secretary's Message of Cheer.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
says that the magnificent figures
of the farmers contribution to
the exports of this country
and to the favorable balance of
trade are maintained in spite of this
countrys immense growth in popula-
tion and the extraordinary immigra-
ton and non-agricultural peoples, and
also in spite of the diminishing frac-
ton of the population that is en-
gagged in agriculture; and that no
analysis could more strongly indicate
the progressive efficiency of the farm
er's labor and capital and of the tell
ing effects Of the agricultural sciences.
Secretary Wilson reviews in detail
the work done by his department to
benefit the farmers and closes his re-
port as follows: THE farmer had
many reasons for his Thanksgiving in
1908, as he did in recent years. He
has reaped as we'll as he sowed. He
has obtained more of the means with
which to improve his farm, to in
crease his capital, to become a more
generous consumer Of the goods of
other producers, and to add to the
things that count for better living
and more pleasant life"

complainant, but. though the efforts
of the local and outside detectives have
been ~unceasing ever since the crime

sure. and the officers are going through
the outskirts of the city and the nearby

there is no chance OF his escape if he is
in this vicinity.
All the towns where the trains might
touch have been notified. and a close

TAFT REFERS TO CANAL
SCANDAL IN SPEECH.
Tells st. Louis CIub-M Members of
His Anxiety.

ST. LOUIS, oct. 25.-In a speech at
the st. Louis Club President Taft today
referred to the trip of his hosts to the
Isthmus of Panama while the President
was secretary of war. He referred to
the fact that in a previous visit to st.
Louis he had suggested this trip of sin7
spection, and he said he had always
felt grateful to the club and to the
other organizations from various cities
that went to the isthmus for the conf
dence which they had ~engendered In the
American people concerning the work.
The country felt positive, said the
President, that the commercial bodies
that inspected the canal work at their
own expense could not nave been fooled
or deceived, or would have a motive
for disappearing the facts. He
declared the report of the commercial
clubs marked the beginning Of a state
of affairs which had left the adminis-
tration In a very comfortable position
with reference to the progress of the
canal work.
AS TO that time the President said
there had been cries of canda and
incompetence, but afterward the work
had been treated as all great govern
ment and engineering works should be
tr~eated-with sobriety, calmness anu
criticism of plans on a basis that can
be understood. He said the report OF
the commercial clubs had driven away
the nightmare that had pursued him
for two years after the burden of the
canal work had fallen upon his Shout
ders.
President Taft declared in an address
at the Coliseum that his stand in favor
of the issue of bonds for carrying out
approved waterway Improvement pro-
jects does not mean the opening of a
pork barrel to send back any particu-
lar member of Congress or to make any
particular section of the country pros
porous during the expenditure of the
money.
Mr.. Taft said he opposed any sucn
general bond issue of five hundred mil
lion Of dollars, or a billion dollars for
waterway improvement, the money to
be cut up and parcelled out to different
sections. His idea of a bond issue Is to
secure sufficient money to carry out
quickly ch>projects as may be ap-
proved after careful investigation and
which can prove their worth to the en-
tire country.
