There are two elements of human
nature acting for control in all gov

of kings; the aristocracy Of re-

wealth or education.

New York. chairman of the recent
national convention, acting as spokes-
man, President Taft was formally no.
titled here today of his nomination at
Chicago. In his reply, which exceed
ed 1000 words, Taft formally accepted
the nomination.
TOday'S ceremony was in the East
room of the White House. The noti-
fication committee was composed of
one representative from each state.
Root in his speech laid stress on the
assertion that Taft's title to the nom-
ination is absolutely clear
Taft, in reply, said demagogues had
seized the opportunity to inflame the
public mind and turn the peculiar con
ditions TO their own advantage. He
asserted his administration has done
all possible for the improvement of
the educational system and the better
ment of laws to ensure quick admins
tratiOn of justice, to lessen the in
iquity of conditions. He said the
propaganda promising to minimize the
conditions where the poor will be
made rich and the rich reasonably
poor by law was a vision Of the i'm
possible. He said Republicans who
left the party and the Democrats are
going in a direction they don't definite

DARRoW DEVELOPMENTS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1.-Resuming z
the attempt to show that Darrow was
willing to spend 500 in the McNa-
mara defense, even after Franklin was
arrested for jury bribing and author
lied Leo NJ. Rappapart of indianapolis
to expend that amount to remain for
the Mcnamara evidence the day after
Franklin was taken into custody, and
that therefore the bribery and nothing
else was responsible for closing the
dynamite case, District Attorney Ford
continued the cross examination Of
Darrow today.
Ford's cross examination was Sc
we're. Darrow flushed angrily at sew
eral decisions. Darrow denied knowl-
edge of Franklin using money to in
fiuence jurors. He admitted that he
gave instructions to some one in his
office to telegraph to Rappaport the
day after Franklin's arrest, giving
permission to Rappaport to spend
800 to obtain the Mcnamara evil
dence, despite the defense's assertion
that the Mcnamara case had already
reached an end through agreement on
both sides. He also admitted teIe-
graphing to Rappaport the day after
the McNamaras pleaded guilty, telling
him not to spend the money. Ford
laid stress on Darrow's admission that
he had not asked Sam Browne county
detective, what he arrested Franklin
for When he happened on the scene of
arrest. and had failed to inquire for
Franklin at the county Jail immediate
ly after the arrest.

base, or any acquisition of territory
which might be used for such pur-

as preliminary formality, but when

A firm statement by the United

shown that a Japanese syndicate had
been negotiating for 100000 acres of
land along the west coast of Lower
California in Mexico. While the Jap

had no connection with the syndicate
the senate subcommittee, consisting
OF Senators Lodge, Root, Hitchcock,
Rayner and Sutherland, reported to

ably will be adopted, declares that the

With 20,000 acres OF alfalfa in the

there is wide complaint OF scarcity of
alfalfa farms for rent 70 dairymen,
and 50 great is the demand that there

A few years ago the alfalfa acreage
ran ahead OF the demand and a good
many acres were plowed up, thus
greatly enriching the soil. But the
amount of livestock in the valley in
creased steadily, and now the demand
for rental alfalfa is away ahead Of
the supply.
This condition will probably tend to
restrict the importation Of dairy stock,
but the natural increase in dairy
COWS reaches about 35 per cent, and
the dairymen are taking full advant
