There Is no Office that nccessitates /,
greater amount of discretion and dIpio-
attache to an embassy The chief
mission of the officers appointed to
those posts is TO obtain information
with regard to the defenses of the
and to keep track of the new depar-
lures in the organization, the equip

and navy. More especially are they
required to keep their governments in
formed of the new inventions In the
aviation. etc, that Is to say. the verv
things which the powers concerned are
anxious TO keep to themselves and to
enveiop with mantle of secrecy. The
penetration of this secrecy Is ALWAYS
delicate matter There are almost
always traitors who are willing to sell
TO the military or naval attache the
INFORMATION which he is cndeavoring
TO obtalny and if the traitor gets caught
at the game, and is shown to have
communicated secrets to tho attache
the position of the latter becomes in
tolerablo. for he is held to have been
guilty of an abuse OF the hospitality
which he is enjoying on the part of the
government and nation of the country
IN which he is stationed. In fact. he
Is regarded very much as man who

Carson City, New, Aug. 18.-Gov
Dickerson of Nevada was Tuesday
night one of the principals in rough
and tumble fight, which took place in
the editorial rooms of the Carson City
News. The governor, incensed at a
story about the selection of a new
prison site, visited the Offices of the
News, which is edited by George A.
Montrose, and demanded to know If
Montrose had written the article. The
governor is reported to have grazed
the editors cheek. Montrose, accord
ing to the spectators, then grappled
with the governor and, catching him
by the throat, forced him backward,
at the same time delivering a number
of stiff body blows. Friends then

test by farmers. This season, how
ever, the usual contest was announced
with something akin to trepidation on
the part of the commissioner, owing
to the generally admitted fact that
this is an off year, making it appear
probable that samples really worthy
of our great agricultural reputation
might not be procurable.
Never before in the history of these
competitions have so many, varied
and excellent samples of the different
agricultural products of the state been
offered, and the work laid out for the
judges who made the awards Thurs
day afternoon was indeed task call
ing for rare discrimination and pains
taking application.
1t is not necessary here to go into
a detailed account of each exhibit,
which, in view of the number of en-
tries, would be wearisome infiiction
on the reader. Suffice it to say that
out of the 130 entries from all parts
of the 10000 square miles Of the

MISSING WALTER
rogers FOUND

Minot, N. D., Aug. 1S.-Public Ad
ministrator Clark Hovey has secured
possession of Walter Rogers, and the
lad is now on his way to Fargo, where
he will be placed in the children's
home.
Walter disappeared several days ago
and the police have been making ev.
cry effort to locate the lad. 1t was
thought that friends or Rogers had
spirited the boy away, and that it
was their intention to keep the public
administrator from carrying out the
courts order by placing Walter in the
childrens home where the two sisters
were taken last week.
Ed Kelly and Dan Dougherty To-
Gated the boy at the home of Pauline
Norris, about eight miles from Fox
holm, and he was brought to Minot

Who was it said something about a
crop failure in North Dakota? Any
one who did should take trip to the
state capitol building at Bismarck and
look over the assortment of grains
and grasses of all kinds and descrip-
tions which have been received by
Commissioner w. C. Gilbreath of the
department of agriculture and labor in
response to the announcement a few
weeks ago that prizes would be award
ed for the best collection of these
North Dakota products. Such a visit
will surely cause a sudden change of
opinion as to the crop failure in ques-
ton, and compel the belief that the
only requisites called for in this state
to secure abundant return for labor
expended in any year, no matter how
unfavorable weather conditions may
have been, are good and honest culti-
vation.
1t has been the custom of the de-
partment of agriculture for some years
past to offer substantial prizes about
this season of the year for the best
of the seasons growth, with
the object in view of securing repre-
sentative exhibits to be displayed at
various state fairs in Wisconsin, In

Hopedale, Mass, Aug. 1S-President
Taft is spending the night as the guest
of Gov. Draper of Massachusetts at
his home in this place. The pair
motored down from Beverly this af-
ternoon, making the sixty miles or
more in a little over two hours. Mr.
Taft was accompanied from Beverly
by Sec. Norton and Capt. Butt. To-
morrow the president will visit Men,
den, where his ancestors lived and re-
turn by automobile to the summer
capital in the afternoon, Mr.. Taft's
visit here is purely social and made
as return courtesy to the governor.
Reports from Oyster Bay today, pur-
porting to Indicate that Col. Theodore
Roosevelt believed his defeat at the
hands of New York state Republican
committee, was the result of an agree
ment between President Taft and som
of the "old guard" leaders in the
state, were received in Beverly today
with little short of CONSERVATION. AS
the reports were not credited to any
responsible person, no attention was
officially paid to them. So far as the
statement that there was an agreement
to defeat Colonel Roosevelt to which
Mr.. Taft was a party is concerned
there is said to be no truth in it.
Pres. Taft from the first has endeav-
ored to obtain harmony in New York
state. He urged all the leaders to
try and get together, has been anxious
that Calonel Roosevelt's wishes should
be consulted and even went SO far on
one accession as to exclaim to a very
prominent New York politician For
Gods sake avoid a fight" 1t was also

actment of that legislation. l have
cooperated with the republican major.
ity in congress in the effort to put on
the statute books the policies Of the
party, and have no apology to make
for the part l have taken in the legis-
lative counsels of the nation.
In the present campaign, so far
as l am concerned, I shall do what
can to bring about the election of
a republican house of representatives,
in the sixty-first congress, and without
a republican majority in the next
house there will be no republican
speaker. In the event of my reelection
as member of the house, I shall at
tend and abide by the action of
the republican caucus, and from
his statement Mr.. Longworth will do
the same, as will every republican
member of the house. Therefore, I
have no quarrel with Representative
Longworth as to who shall be speaker
Of the next house of representatives,
and there is no room for disagreement
touching this matter between Repre-
sentativ Longworth and myself.
If any republican candidate for
congress feels that his position as
candidate on the republican ticket
would be strengthened by pledging
that he will not support me in q
republican caucus, have no objection
to his making the pledge. The only
thought I would make as to the re.
publicanism of candidates for con.
gress is, will he, If elected, attend the
republican caucus and abide by the
same in the organization Of the house
and in the enactfent Of legislation in

dore Roosevelt spent the day in what
was probably the most important po-
litical conference he has held since he
left the white house. He gathered
about him a group of his close friends
and talked over the situation which
is best expressed in the reports that

himself are strained to the breaking
point. VIM. Loeb Jr., collector of the

conference. from what was said by
some of the visitors it was learned
that the ex-president and his friends
have agreed upon plan of action
which will hold until the situation
shapes itself more clearly. Briefly
stated it is this: Col. Roosevelt is
to stand aside in the New York state
campaign and let the "old guard fight
it's own fight, and thus shoulder all
the responsibility for the conduct and
result of the campaign. He is neither
to endorse nor criticize the Taft ad-
ninistration. He is to keep out all
around if he can. Through some of
todays visitors it was learned why
the colonel has decided to keep his
hands off, He feels that the republi.
can state committee in refusing to
endorse him for temporary chairman

Danville, ILL.,, 9ug. 1S.-Despite the
declaration of Congressman Long.
worth that he will not again vote for
Joseph G.. Cannon for speaker of the
house of representatives, Mr.. Cannon
will continue in the race, according
to his own statement made to the
Associated Press this evening. He
will 20 into the caucus as a candi-
date, no matter how many republican
= congressmen declare they will oppose
his reelection.
All he asks Is that those who go
into the caucus abide by it's vote, and
he promises to do the same. He
does not ask any to pledge himself
to vote for his reelection, if he be-
lieves that pledge will work against
him in the election this fall, nor does
he want any candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for congress to re-
pudiate his party by failure to enter
the caucus.
That Mr.. Cannon was considerably
nettled by the dispatch from Beverly
was apparent this afternoon when
copy of it was handed him. Mr.. Can
non is usually ready to grant or re-
fuse an interview without moments
hesitation, but today he read and re-
read the Longworth statement. and
then dictated and redictated half
dozen statements before he got one
which finally suited him.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Cannon
believes the Longworth statement was
inspired by President Taft. He did not
say so in so many words, but he in
timated as much when he said that
ut is time enough to answer the presi.
dent of the United States If he has
any statement to make touching on
