Congressman Campbell Says
Kansas Is Waking Up.
Discovering the Real President
in the SunfIOwer State.
CURTIS MAKES CALL.
Says No Matter What Happens
State Is for Taft.
Senator BOrah, Former Kansan,
May Be New Justice.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Visitors to the
White House take mighty rosy reports
to the president of the alleged change
of sentiment among the people, no
tabl~ in the insurgent states of the
west.
Congressman Phil P. Campbell of
Kansas was at the White House to-
day. When leaving he said to the
State Journal correspondent: The
people are discovering the real Taft
In thinking it over, as they are now
doing, they find much to praise and
little to blame in his two and a half
years of administration. They adj
mire his straightforward way of say
ing and doing things; the goodness
and simplicity of his nature, his I'M
guarded way of talking, even about
his hopes and fears; his quiet and I'M
pretentious manner of accomplishing
things AS they analyze they find
that he hes done one big thing after
another without advertising or fire
works.
Mr.. Taft has accomplished more
in his time in the White House than
did Theodore Roosevelt during the
latter's two terms as president; that is
to say. Mr. Taft has secured the en-
actment of more important legislation
for the betterment of the people than
did Roosevelt.
''Taft's policy Of breaking up
mOnopOlies while showing no hoStih-
ty to big business properly conducted,
is winning favor in all directions I
have talked with farmers, railroad
men, mechanics. miners and business
men, and ! find they are not worrying
because a few fellows who have been
making a loud noise have lost their
thunder by the quiet. forceful work of
the president. They are wondering
why it is. though. that as soon as the
antitrust law is given life and is be-
ing enforced the interests and the
leaders of the insurgents at once want
the law changed. They understand
the interests. but they can not under
stand why the insurgents are working
for the same thing.
"President Taft is gaining strength
with raDid strides and his reelection
looks brighter every day. He will
have the strongest support next year
from the voters of Kansas that was
ever eiven a Republican candidate for
president
Senator Curtis told President Taft
today that no matter who the Demo-
Gratis nominate for president. Mr. Taft
will ca rrv the Sunflower state. There
is no doubt Of this" said the Kansas
senator who is confident Mr. Taft will
get the DELEGATION to the national con-
vention although the LaFollette peO-
pie headed by Senator BristoW. Will
make hot fight for the delegates.
President Taft is seriously consider
ing the appointment of former kan
sas man as a successor to the seat OF
the late Justice Harlan on the United
states supreme court bench. This
has the strong endorsement of many
Republicans and Democrats for the
appointment.

May Adopt Grub Stake
 Homestead Law

The public land lawa prcvi1e that two persons may jointly take up pub lie lard under the mining laws, and one person do the work ou the claim the other furnishing the necessary money to buy supplies This is com monly known as the G.ub-Stake Law and each owns half interest in any land 90 obtsined from the govern. ment. There is DO good reason why this principle should not apply to land taken up under the homestead law, and bill embodying this idea Is BOW before Congress If Congress should pass this bill it would give an opportunity for labor and capital to work together in the matter of talk ing up pubic land one person fur nishing the necessary money to properly improve and go throug b with the homestead and the othe r furnishing the necessary work and residing on the claim. This would provide means for very many worthy people to acquire homes who have DO hopes of getting homes of their own under the present public land laws.

Since these fine rains it makes a fellow wish that he was back to soil watching the fast growing crops. Lucky, indeed, is the fellow who owns a ranch in the fertile COchise county valleys, and who has his acres Tn growing crops of alfalfa, millet, grains and vegetables. The outlook for the Cochise farmer never was any more promising than now. The moisture in the pretty green fields now is sui ficlent to guarantee bumper crops.

THEY WAIT TOO LONG.

J. c. Stubbs. traffic director for the
Hartman lines, is to retire, having
reached the age of 65. and will devote
his time to his family. The announce
ment will lead many to inquire if Mr.
Stubbs has not delayed matters rather
long The allotted life of man is three
score years and ten. Already Mr..
Stubbs is within five years of that
goal and if in the past he has not
given sufficient time to mis- family he
has little opportunity now for MAX
ing amends He has denied himself
the real joys of his day of life until
the sun has almost set But in doing
so AIr Stubbs has acted like many
other men who have become eminent
ia the realms of business and industry.
il is the rule for such men to work
with an intensity that knows no rest,
sometimes they drop while still in
the harness as was true of Edward H.
hartman. They are in the game and
cannot quit or at least feel they can
not do so. SO they play on until the
Grim Timekeeper beckons them to
cease.

tackled him not because he had en-

him. Fawcett lost out in the tender
