A WORTHY PLAN.

Congressman Anthony has intro
duced a bill to appropriate $4,000 to
buy the land adjoining the Soldiers
home at Leayenworth. This land is
occupied by what is called the "Klon-
dyke" a row of low dives and joints
which prey upon the old soldiers of
the home. Governor Stanley closed
the district and drove its vultures out
of business temporarily while he was
governor, but Congressman Anthony
has suggested the only successful
plan of putting it out of business, and
that is to have the government buy
the land and eject the dives.-Wichita

REPUBLICANS GET READY
 FOR BRYAN LANDSLIDE

Washington, November 2.-(Special)- There is more or less hedging on Taft in election forecasts printed by the republic an afternoon papers. The Times which is supporting Taft for instance, says: "On the most part forecasts today, among dis interested people. elected Taft by giving him New ' ork, conceding Ohio to Bryan and making Indiana an even thing"
 The Star (republican) devotes an edi- torial to ''landslides' and consoles it. self with the statement that if there Is a landslide for Bryan tomorrow 1t Will stand alone as being predicted, the land- slides of 1890, 1892 and 1904 having come without warning, all of which seems to indicate that the Star. now that the elec- tion is at hand will not be greatly sur prised at a Bryan landslide.
 The Star says in part: '"rhere was q landslide in 1890, but it came without premonition. Maine led in the congressional elections, and the delegation to the House remained solidly republican, MT. Reed. who as speaker had just reformed the House rules after a stormy contest felt assured that the next House would be republican and he it's speaker. The dem- ocrats were not hopeful.

CHAFIN WINDS UP
 A "DRY" CAMPAIGN

Milwaukee, Wis, November 2.-Eugene w. Chain. the prohibition candidate Tor President closed his campaign tonight in Milwaukee, speaking in his native state to a large audience. In his campaign MT Chain has travelled 3,0OO miles, has been on the road for 103 days, speaking on an average of five times a day, and has ao- dressed audiences in 3S states.

later the republicans were showed under, MT. Mckinley. who had just drawn and passed the tariff bill bearing his name, disappearing with many others from view.
 In 1892 there was no premonition of what was impending. That the voters would condemn so worthy and successful an ad- ministration as that Gener9l Harrison had given the country was in few if any minds. With Tammany appearing to sullxs, New York seemed impossible to the democrats and without New York how could MT. Cleveland succeed? The dyna- mite in the Homestead strike nobody de- tected. When the votes were counted democrats and republicans alike were as- founded. There was the landslide, but as a surprise.
 Things looked promising for MT. Roose- welt in 1904. but that q popular majority of 2500 000 votes awaited him was not in the calculation of the most sanguine of his supporters. He himself-ordinarily one of the most astute of campaigners- did not few weeks before the election know the situation in his own state of New York. D. H.

INVESTIGATION SHOWS
MUCH FRUIT THERE,

Today's Plateau Voice contains n
list of reports complied from all sec
tions of the Plateau valley regarding
the fruit crop. Heading these re-
ports is this statement:
after phoning to nearly 20 grow
ers. representing every portion of the
Plateau valley, the Voice representa-
tive has decided that our fruit crop
this season will be simply great.
ITO be sure, few orchards were
touched by frost and the bulk of the
crop destroyed, this occurring only
at Mesa where the season opens a
little earlier; but even in these or
chards there is fair sprinkling left,
scarcely place rating as low as one
fourth of crop.
what is more surprising is that
there is the usual showing of peach
es, pears, plums, prunes, cherries and
nectarines, nothing being wanting in
the list of orchard fruits"
