Woodrow Wilson may thank Theo

Fur Farming by Uncle Sam.
The Department of Agriculture at
Washington is said to add another to
its long list of activities. It is about
to start a great reservation in Idaho
for the purpose of raising fur-bearing
animals for profit. That is an excel
lent place in which to begin the ex
periment. Idaho has an abundance of
room more room than people and
a remnant of a few of the more im
portant fur-producing animals are still
in its wild spaces. It has an average
of only four inhabitants to the square
mile.
This will not be altogether an ex
periment, for there are a few private
fur farms in the wilds of the United
States and Canada. Uncle Sam's how
ever will be on a far larger scale than
any of these, and will be conducted on
scientific lines. In some of the pri
vate inclosures not, only are mink and
marten raised, but foxes of all varie
ties, which are far more difficult of
cultivation, are produced. For years
fox raising was a failure, but methods
have been evolved by which it can be
carried on successfully. The skins of
foxes of the black and silver breeds
bring from $300 to $2000 a pelt, which
means a large profit to the producer
who is able to raise any amount of
them. The government is to start
with mink and marten, both of which
are moderately plentiful in some parts
of Idaho in a wild state, and it it grad
ually extend its ''plant" until it covers
beaver, fox and the other more valua
ble kinds of animals.
As the demand for furs is increas
ing far faster than the population,
while the supply of the more valuable
sorts is declining, the government's
aim in its Idaho enterprise is to pre
vent the supply from dying out, and
also, by scientific cultivaton, to give
"points" to private producers which
will enable them to enlarge their field
of operations., The quantity of turs
which reach the markets of the Unit
ed States every year is increasing,
but this means the least valuable of
them the muskrat, the skunk and
other sorts of furs which are found
comparatively near the centers of population.
Did We Build Panama
Canal For Benefit of
Other Countries?
By CHARLES H. SHERRILL, Former Minister to Argentina
SUPPOSE for a moment that war should break out between
England and Germany. What manufacturer in the United
States would trust his goods on a ship of either nation ?
Seventy-five per cent of our trade is carried in English and
German bottoms. The result of a war would be that our foreign
trade, for which the American manufacturers have been working and
which is increasing with gratifying rapidity, would RECEIVE A
SHOCK UNPARALLELED IN ITS HISTORY.
Your goods would remain upon our docks, and the effect of this
sudden check upon our manufactures would be felt not only by the
manufacturers, but in the farthest corner of our country and in the
most remote farmhouse.
In the beginning of our republic our wise forefathers lent to our
merchant marine such legislative assistance as ENABLED US TO
BUILD UP SUCH A FLEET AS NOT ONLY TO BE AMONG
THE LEADERS UPON THE HIGH SEAS, but also when there
came the clouds of battle to win for us the war of 1812. So suc
cessful did our seamen become that no less a man than James
Buchanan stated in Washington that governmental assistance was no
longer necessary to retain our supremacy upon the high seas. As
soon as this governmental assistance was withdrawn our supremacy
began to slip away from us.
TODAY WE ARE THE LAUGHINGSTOCK OF THE WORLD, BE
CAUSE AFTER BUILDING THE PANAMA CANAL AT A COST OF
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WE ARE LISTENING TO
THE SOPHISTRY OF THOSE WHO WOULD DEPRIVE U8 OF ANY
RETURN FROM OUR ENTERPRISE. I KNOW THAT IN EUROPE
STATESMEN AND MERCHANTS ARE AMUSED AT THE SPECTACLE
OF THE UNITED STATES BUILDING A CANAL FOR THEIR BENEFIT.
WOODROW WILSON.
The Morning and Weekly Enterprise
advocated the election of William
Howard Taft because they believed
he had made a good president, and,
if returned to the White House for
four more years, would be of even
greater service. We still believe Mr.
Taft deserved to wear the toga for a
second term, but the people have spok
en at .the polls, and Mr. Taft has
gone down in defeat. Woodrow Wilson
is the choice of the electorate of the
United States, and the Enterprise has
not a word to say against him. In
fact this paper has a''ays respected
Mr. Wilson's ability, commended his
achievements and honored him as a
man. We congraulate Mr. Wilson
upon his election to the highest office
in the gift of the people, and wish him
a successful administration. If the
Democrats had to win the country is
fortunate that they named as their
standard-bearer a man of such fine
attainments and such superlative abil
ities as Governor Wilson.
Mr. Taft's service to his country
will be more appreciated in years to
come than it was at the polls Tues
day.
John Sctirank, the Man Who
Shot Theodore Roosevelt
JIM SAVAGE A WONDER ONE
NIGHT; QUITS THE NEXT.
Jim Savage, a heavyweight
pugilist, who works out of Or
ange, N. J., submitted proof re
cently that all fighters who
bandy gloves are not game. Sav
age quit to Gunboat Smith at a
New York club in three rounds.
A few weeks previous he had
knocked out Tom Kennedy in a
fight that showed Savage as a
master boxer and a wonder of a
lighter. Occasionally Savage dis
plays wonderful form. Other
times he will seek a soft spot on
the slightest provocation.
Sailor Burke and Frank Moran
are of the same type as Savage,
only they cannot fight as well
as Savage when the latter is on
a good streak.
BIG CUE TOURNEY NOV. 11.
Much Money Will Be Hung Up For
18.2 Balk Line Masters.
Announcement has been made that
the tournament to revive the world's
billiard championship at 18.2 will start
Nov. 11 in New York. Each player must
pay an entrance fee of $250. In addi
tion to the championship trophy there
will be $3,000 in prize money, to which
will be added the entrance fee and the
net gate receipts.
The winner will receive 40 per cent
of this total and the next three con
testants will receive, respectively, 30,
20 and 10 per cent. All ties must be
played off.
Each game will consist of 500 points,
subject to the playing rules at present
governing this style of game. The win
ner of the emblem will be required to
defend the title subject to the rules
governing the championship.
Hoppe. Morningstar, Sutton, Cline,
Demurest, Slosson and Cutler are prob
able entries from this country, and it
is hoped that Cassignol, the French
player, will compete. Yamada, a Jap
anese player, also may enter.
There is also a possibility that Clar
ence Jackson of Chicago may try for
the title. This protege of the veteran
Thomas Foley has rounded into a great
player since he left the amateurs some
years since.
Weather Forecasting.
Temperature is but one of the ele
ments of the weather. Considered by
itself its evidence is valueless. The
chief factor in forecasting impending
conditions of weather is the pressure
of the air as recorded by the barom
eter. To this prime record the read
ing of the thermometer and the con
dition of the wind are contributory,
but always secondary. As the winds
fall from all directions into the trough
of low barometric pressure the tem
perature tends to fall, wlen the center
of the low passes south of the observa
tion point, and to rise when the low
passes northward and thus admits the
air from the warmer south. New York

p j HIS is John Schrank, the man who shot ex-President Theodore Roose
velt, photographed shortly after his arrest at Milwaukee. He said
B he was born in Bavaria thirty-six years ago and had lived in America
twenty-five years, being most of that time in the liquor business in
New York. He claimed he was informed in a dream by President McKinley
that Colonel Roosevelt was MeKinley's real assassin. He also asserted he
shot Roosevelt because the colonel was called the "third termer," and he
didn't want Roosevelt elected again. The man was apparently crazy ovet

MAGNANIMITY.
Magnanimity is never coupled
with weakness. The large soul that
embraces all mankind in love and
syiiijMthy, that is tender, compas
sionate and generous, is also strong,
resolute and firm whenever princi

There is no cruelty like that of weak
ness, no power or courage or energy
like that of true magnanimity. Be
magnanimous..
