SENATOR TAYLOR IN
CONFERENCE WITH KRAUT
HOMINY AND PORK

United States Senator r. l.. Taylor
at his room in the Maxwell house Mon.
day had the following to say: 81 think
HOoper's prohibition call is about the
smartest thing he ever did to find out
how many of his fusion friends are left
to tell the tale.
$50 far, my observations over the
state have been that the people are get
ting together and that they are in the
same spirit that the people of Kentucky
were when they gave a democratic ma
jority of $4,000 on November last. l
think everything is lovely and the
goose hangs high. We are going to
elect democratic governor, demo-
cratic legislature, democratic United
States senator and democratic state
officers.
PPM standing sqdqrely by the dem
ocratic executive committee of Tennes-
see. Its mandates seem wise to me.
Its proposition to divide the officers in
primary which it declares will be
called at the proper time looks reason
able. Let us wait and see the salvation
of the Lord.
Senator Taylor continued 1.-THE pa,
pers of the state had better look up

FLAX is PROFITABLE
Wonderful Paying Proposition In
Western Canadian Prairies. "A.


So much is heard of the wheat. oats
and barley grown in the prairie lands
of western Canada, and SO much has
been told of the wealth to be made
out of the raising of cattle on
the succulent and rich grasses
of those fertile plains, that
most important product has been al
most lost sight of, Flax. Recent press
reports advise us that on one Of the
last boats to clear from Fort William
(at the head of Lake Superior) for
Buffalo. there were 241,0O0 bushels Of
flax valued at s583.220, and on another
boat leaving the same day there were
2sS,000 bushels valued at 100000.
There has been big demand for Ca

movement has been very heavy Flax

the farmer who Is anxious for quick

free homesteads of 100 acres, and
many of these are available within
short distance of the lines of railway
that are already built or under con-
struction, either on the main line or
branches. Besides these free grant
lands there is an opportunity to pur-
chase from railway and land COM

ATTACK ON SENATOR.
STEPHENSON OF WISCONSIN
CHARGED WITH CORRUPT
METHODS BY COMMITTEE.
VOTES TURNED BY MONEY"
Governor MeGovern ls Asked to Lay
Case Before Upper House Of
Congress With View to
an Inquiry.

Madison, Wis.-United States Sena.
tor Isaac Stephenson is charged with
number OF violations of the laws of
Wisconsin in lengthy statement
filed with Gov. F. E. McGovern
Wednesday by the 1909 state senate
committee in its report on the inves-
tigation of the primary campaign and
election of Senator Stephenson.
The committee recommends that a
copy OF the report be submitted to
the United States senate and that
body investigate Mr.. Stephenson's
election.
A summary of the charges against
the senator follows:
That he premeditatedly violated
the statute which requires the filing
under oath Of an account of campaign
expenditures.
That he violated the law which pro-
hibits any one from contributing
money to assist candidate for the
legislature residing outside Of the dis
trict IN which the contributor re,
sides.
That the civil service law of this
state was violated when he caused to
be paid money, which the evidence
shows was paid to State Game War
den Stone and l.. B. Dresser, presi-
dent of the board of control.
That he gave a sum of money to a
supporter of McGovern for United
States senator, such supporter after
ward switching to Stephenson, and
that he paid large sums to others
which afterward were used by them
to induce other persons to assist in
procuring his election.
ION the whole record therefore" !"
the report states, Stephenson is
charged with knowledge of the man
ner in which his campaign was being
conducted and the purposes for which
money was being disbursed.
THE failure to keep or require ac.
counts and the practice of destroying
original memoranda by those engaged
in disbursing Stephenson's funds in
the campaign make 1t clear there was
generalization and method on the part
of Stephenson and his managers to
cover up their methods of conducting
the campaign. That he approved oil
these methods cannot be doubted
Those managers, in plain violation Of
law. gave considerable sums of money
to Levi Fl. Bancroft. C.. G. Wellens
gard; Thomas REYNOLDS. John Mulder
E. A. Everett and w. L. Smith. whs
then were candidates for nomination
to the assembly"
"A large part of money distributed
in the Stephenson campaign, probabl.
a sum in excess Of $4,000, was uset
by Stephenson managers to procure
unlawfully and corruptly the nomina
ton and election OF Isaac Stephenson
to the United States senate"

nothing in nature or art more beauti-
full than a collection of butterflies
and 1t is hobby upon which one
may spend almost any amount OF
money, as is proven by the fact that
one of the Rothschilds gladly paid
more than $4,000 for an especially
rare butterfly which he had long
sought for his collection. Most Of
these private collectors, of course.
purchase their butterfly treasures
merely for their own satisfaction and
for the edifcation of their friends but
there are other folk who buy butter
flies as an aid to their work or busi-

dressmakers buy butterflies in order
to obtain new shades and suggestions
for new color combinations for gowns.
The famous Worth started the prac-
tise and other dressmakers who cater
to the wealthy fashionables have fol-
lowed his example.
