IL, 1911, Col Roosevelt wrote to
President Taft the following letter,
which has before been published.
Dear Mr.. President: at once
took your letter and went over 1t
with the Outlook editors It
seems to me that what you propose
to do with Canada is admirable from
every standpoint. I firmly believe in
free trade with Canada for both eco.
nomic and political reasons. AS you
say, labor cost is substantially the
same in the two countries, SO that
you are amply justified by the plat
form. Whether Canada will accept
such reciprocity do not know, but
it is greatly to your credit to make
the effort. 1t may damage the Re-
publican party for while, but It
surely will benefit the party In the
end, especially if you tackle wool,
cotton, etc., as you propose"
The letter was signed "Ever
yours" which adds som ng to Its
value as revealing the Instability of
Col. Roosevelt.
The New York Evening Sun re-
prints the letter and asks what es-
cape there is from the charge of
insincerity and double dealing. It
answers it's own question with the as
sertion that there is no escape.
At Grand Rapids, February ~.
1911, Col. Roosevelt said
Here, friends in Michigan. right
on the Northern frontier, | have the
peculiar right to say a word of con-
graduation to you and to all of us
upon the likelihood that we shall soon
have closer reciprocal relations, tar
riff and trade regulations with the
great nation to the north Of u.s."
Then he went to New York and ad-
dressed an audience at Lincoln day
dinner, congratulating his hearers up
on "upholding the hands of Presi-
dent Taft in his effort to secure re-
ciprocity with Canada"
Now, in September, 1912. we find
Col. Roosevelt haranguing farmers
on the righteousness of what he ad-
vocated a short time ago.

EDISON RETIcENT.

West Orange N. j.. Telegram to the
New York Times.)
When asked to comment on the
anniversary of the first incandescent
lamp, Thomas A. Edison, its inven-
tor said:
"The past speaks for itself, and l
am not going to say anything about
the future"
Mr.. Edison disposed of his finan.

years ago and he participates in
none of the profits that are being
made from that particular invention.

tgation.

President ]. G. Hardy, of the Mis-
sissippi Agricultural and Mechanical
College, has addressed a letter to the
State Legislature in which he defends
the officers of the institution against
the charges recently made against
them. Extracts from Mr.. Hardy's let
ter are given below:
For each individual purchase since
have been at the College, now near
ly twelve years, there is an individual
voucher on file in the Secretary's Of
flee showing the date of the purchase,
the items of the purchase with the re-
ceipt from the parties to whom the
money was paid. The same precaution
is followed with every expense ac-
count and there is on file an itemized
voucher in every case. The disburse-
ments through the Secretary's office
during this period, exclusive of the
student and mess hall accounts, as
shown by his biennial reports to the
dierent legislatures, have amounted
to more than three million dollars.
The law directing the kind of financial
report that shall be made to the legis-
lature by the Secretary of this institu-
tion through the President and Board
of Trustees is the same that has been
In force during tho past twenty years.
IF you will examine the financial re-
ports of the Secretary during this per-
iod, you will find that the report made
to this Legislature is the fullest and
most specific ever made to any previ-
GUS legislature. The Secretary. Mr..
A. j. Moore, who is under a bond of
$4,000 in one of the best guarantee
companies in this country, went down
to Jackson before the report was turn
ed over to the printer and spent a
whole day and late into the night go
ing over the details of this report with
Mr. Sexton, President of the Board.
The Improvement in the character of
the report for the last biennial period
is the result of the efforts of these two
men. No legislature in the past, so
far as / know, has ever been dissatis-
fed with the character of reports
made by the Secretary of this institu-
tion. On the other hand, have heard
many compliments paid the Secretary
as to the character of his reports
I'VE have stood ready at all times

ETHYL ALCOHOL BILL
PASSED SENATE TODAY

A long distance telephone message
from Jackson states that the proposed
amendment to the prohibition law per-
mitting the manufacture of ethyl al
cohol in the state passed the Senate
this morning by a vote of 22 to 49,.
This news is very gratifying to the
citizens of Hattiesburg, who are in
terested in the passage of the amend
ment and who were not at all sure
of favorable action at this session of
the legislature. The amendment will
now go to. the lower house, where it is
hoped the members will follow the
lead of the senate and pass the bill.
The fight ion The amendment in the
house promises to be spirited one
and the friends Of the measure will
get busy and work for it's passage by
that body.

Tuck Growers' Association
VIII Meet Here March :

The next meeting of the Hatties-
burg Truck Growers Association will
be held on Saturday, March 2. and
from present indications promises to
be the most successful in the history
of the organization. An active can
vas has commenced to secure as large
an attendance as possible at this meet
ing which will be held at the Com
mercial Club rooms. Notices will be
sent to the members asking them to
bring as many of their neighbors as
possible.
At an early date this association
will commence to lay plans for the
locating here of a practical demon
stration farm, which will be placed in
charge of an expert and be ready for
actual work at the beginning of next
spring. 1t is pointed out that by be-
ginning the agitation for such farm
early in the present year everything
pertaining to the purchase and equip
ping of 1t can be done in time for next
seasons crop. 1t is planned to grow
every variety of seed that can be used
by the members Of the association, be-
sides giving actual demonstration in
the way of planting, cultivating and
harvesting of the different products
1t is known that there are a great
number of business men of the city
who are anxious that such a farm be
established, and there is no doubt that
they will lend their hearty co-opera.

ALGEBRA CUT OUT AS

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 22.-Algebra is
not an essential part of the education

House Legislature. A bill requiring
applicants for license first-grade teach
ers to stand examination on algebra
was defeated by that body yesterday.
The Senate defeated the Potter res
olution memoralizing Congress to pass
pending bills providing for higher ef-
ficiency in the organized militia.
Bills requiring telephone companies
to make physical connections and
railroad companies to vestibule
coaches on all passenger trains were
indefinitely postponed.

tion and assistance in bringing about
the desirable feature. With the new
exhibit hall that will be erected at the
old Fabacher stand, arranged so as to
give passing transient people a pleas
ing view of what can be raised in this
section, it would be a mighty fine
thing to have a practical demonstra.
ton farm to carry them to in the
event that they decided to stop off
and investigate conditions. The idea
in the minds of some of the members
of the truckers association is to pur-
chase about 40 acres close to the city
and secure the services of an expert
trucker and demonstrator to take
charge and manage the place. The
sale of seed alone from such an insti-
tuition would go along way towards
paying the expense of maintaining the
farm, when once it is equipped and
placed in workable shape, besides
there are a great many land corpora
tions and individual owners of cut
over pine lands who can be induced
to bear share of the expense in
Cured in this manner.
The proposition to engage the serv
ices of a demonstration for the truck
ers for the balance of the season will
be taken up by the association at the
next meeting, and before that time will
be discussed by the Commercial Club
who will be asked to endorse the
movement as outlined at the last meet
| ing of the association.
