GAN TAFT WIN?
If RenOminated Will he Recover East ern States Lost Last Year
Can he Hold Progressive West ern States Which Remained
 Republican in 1910

Washington, Sept. 24.-From now until June next two questions will be presented to the republicans of the country, with increasing insistence. They are inseparable and upon the answers to them both depends the so- lution of the tariff railroad, trust and conservation problems political control of the country for four years.
 Will President Taft be renominat- ed? If he is, will he be reelected?
 These two questions have confront ed political Washington for months. They have been carefully weighed in the light of the last election, the re- turns tor which are worth a searching analysis.
 In 1910 the democrats carried P states, of which 24 have democratic a majority of democrats in congress. But it must be noted that although the standpatters lost some eighty seats in congress in the landslide, the progressives doubled their represen- tation in the lower house. Nothing presents the situation so clearly ac a table showing, in detail, the situation developed by the last election, with the electoral votes based on che new apportionment:
The copper era., 1911-09-29
NARROWING HOLDS MOISTURE
One of Most important Objects West ern Farmer Must Bear in Mind.
 Especially During Fall.

The proper method of farming, un- like many trades or lines of business, cannot be confined by any hard and fast rules.
 Different soils require different treatment, and a treatment which might be ideal for one season might not be equally so for the next How ever, the conservation of moisture is one of the most important. if not the most important, objects the western farmer must keep in mind and con- duct all his opera tions with that end in view.
 He must keep this in mind when fall blowing, but opinions differ as to the best method. Some say they harrow down; others say leave it rough to hold the snow. I have observed and tried both methods, writes Charles w. N. Tinott in Campbells Farmer, but l always harrow well the ground as plowed each day, and I will try to explain why this should give best results. Almost every season some rain falls during harvest or later in the season, so that, as a rule, the stubble ground turns quite moist; and believing the old proverb, "A bird in hand is worth two in the bush" I think this should be har- rowed at once, for it is surprising how rapidly newly plowed land will dry out even in the fall.
 Then regarding the holding of snow, we are told that 1t takes seven inches of snow to make one inch of water. so 1t can be seen that even very roughly plowed land would not gain very great amount of water, and all snow falling in a melting con dition will soak in whether smooth or rough. Then generally the snow. when it does sbegin to melt in the spring goes quickly, and the ground still being frozen the water must either run off or wait to be evap- orated.
 I must admit that my experience and observation has left me little faith in snow as a source of mois- ture. Then. again, in our district we are troubled with early frosts in the fall. so that having stubble land har- rowed down all ready for the seeder is most decided advantage in help ing us to get our wheat early, thus bettering our chances of having our wheat grade No. 1 hard. Oats and barley may be sown later and still escape the frost
 My advice to farmers is therefore to harrow well each days blowing.

THE ASSAULT RECIPROCITY
New York Herald Bitterly Arraigns Republicans Who Are Opposing
 Its Passage.

When great Caesar, standing at bay beside Pompeys statue, realized that not only envious Casca and lean and hungry Cassius, but also the well be loved Brutus, sought his life, he ut tered the cry Of sorrow, amaZement and reproach that has come echoing down to us through the ages.
 President Taft has equal cause for grief ard indignation when the reel procity bill for which he labored with such zeal is feIoniousIy attacked by men highly placed in the councils of the nation and supposed to be his friends.-New York Herald.
 This is a terrible thrust at Elihu Root and others who would slaughter the reciprocity bill by the method of asking for amendments that cannot be adopted.
 If Canadian reciprocity shall fail, 1t will be through the action of Republi- can United States senators. The Re publican president favors it. and the Democratic house of representatives has adopted it.
 Can 1t be consigned to the tomb through the cunning of Elihu Root?
The copper era., 1911-09-29

he get back his native state of Ohio? Can he develop any strength in the states on the Atlantic coast which left him last year, without making corresponding losses in the west?
 Not counting his own state, there are Onl. fye states, all on the A tan tic sea board, where be can expect to make any cOnsidera ble recovery Maine, Massa achusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York. But there are nine states in the middle west and far west, where the revolt against lhe Payne-Aldrich tariff, the Wickersham m railroad policy, ,Ballingerism and LOT imerism menance the success of any standpat candidate for any office. These states are Washington, Oregon California, Illinois, Kansas, Nebras- ka, North Dakota and Wisconsin. Now, the number of electoral votes in the two groups is nearly equal and it is to the western group that the president is turning his energies. He has paid sCant attention to New EuS duusuS DdISly SIOpS ln INSN OTh and Pennsylvania. Ohio and Indiana he does not consider at all. Breathing defiance he is going into the"enemy's countrv''on another tour of" apology" Two years ago he apologized for the Payne Aldrich law and now he will apologize to the farmers for removing the protective duties on their pro- ducts through the Canahian reciproc- ity law, while he maintained the cost of clothing, blankets and car pets by his veto of the La Toilette wool bill. For six weeks he will lay aside his executive duties, to invite the west to repudiate the course of it's progressive representatives in congress. The last tour was followed by in creased progressive stengtt in congress and the state capitols. Is it likely that the voters have so changed that the result this time can be other than it was before?
