PERKINS, IRE IS RAISED
Denounces Story That 100000 Was
Raised for Roosevelt as Being
Without Sclntilla Of

Washington, Oct. 22.--Thomas For
tune Ryan, multi-millionaire Demo
crat, stepped into the limelight before
the Clapp campaign fund investigat-
ing committee as the most liberal in
dividual political contributor dscov-
cred to date.
Mr.. Ryan gave S450,000 to the cam
paign fund for Judge Parker in 1904.
or nearly twice the Hartman fund of
$4,000, which the committee has
probed. And of this contribution,
100000 was put up by Mr.. Ryan after
the defeat of Parker was assured, to
pay the bills of the Democratic cam
paign and to save the Democratic or
ganization from dissolution through
debt.
Gives $4,000 to Harmon.
Then Mr.. Ryan trHiled along with
minor" contributions to congression-
al campaigus--he could not remember
the Gmounts-down 70 the Democratic
pre-convenuion fight of 1912, when he
contributed between $4,000 and $780,
$4,000 to Mr.. Underwood, and would
have given To the campaign of Gov
ernor Wilson and Mr.. Clark, but was
not approached by the managers for
these two candidates.
Every dollar Of the S450,000 con
tribution was made by myself said

given as an individual or as repre-
senting any corporation or firm Not
a dollar came from any corporation
or other interests. | gave it all my

Perkins Is BelIigerent.
George w. Perkins was belliger-
ent witness and twice had to be
called to order by the committee, the
members of which objected to his
manner of lecturing them. Bitterly re-
sentful of the charge made in the
senate by Senator Penrose, and later
repeated by Chairman Hilles, that
two or three millions mad been spent
in the Roosevelt pre-convention cam
paign and that this had come from
the harvester and steel trusts and
had been underwrtten by him. he ex
claimed, sngrily:
Among the long list of unmitigated
lies throughout this campaign that
statement about the $3000,000 fund
perhaps ought to be placed at the top,
because it was the largest.
Hoped to See oenrose.
Il was in hopes that Senator Pen
rose would be here. he made that
statement on the floor Of the senate
and he ought to be required to prove
1t; or, like a gentleman, he ought to
take 1t back There is not a scintilla
of truth In it from A to y.
Did you ever enter into any ar
rangement to underwrite any portion
of Colonel Roosevet's campaign" he
was asked
Not one dollar" said Mr.. Perkins.

only practicable test we can have
and if it does not keep out all unde-
sirables II will at least keep out some
of them. They insist that in this day
and time the ability to read has BE-
come practically essential.
Tt seems to US that the ability to
read and write il no sure test OF the
usefulness of an immigrant, neither
does 1t prove any guarantee OF his
character.
We have depended and do depend up
on immigrants to do our hardest
manual labor. They do not shirk
from such work as do American born
laborers. The negroes, are slothful
and our poor white trash lazy, and
if the country is deprived of a great
part of the immigrant labor to which
it has been accustomed to depend on,
it will suffer in many ways.
We do not want the criminal class OF
foreigners to find refuge on our
shores, and some test to prevent that
should be brought forward
instead of a test that would have
barred out many of our worthy Pill
grim Fathers.

Should immigrants be barred out of

HAVE al PURPOSE Jim YOUR FARM.

Unquestionably the man reason why
many farmers make such a poor show
ing and accumulate 10 little il to be
found in the fact that they have no
definite purpose i'm their farming.
They do not know what they are try
ing to do. Their main crop this year
may be cotton next year it may be
corn another year it may be something
else. They may "go into" hogs when
prices are high and out again when
prices get low. They do not know
even now what crops are to go in the
different fields next year and they
have only the vaguest sore Of idea as
to what they will have to dispose of
next fall or next spring.
This sort of farming will never sue
coed. The first thing for the farmer
to do in planning his work is to de-
eide what particular line OF farming
he will follow. If he is going to make
cotton, or peanuts, or hogs, or dairy
products, or anything else, his main
dependence for cash, he must then
plan his rotation, lay out his fields,
arrange his work with a view to max
ing this specially as profitable as pos
sible. Then he can give attention to
the best methods of handling the other
crops and other lines of work.
Judicious specialization, or at least
judicious arrangement of crops and
work with a definite end in view, is
the only safe plan for the farmer to
follow. This is not incompatible with
proper rotation and diversifcation.
In fact, it is almost an essential
part of it. Haphazard rotations, un-
certain aims, constantly changing
plans must give way on thousands of
our Southern farms to definitely
planned progress toward determin-
ed end, before any high degree of pros
perity is reached.-The Progressive
Farmer.

PARCELS POST.

On the first Of January the West
minister postoffice, together with every
postofice i'm Uncle Sans domain, will
have an added function-that of re-
ceiving and dispatching parcels.
The parcels post law was passed
after forty years of agitation, and it
will affect the general public to a
greater degree than any law passed by
Congress in recent years.
The descriptions, briefly, are that
packages up to eleven pounds i'm
weight may be sent through the mails;
that package must not exceed sew
enty-two inches in combined length
and girth; that it must not contain
material that might perish in transit,
soil or mutilate the mail bags or in
jure any persons handling the mail L;
that the packages must be securely
wrapped and plainly addressed, carry
ing the name and address Of the send
or, and that only special parcels post
stamps may be used, common postage
stamps not being accepted.
These directions should prove sufi-
Gent for the sender. The charges
must BE- worked out by the postal
clerks. They vary according to dis
lance, being arranged In IL system of
zones. To some extent these charges
protect the local merchants against
the mail order houses. On the whole,
they are considerably less than ex-
press charges for the same weights
and distances, although it has been
intimated that the express companies
may cut rates to meet those Of the
government.
The parcels post may be consider
ed as Uncle Sans Christmas gift to
the country. In other countries, this
service has proved great conven-
fence to the people and IL extensively
used. AS soon as we become familiar
with the system we have no doubt but
that it will be great success here.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, dec. ~, 1912
THE NEW YEAR.

The last lines of the last chapter of
the old year, are now being recorded,
and the book will be closed, and pass
into the history Of the world, ere an
other issue of The Advocate. With
the years that have made UP the centu-
ries Of the past, it will take its place.
tt has been a year. to our nation, of
peace and prosperity, giving cause for
much thankfulness upon the part of
our people to Almighty God for His
great goodness to us.
And into every home there has been
much to be thankful for. And while
sorrrows and disappointments have
come, under the orderings of Divine
Providence, they have been, if properly
viewed, blessings in disguise, working
out some great purpose for US, the i'm
portance of which we may not realize
now, but which we shall know here
after.
The closing of the old year, which
has been with us in our joys and our
sorrows, and the opening of the new,
with it's unknown future, is, a time for
serious reflection. lit should sober our
ambitions and widen our charities.
When we recall the number of our
friends who have closed their earthly
careers during the year that il now
ending, it should teach us the uncer-
tainty of our own tenure, and quicken
our generous feelings for our fellow
men who are about us, giving our
sympathies and help to "the worst"
and our good cheer to ''the best" Men
will never fully understand the true
mission of life, until they come to real
ize, that the highest satisfaction and
blessing come to the man who is try
ing to render help to those who are in
need Of it, to speak kind word to the
man who is discouraged and about to
give up, and rendering help to the
destitute, and pulling up those, who
are, as we say, down and out"
The season should bring reflections
like these, and the man who has never
known the blessings of unselfsh ser
vice, could not find better time to
turn new leaf" than now. The Ad-
vocate sends out it's greetings to all
its patrons and friends, wishing them
every blessing for the New Year.

THE MAN WHO WAS HANDY
AROUND THE HOUSE.

Zone reason for the higher cost 81
living is that this generation is not sc
handy at doing things as we were,
one OF the elders tells his son. Ou1
fathers prided themselves on being
"handy around the house." They
knew how to put up kitchen shelves
varnish the furniture, hang wallpaper
and put up the stovepipe. They could
fix chairs and solder leaks in lin
pans.
Mother knew how to sew and darn
and mend everything, from stockings
to the parlor sofa. Father was a
Observation-Disclosures. They never thought
of calling in the carpenter, the plumb
er, the carpet man or the painter
every time any little thing was to be
done. The younger generation not
only do not mend and make, they do
not know how.
Homemade things have vanished
along with patched trousers and darn
ed socks. We dress better and have
more ready-made conveniences. But
they cost money. The modern Ameri-
can seldom does any work himself
that he can hire somebody else to do.
AS for tinkering around the house, he
considers it hardship when he has
to shake down the furnace.-Towson

ment, and the intention was clearly
to convey the idea that a monument
will be erected. However, they forget
that Congress has the final say. The
writer received the following letter
and pamphlet from Congressman Bor-
land, who is fathering the Lincoln
Highway Bill: The fight is on in Con-
gress between the friends of the Lin
coin highway and the Greek Temple
project. Please ask your friends to
get busy and remind their Congress-
man to stand by the Highway"
'"The Greek Temple down by the
Brewery"-"Must we rescue the mem
DRY of Abraham Lincoln from oblivion
by constructing an imitation Greek
Temple on the furthermost point of
Potomac Drive, down by the Brewery?
Must we authorize the expenditure of
two million dollars Of the peoples
money at this time for such a pur-
pose. | trust not. The report of the
Lincoln Memorial Commission is in
direct opposition to the recommended
lions of The Grand Army of the Re
public, The Loyal Legion, The Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, the Sons of

WASHINGTON IN WESTMINSTER
ABBEY.

The proposal OF the British COM
mittee charged with arranging the cele-
bration of the centenary of Anglo
American peace to erect a monument
to George Washington in Westmins-
ter Abbey will please rather than sur
prise Americans. As long ago as the
days when Thrackeray wrote "The Vir-
ginians" the people of this country
learned to recognize the real British
appreciation Of a great American who
was born a British subject.
1t is only a few years since the
British Parliament consented to the
selection as Prime Minister OF the new
South African Colony of the COM
mander in chief or the recently defeat
ed Boer army. Even a monument to
Washington in the Abbey will hardly
supply better testimony than the re-
cent history of Botha to o. British
quality which has contributed to the
making of a world empire.
1T may be fairly doubted LII even
among Englishmen Westminster Alb.
hey ID a greater place OF pilgrimage
than among Americans. Several citi.
zens Of the United, States have AT
ready been honored by recognition
there. To erect monument to Wash.
ington in this place will merely In
crease itslimportance in the eyes, Of the
English speaking world whose from
tiers are not coterminous with those
or the British Empire.-New- Yorf
