Missouri delegation now stands twenty for
Roosevelt and sixteen for Taft. Mr.. Tart
gets two district delegates from California.
The Roosevelt boomers have been much In
censed by the action of the steam roller
at Chicago, and charges and counter
charges have been flying through the air.
Theodore Roosevelt's sudden departure
for Chicago overshadowed all other topics
among politicians here and in Chicago.
Director Mckinley of the Taft headquar-
ters in Chicago declared the colonel's
visit was an admission Of defeat. Mr..
Mckinley said Roosevelt had been told
by his friends that he was beaten unless
he could himself save the day. William
Barnes, jr., chairman of the New York
Republican State Committee, declared IT
was Roosevelts purpose to try to STAN
pede the convention. 1t was stated In
Chicago that Mr.. Roosevelt planned to
appear In the convention and speak in his
own behalf, thing without precedent In
the party's history. Senator Dixon, the
Roosevelt manager. said the colonel was
to aid in preventing the stealing Of the
nomination. Mr.. Dixon admitted that
there was a good sized crisis in the sit
uation. President Taft denied that ne
was considering the possibility of a COM
promise candidate. He said that with
confidence he abided the judgment Of the
convention. and that all information he
received was that he would be nominated
on the first ballot. Taft men again de-
nounced all talk OF a compromise candi-
date, declaring 1t came only from the dis
heartened Roosevelt followers. Mr.. Nc
Kinley announced that the President was
in the fight to the finish, and could not
be defeated.
Ex-President Roosevelt compares the
present political situation In Chicago as
regards the Republican National Committee
with the Tweed days In New York In an
article in the current issue OF The Out
look Should President Taft be the sue
cessful candidate In the convention. the
colonel says, such nomination would
morally stand on precisely the same plane
as any election secured in New York State
in the old Tweed days by fraudulent voting
at the polls Mr.. Roosevelt declares cumu-
latlve evidence shows that President TAFT
and his adherents are deliberately con-
spring to steal the victory from the peo-
Pile and he adds, such theft Is quite as
great crime against the body polite as
any species OF commercial robbery-indeed.
in some ways II is worse
Theodore Roosevelt announced at Oys-
ter Bay, through Judge Ben B. Lindsey. OF
Denver. that he was In favor OF woman's
suffrage in this country, and that the plat
form which he would submit to the Chicago
convention would contain an unequivocal
declaration to that effect.
Associate Justice Hughes, Of the United
States Supreme Court, in passing through
this city, declared that he was absolutely
out OF politics and that under no circum-
stances would he permit the use of his
name as a compromise candidate at the
Republican National Convention in Chicago.

BANKERS ASK CONGRESS TO ACT

These developments are Of Importance
to the business world:
1.-The urgent necessity of Congress pro-
viding a system OF banking and currency
that will prepare the country to meet the
next downward swing of the pendulum OF
trade was emphasized at the opening or
the nineteenth annual convention OF the
New York State Bankers Association at
Buffalo. In this connection Elliott c. Nc
Dougal, chairman of the committee on city
reform, sounded a warning in submitting
his report He said: We bankers are not
expecting a panic. We are, on the con-
trary, on the eve Of a period Of prosperity.
We are due to have another bad period at
the end Of the prosperous times, however,
and this time it will be an industrial and
not bankers panic. Despite the good
times ahead. this is bound to come. The
seeds for 1t are being sown to-day
THE Pujo committee Of the House Of
Representatives, which Is investigating the
money trust at sessions held in this city,
turned its attention to the affairs Of the
New York Stock Exchange in its relation
to the banks and other financial institu-
tions Of the country. The stormy days Of
the financial panic of the fall of 1907 were
returned to by the committee. Some of the
inside facts in relation to the exciting con-
ditions which prevailed on the Stock En-
change and In the financial district during
those anxious days were brought out in the
testimony Of the witnesses. How the gov
eminent saved the financial situation IN
the panic days of October, 1907, by turning

it means a crushing blow to the Insured

greatly exaggerated and that apparently 1t

Keeping Firm Accounts.

Farm accounts. to be practical.
must be of the very simplest pos
sible nature, and require mn-
mum amount of time for their up
keep. Accounts are valuable ONLY
as they are carefully kept. The
occupation Of the farmer is na,,lr-
ally not conducive to bookkeeping
habits. When one works hard IN
the field all day, he does not, as :.
rule, feel like working grea, deal
over books. With some simple and
practical system Of keeping track
of various items each day, in some
sort Of day-book, one can later take
time i'll the winter, when other
things are less rushing, and work
up his balances. Young people
especially should be encouraged Il
they show any desire TO try to keep
farm accounts.

Prof. Massey's Views
(The Progressive Farmer.)

often given my ideas Of a proper
rotation for a cotton farm, but tins
is not the only rotation, and III GER
tain districts it may be found that
a different one would be better.
The leading idea IS to 50 arrange
the rotation that the soil will be
built up better for the production
in an economical way Of the lead
ing money crop, whether that is
cotton, tobacco, peanuts, or any
other special crop, to which your
soil and climate may be adapted.
Has potatoes on a Bermuda SOD
in Florida, and his neighbors say
that they should not be cultivated
after they are six inches high. The
grass is starting and he can keep
them clean by cultivating. My ad-
vice is to go ahead and cultivate
them shallowly till they show signs
of blooming. Many years ago |
had fine field Of late cabbages
in Virginia and my neighbors told
me I would ruin them If | culti
waited them III dog days" But
took no notice Of the dog star and
went on with the cultivation and
had the finest field Of cabbages in
the ncighborhood. There are many
of these old notions that are mere

and 100 pounds of nitrate of soda

year. on which over 81 worth Of
fertilizer was applied.
Now, | feel sure that, if he had
sown crimson clover among the
cotton and had a good growth to
turn under for the corn. he could
make as much corn this season
with simply the acid phosphate he
proposes to put into his mixture,
as he will with the whole COM
plete mixture he will use, and the
corn would cost him a trif1e as
compared with that grown with
the complete fertilizer. His soil is
the usual clay soil Of the Piedmont
section and, in ali probability, the
money he will pay for kainit will
be that much wasted. Then he
