A little trick of the President’s
during his “swing around the circle”
was to give to the Associated Press
representative accompanying him
type-written copies of his address to
be delivered at any given point, to be
sent out broadcast over the country
as the speech he dehvered there.

the speech he de'ivered, however, by
a long shot Mr. Roosevelt said many
things in his speeches that did not
reach the people of the country and
things he did not want toe country at
large to hear He was caught at, his
liitle game by the Butte, Montana
Miner. That paper sent a ster.ogra-
, pher to hear Mr Roosevelt and took
his speech down verbatim, and it dif
fered materially from the type written
copy sent to that office early in the
evening. He said many things of a
radical nature, and they were things
be would not want, the busicess inter
ests of the country to get hold of, for
fear that there would not be the
same unanimity m endorsing him for
nomination as there seems to hav*-
been lately. If this isn’t saying things
ou the stump that he does not say off
of it, what would you call it? If this
isn’t approaching the game of the

cost of production, owing to high

It may be heresy, hut I would like
to suggest to the Equity iSocitUy that
there is another and easier end a more
certain way for the farmers to accom

not involve the risk and almost certain

Farmers in Cherokee are generally
planting peas on their wheat and oat
land. In some instances they are
planting quickly maturing varieties of
corn and peas on portions of it.
The workman began laying brick
ou the Cherokee Drug Co.’s new store

as rapidly as is consistent with

the manufacturers. The latter can !

can do no such thing, lhe manu
facturers have thus forced up tne
prices that the farmer must pay for
manufactured goods an average of
about 40 p«r cent, since the Dingley
tariff bill became a law. The prices
of many articles, such as ha b wire,
wire nails, tin plate* window gias-i,
etc., have been forced up 100, 200 or
300 per cent, in our markets though
sold at very low prices to foreigners.
If tariff duties ou trust products
were taken off, manufactured goods
which now sell for $1 would toll for
60 cents The funner could then buy
as much with his bushel of wheat sel

of wheat up to $1 while paying the
present high trust prices for hit

goods, to reduce the cost of what they
have to buy. It is not at all feasible

• Fii<lK»*CouiplltntHitM Treasurer
An unusual incident occurred in
the court house last Monday when
Judge K!ugh took occasion to com
pliment, in very high terms, County I
Treasurer W Harry Gooding on the
report of the receipts and disburse
ments of the county’s finances as
submitted bj that efficient officer.
A circuit judge rarely condescends to
compliment county officials, but iu
this respect the compliment was well
deserved, as the repc rt submitted
had been prepared in an unusually
attractive manner and bore evidence
of a painstaking care that only a
careful and thoughtful official would
bestow.
In this connection it might not be
amiss to state that the officers of
Cherokee have been the recipients of
a number of compliments by the
judges. It was Judge Watts who in
open court complimented Sheriff
Thomas, saying he was the best
sher’ff in the State. Another judge
