LACROSSE Wis, Dec. GA White
Plymouth Rock hen on display at the
Western Wisconsin poultry show and
valued at 5000 last night was worth

one of the judges. The hen belongs
to l.. G. Danville of Montfort.
When Keller vas about to examine
the bird, the most valuable in the show

subsequently, increased the bid to S4O0

To Protect Desert Entrymen.

A Washington press dispatch says
Congressman Pray has taken up with
the interior department the question
of rights of entrymen who initiated en-
tries under the desert land act three
and four years ago and are now plan.
ming to make final proof and whose
rights are thought to be jeopardized
by reason of the fact that the lands
adjoining those they entered have been
taken up subsequently under the
homestead act and are being Guilt
waited.
There are many such entries now
pending in Montana, and fear pre-
walls among the desert land entrymen
that the department intends to hold
their entries for cancellation on the
ground that their lands are not OF
desert character, since the adjoining
lands are being guilty ated and pro-
duce crops. Pray contends that mas
much as the lands were believed to be
desert, filings were made and, mas
much as the department accepted pay
ments and filings under the desert
law, it cannot cancel entries where en-.
trymen have shown full compliance
with the desert land act.
The secretary Of the interior has no,
| yet rendered a decision on this ques'
ton, but Pray 10 anxious to presen,
the side of the desert entrymen before

laF oIiette's Position.

In a signed editorial in his weekly
magazine, just out at Madison, Wis,
Senator Robert M. LaFollette makes
a plea to progressive Republicans to
sacrifice everything to maintain the
progressive organization within the
Republican party. The senator makes
no suggestion as to which of the presi-
Dental candidates deserves the sup
port of this wing of the party. He de-
votes nearly half Of the editorial to
show that Roosevelt is not the real
progressive that is needed for presi-
dent. He mentions Taft, and that in
the same paragraph with Roosevelt,
saying that neither he nor Roosevelt
helped the progressive cause while in
the White House. Of Gov. Wilson he
says the election of a Democrat would
carry small assurance of the advance
ment of the progressive cause.
LaFollette says: I'm no partisan
spirit l repeat that the progressive
movement began with the Republican
party. 1t rapidly advanced its control,
shaping the policies Of state admins
trations and stamping its impression
on national legislation as distinctly
Republican movement. and upon this
fact in recent political history ap,
peal to progressive Republicans every
where to maintain their progressivism
within the Republican party"
After the statement that Roosevelt,
while president, was openly on the side
of the reactionaries, the senator con
tinues: mot until about five months
ago did Col. Roosevelt make his So
called declaration of principles But
ignoring issues, he lured the President
into a campaign 80 bitterly personal
that by the time of the Chicago conven
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1912-08-09

definite policy that can be fairly attrio-
uted TO that class of statesmen and re-
formers whose absorption and control
the Republican party escaped at Chica'
20 and the Democratic party yielded to
at Baltimore.
This occasion is appropriate for the
EXPRESSION of profound gratitude at the
victory for right which was won at
Chicago.
Demsgogues have seizsd the oppor-
tunity to influence the public mind and
have sough to turn the peculiar condi-
tions to their advantage.
New parties are being formed with
the proposed purpose of satisfying this
unrest by promising panaces. In the
ultimate analysis, fear, the equal OPP
portunity which those seek who pro
claim the coming of so.called social
Justice involves a forced division OF
property, and that means socialism.
The truth is, my friends, both those
who have left the Republican party I'M
der the inspiration of their present lead
er, and our old opponents, the Demo
Gratis, under their candidate, are going
in direction they do not defnitel,
know, toward an end they do not definite
ly describe, with but one chief and cleal
object, and that is of acquiring power
for their party by popular support
through the promise of change for TIT
| better.
