HUGHES REFUSES

FORMER Postmaster General Frank
ii. Hitchcock, to advance his owr
political interests, has been trying tC
start boom among southern Republl
can politicians, in favor of the nomina-
tion of Hughes for the presidency. His
scheme was to get enough proxies in
the National Republican Convention tc
trade for his own purposes to some
winning candidate.
Mr.. Hughes refuses to permit himself
to be made catspaw to pull Hitch
cocks hot chestnuts out of the fire, and
writes to Mr.. Slemp the following
letter repudiating the Hitchcock plot to
drag him into the fight:
''My dear Mr. Slemp:
Your letter of February 8, has
been received. | am entirely out of
politics, and know nothing what
ever of the matters to which you
refer l am totally opposed to the
use of my name in connection with
the nomination and to the selection
or instruction of any delegate in my
interest, either directly or remotely.
Very sincerely yours,
CHARLES E. HUGHES. !"
This announcement Of Justice Hughes
is entirely in keeping with the senti-
ments The Transcript some weeks ago
imputed to him, and removes him out of
the presidential contest-one of the two
most formidable candidates suggested.

Williams a Winner.
(Trom Democrat t-Tribune.)

Judge Fred l.. Williams is making
splendid showing in his race for the
Democratic nomination for Judge of
Division No. 2 of the Supreme Court
(unexpired term.) This is not sur
prising to his many friends who have
known him and kept in touch with
his career. From a farmer boy, in
early life, with out financial backing,
he worked his way through college
and law school, coming out the honor
man of his class. Upon finishing law
school he located at Joplin, where
by his own efforts he arose to the top
of the Jasper county bar. Three
years and hale ago, when the Su-
preme Court was looking over the
State for man to appoint upon the
Supreme Court Commission to aid the
court in writing opinions and relieve
the overcrowed condition of the Su-
preme Court docket, Judge Villa ms
was selected by the court from list
of more than thirty applicants. So
satisfactorily did he perform his work
that he was again elected by the
unanimous vote of the seven Judges
for another term as a commissioner.
He is forty years of age, stands six

barrels. The expose came about as
follows:
"Bud" Cundiff, formerly of Doe
Run, had been visiting the Downs
"joint" quite frequently. On Thurs
day he took on few more than he
could comfortably carry and while
in this condition he alleges he was
"rolled" of sum of money amount
ing to $50. He accused the proprietors
of taking his money but was unable
to get it back. He then swore to an af-
fidavit charging Montgomery and Friz-
eel with selling beer. He said he had not
only bought beer on the day he made
the affidavit but had done so on differ
ent occasions. 1t was through his tip
that the officers located the 81 barrels.
He told the officers that they might
not find much booze at the joint but
that if they would visit the old beer
depot near the Illinois Southern
depot at Elvlns they would lind lots
of it.
Armed with the necessary papers
and the regulation equipment of artil-
lery Constable Schaefer, Jas. RICHIE
son, "Jargo" Bolin and "Jargo"
Lewis visited the beer house. They
found beer to the right of them, beer
to the left of them and whiskey in
front of them, gurgling and sparkling.
They secured a truck from Flat River
and had it hauled to Squire Ramsey's
office. 1t surely must have been only
of conversational brand because
Jas. Richeson and "Jargo" Bolin after
sleeping with it Wednesday night
were none the worse for their expert
ence when day dawned Thursday.
The "booze" will be held as
corroborative evidence in the several
cases pending against Frizzel and
Montgomery.

Dry Weather Cultivation.

COLUMBIA, Mo.-Samuel NJ. Jordan
of the State Board of Agriculture says
that the two important things in dry
weather cultivation of corn are to
prevent evaporation of the water in
the soil and to retain what may fall as
rain.
To leave a slightly corrugated sur
face is best, since fat surface of dust
will get hotter than one with slight
corrugations similar to the surface as
it Els left following corrugated
roller. Since on the fat surface the
SUMS rays strike more nearly perpen-
,dicular to the surface, hence evapora-
ton by the wind and heat will be less
than on fiat surface.
Again, if the surface of dust is left
fiat and heavy rain should fall, this
fiat surface will "puddlen more quick
ly than the corrugated surface, hence
the water will begin to run more
quickly from the fiat surface, while
on the corrugated surface more rain
gets into the soil, which is very de-
sirable in a dry time.
Again, after the rain has cease
the flat surface will dry more rapidly,
and crack open worse than the cor
rugated surface.
In view of these facts, any tool such
as drag, mower, or corn plan ter
wheel, should have some harrow
teeth SO placed as that they will leave
the surface slightly rough. Where
shovel tools are used, the plowing
should not be deep nor very close
to the corn roots, especially toward
time for ''laying by.n
1t would appear that corn roots
finish their growth early, and do moi
grow much after the corn is large az
can be plowed with two-horse culti-
vator. Cutting of the roots when
they have made their full growth
does damage that cannot be repair
ed.
Cultivation should be frequent
enough to keep down weeds and to
prevent the crusting and cracking Of
the surface.

More Misrepresentation.


That some of the st. Louis papers
have yellow streak down their spin
al columns, especially in regard to
matters OF political nature, evidence
is constantly multiplying. The latest
indication of such "yellowness" that
has come to the attention of The
Times, is the rot and buncombe that
has recently been handed out by
some of them in regard to Hon. Cor
yoljus Roach expecting to Withdraw
Jnis aRme as a gubernatorial candi-
datG,
Such suggestion, on its face, ap-
pears as an absolute falsehood, with
out the least appearance Of rhyme or
reason. Why should Mr.. Roach have
even the remotest idea Of such action,
when it is admitted and conceded that
he is one of the strongest men in the
race for the Democratic Nomination.
Even those who do not intend to-vote
Tor him are free to admit that he will
t,e al Icset second.in the race after the
yctes sys counted. Would that St,
Louis had one Democratic paper that
could be depended upon in regard to
Democratic information.
