DakOtas for Taft.
North Dakota and South Dakota are
said to be for Taft beyond a doubt In
the latter State the faction led by SEN
ator Kittredge is for Taft, and the faction
led by Senator Gamble. which had been
fostering the third-term movement. will
have to follow suit. The delegation from
Montana has been reported in the Knox
column. In Washington and Oregon the
Taft sentiment predominates, but in the
latter State an anomalous situation is
presented. Senator Bourne, who is the
original and persistent second elective
term boomer, is opposed TO Taft under
any and all conditions, while his coll
league. Fulton, who is anti-adninistra-
ton. has declared for Taft. In the In
termountain States the Taft candidacy
seems TO lead. Senator Warren. who will
head the delegation. is for Taft. but his
colleague, Senator Clark, is for Knox In
Idaho. Taft is apparently IN the lead, but
The senior Senator, Hepburn, is opposed.
One factor that is disturbing the Taft
managers is the attitude Of the Nor
mons.
MOrmOns Have Grievance.
While they profess to be Roosevelt men.
there is much opposition to Taft. be-
cause he advocated the Philippine tariff
bill. which they hold would cripple the
beet sugar industry. which is controlled
almost entirely by the church in the
intermountain States.
Senator Foraker appears TO have con-
siderable following in Arizona and New
Mexico. while Oklahoma is showing signs
Of breaking away from Taft OF account
OF the way in which the patronage was
doled out by the President. Fairbanks
and Cannon seem 10 be deriving the most
benefit from the Taft opposition.
But in none of the localities mentioned
are the delegates yet nailed down. 1t is
sill an open fight.

Has a Busy Day
Secretary Taft arrived in Boston with
his genial smile this morning. and put in
quite a strenuous day, although not as
J lively one as his chief did on the oc-
casion Of his last visit to this city Mr.
Taft made three speeches; in the morn
ing. at the meeting Of the Congregational
Ministers Association: this afternoon. ct
and tonight at the annual dinner Of the
Boston Merchants Association, the big
function Of the visit.
Secretary Taft had many volunteer
boomers. and on more than one occasion
he was hailed as Our next President"
These references were always greeted
with rapturous applause. and while Mr.
Taft said nothing. II was easy 10 see
from his smiling countenance that they
we're not displeasing 10 him.
Speaks to CIerEymen.
Secretary Taft's address to the clergy
men was devoted 10 the Philippines. be-
ing in the main a defense Of his own
policy and that OF the administration in
the islands. and reply to his sincere,
out misguided anti-imperislistie friends"
He reviewed the history Of the islands
since the United States took possession,
and declared that during his recent visit
he saw great evidences of material edcca-
tional, sanitary. and religious progress
among the natives. He had TO be very
guarded. ne said. in his admissions as 20
the results Of the measure Of lf-govern-
ment which had been granted the people.
because If ne said that the government
had been successful. It would be said at
once by his ant-imperialistiC friends that
he had admitted publicly that the FIJI
pinos had proven their immediate fitness
for self government, and should be given
Z at once.
After luncheon. Secretary Taft went 70
the EIysium Club. and at o'clock shook
hands with about 500 men AT the reception
held prior 10 the Merchants Association
banquet.
On the Panama Canal.
At the Elysium Club, Secretary Taft
talked about the Panama Canal. and con-
cluded by saying:
II venture to say that we shall all be
disappointed at first in the amount Of
business done in that canal. 1t doubles
the efficiency Of our navy. But IN the
matter OF trade you cannot turn II all at
once. and viii say It VIII take ten years
to adjust the world to that new method
of getting around il.
L do not believe we viii get our money
out of the canal IN a great many years

sary that we should. II is a great work
that we are doing. and we can Wei afford

at is true that the execution OF the
policy Of the administration has involved
the bringing to the light OF public criti-

UnexpIored Regions.

Many years will elapse before any
other continent is as well mapped as
Europe; and perhaps the era Of per
fected mapping all over the world
may never come, because surveys are
very expensive. and the five other
continents have far larger expanses
than Europe Of comparatively worth
less lands that do not call for the
most detailed and refined cartogra'
ply; but, says Cyrus c. Adams In
Harper's. a large amount Of pioneer
work still invites the explorer, for
many Of the unknown areas have
much territorial extent In the ANA
zon basin, for example. three OF these
regions are each much larger than
all Of our New England states. One
unknown area In northwest Alaska Is
nearly as large as New England, and
the Sahara has two areas in black
that are each twice as large and an
other three times as large as New
England. Asia still has several OF
these vast mysterious spaces. and the

Guinea. the largest island in the
