$4,000 damages. They claim that
their valuable meadow land in sec-

Der company, in which $3.50

THE PRESIDENTS SILENCE
About The Third Term Is For
A Purpose

Successor to be Alright.

ports to make plain the attitude of
President Roosevelt toward the
presidency. The accepted view taken
by experienced men in politics is that
the president does not want a renomi-
nation, being not even a receptive
candidate, and that 1T is his earnest
desire to leave the White House upon
the expiration Of his present ter m;
but, 10 doing SO, he wants to turn
over the office, not to reactionaty,
or one who is more mindful OF the
interests Of corporations than Of the
people. but to man worthy as him.
self Of the public confidence nd
absolutely committed to the so.called
Roosevelt policies. Only in the
event that the next Republican
national convention shows tendency
to turn to some man of reactionary
inclinations will the president permit
his name to be presented.
The president is gratifed at the
popularity Of himself and his polio es
evidenced by the third term NOV e.
ment; but he is annoyed by the
clamor of those who are trying to
force him to fatty accept or decline
another nomination. This he does
not want to do at the present. time.
He is biding his time. His silence Is
not without purpose. 1t keeps his
opponents and "the interests" at sea,
and, not knowing what course he
might take, they are unable to formu u
late plan of campaign to defeat hI M
or his policies. A statement from
the president at this time absolutely
refusing a denomination would for
ever check the third term movement.
The interests would then know what
to expect; they would look the field
over, pick their own candidate, and
Immediately begin campaign to
force his nomination. Such cam.
raign, it is declared, cannot be safely
undertaken as long as the president
remains silent. That is one very
essential reason why the president
hopes his over Jealous friends will not
force his hand.
The president has committed Lin

York Six months ago he let it be
known that he looked with extrem me
favor upon Secretary Taft. believing
him the most available man likely to
perpetuate the policies of the admin.
istratlon; but since then Governor
Hughes has developed great streng gtb
and popularity as we'll. The next
six months may, and probably will,
further demonstrate the relative
merits of all candidates, and Taft or
Hughes, or some other may forge
ahead and be the logical man to re.
celve the nomination.
Meanwhile the president desires to
preserve discreet silence as to his
own plans, SO that he may better
promote legislation and confound his
political enemies. He has confide ncn
in his fellow men, and believes that
the convention can readily find one
worthy Of their confidence and the
confidence of the country.

4 FRUIT TREE DISEASE.
Anthracnose, Its Symptoms and
Methods of Treatment.


Anthracnose, or black spot, is an
orchard disease prevalent in Oregon
and expected to appear in Idaho. 1t
makes its first appearance in the fall
after the rains begin, 10 small. round.

on the bark which increase in size
until the last of December. In the
spring the spots grow larger and the
bark falls leaving scars such as may
be made by bruising the wood. When
the scars join, girdling limb or the
tree, the, limb or the tree dies.
The best treatment is to spray with
the winter Bordeaux mixture after
the fruit is picked, following with
lime and sulphur.
Winter Bordeaux is made by slack
ing six pounds of lime and dissolving
six pounds of copper sulphur (blue
vitrioD to every SO pounds of water.
Slack the lime in a pail by itself, be-
ing careful to form fine milk of
lime. This can be strained and dilut-
ed to 25 gallons. Place the copper
sulphate in sack and suspend it in
water-warm water is quicker 10 its
actions. This is then diluted to 25
gallons, the two mixed together and
should be applied at once. 1t will
take from one to three gallons to a
tree. The main point to be observed
is to use enough of the mixture to
thoroughly drench the tree.
After the leaves have fallen apply
the lime and sulphur mixture. This
consists of so pounds of lime and so
pounds of sulphur to $50 gallons of
water. Take large kettle or vat,
pour in little water and after it
comes to boil add the lime and
sulphur and boil briskly for at least
one hour, or until the liquid becomes
a blood red color with little free sui.

and applied at once. This last spray
ing, If well done, destroys the remain
ing spores and thus you have checked
the spread of the disease.
Not only is lime and sulphur fine
remedy for anthracenose, but it is the
best spray to kill the scale; 1t also
destroys the branch form of woolly

tion to the spraying mentioned, it
is suggested that If one has trees
that have been badly injured by an
thracenose that you cut out the dis.
eased spots, wash with Bordeaux aud
paint over the wounds. If this treat
ment is given and the orchard receives
good care the anthracenose will soon
be practically eradicated.

sage, which was read in congress
this week:
The war against successful dis
honesty should continue.
The present panic, brought on
BY the speculative folly of a part
OF the business community, should
be relieved for the benefit Of the
innocent.
Big corporations should be plac-
ed under the control Of the govern
ment a nd the sovereignty of the
national government established.
Law concerning corporations
should not be negative, but affirm
ative.
1he interstate commerce COM
mission should have its power ex-
tended to pass upon the future
issue Of railroad securities.
COMPUTATIONS of labor and of
capital are necessary. Seek to con-
troll tn ese combinations, not to
prevent them.
The antitrust law should be
made more effective and in accord
with present conditions.
The banking laws must be
changed. If the banks are allowed
to issue notes at certain season
SO high rate of interest should be
charged the banks that the notes
will be driven out of circulation
when lot absolutely needed.
The present tariff laws should be
retained, and All effort to change
them would unsettle business con-
ditions.
An inheritance and income tax
should be part of the system of
government taxation.
The criminal laws must be
changed eliminating technicalities
and Sc ntimentality.
The law of injunction should be
changed so as not to invade rights.
The national government should
be M odel employer and provide
for those injured in its service.
The eight-hour law should be
put in force on all government
work.
Compulsory investigation Of
strikes and lockouts should be
made, and disputes settled with
out loss of time and energy.
The farms and their products
must be protected. What is want
ed is small farms and many farm
ers.
Irrigation should be developed
and changes should be made in the
land laws. Mineral lands should
not be allowed to fall into the
hands of private owners, and the
timber must be preserved.
Pos stal savings banks should be
established.
The government should provide
campaign expenses.
The navy should be strength
ened. 1t is not for coast defense,
but fo r offensive fighting.

NORFOLK, VA, April 20.-The Off
GERS of Admiral Evans's fleet are mild
~ excited over a report which has
gained credence to the effect that the
republic of Hayti is making prepara-
lions to send a representative of her
navy to the rendezvous In Hampton
Roads
What is the real cause OF the furry
and excitement is tho fact that should
Hayti be represented in the tnterna-
tional fleet 1t will be by flagship In
command Of vice-admiral who is
squat and fat and as black as a black
cat And, being a vice-admrai, he will
be the senior officer present, with the
probable exception OF the vice-admiral
in command of the Japanese cruisers.
and as such would receive precedence
over all others, according to the strict
demands OF navy etiquette. hi
A vice admiral from Japan is all
we'll and good, but one from the Black
sitoon and will lead to endless e1nhar-
RAISING situations. which can't very
we'll be avoided. 90 ~ f5ltg+
The newest vessel which the Haytien
navy possesses was built in 1875, and
it is hardly possible that 1t could make
the trip from Port Prince to Hamp
ton Roads and back again, therefore It
is r,nnpred that the government is
trying 10 borrow a vessel from some
where to send with her ebony-hued
vice-admiral to the assemblaGe of the
navies of the powers of the world in
Hampton Roads. which makes the at-
fair even more diStasteful than other
