"In Oklahoma there is bitter fight
in the democratic party between the

believed to be more destructive in that

Organs plurality in Nevada in 1908
was less than 800. It is a mining state
and the farmers are extensively en-
gagged in raising sheep. It Is argued
that the attitude Of the democratic

wool and minerals has swept away the
democratic majority, and will place It
safely in the republican column. Ne

which is even more profitable to that
state than mining"
. Mr.. Hilles adds that from pre-
liminary survey Of the country it would
appear that the third term party will
not draw more heavily from the repub-
licans than from the democrats. This,
he says, is the report from many

TIE WOOL VETO.

1T has been privately stated by many
members of the house and senate that
it was not expected that congress
would pass the wool bill over the presi-
dents veto. The measure SO com.
pletely ignored the tariff board report
on the wool schedule and threatened
the interests of the farmer, the wool
manufacturer and the workers IN TINS
industry to the extent that 1t was
known congress would not approve IL.
If the democrats can get any cam
paign material out of this affair they
are welcome to It. In the first place
radical reductions were made with no
intention that they should De lncor.
porated into law. The president was
expected to veto the bill. The house
passed it over the veto with the firm
conviction that the senate would
sustain the presidents veto. The demo
cratic majority In the house clearly
proved their insincerity by this action.
President Taft in his message return
ing the bill declared that he was IN
favor of a reduction Of the wool sched.
ule based on the report OF the tariff
board. Such measure had been pre-
pared in the senate and he was ready
to approve this bill If adopted by the
house. It provided substantial re-
duction of the wool tariff, but a reduc'
tion that preserved the protective
principle and that could be brought
about without violent injury to the
wool growers and manufacturers. By
refusing to accept the reductions pro-
,ided, by the senate bill the house has
shown that it was more interested IN
securing the doubtful campaign argu'
ment 1t can twist from the president g
veto than in securing any reduction IN
the wool schedule.

Dollar Street Paving.

Clinton Herald: The city council
has just let the contract for a small
amount of concrete street paving
which will cost the abutting property
owners 81 square yard. Few con.
tracts have ever been let in the state
at a lower figure and the members OF
the council are delighted.
In ordering the paving Of a
street with concrete the city is en-
tering upon an experiment that will
be watched with a great deal OF in
terest II the pavement proves as
good, or substantially as good, as
pavements constructed of other ma
terials, it will be possible to save the
property owners of the city q vast
amount in the future work which will
be done and which also will make it
possible to take up the Improvement
Of many streets at a much earlier date
than might otherwise be possible.
Pavements that cost all the way
from 50 to SO a square yard place
upon many property owners bur-
den which they can Ill afford to
carry. But pavements at 81 yard
bring a reduction in the price of
needed improvements against which
there will be little disposition to
complain by any Should the con-
crete pavement prove satisfactory,
there is every probability that
there will be an early demand for
a large amount of it in this city.
