COL. ROOSEVELT
ENDORSES TAFT
Former President Has Put Seal of
Approval Upon the Admin.
istration
TO REMAIN IN PRIVATE LIFE
In Letters to Prominent Men IL is Said
the Colonel Favors Loeb for Gov
ernor of New York-Sticks
to Party.

Washington May I'm letters which
Theodore Roosevelt Is alleged TO have
written to President Taft Senator
Root. William Loeb, Jr, it is said by
the Washington Post. the former pres
ident thoroughly endorses the Taft
administration, favors Loeb TO succeed
Governor Hughes of New York and in
dicates his decision to remain in pri-
vate life is final and unalterable.
The Colonel will not even be a can
didate to succeed Depew in the senate
and much less would he desire any
other office II is said also the for
mer president will i'm no sense be
candidate for the presidency in 1912.
on the contrary his letters are said To
Indicate that it is his conviction the re-
election of Taft is the republican par
tvs duty.
While Roosevelt believes a fight
within the party, when ii is confined
to the opinions Of legislation, may be
healthful he does not favor a degree of
insurgency that threatens to disrupt
the party at the polls and will prob
ably deliver some speeches in the con-
gressional campaign in the west, urg-
ing the return of republicans to con-
gress.
When Roosevelt speaks before the
national conservation congress in St.
Paul in September it is said he will de-
clare himself again for the politics for
which he has always stood, but will in
sst the work be pressed forward with
out making conservation a pivot for
political expedients. In a word Roose-
welt. before seeing clifford Pinchot in
Europe, and after, has expressed him
self as convinced that Taft has been
working hard and conscientiously TO
carry out the policies which were start
ed during the Roosevelt administra-
ton and has given the Taft admins
tration his whole approval

SETTLERS ABLE
TO MEET TEST
Few Farmers on Reclaimed Land
Unable to Pay Water Rights
Charges
GOVERNMENT Will NOT LOSE
Success of the Various Reclamation
Projects Depends on Ability of
Farmers to Meet Payments
Which Are Now Due

| Washington, May 1.-The acid tes
of the practicability of all the gov
eminent reclamation work is at hand
on April 1st there was due and pay
able into the reclamation fund from
the settlers on the various projects
approximately $1,000,000 for water
| rights. If the farmers are able ia
meet their payments. it evidences
| that the government is able to secure
a return on it's investment. II the pay
ments are not made, the law is fail
urc I'm one of it's most important pro-
visions and the operations OF the re-
clamation service would quickly be
brought to an end.
But n careful canvass of the pro-
jects on which water rights charges
are due indicates that the settlers as a
rule are able and willing to meet them.
on the big North Platte project in
Wyoming and Nebraska. there were
1886 farms with charges due on April
1st II is reported that 227 Of them
paid up as early as last December and
of the remaining los the engineers In
the field estimate that not more than
ten will be likely TO be cancelled Most
of those could reinqulsh at this time
at profit.
Even on the Trucker Carson pro-
ject in Nevada. where conditions have
been as unfavorable as any could be,
the reports show few delinquencies.
on the Okanagan and Sunnyside pro-
jects i'm Washington, the Shoshone in
Wyoming and the Huntley and Sun
River I'm Montana. it is predicted that
every farmer will meet his obligations.
There have been failures as IL was
inevitable there should be. but the
absolute failures and the abandonments
have been surprisingly few. In nu-
|merous instances those who underes-
timated the task or came without ex-
perience or sufficient funds were able
to retire without serious loss. In nu-
merous other instances many retired
with some gain. but the greatest num-
Der of failures was found among those
who took up the projects never in
'Nhhi'S w use tiNNil liitIiStlNtSs Dut
to speculate for profits on bona flde
homo makers who came later.
Where the reclamation service finds
that a failure has been due to condi-
tons not under control Of the settler,
it Is possible that some way be found
to protect his rights. but where the
evidence Is that the settler has made
no effort to protect himself. he need
expect no aid from the government.
The farmers who came to farm, how
ever, are making good.
The crops produced on the irrigated
lands operated by the water systems
of the government i'm 1909 had an es-
timated value of $14,000,000 and the
land values increased not less than
$l05,000,000 as the result of the con-
struction of the federal irrigation
works. The reclamation fund has had
more than s6OOO0,OO0 under the act
and more than s450O.O0O are still in
the treasury of the United States but
rot available.
The great question has been: VIII
the money come back? Indications
are that it will.
