DESERTS PROF. WILSON.
Why Democratic Editor Declares for
President Taft

]. Holman Buck, the Democratic
editor of the Western Nevada Miner
at Nina, in yoicing his allegiance to
the Taft administration, is not sparing
in his criticisms of the actions and
policies of Governor Woodrow VIII
son. the Democratic nominee, or of
Roosevelt. Buck is Democrat of the
old school and readily sees the error
of his ways In supporting the Demo
cratic nominee for the presidency. In
speaking of Wilson he has the fol-
lowing to say:
a man utterly untried in the affairs
of government; whose administration
as governor of New Jersey has proven
a failure and a farce; whose views
have been contracted by a lifetime
spent in the narrow confines of the
school room; whose associations have
naturally been the classes rather than
the masses and whose radical views
and vagaries outrival those of Debbs
and Emma Goldman and that no more
represents real Democracy than does
the frothings of Roosevelt The is
sues then are Taft, conservatism. the
preservation of the constitution and
a free Republican form of government
versus Wilson. socialistic radicalism
and the turning over of established
form of government to a mobocracy
DeueFins a. We 10 we would be I'M
just to ourselves and false to princf-
pies and the public did we not align
ourself with Mr. Taft and the princi-
pies he represents. We hope that In
the coming fray that he win be vic
torious and shall lend every effort at
our command to bring this about.

Mr.. Roosevelt's explanation is un-
worthy of consideration for two rea-
SONS In the first place. a man In
his position from whom advice and
suggestion had been sought by the
president of the United States ought
not to admit having hastily endorsed
reciprocity without knowing what he
was doing. AS a matter of fact. Mr..
Roosevelt's letters and speeches
above quoted are exactly In line with
his record.
More than this. MI Roosevelt's ex-
PLANTATION is an insult to the tntelli-
gent voter because in his letter to
President Taft he says, Il firmly be-
lieve in free trade with Canada"
This is going farther than President
Taft ever went, because Mr.. Taft's
idea of reciprocity was to obtain val
liable consideration in return for con-
cessions granted. Roosevelt's free
trade proposition II enacted into law
would break down all the barriers
between Canada and the United
States and would cause tremendous
financial loss to American farmers
The fact is that Mr.. Roosevelt was
heartily in favor of reciprocity and
of free trade with Canada until he
maze MS tour OF the west DeIOre the
Republican national convention, when
he found that reciprocity was unpop-
ular Then he shifted. His pres
emit attitude demonstrates his utter
insincerity and shows that he is ready
to do anything to catch votes He
is ready to endorse anything that he
believes is popular and to condemn
that which he thinks is unpopular
without regard to his own convictions
or wise governmental policies. The
manner In which he has suddenly re-
versed himself in the hope that by
so doing he would gain a few votes is
an example of demagogism thorough
" typical of his character
1t is also important to remembe-
that If a Democratic president should
be elected reciprocity with Canada
would soon be an accomplished fact
inasmuch as the Democrats in the
house of representatives voted for l.
and also voted against repeating the
law which had been passed Demo
cratic reciprocity is the kind tha'
the Canadian newspapers are hopinr

mean that Canada will get everythine

WHY HE SHIFTED POSITION
He Not Only Favored Reciprocity but
Wrote President Taft That He
Firmly Believed In Free Trade
With Canada.

Although reciprocity is now dead
issue. it is worth while, for the en-
lightenment of those who oppose
President Taft for his endorsement
of reciprocity, to recall the position
taken by Colonel Roosevelt upon that
question. Mr.. Roosevelt favors free
trade with Canada and was an ardent
advocate and supporter of reciprocity
until he found that its endorsement
would not help him in his third term

sidering the question of reciprocity.

Roosevelt He knew that Mr.. Roose-

familiar with the subject and that he
was, at that time, a good and loyal
Republican. When, in the course OF
a lengthy letter, he asked Mr. Roose-
velt's advice, he reviewed both sides
of the matter in impartial fashion
Mr.. Roosevelt's reply was not only
full endorsement but he went SO far
as to advocat. absolute free trade
as follows:

pies. was of the highest type. not being

From this county apples were dis

tire fair and many prizes were awarded
to fruit growers Of this county.
In the year 1910 small orchard be-

OF New Providence, produced forty
bushels Of fine cherries and ESQ bushels
Of apples of excellent quality, which
Of course found ready home market.
Last year 1911. this same orchard pro-
duced over eighty bushels Of cherries
and a thousand bushels of apples. all
of good quality and free from worms.
II is needless to say that this orchard
is in excellent condition and we'll cared
for.
Adjoining this farm is another larger
one containing about twenty acres
owned and operated by D. A. Pidgeon,
from which was harvested last year
about 1000 baskets of grapes OF the
finest quality. and 1000 bushels OF
apples OF excellent flavors. 1t is neces-
sary to see this fine orchard to realize
just what 1t is
Besides these are other small orch
ards thruout the county that would
bring the yield up to very con
spicuous place in production OF fruit
From these orchards apples are
shipped to various points in this and

properly hooked after and cared for to
be profitable. but with proper attention
given to the industry Iowa Will rank
among the best states in the union
for fruit culture.
