lantern to be sure had plenty of light
and started to write.
"T ashed my teacher, Bert Needham,
if it would be all right for me to recite
a poem on visitors day at the school
instead of reading an essay, and he
said it would be if thought myself
competent.
81 was mad all through, too, when
/ wrote the verses.
"That hound was the best friend
ever had outside OF my homefolks, and
every time he come home all battered
and bruised up from the kicks of the
town boys, l swore I'd do something
! to get even.
"When recited the poem in school
/ never saw anything like such carry
in's on; the boys knew they had mis-
treated my hound, but they were pretty
good boys after all, for they cheered
me and the hound and even cheered
the schoolhouse after l got through,
and then they made me get up and say
it all over again.
Finally, Mr.. Needham, the teacher,
said he thought Ae could sing the thing
and he made up tune, and after the
scholars had heard it, all of them fell
into the chorus and screamed:
"'You gotta quit kickin' my dawg
aroun'.n

HOG RAISING IN

ern railway company. The estima-
tes of the agricultural department
show a total of 65,4l0,OOe hogs on
farms and ranges in the United States
on January l, 1912, decrease of 2lO-
600 as compared with January l, 1911.
On January /, 1912, the number of
hogs in the nine southeastern states
traversed by the lines of the Southern
railway company, with the increases
in each state, were as follow: Virginia,
$50, 600, an increase of $4,000; North
Carolina, 1, 405, ,000 an increase of 54,-
GOO; South Carolina, 797,OOO, an in
crease of $4,000; Georgia, 2,O98,O0O, an
increase of 225, 900; Florida, 954, 900, an
increase of $1,000; Alabama, 1888, 900
an increase of 114,00O; Mississippi,
1,5770O0, an increase of $4,000; Ken
tuclly, 1,724, 600, an increase of $4,000;
and Tennessee 1,574, 900 an increase of
70, GOO. The total number of hogs in
the nine states on January l, this
year, was 1882, 900, an increase ov-
er January lst, last year, of 887, 900.
Large as the figures are they do not
measure the full progress of the south
east as hog-raising section, for, with
the more extended raising of pure
bred hogs, there is a corresponding
advance in the average quality and
weight of southeastern hogs.
