.FAME'S .LAURELS TO
EDGAR ALLAN POE
LONG FIGHT TO HONOR THE
POETS NAME SEEMS WoN-DE-
CISlON THIS AFTERNOON.

New York, oct. 2O.-At last the
long fight to have the name OF
Edgar Allen JPoe poet and author
placed in the Hall Of Fame seems
assured or success. The last Of the
ballots from the ninety six electors
have been received al the New York
University. and Prof. John r. Nc
Cracken, acting head Of the uniyer-
sity. said to ay that Poe's election
was practically a certainty.
no man can say positively until
the ballots have been officially can
yasscd Friday afternoon Just what
the result OF the election will be,
but there Is no doubt in my mind
tina THE author OF The Raven will
have his memory preserved by n
niche in the hall" he said. Il base
my statement on the apparent sue
cess of the campaign in Poe's be
half IN the last five years
Il believe enough now members
have been elected to vote Poe a
place, even had none OF the athers
changed their opinions in regard to
the matter"
Professor McCracken said that he
always had stood in favor OF en-
rolling the poets name In the hall.
At the 1900 election Poe received
thirty-eight votes. Five years later
his name drew forty votes. The sup
porters OF the campaign in his be
half feel assured, that this years
balloting will give the necessary
fifty-one votes. One of the strong
est rivals of Poe in the ballotinG
has been Roger Williams. according
to the announcement made from the
today.
ThonNs Nelson Page and other
writer's have been using their pens
to have the hall electors decide In
favor of Poe, and n number OF so
clal and industrial organizations
have been conducting active cam
paigns In support of the cause.

INSURGENCY ALIVE IN OKLAHOMA
CRUCE POPULAR WITH REPUBLICANS

Guymon, Okla, Oct, 20.-Northwest-
ern Oklahoma Is aflame with insur.
gency and political prophets are every
day growing more and more conf
dent in their forecasts that this por-
tion of the state will give hand
some majority for Cruce for governor
and that Elmer +. Fulton will be elect
ell to congress by an increased ma
jority over that of 1907
The tariff and Congressman Nor
gan's lineup with Cannon and Aldrich
are the things that are working the
Woodward mans political undoing.
For example, Morgan has stated re-
peatedly that he voted for free lum-
ber, but the people of this section do
not look at Ii that way. Morgan vot-
ed for the Payne-Aldrich bill as It
finally passed, and all the world knows
that that measure did nothing to low
er the duties on lumber. In fact Il
rather increased the schedule and con-
sequently the price. In this portion
OF Oklahoma lumber is a vital neces.
sity. There are no timber reserves
and the log cabin Is thing unknown.
Lumber must be hauled many weary
miles from the railroad and the add
ing of an increase in the price under
already hard conditions has not made
the people OF this section feel kindly
toward Mr.. Morgan, whom they justly
blame as being partly responsible.
While this part of the state is de-
veloping with marvellous rapidity,
there are still many dugouts, half
dugouts." sod houses and no end of
small shacks of from one to three
rooms each. Your correspondent Wis
tied real estate offices in which the
descriptions of improvements on large
numbers of the claims and farms Of
fered for sale consisted almost en-
tirely of this class. There is a pic
ture of a young farmer in old mo
Mans Land" holding down his claim
in a half dugout." He would like
to send back to an older state and
bring his bride here and establish a
home and family in Oklahoma. But
both he and the girl are proud and
he doesn't desire to take her from

these half dugouts." In other places,
hundreds of them in fact. whole faml-
lies are already living under these un-
comfortable roofs. Tney would like
to have better homes, but the price of
lumber mounts ever higher, just as I
the Interests" happen to feel about

THERE ARE TWO WAYS.

There are two ways OF opening a
country TO settlement. Oklahoma to-
day presents an object lesson in both
ways. One way was fought, but by
a democrat who won, the other way
has been the product of the minds of
republicans.
No towns appreciate the two ways
of opening up lands more than Dun
can and Waurika. On the one side Is
Kiowa- -Comanche country that was
opened up under the leadership of
John II. stephens, democratic CON
gresham from Texas. The lands
were sold in 100 acre blocks. No man
could buy more than that and each
man who wanted the land made his
bid and the highest bid was accepted.
They were given time to make their
payments and Immediately houses
sprang up on every quarter section.
Farms were plowed, stock were raised
and the people built prosperous homes.
Titles to land were perfect and every
purchaser felt safe. The towns were
built up, school houses were placed
at convenient distances and in a fort
night after the sale everything was
busy on the farms in that country.
Take the other side of the line.
The lands are Just as good, the far
mers want them just as much, but
there has been miles and miles OF
red tape, the lands have been con
trolled from Washington where it does
seem the secretary has no ideas of the
conditions rs they exist. Farm houses
are poor and far between, and the
towns have progressed slowly.
The lesson is simply this, /: the gov
ernment would allow John H. Steph
ems and the democratic congressman
from Oklahoma to map cut plan
for the settlement OF this country
titles would be clear, people could buy
WIN AbllAAANhNNf way y Vi bNhN ~ loiA
would pass and the country would bios
som like the rose.
But the government will not do It.
1t imagines that the Indian must
be cared for and in trying to care Tor
him they have cheapened his lands
and It has fallen into the hands of
the man who does not plow, but who
holds It for profit The man who
Is willing to plow must pay a higher
price than the Indian gets, the far
mer does not pay more than the lands
are worth but he pays more than he
ought TO pay.
The agitation will be kept up until
the lands of Oklahoma have good
titles and until there Is farm house
on every quarter section.

Tariff on Broom Corn.

This portion of Oklahoma comprises
the greatest broom corn producing
area in the world and here, too, the
farmers OF the northwest have anoth
er bone TO pick with Morgan. Morgan
had clause inserted in the tariff bill
under which a tariff was placed on
broom corn. The object was plain
to all beholders It was Morgan's in
tention to fool the farmers by telling
them the tariff was responsible for
the high prices OF this article, just as
1t had produced high prices on shoes,
harness, woolens and many other arti'
cles of every day use.
But Morgan was not the far-seeing
politician he believed himself TO be.
In 1900 broom corn sold at Guymon
for from $3.50 to s170 a ton. Morgan
evidently reasoned that prices would
remain about the same or perhaps go
even higher In view of the conditions
prevailing last year. This season,
however, broom corn is selling for
from $40 to s75 and Morgan's argu-
ment as to how the tariff increases
farm products IS crushed to the
ground. His proposed object lesson
on the tariff has fallen flat. And in
to this the farmers rightly
feel that their intelligence has been
insulted, for they know as does almost
everyone else, that no broom corn Is
imported and that hence there is no
foreigner for them TO compete against.
Dick Morgan must think We are all
a set of id fools. is the way one
incensed insurgent farmer summed
up the trick.

STOCK RAISING THE GREATEST
INDUSTRY, PRESIDENT WATERS
SAYS.
MEAT WILL NEVER Be CHEAPER
With Hog Cholera Eliminated, the
Proper Care and Housing Of Stock,
the Agricultural College Head Pre-
diets Successor for Scientific Methods

Pratt, Kan, Oct 20.-Meat will ney.
er be cheaper in this country. One
third the cost of living is paid out
for meat, and the hog is the principal
mea. animal in supplying the demand.
Nearly one-half the net edible meat
used by Americans is pork, As 1-2 per
cent, to be exact. The remainder of
it Is beef, sheep and poultry. These
interesting facts We're told in train
lecture at Hutchinson this afternoon
by Henry J. Waters, president of the
Kansas Agricultural College.
South America" President Waters
said, now exports more meat than
the United States. Although, indi-
vidually, Americans are eating less
meat, the population is increasing, and
so the demand grows. We consume
practically all We produce, and re-
Gently have been importing from
China. For years we have been get
ting poultry and eggs from that coun'
try. But while our per capita meat
consumption has declined, We are eat
ing more breakfast foods and fruits,
we still are the greatest meat eating
nation in the world. Our laboring
men eat more meat than the laborins
men of any other country-nearly
twice as much as in ureat Britain
and four times as much as the labor
ing men of Italy.
More than 10 billion dollars is in
vested in the meat producing indus
tries in this country, President Wa
ters said. This is five-sixths of the
amount invested in manufacturing. 1t
represents an amount as great as the
capitalization and net earnings of all
he steam railroads in the country.
1t is more than enough to buy all the
farms and the farm equipment in New
EnglaTd.
Zen billion dollars; figures" he
did, that lead to the point that the
future of the meat producing indus
Try in this country is safe. He that
sticks to it will make more money
than any other farmer, except per
haps, the farmer engaged in dairyins
and a few other specialties. 1t won't
be long until we eat every pound we
produce"
President Waters told the farmers
that hog producing no longer contain
ed the risks it formerly contained to
discourage men. Cholera need no more
be feared. Science, he said, has con-
quered it, What is needed is proper
feeding-alfalfa and corn-proper
housing and proper care.
President Waters's talk was replete
with exact directions as to what to
do, how to do it, and when and why

of long distances there is a surpris-
ingly large amountof automobiles. The
business men and ranchmen have
grown tired of slow transportation and
the auto has solved the problem of
distance in a section that has less
than sixty miles of railroad. Nor
cans vote for the interests" his line
up with Cannon and Aldrich, have
caused a substantial Increase in the
prices OF automobile tires. Hundreds
of these people are from Kansas and
when they read Senator Bristow's ex-
pose of the Aldrich rubber steal and
its connection with the tariff bill,
they accepted It as gospel fact. Many
of them know Joe Bristow' personal
ly and they are believers in him and
his insurgent doctrine. These men.
like all other true westerners, abhor
the idea of being forced to hand over
a rake off, particularly when they
know they are in a game where the
cards are stacked against them. They
want no more "standpatism" in theirs,
and will give their vote for Fulton.
The Insurgents Argument.
The feeling has become deepseated
that the next congress will surely be
democratic, and these people want a
man in Washington who will have
some influence with the majority par
ty and thus be able to do things for
them.
Dick Morgan comes back explain
ing that he voted as he did on the
tariff bill because he was such a gool
party man." they assert. "If he was
willing TO sell us out to Cannon, AID
rich and the interests for that reason
then, what will he do when he finds
himself in the minority in congress?
