Political Comment.
Taft Sentiment Grnwinp

The Messenger suggests to its friends
that the sentiment that favors the
nomination OF Taft in this state, while
not making as many claims from the
housetops as are put forth for at least
one of the other candidates, is too serious
and too farreaching among thoughtful
men to be accounted for, so far as The
Messengers share in it is concerned, bv
mere loyalty to mellowed fancies Of
student days. And the Taft sentiment is
growing, growing every day right here
in Vermont. Not among the active
politicians, so fast, perhaps, but among
the rank and file Of considerate men that
have been waiting to make up their
minds whom they should lavor as
Roosevelt's successor and who have
failed to discover, amid all the mysterious
threats OF anti-Taft combinations or all
the open criticism Of the President and
his administration, one solitary direct
reason given why Taft is not fit man
and an altogether worthy and
deserving man to be made president of
the United States.-[St. Albans Mes.

Where Ser vice Counts.

Whatever the voters of the second con-
gressional district intend to do when the
time comes tor nominating representa-
tive in congress they should bear in mind
that long service IS what counts for in
tiuence in that BODY. No matter how
much ability or influence a man NAV
possess, his position when he enters con
gress IS as humble as that of a freshman
in college. The promises he made to
adoring constituents from the rear plat
form of the train which carried him to
Washington come back to him like bad
dreams after he has been at the capital

aspirations cruelty shattered. He begins
to realize then that the men upon whom
rests the responsibility of legislation are

Mr. Haskins is not a horn-tooter. He

Of the important committees his time is

the legitimate interests of his constituents

gree upon the qualifications of Mr. Plum

of timber, the amount OF wood con-
sumed each year for pulp mas H.
creased since 1899 from 100000 to
3,5OO,OO0 cords. Spruce, the WOOD
from which in 1899 three-fourthS OF
the pulp was manufactured, is still the
leading wood, but it now produces
little less than 70 per cent OF the to-
tai. Since 1899, poplar, which Tor
years was used in connection with
spruce to the exclusion OF all other
paper woods, has increased in total
quantity less than 100000 cords, and
is now outranked by hemlock. Pine,
palsam and cottonwood are used in
mucA- smaller amounts.
New York alone consumes eacn
year over 1,250,OO0 cords OF wood In
the manufacture OF pulp, or more than
twice as much as Maine, which ranks
next. Wisconsin, New Hampshire,
pennsylvania and Michigan follow in
the order given. The average cost OF
pulp delivered at the min was $7.2l.
The chief item determining the price OF
paper is the cost OF pulp. An exam
pie of the increased price OF paper
is found in the case of a publisher OF
daily in the Middle West, who re-
Gently paid $1,000 for carload OF
paper. The same quantity and grade
OF paper cost a year ago but $500.
The chemical processes OF paper
making, which better preserve the
wood 1iber, are gaining over the me-
chanical process. In 1899. 65 per cent
OF the wood was reduced by the me-
ohanioal nrOceSS. in 1907 less than
SO per cent.

charming points of interest, | would
endeavor to tell you something OF the
beautiful and unrivaled waterfalls to
be seen in Norway, but must be con-
tent with saying they are conspicuous
for their unusual scenic effect and
grandeur; some descend like slender
silver threads, others are spread out
like fieecy wells, while some pour down
a clear blue mass of liquid thunder,
hundreds and hundreds of feet to the
sea. Every variety of waterfall is to
be found in this wonderful land. Per-
haps the finest of these many water
falls are the Vorinfoss and the Fossel1.
Of the cities of Norway your last ar
ticle mentioned Christiania as the first
and finest and shall mention but Ber-
gen, the second, and Trondhjem, the
third in size.
Bergen, when viewed from the sea,
presents a unique appearance. 1t nes-
ties in valley partly ascending the
hills behind. It's harbor is narrow and
looks very like a canal with curious
warehouses on either side, many OF
them erected by the Hanseatic League
and INTELLECTUALLY interesting.
On a ridge separating a portion OF
the town from the narrow bay is sit
uated the famous Castle of Ber-
genhans. There are numerous excel
lent public institutions in and about
the city. And the Domkirke, as the
cathedral is called, is place OF inter-
est to visitors. It's walks and drives
are inviting and with a population OF
over 4O, 900, Bergen partakes somewhat

historic associations.
Trondhjem was once the capital. 1t
is now the third city of Norway, with
a population of about $4,000. The
town is said to date back to the year
997 A. d. 1t has direct railway COM
munication with Christiania, and al
though somewhat north it is still easy
of access and is worthy of visit. Its
cathedral, fine building, is one OF the
Oldest stone structures in Norway, and
is kept In god state Of repair. This is
the seat of governor, and bishop,

GEORGE H. ROVER.

A recent communication received by
the editor from Mr.. George Roger,
who has been assistant manager of the
Mitchell, Lewis & Staver Co. of Ports
land, Ore, contains the interesting
advice that Mr.. Roger has resigned
his position with the big Portland
firm and will himself engage in the
implement business under the firm
name of "The Roger Implement Com
pany." Mr.. Roger will open this new
business about July LIST and says that
he will begin in a modest way, hop
ing to build up a larger business as
he goes along The Ranch does not
hesitate to predict rapid and sub
stantial growth for the Roger Imple-
ment Company, knowing that the man
who is behind it has not only the &C.
quaintance with the field and the ex-
perience in the business, but also has
unlimited energy, enterprise and abil-
ity, coupled with personality which
makes many friends for him wherever
he goes. The headquarters of The
Roger Implement Co. will be in Port
land, Ore, and we are sure that the
firm will have the well wishes and
some of the patronage of the readers
of The Ranch.

YOUNG TURKS IN COMPLETE
CONTROL OF SITUATION

Paris July 25-In the matter of
the sudden turn of events in Turkey,
the general opinion in Frances Off
cial circles is that the sultan's treatri-
cal restoration of the phantom consti-
tuition of 1876 promises much, and
probably will end in far-reaching re-
forms which will transform Turkey
and put a natural end to that problem
which frequently has brought Europe
to the verge of war, the problem of
the near east
This opinion Is not based on the idea
that Sultan Abdul Hamid is really con-
verted to constitutionalism but upon
the complete change that has come
about in the Turkish situation since
the sultan fooled the powers and his
subjects in 1876. The Temps today
points out that the Young Turks. with
their hands on the army, were able to
strike at the heart of autocracy,
The Young Turks will not let them
selves be duped with tranquility. They
Will only come in If the sultan is sim
cere. II not the fight will be resum-
ed says that paper.
The foreign office also shares the
views that the powers must halt, wait
and adopt a position of benevolent
neutrality toward the Young Turks.
The only thing France would object
to would be an attempt on the part of
any power to take advantage OF the
present situation.

The latest returns, however, have

excited interest was whether the ques-

at midnight indicate that this propo-
