OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
( Special Correspondent )
L
. . . . -
President Taft has made it plain
that he hopes and expects to se * -
cure a renomination for'the presi-
dency.
This means that he does not even
yet see the point conveyed in the
returns of the recent elections. It
is evident to many that the presi-
dent sees no significance in the ,
fact that from Maine to California
the candidates branded with bis in-
dorsement have been retired to
private life by overwhelming ma-
jorities while those having his op
position have everywhere been ele-
vated by the people.
In view of the decisive repudia-
tion of the Taft administration in
the recent elections , it becomes in-
teresting to know the identity of
the men whose advice the presi-
dent has followed to his political
downfall. Here are some of the
men in the Taft cabinet whose
pedigrees make it plain why Mr.
Taft's administration has failed to
please the common people :
Attorney General Geo. C. Wick- : 1
. ersham - Former attorney for the
sugar trust ; ( i was he who induced
President Taft to recommend ia
his annual message -against a con-
gressional investigation of the $2-
000,000 sugar trust underweight
fl auds ; ) . irumediatel.y upon taking
office Wickersham dropped suits
which had been started against the
beef trust , taking the position that
he did not believe members of the
trust tvmeant" to violate the law
ami. that nothing could beTgained
through prosecution for ' ; past" of-
fenses ; Wickersham wrote _ legal
opinion vindicating Ballenger and
indicting Pinchot and Glavis.
Secretary of State Philander C.
Knox - Former attorney for the
steel trust ; hand of J. P. Morgan
is seen by many in his conduct of
the state' department ; the Man-
churian proposal , for Wall street's
benefit , made America : ; the subject
of laughter in every civilized land ,
and , with the Crane scandal , prac-
tically ended our influence for the
I doctrine of "the open door. , "
I Secretary of Agriculture Wil
son-Does whatever his superior
I
officers ( Taft , Aldrich , Cannon et
en ) demand in order to hold his
position ; has shown himself to be
an enemy of pure food laws by '
permitting manufacturers of food
products tp use benzoate of soda in
any quantity desired ; takes posi-
tion retail merchants and not trusts
, nor tariff are responsible for in !
creased prices. ( This is official view
of the Taft administration. )
Charles NagelSecretary of Com-
merce and Labor-Former attor-
ney for the Waters-Pierce ( Stan-
dard ) Oil company ; he is at the
head of department in which is
located the bereau of corporations.
Secretary of War' Dickinson-
Harriman and Illinois Central law-
yer ; showed his hand as a stool
pigeon for the railroads by block-
ing an independent line of , steam-
I
ships to Panama. -
I Secretary of the Treasury Mc-
Veagh - His record is immaterial ,
as Aldrich ; is real head of currency
I
and finance of country.
Ballinger . Exposed and discred
ited , but still in office. ,
Truth About Maine
Sufficient time has now passed
, to get the truth from Maine. Au-
' show that the dem
thentic reports'show m- -
, ocratic victories there were not
won principally upon state and
local issues as the republican lead-
ers have tried to represent. The
most prominent issues were :
Failure of the "republican party
to fulfill its campaign ; pledge to
revise the , tariff downward , high
cost of living , Cannonism , Hale-
ism , questions ± pertaining r . to . pro- * +
hibition. " -
.
. The democratic congressional
candidates : promised to investigate"
and expose the following ) ) :
The cost of living as affected by
the . tariff and the trusts. \
I Extravagance/in , government ex
, penditures.
The part played , by jVIr. Wick
ersham in the sale of friar 'I lands in
the Philippines. ,

and other c cabinet members squeez-
ed out of plutocrats for campaign
purposes when Roosevelf. ran in
1904 , and how much Hitchcock :
raised for Taft four years later.
The efforts of the trusts and syn
dicates to grab timber and mineral
lands and water power sites and
Ballinger's relation thereto. -
The reasons why President Taft
joins the Guggenheim's in denying
to Alaska territorial government.
- The influences behind the rubber
schedule , cotton schedule and wool
schedule of the Payne-Aldrich tar-
iff bill.
The part played by national of-
ficers in promoting the plundering
of the civilized Indians of Okla-
homa by lawyers , claim agents and
politicians.
Generosity of Aldrich
Republican candidates for con-
gress . . boast of the generosity of I
Senator Aldrich in permitting a
large number of articles to go on
the free list in the new tariff law.
And democratic candidates are ; tel-
ling what the free list really cor -
sists of. Some of the things that
the generous Rhode Island states-
man permitted on the free list
were joss-sticks , bladders , dried
blood and horse hair. Then there
are bird's eggs , lemon juice , tur-
tles and junk. Also acorns , bones ,
ashes , zaffer , catgut , fossils , Bra-
zilian pebbles and oakum !
Expensive Horseshoeing
One hundred and forty dollars
for street car tickets ; 237.66 for
horseshoeing , 429.55 for soap and
brushest These are a few of the
I . small expenditures . of the state'de-
" ' " -
partment of the government in
1909. The horse-shoeing itera , is a
.
: ! ! \
gem as a sample of the ow'-ch , I .
boasted Taft policy of ' 1cut-tu-t ' ) e-
quick" economy. The item of
237.66 refers'to the shoeing of
four horses for one year.
Tariff increases Prices
Prof. J. P. Norton , of Yale uni-
versity , declares that the "increas
. ed proportionate output of gold"
is not the principal cause of in-
.
creased prices. Prices in this coun-
try , under protection , have ad-
.
vanced 50 per cent more than in.
England , under free tradehe . 's :
In all countries under , the gold
standard , the output of gold must
operate uniformly. Therefore ,
Prof. Norton concludes , there must
be some special cause at work in
this country. . He suspects it is
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
A Growing Army
In . the last eight years 99,225
federal officeholders have been ad-
ded fo the pay rolls of the national
government , at an annual increas-
ed expense to the people of more
than seventy million ! dollars.

country in i Missouri , where he ! l ;
I
went to look at the country with a'
a'I
I
view to locating. He returned !
better satisfied with Cherry coun-
ty and says the jfollowing which
is copied from a real' estate deal
er's pamphlet in Missouri , is a
better description of the Ozark
country than he could give :
We can give you no better de
scription of this region than that
of 'Treachin' Bill " who runs the
ferry in THE SHEPAKD OF TUB
HILLS : "When God looked upon
th' work of his hancl an' called hit
good , he war sure a-lookin' at this
Ozark country. Rough ? Law ,
yes ! Hit war made that-a-way on
purpose. Ain't 'nothin' to a flat
country , nohow. A man just wears
hisself plumb out a-walkin' on a
level 'thout ary down hill t' spell I
him. An' then look how much
more thar is of it. Take forty
acres 0' flat now an' hits jest a
forty , but you take forty acres o'
this here Ozark country , an' God
'Imighty only knows } how much
'twould be if hit war rolled out
flat. 'Tain't no wonder 't all God
rested when he made these here
hills ; he jest naturally had t' quit , !
fer he done his beatenest an' 'war

Get Your Trees Ready
for Winter.
Stop cultivating deep. Let them
hed their leaves and ripen up their
wood by only keeping a duston fop-of
ground to retain moisture in ground ,
and on town lots where trees ' "are
watered gradually reduce amount of
water. , A tree needs moist ground
during fall and winter. If town lot
trees need water later water them at-
freezing up time for their winteruse.
- We have ail the varieties of Cher-
ry , Plum ? Apple and Forest and .
Shade Trees , Evergreens. Small Fruit
Shrubs , Roses and other ornamentals.
GET THE CHEAPEST for a long
time usefulness. A TREE IS A PER-
MANENT INVESTMENT. Get trees
grown I1f arest home. They are ac
climated and grown under same con-
ditions you want them ' to grow , and
where they can be had the quickest.
We bave 25 acres in our nurseries
and 40 acres in our bearing orchard.
