BATTLE RESUM ED.
Firing Not Heard at Capital and No
Definite Reports.

Constantinople, Nov. 1S.-The battle
was resumed, this morning. and con-
tinued all day long. The firing was not
heard III the city owing to the gale
which blew to the westward.
Correspondents will be permitted to
approach the lines on the Marmora
side. The cannonading seemed much
less in volume than Sunday, but it is
believed there We're more infantry at
tacks.
1t was impossible to ascertain
whether the Bulgarians were making
any progress in taking the lines, but
it was certain from survey of the
several main roads that the Turks
We're not retreating. A military at
tachee of one of the Great Powers
made the statement that the attaches
We're not permitted TO witness much
of the action, but he saw something
of yesterdays artillery duel, in which
he declared, the Bulgarians fired bad
ly. The attaehee expressed the opinion
that the Turks would hold the line
successfully.

The French foreign office has felt
called upon to deny a report that the
visit of Ambassador Jusserand to the
Panama canal and his absence from
the New Years reception at the white
house was due to strained relations
between the French representative
and President Taft. The French for
eign office states that the ambassador
went to Panama at the invitation Of
President Taft and accompanied by
Attorney General Wickersham and de-
clares that the relationship between
the president and Jusserand are the
warmest. This is one Of the evidences
that President Taft's political enemies
are working overtime in an attempt to
discredit him. The presidents dlgn1-
fled attitude in the face of attacks Of
this nature is taken advantage of by
designing politicians, but it is doubt
full if anything will be gained by Taft S
opponents through such methods.

Senator LaFollette missed speaking
to two audiences yesterday by taking
the wrong train out Of Saginaw, put
he saved himself from an embarrassing
position. Governor Osborne Of Mich;
gan had prepared a unique speech
with which he planned to Introduce
the senator to the Lansing audience
As a, rule Introductory speeches are
glowing eulogiesfof the subject to be
introduced, - Speakers called upon for
this duty understand that they are
there for the purpose OF preparing the
audience for the great intellectual
treat they are to receive from the
main speaker of the occasion and Tor
the purpose of. acquainting the audi
ence with the proper idea of the I'M
portance Of the parsonage who is to ad-
dress them. Governor Osborne seems
to have different ideas of what an IN
troductory speech should be. Evident
" he believed he should tell the audi
ence lust what he thought about Sen
atoy LaFollette and he did it. 1t must
be admitted that the governor kne"
his subject well. When the meeting
was postponed and there was to be no
sneaker to introduce, Governor U.s.
borne gave out the article he had pre-
pared in the form Of statment. Then
when the meeting gathered in the hope
that the senator might be able 10
reach Lansing. the governor made MS
speech anyway, explaining that it was
what he would have said If LaFollette
had caught the right train.

mary Of the political contests of the
year Forecasting the political activt-
ties Of the year, the Herald says:
Besides choosing a president the
electorate OF the nation will select new
house Of representatives, which will
have to deal with momentous national
ana international problems, and the
voters of the various commonwealth
will choose thirty one new governors
and legislatures which will have to

presidency will be one of the most titan.
ic struggles in the history of the
present dominant parties and that it
will be marked by campaigns the like
of which have not been known in a
generation. Already the lines are
shaping. The democrats, full of enthu-
siasm and confidence, say that victory
hss already psrched upon their BAN

spots, are preparing for desperate
contest, the result of which, they as

No one within the inner ranks of the
democratic party will make predic-

DEVELOPMENT ~ DRAINAGE.

w. L. Park, the vice president and
general manager Of the Illinois Central
railroad, believes that reclamation by
drainage should be taken up by the
federal government, just as reclama-
ton by irrigation was. In an article
living his views on the subject Mr..
Park says he is strong irrigationist,
but ho feels there are other interests
Of equal or greater Importance to our
national welfare In the conservation
OF our resources, the most important
OF which Is the bringing under sub
jugation the seventy-flve million acres
Of overhowed land.
This land, he says, Is an empire IN
itself, distributed throughout forty Of
our fortyeight states. At present it
adds nothing to material wealth, hut,
on the other hand frequently breeds
pestilence and spreads disease. 1t Is,
he SAYS, the most fertile land on earth,
a contribution from many states OF
their richest top soil, washed down for
ages. These lands he insists, overlap
ping state lines, can only be reclaimed
by the national government.
Mr.. Park holds that it is not pater-
nalism, as some contend to supply
water to the arid lands in the manner
in which it has been done under the
reclamation act; neither is it pater-
nalism to take from our swamp lands
the same water, under the same con-
ditions On the other hand, he says,
It Is the wisest public policy, and he
adds: ~. -.5@ !
1.-THE basis of our prosperity lies
now, and must always remain, in the
soil. Unless we so regard 1t, disaster
Is sure to follow. Drainage as basis
of development is only one of the
many economic problems our govern
ment must take cognizance of. 1t is,
however, the most important at, this
time. -,.... .t.-s.
s'For the past four hundred years we
have reveled in wealth of natural
resources. The public domain has
been so extensive that land could be
had for the asking. This has. not only
taken care of our increase IN popula-
ton, but by its virgin richness has
kept up the general average of produc-
ton per acre Uncle Sam has now but
few farms to give away. He has dis
posed of over six hundred million
acres west of the 95th meridian in the
past hfty years. sts,-,.-. =.
"our population is growing at an
ever increasing ratio-now at the rate
Of over million and a half a year.
Approximately thirty per cent are en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits. This
must in some way be increased from
now on or there will not be sum-
GENTLY to feed the multitude.
"The time is here now when we
must give these questions careful
thought baiting the railroads and
busting the trusts Is fighting the wind
mills-merely symptom that we feel
the pressure of something wrong in
our political economy.
e "Our development by drainage now
holds out the greatest promise for the
reason that such lands when drained
can be irrigated and made to produce
crops continuously-in this way sup
porting dense population. No mat
ter how soon this work is commenced
r. will be none too sOOn."

On the republican side it is gener.

have watched the various moves IN the

even the avowed candidacy OF Theo-
