Does President Taft Deserve the
Praises Heaped on Him by 4
Woodrow Wilson?


Constitution praising Wilson for praising
Taft
If Mr.. Taft is such a good honest man,
why should he not be given the customary
second term?
If he hasn't done anything to be turned out
for, why turn him out?
It seems to me that the tactics of Wilson
and the Constitution are calculated to re-elect
Taft
Was Mr. Taft "honest'' when he put Dick
Ballinger in the Cabinet?
Was Mr.. Taft "honest," when he ousted
Louis CLAWS and Clifford Pinchot who we're
trying to block the game Of the Morgan Gug-
genheim syndicate?
Was Mr. Taft "honest," when he officially
reported to Congress that he based his opin-
ion en- faU0r Of BaZ1anger, on paper that was
not in eXistenceg
1t has recently been decided by the Interior
Department that the claims which CLAWS
and Pinchot attacked as fraudulent, are frau
dulent; and those claims-the Cunning cham
entries been cancelled.
Ballinger had hand in the preparation of
those fraudulent Claims and Mr. Taft hzea0 1t.
CLAWS and Pinchot braved the President
braved Ballinger, and braved the Morgan
Guggenheim syndicate, saving to our public
Alaska.
Morgan's own expert testified that these
lands were worth hundreds Of millions Of
dollars.
Morgan and Guggenheim had secured them
for trlfe.
Does anybody praise CLAWS and Pinchot?
| haven't heard of it.
But here is the Democratic nominee. and a
leading Democratic paper heaping praises on
the "honest" President who bent all the power
of his office to the noble task Of crushing the
two faithful officers that were exposing the
would-be robbers
Was Mr.. Taft "honest" when he gave his
word that he would favor downward revi-
sion of the Tariff?
Was he honest, when he said the Payne
Aldrich law was the best tariff this country
ever had!
Was he honest when he praised Aldrich,
and described him as friend of the people
Was Mr.. Taft honest when he allowed the
choicest of the friar lands, in the Philip
pines, to be sold to the Sugar Trust of oohich
his brother Is attorney?
Mr. Taft heard the witnesses testify to the
illiteracy, the immortality, and the almost
uncomfortable depravities of Roman Catho-
lie domination in those Islands.
Mr. Taft heard the arracontradicted eai-
demce, that the friars and priests claimed the
right TO OCCUPY THE BRIDAL BED,
on the first night after the marriage.
Mr.. Taft heard the uncontradicted evil
dence that on account of this claim of the
priests and friars, many of the natives chose
to live in concubinage, rather than submit to
having the priest perform the ceremony and
then bed with the wife the first night.
Mr.. Taft submitted report of that horri-
bic testimony to President Mckinley, and
Mckinley sent it to Congress. ct is Senate

Il Seems That Woodrow Wilson
Still Has tEae Jesuit Secretary.

9 ONE weeks ago it was reported in the
- papers that Woodrow Wilson had dis
charged Joseph Tumulty, his private secre-
tary.
According to letter dated Sept. 8, 1912,
and signed by Tumulty, he was still acting
as Gov. Wilson'S secretary on that date
Apparently, he was never discharged at
all.
| can't explain how the statement got cir
culated.
It is disquieting to see Jesuit enjoying the
confidence of the Democratic candidate
No man who takes the Jesuit oath can be
a loyal American citizen.

July 1912, President Taft approved an
J Act of Congress which makes it crimos-
nal ofemse for people to refuse to tell about
their p1>ivate business
/ read the newspapers carefully and not a
line did [ see about that bill.
It was slipped through Congress, without
newspaper notoriety
It was never intended by the makers of the
Constitution that the census Of population
should be stretched and stretched, until the
Federal Government should become q u1a5-

There were no penal clauses in the ginners'-

they be ignored.

omission supplied.

UNDERGROUND WATERS
OF VITAL NECESSITY

The Importance Of underground
waters to residents in humid sec
tons is illustrated by the fact that
70 per cent is Of the underground
supply. Another investigation Of
10 counties in north-central lndi-
ana indicates the vital relation that
ground water bears to everyday
life. OF 81 communities in these
10 counties having public supplies,
20 use wells alone and 3 others use
both streams and wells. The urban
population is therefore largely de-
pendent upon the subsurface sup
plies, the rural population depends
almost entirely upon them. u. s

Catching the Idea

Every few days you hear that
Mr.. Blank has cut his farm up into
small tracts and is going to put it
on the market. What is the reason
for this? Well, Mr.. Blank has found
that he has many times as much
land as he can farm-he is used to
rain-farming where they can raise a
little on lot Of land, here We raise
lot on little land. hence the d.
vision of the big farm.
The Deming country is bound to
be- community Of small farms, why
not get you a small one on the start?
We have several left. adjoining the
townsite. that for soil. water and
method of payment are real bar
gains.
This land is always going to bring
a good round price. because Of its
location.
For suburban home these farms
are great; for a money-maker they
are hard to beat; for investment,
they cannot be beaten. Home Plot

Keeping Books on the Farm

year after year the net pront from
growing and selling crops is high or
low.
The accurate valuation of the soil
is a matter of the utmost import
ance.
Every crop has its water, light
and heat requirements. No matter
how good the soil may be. If the
natural factors fail il is of little or
no value.
The fundamental soil elements are
sand, humus. clay and lime, and as
one or the other Of these compo-
nents predominates the soil is called
sand soil, humus soil, clay soil, lime
soil.
The value of soil varies with the
thickness of the soil layer. the very
shallow being the least valuable.
The depth is important, for it is
easier for the crop to get its food
when feeding in soil layer twelve
inches deep than when feeding in
one four inches deep. The thick
ness is classed as follows: six inches.
very shallow; six to twelve inches,
shallow: twelve to twenty-four inch
es. medium deep; twenty.four to
forty-eight inches, deep.
The condition Of the subsoil is
very important. Nonporous subsoil
under heavy close soil is very bad,
as is porous subsoi under sand.
Heavy soil underlaid with porous
subsoil and sandy soil underlaid with
non-porous subsoil. is the wished-for
combination.
1t is not possible to secure the
maximum net profit when even few
weeds are present. and when they
increase to great numbers the soil
car easily become valueless and be
the source of a deficit.
The manurial condition. or the
soil fitness. greatly increase or di-
minish the soll value.
Crops grown must tit both soil
and climate. otherwise the net profit
easily becomes loss.
Crops have preference for soils
and when these preferences are rec
ognized and INDUCED. other things
being equal, the crops produce most.
And lastly. accurate knowledge
must be at hand concerning the
local yield of crops, and this calls
Tor bookkeeping.
The following data is based upon
high efficiency farming:
On the farm of forty acres with
systematic farming come nine acres
Of grassland, producing thirty-siX
tons Of hay: ten acres of wheat, pro-
ducing 800 bushels; ten acres Of oats
producing 1000 bushels, and ten
acres Of potatoes. producing 2,0W
bushels.
When provided with the necessary
live stock To work over the waste
, materials. it is easy with the above
data in connection with the curren,
market reports -t to figure the actual
value Of the soil on the basis OF
present crop yields. BY deductinp
the general overhead expense Of run
ming the farm. the net profit is ascer
tanned, which, capitalized at money
rates, gives the value of the soil. K,

ROUNDUP DAY.

Every rural school in Kansas is ex-
pected to celebrate Roundup Day."
November 10. C. D. Steiner, superin-
tendent of boys and girls clubs
work in the extension department CT
the Kansas Agricultural College, has
asked that the afternoon Of this day
be set apart for a general roundup
of boys and girls in the country who
will agree to enter some of the many
contests planned for them next year.
E. T. Fairchild. state superintendent,
approves of the plan for Roundup
Day" and has asked the teachers to
cooperate with Mr.. Steiner in max
ing it justly successful.
For the afternoon of Roundup
Day" a display of agricultural pro
ducts by the boys, and of domestic
Ihandiwork by the girls is to be made
in the schoolhouse. There will also
be contests in judging corn and bread
and a literary program of appropria-
ate topics for the day-topics pertain
ing to better agriculture and better
housekeeping. The will be followed
! by an explanation by the teacher Of
the contests and Of the boys and
girls clubs. Every pupil will be ask
ed to enter his name in one or more
of the contests. Where it is desired,
clubs for boys and girls interested in
the contest work will be organized.
Teachers in the smaller rural schools
have been urged to unite with some
other nearby school in the observance
of Roundup Day"
When three or more boys or girls
who are interested in some special
line of work wish to form a perma-
nent organization, and have regular
meetings just like grown people do,
Mr.. Steiner urges the organization Of
a club. He suggests these: Corn
Club, Potato Club, Tomato Club, Fan
lily Garden Club, Flower Garden Club
Pig Club, Poultry Club. In addition
to these. he suggests agricultural
clubs, manual training clubs, and ru
raj life clubs. Mr.. Steiner will gladly
help any boys or girls organize a clu
by sending them instructions, a form
: Of constitution, and membership
blanks.
u Country boys and girls, and boy!
and girls in towns, too, will find tha

TO- THE NEWSPAPERS OF KAN
SAS.

A statement has been published in
various Kansas newspapers purport-
sing to be from the Omaha Bee. The
statement in question is under the
date line of Omaha, Nebraska, and
pretehds that Senator. Hoke Smith,
of Georgia, some days ago wrote to
Governor Wilson, asking him how he
stood on the pension question. The
statement purpOrts to set out Cover
nor Wilson's reply in the following
language
'Will say in answer to your inquiry
as to pensions that l am very much
opposed to the great expense in the
increase of pensions. l am not in
favor of anyone drawing a pension
who is. financially able to take care
Of himself. | am in favor of all Old
e Soldiers who are not able to work
and have not means to take care Of
themselves, being sent to the Sol
diers Home in the state in which
they live l think that all of those
who are able to take care of them.

penses of the government down t.
the lowest notch. AS to the confed
crate soldiers, l am in favor of each
stare passing a bill to pension all Oh
