BUYS RANCH IN CALIFORNIA.
Arthur Miller, Son Of Mr.. c. D. Miller
Starts Lemon Ranch Near
Whittier, Cali.

The Review is in receipt of let
ter from Mr.. Arthur Miller, son of Mr..
c. D. Miller, of Denison, asking us to
change the address of his paper to
Fullerton, Cali. Fullerton is twenty
miles from Whittier and the vicinity
is going to be a great country. Mr..
Miller says:
Il have my place set out in lemons,
and they are doing fine. Land that
was selling for $3.50 per acre year
ago is now selling for from $500 to
$1,000 per acre. The land ! purchased
is located in what is known as the
'Jauss' tract; the water has only been
developed on this tract two years, and
is pumped from the Santa Anna river.
We have 100 acres of water bearing
land that belongs to the tract
"The water is pumped into a large
reservoir 500 feet long, SO feet wide
and 20 feet deep, and another one
about half as large. The two reser-
VOirs furnish water for three thousand
acres of land.
"The Union Oil company is putting
I'D an outfit now for the drilling for
oil, alongside of this tract of land.
'The weather is ideal, it has never
been above 80 degrees this year, and
the evenings are nice and cool; it GER
tainly is a delightful country. Only
25 miles to Newport Beach.
Respectfully,
Arthur Miller"

Primary vs. Representative System.

Hon. John D. Long in Boston Her
aid:
In view of the expiring sparks OF
the Roosevelt rocket, those of us who
like and value the colonel for his at
tractive qualities have feeling OF
sympathy with him in the rather hui
initiating attitude in which his
heady exuberance and his Indifference
to the warnings and counsels OF his
many friends have left him. 1t were
perhaps better to show himself a
good loser and to take his defeat
manfully, but who shall blame him
for getting such solace as he can
from his recent cry in the Outlook
over his split milk? With not un-
usual exaggeration he claims that
only some seventy delegates at Chi
cago, who voted for Mr. Taft, morally
represented their constituents. That
this is utterly wild and has been dis
credited by Nichalos Murray Butler
and others and will be still more so
by the forthcoming statements OF the
committee now preparing detailed
report on every contested case, is
getting to be a part of ancient his
tory. Such a rash prOnunciamento as
this in The Outlook not only falls fiat,
but reacts.
But assume for the moment that, If
the primary system had been adopted
in all the states, the result would
have been different, as the colonel
claims. Would not that simply raise
the question whether that or the
present system is better? Does the
result at Chicago impair the wisdom
and propriety of the choice OF Mr..
Taft and the defeat of Mr. Roose-
welt? The colonel must not overlook
or becloud the real issue. Is it not
a much more fundamental one than
he presents? Is not the issue, which
is certainly now upon us. whether our
shall be, as Jefferson and
Lincoln both advocated, a govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people through their chosen
or government the
laws, executives and judicial officers
of which shall all be the immediate
choice OF the whole
body of the people, not in deliberate
assembly. but in the hot haste and
feverish excitement of the hustings?

HERTZ WINS
OVER UMLAND
Wrestling Match at Bruederschaft
Hall Saturday Night Attended
by Enthusiastic Crowd.
w. e. kahIer Acts as Referee, Giving
Satisfaction to Spectators and
- Most Of Participants.

The wrestling exhibition at the
Bruederscaft hall Saturday evening
was witnessed by fair sized crowd
and $4,000 were taken in at the door
w. E. Kahler acted as referee and
seen to it that the exhibition was &C.
cording to the latest and approved
rules of the game.
In the preliminaries the first bout
was between Art Williams, of Carroll,
and Irwin Johnson, of Deloit. The go
only lasted 20 minutes as both con-
testants were out of condition. Both
men were possessed of many of the
fine points that go to make up the
game and their exhibition was salts
factory. At the end of 20 minutes
both agreed to quit.
The next preliminary was between
VIM. VonDohlen, of Denison, and
Jack Wyland, of Harlan. The men
went together as though they meant
business and VonDohlen was given the
first fall in 80 seconds. In the sec
ond 60 it is claimed VonDohlen was
fouled, but his opponent failed to
throw, and after considerable jangling
VonDohlen offered to give Wyland the
second fall, but the offer was refused.
The main event was eagerly await
ed, and when the men appeared they
were warmly greeted. Walter Hertz,
of Denison, weighed in at 165 pounds
and his opponent, VIM. Umland,
weighed 1856. The exhibition was
clean, the contestants were courteous
and gentlemanly, and each showed re-
suits of good training Hertz proved
the better man, however, and it is
said that at no time did he appear in
danger. He secured the first fall in
As minutes and the second was short
and sweet, only lasting six minutes.
They promise to meet again in the
near future when Umland will try for
the belt.

THE JUSTICE DUE TAFT.

The following high tribute is paid
to our president by Congressman
Rodenburg of Illinois:
Mr.. Chairman, the republican party
faces this contest with courage and
with confidence. We know that we
are right and we have an abiding
faith in the triumph of any question
of truth or justice submitted TO the
will of free and enlightened people.
We have an abiding confidence in the
discriminating sense Of the American
voter. We believe that he can distin-
guish between wheat and chaff, be-
tween a statesman and demagogue,
between evolution and revolution. The
record of the administration Of Will
lam Howard Taft will be fully vindi-
Gated. When the froth and foam and
fury Of misrepresentation shall have
disappeared, when the pillows OF bill
lingsgate shall have subsidized, when
the calm succeeds the storm, the
sober-thinking people who are a ma
jority in this country will do full JUS
tice to this brave, fearless and manly
man who has never failed to do the
right as God has given him to see the
right" They will elect William How
ard Taft as his own successor be-
cause in him the American people
recognize the dignity and the majesty
of an honest man who has tried faith
fully to uphold the best traditions OF
the republican party, the party OF
progress and protection, the party OF
a peoples hope and of a nations de-
sire, the party that believes in pre-
serving in all it's strength and purity
and glory the constitution of the faith
ers. 1--WE stand at Armagedon and
We battle for the Lord"

ELEPHANTS WHO WORK.
Perform Many Duties for Which They
Receive Extra Pay in Peanuts
and Dainties.

Without doubt the most intelligent
and versatile pachyderms ever seen
in America are the score of elephants
with the Hagenbeck-W shows,
which exhibit here Saturday, August
10th. Their field of usefulness is not
confined to pageantry and perform
ances, though they are especially
prominent in these dual roles. No
elephant bearing in state Indian prince
or potentate was ever more gorgeous
ly robed and bedecked than these cir
Gus elephants in the Hagenbeck-Wal-
lace street parade. Clothes of gold
finger velvet embroidered with silver
thread and covered with brilliant or
naments reach to the ground on either
side, having only the heads of the
ponderous beasts exposed. On their
backs are immense howdahs, designed
after the most ornamental of those
used by East Indian dignitaries in
the great durbar. The style or archi-
lecture is extremely oriental; there is
extravagant use Of gold leaf and jew
els and the furnishings are of the cost
Hest silks and satins. In the how
dahs the elephant trainers are seated
CARRIED in regal splendor, representing
oriental potentates.
At the performance in the arenic
displays the elephants are divided in
companies filling the three rings, Civ
ing forceful illustration of mans
mastery over the biggest brutes of the
animal kingdom. These modern mas
todons interpret intricate drills, the
latest terpischorean triumphs, includ-
ing the famous Salome dance, from
pyramids and elephan-
tine tableauX, play provoking pranks
and in many other ways show astound-
ing agility and surprising sagacity.
1t is a noteworthy fact, however,
that as working elephants this Hag
enbeck-Wallace group of pachyderms
excel. Trained and broken as beasts
of burden on the public works of Cey-
Ion, they have not been permitted to
forget their earlier teachings. Driv-
en- by their trainers, they carry in
their trunks the heaviest tent poles
without apparent effort. The primi-
tive method of pushing wagons with
their heads is sometimes resorted to
BY them, or with ropes in their mouths
heir easily pull the largest trucks
md dens, moving them with east, |
hough they be hub deep in the mire.
At feeding time the elephants are
sometimes led to the hay pile outside
he tent. Each animal with his trunk
Dicks up a hundred pound bale and
carries it into the menagerie tent. !
With stamp of the foot they break
he binding wire and proceed to
nunch the meal they have thus pre-
pared. AS extra pay for their ef-
orts they are given handfuls of pea
luts and choice dainties that would
lelight the average child. They rel
sh these with gusto highly epicur
an and show their gratitude by loud
Such interesting sights
S these are to be seen daily on the
how grounds of the Hagenbeck-Wal
ace shows.

Michigan graduates point proudly
to the fact that twenty-seven alumni
of the University of Michigan are
members of the Congress of the
United States. more than twice as
many as any other school can claim.
1t is indeed a proud boast but
there are other ways than running
for Congress in which the graduate
can serve his school. Few schools
have had more loyal or faithful
alumni than the University of Mis-
souri,. The quick rise of the school
to promise has been almost unprece-
dented. In 1897. the enrolment at
the University was but sos. In 1912
it was more than 5000. Even ten
years ago the school had not been
heard of in parts of Missouri. Today
the University is both known and
respected among the people.
