To Theodore Roosevelt:

To Theodore Roosevelt:
President Taft has instructed me to
inform you that under no circum-
stances win he allow those who cam
paign in his behalf to indulge in false
accusations concerning your personal
morals, temperance or probity. He
begs me to say that he has telegraph
ed today to j. Adam Bede and John
arshalI Harlan, the short-weight son
of the late lamented and honored JUS
tice of the supreme court to cease
their campaign of abuse on the stump.
Further than this, he desires at this
late date, but in some fitting manner,
to acknowledge that your statement
in regard to accepting another term
was made by you only when it was
necessary on that occasion to insure
Mr.. Taft's nomination In 1908. The
president believes that he has been Ill
advised during his administration by
Crane. Guggenheim, Aldrich, Cannon
and Barnes, and that there can be no
hope of his success unless he takes
the reins in his hands and acts accord
ing to his own natural honorable In
clination.

WILLIAM JENNING BRYAN


To John Smith. Laborer:
In answer to your inquiry about the
Democratic tariff plank. let me be
honest and frank 1t Is probably true
that the tariff revision proposed would
cause violent disturbance in the bust
ness world, the greatest suffering, as
always. to be borne by the wage-earn-
ers. The statement in our platform
that tariff for protection was uncon-
stitutional was q new one on me.
don't wonder you are puzzled about
that. You ask what tariff for revenue
only" means. No one can answer, be-
cause 1t all depends upon how much
revenue we desire to raise. How large
is a piece of ice." or How old have

OF the matter Is that all this is pure

ACRE OF APPLES
VALUED AT $500
Vice President Of 3. & o. Comments
on West Virginia Or
chards.

Vice President George r. Randolph,
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
company, writing relative to the
amount OF freight per acre that may
develop from the apple orchards in
West Virginia, says that he is inclin-
ed to view the estimate Of the agri-
cultural agent OF the railroad. J. II.
Stewart of Morgantown. which was
published in this paper some time
ago. the most reliable OF several he
has obtained. He adds:
The prevailing number of apple
trees planted to the acre would be
about so as fair average. three and
half barrels TO tree would be a
very conservative estimate OF the
average yield OF well cared for or
chard In its bearing period; this
would mean something like ITS bar
reis TO the acre. or one carload. Some
orchards yield more. and. OF course,
some others, in not as good condition,
or differing In age. would produce
less; but excluding orchards that are
too young for full crop bearing, and
neglected orchards or old orchards
that have partially outgrown their
usefulness, the above would seem tb
oe fair average.
Few Of the staple crops OF the south
yield anything like carload to the
acre. Reckoning by weight. it would
require so acres of land TO produce
as much cotton, with its seed, or 80
acres OF wheat. or "a acres of corn,
or ~ acres OF hay to produce as much
freight as one acre OF apples So
much from the freight standpoint.
At low estimate. the acre of apples
would yield $500 to the farmer or
twenty-five times as much as the acre
Of cotton and 40 times as much as the
acre Of wheat or the acre of corn.
These are facts worth consideration
of railroads and farmers.

Do not nominate me If the votes of

gard this as a normal and not poll
tical question. Remember that the
rank and file of our party in direct

we are too reactionary. My desire to
