SPLIT On
THE TARIFF
IBy Associated Press. !

Des Moines, la, Aug. 3.-With the
standpatters and progressives appar-
emily hopelessly at variance in the
essential matter of the tariff plank,
the republican state convention was
called to order in the Coliseum here
today for the purpose of writing
platform. selecting a state central
committee and making nominations
for state superintendent of schools
and for two judges pf the supreme
court.
Discord is expected to be more in
evidence in the coming campaign
than is shown at the convention,
which has a safe progressive major
ity.
The standpat faction have adopted
their planks with the full knowledge
that they could not be forced through
the convention.
The platform which is to be adopt
ed will be unmistakably insurgent in
condemnation of the tariff law and in
encomiums for the states insurgent
congressional delegation.
Yesterday and the greater part of
last night saw the two factions stead
lily growing farther apart.

majorities run from 1000 to $500.

CUTOFF RUM0R

A rumor is fast gaining ground
that the Denver & Rio Grande rail-
way contemplates building a cutoff
from Montrose to the RoubideauX

Tie building OF this cutoff would
lessen the distance several miles be-
tween Montrose and Grand Junction.
1t would also same time and cost of
maintenance upon the broad -gauging
of the line from Salida to Montrose.
There seems to be no difficult obsta-
Cles to overcome, as nature has pro-
yded a natural roadway. The pro-
posed road can leave the switch; pass
'up the RoubideauX l mile; thence
up Buttermilk creek, coming out on

due southeast, passing through a nat
ural cut so feet deep at the upper
end OF High mesa, striking the pres

IN CONCLUSION.

Thus we have set forth as briefly
as possible some of our plans for
1910, but the best part of it all must
be judged from what the reader al
ready knows of the spirit and ideals
OF the paper.
III we know ourselves, our one
high purpose is to be of help in build
ing up splendid rural civilization in
the Southern States: not only to
make bigger crops and more fertile
fields and bigger bank accounts. but
to help develop a pride In farm life
and love for the farm home and for
farming as business, which will in
sure to the South a great rural popu-
lation-a population. intelligent, pro-
gressive, prosperous, patriotic, and
God-fearing. with which. as its foun-
dation OF strength, the South may
win the splendid place in the history
of America and the world to which
her opportunities and the heroism OF
her past entitle her May we all
work to this end!
