BOOMING ROOSEVELT.

The denomination of Theodore
Roosevelt is being urged by a large
and influential following of repubIi-
cans. 1t is argued that this would
not mean third term in the usual ac-
ceptation of that phrase. The third
term idea is a candidate for three sue
cessive terms as president. Roosevelt
has been a candidate for president
once. He was the candidate tor vice
president at the election of 1900,
when Mckinley was elected, and
became president on the death of Nc
KlnIey only five months after his in
auguratiou. 1t is true that Roosevelt
will have served Eearly two full
terms at the close OF his present term
of office, but strictly speaking a re-
nomination would really make him a
presidential candidate of two terms.
Nevertheless, all the prejudices
against third term would be appeal
ed to iu the event of his re-nominat-
ion. 1t is uDdeniable that there is ID
the popular mind a strong feeling
against one man occupying the posit-
ion of president for three terms in
succession. Whether this prejudice
is based on sound reasoning or not.
it is deep noted, and would certainly
have an effect at the ballot box.
Roosevelt is unquestionahIy popular
with the masses, for the courageous
stand he has taken to correct abuses
of the trusts and big financial COM
binations. 1t must also be admitted
that by his course be has awakened
determined opposition on the part of
heavy monetary interests. Also, the
laboring classes, especially those
identified with trades unions, are dis
pleased with him on account of his
statement branding some of the labor
leaders as undesirable citizens. -
This would have an effect.
Roosevelt is not candidate to sue
ceed himself lie has declared all
uAOhS hhob ohOCl LIZ
would he be a candidate. But should
the nomination be rendered him,
would he refuse to accept it? Such
a declination has never happened,
and it is not probable that 1t would
happen in the case of Roosevelt un-
der the circumstances. However, the
forces of the administration are in
favor of the nomination of Taft. He
seems to be the candidate selected,
perhaps because g he is IN sympathy
with the policies inaugurated by
Roosevelt, and would continue on the
same line if elected. The situation
in this respect is a novel one. Never
before has the power of the admins
tratIon been directed to the naming
of candidate for president outside
of the incu m bent.

Lovers of fishing are having good

seen fish taken out, weighing four and

better stocked this year with large
fish than previously, probably owing
to the unusually high water in March.
Although badly handicapped by
high water, work on the trestle for
the pipe line is progressing rapidly,
and the people of Camanehe Will soon
be rejoicing over a plentiful supply
of water.

TheFly That Buzred For Mendeissohn

TheFly That Buzzed For Mendeissohn
The following story is told of the
music of the overture TO "a Midsum-
mer Nights Dream" While Mendels-
sohn was deep In the making of this
same fine overture he went riding one
day with a friend. In order, after
awhile, to rest their horses the two
boon companions dismounted and
stretched themselves out under the
shade of great tree. Suddenly there
came an excited "Hush!" from the
great composer. who half arose very
cautiously. A large fly was buzzing
over them, and Mendelssohn was anx-
;ous to catch the true sound of the In
sects hum as 1t gradually drifted far
Their away. Many days later when the
overture had been completed the artist
called his friends attention TO that
passage in progression where the vio-
loncello modulates in the chord Of the
seventh of the descending scale from
B minor to T sharp minor. There,
that's the fly that buzzed past us at
Schonhausen," said Mendelssohn.
