FARMERS LACK TINE
FOR POLITICS NOW

The splendid condition of crops in
the West cannot be exaggerated" said
Secretary Wilson. Of the Department of
Agriculture, Immediately upon his re-
turn from the West this morning.
The Secretary made an extensive tour
OF the central West. going as far as
Huron, & y.
There he addressed an agricultural
convention.
From the enthusiasm with which he
spoke OF the great prospects in store
Ter the farmers and stockmen of Iili-
nois, Iowa. the Dakotas, and other
States. the reports, even IN their full.
have not oyerestimated the enormous
output of the soil This year.
n majority OF the farmers of the
West, said the Secretary, are content
with the crops and farm produce tha.
they Will market this year. Just now
they have given up everything else 10
gather the fruits or their labor.
Not alone is the condition Of crops
III best ever had in the West" the
Secretary went on 10 say but the state
OF everything connected with the grea,
agricultural country is away ahead Of
general expectations. Vast improve
meEts have been made in the method oi
farming. New and improved machinery
Is now being used, ana. in general one
man can now do what was formerly two
men $ work.
The rural free delivery OF mail and
tho telephone system have worked
wonders, In bringing the farmers righl
fE touch with everyday life Ina,
alone should be considered a vast i'm
proYement over a few years ago.
The political situation is not being
discussed TO any extent" the Secretary
said. The people swear by Roosevelt
and RooseYelt's methods, and no matter
what he does they will stick to MIN
through thick and thin"
Asked as To the political situation ir
Iowa and especially as to the Cummfns.

Il ENCOURAGING
YELLOW FEVER SlTUATIIN AT

ING.
Confidence That All Serious Danger
From the Yellow Plague
Hes Pass
Confidence That All Serious DANCE

New Orleans. Oct. at the close
o. the eiey enth week of the struggle
a.aiDst the yellow fever the health
authorities summed mp 'hc situation
today as full Of encouragement The"
fever has MT been entirely wiped out,
as it was at one time hoped it might
be at this date, but the difficulties to
be overcome proved greater than they
were expected to be. The chief oh
stacle to complete suppression has
been the indisposition here and there
among laymen and others to work
in harmony with the marine hos
pital authorities. In spite of this con
dition of affairs, which has been dis
advantageous because it has prevent
ed the absolute eradication, the au
thorities say the disease is steadily
waning, with the present week pre-
senting the lowest total of cases
since the. first week in August. Con
fidence that all serious danger has
passed here is evidenced by the re.
sponse which is being made by the
parishes to the suggestion of Presi-
dent Souchon and Dr.. White for the
raising of quarantiness by the rush of
New Orleans people to their homes,
and aby the increased number of peo-
pie from other sections who are now
venturing into New Orleans.

TO PROSECUTE MOB,
Faulkner County Official Says He Will
Give Names of Lynchers
to Sheriff.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 9.-Sheriff
j. H. Harrell of Faulkner county, has
caused stir at Conway by announc-
ing his intention of prosecuting the
leaders Of tho mob that lynched Frank
Brown. a negro. September %.
Brown, who was suspected of COM
rlicity in an assault upon Mrs. Arle-
ma Lawrence and the murder of her
siS-yCar-Old son. was taken from the
jail in Conway and lynched during
Sheriff Harrells absence in Little
Rock Two deputy sheriffs who were
in charge at the Jail at the time the
mob secured the negro have been dis
charged by Sheriff Harrell.
The sheriff declares now that he
will go before the next grand jury,
which will convene the second Mon
day in January and secure the In
dictment of several members of the
mob whose names he has in his pos
session.
Sheriff Harrell said:
Il have evidence in my hands to
show that ten of the men who were
responsible for the organization of the
mob are not law-abiding citizens. 1t
has been claimed that the mob was
made up of good citizens, but | know
this is not true.
'There were several respectable
citizens in the NIB. but as is usually
the case, they were drawn into the
thing after q few lawless men had
started the movement. | know who
some of the leaders We're. and intend
to Law the matter before the grand
jury
Sheriff Harrell is still doubtful as to
the guilt of the neero who was hanged
by the mob. There was no more evi
dence against Brown, he declares
than against. some of the mob.
