MIAMI. T M McGuire... ! | “Taft Is Tyrant,” Shouts California Governor. Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 25.—Gov. Hiram W. Johnson, a Republican, | |called Taft a tyrant last night when he addressed an audience of 4,000 in the Long Beach Auditorium. There (were arguments and words of wis- ;dom, too, but it was his caustic words | that caused storms of applause. Working quietly on lines of peace- ful, friendly rhetoric, he soothed his hearers to the belief that only the hackneyed criticism against the South- ern Pacific and kindred political bo- gies would be made. Then, suddenly hurling aside par- ty lines and past political affinities and affiliations, the Governor attacked President Taft, and said it was time _ his rule should cease. “When the time comes,” Gov. | Johnson shouted, ‘‘that any man feels he has the power to say toa state that it shall not govern itself, then it is \time for the power of that man to be , halted. It is the people’s right and the people’s duty to call that halt. “The words of any man, be he _ na- tional executive, state executive or | whatever he may be, are entitled to jonly so much consideration and | weight as your reason will permit {you to endow them with. And if, ‘after we have listened to them and considered them, we find that they ‘do not measure up, we are entitled to | reject them, just the same as though \they were the words of any other | citizen of our country.” | W.

HARSHAW’S DISPERSION SALE. A. J. Erhart, of Adrian, Gets Famous BATES SPENDING $444,000, Reclamation Work. That Bates county’s enterprise’ and progressiveness in reclaiming her waste lands is bringing her into the lime light as one of the foremost agri- cultural counties in the state is evi- Missouri Ruralist: © “Think of cutting almost 50 miles of a winding river channel out of one county, and the improvement and ad- dition of good land such a change is likely to work. That is just what they are doing in Bates county, Mo., and it is said that 39,000 acres (some- thing like $3,000,000 worth of land) has been made much more useful than it was;-and some of it reclaimed from absolute uselessness. “Four hundred and forty-four thou- sand is the money Bates county is spending on this work of straighten- ing and deepening the Marias des Cygnes river.. The state auditor has registered $171,000 of bonds issued by the county for this purpose and a bond issue of $273,000 had previ- ously been made. The river was 73 miles in its course through Bates county. That has been shortened to 23 1-2 miles. The new bond issue will insure a depth of 22 feet with a width of from 60 to 80 feet and re- claim many thousands of acres of rich land. : “Bates county has suffered a great deal from overflows of this stream, but it is estimated that the 39,000 acres have been saved from overflow the past year at a cost per acre of about $11, which will be paid on the installment plan. The deepest the ditch is is 26 feet. At its widest point it is 90 feet at the bottom and 135 feet at the top. A great ledge of rock at the eastern terminus is now being blasted out to widen the channel. “The ditch was excavated by a big dredge. Two smaller dredges were employed in cutting laterals totaling 11 miles in length. The main chan- nel will be spanned by bridges every two miles, which will cost. $3,200 each. Many of these already are completed. ’” British Cruiser Rams’ Olympic: No One Injured. Southampton, England, Sept. 20.— The great steamship Olympic of the White Star Line, which left Southamp- ton shortly before noon today crowd- ed with returning American tourists, lies tonight off Calshot Castle, at the “Missouri Herd.” China hogs was held in this city Tues- day, September 26, 1911. In spite of the fact that Mr. Har- shaw was handicapped for time in|: advertising his final sale, a good crowd of enthusiastic hog men were present in the hopes of getting all or a part of the well known ‘Missouri Herd.” The “Missouri Herd” consisting of such well known boars as Young Hadley, John Long 2d, King Blaine, and such sows as Big Queen, Queen Wonder, Missouri Belle, in all, twenty of the top hogs and standbys of Mr. Harshaw’s herd were sold collectively to A. J. Erhart of Adrian, who is al- ready famous in the state for his Poland-China hogs. The sale includ- ed Mr. Harshaw’s herd books, sales books, and his mailing list of over 2,000 customers. The purchase price was $1,350. The balance of the hogs were sold singly, 80 head averaging $40 per head. i Mr. Harshaw’s many friends who have watched with interest his suc- cess in the hog business regret his retirement from this, line of work, but on account of his having associat- ed himself with the Mitchell-Lewis motor car company he finds it neces- sary to devote his entire time and at- tention to this business.

Fortunately no lives were lost, and of the 2,000 or more passengers and crews of the vessels none was in- jured. The accident occurred a few miles from the spot where the American liner, St. Paul, and the British cruiser Gladiator collided nearly four years ago, and as in the previous case, the warship came off second best, so far as can be ascertained tonight. The extent of the damage to the liner, however, cannot be decided un- til it is docked and an examination is made of the rent which the cruiser’s ram cut in its side. Hadley Wroth at Swanger. Jefferson City, Sept, 25.—It is ex- pected by Republicans that Gov. Hadley will severely scold State Bank Commissioner Swanger when he next meets him, which probably will be during the week. According to Republican newspa- pers, Mr. Swanger is out in the state boosting the Governor for the vice- presidential nomination, despite a statement the Executive guve out a week ago that he would not have the tomination in any circumstances, as he considered the vice-presidency of the United States as a job only to be filled by some millionaire, who had nothing else particularly to do. The Governor is reported to be somewhat wroth over Mr. Swanger’s previousness, and it would not be surprising if he should take the lat- ter’s name off his slate for nomination as secretary of state.
