General Woodford and his associat-
IS in tho league believe that by en-
ergctic work in almost solid Hughes

England to the republican national
convention. Work having that end In

New hampshire, and A. NJ. Fletcher
of Vermont are to be actively in

pressed upon them.
At the conclusion of his castcrr
tour General Woodford will hold n
series of conferences with prominent
southern republicans, and it is cx-
pccted that as a result New York
states favoritc son win receive the
support of a large share of the
southern delegates.
John f.. Milholland, chairman OF
the national executive committee of
the Hughes League, who presided at
the notification ceremonies at which
General Woodford accepted the prcs-
doncy of the league, is expected tc
take an active part in spreading the
Hughes or-Prcsidcnt doctrine among
the republicans of the East and
South.
Mr., Milholland is not without prac
teal experience in the matter of dis
seminating enthusiasm for a candi-
date for high national Office. He was
Whitelaw Reds political manager

the wages Of their. employees or at
least giving them no advance while
the price on the commodities they
manufacture will not be reduced. That
Is If they are In position to have the
tariff reduced as they desire.
On the other hand with a reduction
of the tariff on wheat to any great ex-
tent the product of the farmers of the
great northwest would be thrown on
an open market in competition with
the products of Canada, Russia and
Argentina. and instead of the home
consumption all being taken from the
products of the United States we
would be on an equal footing with
these other countries, and the price of
the farmers product would not only
be regulated by what the crop was and
the consumption of our own country,
but we would also have to consider
the other wheat raising countries.

TARIFF REDUCTION.

1t Is no longer matter of specula-
ton that there will be reduction of
the tariff at an extraordinary session
OF congress which will probably be
called in March of 1909, and in this
connection it is we'll TO bear in mind
that each reduction will be fought bv
the concern whose product is to be
placed on the down scale.
Among other things that are likely
70 come up for consideration is the
tarln on wheat. In this regard the far
ner is vitality interested. 1t will in al,
probability be urged by the big manu-
lacturerS OF the east that wheat he r.
ouced Tor the reason that by reducing
the tarln on this commodity they are
materially decreasing the cost of living
and If this can be accomplished ,hev
Will have the excuse of either reducing

With the first of January Judge
Duell will take up the work of states
attorney and it is the firm conviction
OF the people who know the Judge
best that there will be a strict enforce
ment of the law. Mr. Duell is a quiet
inoffensive gentleman with a retiring
disposition. but he is also a man who
Is firm in his convictions and while
he will not get out with a great -four
ish and cry from the housetops what
he is going to do 1t is the firm belief
of his constituency that he will hue
close to the line, and when a wrong
doer is rounded up by Mr.. Duell he
will get all that is coming to him. 1t
seems to be the impression of some
that he will be inclined to be lax in
the enforcement of some of the laws,
but this impression has been errone-
ously created by those who were en-.
deavoring to defeat him before election
and unless we are greatly mistaken
there is a startling surprise in store
for those who have this belief. Judge
DUEL was urged to be candidate for
this office by many of his friends in
the county, most prominent among
whom were numerous members of the
bar, it being their impression that he
was just the proper man for the posi-
ton. 1t was with assurance of the
support of these people that he con-
sented to be a candidate. He was
elected by a handsome vote, he has
the people behind him and it is con-
hdently expected that there will be
less evasion of the laws in the future
than ever before.

SHOULD HAVE OPERA HOUSE.

The opera house question seems to
be quiet at this time, yet the reason is
hard to imagine. 1t would seem that
there could be few investments in Dew
lis Lake that were so sure of returns
as good up-to-date opera house. At
fractions that have visited this city in
the past have always met with gener-
GUS support from our people. even un-
der the most deplorable circumstances.
So it is to be assumed that with a Dlay
house where good class of attrac-
tions could be produced the business
should be greatly increased.
4 city Of over 5000 inhabitants with
out al opera house is a condition that
very rarely exists. and does not speak
we'll for the enterprise of our city.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

On another page we print the last
message of President Roosevelt to
congress. AS usual it is full of good,
sound suggestions. He treats on cor
porations, and states that in his opin.
Ion 1t is not best to entirely do away
with corporations. but to so regulate
them that only those that work for
good shall continue. and that intell1-
gence should receive the reward that
is justly due it.
He touches upon the labor problem
and treats it in a fair and impartial
manner. and sets forth the duty that
devolves upon us as nation to pro-
perly protect the wage earners.
Courts and judges receive attention
from the president and he strongly
urges more compensation for this
branch of the government. He fur,
Their states that the people are them
selves to blame for many of the short
comings of the judiciary of the land.
He strongly urges the preservation
OF the forests. and speaks at some
length on the waste of money on in
land waterways through lack OF pro-
per expenditure and proper handling
of the work.
National parks, pure food and secret
service are mentioned in the MESA &c
He recommends the establishing Of
postal savings banks and parcel post
He touches upon education, census
and public health
Separate statehood for New Mexico
and Arizona are recommended and the
president intimates that this should
be done at once
Other subjects in the message were
foreign affairs, Latin American Repub-
lies, Panama canal. ocean mail liners.
the Philippines, Porto Rico, Cuba, the
reception of the American fleet in for
eign waters, the army and navy.
