WESTERN FARMERS PROSPEROUS
Secretary Wilson Declares AgricuItur-
alists Are Indulging In Every
Luxury.

Washington.-"The average laborer
Is today living better than Queen Eli
zabeth did in her time" said james
Wilson, secretary of agriculture, upon
his return from a months vacation
on his Iowa farm. He was discussing
the prosperous farmers of the west
and the high wages Of the working
men in the east.
The secretary was asked II the
western farmers were really investing
such large sums of money in auto
mobiles.
There is too much truth in those
reports" he responded. The farmer
Is out of debt. He has paid for his
farm, his fences and his machinery.
He has money in his pockets and big
crops continue to come on. He is
afraid to invest in eastern securities,
lest year might bring trouble there
AS result, he puts his money in lux
uries, instead of channels that might
give return. Why, folks in the east
don't know what Injuries are; they
must go west to find out"

PRESIDENT DECLARES LABOR

LAWFUL MANNER.
viii Recommend to Next Congress
Legislation on the Injunction
Favors Change In Civil and
Criminal Court Procedure.

Chicago-A strong defense OF
manner was the feature of an address
by President Taft in Orchestra hall
Thursday night. The president also
said he would recommend to the next
congress legislation on the injunction,
as promised by the Republican plat
the non-union laborer be fully protect
ed, saying nobody should be allowed
to force him into unions.
President Taft devoted the second
section of his address to the courts. He
declared no question before the Amer
lean people is more important than
the Improvement of administration of
Justice. He said he would recommend
to congress the appointment of COM
mission to take up the question OF the
laws delay in the federal courts and
he hoped the report of this commits
sioh would serve as a guide to the
states IN effecting remedial legislation.
The president asserted that the ad-
ministration Of criminal law is dis
grace to American civilization, as the
poor man has not an equal opportun-
ity with the rich litigant. He said
he would discuss the tariff later upon
his journey.
Mr.. Taft's address was the principal
event of his visit to Chicago. Before
speaking, he rode through the South
Park system and reviewed 10000
school children assembled to do him
honor, took luncheon with the Com
mercial club and attended ball game
in which the New York Nationals de-

TO FIGHT PROHIBITION.
Taxpayers of Idaho Will Organize
League In Every County.

Boise, Ida-As an outgrowth of the
taxpayers league in this city, backed
by leading business men, and whose
activities were responsible for the de.
feat of prohibition at the recent local
option election here, the entire state
is to be organized on similar lines
and the principal purpose of the move
ment will be to defeat the plan to Sc
cure enactment of statewide pro-
hibition law. The plan has been prac-
tically agreed upon for several days,
and rumors concerning 1t have been
afloat but it was only on Thursday
that positive information was avail
able. 1t is the purpose to organize a
league in every county in the state
and to hold state convention. The
organization will not enter the politi.
cal field excepting when it may be
necessary to fight the prohibition
forces. The members will act as a
unit in that connection. No saloon
man will be identified with the move
ment, the plan being to make 1t a

TRAIN ROBBERY IN COLORADO
Five Men Hold Up Passenger Train
and Dynamite Express Car, But
Secure No Booty.

Leadville, Colo.-A daring attempt
to rob the second section Of the Den
yer & Rio Grande No. 5 passenger
train was made about l o'clock Thurs
day night four miles west Of Malta, q
small station near Leadville. The eX-
press car was dynamited, but, accord
ing to the trainmen, no booty was Sc
cured.
1t is believed that the five men,
who were engaged in the holdup.
crawled on the two engines Of No. 5
OF Malta. The train had proceeded
but a short distance when the two
men crawled over the tender of each
engine and compelled the engineers
and firemen to march to the express
car. Engineer Smith Of the first en-
CINE was told to hammer on the door
and order the express messenger to
open 1t. The latter, however, refused
to open the door and a charge of dy-
Mantle was placed under 1t and the
door blown open.
Three of the robbers rushed in,
covering the express messenger with
their revolvers. He was ordered to
open the safe, but without result, ex-
cept to completely wreck the interior
of the car.
After firing parting volley Of shots
the robbers disappeared in the dark
ness.
One of the trainmen in the mean
time had reached Malta and Sheriff
Campbell with a posse at once started
for the scene.
II is rumored that the safe con-
tanned very large sum of money, but
this cannot be confirmed.

SETS BALL ROLLING.
saIlinqer-Pinchot Controversy May
Now Be Resumed.

Washington-Expressions of opinion
among those familiar with the situa-
ton. indicates that the president has
merely set the ball rolling in the Bal
linger-Pinchot matter.
The CLAWS charges will be made pub
lie, either through a congressional in
vestigation or otherwise. Friends of
Clifford Pinchot, chief forester, say that
he forced the restoration of withdraw
ais of wateypower-site lands in the pub
lie domain, which had previously been
Withdrawn by ex-President Roosevelt,
and the withdrawal was suspended by
Mr.. Ballinger. President Taft was crit
icized for saying nothing about the de-
cision of Frank Pierce, assistant secre-
tary of the department OF the interior
which, 1t is said by the Pinchot parti'
sans, would have permitted the consoli'
dalton of large coal areas in Alaska
This decision was overruled by the at

Suspicion Of Having Committed One
Of the Most Brutal Crimes in
History of West.

Phoebe, Nevada.-The grand jury
has been investigating the mysterious
death of Charles Todd, Phoebe min
ing man, whose body was found in a
well near the home of julius Weir,
Sr., at Bristol, twenty miles from
here, on June last.
Julius Weir, Sr., his wife, Mrs. Kate
Weir, and son, julius Weir, Jr., were
placed under arrest upon the suspi-
cion that they had murdered Todd
and then deposited the body in the
well to cover up the crime. At the
preliminary hearing Julius Weir, ST.,
ard his wife were discharged, but the
son was held to the grand jury, evil
dence having been introduced to show
that the latter and Todd had had trou-
BILE. 1t was also proved at the pre-
liminary that Todd had $3.50 when
last seen alive, but when taken from
the well only a few dollars in change
were found on his clothing.
Todd's body was exhumed on Fri
day, and it was found that the skull
was fractured on the left side, indi-
eating that he HAD been struck with
some blunt instrument. The Weirs
have told several conflicting stories
ana the officers believe they are in
possession of evidence sufficient to
fasten the crime upon them. The
Weirs lived at an out-of-the-way place
off from the main Travelled roads.

before. Everybody has awakened to
the fact that flowers and shrubbery
make for beauty and refinement, add

planted.

convalescent from its midwinter state
of mud, and will soon be in ship
shape condition all over.
When the tracks are raised in
front of the Edgewater ferry house,
what is to become of the roadway
in heavy rain storms?
Another important thing to be
commended in the park management
is that there are no gambling devices
of any kind allowed. No games OF
chance.
There are no saloons in this vicin
ity where people may get drink before
going into the park, and no place
where they can hang out after they
leave it.
No other park has this advantage in
checking disorderly conduct.
And all OF this is worth thinking
about.
