The bent of the Ron. Robert M. LaFollette's mind, always a matter of moment, will Inevitably challenge at tention, now that It Is known that the Wisconsin senator will be a candidate for the presidential nomination. Not "that anybody expects Mr. LaFollette , to be successful in this latest enter prise. It Is certain, . nevertheless, that the "Lone Man of the Senate," as they used to call the senator before he brought to his support a loyal band of a dozen senators, will cause President Taft and his friends some anxious moments. Just the bare announcement of the fact ; that Mr. LaFollette wants the nomination will cause a flurry in the higher patronage circles, where polit ical advisers of the President have long feared that the Wisconsin sena tor would become a factor in the Presidential equation. These gentle men understand that the Senator is not without resources, that he will be in position to command support that Mr. Taft would like very much to have. Again, the candidacy of Mr. LaFollette cannot be construed as complimentary to the President, from any point in which It may be viewed by the Republican Progressives, and In assigning reasons for their sup port of Mr. LaFollette unkind things Will necessarily be said of Mr. Taft as a man who has fallen short of his duty as heir to the Roosevelt policies. In a contest of that kind the line of de marcation would be drawn Vleaily be tween the Btand-pat and progressive schools of Republican thought That such a campaign will inevitably con tribute to' the discomfort of Mr. Taft and his friends will be realized when It is recalled that the objections to Mr, Taft's renominatlon, which will be urged by the Progressives of his party, can be turned to political ac count by the Democrats, who may be expected to set up the cjulm that if Mr. Taft does not deserve a renom inatlon, if, according to the Progres sives, the really conspicuous friends of the people, Mr. Taft has erred in his alignment with the Aldrlch-Can-non wing of the party, then it will bo urged, there Is all the more reason why he shojld not be re-elected. Of course, as is usually the case, this method of campaign would op erate in two ways, and whether the President would lose thereby would depend upon conditions a year hence. The future of a number of statesmen Is- hanging tn the balance by reason of their support or opposition to the ; Canadian trade agreement If It is going to prove the boon to the produc ing and consuming classes that the ' President says It will, then the oppo , sltlon to the , President's "nomination Is likely tq flatten out very promptly, no matter by whom it Is led. A de pression In the prices of some of our staple products would as certainly rise up to plague the President and his political lieutenants, and Mr. La Follette would add materially to the support which he with some reason expects to command. He will have the very active assistance of Gifford Pinchot who, in turn, has , a strong ' following in some sections of the west, notably In California, In Oregon he should get some support through the combined efforts of Mr. pinchot and Senator Bourne, who no longer plays golf with the President The Min nesota Progressive League has launched the LaFollette boom, and ' he Is certain to have the aid' of Clapp and his friends when the time comes to go after the delegates." The Wis consin delegation will be for him, te a man.' Iowa Is likely to. be for 'him. Cummins Is for LaFollette because. In the first place, he expects the President to receive the nomination, believing, as he does, there is no way to break into the serried patronage ranks In the South; and. In the sec ond plum, he has shared the fear of most of the insurgent senators that , the next 1'rendient will be a Demo rrnt Iowa, therefore, will In all prob ability line up with LaFollette for the further reason, It may be added, that Iowa Republicans do not renlly look upon Mr. Taft as a Republican at .all. Out that way Republicans felt that It whs the mimt natural thing in the w,,rl,l when th president effected the Hi uuiment with southern iJemocrats I i hrinir iili.uit th enactment of the ij.i-n ny ) 1. 1 1 ion whl, h western I . ! .:!, M,.W with varying degrees of disapproval. Mr. Dixon, of Montana has shown no great fondness for Mr. ,Taft,- wlio stood by Tom Carter even after that person had been repudiated by his own people, while in Indiana - the Progressive Sentiment largely . pre vails, just as it does in other States where here and there " a delegate might be picked up. :, Wherefore, as we have before re- marked, while the candidacy of Mr. LaFollette may not be viewed with any great alarm by the custodians of Mr. Taft's political Interests, It is not a development which they will have any disposition to ignore. ' ' A THING OP DIGNITY AND UTIL ITY. .. - Only 94 boys of the Tenth congre sional district have sent in their ap plications for membership in the State Boys' Corn club. There will be about $100 to be distributed in prizes in this district, The list by counties Is: Madison, 5; Buncombe, 33; Henderson, 11; Transylvania, 3 Haywood, 11; Jackson, 4; Macon, 14; Swain, 2; Clay, 6; Cherokee, 6. Con siderlng these figures, it does seem n If we are making haste, in this sec tion, with great deliberation in this business, which is the grand Starting point of the revolution in agriculture now sweeping the country, carrying with it hope and blessing; a revolt! tlon which is to cure many of the gravest ills of our civilization, both aa they affect the people who live In the towns and country and the people dwelling in the towns and cities. There are some . newspapers . and some county authorities and some school officials who by a little more effort and a broader realization could have added to this number, in all the counties. These boys that are in the contest, few though they are in many of the counties, are pioneers. They are in the vanguard of progress. We should not, be surprised to learn that some one of these boys had achieved more for the benefit, the prosperity, of his county than either of its rep resentatives In the legislature. These boys should be honored and encouraged. They should be given to understand not only that the critical eye of the community is upon them, but also that the people of the com munity appreciate them and will give them credit and honor according to the effort they put forth. The more we see of this boys' farm demonstration work, the more thor oughly are we impressed with its util ity, Its dignity, Its weight. Its perma nence. It a somewhat like the grain-j of corn, with which it is so intimate ly connected. Although we are a little late in say ing so, we are both saddened and perplexed at the intelligence that Prof. G. c. Brlggs has left the Waynesville Courier to engage In the real estate business In Charlotte. Prof. Briggs has been a good neigh bor and we regret that western Caro- ina journalism loses him. Nor can we understand why a man should re linquish the delights of publishing a weekly newspaper and In Waynes ville at that to go Into the real es tate business and In Charlotte In summer, at that However, we wish him great success, and the same to Ms successor, P. M. Owlngs. The lat ter has already demonstrated that Prof. Briggs' mantle fell upon -worthy shoulder Whatever may be said of the hobble skirt It is not suitable for mountain trips. On mountain trips it is some times necessary for the ladles if they ride at all to ride cross-saddle. The catastrophe that took place on an oc casion of this kind, when such an at tempt was made, had better be im agined than described; nor would It be hard to picture the result. It strikes us that here Is where the harem skirt or pantaloon skirt would be in order. "While , Asheville is making so much fuss about a Western , North Carolina fair let the Haywood Coun ty Fair association quietly prepare, a usual, to give the people In western Carolina a fair to be proud of," ad vises the Canton Observer. We have no doubt that is just what the asso ciation intends to do,' and w sin cerely hope the Haywood fair will be more successful than ever and that is not to discredit past successes. High Point has passed an ordinance making It a "crime" and attaching thereto a penalty of five dollars for anyone to offer for sale ' within radius of one mile of the city limits any provisions of any description not properly screened to keep out flies. Asheville has an ordinance ot some what similar nature, which is neither a inclusive nor aa carefully regarded as It might be. , Shelby Highlander: Court square. Shelby, Is one of the prettiest spots to be found In any city or town of the United States. It was a great deal more than that before they tore down the old court house, on which time had laid , its beautifying hand, and whose simple, dignified architecture spoke eloquent ly of the long ago. We do not believe the good Ca tawba citizens are going to maintain the distinction given them by the scout party of having the worst roads between Bogue Sound and Buzzard's N'ent, "sxcept Madison, where there 'tra no roads." Imirlne, If you can, the surprise of tin Japanese gentleman who Is now sojourning in thiscountry, and .who until his arrival here supposed the telephone to be a necent Japanese In vention, y ; v v . Who will be the next, to, pledge $1000 toward the industrial develop ment fund; This movement means more salaried people to sell goods to, rent houses to. '. .' , ' Wonder what kind of fish frequent the waters of Hendersonville's under ground river; or whether they would respond to the "lure of the angler?' We hate to think what might be whispered and Insinuated around if this senatorial campaign wasn't on such a high and dignified plane. But for the fall of Adam there never would have been a lumber tar iff nor a wool tariff. Sir William Osier, if you please- and no thought of chloroform. Prof. Joseph wasHhe original gov ernment corn demonstrator. Is not lumber as good as wool? MB. JARRETT'S BOOK OF VERSES. "Back Home" and Other Pooins. by K; P. Jiirrctt of Dlllsboro, Recently IsMietl from Inland Pross. . R. P. Jarrett, a native of Buncombe county but for several years a resident of Dlllsboro, Jackson county, has proved himself a very versatile man Mr. Jarrett has been a drug store pro prietor, a general merchant, a success ful politician, and Is now well known as the proprietor of . the Jarretc Springs hotel; but Mr. Jarrett has lately added to his many accomplish ments by getting out a small booklet of verses. The title of the booklet Is Back Home." the leading piece being on that subject There ire several other shorter ones on various subjects. It will be hard to estimate the good that these verses will have and the in fluence they will exert on this move ment which Is receiving the attention of so many thinking people at this time. It is good to know that there are men in old North Carolina, who Are willing to give their best time and efforts to bring back the sons and daughters of the state, which now rers them better opportunities than they realize. If a few others would give as much time to this laudable ef fort as Mr. Jarrett has done, wo hould soon see results. The booklet was printed by the In land Press of this city anj the handl- ork Is excellent It is bound in light blue cover paper and presents a hand some appearance. :'.:.- Always something new at Theato. PARTANBUR9 BOOSTERS WILL BE HERE TOMORROW Between 75 and 100 Representatives of South Carolina City on Trade Winning Excursion. Asheville tomorrow will be privi leged to entertain for a few hours a representative body of men from Spartanburg, S. C, who' started this morning on a "boosting" trip in the interest of the South Carolina city. The party of - "boosters" is traveling in a special train of three Pullman and a baggage car and en route to Asheville and return, which will con sume three days, the representative!! will visit nearly two dozen places. The special train Is scheduled to reach Asheville tomorrow afternoon at 1:35. The party, numbering between 75 nnd 100, will take dinner here and leave at 4:30 o'clock for Hendersonvllle. Relative to the "trade booster" ex cursion the Spartanburg Herald today says: "A feature of the outing Is that nt no time, with the exception of tho few hours at Asheville, will the party be much over 50 miles from home, which means that should any be jailed back for any reason, they could reach home within a very short time. j "Miislc for the excursion will be fur nished by the Green Street concert and with 18 pieces. The members ol the band are going without cost to the party, other than actual expenses. In order to assist in advertising Spar-tant-nrg. , '-There was the greatest Interest yesterday In the excursion and tho ahamber of commerce office was a busy spdt Those unable to go ns wefl as those who were booked for the trip were dropping In to inquire about the outing. "Among those In the party is May-or-Uect O. L. Johnson. Mr. Johnson drew an upper berth, but he said thai would matter little. He is going for the good of the cause and to have a trip with the boys."

VINES WILL GO TO St. JOSEPH OH SEPT.1 So the Press-Newt ot That City State Says He Accepted the Call by ; Wire Last Friday. The positive statement that Rev. W. M. Vines, i D. D., pastor of the First Baptist church of Asheville, and now attending the big Baptist meet ing in Philadelphia, has 'accepted the call to the First Baptist church of St Joseph, Mo., is contained in a "local story published in the St. Joseph News-Press of last Friday. June 16; The News-Press says that Dr. Vines will assume the pastorate of ,the St Joseph church September 1. In the course of the story, which i.. printed with a picture of Dr. Vines, the paper says: , "The acceptance of the call extend ed Dr. Vines by the local church some weeks ago, mention of which " 'was made In the Press-News,: was ' con tained in a telegram received from the clergyman by the pulpit commit tee of the First Baptist church this morning." The St. Joseph paper says that the pulpit of the church to which Dr. Vines has accepted a pall has not been regularly occupied since the resignation of Dr. T. W. O'Kelly the first of January. v THE MARKETS New Tork, June 20. The stock market held steady at close . to last night's final prices in opening trans actions. Fluctuations were confined to small fractions. The greater num ber of changes represented advances. The market's tone was fairly strong. Fractional recessions cancelled the slight gains at the outset, forcing ac tive ten lures a" trifle below yester day's cl, sing. New buying orders were uncovered at lower levela The market rallied slightly and steadied. Fluctuations of stocks during the morning were unusually narrow. The market dull' to the point of stagna tion. Prices ruled slightly below yes terday's close. Traders were mostly bearish on account of further favor able advices regarding crop prospects.

Got No Salary, As president of the $20,000,000 su gar company for eleven years without ever having received a penny of sal ary was the light in which Mr. Post appeared at the beginning of the af ternoon session.. Representative Ra ker of California expressed surprise at the luck of the National Sugar Refin ing company in having a president without a salary, His questions led the witness to repeat that H. O. Have meyer about 1902, gave him $500,000 of the common stock of the National because I never received salary as president" Mr. Ftost also said that B. H. Howell.

H. .Howell, Bon & Co., Mr. Post said he received $50,000 to $60, 000 out of this $220,000. Replying to a rapid fire of questions from Repre sentative Sulzer, Mr. Post . declared ; that the American Sugar; Refining company, "through his brains , and high ability" and although interested in the National Sugar Refining com pany, never suppressed competition between them. There was never any concert in the management or the two i companies said Mr. Post, strange as It may seem, that is true.? "Why wasn't there?" asked Mr. Sulzer. - "You will have to ask the directors that" "Yu would have sold sugar much Cheaper If you had not watered your stock?" Mr. Sulzer inquired. Mr. Post objected to the use of the Word "watered" but to the question said, "No, Because the economies practiced by the company have more than oftset the dividends on the stock." . . ... . . ; . "Mr. Post, have you made any ef fort to get back- these $10,000,000 of stock?" inquired Representative Bul ser, referring again to th stock Havemeyer obtained by the organiza tion of the National Sugar Refining company of which Mr. Post is presl. dent. . , , , . ,.. . , ,. , ; .....
