B. D.-Fondant.-We are glad you
had such good luck with your Cream
Kisses. A great many Tribune read
ers tried them and met with splendid
success. We think that the trouble
with your fondant is that you scrape
the pan you cook it in, when you pour
the batch in the pan to cool. You
must not do this as the friction caused
by the spoon on the sides and bottom
of the pan will start the batch to
grain; perhaps you have noticed that
the "scrapings" from batch are al
most invariably much lighter in color
than the rest of the candy? That is
the result of the sugar starting to
turn. Your receipt is all right and
carries plenty of acid. 50 your trouble
must be in working it.

Answers to Inquiries.

M. N.-Buttercups.-The piece you
have reference to is "Buttercup," a
piece of candy that requires special
tools to make, such as a batch warmer
to keep the candy warm while the op-
orator spins it out into ropes about
the size of your small finger, and a
tool known as buttercup cutter, a
machine which presses the ropes of
candy into small Cushions" thereby
stretching the outside coating which
gives it the beautiful gloss this piece
of candy has and at the same time
the machine cuts and seals the ends
of each cushion. 1t would be impossi-
BILE for you to make buttercups with
out these tools.

That fiercely fought for mastery

He gravely walked to meet me and
feared he was not we'll
He had a great big secret and
Was simply wild to tell!
And when we gathered round the
And watched the embers glow,
He took his place upon my knee
And shyly whispered low:
"Muvver says this evenin' that
NV breeches will be done;
Tomorrow l can wear them and
Gee! won't there be fun!"
And while his mother Rugged him
close,
The baby wondered why
The casting off of hated kits
Should make his mother cry!
She's glad and yet she's sorry
o wondrous mother-heart!
You must not grieve for he must grow
TO do big mans part.
That baby forehead will be lined
With burrows deep of care;
Those dimpled hands must hardened
grow,
And learn to do their share.
And these wee baby cheeches that
Have such bewitching grace,
Will in their turn be cast aside
And others take their place.
And though he grows to mans estate
And mighty nations sway,
The mother-heart will ever see
The baby of today.

A PLAIN STATEMENT
AND A PROMISE

An honest man doesn't
need laws to make him honest
or to keep him so.
An honest corporation
doesnot require laws to make
or keep it 50.
Just what constitutes an
honest man or an honest cor
poration is more or less a
matter Of varying opinion.
but it is generally conceded
that a man who treats his
neighbor fairly. taking no UNI
due advantage. asking no e1-
cess of profit nor misrepre-
senting the goods he has to
selling the best goods
he can produce with a fair
margain Of profit to himself
is honest.
Now a corporation is no
more and no less than a man
doing business on a large
scale: and If a CORPORATION
can answer that definition.
then we ought to concede
that it is an honest corpora
ton. Such a corporation
oesn'tneed laws or coercion
to make it honest or to keep
it so. And with all due
regard to skeptics. that j. the
kind Of a corporation The
Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company
tries to be->claims to be.
1t is now giving the best
service it can produce at a
fair margin Of profit. asking
no excess of interest on the
money actually invested. (t
has no bonds and no watered
stock.)
Now. without coercion
and without demand Of law
it makes this promise-that
its rates shall always be as
low as possible consistent
with good service. II the
rates shall at any time pro-
duce an excess Of profit they
will be reduced to such a
hgure as to return only a fair
rate Of interest on the money
actually invested. Keep this
in mind: it is true. and a
promise from an honest COR
poration.

THE ENGLISH FARMS.

While our farm lands are continu-
ing to increase In value and our peo-
pie showing increased interest in
farming and making more out of the
soil than ever before. 1t may not be
generally known that In free trade

preciating. The land values In that
United Kingdom have steadily de-
preciated from ss,229,251.506 In
1885 to $6,32s,15O.OO0. or about rs

Taft's ''Good Politics"
Charlotte Observer

Mr. Taft is one OF the queerest
politicians this country has ever
known. He has actually recommend
ed that the power OF appointing
thousands OF men to official positions
be taken away from the President alb
solutely and be placed under the Civil
Service rules. The other day. without
waiting for the action Of Congress,
he issued an order taking all the ru-
raj free delivery employees of the Post
office Department out of politics, and
now comes Postmaster-General Hitch
cock with recommendation that the
Postoffice Department be removed alb
solutely from political influence. He
would have postmasters Of all grades
placed in the classified service be-
cause he believes that in this way
the efficiencq Of the service would be
greatly advanced. In his opinion, the
full efficiency of the Department can
not be obtained while thousands of
postmasters are appointed because OF
their political Affiliations.
This is not the sort of practical
politics. about which we have heard
SO much, but it is the highest poll
tics that was ever played In this
country. The Government at Wash
ington is the greatest business enter
prise nthe United States. So far as
possible, 1t ought to be managed on
strictly business principles. It can
not be so managed so long as the
army of men engaged in the postal
service are regarded as SC many
pawns on the political chess-board.
For the President and his Postmas-
ter-General to recommend just upon
the eve of one of the most exciting
political campaigns We have ever
known, that the Postof1ce Depart
ment be taken out Of politics, demon
strates their superb courage and
faith in the American people. We
call this good politics.

AND TURNS TO ITAAfMANY.

A Washington dispatch says that
Colonel Watterson and Colonel Har-
vey wanted Woodrow Wilson to meet
Thos. F. Rryan, the traction mag
nate, and arrange about some cam
paign funds, but that Mr. Wilson
objected to meeting Mr.. Ryan in per-
son and also admitted that he
thought Col. Harvey's support was
hurting his candidacy Though it
seems that Mr.. Wilson did not want
to meet Mr.. Ryan, still the New
York World says that Professor Will
son is seeking Senator O'Gorman's
advice and is looking to O'Gorman
to secure for him the support of the
New York delegation.
Now, it is well known that Sena-
tor O'Gorman was elected by the in
fiuences Of Tammany Hall, the most
corrupt political organization in the
United States.
II Mr.. Wilson can line up with
Senator OGorman and the Tammany
Hall influences it Is hard to under
stand how it could further soil his
political linen to appear in the pres
ence of Mr.. Ryan. However, it
may be that the Professor will turn
down O'Gorman also if the rank and
file get hot on his tracks

NATIONAL FOREST RESERVE
Will Have National Forest i'm the Mt.
Mitchell Region OF This State
Chance for Forest Rangers.

A special from Washington to the
Charlotte Observer says:
within the next few months I'm
Gle Sam will have q National forest
in the Mt. Mitchell region of North
Carolina. The Government has con-
tracted for about 100000 acres of
land and will take it over If the titles
are all right. The prices have been
agreed upon and Solicitor McCabe, of
the Department of Agriculture, is
preparing the contracts. The titles
will be passed upon by the Depart
ment of Justice and the land paid for
and transferred from the present
owners to the United States.
This is just the beginning of pur-
chases to be made under the Weeks
law in the Southern Appalachian and
White Mountains. Forestry experts
are now engaged in examining 200,-
5000 acres more.
"W. L. Hall, Of the forest service,
who has charge of this work, speak
ing of the purchases, says:
When the land is purchased we
Immediately put forest rangers on

may come up said Mr.. Hall. The
land becomes regular national for
est. We will sell mature timber and
give the young timber an opportunity
to grow. We expect to profit by get
ting repeated crops. Grazing will be
encouraged.
We will help the people of the
national forest regions to build roads,
trails and put in telephone lines.
These improvements, I think, will
encourage the building of summer
camps and hotels. We want the peo-
pie to feel that we are going to be
very careful about what we do. We
desire their cooperation
1.-THE general purpose OF the
Weeks law Is to secure the mainten-
ance of perpetual growth of forest
on the watersheds OF navigable
streams where such growth will ma
terially aid in preventing foods, in
improving low waters, in preventing
erosion of steep slopes and the silt
ing up Of the river channels, and
thereby improve the flow of water for
navigation.

THE BASE CRIME OF INGRaTI-
tube.

The Washington Post. commenting
on the conduct Of Professor woodrow
Wilson towards Colonel Harvey, says
that this will leave him under one
OF the gravest and most Injurious
charges that could be brought against
a man, namely. that he deliberately
sacrificed a friend and turned his
back upon his benefactor, for the
sake of selfish advantage"
The Post further says a man may
be guilty OF many grave faults and
yet have many noble and redeeming
qualities, but that when a man Ia
guilty of ingratitude that he Is want
ing of ali the basic qualities OF man
hood, that he is a fraud and has no
kind OF character on which to build
or which can be trusted.
Continuing, the Post says:
There is a quality in ingrati-
tude which sets man apart
from his fellows, and marks him
as one to be summed"
This 10 . terrific indictment, but
the language is none too strong to
uss absut . man who has proven him
self to be an migrate. We trust that
Prof. Wilson will be able to make
some explanation.
But even if everything that has
been said about the ingratitude of
Prof Wilson to Col. Harvey is true,
still it is not half as bad as the base
ingratitude of which Josephus Dan
iels was guilty of toward Major
Stanton, Of Wilson County. The
facts in that case show Daniels to be
one of the most contemplate Of in
CRATES.
