THE NEW REPUBLICAN ALIGNMENT.

Four years ago now, Mr.. Taft was the leading
candidate for the Republican Presidential nomina-
ton. Opposed TO him bitterly and vciously op-
posed, were Knox, backed by the Penrose machine
of Pennsylvania; Hughes, backed by the old-line
black horse cavalry" machine of New York; Can
non, backed by the ancient reactonary machine Of
the House, and by the bg-business forces Of Illinois,
Foraker, backed by the old corporation organization
in Ohio Fairbanks, backed by the Indiana machine
of Toryism and La Toilette, with his loyal Wiscon-
sin delegation supporting him.
Grouped together, these opponents of Taft were
commonly referred to as the reactonaries." They
numbered among their political generals Crane Pen
rose, Frank Black, Aldrich, Hale Sherman, Depew,
Hemenway, Long of Kansas and about all the rest
of the men who were and are known as the enemies
of progressive policies. Because Taft was Roose-
Velts candidate it was with them anything to beat
Taft"
Today another campaign is on Mr.. Taft is again
candidate But how different the alignment
The people who fought Taft four years ago are
now practically all for his nomination.
Those who supported Taft four years ago are now
all against him. The business politicians the money
power statesmen the representatives of privileges
and private interest, lined up just soIidly as
they we're before: but this time they are for Taft in
stead of against him.
lhey nave learned, from three years OF perform
ance, that he is their President They want four
years more Of him. They would rather risk the
party'S defeat than forsake his leadership.
1t is a situation that the country needs most
earnestly to consider. Mr. Taft has selected William
B. Mckinley of Illinois, for his campaign manager
Mckinley is supporter of Cannon for Speaker and
Lorimer for Senator.
He is past master in the art of getting funds
from big business to Presidential and other cam
paigns. If he dominates Mr.. Taft he will be chair
man of the national committee.
If then he elects his candidate, what will happen
Just certainly as anything of the political fu-
ture be predicted, it will that, assuming the
next House to be Republican, Cannon will be the Ad-
mnistration's candidate for Speaker.
Cannon being elected Speaker, the reforms in
House procedure and rules that have made the lower
branch of Congress real deliberative body and a
useful factor in legislative work will be repudated
and the ancient regime restored.
With reactionary President, the reactonary
element secured in control of the Senate-what
chance will there be, then, for the progressive and
constructive work that the nation demands shall be
done?
There is the situation in brief, which demands
that the Taft machine shall not be placed in con-
troll of national affairs.
1t is the whole statement of reasons why Mr..
latts nomination must be prevented if the Republi-
can party is to save itself

tuberculosis in the human family
has been lessening materially during
the past is years. but reports from
the various meat-packing centers OF
the country fail to show the same
encouraging condition regarding tu-
berculosis In hogs during the same
space of time. 1t must be admitted
that reports have come from several
localities during the past four years
showing decrease in the oumber of
tuberculosis swine sent to market, but
review Of the collective records OF
the country at large shows an in
crease rather than a decrease In the
number OF swine affected by this dis
ease.
The small amount OF money re-
quired to begin hog raising and the
quick returns on the capital invested
make this industry an attractive one
to the small farmer. The hog will
make pound Of gain on less feed
than most live stock, and will prob
ably utilize waste food products OF
every variety II properly prepared for
him. AS tuberculosis In this species

significance of the latter statement is
obvious.
The vitality OF hogs or their powers
of resistance to disease are necessari

tions which frequently obtain in hos
raising, namely, the forced feeding fol
fattening and the small feeding pens
in vogue in certain districts. Wher

DROWNED IN KANAWHA

Charleston, w. va.-Another victim,
in the person of Roy p. Oldham, was
claimed by the waters of the Kanawha.
Mr.. Oldham and Mr.. G. e. Eldridge

men in the water. Elridge chung to

went down, drowning before help
could arrive. Two ferrymen we're at

rowing out with all haste rescued Ell

though too late to be Of assistance to
Oldham.
According to the statement made by
Mr.. Eldridge, who is a Mormon and q
missionary for the church OF Later
Day Saints, he and his brother mis-
sionary had been In their rooms en-
gagged in study during the day, and
starting out for walk It was pro

MAINE HEN HOUSE
is ADVANTAGEOUS
Feature Of Structure Is Closet
Form for Protection in Cold
Weather.

In the curtain-front type of poultry
house used at the Maine experiment
station a feature of the original plan
on which considerable stress was laid
was the canvas curtain front of the
roosts. This curtain, together with
the back wall of the house and the
dropping board under the roost,
formed q closet In which the birds
were shut up at night during cold
weather.
When the curtain-front house was
first devised. 1t was thought es-
sential to provide such a closet to
conserve the body heat Of the birds
during the cold nights when the tenn.
perature might be well below zero.
Experience has shown. however, that
this was mistake. Actual test shows
that the roosting closet is of no ad.
vantage, even In such severe climate
as that of Orono.
On the contrary, the birds certain.
ly thrive better without the roost cur.
tain than with it. 1t has been a gen.
eral observation among users of the
curtain-front type Of house that when
the roost curtains are used the birds
are particularly susceptible to colds.
It is not hard to understand why this
should be SO. ThA air in the roosting
closet when 1t Is opened lii the morn.
| Ing is plainly bad. The fact that 1t is
warm In no way offsets physiological.
ly the evils of its lack Of oxygen and
excess Of carbon dioxide, ammoniacal
vapors, and other exhalations from
| the bodies OF the birds.
! For some time past 1t has been felt
that the roosting closet was at least
unnecessary, II not in fact positive
evil. Consequently the time Of begin.
ming to close the roost curtain in the
| fall has been each year longer de.
| layed. Finally, In the fall OF 1910, II
was decided not to use these curtains
at all during the winter. Consequent.
| Iy they were taken out OF the house
or spiked to the roof. az the case
might be. The winter OF 1901 was
! severe one. On several occasions
the temperature dropped to 30 de
grees below zero. During the winter
1.-THE mortality was exceptionally low
and the egg production exceptionally
high.
In view OF this experience the sta
ton has decided to discontinue the
use of the roost curtain. 1t would
seem to be generally undesirable. OF
at laast unnecessary.
