Mr. HTtChco&k, whose testi-
mony-before the Senate ..invest-
igating committe it may be
remarked parenthetically seems
to have been give noiess frank-
ness than that of Mr: Belmont
the day before, gives the amount
- spent under hisjiirection in elect-
ing Mr. Taft down even to the
odd cent. The total of his cam-
paign fund was, he says, $1,665,-
518,27, the most obtrusive cir-
cumstance of which is that it wad
more than a quarter of a million
dollars less than was spent four
years previously in electing Mr.
Roosevelt.- Considering the
whole matter from a larger angel,
the revelations which the coj%
- mittee has so farrpade must have
|p been a sore disappointment to
those who were expecting scan-
dalous; disclosures. About the
nearest approach to a scandal yet
S elicited has been the admission
W00jgMr. Taggart that the casb
S>"f%)ok of the Democratic party
H was burned shorty- after the
campaign ended, and the ad-
mission of Mr. BelmOnt that he
gave a quarter of a million dol-
lars, more than, a third of the
?^yj&tal.. campaign fund, to elect
Judge Parker. • The disclosures

However, as a pacification to

that things realy look good for

This is followed up until planting

when planting time is at hand
the land is in first-class condition

is sufficient to sprout the seed and
start the plant to growing very
nicely. Under the conditions
above mentioned the plant has
