Theodore Roosevelt a welcome Fri
day which he described as "Great, by
George!"
, Throughout the first day of his first
southern trip, which took him across
Virginia and a part of Tennessee, he
received all the honors which the
south can pay.
Colonel Roosevelt started the day
with the determination to keep as
quiet as possible and not to make
many speeches, because his throat isv
not yet in good condition. But wher
ever he went a crowd was waiting for
him. Each crowd was out to cheer
and did cheer until he made a speech.

doctrine which he announced on his
recent western trip and emphasized

cisms which have been directed
against it and said that it was not re

to put a stop to things which might
bring on a revolutionary movement.

words about his fight in New York
state, saying he was trying to im
prove conditions there.

are going to do it."

were delivered at Bristol, Tenn., and
it Knoxville.

after the political bosses, saying that

spoke in the afternoon and again at

people at home. All of East Tennes
see poured out its people and several
thousands were here from Virginia.

!rom Chattanooga, which escorted
Colonel Roosevelt from the train to
the exposition grounds, bad its hands
full in piloting him through the
crowds to the steps of the exposition
hall to review a floral parade. As the

the band played "Dixie" and the peo
ple cheered. The presidential salute
of twenty-one guns was given for
him.

to brand the net weight on packages
sold in Nebraska. It has -been ar
ranged that O. J. King, groceryman,

of testing the state food law in the

law provides that the net weight of
food packages shall be stamped on

fused to comply with and up to this
time State Food Commissioner Mains
has taken no legal action.
State Corporation Tax Smaller.
It is estimated that the state's an
nual license tax upon corporations
will bring in less than was received
last year. The first year the tax was
imposed It resulted in the collection
of considerably more than $72,0G0.
This year it is estimated that the tax
will be about $60,000. The tax is de
linquent September 1 and corporations
that have not paid the tax and a $10
penalty by November 30 are subject
to cancellation of charter. Up to date
$57,905.SO has been collected for the
tax of 1910. There are 8.000 delin
quent corporations. Not more than
half of these are expected to pay the
tax. because many corporations have
been consolidatled and swallowed up
by parent corporations for the express
purpose of evading the tax.
Raised the Price.
The state board of purchase and
supplies has been notified of an in
crease in the price of coffee. The

coffee that costs 15 cents a pound.
The board has been buying 15-cent
coffee for use in state institutions,
the officers of such institutions being
excepted from the use of such grade,
but now It has been informed that at
least 4 cents a pound more will be
asked for this coffee by jobbers.
Plan for 1911 Fair.
Secretary Mellor of the state board
of agriculture has already heard from
most of the firms that made machin
ery exhibits at the 1910 state fair ask-in-
to save the same space reserved
for them next year.
f To be deluged with requests of this
kind at so early a time -is an unexpect
ed experience for the board. Individu
al Arms have sometimes put in a bid
for their old space immediately after
the fair, but the majority usually do
not show such haste.
Officers for the coming year for the
state association of photographers
are: President, R. C. Nelson, Hastings;
firist vice-president. W. S. Soper. Ne
braska City; second vice-president
W. A. Thorn. York; secretary. R. R.
'Roszell. Beatrice; treasurer, Arthur
Anderson, Wchoo. The convention
was held at Lincoln.
Recently it was reported that the
state board of public lands and build
ings proposed to buy the shirts dam
aged by flood in the penitentiry store
house. Some one has called the atten
tion of the board to the fact that its
contract with the. maker of the shirts
provides that shirts made by convict
labor shall be shipped out of the state.
Under this contract the shirts mu.
first be shipped out of the state to
Chicago or Council Bluffs before they
can be bought by the state for use at
state institutions.

guard to Fort Riley, Kas.. a few weeks
