Evidence is plentiful that the effect Of
Gompers' attempt to influence labor for
Bryan is not very productive of results.
An illustration in point occurred at a
monday meeting In New York OF the
Commercial Travellers Republican AS
ISOLATION. John w. Armstrong, an or
ganizer for the International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers, who was
sent TO Maine by President Gompers to
make speeches for the Democratic State
ticket, came out for Taft and Sherman
In his speech he said
The men whom | have met and con-
versed with In the American Federation
OF Labor are, as a rule, of the opinion
that it would be unwlse to support Mr..
Bryan. The election of Mr.. Taft means
the resumption Of business upon safe
and sound lines. have an abiding
faith in the intelligence and loyalty OF
the workingmen to vote for Taft and
the party and principles that made 1t
possible for our workingman to occupy
the eminent position he does, as COM
pared with the position occupied by the
unfortunate brother in the Democratic
South, where the Democratic party has
opposed the enactment of factory laws,
child labor laws and the organization
Of workingmen."
Vice President Philip Davis and Sec
rotary s. L. Ingram of the Central La
Dor Union Of Terre Haute, Ind, issued
a statement repudiating the announce
ment that Samuel Gompers is to speak
in Terre Haute under the auspices of
the central body of organized labor.
vice President Davis said: Members
of the Central Union are divided on
party lines, and for this reason 1t is
not just that the union should invite
Mr.. Gompers to make Democratic
speech. Let him come at the instance
of the Democratic central committee"

Fin islanders, Sugar Cane Dance.

A very curious and exceedingly
clever dance may be witnessed in Fiji,
called by the natives the sugar cane
meke," or sugar cane dance. II repre-
sents the growth of the sugar cane.
In the first figure the dancers squat
low on the ground, shake their heads.
shut their eyes and murmur slowly
and softly an unintelligible sentence
Gradually they all stand up together,
growing taller and taller, and as they
grow" they wave their arms and
tremble all over from ankle to head,
like the tall, tasselled cane waving i'm
the wind, and still they keep on chant
ing louder and louder.
The last figure represents a series
of combats meant to symbolic the ex-
actions of the chiefs, who compel the
"kaisi," willing or unwilling, to come
and cut their crops.

that we have outgrown that infancy

Times Too Prosperous for One Kan
sTs Farmer, He Says.
Saline County farmer. who came
TO the country i'll the early days and
accumulated six or eight hundred acres
of farm lands, who has raised lots of
wheat and corn and always voted the
Republican ticket. national state and
county, declares that he is going to vote
for Bryan this year, says the Salina
(Kan.) Journal. His argument is
peculiar one and from a Democratic
STANDPOINT is a good one. Mr. Farmar
says he is land hungry and wants more
Kansas lands, but because IL is too high
he is unable to acquire it. He declares
that the price of wheat is too high. and
likewise the price of corn. With a low
er price on wheat and corn and other
farm products the price of farm lands
is bound to decline and when the price
has been reduced he will be enabled 70
purchase more farms.
Mr.. Farmer says the election of Bry
an Is sure to reduce prices on every.
thing-wEeat, corn, rye, alfalfa, oats

long life in the public service is
distinguishing for its marked
ability, its wisdom, its integrity,
It's patriotism. He has taken adj
vanced grounds on the great is
sues that are engaging the pro-
fOundest thought of the people
of this great country.
"Now from somewhat inti-

the last twenty years I say that
he Is progressive in principle and

The Senator then reviewed Mr..
Taft's career for the last ten

called on to advise by two Presi-

which gave them the greatest
concern.

AS final question, Mr.. Bryan, ad-

CONSERVATION OF
NATURAL RESOURCES
Far Reaching Policy for the Good
Of All the People.
Republican Party Uncovering Vast
Wealth and Making Home Own
ing Easier Each Year.

An extremely important feature of
the constructive Republican policy is
the national movement for the conser-
walton Of the natural resources of the
country. This measure has been orig
mated by the present Republican adj
ministration and, like the homestead
law, the national irrigation act and
other measures for the benefit of the
whole people, its influence is destined
to be far reaching and productive of
great good to the home builders of tine
country.
The National Conservation Commits
sion as 1t exists to-day is an outgrowth
Of the Inland Waterways Commission
this Commission was appointed by
President Roosevelt in March, 1907. In
his letter creating the Waterways Com
mission the President uses this Ian
guage: '"rhat the Inland Waterways
Commission shall consider the relations
OF the streams to the use of all the
permanent natural resources and their
conservation for the making and main
tenance of prosperous homes"
Home Building for the People.
The inquiries of the commission along
the lines indicated led to the proposal
to the President on Oct. that he call
conference on the general subject of
The conservation of the national re-
sources Of the nation. Among other
reasons mentioned for this movement
their letter to the President stated :
Hitherto our national policy has been
one of almost unrestricted disposal of
natural resources, and this in more Law
ish measure than by any other nation
in the worlds history; and this policy
Of tie federal government has been
shared by the constituent States. Three
consequences have ensued: First, I'M
precedented consumption Of natural re-
sources; second, exhaustion Of these
resources to the extent that a large
part of our available public lands have
passed into great estates or corporate
interests, our forests are so far depict
VI 40 " multiply Tic SOSI VI lOfeSt
products, and our supplies of coal and
iroS ore are so far reduced as to en-
nance prices; and third, unequalled OPP
portunity for private monopoly, to the
extent that both the federal and State
sovereignties have been compelled to
enact laws for the protection of the
people.
1--WE are of opinion that the time has
come for considering the policy of con-
serving these material resources on
which the permanent prosperity Of our
country and the equal opportunity of
all our people must depend we are also
Of opinion that the policy of conserva-
tion has so marked an advance on that
