Taft And The Others.

Ther, are sound and substantial
reasons for the conspicuous progress
OF the candidacy of Secretary Taft
and for the stationary character OF
the candidates. opposed to him.
These reasons cover the whole politi-
cal field. First of all the kind
of man Taft is, the work he has
done, the way he has done it, the
principles he ,upholds and his courag-
'eous loyalty to the President, whom
the people elected by the greatest
vote ever given party nominee--all
these things mark him as the kind OF
man the country wants for President.
There is also purely political aspect
Of the situation.
rle Republican party is tre-
mendpusly adhesive organization.
AN 2 whole it is as strongly ambitious
to retain the reins of government as
ever before. It's factional divisions
must again be harmonizcd, as they
have been harmonized before, by
the will OF the party masses to noni-
nate for President the man who will
have the best chance to win. BY this
time even the Eastern politicians
know that an avowed and aggressive
reactionary, openly OF tacitly fighting
the administration OF President Roose-
welt, standing with and for those in
terests seeking to reverse the policies
OF that administration, could not be
elected against Democrat like John
son, or even Mr.. Bryan. They know,
too, that the people could not be de-
ceived by naming a western man like
Cannon or Shaw, for both of these
men are reactionary to the marrow,
They are not in tune with the West,
nor are they in tune with the great
majority OF Republicans in the East.
The nomination OF Fairbanks or Knox
would make it absurd even to pretend
that they represent the sentiment OF
the party as whole. The only thing
that has been made definite about the
candidacy OF Governor Hughes is that
he is urged by the reactionary ele'
ment OF his own state, by those whose
motto is, "Any one to beat Taft, -
This support, taken with the silence
OF Mr.. Hughes on national issues, has
prevented him from arousing interest
outside of his own state. No one
takes the candidacy OF Senator LaFol
iette seriously, although he has more
than earned the honor ot presenta
,ion to the convention of his state.
TAFT is peither Eastern or Western

That this dangerous fruit tree pest is
already present in sonc portions of the
state is now well known. In some sec
tions it is causing great damage to orch
ards. In some localities methods Of con
troll have been successfully adopted and
the frui, trees are thus being saved. In
other localities it is probably present but
on account OF the recent introduction,
fruit tree OWNERS are still unfamiliar with
its appearance and are consequently
unaware OF its presence upon their premi.
scs II allowed to continue unchecked
i, is but question of few years when
Young orchards, now thrifty and vigor-
Gus, will he practically destroyed.
That the larger percent Of the fruit
growing area OF Missouri is yet entirely
free from infestaticn by this pest is prob.
able. This condition makes it highly
important that all owners of fruit trees
become familiar with the insect and at
once put into practice measures of con-
troll wherever it is known TO exist
1t is to the interest of every fiuit
grower in Missouri, who has any reason
to suspect it possible that his property
now harbors this insect, to send speci.

Vicious GoSsip.

The Statesman sail, last week, at
is whispered around that a business
house or SO in Versailles, is about to
go to the wall, that is to say, as it is
reported, they are about to fail"
Strange, how some, when brother
is going down, will give him an extra
shove and kick and help him down
the quicker. The above is sharp
slash at insolvent firms, if there be
any, and is also reflection on every
solvent firm in the city, for it sets the
tongue Of gossip and SANDER going,
and every firm in town will be guess
ed before the contest closes. Posi-
bly, the Versailles business world ap-
preciates such criminally idle gossip,
slander and slurs, and will stand by
the man who stands by them to help
them down and out. There should
not be failure in Versailles. While
it is true that business has not been
SO active since the recent furry, yet
the prospects for prosperous busi-
ness year is bright, and with the mer-
chants standing together all may share
in the coming prosperity. The fail
ure of one is an injury to all, and we
hope and believe the rumors are false.

Whatever the extent of the unpopular

LAW OF 1907 rs ATTACKED.

The constitutionality of the law OF
1907 in regard to the testimonv OF wit
nesses at a preliminary hearing was
argued yesterday in the supreme court,
the constitutionality of the law being
attacked by Attorney M%orehouse, who
represented George Gibson being tried
for the murder of Engineer Mansell at
Goldfeld. The law provides that a
stenographer may keep a record OF the
evidence, etc, taken at a preliminary
hearing and that in case of the abb
sence of any of the witnesses at the
trial, the evidence taken by the steno-
grapher may be submitted. The prin-
cipal ground on which the law is at
tackled is that the defense or the
state, as the case may be, has no
chance to impeach the witness owing
owing to the fact that a ground for
an impeachment cannot be laid
Gibson shot Mansell to death as the
result of a quarrel of a petty nature.
After a long trial he was convicted
of manslaughter and sentenced to
serve five years in the penitentiary.-

CANADA rs TO SOW
A BIG WHEAT AREA

OTTAWA, Ont.-Reports received
from various points in the western
provinces of Canada, tells of great
activity in the preparations for sow
ing The wheat outlook in these prai-
RE provinces is encouraging. although
the spring is late. The disappoint-
ments of last season have apparently
inspired the farmers to make stronger
efforts, and there is a general determl-
nation to break all records during the
coming harvest time.
lie chief interest in the production
Of crops is directed towardS the pro-
duction of wheat becaue that is an ex-
port commodity. The Aggregate yield
of wheat in Manitoba and Alberta last
year amounted, in the latest govern
ment reports to 73,066,636 bushels, as
compared with 101 100000 bushels the
year previous. Practically all of last
years crop has been marketed, the
amount now being held by the farm
ers, exclusive of grain for seed, be
ing estimated at less than 3,000,0 900
bushels. At this time last year nearly
5000, 900 bushels remained on the
farmers hands. 1t is expected that
the total area in wheat in the provin-
ces this year win be close to 100000
acres. The wheat area in Ontario and
other provinces of the Dominion will
also be greatly increased.
