In some places It was reported that

Volunteers were called for By the

When H. s. Maddox. local agent Of
the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad

O'Clock last night he met James Turn
bull who asked II the company was in
a position to asst him In getting oil
up from Florence to be used as fuel

piled that he would do everything that
he could to prevent disaster to the
fruit growing industry here and prom

Turnbulls wishes. A crew was called
and in exactly sixteen minutes the
train was on its way to Florence to
get the oil needed by the ranchers

THE NATIONAL APPLE
EXPOSITION FOR COLORADO

From Saturdays Daily.
At the time of the two big apple
shows last November an article in
the Agricultural College News Notes"
called attention to the desirability of
similar exposition for Colorado. We
are pleased to announce that since
that time plans have been formulated
SO that an apple show is to be held
in Denver next December.
Mr.. Clinton Oliver. the hustling
Secretary of the Colorado State Horti-
cultural society, has interested him
self in the matter and has worked
indefatigably to get the preliminary
arrangements for the show under
way. Mr.. Oliver states that the Den
yer Chamber of Commerce has given
the plan its unqualified endorsement
and that the chamber. will furnish
the auditorium and premium list for
the show. The premium list will not
be less that s25.o00 in value, probab-
ly more. Prominent real estate men
have practically agreed to offer land
to the value of at least $4,000. In
small tracts, as premiums.
Mr. Oliver has been made secretary
of the show and will devote his entire
time to the work from now until the
close Of1ces have been opened in
the new chamber of commerce rooms,
at Denver. where all correspondence
should be directed.
The shows which were held last
year were successful in every respect.
and. what is unusual in the West.
the educational features were most
prominent, 1t is the purpose of the
managers of the Colorado exhibition.
also to promote the educational feat
ures and let the advertising of Colo
RADIO lands tage care of itself. This
of course, will naturally follow.
All fruit growers should be inter-
ested in the success of this exhfbi-
ton, as anything educational is worth
while. Competition is becoming
stronger each year. consequently the
best fruit displayed in the most at
tractive manner. must be our aim.
Competitive exhibitions are the very
best means of education along such
lines.
1t is to be hoped that all Colorado
fruitgrowers, in particular, will take
an active interest and begin plan
ming now for their exhibits.

tariff law. Still claiming to be re-
publican, Senator La Toilette makes a
cautious reply.
"No individual has the power to read
a representative out of the party. I"
says the editorial. ''That power rests
solely with the voters who selected him
as their party representative. 1t is
for them and them alone, to determine
whether or not he has been faithful or
Indifferent to the trust reposed in him,
to the promises which won their favor.
Nor can even the president of the
United States decide for the American
people whether or not the tariff law is
genuine or counterfeit"
Turning to Vice President Sherman
the senator's magazine demands of
him to give the facts upon which he
bases his words that the pledges of the
party have been fulfilled" The edi-
torial closes:
"Get US the facts by all means.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER z, 1909
LA FOLLETTE's IRE AROUSED.

An editorial in Senator La Follette's g
Weekly indicates that President Taft's
speech at Winona last week in which
he characterized the tariff law as a
most successful effort by the republi-
cans has stirred the insurgents to
bitter wrath.
In the first fiery omen of Senator
La Toilette that he has opened a ma
tional war on the tariff law through his
magazine and from the platform, in
which he will demand a substantial
lowering of the tariff schedules before
the law is to remain on the statute
books. Not content to take issue with
the presidents statements and tariff
figures, Senator La Follette's paper
drags Vice President James Sherman
into the limclight and says that Sher-
mans tariff words are a feeble effort
to ''hand the middle west a piece of
buncombe."
The answer by Senator La Toilette
has set the tongues of Wisconsin peo-
pie wagging and it is declared that this
is the first pronounced stand that the
senator has taken against the presi-
dent. The issue is clearly drawn in
the editorial and there is sting of re-
buke in it that places Aldrich, Payne
and Cannon in category as misdirect-
ing the president and thwarting the
will of the people. Congressman
Tawney of Minnesota is given a shot of
grape and canister and then the edi-
torial turns to a discussion of the
figures upon which the president based
his arguments.
''ln the course of his speech the
president presented an analysis of the
tariff changes that have been effected
by the new law" says the editorial.
''This is the same analysis that was
printed in the Congressional Record by
Chairman Payne, when he laid his con-
ference report on the bill before the
house. This analysis purports to
measure the Importance of tariff
changes by the consumption value of
the commodities affected. This was
doae to make an answer to the COM
pilations Of the bureau Of statistics of
the department Of commerce and labor,
showing the tariff increase measured
by the value of imports.
''To attempt to determine the value
of the consumption in this country of
the thousands of articles embraced in
the tariff schedules as there classified,
lis to enter into the realm of pure spec
'...ation. The information does not
exist. No statistician, who is more
than mere juggler of figures would
regard such calculation as worthy
the slightest consideration.
Nobody, then or since, has come
forward to claim credit for the analysis
which Mr.. Payne caused to be printed
in the Record. 1t was presented an
onymously. The data upon which it
was based has never been disclosed.
Before any such so-called analysis we
place the work of the great statistical
bureau of the government, based upon
official records.
After more thorough discussion of
Taft's tariff figures Senator La Fol-
lette's editorial takes up the portion of
the Winona speech where the national
executive attempted to read out of the
republican party those senators and
congressman who voted against the

PULSE OF THE STATE PRESS

LaMoure Chronicle: According to
our good friend Editor Bloom of the
Devils Lake Journal, The Chronicle
and the Valley City Times-Record are
the only insurgent newspapers left in
North Dakota, all the rest of the
brilliant galaxy having been "fixed"
with insurance statements and one
thing or another. Bloom is mistaken,
by large majority. The Fargo
Searchlight and Lidgerwood Broadaxe
are ''hollering their head off" every
week; and then there are the Oakes

tenay Gazette, the Langdon Republi-
can, the Larkin Reporter, the Omemee
Herald, the Willow City Eagle, the
Bottineau News, the Starkweather
Times, the Grafton Record, the Grand
Forks Herald-but space would fail us
to name the cloud of witnesses for pro-
gressive republicanism and good gov
ernment which will again be on the
firing line when the campaign re-opens
