Humorous Light.

I'nited Press Special.

Washington Sept. 7.—If as much
depends upon a man's laugh or his
ι lack of laughter as has been assert-
! ed by a distinguished French scien-
i list President Taft who is himself
the father of a particular brand of
uproatious mirth-sound has an old
assortment of men whom he has
placed in office to run the affairs of
the Executive end of the Govern-
ment.
When the president was secretary
of war the heavy mahogany doors
of the war department were not suf-
ficient to shut out (he sound that
issued forth despite these barriers
ι when he saw something that struck
him as funny. And he saw many
things in the humorous light. He
laughed more then than he has since
1 although from the Executive office
there still issues forth now and then
the echo of a great and sonorous
laugh a big-man kind of laugh be-
speaking good digestion and sroo.l
lungs.
It is doubtful whether President
Taft has selected a single man who
can duplicate his laugh or even come
anywhere near it.
When Roosevelt was president he
was 110 mean second in the matter
of laughter to his secretary of vva;.
It wasn't the sonorous easy go jg
complacent sort such as Presl lent
Taft's but it hid rare finalities it
had the effect of making everyone
who heard it laugh too. or at bias'
smile. It was exhuîjevant choppy if
you like; irregular boyish at times
raising to a treble as if its creator
was having the time of his lif»· at
the moment of its utterance. Manv
is the time thai secretaries passin-
his door stopped 10 smile at 111M
medley of merriment and it i>.-ued
forth most ofv. just at the time
when one thought the Colonel was
iι» his tightest corner held at. bay
by his enemies.

not care a rap for anything and pro-
posed to amuse himself as he "hose.
Winthrop has a hard time carrying
on the traditions of the former ad-
ministration.
Secretary Knox President 'l'aft's
premier likes a laugh now and then
—but mostly then. The lips of the
secretary of state seldom emit a rip-
ple except when the moment is a
most stimulating one. More fre-
quently he sits and smiles and his
eyes do not lau at I'll. Jhey fix
themselves on whomsoever is near-
est as though the levity of the oc-
casion was merely a bait to draw out
the other person while the eyes · ι u-
tinized whatever secrets of counten-
ance might be unveiled by the flnsii
n? merrîmnnt
Secretary of War Dickinson has a I
raucous sort of laugh although it isj
not especially distinctive. It is much j
the same as that of any big man!
who can take pleasure in a funny j
story but it does not always indicate!
a mirthful temperature.
Secretary of the Nav\ Meyer is I
not a man of mirth. His laugh u. !
a quiet one such as would not cause J
any head to turn in the best ordered!
drawing room but he has the pow-|
er of emitting it at the proper mo-j
nent. He can lean back his chair
from the knottiest problem un-
wrinkle his forehead and give a
mirthful amiable velvety little rip-
ple which suits the occasion.
I'ncle Jim Wilson secretary of
agriculture and "grand father of
the cabinet" has a nice well defined
western Iowa laugh when the idea
strikes him. It is a very character-
istic sort of unaiiphonious utterance.
It comes forth unbidden by circum-
stance is not very loud and depends
entirely upon the Secretary's inward
state of being. He langhs when he
pleases.
Attorney General Wickersham is
far different from Bonaparte his
predecessor who often chuckled to
himself whenever the popular voice
happened to be lambasting him. It
was a quiet confidential sort of
chuckle aparently not meant for
other ears. Wickersham never
laughs without conforming to the
usages of the American Har Associa-
tion and well defined rules of pro-
priety and etiquette. He is full of
funny etories however and laughs
robustly on occasion.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
a useful smile but laughing is not
! one of lils prominent characteristic*.
' Abandonment to mlr-h is not in his
; makeup. He would never think of
letting himself go to the extent of
: giving nn ungraceful anl reverberat-
; In·; «'tirai'i
Secretary of t'.'.e Tnasury Mac-
Ven;;h l'.r.s a keen seme of humor and
I enjoys telling stories as well as
hearing the anecdotes of others. IIl
indulges in pleasing little chuckles
that Indicate his pleasure in the
point tfiat has been made In the
story but refrains as a rule from un-
restrained hilarity.
Secretary Nagle of the department
of commerce and labor hns a p.i'rrir.s
laugh which much of the time is
noncommittal and neutral. !t is a
good evidence of cheerfulness but at
the same time if he desires it often
leaves bis hearers in doubt as to thd
depth of his mirth.
Secretary Ballinger of the de-
partment of the interior has a good-
fellow laugh that Is well known in
the circles of his friends. It has
been classed by some as a political
laugh and at times has stood him In
good stead but is never uproarious.
Taken as a whole the laugher oT
the present cabinet is more or less
restrained and the president has but
little competition when he giv-'s
way to mirth at a meeting of his ex-
ecutive council.
Hi TO KEEP MEN ON FARM
Well Known Author and Kifitor
Delivers Address at the \aiion-
»! Conservation Congress.
' ited Pres3 Spécial.
Et. Paul Minn. Sept. 7.—-This
was "Farm Afternoon" at the na-
tional conservation congress. "We
have too many people in the cities;
too few in the country" said Hen· y
Wallace author editor and member
of Roosevelt's country life commis-
sion of Des Moines la. whose ad-
dress on "The Real Problem" was
one of the features of the day.
"The great problem is how to
keep enough skilled men on the
farm to grow food at a price which
the people in the towns and cities
can afford to pay.
"The city man does not obtain
food at anything like the farm price.
He pays a third more often twice
as much three times sometimes
four and five times as much as the
farmer receives. So long as we had
virgin soil to rob we did not see the
inevitable end ; but now that con-
sumption has overtaken production
the city wakes up and asks whence
is to come its bread and its meats
at a price at which it is able to pur-
chase.
"The city must be told with brutal
frankness that there are too many
consumers of farm products and too
few producers.
"The farmer too is beginning to
wake up and finds that his yield per
acre has been slowly declining for
40 years. The farmer is a hard fellow
to waken; when Roosevelt and James
Hill talk (o him he rouses himself
rubs his ey.es finally concludes that
it is only a scare and then goes to
Floep.
"If the townsman is to live on hie
income be must get farm products
n:o\ d from the farm to his kitchen
door cheaper than he lias been get-
ting them. He must do the market-
ing himself rather than ordering by
telephone which adds about 16 per
cent to the cost lie must get rid
of the baby trusts which fi:; prices
for both town and city and vermin-
like live off the farmer and con- j
sumer.
"It isia burning shame that with
the finest body of agricultural land
in the world we excel in wheat
growing only the peasants of Russia
and of India that we should grow
less than one-half the wheat per
acre grown by England France and
Germany on land that has been farm

"The most important thing is io
make farm life satisfactory to the:
idling and prevent them becoming
■onsumers instead of producers for
ι man fit to be a farmer is worth j
more to the city just now on a farm
han in the city. Increased intel-j
ligence means a reform in our rural
schools converting them from poor
own schools moved out into the ι
country to a school that imbues the I
pupils in their plastic stage with j
love of farm life and fits them for
t. It means eventually the sociali-
sation of rural life as distinct from
•ity life."
NTEREST IF THE RAILWAYS
IV. \V. I'inlry Says Railroads are In-
terested in Whatever Is Itenc-
tirial to the People.
United Press Special.
St. Paul Minn. Sept. 7.—-"The
Interest of the Railways of the Soutfi
η Conservation" was the theme of
kY. \\". Finley president of the South
?rn Railway who spoke before the
Vational Conservation congress ti-
Jay.
"Any government policy that \n lo
:he best interest of the people is to
he best interest of the railway»"
mid. Finley "and any policy harm-
'ul to the railways is harmful to the
K'ople. I must therefore be un·
lerstood as presenting what I believe
ο be the interest of the Southern
>eople."
Mr. Finley denied that the produc-
Ivlty of the soil was decreasing. The
iverage wheat yield has grown from
12 bushels per acre In 1867 to 14.6
lusheis in the years since 1906. The
όπί yield was not decreasing but re-
nained stationary around 25.6
lusheis. The cotton yield In the
>eriod of 1866 was 174.4 pounds of
lnt Cotton to the acre and In the
iresent day It is 183.1 pounds.
Long and proper use of the soli
ncreases its productivity. And e·-
ate in Germany that produced 13.5 |
lusheis of wheat per acre 350 yean
ago now produces an average or 1
45.1 bushels per acre.
"The conversion of raw material
near the source of its origin into the
finished product ready for the con-
sumer is true conservation. Tho
south is beginning to use its own raw
material In manufacture in its own
district but even yet a large propor-
tion of raw material which has pass-
ed through the first stages of manu-
facture is shipped out to be convert-
ed into the finished product else-
where. This is a waste of energy
which under Ideal conditions of con-
servation would not he tolerated.
"If the southern woodworking in-
dustries are to thrive effective steps
must be taken for the conservation
of Southern forests. The people of'
other parts of the country must look
to the south for an increasing pro-
portion of their supplies.
"The railroads rtf the country are'
interested in the conservation <>f soil
of forests and mines and of water
power. Conversely the people are
interested in the conservation and
development of their transportation
systems. Without railroads the]
scale of living would be much more!
restricted and many things which j
are now looked upon as being almost'
necessaries of life would be either
unattainable or would be luxuries
which only the wealthy could e.i-
Joy."
Mr. Flnley said that the question!
of preserving the forests of the south ]
was a problem for the state lcglsla- j
tors. !
