Washington Letter.
Washington, Feb. 20, 1909
ine msident elect and Mrs. Taft
have arrived in Washington and are
staving at the home of Miss Mabel
Boardman, whose connection with
the Red Cross Society of which M
Tat im D. , ,
laiiu iiraiueut manes ner name
known throughout the country. The
President elect is a welcome "visitor
at the White House and has spent
a large part of his time there since
his arrival. He has presented his
report on conditions in Panamt to
the President who appears to be
highly gratified by it and he has had
several conferences with Senator
Knox who will be his Minister of
State. The question of Mr. Knox's
eligibility for that position has been
settled by Congress both Houses
ooncuring in the passage of the bill
repealing the salary of the Secretary
of State and reducing it to the sum
paid before the salary increase was
made. Mr. Taft has not doubted
the willingness of Congress to make
this concession but he has feared
that Mr. Knox might feel called up
on to withdraw to avoid unpleasant
criticism. After the conference Tues
day though it was stated positively
that Mr. Knox would accept the
portfolio and it is not believed that
the Administration will be einbar
assed by any question to be raised in
the courts later as to the Senators
eligibility. ,
Mr. Taft accompanied to the
White House th e Engineers wb en
they presented their report on the
Panama Canal. The Canal report
contains twenty typewritten pages
and indorses in every particular the
lock type plan of construction and
Approves the progress and manage
ment of the work there. It was
sent to Congress by President Roose
velt Wednesday with a special mes
sage concerning the Canal in which
tho-Presidenf says that a change now
to the sea level plan would be inex
cusable folly.
These Are busy days at the White
House. The President's family after
a seven years residence there are col
lecting their Lares and Penates pre
paratory to their removal to the
borne at Oyster Bay, and the confu
sion that prevails in the upper and
private rooms of the house can only
be imagined by those who find it
cheaper to move than to pay rent.
All of the furnishings of the Execu
tive Mansion belong to the establish
ment and to separate these from the
personal belongings, the gifts and
acquisitions of a seven years resi
dence makes the task more difficult
and complicated. Preparations are
under way also for the reception of
the incoming President and as the
social season is at its height and
there are receptions and dinners and
dance? to be given or attended every
ay, and every night there is proba
ly not a busier or more distracted
family in the country than that of
9 Roosvelts. As there is also mucn
be done in getting ready for the
long trip which the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt will take immediate-
after the inauguration every mo
ment is filled with work. The Pres-
ideniTand his wife will sail for Na-
pie
es on the thirteenth of March and
the
precision with which their plans
made is evidenced by the fact
are
that ihnv will not return to the
White House after the inaugural

the custom for the President and the
President elect to ride to the Capitol
on Inauguration day and to return
along the route of the parade with
the new Pareaident occupying the
right band seat with the retiring ex
ecutive at his left, the reverse of the
relative positions in which tbey
made the trip to the CspitoL Two

believing that economy is the root

clothes that will wear well and bear

with indifference as to their effect.
Both however never err on the side

Tfce Sort ol School, tbe Sontb Needs.
But without disparaging the col
lege or ine university, l would say
that first of all, we must give great
er attention to tbe public schools,
It is in them that the farmer, tbe
average man, gets bis education.
We can not make our Southern
farmers adopt Iowa methods so long
as in the average Southern State,
there are five times as many white
farmers who can't read a farm paper
or fertilizer formula, as there are in
Iowa. We can not improve our
farming until we educate our farm
ers; we can not develop the South
until we develop our Southerners.
Nor is it enough that we have
longer public school terms; we must
have better public schools. And we
must make them train for life, for
practical things. Teach the farm boy
how cotton and corn and tobacco
may be improved by seed selection;
how a plant feeds; and how soils are
exhausted; what elements are found
in common feed stuffs, and which
make fat and which make muscle;
which cows make make money in
the dairy, and which should be se
lected for beet and a thousand
other things. Not only should the
elemonts of agriculture be a public
school Btudy in the rural district.
but there should be a revolution in
the text-books for other studies. In
your spelling-book, for instance,
where do you hod such words as
nitrogen, potash, protein, or even
such common farm words as clevis,
singletree, mattock, etc.? Made by
city people for city people, the
books and teaching have not been
adapted to the needs of the country
children. We shall take a long step
forward when the farm boy has pro
portionately fewer problems in ariih
metic about foreign exchange and
latitute and longitude and the met
ric system of weights and measures,
and more about how to calculate a
feeding ration for cows or a fertilizer
formula from certain quantities ot
potash, phosphoric acid and mtro
gen, ana wnen ne stuaies propur
tionately less about far-away Austra
lia and Kamchatka, and mors about

Prosperity ol Every Man Depends
Upon Prosperity of the
Average Man.
1 do not know whether or not it
has ever been worked out as a prin
cipln of political economy, but any
how it is u. questionably true that
wealth is by nature, not aristocratic,
out aemourauc. l ne poorer every
other man in, the poorer you are
The richer every other man is, th
richer you are. Every man whose
earning power is below par.-below
normal, is a burden on the com
mumty; he drags down the whole
level of lite, and every other man in
the com m unity is poorer by reason
of his presence, whether he be white
man, or negro, or what not. Your
un'rained, inefficient man is not on
ly a poverty-breeder for himself,
but the contagion of it curses every
man in the community that is guilty
of leaving him untrained. The law
of changeless justice decrees that
you must rise or fall, decline or pros
per, with your neighoor, You will
be richer for his wealth, poorer for
his poverty.
And so today every man who is
tilling an acre of land in tbe South,
so that it produces only half what
intelligently directed labor would
get out of it is a-burden orr4he com
munity, is dragging down the level
of life for every other man in the
community. Suppose you are his
follow-citizen; then because of his
inefficiency, his poverty, because of
bis failure to contribute to public
funds and public movaments, you
must have poorer roads, poorer
schools, a meaner schoolbouse and
court-house, a shabbier church,
lower-priced" lands; your teacher
will be more poorly paid, your
preacher's salary will be smaller,
your newspaper will have a smaller
circulation, your town will have a
poorer market, your railroad small
er traffic, your merchant smaller
trade, your bank smaller deposits,
your manufacturer diminishes pat
ronage, and so on and so on. From

As to Insurance.
Statesville Landmark.
A bill was recently introduced in
the Legislature to require the reg
istration ot fire insurance policies
with the clerk of the Superior Court.
Tbe idea was to hare this record of
policies open to the public so that a
property owner could know when
any of his neighbors were over-in
suring with a possible view of get-
ling burned out for profit. The bill
was reported unfavorably. Insur
ance Commissioner Young advises
that the same end can best be at
tained by making it a misdemeanor
for a property owner to over-insure.
Something ought to be done to
guard against over insurance and
The Landmark has always had an
idea that some sort of restrictions
should r e placed on in.-u ranee com'
panics as well as the policy holder,
Formerly and we are persuaded
the evil yet exists to some extent-
many insurance agents were so anx
ious to sell policies that they would
actually encourage over insurance.
That is, they would sell a policy
wherever possible, even if they knew
tbe property was already over in
sured. The right way and tbe just
way is to compel the insurance com.
panies to pay the face of the policy
unless they can show fraud. This
would compel them tomakeexamin
ation and know what they were doing
when they sold a policy. The insur
ance people have always had influ
ence enough with the law-makers to
prevent the enactment of such
measure, and have yet. Tbey don't
want it because it would force them
to take the trouble to know what
they were doing when they sold
policy. In many capes ignorant
people are persuaded into buying
more insurance than they can get in
case of fire, when tbey have no pur
pose to deceive. Thus the insur
ance companies take their money
for naught and in some cases know
ingly take it. The plea that the
insurance agent can't determine
the value of property is nonsense.
After the fire, when all the the prop
erty is in ashes, be can tell its vol
ue to tbe dollar.
Of course the Insurance compa
nies have all sorts of explanations to
show that' this sort of insurance
wouldn't do at all. But their ex
planations are exactly on par with
those of the railroad companies when
they undertake to tell why tbey in
some instances charge more for
hauling freight 500 miles than they
do for hauling it 1,000 miles they
are incomprehensible as a common
sense proposition.
In ticknese, if a certain bidden
nerve goes wrong, .then tbe organ
that this nerve controls will slso
surely fail. It may be a Stomach
nerve, or it may have give strength
and support to the Heart or Kid
neys. It was Dr. Sboop that first
pointed to this vital truth. Dr.
fehoop's Restorative was not mads
to dose tbe Stomach nor to tempo
rarily stimulate tbe Heart or Kid
neys. That old lashloned method
is all wrong. Dr. Shoop's Restore
tive goes directly to these failing in
side nerves. The remarkable suc
cess of this prescription demonstrat
es the wisdom of treating the actual
cause of these failing organs. And
it is indeed easy to prove. A aim
pie five or ten days test will surely
tell. Try it ooce, end seel 8ld
