v. S. Presidents Favor Temperance.
tSpokesman's Review


The opponents Of temperance find no
comfort in the presidents OF the United
States. The foes of intcmperance find
outspokcn support in their views and
practice.
Abraham Lincoln believed that ex-
cessiEe use of Intoxicating liquor
causes much poverty. degradation and
crime. He therefore became total
abstainer and circulated the pledge
among the friends Of his youth.
Grant repeatedly turned down his
glass at public banQuets. Hayes ab0l
ished liquor from the White House
Garfield, Harrison. Mckinley and
Roosevelt, if they drank at all, were
almost total abstainers.
Now President Taft throws the
weight of his great influence and
strong character in favor OF temper
ance, In letter read Sunday to the
scholars OF Vincent Methodist church
and to 5000 other American Sunday
schools he sounded the keynote of a
new movement for total abstinence.
II seems that the Anti Saloon league
has founded the Lincoln legion as its
total abstinence wing. and that Mr.
TAFT approves the idea. He judicially
declares that he agrees with Lincoln
and also that "onc who abstains from,
the use of intoxicating liquor avoids
Il dangerous temptation. Those who
avoid alcoholic liquor altogether are
on the wiser side

TRAGEDIES at Immigrant Station.

Almost every day affords its story
Immigrant station at Ellis Island. on
Wednesday. Otto Bertram, blind boy
four years old. was taken from his
father and mother who were detained
at the station, and sent to Hoffman
Island with scarlet fever. which he
had contracted in the detention pen.
The father and mother and brother
nine years old are awaiting deporta-
ton
The family had returned recently
from Germany where they had taken
the blind boy TO be treated by Il
specialist. On their arrival they were
held up on the ehild's account. They
had lived in Milwaukee six years, and
the parents assert that the child was
born in that city. The immigration
officials told the father that he would
have to produce a birth certificate
showing the blind boy TO be native

were unable to furnish the certificate,
and the whole family will have to be

y companion case is the separation
uf husband and his wife and chill

to be about the best that the immigra-
lion officials can make out Of the

port Pole who has q wife and two

Farmers Protest.

tScw England lfomcstend)
The Canadian reciprocity movement
at Washington should unquestionably
go over to next winter. a question
SO fraught with Importance to agrl-
cultural interests cannot be rightfuliy
settled without due consideration. Not
taking up here the merits In Il coun-
try-wide scnye of ehlurging our bust
ncss relations with Canadn, the fact
remains that untold numbers OF far
mcrs along the northern borders are
terribly i'll earnest in protesting
against tine movement. New England
Homestead has just completed an in
NcStigation among potato growers Of
northern Maine. and the deductions
form highly interesting and lnstruc-
tive reading. A little further west IN
Vermont and New York, there is the
kccncst dismay over the thought of
greatly enlarged imports Of cream
from Canada. and figures are mar
shHled to show that such represent the
production OF vast numbers of mich
cows. Other instances might be cited
The question is too big to be settled
overnight. Ample time should be
given to afford thorough investigation.

1t came from a man who was in a
temperance meeting in Maine. where I
spoke several months ago. He was
present with his wife and three little
children. A large number of men and
women signed the pledge but he said

Easy to Figure for the Other FelIou

THE farmers of Maine are to be
forced by the proposed reciprocity
measure to compete with rivals who
have the advantage of cheaper manu-
features, cheaper farm lands and
cheaper labor" eXclaims the Kenne-
bee Journal. Nonsense, The Maine
farmers will never know any difference
after reciprocity goes into effect. ex-
cept that they will find number of
the things they use. like lumber,
cheaper. Maine farmers. and the great
majority of all the other people in
Maine, will be better off under the
reciprocity agreement than they are
now.-Bath Times.
President Taft need look no farther
for his tariff experts. Here's man
who KNOWS all about it, Perhaps
lie remembers all about the beautiful
reciprocity funk which Blaine so well
describes in his Twenty Years in

Must the Elk or Settler Go?

;. \. Leek, author and naturalist.
las recently made a rather sensation
al report on the threatened extermi-
nation Of the elk in the National Park.
In "a current magazine article Mr.
Leck describes the valley in which he
estimates that 5000 elk must soon
starve unless relief is sent them by
their human friends. In the winter
time the Yellowstone Park elk go in
large numbers to the vicinity of jack
sons Hole, Wyoming. Mr. Leek
describes the valley in which they are
lcrded as about 10 By 40 miles in cx-
tent, surrounded on all sides by snow
clad mountains. lie says:
The present situation is, therefore,
that whereas during the summer the
elk have u protected range of about 20
acres per capita, in winter their range
affords probably less than an acre
= each, for on only comparatively
SlnU portion of the valley are elk able
to winter, because OF heavy snowfall
Senator Dickson of Montana. who is
Chairman Of the committee on con-
5efNatlon IN the L. s. Senate. has
wired several towns in the Jackson's
Hole country, asking for ratification
or denial of the report. His action
viii be governed accordingly. If the
reports are confirmed, Immediate
steps will be taken for the preserva
ton of the elk but there is more or
less belief that as in the case Of for
nner years these reports have been ex.
aggerated.
Much as the people OF the countr!
desire that these elk herds should b,
preserved there are two sides to tn
question to be considered. The nat
ural increase is reported from 1000 T.
5000 annually and only about 1000 ar
killed. Though the elk have suffere
terribly in recent years it is fac
that the extensive irrigation works o
the settlers with grain fields and ha,
meadows in the place of the forme
saSe-brush the country will supper
more elk now than ever before, and
must be at least trying to the settler
who are obliged to guard their ha,
stacks at night in order to save thei
scanty supply for stock. During ;
raid these elk herds can be halted b,
no sort of fence and roam at will owe
all the ranches, devouring everythin,
in sight that can be eaten, even I,
willow brush one half inch in dame
ter. One suggested relief for TIN
situation which would conserve tn
elk herds is to drive the settlers out 0
the Jackson's Hole country and Civ
the entire valley TO the elk as a win
ter resort. The Indian and the but
faio have had to give way to the ad
vance OF civilization. IL would be a
innovation to see the settlers retrea
before the growth of the elk herds.

If It's Fair, Why This Haste?

If the reciprocity bill fails to pass

farmers of Maine are now led to hope,
there is no doubt that the President
will call an extra session

ton TO push this obnoxious measure

ably opposed Ia the measure as it
now stands.

If any organ of vacuous play on
words believes that its inane vapor-
ings against the farmers. and the
Kennebec Journal because it cham
pions the farmers. is winning friends
fer it or the party. it is time for it
TO sit up and listen to the messages
coming from every quarter Of Maine
If it is receiving no protests the Ken
nebec Journal might loan it anywhere
from an envelope full to a solid foot.
Even Democratic Maine Lcgisla-
ture, in the face of the angry storm,
dare not endorse the position of the
national party for reciprocity.
The farmers are aroused and are
being heard from as never before. be-
cause they are organized and alive
and have the courage of their con-
Vlctlons. They are no longer bound
by that invisible thong called party"
to submit to any sacrifice because
more powerful political or financial
coalition demands it.
This reciprocity EXPERIMENT has
been tried before; the people know
what to expect. AS in the agreement
or 1854, the market of the United
States is thrown open to Canada and
not product on the Maine farmers
list can be exported there with profit

which no duty is levied. Maine must
look to its own interests first, and that
is what she proposes to do, regard

The operation OF the agreement with
Canada in 1854 to 1866 proved disas-
