New York Sun For Roosevelt

New York, Aug. 12.-The Sun, which
has for some time given indications of
being undecided as to where it would
land politically, came out yesterday
morning for Roosevelt and Fairbanks
in an editorial, which says in part:
1.-THE campaign is now on. Both
parties and both candidates have spok-
en-. On one side is conservative party
with radically inclined and erstwhile
too strenuous candidate for president.
Behind him, for the vice-presidency, is
a man of undoubted sagacity and sound
opinions who gives mental and physical
promise of endurance. On the other
side is radical party with an infinite
capacity for mischief and stupendous
record of mischief actually accomplish
ed, presenting for president conserva-
lively inclined candidate of irreproach-
able character and attractive personal
accomplishments, and for vice president
one whose extreme age is the sole but
sufficient reason for apprehension in
case of his succession to the presidency.
"Such is the choice before the indie
pendent voter and it is the Independent
voter who will decide this election.
HE cannot take Parker on the repub-
lican platform and record. He cannot
reject Roosevelt without reckoning to
distant Huns, without helping to open
the gates of power to political forces of
unmeasured destructive potentiality. 1t
seems better to maintain the unbroken
wall of defense, which the first election
of Mckinley established.
1--WE shall, therefore, advocate the
election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks,
and advise the defeat of Parker and
Davis"

j. T. Ransous, of Hazelton, reports a
peculiar condition of things in his
wheat. Twenty acres of wheat Just in
the milk and apparently in the finest
condition took sudden turn and col
lapsed. Mr.. Ransous thought rust had
struck the wheat, but examination
proved that the stalks of wheat had
been attacked by small yellow worm.
The stalks were full of the worms, and
when the crop was threshed the twenty
acres yielded 1879 bushels of not wheat,
but very poor quality of screenings
Otherwise the crop was total loss. Mr.
Ransous does not understand the case
and has sent samples of the stalks to
the Agricultural college for examina-

Burton Farmers Club.

Thursday, August 4th, the Burton
Farmers Club met at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. G. T. Mason. The meeting
was called to order by the president,
Mrs. Potter. Song by the club. DE
votional exercises were conducted by
Mr.. Love-
The questions for the day were then
taken up. The first being, Where will
wood ashes do the most good9 Mr..
Potter led the discussion on this subject,
a number speaking from experience,
said they were good almost anywhere
on the farm, in the potato patch, in the
cornfield and around the fruit trees,
and all thought none of them should be
sold off the farm.
The next question on the cultivation
of corn was quite thoroughly discussed,
all thinking that corn could not be in
jured by too much cultivation, but
might be injured by too deep cultiva-
ton about the time the ears are setting.
Mr.. Mason was then to tell us when
he thought the Maple River drain
would be completed, but as it is not yet
commenced he could give us very little
idea when it would be completed.
The meeting then adjourned for the
noon hour. This is a part of our club
meetings that we all enjoy, both the
good things to eat and the social time
we spend together.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The president called the meeting to
order. Miss Nettie Rush answered the
question, Of what should woman's
work consist? She thought that a
woman's work should consist of what
ever she finds herself the most capable
of doing. Mrs. Mason then told us how
seedless oranges are produced. The
first tree to produce seedless oranges
came as freak of nature and all seed
less oranges are now produced from
scions taken from that tree. The orig
inal tree is now in the horticultural
gardens at Washington.
We then listened to a song by Mrs.
Auiler and children. Mrs. Hammond
and Miss Nettie Rush each gave select
reading, after which the general topic
was taken up. Which is the most es-
sential in commercial world, economy
or energy? The subject was well dis
cussed by Mr.. Mason, Mr.. Potter, Miss
Guilford and others. The most thought
that energy was the motive power in
commerce but that economy was also
necessary for the successful carrying on
of the same.
The state subject was then discussed
by the gentlemen. After song by the
club the meeting adjourned to meet the
first Thursday in September with Mr.
and Mrs. William CARRIER.

The West is Anti-Parker.

The game of rainbow chasing has
ever been favorite pastime with demo
cratic newspapers. Just now the east
ern organs of the party are publishing
predictions that Parker will carry GER
tain western states which are reliably
republican. In point of fact, had they
been in the doubtful column in the last
two campaigns they would today be, as
they are. absolutely certain for Roose,
welt.
The condition is this: The President
is enormously popular throughout the
west. 1t is personal popularity that
would arouse sweeping majorities in
his behalf, even were there no other
factor making for his success, but the
democrats of that section are intensely
free silver in sentiment, and Parker's
telegram has turned them away from
him. Like Bryan, they are disaffected,
and they will by thousands and tens of
thousands vote for Roosevelt.
There are a number of instances
which may be given showing the drift
of democratic opinion. The chairman
of the. Michigan democratic state com
mittee has repudiated Parker; the form
or chairman of the Iowa democratic
state committee has publicly announced
his support of Roosevelt. In the Mis-
souri, democratic convention, which
named Folk for governor, Bryans name
was received with mighty cheers when
it was mentioned, but Parker's was re-
ceived with cries of WHO is Parker9"
These are straws showing the direc-
ton of the political winds in the west.
The democrats detest David B. Hill, and
resent the capture of the party by him
and the Wall street crowd. They look
on Parker as the tool of Hill and the
trusts, and on the trust proposition
alone they will vote for Roosevelt.
The nomination of Davis, West Vir-
ginia railroad and mining property
promoter. strengthens their view that
the party is in the hands of the element
the western democrats call "the plu-
tocracy." There is no hope for Parker
in the west. Toledo Blade.
