ROOSEVELT AND A THIRD TERN

President Roosevelt declared at the
beginning Of his present term of office
that he would not be candidate for re-
election when his term expires. The
country accepted his declaration in coed
faith and the people have all the while
believed that he would keep his word
Recently, however, the surmise has
sprung up in various quarters that his
declaration does not seem so binding as
it did at first, and that Mr.. Roosevelt
will stand Tor nominatin ard election
to third term.
Judge Alton B. Parker, the Democrat
ic nominee for President in the las,
national campaign, THINKS that Presi-
dent Roosevelt desires the office again
and will "be in the hands OF his friends
when convention time comes around.
Let us hope that MIR. Roosevelt will
be true to his first declaration and will
graciously step down and out wban bis
term expires.

NOT THE BEST VA Y.

1t is common thing to hear people
in almost any town or community say
that things are dull and times are
hard. And some people seem to take
delight in telling others that they
think their town is dull and dead.
But such talk and such feeling will
never improve conditions. The way
to improve dull conditions is to stir
I'D something new and bring some
hing to pass.
What would you think OF man who
rhouId take it upon himself to go to
every cemetery be could find and place
conspicuous notice on every tomb
stone saying, ga corpse was buried
here?"
There would be just as much sense
in it as there is for a man to stop every
one he sees on the streets and cay,
This town is dull"
If the town is dull every body who
ought to know 1t will find it out in
time.

Up Against It-Editor Hull of the
Wilton News is kind of up against it
with his attempt to commute on his
homestead, and his case is an Illus
tration Of how particular the govern
ment Is getting in the matter Of COM
muted proofs. At the time Mr.. Hull
left this city he took a claim down
Driscoll way, built good house and
his family resided there while he
travelled to and from Wilton He put
good deal of money on the land in
the way of improvements and the
family remained there continuously
or three months ago. Now word
comes that the department at Wash
ington turns down the proof on the
ground that he did not make the place
his home and he will be required to
reside there continuously himself for
the next fourteen months. Few per,
sons have been more conscientious in
maintaining, he supposed, a
residence upon government land than
Mr.. Hull, and the decision will be a
hardship upon him and, unless he
abandons the land, will necessitate
spending most of his time on it, which
| it. is understood he will do, as he has
put too much money in improvements
and the land is too valuable to be
| lightly cast aside. \. -
