ROOSEVELT
MAY BRING
TAFT WEST

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 3d.
It is rumored here that Roosevelt
and Taft will visit the Pacific
coast late in October. The story
is that they will visit San Fran
cisco and speak from the same
platform going and returning.
Leading republicans think 1t
would be fine thing for Roosevelt
to introduce Taft to voters.
Loeb today made statement
that Roosevelt has no present In
tention of making speaking tour
on behalf of Taft. He says the
president never has stated that he
will take the stump.

PASSES UP HIS
$4,000 CASE

Where is c. N. Frazer? That
question has been bothering Attor-
ney George A. Latimer for several
days past, but if Frazer should turn
up now it would do him no good
and Mr.. Latimer ceases to be furth-
er troubled about the mans where
abouts except, perhaps, for a posi-
BILE fee.
A suit against the Great North
ern railroad for $4,000 damages
instituted by Frazer has been pend
ing for some time. The case had
been set for hearing today in Judge
Kennan's court and for the past
week Latimer has been trying to
locate his client to inform him
of the date. He could not be
found and this morning did not APP
pear in court. The only thing left
to do was to have the case dis
missed. Accordingly a motion for
the dismissal of the case without
prejudice to either side was made
and granted.
The complaint states that the
plaintiff, laborer, sustained Sc
we're injury In a headon collision
of a west bound train and freight
at Highland, August II, 1907, while

CHAMP CLARK
COMING HERE

Congressman Champ Clark, the
democratic "wah-hoss" Of Pike
county, Missouri, will address
democrats in this city, probably
October 10. The news was re-
ceived this morning, with the addi-
tional information that Clark and
George Fred Williams of Massa-
chusetts will be here together and
each will deliver an address the
same night. Plans for hall have
not yet been made. 1t is possible
that either Elks' temple or the
stock tent at the fair grounds will
be secured.
Champ Clark is a noted speaker
and writer, as is also Williams.
and the democrats are preparing
to make their appearance the occa-
sion of the biggest hurrah of the
campaign.

LET COMPANIES
BUILD THE
BRIDGES

City Commissioner Witherspoon
is firmly impressed with the wis
dom and desirability of compelling
the street railway companies. If it
can be done, to build their own
bridges across the river. The w.
w. P. uses its own bridge after be-
ing forced from the Monroe street
bridge and has found that it works
satisfactorily.
Corporation Counsel Hamblen
has stated that he believes the w.
w. p. will stand by their offer of
two years ago to pay $20,700 TO-
ward the cost of the Howard street
bridge. Harry Blocker is quoted
as saying the company's offer is
still good
But nobody knows definitely, al
though the work goes ahead on the
city's responsibility
And there Is the Graves example
on East Olive staring the city in
the face.
The effort TO have the city coun-
Gil build a concrete bridge at Olive
avenue is coming up again at the
next regular meeting of the city
council. as the advocates Of con-
crete do not propose to let the
matter rest. A feeling is apparent
among the members II the council
favoring the delay OF all further
definite action in bridge building
In this particular instance at least
until settlements can lie made With
the street railway companies.

G. F. Hubbard, state labor com.

is to issue biennial report, which
will contain an interesting COM
parison of wages, rents and costs
of living. This will be the first
time such subject has been dis
cussed in the state report. While
here Mr.. Hubbard will meet the
health board and discuss condi-
tons, particularly as to bake
shops, a matter over which he has
general state supervision. The
state labor laws, he says, are now
generally lived up to and viola

WHY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
SHOULD BE SUCCESSFUL

/
ganlzes the National VIII.
In the evolution by which party
government has become the
extra constitutional method of
securing responsibility to the
people the republican party has
become their traditional repre-
sentative and the democratic
party the organized aspiration
of individ uals for power without
responsibility. Fairly tried from
1893 to 1895, the two democratic
houses and the democratic presi-
dent were a "wlld team" and d
helpless driver. Democracy ag-
itates local differences, republi-
canism organizes the national
idea. In 1868 the people were
committed to the cause of human
liberty; the idea of Liberty and
Union" expanded for the first
time into the reality of the
American nation.
In 1879 money was committed
to specie basis; specie was at
once. until 1893. no longer
sought, and government bonds
went to premium at the reduc-
ed rate of interest. In 1896 busi-
ness men were again committed
to confidence; before a single
statnte was enacted prosperity
set in and in ten years bank de-
pOsitS al most trebled-a perma-
nent gain which the recent panic,
u estate of mind" now complete
ly dispelled, scarcely touched.
In 1906 business was committed
to fair methods; without COM
pulsion violations largely ceased.
The republican party at each
period, sounded the public con-
science, felt the notional pulse,
framed its policies in response,
and realized in law the dominant
American idea. Its constructive
past insures it's constructive
future. 1t is today as it always
has been, "The party fit to Gov
ern."

tions to national progress. The
roster of it's leaders is the ma
tional roll of honor of public
service.
V. Taft and Sherman Constructive
Candidates--A Constructive
Platform.
Republicanism stands today
for progressive policies in safe
hands. By solving the con-
structive problems of world
power in the last two admins
trations William Fl. Taft taught
the world our capacity and US
his own. In all constructive
legislation for twenty years
James S. Sherman has been
leader. In the records of the
republican candidates as we'll as
in the platform are written the
story of the nations progress
and the reliance of the future.
A democratic president or
democratic house would turn
back those pages; thereafter
Organism would record "Des-
truction." This the republican
senate could not prevent. Under
Taft and Sherman and a republi-
can congress the great progress
of the past will be held and the
greater progress of the future
will be assured.

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object of this story is to call atten-
tiOn once more, and for perhaps the thou
Sandth time, to the riches of the soil along
the Colorado on both sides, incident to the
depositidg of this mass of debris during all
the past ages. Going through the country
on the Arizona side OF the river, for several
miles below Yuma, one encounters the same
type Of country and soil that is found in the
Imperial Valley country around Brawley,
CaleXcO and other poin Us west of the river
The fertility OF the black prairie soils of Ili-
noiS has astonished people engaged IN agri-
culture for nearly one hundred years. The
fertility of the valleys of the Nile has been a
matter of history for at least 5000 years. Those
who arc familnr with Illinois prairie soil,
and those who know what the valley of the
Nile is for agriculture. know that this lower
Colorado River region surpasses both of them.
If you ask a farmer along this stretch of
country if the soil is six feet, his eyes will
open with astonishment al your ignorance
He will tell you no one knows whether it is
60 feet, G0o 5000 feet deep. 1t is practically
without bottom. II is SO thoroughly well
mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and
other rocks that it never breaks. 1t is Us
easily worked as a heap of ashes, and re-
spends to cultivation in a way that is mar

CUT SEVEN CROPS YEARLY.

Arizona has established an experiment
station in the heart of this big valley, which
is some twcnty-four miles long, and in spots
ten TO twelve miles wide, down on the lower
level. The results are wonderful. Last week
they were cutting q crop of alfalfa on this ex-
perimental farm, and for seven consecutive
months they will cut succeeding crops. The
only months when the crop Is not cut here are
December and January.
Cotton and tobacco grow with the greatest
luxuriance, and this rich alluvial soil will be
noted in very few years as the ideal spot IN
the whole country for dairying, hog raising
the production of poultry and vegetables which
one heSitates to call early or late, as they will
be perennial. New potatoes will be produced
in the middle of January, tomatoes will be
ripe by the first of March, ripe grapes will be
gathered i'll the early days of May, and apri
cots by the middle of the same month Chic.
lIenS and turkeys flourish there in the winter
time beyond all experience anywhere else.
