President Taft has selected some
of the subjects ON which he will speak
on his Western trip that will begin
next month. He told callers that the
tariff, peace and arbitration, currency
reform, reciprocity and conservation,
probably, would form a nucleus for his
speechmaking. He will make adj
dresses on many other subjects, but
the topics named would make sort
of "big FIVE" around which speeches
that he deemed less important might
be made.
On the eve of his forty-day swing
around the circle, on which Republi-
can leaders expect him to define the
issues for the campaign of 1912, Pres
ident Taft announced himself unalter-
ably opposed to the "nostrums" of re-
form, which, he declared "dema-
gogues" and theoretical extremists"
have advanced for the solution of the
problem of concentrated wealth in this
country The president spoke to. the

homeward journey after being togeth-

pace of any legislative session in

that had gone before. The president
vetoed the cotton tariff revision bill,
President Taft signed the joint res
olution for the admission of New Mex
leo and Arizona into the Union. There
was but one resolution, so the presi-
dent used three pens in order that
some Of the relic hunters might be sat

PROHIBITION FIGHT IN MAINE
People Are to Pass on the Question
September II.

Portland, Maine. The voters of
Maine, September ii, will cast their
ballots to determine whether or not
the policy of constitutional prohibit
ton of the liquor traffic which has
prevailed for more than quarter Of
a century shall be retained.
For weeks past the state has been
flooded with literature sent out by
both tne proponents and opponents of
the move to take prohibition out of the
constitution.
Constitutional prohibition, in which
Maine was a pioneer, was first adopt
ed in 1884. For seventeen years the
prohibitory laws remained undisturbed
of serious attack. In 1901 bill for re-
submission of the subject was before
the legislature, but only 81 votes could
be mustered in it's favor. In 1907 a
similar resolve was barely defeated.
In the state campaign last year re-
submission was one of the chief is
sues. the Democrats taking a stand in
favor of giving the voters another
chance to pass upon the question and
the Republicans standing pat on pro-
hibition, which had been the party's
policy for fifty years. The election
of a Democratic governor and a Dem
ocratic legislature settled the question
of resubmisssion.

FAIR COTTON CROP
DECLINE IN COTTON CONDITION
CHECKED BY FAVORABLE
WEATHER.
DAMAGE FROM SHEDDING
Cotton Is Beginning to Move Very
Freely to the Various
Markets.

Memphis, Tenn.-The Commercial
Appeals weekly cotton review says:
"The decline In the condition Of the
cotton plant, which set in several
weeks ago, has been checked in the
two Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama,
or had ceased altogether by reason of
more favorable weather, rain having
fallen in the Carolinas and dry wealth
er supervened in the two latter states,
and, without more rain, will now open
rapidly. A fair crop is assured, and a
large one seems possibility, despite
the deterioration that has been suf-
fered.
I'm Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas
and Louisiana excessive rainfall con-
tinued during the week, and some of
the reports take a very gloomy view
Of the outlook. The chief damage has
resulted from shedding of young forms
by reason Of the rank growth of tae
stalk, and from boil weevils in the
southern part of this valley territory.
1t is evident, however, that bright
weather would vastly reduce present
estimates Of damage.
I'm Oklahoma and Texas a period of
extreme heat, accompanied by burn
ing sun and hot winds, caused quick
setback to cotton, which had but late
ly taken on fresh growth from rain.
The plant was being forced to an ear
ly maturity, but rains toward the close
of the week put an end to the condi-
ton and hold out promise of better re-
turns next week. AS most correspond
ents state, there is yet time to derive
benefit from the rains.
Cotton is moving very freely to
market where any pickin gis being
done"

Troops were called to the assistance
