TEDDY AND TAFT DIFFER.
SAYS GOVERNMENT SHOULD AID
IN RECLAiMlNG sWAMPs.
clue and Gray Hear ColoneI's Speech
When Doves Are Released and
Flowers Strewn on All Alike.

Hot Springs, Ark.-Theodore Roose-
welt placed himself on record here
Monday as opposed to the view ex-
pressed by President Taft OF
phase of the work of conserving and
developing the natural of
the country. Col. Roosevelt declared
that the federal government should
do all it legitimately could to assist
in the reclamation of the great swamp
areas of the Mississippi river.
In a speech at the national conserva-
ton congress in is. Paul September
6, President Taft said he believed the
work should be done by the states
themselves, and that he deprecated
the idea that the national government
should do it.
AS soon as Col. Roosevelt reached
Hot Springs, Gov. Donaghey and sew
eral other men who are interested in
obtaining help from the national gov
in the reclamation project
asked him to touch upon the subject
in. his address at the Arkansas State
Fair. Col. Roosevelt promised them
to do SO.
In his speech the colonel said:
"There are things about the open
country that should be done by the
government; that is, by the represen-
tatives of all of us, working together.
The national government must do
it's. part in helping In the drainage, be-
cause the drainage is an interstate
affair. Arkansas, Missouri, Tennes-
see, Louisiana and Mississippi are all
concerned, and ought all to work to-
gether, and the national government
should render all possible legitimate
aid"
1t is estimated that there are 25,000,-
900 acres of swamp lands in the states
mentioned by Col. Roosevelt and Gov.
Donaghey said that the question of
their reclamation was a vital one
After being welcomed 20 Hot

tion committee was composed Of 900

kind. The reason for this is that the
Brahmas are much longer maturing,
while the Game and all the small or
medium-sized breeds are sooner de-
veloped. They feather up quickly and
acquire the much desired plumpness
sooner and more easily than do any
Of the larger breeds. This is espe-
cially SO with the pullets, though the
same rule applies with cockerels,
which latter require maturity (not
necessarily age) to make them really
fine eating.

New York;. /. c. Clarke, through
whom the Standard Oil Company
makes its official announcements to
the public, has Issued a statement to
the effect that the company has en-
cred on a thoroughly mapped out
campaign to increase the consumption

move in this campaign is the reduc-
ton of the prices Of oil in those coun-

in part
"The Standard Oil Company has in
.augurated a campaign to increase the
worlds consumption of refined oil.
The level of prices for refined oil to-
day in the United States is lower than
at any time during recent years, and
as a direct result of these prices the
consumption of refined oil in this
country is increasing. The same pol
icy is now being actively pursued
abroad"
As. indicated by this statement, the
the policy of lower prices in the
United States, though without an
nouncing that it had in view a cam

LOCAL OPTION
BRYAN SAYS COUNTY is THE
REAL UNIT.
mining the System of Regulat-
ing Liquor Traffic.

Lincoln, Neb.-W. j. Bryan has come
out tiatfooted for county option in Ne
braska. He takes a step in advance of
this and declares Democracy must di-
vorce itself from the liquor interests.
The saloon, he says, is used to debauch
politics and to prevent the intelligent
consideration of public questions.
The liquor interests, he declares, made
themselves odious at the last session of
the Nebraska legislature by preventing
the submission of the initiative and refer
endum. Mr.. Bryan declares the right of
the government to regulate the sale of
liquor cannot be denied, and the right to
make the county the unit of regulation
is just as plain.
The statement in part is as follows:
The. people, acting through the in
strumentality of government, have for
their own protection the right to deter
mine the conditions under which liquor
shall be sold in any community, county
or state, and it follows that the people
of the nation have a right to act upon
the question whenever in their wisdom
they think it proper to do SO, for what
ever constitutional objections may be
urged to any proposed legislation, it
must be remembered that constitutions
are in he hands of the people and can be
altered whenever the people see. fit to
alter them.
The Democratic party cannot afford
to act as the mOuthpiece of the liquor
interests. It can have nothing in COM
mon with the selfish, mercenary and
cOnScipncplpSS crusade thai the li0uor
interests have organized against the
home and the state; against private vir-
tue and public morals"
