Its Own Trumpet.
Will an admins. -ation stand strong
er before the country IL every achieve
ment is thoroughly and forcefulIy ad
vertised when 1t becomes q fact and
that advertising is kept up from In
auguration to election, or do the
American people prefer to do their
own thinking, only to be reminded OF
the achievements Of their public serv'
ants when campaign Is approaching?
This is one of the questions friends
Of President Taft are seriously asking
themselves. Those who have taken
occasion recently to examine the rec
ords Of this administration are them
selves surprised to discover how much
has been accomplished aud how ltttls
has been said about it.
or course, in the campaign, tLt
record will figure largely in the Re
publican textbook and proclaimed
from the stump, but has not the Taft
administration suffered because it has
proceeded so quietly and blown its
own trumpet SO little?

A Bumper Corn Crop

According to the November re-
port of the Department OF Agricul
ture, issued recently, the country
establishes the record OF having
grown the largest cora crop that
any country in the world ever pro
duced. This report completed the
governments preliminary estimate
of the nations farm crops. and gave
the corn crop as 3, 100, 1877 900 bush
els. This marks the year as most
remarkable one from the standpoint
OF agricultural production.
The crop of corn was worth on
November to farmers 81. $50. ZIG.
COO. The enormous sum Of 81. III,
134, 900 represented the farm value
on November first OF the United
States crop of corn, hay, wheat, oats,
potatoes, barley. fax seed, rye and
buckwheat. With the value of grow
ing cotton crop and the crops OF to-
bacco, rice and apples, the aggre-
gate value of these principal farm
produ will amount to we'll beyond
SIS. 1000. 600. 900.

THE FRANKING GRAFT
Members of Cor gress Greatly Abuse
This Privilege

The recent report OF the Postmast-
er General showing that the frapked
mail OF the recent campaign turned
the comfortable profit OF the prev
ious year into deficit OF 81, 78l. 600
Tor the last current year, calls at
tention to an excellent opportunity
for the incoming Democratic admin
istrstion to effect several important
savings. There is no doubt that
the ranking privilege is badly
abused and that the abuse will in
crease with the establishment OF the
parcels post. 1t was recently told
OF one Congressman that be frank
ed his soiled clothes to his home to
be Numbered. But in the matter Of
campaign literature and other print
ed matter the loss is not only in the
nail but also in the tremendous
waste in printing. Millions OF dol
lars are spent annually for the
printing and postage on reports.
speeches, etc. which are never read
and which serve no useful purpose.
In fact. documents of this nature
which it costs hundreds OF thous.
ands of dollars to produce are de
~troyed annually without being
taken from the government printing
office.
Another reform along the same
inc which could be accomplished to
the saving of millions of dollars
without working serious injury to
any one would be in abolishing the
free seed distribution. The purpose
which it is supposed to fill OF i'm.
proving agriculture is nothing less
than farce. The packages are too
small aud most frequently of too in
ferior quality to be of any practical
value and if they were it is not the
proper function OF the government
to supply free seed. The farmers
would far rather take their money
and buy dependable seed AMI let the
stupendous cost of these unappre-
ciated gifts apply upon the reduct-
ion OF their taxes.

Glad Time for Dixie Under the New
Administration

What a right glorious time Dixie
land is going to have 10 the next
Congress- In the present Demo
cratic House she holds forty out Of
the fifty six committee chairman
ships. The South will be even more
dominant in the next House. And
now that the Senate also seems com
ing into Democratic hands, the
South will, for the first time since
the days OF James Buchanan, be in
practical control of the machinery
of our government.
With son of old Virginia soon in
the White House, a Confederate
Democrat as Chief Justice OF the
Supreme Court, and all these COM
mittee chairmanships in their hands
Dixie should no longer feel that she
has no share in the government
Americans have lived to see the day
when the State that fired on Sumter
has taken the place of power that
has been so long held by the State
that lost the first soldier who died
in the defense OF the Union. Maybe
it is all for the best. Nothing is to
be gained by erumbling about fate.
Bot it is interesting to have lived
through all these years till the time
when the voice Of South Carolina
carries greater weight in the mana
cement OF this Federal Union than
that of Massachusetts or of all New
England combined. - Manchest ter

PITH OF THE ALLEN MATTER
Negligence of the Court Officers Was
Responsible

A subscriber, through the med
ium CT a written communication. puts
this question to US:
Gould not the lawyers for tho
Aliens charge the court officials of
Carroll county with criminal neglig-
ence for allowing all parties to come
into court fully armed? 1t seems
TO me that had the officers done
their duty in the irstplace-thatis is.
at the first trial of Floyd Allen-ali
this trouble. loss OF life and expense
to the State would have been avoid
ed"
This question, brief as it is, con-
tains the pith and marrow of all the
arguments aud controversies con-
corning the Carroll county gunner.
And more than anything else, il
furnishes ground for the contentious
of those who maintain that the court
officials were almost as much t.
blame for the Hillsville shooting a.
those now in the custody OF the law
We are not among those who ge
so far as to say there was a cor
Spiracy 90 the part of the Carroll
officials to shoot up the Aliens, ano
we admit the legal right Of most o;
the officials to carry pistols. Noi
was the failure of the sheriff and
others to search the clansmen in the
belief that they carried concealed
weapons criminal negligence in the
eyes of the statutes.
But in view OF every thing that had
occurred AID was about 10 occur, il
was a marvellous lack OF prudence
that to many will require volumes
of explanation.
And the explanation would come
much easier if the evidence at all Of
the trials, which thus far have taken
place, bad not revealed the fact
that every official save Judge Mas
sic went armed into the court room
armed with the best and most
modern type Of firearms and seem
inRlv prepared for heavy gun play.
And until the court officials fully
explain this dereliction on their part
their position must necessarily be a
more or less invidious one.- Rich

DISPUTED POINTS IN
GEN. JACKS0N'S LIFE
Address Before Phi Beta Kappa by
DR.. P. Smith

Dr. James Power Smith OF Rich
mond was the chief speaker at the
meeting of Phi Beta Kappa at the
College OF William and Mary in Will
iiamsburg Thursday night. The
subject OF the address was 'Disput-
ed Points in the Life OF 'Stonewal'
Jackson"
AS an aide to the great strategist.
DIR. Smith knew, as no other living
man does, the closest and most per-
sonal facts OF Jackson's life and
spoke out OF a rich and beautiful
owe. The imputations OF over-an-
oition,ot lack of humor, of awkward
ness, were all answered by DR..
Smith with point and evidence. He
bowed the great hearted, deeply
religious, sympathetic, human ma
ture of the man, and illustrated it
with mirth-provoking and delight
fully droll stories and with Incl
tents OF such heart-interest as to
bring tears to the eyes. He showed
the lack OF historic basis for the
famous Barbara Frietchie story, but
paid beautiful tribute TO Whittier.

was told him by Mrs. Southworth.

DR.. Smith declared to be true to
Jackson's humane spirit, if untrue
as to real fact. He showed the hu

as his aide, the speaker himself han

ais direction for the relief OF the
suffering people of Frederick, Md.
The story of Jackson's little

up playmate sat far into the night
hours grieving over the little friend
that he was so soon to join.
In Illustration of the great mans
sense OF humor, DR.. Smith told many
charmingly funny stories. Never,
be said, had he seen him more hilar-
iously moved than when he received
a letter addressed to Mr.. Stone
W. Jackson" which began, May
it Please Your Lordship.' 1t was
from a woman recer tly from Ireland,
who sought the release Of her hus-
Oand from the guardhouse.
