ANOTHER RECORD-SMASIUNQ
STOOK SHOW AT HAND
Once moro the International Live
Stock Exposition, which will be held
in Chicago from November 27 to
December 10, has accomplished thd
seemingly impossible by again show
ing a most phenomenal Increase in
entries. Once moro all past records
have been demolished and once moro
we are brought to realize that inter
est is growing in this the greatest
of live stock shows this leading ex
ponent of tho live stock industry
and that this great annual event is
becoming more popular from year to
year. Even though foediner onnrn.
tlons havo been exceedlnn-lv Hirhf
during the past yeaT, wo still find
an increased number of entries in
the cattlo department. The draft
horse exhibit will be the greatest
ever seen in this or any other coun
try. Horses, whose lineage dates
back into the dark ages, will be seen
m tne ring beside tho moat standi!
specimens of tho English and Scot
tish types, whose equals have never
before been brought together in such
numbers in the history of the show
ring. The number of exhibitors in
the sheep department exceeds that
of any previous year, and in quality
their exhibits will far surpass any
thing ever seen In the past, as tho
entries show them to contain some
of the choicest ixaportations made to
this country in recent years. In the
swine department all the leading
types will again bo represented and
the quality will be superior to that
of any show ever seen on this con
tinent. All these and many other
new features give promise of making
the coming exposition the greatest in
the history of this splendid series of
events, and no one, be he ever so
distantly connected with live stock
the right arm of our basic industry,
agriculture can afford to miss this
exceptional opportunity for educa
tion, entertainment and a pleasure
trip in one. Ex.
plan to get into tho nockoin nf tt.n
consumers and further enrich tho al
ready monstrously rich public high
waymen. Of courso tho American
merchant marine has been driven
from tho seas. But thiB fact Is not
uuu o mo lack or subsidies. It Is
duo to our merchant marine laws.
It is duo to the stupid policy of tho
republican party. Iieforo the repub
lican party came into being tho
American merchant marine wan tho
finest in tho world. American ships
.predominated everywhere. It was
not until tho republican party, in its
program of protection, enacted laws
providing that the American flag
should not float from ships built In
foreign countries that the American
merchant marine wnn nut nut nt
business. And it can nnvnr hn re
vived until those senseless laws are
repealed. Ship subsidies can not re
vive it. Ship subsidies aro only
means to perpetuate tho thieving
tariff.
There is an onormnnn nmmmt r
American capital Invested In freight-
carrying vessels. But R is Invested
In foreign-built ships. It Is Invest
ed In forclgn-bullt ships because,
owing to tho protective tariff, ships
can not bo constructed In Amorica
as cheaply an they can bo construct
ed abroad. This is tho whole secret
of the condition of tho American
merchant marine. Tho lumber trust,
with its swag of protection, stands
..ith u wny of li' Tno fltco1 trust,
with Its power to oxtort, stnnds In
tho way of It. Tho went Is aware of
this and Mr. Taft can not fool tho
wof.V - H. mfty ta,k Bh,I aulJBtdiofl
Until ho is black In thn fnn Uf u
will talk for thorn in vain. Tho tariff
hogs havo got to let go, and out of
tho west will come senators and con
gressmen who will forco them to lot
go. Tho war Is on in earnest.

THE PRESIDENT IS FOR SHIP
SUBSIDY
As if to shalce a red flag in tho
face of an enraged bull, President
Taft has announced in the west that
he will urge the next congress to
pass a bill providing for ship sub
sidies. It will be useless for him
to do so. Taft has lost the confi
dence of the west, and any sugges
tions coming from him now will be
regarded with distrust. He has Im
measurably hurt himself and his
party by telling the people beyond
the Mississippi that Aldrich is a
great and good man and he has hurt
himself and his party still moro by
defending the recent taHff legisla
tion. As one of our exchanges very
pointedly remarks, if the things for
which President Taft stands for ln
the future are as good as the things
he has stood for and approved since
his inauguration, then God help the
country!
The ship subsidy scheme is simply
another plan to rob an already
plundered people. It is another
