Spveral travclerx returning from the hills rcMirt that the red men toiut to many iiiilicntiuiw in Nature lo prove' their claims. Notable amoiij; the Mi-eallcd proofs am the follow inu' observations by tin Indians: The leave licunn to fall cail. this month. There are yet jrreen pine burrs on the trees, and thece have not faller. The ripe burrs ate filled with nuts. The beavers in the mountain hee tion are leaving; the beds of the creeks ami are building their homes high up on the banks of the streams. The badgers, which ucuprally stay in the woods diirini; the winters, if they am mild, aio k"iK into the mountain valleys. These and many other sipus, it is claimed, imiut to a hovcio winter. An inevitable tdmi, it is claimed, of early and hard rains, is the 1 light of wild ducks at this season of the year. For several weeks the birds have been Hying southward. It is stated that for this to occur so early in the year is unprecedented. To cinch (ho malter for (ho weath er prophets that a hard winter is on the way, several of the local farmers point to the fact that turkeys which luivo been killed jeecntly all havo a dark colored breastbone. This is an oll superstition which comes from Now Iiuglnml and in which many have great faith. It is claimed that when the Thanks. giving bird has a light colored breast lione mild weather is sure to prevail, hut when that part of tho fowls anatomy takes on a dark hue the opposite is the case, It icmalas to bo seen whether or not the prophets and their forebod ings will como true, or if wo will havo a mild, ladylike winter and fall. In any event, it is up to someone to produce some evidence, that a inihl winter is on its way. T. R.

I Roosevelt and Progressives, He De clares, While PreclafmliHi Thefr Sympathy With the Masses, are Pledged to Keep Up Tariff Says Tariff Is Overwhelming tsette and Protests Against Injwtlflf a Class Issue Inte the Flfht. -; BUFFALO. N. Y., Sept. 2 Flat' charges of falso pretense were aimed against Colonel Roosevelt aai tao progressive party here today by Oaj ernor Woodrow Wilson, demoeratte candidate for the presidency, lu hie first svpeech of the campaign la west ern New York. Wilson definitely charged Uat Roosevelt and the progressives, while proclaiming their sympathy'witt; tJs- masses, are pledged to keep up the tariff and to perpetuate the trusts. Most of his speech was devoted .to Colonel Roosovelt. President Taft was ignored. The gist of Wilson's address was that the tariff Is the overwhelming Issue of the campaign. He protested against Injecting a class Issue lat'o the fight and Insisted that all must look at the campaign from their own view point, examine carefully the plat forms and candidates-and decide for themselves which promleea the great est yield for progreee. In charging that it the democrats get Into power Industry will laaflsfc, wages will he lowered aad employ ment will bo scarce. Wilson said hi constitute hair or the aafloaThat theory are engaged ia all enterprises,, aad that they could not do economic war der without committing suicide. He declared: "All a change means, if the demo crats aro successful, is that there will bo a lower tariff; that many articles will be put on the free list, and that a process will be Bet In motion which will destroy the special privilege now enjoyed by many classes of employers. Forecasts of disaster from republicans If their sacred system ot protection Is touched, are to be expected. Yet the predictions of the new party are as alarming as those of the veriest standpatter. The progressive plat form stimulates hope except as re garding the. tarltr and the trusts. Hero It takes the two sides, two tones. It speaks In warm sympathy with projects for social betterment. nut that la not the nrocram. but rather a direction In which Its lead ors fain would move. Us program lies as to the- tariff and the trusts. In that portion ot the platform there Is no definite Indication ot what Is to be done." Wilson said Roosevelt declared his devotion and adherence to the prin ciple of protection, His only sug gestion for Improvement of the sit uation Is that the employe get more money undor a minimum wage law. Dut the employer, Wilson said, under that law would bo more likely to bring down wages to the fixed mini mum than to make tho Increases hoped for. OUTLAWS PILFER WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.
