found that he had won.-the very night
of the election-C Colonel Roosevelt gave
out u positive statement that he WOulu
not be candidate In 1908. Since then
he has reaffirmed that declaration
several times. That he was sincere
must be taken FOR granted. But now
signs multiply that official incense
burners. office seekers and emotional
folks are breeding sentiment in favor
of third term Notwithstanding the
presidents utterances OH that subject.
Properly attended to, heavy pressure
can be brought to bear Oh him TO III

body is fool enough to undertake to
make il appear that he is not to be per-
mitted to change his mind. 1t would
perhaps be unfortunate for him If he
did change it, He might have a tus-
sic for the nomination, and serious
tussle. even ii he triumphed, would
diminish his fame. Nominated, he
might be defeated at the polls, which
would be II woeful ending to phe-

third term for any man and who can
not be persuaded, bullied or hired to

"As SAFE AS A BALLOON"

During the last twenty years 2,06l
balloon and airship ascents have
taken place in Germany, and only
thirty-six accidents have befallen
the 1870 persons taking part in
them-that is to say, one trip in ff-
ty-seven comes to grief, or one aero
naut in 210 meets with an accident
casualty rate of less than one-halt
per cent. In spite of these alluring
statistics most of us will be prevent
ed by various circumstances from
taking up ballooning as sport, and
we are more interested in the fact
that ballooning is safer than motor

people. The whole 2,O6l trips, We
are told, have only produced two
