WASHINGTON LETTER
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTER-
R6T FROM THE CAPITOL

President Roosevelt has reit-
Grated his statement concerning
third torn made ON the night of
his election, and adAs that no has
not changed his attitude In the
matter. Mr.. Roosevelt feels that
be has she sympathy Of the people
OF the country and therefore, they
have appreciated that he meant
what he said in the original state
ment, but he has felt called upon
to reitsfate 1t for tho benefit of
those politicians, who have sx-
pressed themselves as dubious of
his real desires and have been ad-
vocating a thiRd term. He made
up his mind some time ago that a
public statement would be neo-
essary but concluded to wait un-
til the national committee had
met and the call for the eonvsn-
tion had been issued.

AN OPEN LETTER.
Hon. Geo. 3. Ellis Recommends the
Short Course In Agriculture
Offered In Jan. and Feb.

Having been raised on a farm
without the opportunities of q
training given by the Agricultural
College, and In later life coming
In close contact with the work be.
ing done by the Agriculture Col-
lege and Experiment Station, I
believe l am In a position to knew
something of she value of suoh Q
training. There is something more
TO know about ploughing than rum
ming a straight furrow; something
more to learn In feeding hogs and
cattle than satisfying hunger;
more to learn Of the improvement
Of the soil than simply the spread
ing of manure; more to know Of
crop growing than the simple act
of putting seed into the ground.
Phe Missouri Agricultural COL
lege will on January 2, 1908. open
Q school lasting eight weeks for
the benefit of young farmers. I
want to urge you to attend this
school offered you by thu great
State OF Missouri. You will here
come In contact with several hun.
dred of the brightest farmer boys
of this state which alone will in
spire you to accomplish greater
things, and you will have the
benefit of the instruction of the
agricultural faculty composed Of
men, who have not only had pTac-
tical training on the farm but
have also.spent many years in the
Agriculture College and Experi-
mont Station fading out those
things that will make farm work
more profitable aud farm life
moro pleasant. We want you to
come because we belief you will
be benefit to the College and
because we belief we can benefit
you. 1 assure you that you will
be greeted By the officers and
every member of the faculty and
the student body with a most
hearty Welcome.

Speaking Of the misreprsssnt-
alton Of certain newspapers, the
President recently called the
attention of your oosrsspsndent
to a lying dispatch printed In .
New York afternoon paper which
Is attempting to secure the Aom-
ination of Mr.. Hughes, the origin
al Hughes paper, In fact; and
which stops ut nothing In the
mendacious line In Its efforts TO
attain It's end. This dispatch,
which was sent out from Wash
ineton, declares that Secretary
Taft contemplated Hesigning from
the cabinet because the President
had permitted the Taft boom to
lag during the Secretary's abssnss
from this country and had en-
oouEaged the Oortelyou boom.
OF course nothing could be fur

The PRESIDENT, discussing re-
gently his own plans for the future
with some intimate friends said
that 1t would take ten years off
his normal life to again run for
the Presidency and that what
ever might be his duty to
his country, he felt his first
duty was to his family there
fsrs nothing would induce him 20
run again. Pressed for further In
formation he said that The two
ar eatest occasions for worry and
anxiety In . political campaign
were the danger of utterapces Of
fool friends and the malicious
tAlsehoods which certain nows-
papers persistently printed. Mr..
Roossvelt, throughout the last

The Senate has held more sessions
but has accomplished nothing and

THAT ARE DANGEROUS

Exhaustive experiments by the New South Wales government have now proved-what has all along been >sus- pected-that wool will, under certain conditions, ignite spontaneously, and that consequently it is a dangerous cargo to carry.
 Probably, therefore, it will be add ed to the list of commodities which the Board of Trade decrees must he slowed with extra care-commodities which include such diverse articles as matches, acids, gunpowder, coal, wheat, and timber
 This, however, will be but poor consolation to the harassed sea, cap tain. since all these things have to be carried anyhow, somehow. Besides the danger frequently lies not so much in cargoes known to be dangerous, as in those supposed to be safe.
 Thus, a cargo of glass bottles came within an ace of wreeking the sailing ship Camel off the Isle of Wight a short time ago; and a patent paint drying preparations suftioed to sepd to the bottom of the Straits of Magellan the Doterel and the 148 souls aboard her.
 Potatoes that deoayed into d putrld pulp engendered a pesalence that, 8 couple of years ago, killed eleven Jut of twenty-seven of the crew pt )ne of tha finest vessels in t,1e American mercantile marine, and nearly caused her total loss off Teneriffe. This year, in one of the Liverpool locks, the enlanations from cargo of soap blew ship well nigh to bits ard killed number of men who were working in her hold.

The hunting, which is now at an end, did not bring very much game to local hunters, Old lovers of the sport say that never before was there such a scarcity of game. Some of the best hunters tramped all day and came home without any sign of a feather, something which is unprecedented in this locality. The coon hunters were the only ones at all repaid for their nightly tramps, and they were most nberally rewarded as this animal was very plentiful this year and also very large.
