Fort Leavenworth. Kan. Even
behind the bars Of the federal
prison at Fort Leayenworth the pow
erful influences that kept John R.
Walsh out Of a cell for two years after
he was proved q felon have prevailed.
John r. Walsh. convict No. 6,S61, Is
enjoying practically every luxury that
was enjoyed by Walsh, the possessor
of $4O,000.000 and an income that
could satisfy the wishes Of any hui
man being.
From the moment that Walsh
passed the threshold of the great ma
ional penitentiary those influences
were evident. Walsh was not com.
PEELED to pose for "rogue's gallery"
picture. His measurements were not
taken for the Bertillion system. He
has not been forced to eat Of the
coarse fare nor of the common wood
en- tables Of the 800 other convicts.
But Of greatest importance, Walsh
has not and probably will not be- COM
PEELED to sleep in one Of the iron
grated cells during all of his Ave
years stay at the prison.
Even in the matter of labor, Walsh
has been peculiarly favored. While
other federal offenders. including near.
ly score Of former millionaires and
bankers, are handling brick and saw
ing stone, Walsh will be reading the
newspapers. His daily task will be
to handle newspapers and clip "crim-
inal news" to be pasted into book
provided for the purpose.

$4,000 AMERICAN
SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA
the YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN
INCREASE OF OVER EIGHTY
PER CENT IN AMERICAN
SETTLEMENT.

Recent advices from Canada. our
next door neighbour, the neighbourly
country across the boundary line,
are that upwards Of ninety thousand
settlers from the United States went
into Western Canada during the past
year, most Of them for the purpose OF
taking UP and settling upon the va.
cant lands. 160 acres of which are
given free by the government, and
lands adjoining held by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even II thirty and forty dollars
Per acre were paid, the price would be
low, as the lands produce wonderfully,
and at these higher figures there is q
large interest on the money and labor
invested. The ninety thousand set.
tiers OF last year. followed about sixty
thousand Of the previous year. and for
several years the number has been
running into these large figures. There
must be reason for it. It may be

Investigation in this case is always

Iowa, of Indiana, OF Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan. Ohio
and other States has risen to high
value. and 1t is worth every dollar
asked for it. But there is not room
now for all on these lands. With the
ever increasing demand for grain,
there comes the ever increasing de-
mand for land. Canada is the only
country on the continent in position
to supply 1t. Land there that costs.

Of wheat to the acre, or about $4,000.
The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost to produce $3.50 per
acre, leaving balance of $3.50 per
acre. The $3.50 carries good wages
for the farmer, and all other conceiv-

like this, covering the entire area Of

HE'S GOING DO SOMETHING"
70 Not Looking for Second Term
6aitinger-Pinchot Investigation Is
Matter for Which He VIII BE Re.
sponsible to Country.

Washington.-Pres Taft has Is.
sued an ultimatum that began with the
statement that second term is an in.
difference to him, and that he is not
looking for it, but that while he is
president he is going to do some
thing" The president has set his
back against the wall, babe defiance
to foe and too solicitous friends and
the country at large.
That something, the president made
clear to regular" and 'insurgent'
Republicans. is to carry out the
pledges of the Republican party. and
his test of Republicanism will lie a
vote for those measures that he re-
CARDS as pledged by the party in the
party platform in the last campaign:
The Limitation of the use Of the In.
junction power by the federal courts.
The enactment of amendments to
the railway rate law and those to the
laws which regulate interstate COM
merce.
The establishment of a system of
postal savings banks.
Separate statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico.
The president mentioned two i'm
portant bits of legislation as debatable
and consequently no test of Repub.
licanism. He submitted that these
two matters were questions on which
there could be reasonable differences
of opinion. These he mentioned as:
Conservation of natural resources and
federal incorporation act.
Representatives Hayes of California,
Murdoch of Kansas and Gardener OF
Massachusetts, got this information in
conference Tuesday with the presi-
dent. He also informed them that the
investigation of the Ballinger-P inchot
controversy is matter for which he
will be responsible to the country. He
declared that he will regard Repub-
licans who vote with the Democrats
to retain Representatives Rainey and
James as the minority members of the
investigating committee as in direct
OPPOSITION to him and to his admin
istration. ..r-.
