Frank , Parker, assistant In the boys' corn club work of the State ile partment of agriculture, discussed ujjms and prospects with The Gazette- " Slews today.' Mr. Parker Is the sort of man with whom boys like to work, and with whom they easily established relations of mutual confidence and respect. He bears testimony to what has been , hitherto observed that generally speaking the boys' demonstration work Is of healthy, vigorous growth in those counties where the superintendents of education are active and alert, and where the superintendent Is neglecting It, It Is lagging. , Here and there one finds a county superintendent of education who is simply a little politician. His main business in life is to hold onto his job through political manipulation and to act as one of the greasers and tenders of the political machine. A good deal of talk is heard in various parts of the State of making the office of county superintendent elective. Add one more name to the ballot; it Is already so long as to preclude the possibility of real popular government; so what Is the difference? Recognize the su perintendent for what he is, In many cases just another cheap politician. It is a fine idea. These observations are not Mr. Parker's, however. But In many of the counties the superintendents are alert, Imbued with the educational spirit of the times; re alizing that the most Important idea, from a material standpoint, to the people of this State is the boys' corn contests. And from counties so bless ed come reports of wonderful enthusi asm and interest. There the boys who enroll in the corn clubs stay in, or a large percentage of them do. There they are being organized into clubs, electing officers among themselves; real clubs, and not merely clubs In name. Through these organizations they keep in touch with one another and the whole work. The necessity for such organization Is obvious. With out It the boys are working along blindly. They are in an organization, and yet each is isolated. Their organ ization Is to no extent self-government. All the encouragement there is for them through the long hot days Is the small chance of Winning one of the main prizes. An occasional circular letter from the de partment, giving them advice, and the generalities they may see In the news papers are all they hear of the matter .from planting until harvest, perhaps. There are three other matters that Mr. Parker regards as of vital Import ance. First of these Is the provision of ways and means for sending two of the boys to the grout corn show In Columbia, where they will rub elbows with hundreds of other boya who have achieved success and become thor oughly saturated, so to speak, with the spirit of unfermsnted corn. Su perintendent Reynolds has undertaken to attend to this. Next, he wishes all the boys In the county club to be given a dinner, after the crop is gath ered, at one of the Ashevllle hotels This bamjuet gathering will be some thing in the way of a reward for every boy to look forward to; It will be a prize for. oach one. It Is to be a square meal with fixing and anyone attempting to make a speech will be thrown out the window. At this meet ing each boy should be given one of the beautiful gold medals, the certifi cate provided by the national depart ment of agriculture for all boys who have tended a crop and kept a faithful record. to the boys. It gratifies a boy for thii man to visit blm, look at his crop and advise him. The boys realise that their work is appraised and appreclat ed by one who knows his business. They are given encouragement just when it Is needed, and kept in the contest. The various counties In the district contribute equalily to the sal ary; or If one county gives more than another, that county gets a pro rata of the superintendent's time. We shall have these superintendents in North Carolina, sooner or later; In all proba bility, later. We should reach the point Georgia has reached by, say, about 1940. MR. COOPER'S LETTER. An appeal to Georgia Democrats in behalf of Underwood by T. 3. Cooper of Ashevllle, now engaged In lumber ing In Georgia, Is today reprinted from the Augusta Chronicle of April 30.- ,-' We agree with little that Mr. Cooper says except what he says in admlra tlon of Underwood; but we agree with the Chronicle's editorial appraisal of it as a forceful and well written ar tide. Mr. Cooper is a. writer of tal ent. The Chronicle commends the letter most heartily to the considera tion of Georgia Democrats. Mr, Cooper we believe Is unduly disturbed about, the political situation which confronts the nation. We fail to follow the loglo which calls for the nomination by the Democrats of the exact antipodal of Mr. Roosevelt in character. Nor are we willing, for that matter, that Mr. Underwood shall be so labeled. However, many Demo crats agree with Mr. Cooper, and do not think as we do that Democracy has a man who can poll more votes next November than Mr. Underwood can. We are advised by some Demo cratic observers that indications point 9trongiy to Underwood carrying North Carolina. It looks very much as If he is going to carry this district; and if he does Dr.. Weaver will be a hard man to hold. It will be a privilege and a great personal satisfaction to southern men, after ail these years, to vote for one who can with some measure of verity be called a southerner; a man who is so worthy, so admirable and appar ently so well qualified to fill the ex ited office of President. Whether they would be warranted in any degree of confidence In his elec tion is, we are still persuaded, alto gether a different matter. father and a Christian gentleman and came as near devoting his entire lite to the cause of education as anyone of this section of the country, having taught continuously for SO or 40 years. In his death the state sustains a great loss and the cause of education a staunch friend. J. C. PRITCHARD. Ashevllle, May S, '12. ROOSEVELT TERMS TAFT A FALSIFIER SENATOR TILLMAN. Senator Ben Tillman of South Caro lina Is asking the people of South Carolina to return him to office on the strength of his public record and ithout an active canvass, from which he is debarred by physical infirmity. 1 have a strong desire to die in har ness for sentimental reasons only," he tolls the people of his State but goes to say: "If I knew you wanted me to surrender It (the senutorshlp, I would gladly lay It down conscious that I have always done my dut tn the best of my ability." Senator Tillman's statement Is elo quent In Its simplicity, and he puts his case none too strongly. He did go to the senate "under a cloud of obloquy" which he ascribes "to newspaper buse at home," fierce as that which now assails Bleasc and he has fought his way In spite of it." News paper abuse at home probably was not the sole reason for the disfavor with hich Senator Tillman was met when he entered national politics; but the public slowly came to realize the man's sterling qualities, and time and xperience have wonderfully develop ed Tillman. He has become a national asset His re-election without per sonal effort on his part would be a fitting return for long and distingulsh- public. service. ed in North Carolina there are about 8:00 boys enrolled; In Georgia there are this year some 14,000 a great increase over last year. The princi pal explanation la district superin tendents. The government pays the expensee ol these, and the districts pay tlillr Milurlea for six or seven months. In Georgia, one district em ployed a superintendent, ' and other dldtrlcls became jouloua.

A Republican vote in South Carolina now has a weight in the national con- entlon equul to about 60 Republican voters In Ashevllle. Under the present plan of apportionment the few Repub licans In a State at the mouth of the Mississippi have as much weight In the national convention as the many thousands in a State at the head of that stream. Such a resolution, com. ing from southern Republicans, is go ing to create a profound Impression at Chicago. Looks as If the Presidency Is going lf cost a good deal more than It la worth, whoever gets It. This weather somehow calls to mind the dear T. P. A. national conven tlon. ,'..,.-.

Editor of The Oasette-News: Prof. James B: Luniford died at Connelly Springs on the 2th day of last month. The death of Prof. Luns- rord wan a great shock to his many friends residing In Madison, Buncombe end other western counties. For number of years after the war he taught at Mars Hill college, and while there he Won the respect, confidence and admiration of all classes of peo pie. He wae a good citizen, a kind (Continued from page 1.) he prosecuted the Standard Oil and tobacco, companies to the Supreme court and got decisions there. On the contrary, Mr. Taft knows well that I criticized him, not for having thus continued the prosecution of the suits that J had. begun, but because after he had gotten these decisions he then permitted the department of justice so vto shape matters that the result was a complete nullification of all the good results of his suit. Harvester Stock Cp, Too. "His conduct in this respect Is quite incompatible with any sincere pur pose really to enforce the anti-trust law. As a result of his action the stocks of the corporations in question rose greatly In value, the rise in Standard Oil stocks being over $200, 000,000. Mr. Taft can hardly have failed to notice that following his in stitution of a suit against the harves ter trust, harvester stock went up two points. "Evidently Wall street has made up ita mind that Mr. Taft's prosecu tions are fake prosecutions, whereas the bitter hostility of Wall street to me shows how lively is its memory of the fact that my prosecutions were really prosecutions and hurt the par ties prosecuted." Col. Roosevelt refers to the pend Ing Investigation of Judge Archbald of the Commerce court and asserts that the judge was appointed to pla cate a Pennsylvania politician, al though the appointee's alleged unfit ness for the office had already been called to the president's attention, the statement continues: "In Kentucky and Indiana and In New York city and elsewhere Mr. Taft knows well that the delegates elected for him represent barefaced frauds. He stands guilty of conniv ance at and condonation of these frauds; he stands guilty of approving and encouraging fraud which deprives the people of their right to express their will as to who shall be nom inated. In all these primaries and conven tions I have stood for absolute hon esty and fair play. Mr. Taft has stood for crooked misrepresentation of the will of the people. "As for the Lorimer case, the facts are these: I fought Mr. Lorimer hard and in the open for 18 months. Orig inally Mr. Taft was secretly against Mr. Lorimer. As the Illinois pri maries approached Mr. Taft's oppo sition vanished. Almost all of Mr. Taft's followers In the senate sup ported Mr. Lorimer. Mr. Lorimer was the leading Taft worker In Illinois. As long as there was hope that Mr. Lorimer might carry the state for Mr. Taft. Mr. Taft kept quiet about Mr. lorimer. But as soon as Illinois was lost Mr. Taft rushed to Massa chusetts, where there were no Lori mer votes, and repudiated Mr. Lorimer."
