The President Has "Played the Dickens" A(ala Offlciajs Rldinf at the Ex pense of the People Rotten- Bess in the District of Columbia Other Matters. Special CoiTeapondcuco Courier. Washington, July 27. The diplo matic mix-up oi the republican ad ministration on the Russian and Miiuchurian question is causing a great deal of hilarity here among Democrats and somo uneasy wonder nient among lepublicnii8 as to the Unal outcome. It is known here that the remarkable stutement lately given out by Assistant Secretary of Slate Loomis, during the abseuce of Secretary Hay, to the effect that the riishenetJ affair and the Alancliurian question concerning the open door policy were mtvi iwiueu auu luteruo pendent, and must, therefore be con sidered together, was inspired by no less a personage than President Roosevelt himself. When Secretary Hay hastened to Ojster Buy and in formed the President that he had "piuyed the dickens" in giving Loo mis any such instructions, the Presi dent quickly "side stepped" and left poor Loomis with the bug to hold, i'he veriest tyro in diplomacy wonld have known that the two questions had no more to do with each other than the Alaskan boundary dispute has to do with the Ureatlntt county feuds, Hnd Assistant Secretary Loom is probably knew it when he was promulgating the remarkable stute ment that went out to the country, but he was obeying the instructions of his chief who was simply trying to play some politics and got his "gee" leg over the "haw" traces. Secretary Hay's recent statement to the effect that he bud obtained Rus sia's consent to the open door in sev eral important ports in Manchuria has still further complicated matters. He made the unqualified statement that he had things "fixed." Now, Count Cassini, the Russian anilmssa dor to this country, comes out in a statement and says it isn't so, and that Secretary tlay said nothing to him about the matter, aud there you ate. So fur as the Kisheneff affair is concerned, public men here are con trasting the actions of two men in the matter. When the news of this massacre of Jews in Russia came to this country the first man to echo the cry of) iorror was Mr. William Hearst in his papers. Although he is a gentile himself, he immediately commenced the collection of a relief f iiud for those poor, persecuted peo ple, heading the list with a generous douation from his own pocket He not only did this, but he demanded justice for the Jews and sent a spe cial coniBiisiouer to the scene of the massacre in the person of Michael Davitt, the well-known Irish Mem ber of Parliament This had the effect of rousing Russia to action in the matter, otder was lestorea ana some of tho leaders in the massacre were arrested and the Governor of the Province was dismissed from office. Mr. Hearst s action was dic tated br humauitarianism and his innate love of justice. The action of the President of the United States in this Kisheneff mattei has laid him open to the charge of trafliuking for votes in a manner mat is on a par with a methods of a ward heeler. He first blew cold and then he blew hot He ienored the matter com pletely until h. was called on by a committee of influential Jews, who asked him to present a petition to the Czar of Kussia setting iortn tne woes of the unfortunate Jews in his Empire. U then proceeded to get very brtsy.' He gave out statements from the State Department as to what he was going to do, ana now he was eoine to do it He knew that the changes would be rung on the press of the country until the Jews of the country would begin to think he was their greatest anu oest fnnd and grapple them to him with hoops of steel. He also knew that the thing would go so far that Rus sia would be compelled to take cog nizance of it and announce ner poli cy in the matter. Russia has done so, and announces that she will not receive any suggestions trom aiiy- tuulv nminurninir hnr internal notl- cies. At this rtooscveii uiu uuwu like a steer in the road," washes his hands of the whole affair, says he has done all he can for the Jews and that ends the matter. This is not the first time the President has play ed petty politics, nor is it the first time he ever went "bear" hunting and came back empty-handed. at - A mod manv people who cannot ha accused of boodlinz. nevertheless are sticking their hands down in the pockets of other people just at this time. Nearly every man who is high enough up on the pay rolls of tne Uovernment seems to oe seizeu witn an insane desire to go out on a junk eting trip this summer at the ex pense of the people. The Secretary of the Navy, not long ago, took out a big bunch; oi congressmen ana took a whis around the West Indies on a government vessel and the peo- Eieraiatne mil. iraucm. .truly then took his "private yacht" which is a government vessel, and nroceeded to their summer nome at, Oyster Bay. The vessel is always read for um for pleasure parties for the Roosevelt children, going to boat nuv or takine Miss Alice to the city when she feels that she needs a nmr of tvini. Not long ago the members of Cou cress who were on the Naval Affairs Committee in the last House, took a government vessel aud started ont on a junkt with the Mtngible purpose of inspecting the difierent fortiueations along the coast of the country, and the naval needs of the country. Whut right those members have to make the- people pay for any such trip is mere than any man can tell. Xhere is no nth cial naval committee in existence, so far as tho House of Representatives is concerned. How do taese men know they will be placed on the Committee on Wavul Affairs when the next House is organized? They do not know it, and yet they are squandering the people's money for the ostensible purpose of posting themselves on the needs of the peo ple in the way of naval expcndi tnres. The chances arc they will see more "high balls" than they will cannon balls, and more "kings and "iiueens" than they will naval neceS' sities. Postmaster General Payne, who has been made "tick, presum ably by smelling the stench in his department is the latest to take a government vessel, and, with his family get out on the deep blue sea where he can smell the perfume of tne oriue insteuu oi oinciui corrup tion. And the people pay the bill. Well, why shouldn't they? They are responsible for the millions accu mulated in the Tieasury. They vot ed a tariff tax on themselves that would pile up a surplus of cash in the treasury, a id this is the only way to get it buck into the channels of trade, unless tuey tako a notion to quit taxing themselves for the bene fit ot trusts, tariff barons and junk eters. Until they do they may ex pect that a Republican administra tion, guiltless of sympathy with the people, will continue to have a good time with their money and "blow it in" like a drunken sailor. Aside from the boodling and rot tenness that is coming out of the departments m this city, the govern ment of the District of Columbia is being shown up just now, and it is about the most ramshackle and lltni' sy affair, to be called the government of a great city, that uny man ever J heard of. A young clerk, whose salary was $1,400 a year, was allow ed to steal about $75,000 in the past live years for the reason that his books were never checked. His em ployers suw this young man plung ing at the races, buying an interest all sorts of busineses, riding around in a "red devil" automobile, and playing the "high roller" gener ally, and yet they never checked his n'i.... ll .1.... uuurb. xueiu is uniuij u-j jra by that something crooked, some thing rotten, or something loose does not turn up in the District of Co lumbia building. There seems to be a lust of loot, a riot of rapacity and a fiduciary fandango in the capital of the nation. Long lease of power hath made the Republicans money mud, and they are simply taking whut they want and askiug no odds. When the people get urea 01 u incy kuow how they can stop it. It is up to them. The President has suddenly lam med into the labor unions of the country, and somelof.y is going to come out second best in a fight that will be 011 in funons fashion pretty It seems that a man named Miller, an assistant foreman in the book-bindinir department of the gov ernment printing oflice, was expelled from his union for good and sufll cient cause. As the unions have been entrenched iu tho government printing oflice in recent times, they have insisted that only members of the union in cood standing shall be employed there, and the consequence was that Miner was uisuusseu iiom his position. He immediately begun a fight He appealed to the Civil Service Commission and to the Pres ident He has been sustained by both. The President practically says to the labor unions that they may expel any man they please, but they must work under him whether they are in goou suiuuing in ine union or not The man has been reinstated, ami now it is up to the unions. It is their move. CHARLES A. EDWARDS. "Old Nick" Operating. The fact thut the old Old Nick Whiskey Company is still doing bus iness in North Carolina is a source of much annoyance to the Republi cans who, in failing to comply with the strict letter of tho Watts law, have been put out of business. In view of this fact the Republi can officeholders are Lot allowing any grass to grow nnder their feet in the way of making tronblo for him. Only recently about $16,000 worth of liquor was seized by tho govern ment and is now held in Greensboro awaiting the hearing of the ''-ase bo fore Judge Boyd. Since that time the Old Nick Whiskey Company has filed bond and is now running as UBnaL When approached on this subject Mr. Williams did not care t discuss ti.c iicent seizure of his property. He considers that this is a case lor the government to decide and he feels sure that the decision will be in his favor. Of course, under the circumstances Mr. Williams is not among the fa- vnrd in the Republican ranks. He is a staunch Democrat and has al ways been. Charlotte News. Protectiflf Shade Trees.

Two freight trains near Round Knob were derailed Thxrday of last week, tut little damage was done. At Auburn, Wake county, on the same day, an east-bound mixed train on the Southern Railway, while un loading freight, was run into bv an extra freight. Both engines were badly damaged, llie engineer on the extra freight was hurt and Fire man S. J. Sowers, of the same train, was dangerously injured. He wus thrown many feet and struck on his head. On the same dav, train No 34, northbound, run into the rear eud of a freight train standing on the main line of the beuboaid atUikuview una somewhat demolished the engine. The trouble resulted from a failure of the flagman to get far enough away to Hag the incoming passenger train. Ucbiucs the damage to tne engine uud bruisiug'up the engineer and fireman to some extent the dam age was not of 11 serious nature. The Thrills In the Gills of the Stills- are the Cause of the Kills in Kentucky. Kentucky's hills are full of nils And nil the rills are lined with stills, And all the stills are full of gills, And all the gills ure full of thrills, And all the thrills ure tall ot kills.

When it became necessary to administer the outh 110 one present had a Bible. Dr Braxton Craven, who happen ed to be near, pulled from his pocket a Greek testament aud offered it to the magistrate. Serious objections weie raised by the crowd, some saving that ;t would not do to use that kind of hook. Dr Craven replied: "The Greek testament is the best testament we have." The magistrate used it iu adminis tering the oath, but the crowd had serious doubts about the propriety ef the thing. We suppose less objections would have been raised if the magistrate had used Ilium's Almanac, a publi cation, which in those days ranked next to the Jiible, 111 the estimation of many. 9 Child Burned to Death. iV very sad occurrence was the burning of a bright seven-year-old white loy on Smith street, near Macedonia, 011 last lhursuay mom Mi".

AuktAkkik. DEMANDED EVERYWHERE. Amrrlcaui Awakening to the Valve of (iood llla-hwari. The awakening of America to the value of cood roads Is one of the most remarkable things of the InBt deende. For perhaps twenty-five years the voice of the prophet has been heard here nnd there In tho United States, ns In Massa chusetts mid New Jersey and perhaps elsewhere, but practically these were the voices of men crying out Iu the wilderness. Foreign travel has brought acquaint ance with foreign good roods, aud men have come buck determined to do their utmost to tniiisform the I'nlted States from a Innd of highways co bad that language falls to do Justice to the sub ject luto highway so attractive that everywhere there Is ease of transporta tion nml of mimmintcntlou and the Joy of living In the country without feeling absolutely cut oft frum access to the city. Nowhere Is this movement for good road more remarkable, according to the Manufacturers' ltecord, than In the south country. This begins In the re gion south of the rotoinae with the projection nnd construction of lnterur- bnn trolley lines. The trolley lines, now amounting to thousands of mUes In the total, nro followed by the deter mination to make the roads suitable for travel nt all seasons of the year. Nothing enn be told old soldiers of the nature of Virginia roads hi winter. They simply nro more famous or Infa mous, as the case may be, than other roads because so much more of history has been neted over them. But every where throughout the south, as the Record shows, there are a general awak ening mid a universal dcrunnj for ln tcnirban railways and with tlflit a like demand for tho highways with the hard surface in other words, for the good road that Is always ready for business and Is Invaluable for every country thnt builds it. ROAD REPAIRING. Bow to Krrp a Illshwar m Good Condition. In a paper read recently before a farmers' institute Charles Williams of Connersvllle, Ind., gave tho following interesting points on road ropnlrlng: Now, some points ou hovy to keep roads in good condition ind huvr to re pair them. A road must have constant attention if it Is to be of any use or value. "Whenever a rut forms It should be repaired at once. The road should be graded In tho spring (bid graveled In OiWPBOVXD BOAU. the fall. Tho road Mill then bo hard nnd smooth and tho gravel will ho packed down, but not worn out, before bad weather sets In. It depends on what shape tho crown of the rond Is In what the condition of the road will bo for travel through the winter. If the crown is In good shape it will shed the water to the side ditches, aud if they are in good shape tho road will remain dry and solid. 'Now, I will tell a few ways to spo.i good roud: "Tho surest way Is to use tho road grader and pile all the mud, sod and weeds from the sides and ditches Into the center of the rond. This makes the road soft nnd muddy, nnd it will bo Impossible for tho next cont of gravel to unite with tho old roadbed. Tho re sult Is the road will be spongy. Tho tiest plan Is to scrnpe It up Into plies and haul It to some gully, of which nil roads have a few, and dump It there. The road grader Is a good road builder in the hands of a ninn that knows how to nso It, but otherwise ho will do a great deal of damage. uoihcr way to spoil a road Is to make tho crown so steep that all the travel will lake the center. The result Is tho road is worn out in the center nnd no use has been made of the re mainder of the road. Tho center Is cut up by three gulleys, which hold water nnd ennse the road to be soft and mud dy when It would otherwise bo in good shape-" Tho I'rraldent on Good Rad. Ill his uddrrss before the national good roads convention President Roose velt made some good points. Among other things he said: It Is the habit of road building tbat gives to a people pennsneut greatness. The development of the Iron rona has been all that one could wish, but It Is mere presumption to couslder good railways as substitutes for good high ways. We want to see cities built up, but not at the expense of the country dis tricts. If the winter means to the average farmer a long line ot liquid morasses through which he must painfully force his team If bent ou business and through which h must wade or swim If bent on pleasure, if an ordinary rain storm means that the farmer's boy and girl cannot use their bicycles, you have cot to expect that those who live In tho rural districts will not find farm life attractive. We should all encourage any check to the unhealthy flow from the country to the city."

Bret Warn of Fvrtlllaln Flrld Crone of Varloae VtsotaMe. Of much value nnd Interest to truck growers Is the experience of two Eng lish gardeners In tho manuring of veg etable crops. Their experiments have been under way for seven years. Some of the conclusions arrived nt are as follows: WltlKlieets sulphate of potash, in the absence of manure. Increased the yield three tons per acre. In every case plats fertilised with the lesser amount of manure nnd commercial fertilizers greatly exceeded In yield the'heavlly manured plats. With broccoli a moderate application of commercial fertilizers has produced on the average as good results as when supplemented by twefve and one-half tons of manure. With tills crop the use of looioundx of nitrate of soda per sere proved most economical. The average results for five years with cauliflowers show that twelve and one-half tons of manure, supplemented with n light dressing of phosphates nnd 400 pounds of nltrato of'noda, pro duced lietter results .than commercial fertilizers alone, but the commercial fertilizers alono gave better results than twenfy-flve tons of manure alone. Commercial fertilizers In this case not only Increased the size of tlio beads, hut uniformly Improved the quality. The formula recommended for this crop Is 12'3 tons of nionure, 400 to COO pounds of superphosphate, 400 pounds of knlnlt nnd 400 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre. The heaviest yield ot brussels sprouts was obtained by the use of twCnty-fivo tons of manure, supplemented with 200 pounds of nitrate of soda, with potash In addition. A moderate quantity of manure was found very desirable with fall set cab bages. It Is recommended that this be supplemented with GOO pounds of good phosphates per acre and nitrate of soda up to miO pounds applied at two or three different times. I'otnsh has been found very desirable In tho production of carrots. When potash hns been used Iu connection with phosphates and 300 pounds of ni trate of soda per acre the average year ly increase of roots hns been nearly three tons per acre. The heaviest celery plants were ob tained when the largest amount of ma nure was used, but plants raised with tho aid of commercial fertilizers have been much erlsper and more tender thnn plants 'grown with manure alone. Nitrate of soda appeared to render the growth moro. rapid and to diminish tbe strength nnd toughness of the flbrovas cuhir bundles ns compared with plants grown by the old of manure alone. With lettuce also it has been noticea that plants grown with the the nitrate of soda have been inncTi erlsper nnd more tender than those grown with WiflT ffpTllfti or summer onions the use of 200 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre In conjunction with potash and phosphates, with a light dressing of nnre, has given a better yield tuan with a heavy dressing of manure. Com mercial fertilizers without the manure gave much less " satisfactory results than with the manure. With parsnips, ns with carrots, pot ash seems to be especially desirable, the yields being Increased from one to one nnd a half tons per acre when this fertilizer was used over plats similarly fertilized, but without potash. In the ease of early potatoes the heaviest yields have been obtuined by use of twenty-live tons or manure per acre. Willi the late crop nerrer yields have been obtained by using half this amount of manure supple mented with commercial fertilizers. In the experiments with potatoes the use of potash hns regularly resulted In In creased yields. The Increase, however, hns been much less with early potatoes than with late potatoes. I'otasli has proved esieelally desira ble for summer spinach, and particu larly so on pints which were not ma nured.
