PERFECTION PREDICTIONS

Have you ever taken occasion, after an election, to refer to the predictions made before the contest? If so, what did you discover? You discovered that the prophecies, accompanied by figures, didn't amount to shucks iu nine cases out of ten. At the present time the papers are announcing that at the repub- ican convention one state will present a solid delegation of so many votes for Taft, or that another state will present so many for Hughes or Fairbanks or Knox or Cannon or for some other candi- date now prominently mentioned. This sort of thing has been going on for years and even in view of the fact that they hardly ever come within gun shot of the real situation, these predictions and eSti- mates are as numerously made and as eagerly read this year as ever. And there is no reason to believe they come nearer to being correct than they have in the past.
 bility of prediction estimates, and to furnish somewhat local instance. the recent town meeting in Leo may be cited. It was predicted before election. quite generally, too, that license would prevail by majority of at least 400. And the result. No license prevailed by majority of two. The results were similar with regard to the license pre- dictions in Sheffield and Great Barring ton recently and in Falls Village last year.
 But these predictions will be made so long as the breath of life remains in humanity. There's sort of fascination connected with anticipating the future that appeals to the average person and the realm of politics furnishes a large field for this sort of activity.

THAT DoGL LICENSED LAW

The dog license law is an unpopular one with large portion of the dog owners but it is exceedingly popular with the farmers and others who would like to raise sheep. It has been said that many owners of dogs, believing the law will not be generally enforced. have made no move toward having their animals registered. They propose to wait and see whether the law is simply to be another to cucumber the statute books or whether it really means business. And upon the authorities of the various towns rests the responsibility of seeing to it that it's provisions are vigorously carried out.

RANcHMEN VS.. SETTLERS.

There 10 q movement on foot to take
out OF the area Of unappropriated public
domain open for settlers, 3e0,OO0,0OO acres
and put 1t into the forest reserve and then
lease It for fencing and grazing to ne
big cattle ranches. says the Chicago
World. The forest reserve fdea is a popu-
lar one under cover OF which these cat
tie men hope to get possession Of an area
larger than Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Penn
sylvania, New York and all New Eng-
land, most OF which Is good agricultural
land well suited for homesteads.
In view Of the fact that homestead lana
Is now almost all taken up, it seems de-
cidedly hoggish for the ranchmen to I'm.
dertake to corral this great empire for
ranching-an empire equivalent to 1,SM.-
GOO homesteads OF a Quarter section each.
or to say h least, OF nearly a million
homesteads on the basis of the half eco
ton allowed In the semi-artd regions. One
ranchman is to be permitted to lease TO-
600 acres. so that 5000 ranchmen are to
crowd out from 100000 to 1,sI5,0O0 farm
ers. In fact, the big anchers can get
their friends or employees to take out TO-
OO0-acre leases and assign them to them
selves SO that one ranch may cover sey-
eral townships under one control. II 10
proposed that only such land as is mot
suitable for agriculture shall be leasedt
theoretically q homestead might be taken
up inside OF the fences q TO-
OO0-acre leasehold. but what farmer would
ever dare take his family into such an
enclosure. Any one who knows the attt-
tude and custom or ranchers toward set-
tiers knows that the settlers life would ba
decidedly unbcarable II not unsafe under
such surroundings. In short, the propo-
sition. ostensibly in the interest OF our
forestry. is an immense grab Of the ranch-
ers and in view Of the exhauztion of avail
able farm lands. II should: be vigorously
opposed In behalf of settlers.

CANDIDATE RESPONDS
TO NOTIFICATION SPEECH

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 34.-Respond-
ang today to h speech OF notification
delivered by Senator William Warner.
William H. Taft, republican nominee
for president, said in part:
Senator Warner and Gentlemen of the
Committee am deeply sensible of the
a1onor which the republican national con-
vention has conferred on me in the nomi-
nation which you formally tender. / ac-
cept it with full appreciation of the re-
ssponsibility it imposes.
can cause in the campaign at hand is in
the fact that we represent policies es-
esential to the reform of known abuses to
the continuance Of liberty and true pros
sperity and that we are determined. as our
platform un~eGuivocalIy declares, to main
tain them and carry them on.
sion OF the popular conscience and who
Aed the movement for practical reform
was Theodore Roosevelt. He laid down
Yhe doctrine that the rich violators Of the
law should be amendable to restrain and
punish as the ofYender without wealth and
without influence. and he proceeded by
executive action to make that principle
good In actual performance. He secured
the passage of the so-calied rate bill de-
signed more effectively to restrain excess
ssive and fix reasonable rates, and to pun
Ash secret rebates and Discrimination
which have been general in the practice
of the railroads, and which. had done much
to enable unlawful trusts@to drive out of
business their competitors. 1t secured much
CLOSER supervision OF trans
actions and brought within the operation
of the same statute, express companies,
sleeping car companies, fast freight and
refrigerator lines, terminal railroads and
pipe lines and forbade in future the COM
bination Of the transportat.ons and ship
ping business under one control in order
to avoid undue discrimination.
Mr. Roosevelt has set high the standard
of business morality and obedience to law.
The railroad rate bill was more useful
possibly in the immediate moral effect OF
Its passage than even in the legal effect
OF its very useful provisions. From its
enactment dates the voluntary abandon
ment of the practice of rebates and dis
examinations by the railroads and the
return by their managers to obedience to
law in the fixing of tariffs. The pure food
and meat inspection laws and the prose-
cutions directed by the president under
the antitrust law have had a similar
moral effect in tile general business com
munity and have made it now the com
mon practice for the great industrial cor
p~oratfons to consult the law with a view
IN keeping within its provisions. It has
also had the effect of protecting and IN
~Couragsng small and competitive COM
panies SO that they nave been enabled to
do a profitable business.
