FARMERS WANTED

Wanted-3,0 900 practical farmers who
would like to own homes of their own.
The Government has nearly 0,OOC
acres of land lying under various irri-
cation projects throughout the west fo1
which water will be available next sea-
son. The farm unit on these projects
varies in most cases from 40 to 80 acres
of irrigable land, depending upon loca-
ton. In many sections tract of graz
ing land has been included in the farm
unit wherever practicable, bringing
the total up to $50 acres.
The only charge for these farms, be-
sides the regular land Office fee for fill
ing, is the actual cost of getting water
to them, and payment may be made in
ten annual instruments, without inter
est.
These irrigation projects are scattered
over the entire arid region, from Cana
da to the Mexican line. In consequence,
every variety of crop grown in the
temperate zone can be raised under
them. If you would like. fruit or
dairy farm, garden for market truck,
a tract for diversified farming, hog OR
poultry raising, just write to the Stat
istician of the u. S. Reclamation Ser
vice, Washington, D. c., for particulars.

JENKINS ANSWERS QUESTIONS

The advertisement announcing Con-
gresham Jenkins speech at Cumber-
land last week read as follows:
Congressman John j. Jenkins will
speak in Uecke's opera house, Wednes-
day evening. He Will be
pleased to answer any questions you
may wish to ask concerning his past
acts in congress as your representative
there. Write your questions on paper
and provision will be made to take
them up, or you may ask them on the
floor of the hall. If you are not salts
fed with his past record as your con-
gresham, then you have here an OPP
portunity to ask him why he or con-
gress did not do some things you may
think ought to have been done. This
is fair proposition, and should ap-
peal to every fair minded voter.
The report of the speech from the
Cumberland Advocate contained the
following paragraph:
advertising his desire to answer all
questions touching his record in con-
gress, he appeared very much provoked
over series of nine questions, couch
ed in courteous language, which were
handed in, and made evasive answers
to three and ignored the balance. -

U, RAH, RAH, WISCONSIN!

Recognition of an unusual and
authoritative kind has come to the
University of Wisconsin. At the re-
cent commencement of Harvard Uni
versity President Eliot, in confering
on President Van Hise the honorary
degree of doctor of laws, recorded as
one of the warrants for the investiture
the fact that Charles Richard Van Hise
was: president Of the leading state
university, the University of Wiscon-
sin. -
Wisconsin the leading state univer-
sity! That is the finding of Harvard
university, as promulgated by its
president and officially inscribed on
the records of the institution. No
personal opinion this, which though it
were the thought Of President Eliot
himself, would be but an individual ex-
preston. 1t is the fiat of America s
foremost institution of learning, adj
vanced as one of its duly considered
reasons for comforting one of it's most
coveted degrees.

state universities Michigan, Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois, California, Minnesota,

ably some voters whose political views
do not agree with any of them.
The principal difference between the
fundamental policies of Mr.. jenkins
and Mr.. Lenroot is that one believes in
gang rule and the other does not. Jen-
hins says congressman has got to
.'stand i'm with the gang if he is to
accomplish anything. Lenroot says he
will not support anything he believes
to be wrong if he has to buck the gang
single handed. There are already a
few men in Congress who adhere to
Lenroot's policy and, now that the peo-
pie have voice in nominating the cam
didates in a large number of states,
their numbers in congress are increas-
ing. Jenkins is relic of the old con-
vention gang rule system.
One does not have to go to Washing
ton to see gang rule in operation. You
can witness plenty of it in state, county,
and town affairs, and it is
the same gang all the way down.

ALLEGED DEMOCRATS

A few alleged democrats OF Lewis
ton who have found II convenient to
bolt every democratic ticket nominal
ed for the past six years, held an al
legged mass meeting in that city and
passed resolutions eliminating the
Mormon question as party issue on
the alleged ground OF religious perse-
cution. Probably II these alleged
democrats were located in southeast

mos In the practice OF polygamy. II
they do not already practice II Sc
eretly. The trouble with this element
Is that Il has never been satisfied
with the swelling of the ranks OF
democracy by the reception OF new re-
cruits and wishes the party to con-
tinue In the old rut without pride OF
progress enough to take up an issue
and tigt II out ON principle.
The Lewiston crowd seemed to take
particular delight In attacking Hon
Fred T. Dubois and. in fact. the al
legged mass meeting seemed to be
composed wholly OF persons who
wished to force Mr.. Dubois out Of the
party. They gave no good reason for
their attack on him, but 1t was ap,
parent from the drift OF things that
he Is too progressive for the men who
claim to be democrats. but who never
vote the ticket. We do not anticipate
that their action will amount to much

TAFT ON STATE RIGHTS
Would Not Minimize Their Import
ance, SAYS In Speech.


TRENTON, N. j.. March 24.-Sec-
rotary Taft and Baron Takahira
spoke before the chamber of com
merce last night. A special recep-
ton to the distinguished visitors took
place In the assembly chamber In the
statehouse at 7 o'clock. The two
houses were in session and the gal
leries and Hobbies were crowded with
spectators. Baron Takahira spoke
only brisfiy. Mr.. Taft was given a
rouslng reception. He dealt with the
duties OF legislators and discussed
the relation OF the states to the fed
eral government, Mr., Taft said the
development OF the country had made
some federal matters relatively more
important than state matters, when
compared with conditions OF a hun
bred years ago, but said this did not
mean surrender of the states
rights. He added:
II tremble to think what this gov
eminent would be II everything was
conferred on the Potomac in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The states, gov
ernors and legislatures must not lose
their sense of responsibility in respect
to their duty within their functions
lest the movement In favor of min
imizing the state power shall gain in
strength.
AT the conclusion of the exercises
at the statehouse the visitors were
driven to the Masonic temple, where
the chamber of commerce banquet
took place. There were over 45O
guests seated at the tables in the
hall, which was profusely decorated
with American and Japanese flags
Baron Takahira was roundly applaud
ed.
The ambassador told his audience
something about trade relations be.
tween Japan and the United States
and the world and put in good
word for the coming international ex-
position at Toxic In 1919.
Mr.. Taft spoke on The National
Outlook" He said:
1T Is a great pleasure to every one
that Baron Takahira has returned az
ambassador. The relations between
Japan and the United States during
the last two years have much occu,

"A number of the European press
were determined that there should
be war between the United States and
Japan, even If both parties we're de-
termined not to have 1t. Disturb
ances at San Francisco and the diplo-
matte controversies that arose were
made the occasion for the circulation
of the most distressing rumors, which
were from time to time repeated.
1T was found, however, that moth
ing had occurred at San Francisco
which was not within the power Of
the two governments to settle by or
binary diplomatic methods. The
question of immigration seems quite
within the power of the two govern
ments, without legislation on either
side, to bring to satisfactory adjust
ment.
Then these same scribes and
prophets of evil made themselves
hoarse with their shouts about the
sending of the feet of battleships to
the Pacific. Alas, for the reputation
of these prophets of evil; no sooner
had the feet reached our western
shores on the Pacific than the gov
eminent of Japan sends most cor
dial invitation couched in the friend
lest terms asking that our feet visit
the ports of Japan. This invitation
the government has accepted in the
same cordial tone, because 1t realizes
the sincerity of the hospitality Of

ton and control; of the Lao Tung

sources. with our coast line and with
