Theodore Roosevelt at Fifty.

The celebration this week of the
5Oth birthday of President Roosevelt
is reminder that after seven years
in the White House and now on the
noint of retirement from the highest
office in the gift of the American
people. he is still younger than most OF
our presidents have been at the time
of their Inauguration. Most of our
presidents at Inauguration We're be-
tween so and so, while three were past
the 60 mark. Jackson, the elder Harrl-
son and Buchanan. When one con-
siders the remarkable career and the
energetic character of President
Roosevelt, it is impossible to think OF
him retiring from public life at the
early age of 80. While he may never
again become a candidate for office it
is certain that as long as he lives ne
will be a force to be reckOned with IN
national affairs. Only two of the
earlier presidents, the younger Adams
who served many years in Congress
after leaving the White House. and
Andrew Johnson who was member
Of the Senate, have continued IN
public life after retiring from the
presidency. All the others have re-
tired to private life and most of them
to lives of relative ease and quiet.
Whether Roosevelt will enter poll
tics again after March no man can
know but certainly he will not keep
out of public activities Of some kind
after he has returned from the hunt
ing trip in Africa and the tour OF
Europe which he has promised himself
as a vacation after giving up the
duties and responsibilities of the
presidency. He is the only man TINS
country has known since George
Washington who might have had the
third term for the mere asking or even
by Withholding a refusal to accept it.
His career is unparalleled in our his
tory. and in the nature of things there
are likely to be some very interesting
chapters yet written in it.

Democratic Confession of Defeat.

The rising Republican tide in the
closing weeks of the Presidential cam
paign has brought out from Mr.. Bryan
and from his various campaign
managers the old familiar cry that the
election is going to be bought up by
the Republicans. Vice Presidential
Candidate Kern, who was nominated
in the hope of winning Indiana for
Bryan, seeing his hopes vanish into
thin air. prOclaimS to the world that
the Republicans are sending fabulous
sums into that state with which to
corrupt the masses OF the voters. He
presents no proof in support of his
wholesale charges and they are met
with prompt and wholesale denial.
A few days before Mr.. Bryan made
a similar charge with reference to the
country at large and Chairman Mack
of his national committee echoed the
cry Even 'Fingy'' Corners ano
Charlie Murphy. types of the most
corrupt political leadership that the
country 1as ever known, vail that the
Republicans are preparing to buy thu
Empire State next Tuesday. None g!
them present any evidence, and OF
course the absurdity of their state
ments is apparent to all who know
with what difficulty money has beer
raised for campaign purposes this
year.
The significance of these Democratic
walls on the eve of election will no
be lost upon the country. 1t was the
same here in Maine before The
September election, when the Demo
cratic leaders realized that their game
was up and that their bluff had faile'
| to work. In their chagrin and in Thu
hope of diScredting and bclittling tn
| Republican victory which was thel
seen to be certain, they raised thei
| old. familiar cry that the Republican
were going to buy up enough Demo
cratic voters to carry the State 70
F'ernald and the Republican ticket
Aside from the absurdity of such
| charge, it was of course an insult t
the people of Maine in general and t.
| the Democratic party in particular
Just as it was here in Maine. so nov
in the country since the Republica
tide has been rising to such an cxten
as to plainly indicate the overwhelm
| ing defeat of Bryan for the third time
The people of this country are II"
for sale and William j. Bryan know
it. His talk of the buying up of tn
voters to insure a Republican victor
has nothing new in it and is simply
| confession that he now foresce
certain defeat next Tuesday.

Some notable instances of the general
rise in farm values in northern ARGOS
took within the past few years have
been recorded at Fort Fairfield by re-
cent transfers OF real estate. A few
years ago Lem y. Richards of Lime
stone and Fort Fairfield bought the
Nelson Catchell farm in Limestone
with the best farm house and Outbuld-
ings in town for $4,000. Mr. Richards
has recently sold about one-third of
the farm for house lots and 80 acres for
a small farm for $17.50O cash. The
farm contained 275 acres when Mr.
Richards bought it and he would refuse
$4,000 for the balance. He let out the
potato land this year and from sc
acres harvested 10000 barrels Of pota-
toes. all good and merchantabie. He
cut $50 tons of hay; threshed out SCI
bushels of oats. 300 bushels of barley
Mr.. Richards will plant next year 14(
acres of potatoes and does not consider
this such a remarkable trade as Others
have equalled it and some have ex-
ceeded it. The farm is about three
fourths of mile from Limestone sta.
