CORN CAPTURES VIRGINIA
King of Nebraska Adds Old Dominion
to His Conquest.
CROWDS OUT TOBACCO AS CRoI
Original state VIII Send It's Quota OF
, Cereals to Omaha for the
National Corn Expo
sitiOn.

Virginia has taken to raising corn instead
of tobacco and over 900 farmers in the
original state are now interested In produc-
ing corn for the big exposition to be held
in Omaha during December, according to
e. c. Bishop. deputy superintendent OF
public instruction of Nebraska, who has
just returned from Virginia.
From all appearances it will be pass
me a corn muffin instead of a clear
Havana nave a little corn flake instead
of a mild Manila and slip me a bowl
of corn starch instead of a chew
of a natural leaf or long green" said
Prof. Bishop when in Omaha Monday.
virginia farmers are interested in corn
raising and the west seems to have in
oculated the old eastern states witt the
idea that corn can be produced on the old
soils at a greater profit than tobacco,
which has been the crop for a century and
a half"
Prof. Bishop has been attending the meet
Ing Of the National Educational associa-
ton at Cleveland. where he had charge
Of the division OF agriculture in the public
schools. He also spent several weeks in
Virginia and addressed summer normals
on the subject OF agriculture in the schools.
TObac il Uncertain.
The Nebraska educator found corn claim
ing the attention of Virginia farmers TO a
remarkable extent. The uncertainty of the
tobacco market and the unsettled condi-
tion Of the trade, together with the troubles
Of the growers and buyers organizations
have all had an influence in bringing about
the revolution in Virginia farming, and the
result is that the tobacco plant, which has
always been produced to supply a product
Of luxury, is being crowded by the corn
plant, which produces probably at the pres
ent time the most valuable of foods Ia
feed the people of the United States and
the hungry world outside.
The school teachers of Virginia are par
t~icularly DESTROYS of being represented al
the National Corn exposition and will offer
many exhibits for the industrial depart
ment.
N. l.. Merritt. Industrial agent Of the
Norfolk & Southern Railroad company, has
notified the management OF the corn show
that he has 800 farmers interested in pro-
ducing corn for the National Corn exhibit
with the reservation made for the Vir-
ginia exhibits, there is a line of states from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific which will make
exhibits at the exposition in Omaha next
December.

OMAHA SURE OF WOOL MART
Gate City Will Get the Warehouse
Says ]. A. Delfelder.
CHICAGO HAS NO CHANCE AT IT
To Locate the Depot Elsewhere, He
POints out, wouId BE 90 Defeat
the object Of the Wool


without a doubt Omaha will get the
warehouse Of the National Wool Growers
association when the executive committee
meets in Salt Lake City, August "A. to dis
cuss the proposition Of boating the ware
lhouse." says j. A.. Delfelder, president Of
the Wyoming Wool Growers association
and vice presidert OF the Omaha and Wool
and Storage company.
IF the committee had desired to locate
the warehouse in Chicago. 1t would have
been settled at the Cheyenne meeting, said
Mr.. Delfelder. It is, 1t appears to me
that the matter vas postponed to give the
question consideration which will end in
the warehouse being located at Omaha.
"To build the warehouse at any other
point on the map would be TO defeat the
purpose Of the wool growers who want
their woods marketed in bulk and sold at
come such point at Omaha, near to where
they are grown. 1t is already two nights and
over a day from Omaha to Sheridan, and
some Of the points where large amounts
of wool are shipped. To build a wool ware
! house in Chicago would add another night
and part of a day at least and place the
woods from 1000 to 1900 miles from the
growers.
Now what the wool growers want
Is 10 eliminate the ulluuleInth anu
sell their own woods or have them sold by
their own organization, direct to the manu-
facturers. They are willing to divide the
amount they will make by cutting out the
middlemen's profits with the manufacturer
and the result is that the manufacturer
favor the western storage houses.
Army of Wool Buyers.
Every year an army OF wool buyers goes
into the Wyoming. Montana and other
western wool country. They are an ex-
pensive luxury, They live we'll, hire teams
for long drives, spend money on the grow
ers and with the business men in the towns
and are generally extravagant. on account
OF their number, l should say they spend
almost s1,OOO,OOO annually buying the crop.
They draw 1t out over as long a period as
possible, buying from $4,000 to 125, OO
pounds a week. 1t takes a long time to
buy 70,OO0,00 o po~unds-the crop Of Montana
and Wyoming, at that rate.
THE extravagant buyers are paid good
salaries and the total Of their enormous
expenses comes out of the grower. In
other words, the western wool growers are
paying for the extrsvagant method OF mar
keting the wool crop.
But Omaha. not Chicago, will give the
wool growers a better method. The Chi
cagoans have spoken too late. Omaha had
the enterprise to start a wool warehouse
and the growers have received better prices
because OF Omaha's enterprise. Some Of
the members OF the executive committee
favored Chicago at Cheyenne, but l antici-
pate that they will change their minds be-
fore they reach Salt Lake City. 1t is GER
tain that the Wyoming growers will stand
by Omaha"

Republicans
for Congress
THEY ARE NEEDED TO HELP
TAFT AND HELP COLORADO.

TAF AND HELP COIOH%OS'
The election OF a Republican SEN
ator and three Republican representa-
tiYes in Congress is almost as import
ant as the election Of Taft and Sher-
man.
Friday night Mr. Bryan urged the
people to vote for Democratic con-
gressmen. for he said he would feel
lonesome in the White House after
March 4th, unless he had Democratic
House to help him.
He need not worry-he will not be
in the White House.
MIR Taft will be in the White House;
and while he might not feel altogether
lonesome without Republican House.
his administration would be badiy
crippled and he could not accomplish
nearly as much for the good Of the
people.
Colorado should send men to Con-
gress-to the House and to the Senate
also-who will help President Taft to
carry out the Roosevelt policies, not
men who will do their utmost to
harass and annoy him.
There is very little danger that there
will be Democratic House. The
chances are perhaps ten to one that
the majority of the House will be Re
publican.
That is another reason why Colo
rado should send Republicans to Con-
gress Members of the dominant party
can do more for their constituents than
is possible for members of the minor
ity party The record of our own Re
publican representatives in the last
three Congresses is a good Illustration
of this fact Look at what they have
been able to do for this state. Com
pare it, If you like, with what John
Shafroth was able to do when he was
there.
1t stands to reason that a member
of the majority party who has the
good will of his colleagues can do more
can get what he wants better
than a member of the minority. He
can do better in committee, and he
can get recognition on the floor. which
the Democrats claim the minority can
not get.
We vote directly for Repres santatives
in Congress; but indirectly for senator
For that Office we have to vote through
the legislature.
A Republican legislature will mean
a Republican United States senator.
The Democrats are straining every
point to send Mr.. Hughes to the Sen
ate.
Let Republican voters see to it that
Republicans are sent to the Legisla-
ture this fall.
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1908-10-24
A BUSINESS MATTER.

When a man engaged in conducting
a great business hires force of men
to carry on the work. he asks them
for an accounting at the end of each
year That is what Republican state
officials believe should be done to the
people of Colorado with reference to
past administrations.
During the past six years the people
of Colorado have put Republican Off
cials in charge of state affairs. These
officials are now rendering their ac-
count. They found the state deeply in
debt, with anarchy and rebellion run
ming riot on all sides. They took a firm
hold on things and restored peace
Then they set about developing the re-
sources and revenues of Colorado and
paid off many of the debts that had
been handed down by Democratic ad-
ministrations. They now report sur
plus OF $4,000 in the state treasury,
with new laws and new departments
in active, economical operation for the
benefit of the people
Democratic candidates for Office are
in less fortunate position. When you
so to their meetings. you will note
that they utterly ignore their achieve
ments in Colorado Their record is
blank and cannot stand inspection, and
they are ashamed of 1t.

Sugar Questions
for "Honestjohn"
ShafrOth
WHICH HE DARE NOT ANSWER.

Whoever heard OF the beet sugar in
dustry until, the Republican party in
troduced it into the United States, Mr..
Shafroth?
Was it not Republican administra-
ton that brought the seed from Eu-
rope and distributed It among the
farmers to experiment with?
And after the Republicans intro
duced the sugar beet was it not Re-
publican Congress that passed a bill
paying producers of beet sugar two
cents pound bounty as an induce
ment to develop the industry?
Was it not the same Congress that
admitted beet sugar machinery into
this country free of tariff. at a time
when there was no such machinery in
this country?
Was it not the same Congress that
kept the tariff on foreign sugar to as
sist in developing the beet sugar indus
try in the United States!
Was it not the Democratic Wilson
bill that repealed this bounty and re-
duced the tariff ON foreign sugar thus
showing its enmity to the beet sugar Z
industry?
Was it not the Republican Dingley
bill that restored the protection to
beet sugar. thus building It up to its
present splendid proportions?
VIII you deny, Mr.. Shafroth, that as
representative from Colorado you re-
fused to vote for the development Of
this industry when the Dingley bill
was up?
Are you not the man who was even
AFRAID to make speech upon the sub
Ject and slipped one which was never
delivered into the appendix of the
Congressional Record, upon "leave to
print?"
And will you deny that you said in
that undelivered written speech that
the people were mot interested in the
tariff question:"
Is 1t not fact that your party lead
ers and speakers in the east are now
promising to take the tariff of sugar
while you in Colorado are promising to
keep it on?

A Difference
in Policies
ROOSEVElT'S POLICIES ARE BAD.
CY ANTED-BRYAN'S ARE
FORGOTTEN.

What are the Roosevelt policies?
In the minds of most people they
are something which President Roose
welt has put into practice and in some
instances Mr.. Bryan has put into
words. They are good policies; other
wise there would not be SO many
claimants for them
Now what are the Bryan policies?
This is different proposition. isn't
it? 1t makes one want to reach out
for copy of the political history of
the United States for the past twelve
years great, big. thick book
with lots of room in it. For the Bryan
policies have been many and numer
Gus. But there is no quarrel as to their
ownership and even Mr.. Bryan doesn't
refer to some of them nowadays

railroads, imperialism-oh, where is
that book?
The Roosevelt policies are only an
exemplification of the Square Deal.
them, but they are far-reaching and
effective. They have penetrated the
thick legal crust that hedges about
dishonest corporations; they have en-
tered the inner chambers of high fl
nancial sharks; they have brushed
aside the destroyers of content among
laboring men and given the laboring
man wise legislation and good wages;
they have brought peace to the world
when the grim sword of war was un-
sheathed; they have drained the
swamps of Panama and made possible
the Panama canal; they have created
sentiment for proper notifications OF
the tariff; they have restored prosper
ity in the face of Wall Streets manip-
! ulations; they are bringing about reg
ulation without ruination; they have
brought water to the parched plains
of the West; they have maintained
equal justice for the negro: they have
built up a great navy; they have been
wise and constructive and the people
want more OF such government.

ShafrOth Serves
Water Company
IN CONGRESS AND OUT.-lF FOR
AkER RETIRES, HOW CAN
SHAFROTH REMAIN?

Senator Foraker has apparently
been retired from public life on the
mere accusation that he acted in Con
gress in the capacity of attorney for
corporation. He denies the fact, and
it has NOT been proved, but the mere
attack has apparently been enough 70
place him on the retired list.
John Shafroth when he was in Con
gress, acted for the Denver Union
Water Company to get valuable priv.
ilege passed through the House foi
them. and the record shows it.
Prior to that time he had been a
torney for this corporation, and he has
acted as attorney for them since.

Mr.. Cannon: That is held not to BE-

Mr. Shafroth: Yes. it is wise under
these circumstances. | will explain
the provision of this bill The bill was
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Teller and passed the Senate about a
week ago.
Mr.. Speaker: The water CON.
pany that furnishes water for the
city of Denver is at present erecting
very large reservoir up in the mos,n,
tains. This reservoir is going to cost
somewhere in the neighborhood Of
81 geo 600 and it's near completion.
This company supplies the citizens of
Denver with water for drinking pur-
poses and other domestic use. So far.
they have found difficulty in protecting
what may be termed the water shed
for that reservoir. For instance, they
have found dead animals in tae stream
above which communicates the water.
They feel that in order to get a pure
water supply it is absolutely neces-
sary that this land be sold to them by
the government The bill originally
introduced took in about 10000 acres
of land but the Senate committee after
examining the matter very carefully
cut it down to 1000 and some odd
acres II takes in the water shed that
covers this reservoir. SO that they can
fence it, so that they can prevent any
contamination of the waters of the res
crvoir. Some provision of this kind
is absolutely necessary in order to in
sure the purity of the water. These
lands are worth practically nothing
They are rocky lands. This reservoir
is located. l think, about 5000 feet
above the sea level 1t is some 200
feet in depth. it extends about seven
miles in one direction. 1t is so large
