1t seems the account of farm

| Miller has not only raised large
pumpkins this year, but has

stalks on his premises, the larg-
est of which measures IL feet
| high and IL inches in circumfer-
ence at the ground, and has fol-
iage, some of the largest of which

Aboard President Taft's Train.
There's one thing / like about
President Taft above all others
and that's his courage" said
Senator Warren of Wyoming, ac-
companyipg the President on his
trip through that state. He
doesn't say one thing in the East,
where it's popular, and trim it
down to satisfy the sentiment of
the West, where perhaps it isn't
so popular. d"
Senator Warren had occasion
to give utterance to these words
of encomium in rather sorrowful
mood, for President Taft had
just delivered an address to the
people of Cheyenne, Senator
Warren's home city. Senator
Warren owns more sheep, it is
said, than any other man in the
entire world. The sheep indus
try is Wyoming's greatest boon.
And if there is any objection
whatever to Schedule K in Wy
oming, it is because Schedule K
isn't high enough. Senator War
rem is the high priest of wool
protection. But what President
Taft said to his Cheyenne audi
ence, with Senator Warren on
the platform, was this: II have
said before, and have not chan
ged my view, that Schedule X is
too high and | intend to recon-,
mend reductions of it to Con
gress at the next session. IT.;
one thing to say that a schedule
is too high, and another thing tx
say how much it shall be reduc
ed. And for the information il
(regard to that we must rely OF

can't say that that Wyoming
wool audience cheered wildly O
otherwise manifested eXuberan
enthusiasm, but there wasn't
man or woman voter in that aud
ience who didn't carry away al
abiding respectful opinion as tt
President Taft's courage, con
sistency and integrity. 1t helped
r him more in Wyoming than an!
, soft soap he might have handed
, out. "There will be no trouble
about Wyoming and the Presi
dent need give himself no con

state, who had been advertised
as an anti-Taft man, ''both will

Trade continues quiet but condi-

Further Improvement IN the steel in
