London, June 19.-The news of
Secretary Taft's nomination for the
presidency was received too late for
editorial comment in the morning pa
pers, except the Times. which says:
at is the greatest and most strk-
ing of all Roosevelts many victories.
BY the unfiinching eXertion of his
personal will President Roosevelt re-
vealed the undoubted win OF the re-
publican party, and, what is hardly
less certain, the will of the American
people. He has chosen to sacrifice
his personal ambition TO his sense
of duty as a citizen. 1t is a noble
act of self-abnegation. worthy of the
first magistrate of the people bred in
respect for the law and in ven ration
for its spirit" ="

INTERESTS MARINE CORPS
PRESIDENTS ORDER THAT OF
FICERS MUST TAKE TESTS.
Powers of Endurance to Be Tested
by ALI, Not Excepting the
General Commanding.

Officers of the Marine Corps, which or
ganiZation President Roosevelt considers
has no place in the marine service. are
now concerned over the issuance of an or
der from the White House outlining the
endurance test to which they are to be
subjected. The test for the naval officers
is to be more general and more severe
than the army test, but the requirements
of the Marine Corps go beyond anything
that had been even dreamed of. Army
officers were concerned later in the day
when the real significance of the Marine
Corps order appeared. and it was learned
that it's terms would be applied to the
army in future tests.
The original draft of the order for the
marine test was drawn up by Maj. Cen
George r. Elliott, commandant of the
Marine Corps, with aid from officers of
his staff, but the completed draft, as
made by Rear Admiral Pillsbury, chief Of
navigation resembled the original draft
but little when it went to the White
House for approval. The President sur
prised even Admiral Pillsbury and Secre-
tary Newberry, who would rather see
marine officers ride horses than battle
ships, by making still harder the physical
requirements.
The Endurance Tests.
In the army the endurance tests have
applied only to majors, lieutenant colonies
and colonies. In the navy it will apply
to officers of all grades excepting rear ad-
mirals not on sea duty and who are not
considered eligible for commands afioat,
and excepting officers below the grade Of
commander who have been examined TOR
nromotion within the year during the
test. In the Marine Corps. however, no
officer from second lieutenant up to the
major general commanding is exempt
What the test shall be for all except the
ma ior general is stipulated by the Presi-
dent Gen. Elliott Is left to the tender
mercies Of the Secretary of the Navy as

Then. according to a Mussulman ira

produced white roses, and that which

Vermont Deer Shot in Other States.

The resolution passed by the Yer
mont grange, fav BRING the shooting
of does on the ground that it is the
female deer which do most of the
damages to crops fol which the state
is paying out hundreds of dollars,
had great weight with the senate,
so Senator Butler tells the Rutland
News.
Senator Orvis of Manchester was
an active worker for the bill legaliz-
ing the shooting Of does. He argued
that in New Hampshire and New
York, which adjoin Vermont, the
shooting of does is allowed and that
this state is supplying the two Dor
dering states annually with many
does which wander over the bound
airy lines. Vermont has been laughed
at by outside sportsmen for protect
ing her deer only to have them shot
in other states, according to Mr..
Orvis.
Il was further argued that by rea-
son of the present game laws there
will be only one six days open
season before the legislature sits
again, and that il the figures next
show that too many deer are killed
the general assembly of 1910 can
again shut off the killing of does.

THE SURPRISE PARTY.
An Achievement Of Which an Enemy
Might Well Be Proud.

There is little doubt that sur
prise party given for a person of
mature years is one of the highest
forms of civilized cruelty. 1t is a
custom Of long standing and one
that people still indulge in and do
it blithely, with enthusiasm and o
blind belief that they are pleasing,
while all the time the poor victim
is almost in tears at what he feels
to be the tragedy of the thing.
1t is no small matter to have
your wife, the woman who above
all others you feel sure understands
you and agrees with you Oh all
important matters, suddenly dis
close a distorted sense of what is
amusing, a mixing of what is kind
and what is cruel, which results in
one of the most maddening even
ings you have ever spent, says the
New York Evening Sun. To have
at a word from her a life sized party
explode in your drawing room and
then, as the anger rises in your
heart, mandates your speech-while
this is going on inside you--to see
her standing in the midst of that
crowd of guests rocking with laugh
ter-well, it is a man of supernat-
ural sweetness and balance who can
stand it.
A party is not a thing that one
wants to stumble upon unexpected
ly, particularly party in your own
house, the one place where you
hope to find quiet; above all, a party
of which you are the unwilling CEN
ter. No; one should be allowed to
prepare for these things, to grapple
with the idea of them, digest it, re-
cover from it, so that when the
night for it finally arrives the
thought Of the party will be a thing
you are well used to, almost a part
of your daily life, not binding
light turned on with such sudden
ness that it leaves you blinking for
the rest of the evening. That is
not the sort of thing friend al
lows to happen to you-naturally
not. 1t is thing an enemy might
be proud of.
