I OVER THEIR DELEGATES
Supporters of Speaker Clark
and ex-Govemor Folk Have
Clash in Missouri
By Associated Press.)
ST. LOUIS. Dec. 2».—United States
Senator Stone, of Missouri. aroused
much interest among politicians on his
arrival here this week by giving out a
statement containing hia seven rea
sons why Speaker Champ Clark should
be the Democratic nominee for the
presidency.
Today Democratic leaders are out
with statements assailing Mr. Stone foi
hia course, and a fight for the state
dMegaoon to the Democratic national
convention is going on openly in St.
Louis.
The fight arises from the fact that
Hw the Democratic nominees' convention in
» !»!•, of which Speaker Clerk was chair-
man. indorsed Joseph W. Folk, former
F governor, as Missouri’s choice for the
presidency. For some time, friends of
Folk, in the name of the Missouri <
Democratic league have maintaineo
headquarters to promote his claim for
the presidency. Recently friends of
the speaker opened headquarters for
him. Neither Clark nor Folk has hau
anything to say about their candidacies,
-but their friends have carried on a
war of words and the contest became
warm with the presence of both Clark
and Stone here this week.
The speaker did not call on Folk
and Folk did not visit him. Stone
came two Jays ago and has spent much
time at the Clark headquarters and
has given a statement to the news
jh pepers containing his reasons for pro
rooting the Clark candidacy.
Judge W. N. Evans, of West Plains.
< former Democratic t state chairman,
gave a statement today deploring
Stone's course and declaring leaders in
Washington no longer could issue or
ders to the people of the state.
The speaker's friends take the ground
that the state convention indorsement
of Folk is not binding and that the
voters in the end should decide who is
the choice of Missouri Democrats, but
no definite steps have been made to
ward a primary

INCREASED DEFICIT IS
BEOUEftTHED BY 1911
Principal Cause Falling Off of
Customs Receipts and In
creased Navy Expense
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. I.—The dying
year 1911 is bequeathing the federal gov
ernment a materially increased deficit,
as compared with the close of 1910, tp ,
be wiped out, if possible, during the*’
remaining half of the current fiscal
The general fund, representing the ajCall
able resources of the treasury Bviowed
a big growth, on the otner hand, due to
the sale of $50,000,000 In Panarha canal
bonds, during the year. j
While Secretary MacVeagh had not
received complete returns} when the
treasury closed its doors J today it is
known that the disburseiylents exceeded
the receipts during the lalst six months,
exclusive of the Panajaa canal financial
operations by a bowl' $22,000,000, while dur
ing the corresponding period last year
the deficit was $3,870,000. The prin
cipaJ causes of/Ke Increased deficit were,
a falling ofT/of probably $10,000,000 In
customs r«aeipts and an increase of
in the cost of the navy
last half year, as compared
same period in 1910. Approxi
mately $152,000,000 were received from
receipts during the last six
•ifenths, while at the close of Decem
ber last year this source of revenue
had yielded $162,000,000. The navy has
cost about $70,000,000 up to date this year.
The disbursements during the first half
of the last fiscal year were $63,000,000.
The month of December made a par
ticularly poor showing, its deficit being
$2,000,000, while the deficit for November
was only $460,000. December’s receipts
amounted to approximately $52,000,000.
The general fund today amounts to
approximately $127,000,000, including
about $70,000,000 actually in the treasury’s
cash drawer. A year ago the general
fund was $89,000,000 and the working bal
ance $37,000,000.
The amount of gold today In posses
sion of the United States, the greatest
gold holding nation in the world, was
approximately $1,182,000,000 in coin and
bullion, distributed among the reserve,
trust and general funds of The treasury.
The Panama canal has cost up to date
about $260,000,000. Os this $120,000,000 has
been paid out of the treasury’s general
fund, the remainder representing the
proceeds from the sale of bonds. The
total cost of the waterway is estimat
ed at $375,200,000. During the six months
just closed $18,000,000 was spent on the
ditch, as compared with $20,000,000 during
the same period last year.
SIR FRANCIS BACON WAS
DESIGNERJ)FjAEROPLANE?
Dr. Owen Thinks Bacon Was
Author Shakespeare Plays
and Inventor
DETROIT, Jan. I.—Following closely
on the announcement by Dr. Orville W.
Owen that his researches in England for
proof that Francis Bacon wrote the plays
of William Shakespeare, are fast nearing
completition, comes the admission of the
doctor that Sir Francis is the inventor,
or at least the designer, of an air ship.
"We haven’t discovered the air ship,”
says the doctor, "but we have found de
scription of one in our excavations in the
River Wye, tvhich are undoubtedly the
work of the man whom we are certain is
the author of the plays attributed to
Shakespeare. And he, of is Sir
Francis Bacon.”
"When do you intend to make these
plans or descriptions public?” the doc
tor was asked.
"Only when we find them In their en
tirety. Our real mission is to find the
plays and the conclusive evidence of their
authorship. When we have done that
we may turn to the other matter. But
at present it is only secondary to us,
no matter what its significance to the
world of science may be.”

TIFT'S OWN TTBBITODI
Wisconsin Candidate for Pres
idency Makes Spech in Home
Town of Taft
(By Associated PreM.)
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. 30.-From the
same platform in Music hall from which
President Taft delivered his opening ad
dress in the campaign for the presi
dency in 1907, Senator LaFollette tonight
spoke to a large audience of Cincin/
natlans. J
It probably was the most trying ordeal
of Mr. LaFollette’s trip through Ohio,
inasmuch as his voice, made husky, by
his strenuous journey thus far, did’" not
carry to walls of the immense /audi
torium and as a consequence he re
peatedly interrupted by cri/es of
“Louder.” J
As at Dayton last night, Wiscon
sin senator's necktie and colls/r botharetl
him early and it was only ,a few mo
ments after he began speaking that he
removed these troublesome articles.
Senator LaFollette wei/t after tha
trusts, declaring that the-, courts have
carefully protected investors in trusts
against the loss of values. The only
instance where the extreme penalty of
three fold damages has been imposed
is in the case of labfjr organizations.
Mr. LaFollette tjtien told how the
court has gone to tjie extent of seizing
upon the savings o J £ members of a la
bor Organization aind had ordered that
these little investilnents should be paid
over, as far as tuey go, j toward giving
the employers t iree times their dam
ages that the'Xmion has caused them.
The people haA just as much interest
in having a h/gh standard of living for
labor as they! are in having low cost oi
living Ln thefr purchasing commodities.
A law whicih treats investors as inno
cent as the 1 / form a trust and guilty
if they fo|in a labor union does not
command | he respect nor appeal to the
sense of justice of the American peo
ple- /
“One eit the most serious restraints
of tradff is found in the patent laws.
Those Laws are designed to encourage
industry, but they are made instru
ments/ of monopoly, a commission in
restrsUnt of trade under cover of pat
ent 'rights,, copyrights and trade marks.
A patent is a public utility and the
ow/ier should be required by law to
develop it fully himself or permit its
u»e by the public on v reasonable terms
and described by the commission as
4 one in Germany, under the new' patent
/Faws. )
“The people demand freedom from
restraints and in the monopoly value*
that have been built on restraints.
They are not to be given something
that perpetuates and monopolizes under
the plea of making business safe.
“The kind of legislation here pro
posed is not an experiment. It has been
tried out in Wisconsin fbr six years
in the regulation of railroads and pub
lic utilities.”
Mr. LaFollette again made a plea
for woman suffrage and was enthusi
astically applauded. He referred to
Senator Aldrich and said Aldrich had
only $50,600 when he went into the
senate but he quit with $50,000,000.

Expenses of federal agents
AMOUNT TO MILLIONS ANNUALLY
, (By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. I.—Ex
ecutive documents that dribble along
in the holiday mall of the speaker of
the house, show where great sums of
government money go with every pass
ing year. Legislators, who were reai
solons in their day and have long since
passed the way of all legislative solons.
preached and practiced the doctrine of
publicity, now supposed to be a modern
thought. By enactments, which, first
and last, numbered scores, if not hun
dreds, they imposed upon the depart
ments the necessity of making transac
tions public.
That is why the executive documents,
covering a wide range of expenditure,
come in the speaker’s mail at this time
of year and eventually are published.
But these reports are chiefly tabula
tions and column s of figures. Os course,
up-to-date people, as a rule, pay little
heed t o such kn output. They are too
busy to scan and analyze. Who car?s
that SIOO were paid to a civilian engi
neer to make a survey of Podunk
with a view to its improvement when
an appropriation from congress could
be obtained? Who cares that the trav
eling expenses of Special Agent Bill
Jones, investigating land frauds on the
public domain, amounted to $987 with
in a few months?
But most of these comparatively
small expenses, which run into millions
annually, are all reported in detail ».o
congress. It would not be correct to
sa ythST the expenditures are im
proper. Very many of them can not
be avoided, if the government is to be
run efficiently. And yet the fact re
mains that there probably could be
much curtailment without-impairing ef
ficiency in the public service.
Travel bills, for instance have in
creased and multiplied during • the last
decade. 14 has become an attraction
of office holding at Washington, that
one has the opportunity of seeing the
world without expense, as enlistment
posters for the army and navy allur
ingly announce. The bureau chief, who
can not get in a pleasant trip or two
every year to some distant part of the
country, is rather slow. He is looked
down upon by his more enterprising
colleagues.
MANY “ON THE WING.”
There are literally hundreds of “gov
ernment men,” as they are often call
ed out in the states, who are “on the
nearly all of the year. They
have a great variety of missions. Some
are connected with the score and more
of commissions and others are special
agents, inspectors and the like. ZU,
of course, are within the law. Other
wise they could not draw their expense
money. Primarily, congress is as mucn
to blame as heads of departments, if
there are abuses. The comptroller of
the currency, a stern official, must ap
prove of every item as coming within
the law.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
just reported Ulft" BXEtimlitwa for
travel” in his department for the year
amounted t o $197,509.85. That is only
one of the nine departments. Some
spent much less for travel and some
spent a vast deal more. But the de
partment of agriculture serves as a fair
example. There were 76 different ac
counts and some accounts carried t ex
penses for a number of men. The travel
incident titt congressional seed distribu
tion cost that incident to the
management of national forests (chief
ly in the west) aggregated $12,279. The
bureau of entomology spent $34 on
travel In connection with investigations
and the destruction of deciduous fruit
insects: $552 for travel that had to do
with “miscellaneous insects” ano $230
on travel that concerned prevention of
*the spread of moths.
“Protection and removal of elk in
Wyoming” cost $643.70 in travel ex
penditure. For travel on account of
“fruit diseases" the disbursing officers
paid out $3,343; travel on account of
meat inspection cost almost an equal
sum —s 3,763. Travel that had a bear
ing upon “food habits of birds and
mammals” amounted to $5,373.90. T!ie
bureau of statistics . had a travel ex
pense of $2,106 for special investiga
tions.
The office of public roads, in the de
partment of agriuclture, maintains a lot
of official traveling. The travel on ac
count of road management amounted to
$3,716; for Investigating road building and
maintenance, $9,679 and travel in securing
road material cost $3,460 more. The
weather bureau prophets traveled during
the year at a cost of $2,796. These men
journeyed to deliver addresses on weath
er bureau work, to inspect river districts,
to consult about flood warnings, to Install
apraratus and conduct solar /radiation in
vestigations.' to inspect lithographic
stones, storage batteries and examine In
strument exposures, not to mention a
great number of other errands.
JOURNEYS FAR AND WIDE.
Agents and officials of the bureau of
plant Industry journeyed far and wide.
An assistant agriculturist, for example,
went on a trip into the south “to inves

$249.60, which apparently was a very
econoftiical journey. This, however, is

DR. WILEY’S WORK.
Dr. H._ W. Wiley’s bureau of chemistry
employs many travelers, whose expense
accounts are large In the aggregate. They
go to all parts of the country "in con
nection with the enforcement of the food
and drugs act.” One expert had $290
worth of travel "investigating the chem
ical composition of cider vinegar and
studying the chemical changes taking
place in cider treated in the quick process
generators.” Another expert traveled to
Norfolk, Va., at a cost of $12.65 to confer
"with peanut dealers and manufacturers
regarding the proper handling, coating
and treatment of peanuts.”
Probably all this activity in the de
partment of agriculture is of as much
direct benefit to the people at large as
any of the traveling that Is done every
annum from Washington. It used to be
said that the states could do these things
quite as well, or better, for themselves
but less and less is heard nowadays on
that score. The scientists of the depart
ment of agriculture are, for the most
part, very wise and very efficient and un
doubtedly are performing a great serv
ice for modern civilization.
POSTAL OFFICIALS.
Postal officials travel more probably,
than those of any other department of
the government, except it be the army
I and navy. That, however, is a service
very near the people. As the postoffice
department is well nigh self-supporting
now, according to the method of book
■ keeping followed by its accountants,
these postal journeys are paid for out
of the proceeds of postage stamp sales.
The war department has the great trav
el of all the government. Officers and
enlisted men must be transported long
distances and by the thousands and tens
of thousands. There is a smaller, but
none the less fat travel account for the
navy. interior department, admin
istering great affairs and enterprises in
the west, likewise spends big sums upon
Its travelers.
The government has become a mam
moth business enteA-prise. There must be
Washington men, from time 1© time, up
on thei ground. Inspection alone costs
millions of dollars.
1911 WAS PROSPEROUS
YEAR FOR EDUCATION
WASHINGTON,'Jan. I.—Without ques
tion the year 1911 was productive of
more educational legislation of value
than any previous year in the history
of the nation,” said James C. Boykin,
editor of the United States bureau of
educaticnr-rin a forthcoming government
mongraph,
Mr. Boykin declares that the 48 state
legislatures in session during the year
practical without exception were friend
ly to the cause of public education. He
notes as one of the larger developments
of the year the beginning of a movement
to lengthen the school term by reducing
the number of holidays and says that
salaries of teachers are showing a ten
dency to rise with prospects growing
steadily brighter for retirement on liv
ing annuities when usefulness is past
NAVAL BATTLE DRILLS
LIKE GENUINE WARFARE
WASHINGTON, Jan. I.—Every year
the battle practice iq the American navy
more closely approximates the condi
tion of actual warfare. In the spring
practice of the Atlantic fleet this year
the idea of ridding a ship as far as pos
sible of combustible materials and wood
work that might cause splinters in ac
tion is to be carried out so far that the
officers and men of some of the vessels
may even sleep “on the soft side of a
plank.”
The plans contemplate the removal of
all wooden boats, the bunks and the
wooden furniture. Not even the mess
tables will be left, and the bluejackets
will have to eat their meals squatting
tailor-fashion on deck.
WHITFIELD COURT
HAS BUSY SESSION
DALTON, Ga., Jan. I.—The regular
January term of Whitfield superior court
begins its week of work at the court
house at 10 o’clock this morning. A spe
cial session of the grand jury has been
called for the term, the jury to Inves
tigate the jail cases.
The 'one matter of more than passing
interest is the investigation of the death
of George Glenn, Jr., and for which ex-
Policeman Van Lewallen is in jail on the
charge of murder. If the grand jury re
turns an indictment, Lewallen will be
arraigned before Judge Fite for trial
one day this week.
“HESITATION IS ONLY
MENACE TO PROSPERITY”
NEW YORK, Jan. I.—“ There is no
menace to the country's prosperity ex
cept hesitation,” asid James J. Hill to
day. "The people are sane and there is
nothing serious in the air to disturb any
body’s confidence. The only trouble is
that conditions keep people from going
into new things rapidly.
"In the northwest and so far as I
have observed the country over, busi
ness is steady, even if it is a little quiet.
"I can’t say anything about 1912, be
cause I don’t know anything about it.
It isn’t here yet.”

MONROE FARMERS WILL
GROW SWEET POTATOES
FORSYTH, Ga., Jan. I.—Because of
the great success that is being expert
enc9d by many farmers of Monroe
county in the growing of sweet pota
toes, more attention will be ps.ld to the
growing of this crop by the county’s
fanners next year than ever before.
D. F. Jackson, of Juliette, and other
farmers in the county, have demon" t
strated by raising sweet potatoes for
the market, that the possibilities of tine
industry- in Monroe county sure great,
and their success has inspired others
to follow their example. Mr. Jackson
is probably the largest potato grower
in the county, raising ever}* .year a
sufficient quantity to sell hundreds
of dollars worth in the markets. It
is expected that next z year Monroe
county will become one of tha greatest
sweet potato growing counties in the
state, and for this reason the.'e is con
siderable talk of a canning factory be
ing established at Juliette.
