During the last winter there were twelve

Help From Fraternal Order.

The department hopes for considerable

Of Elks. The order two years ago agreed
to discontinue the use of elk teeth as a

PRESERVING THE ELK
Five States Supplied With
Some of the Animals.
COLLECTED PAST WINTER
Bill Now in Congress Provides for
Establishment Of Fenced Res
ervation in Wyoming.

Five states have been supplied with
shipments of elk during the past season.
in pursuance of the plan Of the general
government to save the animals from
such practical extinction as has overtaken
the buffalo. Nearly all OF the western
states are now anxious for shipments Of
the elk They are being distributed as
fast as possible but the work is slow
and expensive and limited to the winter
season The states supplied this year
were Washington. Oregon. Utah. Colo
RADIO and Montana.
The biological survey of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture has distributed the
animals 1t aims to make the shipments
average as near twenty as possible. Most
of the elk are collected during the winter
at Jacksons Hole where the government
makes a practice Of feeding them during
the winter About 100 tons of hay were
used i'm this way during last winter The
animals come in to be fed and are driven
into strong corral and then the ones
for shipment are taken out and put on
the cars. 1t is a delicate job to get the
big wild animals without injur1ng them.
There is not much money available. but
the department Is doing as much as pos
sible with the funds in hand.

can ascertain. there are now about 10000
elk in the United States. Most Of these

ern states. but they have been killed of
by hunters and by winter starvation until
their end Is in sight, unless the states
take active steps to preserve them.

Argentine Wants Experts to
Develop Agricultural Work.
SEVERAL LIKELY TO GO
Department Already Has Sent H. F.

Recognized.
SEVERAL LIKELY TO GO

The government Of Argentine is engaG.
ed In organizing its agricultural work on
a. larger scale than ever and Is applying
TO this government for q number Of quail
NED technical men. One has been select
ed and Is on the way there and there are
several others that probably will be Sc
.lected.
The new work in Argentine will not he
a. separate department but will BE a big
division Of what Is now that country's
department Of commerce and labor. The
Argentine government has a large area
and a varied climate. The government
has been watching the development OF
the Department of Agriculture in the
United States and has sent a number of
investigators here. Now they want six
special men to carry on the extended
work.
Schultz One of Those to Go.
The man that has already been selected
is H. F. Schultz of the department.. who
is to be placed in charge of the propagat-
ing garden that will be esta blished at tho
capital He is already on his way south.
W. F. Wight. who has been in the divi-
sion of plant Introduction, also has been
tentatively selected, and the Argentine
division in its service. MIR. Wight is now
in Europe Investigating the potato indus
try, and he has been offered a temporary
job. with all expenses paid. IL he will go
to Argentine for six months and organize
the plant introduction work. AS II will
mean merely six-month furlough at a
largely increased salary and q trip to
new country from Europe. 1t Is thought
there is not much question of his accept
ing.
The negotiations for the new men are
being carried on here between the Argen-
tine legation and the Department of Az
riculture.
In speaking of this foreign work, As
sistant Secretary Hays said that while it
robbed the American service Of some
good men, ii was a good thing for the
men themselves and that it's advantages
to this government probably outweighed
its disadvantages.
Advantages of Plan.
The fact, he said, that the foreign gov
ernments turned to the United States for
technical men showed how the agricul-
tural work of this government was re-
garded abroad. The filing Of these for
eign posts either temporarily or perma
nently by Americans makes greatly for
International understanding and probably
tually bring about world peace. There Is
always less danger. he said. of a serious
disagreement with q man with whom you
were personally acquainted.
It will be Of advantage also to this
country to have men In responsible posts
keep this country In touch with proposed
or accomplished economic Developments
that business men In this country ought
to know.

TALKING ABOUT STRAWS.

The Billings (Mont) Daily Gazette,
which has been strong Roosevelt pa
per until recently, has come over to
Taft the editor giving his reasons for
the change in a double-column article,
declaring that he sees no hope for the
success Of the Third Term party, and
is convinced that the cause Of real re-
form can be best promoted by con-
tinuing the Republican party in power.
The article particularly emphasizes
the danger of bringing about adverse
business conditions through a change
in administration, and points out the
steady advance which has been made
under Republican policies. 1t is a
most significant editorial, and as the
Gazette Is the most important paper in
Montana, its influence upon the cleo
ton can hardly be measured. 1t is only
another one Of the innumerable signs
that the Third Term party has col
lapsed, that the country realizes the
fight is between the Republican party
and the Democratic party, and that no
possible benefit could be derived from
change.

HADLEY Is FOR TAFT
Roosevelt's Former Manager Comes
Out SquareIy for the
President

Gov. Hadley, of Missouri, who was
one of Roosevelts managers at the Re
publican national convention, and who
had charge of the contest made by
Roosevelt delegates, has declined TO
follow the Third Term candidate out
Of the Republican party, and has de-
clared that he will support President
Taft. In a speech at Jefferson City,
Mo-, he said:
81 hope that these many highmind-
ed but, / believe, mistaken men, who
have thought there was greater in
terest to be subserved by joining in
the organization Of new party and
the nomination of another State tick
ct, will yet see that by such acts they
are simply doing that which tends to
insure Democratic success. And l
hope that they will come back to the
that has stood for sane and effective
progress in the conduct Of public af-
fairs"
After appealing to Republicans to
support the Republican nominees,
Gov. Hadley pointed out in his speech
that the Democrats were pledged to
the same kind of tariff legislation as
they gave to the country after the
Democratic victory Of 1892. He said
that no Republican could associate
himself with those whose efforts tend
ed to insure Democratic success.

MUST VOTE FOR TAFT
Roosevelt, Who Cannot Be Elected,
Says That Wilson's Election Means
Nationwide Disaster,

Col. Roosevelt, the Third Term Can
didate, cannot possibly be elected.
There is no way in which he can car
ry enough states to give him 266 cleo
toral votes.
But by dividing the Republican
party, Col Roosevelt can aid in elect
IN Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic
candidate. Should Wilson be elected?
Roosevelt says that Wilson's election
would plunge this country into nation
wide disaster. Here are Roosevelt's
own words, written in the Outlook of
July, 81, 1912:
IF Dr. Wilson were elected. he
would either have to repudiate the
promises made about the tariff in the
Democratic platform of else brins ev-
cry industry ira the country to crash
which would make all panics in our
past history seem like chiid's play In
comparison. In short, were Dr. Will
son elected on this platform, he would
be obliged at the very outset of his ad-
ministration to face the alternatives
of dishonesty or disaster, the alterna-
tives Of refusing to carry out the ex-
pressed pledges of the platform, or
else Of causing such disaster to ev-
cry worker in the country as would
mean nationwide ruin
AS Roosevelt cannot be elected, and
as Roosevelt says that Wilson's cleo
ton would mean disaster, 1t is a log
ical conclusion that the vote of the
country must be given to President
Taft.

FORAKER SUPPORTS TAFT
Says All Other Candidates Seek to
Destroy Republican Party.

By his physicians orders, former
Senator Foraker has been compelled
to decline the invitation to make
speeches this campaign. Of course,
as a loyal Republican, he is support
ing Taft. For quite while the former
senator was in Maine for his health,
and while there he was keen OBJ
server Of the political situation. He
declares that the result in Maine was
emphatically victory for the policy
of protection. Upon his return home
he gave highly interesting state
ment to the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune from which the following is
excepted:
TT Is the duty, of every Republican
who wants to support the republican
party and Republican principles TO re-
member that there is no way 70 sup
port the party and its principles ex-
cept by supporting President Tart.
Nobody else pretends to represent
the Republican party. Every other
candidate for the presidency Is the
open and avowed enemy OF the Re
publican party. All alike are seeking
its defeat and destruction"

KANSAS IS REPUBLICAN
Roosevelt Strength Among Voters Is
Decreasing Perceptbly Through
out State.

Topeka, Kan, Sept 23.-Notwith-
standing the enthusiasm which has
always existed In Kansas for Theo-
dore Roosevelt, 1t is undeniable that
his strength as a presidential candi-
date Is decidedly waning throughout
the state.
If he were the candidate of the Re-
publican party, and If there were a
chance of his election, he would, of
serious opposition. But neither Of
those conditions exists. The fact that
his own leaders have been obliged to
yield to the wave of indignant pro-
test which swept against them on &C.
count of their effort to have Roose-
velt's electors placed in the Repub-
lican column has not only proven the
has eliminated all possibility of
Roosevelt carrying the state. The
withdrawal of his electors from the
Republican columns has emphasized
the fact that he is not the Republican
candidate; and Kansas is too well
satisfied with the conditions which
have prevailed during the past six
teen years to follow any man, how
ever popular he may be, out of the
Republican party.
The Roosevelt sentiment has been
further weakened by the universal
conviction that there is no possibility
of his election and that the only eff
feet his candidacy can possibly have
Is to expose the country to the dan
ger of a Democratic victory. Kansas
Is as far from being a Democratic
state as it ever was and with the sub
stantial collapse of the Roosevelt cam
paign, this state will be found in its
accustomed place near the head of
the Republican column

CANVASS OF INDIANA
IL Shows That the Roosevelt Move
ment Is Now on the
Decline.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 30-A care
full canvass has been made of the
Roosevelt sentiment in every county
In this state. The inquiry was start
ed by prominent business man Of
this city, who was anxious to learn
for himself the true condition of af-
fairs. He sent out a large number of
letters to men in each of the coun-
ties who were not politicians and
would have no incentive to falsify the
situation. The replies showed that in
every county in the state, with one
exception. there had been a marked
decrease in the Roosevelt sentiment
The opinion was universally ex-
pressed that the Third Term candi-
date had fewer followers now in In
diana than at any time since the cam
paign opened and this number was
steadily decreasing. A few of these
reports summarized are as follows:
White county-"Ours is an agricul-
tural community and the farmers all
seem satisfied with conditions and
are not calling for a change. l see
no evidence OF Bull Mooseism spread
!ls. On tne contrary, 1t is weaker
than at first"
Steuben county-"The Third Term
ers are on the down grade and will
not be as strong a month later as
they are now"
Lake county, Sentiment for the
Progressives is weakened. especially
among the farmers. Sentiment is
growing more and more favorable to
the administration.
Montgomery county-"The Bull
Moose sentiment here is waning. The
Third Term party is losing as the
campaign progresses"
De Kalb county-"Ther will not
be many Bull Moose voters here. Taft
will get some Democratic votes
quite a number"
Miami county-"The changes are
now coming all our way There are
no more assertions from the Repub-
lican ranks"
Tippecanoe county = 'tThe Bull
Moose sentiment is subsiding"
Reports from Allen and La Grange
counties are to the same effect.

SLIDING BACK IN NEVADA
Roosevelt Has Reached His Limit anc
Is Rapidly Receding.

Reno, New, Sept 26-The decline
of the Roosevelt movement, notice
able throughout the country, is very
apparent in Nevada.
THE interest in the Bull Moose
movement is crystallized in Roose-
velt," says the Evening Gazette, land
that interest is waning" The Gazette
further states that Roosevelt's disap-
pointing speech in this state, the fact
that he is receiving funds from
George W. Perkins and is being sup
ported only by CASTOR politicians, are
drag-stones about his neck The Ga
zette sums up the situation In Nevada
as follows:
Roosevelt has reached the limit Of
his power and is sliding back rapidly"

Pseuliaritie, in Formulation.

Five OF the six largest states 10
point Of area--Texas. California, New
Mexico. Montana. Arizona and Me-
yada--have rural populations OF so
per cent and more. The exception Is
California. from so to rs per cent OF
whose people live in urban centsrs.
Not another state west of the Missis-
sippi. except Washington and Colo
RADIO. have more than half as large
urban as rural population. The states
OF immense area. therefore. which
are as yet scarcely populated at all
as compared with their dimensions,
furnish the possible solvent for the
problem Of contested population.
In 1910, the census shows. 4s,34s,-
$50 OF our people were in the rural
districts and 42,s23.3ss in the urban
eenters. This represented an In
crease Of si.s per cent In urban pop
ulation. H. per cent in rural. which
OF course was not encouraging TO our
back to the farm movement. The
only point on which we had to hang
any courage was that more than
100000 yet remained out Of the
cities than went into them. But this
rs considerable when we look at the
wonderful possibilities Of develop
ment in the western empires.
The states OF densest urban popu-
lations are New York. New Jersey,
Delaware. Massachusetts,. Connecticut
and Rhode Island. all Atlantic coast
states. with rs per cent and more Of
urbanites. Next come Washington,
