Washington, April 4.-The
food situation along the Mississ-

rious hourly.
President Taft today ordered
the quarter master general of the
army to supply rations to all per-
sons driven from their hons by
the rising waters.
This action was taken because
kilograms received here indicate
that between ten and twelve
thousand people in the valley
towns are suffering from want of
food, and because the House
Ways and Means Committee to-
day decided to postpone the ap-
preparation of $250,O00 to feed
the suffering.
"The committee hopes that the
waters may subside by tomor-

Two Houses Are Getting
Together

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8
The compromise wool bill, agreed
to by the House and Senate, repas.
sed the House today, and will he
taken up in the Senate at noon Mon
day. Senator La Toilette gave no.
tice he would call it up that time
and ask for immediate action upon
the conference report in which the
two Houses agreed to a wool tariff
on raw wool duty Of % per cent.
The Senate acceded to the Demo-
ratio. Progressive demand that the
Canadian reciprocit ylrepeal amend
ment be dropped from the iron and
steel tariff bill. This action resulted
in the repassage of the bill in the
Senate; and the measure is now on
its way to the President.
Conferences will be held early
next week on the excise tax bill and
the sugar tariff bill. On the former
an agreement exists between the
Senate Democrats and insurgents to
endorse the repeal Of all of the Can
adian reciprocity law except the free
print paper provision now in force
1t is expected the House will meet
this plan and adopt a compromise
bill with out delay.

BULL MOOSE PARTY

Last Thursday at Corbin a
mum Der of delegates from sever
al counties of the Eleventh Con-
gressional met and completed
their organization of Third or
Progressive Party. This move
ment has been on foot since the
Chicago convention in July and
Thursdays meeting completed
the organization. At this con
vention delegates were elected
to attend the National Conven-
ton at Chicago which was held
Monday of this week, and a can
didate was nominated TO oppose
Hon. Caleb Powers for his re-
election to Congress.
Since the Republican conven-
tion the Advocate has taken but
little hand in the political argu-
ments arising over the leaders
of the Republican and the So
called Progressive Party, having
friends on both sides, and al
though we have always been
straight out Republican we have
respected the views and convic-
tions of the Roosevelt followers.
Among these were good honest
men who claim that they could
not support President Taft for
reelection owing to the circum-
stances and conditions that exist
ed at the Chicago Convention.
So far, so good, but what about
the nomination of Caleb Pow
ers? Was there ever any ques-
tion regarding the fairness in
which he procured the nomina-
tion? There was not, nor will
the most radical Progressive
make such claim, and yet they
meet in body at COrbin and
repudiate his nomination and put
out a candidate to. oppose him.
Yet these men claim to be Pro-
gressive Repu blicans. No man
who pretends to be a Republi-
can could concienciOusly bolt the
Republican nominee who was
nominated without opposition
and still hold to such claim.
Therefore we shall feel no hest
fancy in lending our entire sup
port to the Republican ticket
and opposing any Third or Pro.
gressive party, feeling as we do
that the main purpose of the or
ganization of this party was not
for supporting a third Presiden-
tial candidate but was for the
purpose of trying to defeat the
regular Republican nominee in
the 18th Congressional District.
