Secretary Taft has conferred with
the President in relation to the pro-
posed purchase of 100000 acres of land,
some houses and other property in the
Mantiago and Orienta provinces of
Cuba. This purchase is largely for the
purpose of paeification, as the land has
been settled upon by Cuban soldiers.
the veterans of the Cuban revolution.
If the land is not purchased these set
tiers, who are merely squatters, would
be dispossessed in the process of the
church taking control of its property.

The nomination of James s. Sherman
of New York for Vice President is not
likely to add popular strength to the
Republican ticket.
Mr.. Sherman is virtually unknown to
the people, though he has served in Con-
greSs for many years and was an as
nlrant to the speakership at the begin
ming of the last Congress. His name
is not identified with any great public
measure. He has not risen to emf

rights. In Congress his reputation is
confined to his knowledge of parlia-

One reason why the West has greater

tanning Farm hands to help in gather
ing the harvest may be found in bull
letin issued by the bureau of immigra-
ton at Washington. The bureau re-
ports that nearly 100000 laborers have
left the United States since last Octo-
Der, returning to their homes In Europe.
During the first four months of this
year 239,010 laborers went back to Eu-
rope, compared to 96,T31 for the same
period of 1907. II addition to this
drain on the labor supply, the bureau
says, the number of Immigrants who
arrived In this country In the first four
months of this year was only 1892,
as compared with 404,332 who landed
between January and June of last
year The net loss to the labor supply
for the four months was 114,61S, while
the loss since last October will be IL
excess of 100000 Nevertheless, the
number of men out of employment in
the large cities should be great enough
to guarantee farmers abundance Of
help.
