WITH EVERY HOPE OF SUCCESS.

In his letter of acceptance Mr.. Taft
says: IF l am elected president l
shall urge upon congress, with every
hope of success, that law be passed
requiring the filing in federal office
of statement of the contributions
received by committees and candidates
in elections for members Of congress,
stitutionally within the control of con-
gress. Meantime the Republican
party by the election of a New York
treasurer has subjected all it's receipts
and expenditures to the compulsory
obligation of such law"
But why with every hope of sue
cess?"
Did the letter Mr. Taft wrote to
Senator Burrows, urging the adoption
of such law, have any effect upon
the Republican congress?
Did the recommendation of Mr..
Roosevelt have any effect upon the
Republican congress?
The Taft letter and the Roosevelt
recommendation were given to con-
gress while presidential election
was approaching. If Republican con,
gress would not act under those cir.
cumstances with what reason does Mr..
Taft say that after the presidential
election he would urge measure
with every hope of success?"
The Republican party in national
convention assembled voted down a
publicity plank by 81 yeas to $50 nays
Meantime let it be remembered that
the publicity favored by Mr.. Taft is
an AFTER" election publicity. In
other words, the people will be told
who the financial hackers of the Re
publican party are when it is too late
for the people to profit by the infor
nation.

Thaw Goes Republican.

In 1893 when the banks of this coun-

RAISING ALL|GATORs.
ONLY TWO PLACES IN LAND
WHERE INDUSTRY PREVAILS.
From 500 to 800 Reptiles Kept on
Ranch at Hot Springs, Ark,
and Culture Is an Inter-
estina Process.

Washington.-1t is claimed that the
alligator farm in Hot Springs, Ark, is
larger than that in st. Augustine, Fla,
and that these two are the only farms
of the kind. The farm in Hot Springs
Is on a small mountain stream that
feeds a series of little lakes or ponds.
These are made use of to form the
breeding grounds" "stockyards" and
winter quarters" for this stock indus.
try.
There are at all times on this farm
between 500 and 800 alligators, ranging
in size from little baby gators, less
than six inches long. up to Big Joe,
nearly Is feet long. The little fellows
have all been Matched on the farm, but
the big ones were caught in the
swamps and bayous of the south.
The alligator is cannibal, and for
that reason it is necessary to separate
ting and to place reptiles Of very near
ly the same size in each Enclosure. Big
Joe, the monarch of the establishment,
weighing nearly 600 pounds, is kept by
himself. Otherwise, it is alleged. he
would soon be the only alligator there.
The eggs are placed in incubators
quite similar to those for Matching
chickens After being Matched the
little ones are placed in separate in
closure, to prevent their elder brothers
and sisters from eating them. They
grow very slowly, SO that an alligator
two feet long is about two years of
age, and one IL feet long may be IL
years or more. Some reach length
of 16 or IS feet.
If allowed to follow their hibernat-
ing habits in captivity, the alligators
would bury themselves in the mud and
| lie dormant for nearly half of the year,
| and business would have to be sus-
pended during that time on the alliga-
tor farm. Some way had to be de-
vised for avoiding, in part, at least.
this alternating instinct. The winter
quarters are in long, low building d.
vided into many compartments. Each
compartment contains pool of water
through which run steam pipes SO that
the water can be kept at constant
temperature. One small pond will
contain 200 or 800 alligators.
Hundreds OF baby alligators are sold
every year to patrons of the health re
sort at Hot Springs for pets, for home
aquariums and for curious mementos
to be sent to distant friends. For these
purposes little creatures not more than
six inches long are preferred. Reptiles
OF larger size, from two feet in length
up to the largest than can be obtained
are sold for use as advertising novel
ties and for exhibition in amusement
parks, museums, shows and menager
les. Large numbers Of all sizes are
killed, stuffed and mounted In striking
or fantastic attitudes and used for or
namental and decorative purposes The
skins are tanned and manufactured
into suit cases. satchels, handbags

Official Paper Of City and County

Audubon Advocate: Last weeks Re
publican says that DR.. Winship Of Bos-
ton told the editor of that paper that
there was no Bryan sentiment east OF
the Allegheny mountains. Well. now
we did not have the pleasure of meet
ing DR.. Winship, but we did almost all
the speakers at the Chautauqua. Did
YOU talk with these gentlemen, Brother
Ross, and what did they tell you; Prof.
MacMurray, Mr.. Miller of Ohio,
DR.. Green, Opie Reed, Thomas Brooks
Fletcher, DIR. Cadman, Captain Hob
son and DIR. Will? They were each
very positive that Hon. w. j. Bryan
would be elected, and also stated that
the sentiment was very strong for him.
Why not quote them, as well as Dr..
Winship? If you wish to quote the
Chautauaua lecturers, why not tell
your readers what DR.. Green said OF the
standpatters? We did not care to rec
ognize the chautauqua as political
school or criterion, but if you wish to
do SO we would be please to join with
YOU in that score and the average man
will find much more sentiment there
for Mi. Bryan than against him.

How Did 1t Happen.

toward relieving the burden of taxa
ton now borne by people with small in

There is no more just or equitable way
of raising public revenue.
And the Comthoner commenting upon
the Worlds admission makes this point;
Yet the republican national conven-
ton defeated an income tax plank by a
vote of $50 nays to % yeas. How does
it happen that such just method OF
raising public revenue found only TWEEN
