President Taft spent Sunday in New
York, and was the guest at luncheon
of Adolph s. Ochs, proprietor of the
New York Times. Thirty yaers ago
this spring, the editor Of the Star was
a printers devil in the office of the
Chattanooga Times, Of which Mr.. Ochs
was then manager and proprietor.
The Times wasn't much bigger then
than the Star is now. and Mr.. Ochs, in
addition to his work as manager, often
went into the book and composing
rooms and helped the workmen. He
was a specially good hand at the paper
cutter, and seemed to take pleasure in
working with it. Mr.. Ochs had no
pretensions to editorial genius, but had
the knack of picking out competent
men and keeping them. His editorial
writer was Col. Frank G. MacGowan,
who for many years held place in the
first rank Of Tennessee and Southern
journalism. VIII Stone. now, we be-
lieve, manager Of the Times, was then
a young printer in its job room Mr.
Ochs was a hard worker, not only for
himself and his paper, but for Chat
tanooga and East Tennessee. He was
one Of the first TO realize that what
the people require in journalism is
news more than opinion; also the
very important work that a paper can
do in building up a community. 1t is
safe to say that no man has contrib
uted more than he to the present
greatness of Chattanooga, and the
Times is now one Of the greatest pap
ers in the South. Some years ago, he
invaded metropolitan journalism and
acquired control of the New York
Times, which was then living more on
the reputation of it's past achievements
than it's current deeds. He put new
life into it, and has made himself a
figure of national prominence. Few
men have done more in thirty years
than Adolph S. Ochs, and he owes his
success TO hard work and allowing no
opportunity to pass him.

Geo NJ. Powell, attorney for Mr.
Frank Drew and the Florida Railway
has made that garnishment against the
Seaboard stick, has tied up S150,00O OF
the big roads funds and is going after
more. Mr.. Drew is having much diff
ficulty in building his road. but it is
to be hoped he will succeed, as North
east Florida needs it as this section
needed the Rentz road. 1t is strange
that the Seaboard is SO shortsighted
as to fight this line, which if built will
benefit its interests by increasing the
value of the territory thru which both
roads run.

Wilson and Harmon are so far in
the lead for the democratic presiden-
tia1 nomination that it doesn't seem
worth while to consider anybody else.
but not a few of us feel that if it
should go to Champ Clark the country
would be no loser. Mr. Clark has fully
demonstrated that he is broadminded
statesman, and as congressman of
many years standing and speaker of
the House of Representatives, he has
much wider and more practical ac-
quaintance with national affairs than
either the governor of New Jersey or
the governor of Ohio.

Los ANGELES TIMES
AND ITS GIFTED LIARS

4 Bristol. Tenn, special message to
the Los Angeles Times Of last Monday.
says that the thermometer at TAMPA
registered iS degrees at midnight,
causing much suffering among the
people of Tampa as they have but
few comforts and other bed clothing.
and their houses are shells set high
above the ground. and have only tin
stoves and oil heaters 10 provide
heat" That Bristol, Tenn. cores
pondent is one of the most gifted liars
in America. He has a clipping bureau
send him all strange things which
happen all over the world, and when
ever he wants to make a dollar or so
he gets out his scrapbook and picks up
an item that is out of the ordinary
and revamps it and sends it along to
some paper which he believes will grab
it like an orphan does prunes. He
knew that the Los Angeles papers
thrive on such hogwash and he got
probably fifty cents for his pains and
the intelligent people Of the United
States who saw the article were given
a new understanding why the Times
has had it's trouble with the labor peO-
pie. The paper will print anything to
endeavor to carry its point and sustain
its editorial policy.
Another liar has also developed
from Pensacola. who wired the same
paper that the orange crop was frozen
last Sunday. This makes by actual
count sixteen times the orange crop
Of Florida has been frozen this sea-
son, according to the Los Angeles
Times. According to the Times the
orange crop Of Florida has more lives
than eat. The truth of the matter is
that there has not been one orange
frozen in Florida this season. while
the Times admitted in its columns
that the crop loss by its holiday freeze
amounted TO 10000 car loads. 5000, 900
boxes, and probably 5000, 900 boxes

candidates for the nomination of con-
gresham at large, met in debate at
Key West the other day. A friend
sends us the following regarding the
incident: Mr.. LEngle attacked
O'Brien's public record in a perfectly
legitimate way. He proved that
O'Brien as a state senator in 1889. and
in the interests of the railroads, OPP
posed the three-cent rate bill and
moved for its indefinite postponement.
O'Brien wanted the people to pay the
higher rate. He also proved by the
legislative records that O'Brien fought
the primary bill. Other records show
ed O'Brien to represent the special in
terests and LEngle only dealt in pub
lie records. He showed up O'Brien be-
cause O'Brien's public record was not
for the benefit of the masses. He
made no personal attack"

Boyce and Briley to Pay Cost :
Judge Sustained Defendants
on Three Points.

The case of Boyce and Briley,
plaintiffs and the Tioga Road Cam.
mission, defendants, has been
settled in favor of the road CON-
mission, with the plaintiffs paying
the costs of the action.
The case has been on trial fo'
four davs. The plaintiffs sued the
commission on thre: counts. They
claimed $3.50 for extra work done
on the west road over the contract
specifications, $I34 for extra work
on the north gravel road, and S445
for extra work done on bridges on
the west road.
The Good Roads Commission
through their attorneys claimed
that all work done was required by
the contract. The Judge sustained
their contention at all points and
judgment was rendered against the
plaintiffs for costs.
This is the second time this case
has been tried. The first time it
came up the Commission succeeded
in having it thrown out of court.
Boyce and Briley then submitted d
an amended petition and were
granted new trial, on their paying
up of costs to that date.

Teachers Meeting
Enthusiastic One
DR.. Fisks Lecture Pleased the
Teachers. --Willis's Review
Interesting.

The afternoon session OF the
Teachers Association Saturday was
opened with music by the girls
chorus from the Chanute H gn
School. This was followed by the
main talk of the day, the lecture by
D. M. Fisk of Washburn. His lee
ture delaing directly with the
problems of the school teacher, is
acknowledged by majority Of the
teachers to be the most interesting
and helpful given IN the past two
years at any association meeting.
The difference between rea! teach
ing that is, teaching for the love of
it, and the teaching for the pay
check at the end of the month was
plainly shown, also the difference
in the effects of the different kinds
of teaching. The question OF an
cestry was spoken of plainly by the
lecturer and the teachers were
brought face to face with the fact
that though only thirty or forty
names were enrolled on their books,
their school in reality consisted of
the characteristics of thousands of
ancestors in thirty or forty pupils.
In the intermission between the
lecture of DR.. Fisk and the review
of w. R. Willis, Miss E sic Barbour
sang a solo. Supt. Willis, in inter
esling manner brought the facts
concerning the Proposed Leglsls-
ton Favored by the Legislative
Committee of the Kansas State
Teachers Association more plainly
before the association,
The main feature in the proposed
change is the making of the country
school unit instead of district.

REPORTS SILVER KILLED ii Ca CALIFORNIA

The perennial story that bob"
Ford. The slayer Of j. ssie James, has
been found. is revived in Los Angeles
This time the tale has particularly
sordid setting. Mrs. Caro- inc Ford
who shot and killed her husband there
in 1911, now declares the man known
as Albert P. Ford, was bob" Ford,
and announces that she intends to
collect from the state of Missouri any
rewards that may have been offered
for Fords capture during his career
as desperado. Mrs. Ford was tried
for murder, but jury decided that
there was othing criminal in her act
and acquitted her.
Mrs Ford told Los Angeles authori-
ties that the police of Kansas City
had identified picture of her hus-
band as that of "Bob" Ford. Chief
Griffin last night said that he
had received neither picture nor in
quiry from Mrs. Ford. "Bob" Ford
killed Jesse James in St. Joseph thirty
years ago in order to obtain reward
offered for James. Ford himself ac-
cording to the most authentic accounts
was killed in Colorado a few years
later.

During the month Of November
1911 total Of Io3,5I8,2I8 cubic
feet of gas was purchased for the
city. This year only 7I,6I5,438
cubic feet were purchased In No
vember. The price paid for No.
vembers gas in 1911 was S5,667 IS

This represents total saving of
$I78o.87, while the saving IN cubic

twenty-five million cubic feet
have been pumped into the city
mains from the East field, or about
eight hundred thousand per dav.
The field is still far from being

seem. The cast line gas is lower in
price than later contracts made

City's Report
For November
Bank Account Grows-.-Dis-
bursements Cuts in Half
Receipts Grow Larger.

According to the monthly report
of city clerk Amyx it would appear
that this has been a very prosperous
month for the city finances. The
disbursements for November are
less than half what they were for
October. However large part OF
Octobei's expenditures were for
city bonIs by funds in which there
was surplus and while no expend.
iture was made no charge occurred
In the back balance. the receipts
for this month show an increase
from all of the municipal owner
ship utilities with the exception OF
the water department. That fund
shows a decrease of seven hundred
dollars.
The gas fund received total of
$5047.42, water $Il2t As. Electric liRnt
1881, ,93, Cemetery $l6S, General S249.-
35, Park fund 81 so making the total
receipts for the month OF November
81, 1863. .65 against a total OF S623l $50 for
October. Increase in the size of gas
bills had something to do with the
prosperity of the gas fund. The
total disbursements for the month
were sl0,595, "a against $2l, ,239.37 in
October.
The bank balance Of the city Is
growing. The report showed total
of S2l, COL 26 for October and this has
been increased to $s3, ,6lO.S5 for Nov
ember. As commissioner OF finance,
