Roosevelt, Boot. TAFT, Huahes.

1t was once Mr.. Taft's well-known am
bition to end his career as a member of
the Supreme bench. If Chief Justice Full
Ter had retired several years ago, as
was expected, President Roosevelt would
have appointed Mr.. Taft as his successor.
If Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.. Hughes had been
nominated at Chicago two years ago, Mr.
Taft would, in all likelihood, now be APP
poited chief Justice. There was a cru
cial moment in New York politics, sew
eral years ago, when Mr.. Roosevelt's de-
cson made Mr. Hughes the Republican
nominee for governor. 1t was Mr.. RoOse-
velts decision, also, that made Mr. Taft
the Republican nominee for President. Mr..
Hughes al that time was not anxious to
run for the governorshp, nor was Mr..
Taft seeker for the presidency
Mr.. Root, if he had been so minded,
could have been governor of New York
and Republican nominee for the presi-
dency. After his retirement as secretary
of war, when he had justly earned great
popularity by priceless service to the ma
ton, both Roosevelt and Taft urged
Root with all their might to accept a
nomination for the governorship with a
view to becoming the Republican candi-
date for the presidency in 1905 Mr.. Root,
who was seeking no further political pre-
ferment and was content TO be leader of
the bar of New York, deliberately refused
what was easily within his grasp. He
would have been elected governor in 1904
and again in 1906, and would have been
elected President in 1908. In that case
also, Mr.. Taft would probably have be-
come chief justice. Under those circum'
stances, Mr.. Roosevelt would very likely
| have taken Mr.. Platts seat in the Senate
| The death of Mr.. Hay was followed by
| the imperative call that Mr. Root should
| return to the cabinet as secretary o.
state. He was offered the same position
| in Mr.. Taft's cabinet, but decided to go Il
| the Senate. The four most eminent per
| sonalities in the Republican party at tn
| present monet are these four whose pc
| litical destinies have been so curiousl
dntertwined. Mr.. Roosevelt refused
third term; and by the supreme eXercis
| of his political authority he succeeded Il
| putting himself out of power and putin
| another man in. Yet in spite Of him
self he remains the most dominant in
fiuence in our political life. Mr.. Taft
who would have made chief justice c
the pre- eminence accorded only TO Mar
shall, finds himself playing the more con
spicuous but less congenial part Of Presi
dent. He is a better judge of law and {
evidence than of men-better fitted by ma
ture for the bench than for eXecutiv
work. He deals easily and rapidly wit
principles and questions. He is not skill
full in dealing with a thousand little de
tails that relate to persons rather tina
principles. Mr.. Root, who is a good del
older than the other three in years,
rather the youngest of the four in pei
sonal appearance, and quite as young
any of them in the freshness of h
mind.-[From THE Progress of II

The Hope Tomorrow Sends.

Everything is looking bad today;
There's not a sign of good cheer any
where;
The clouds that keep the sunlight out
are gray,
Before me yawns the black gulf Of
despair.
My efforts, unappreciated, fail,
My dearest plans lie in a jumbled heap;
1 hear no friend call out a cheering
Hail"
Before me lies a gulf, uncharted, deep!
I've tried with all my might and all my
heart,
But l have gained no profit. won no
praise;
My part has been a poor and thankless
part,
Beside a cherries gulf I pause and
gaze.
All, but tomorrow 1t is yet to dawn,
And who knows what fair favors it may
bring?
Tomorrow the gray clouds may all be
gone,
And life once more may be a precious
thing.
How few among us, when gray days ar
rive,
When boundless CULTS before us darkly
spread,
Would have the courage still to live anc
strive,
But for the hope tomorrow sends ahead

The Increase In AppraIsaIs.

The quadrennial appraisal now being
COMPLETED throughout the state will be
received with mingled feelings-of pride
in the notable increase as whole; of
soreness when the individual increase
falls on We, Us & Co. Acting according
to a general scheme, as well as following
the upward trend in real estate values, IL
will be found that property is listed ma
teriallv higher than it has been hereto
fore. Rutland and Montpelier report a
iump of about a million; St. Johnsbury a
million and a quarter; Hartford quarter
of a million; other cities and towns in
proportion 1t Is probable that the
growth will be more notable in town ana
village property than in farms, though
the latter will bear part. An honest
effort appears to have been made TO APP
praise property at its real cash value as
the law requires The commission or
1906 found that it was placed at about
seventy per cent of its value four years
ago. If the lifting process has been talr
and uniform as between towns, and II
such changes in particular property as
have been made actually conform to con-
ditions that exist, there can be no talr
ground for complaint. larger grand
list means a lower tax rate and no mate
rial change in the tax levy for the same
public expenditure. The danger Is, how
ever, that deceived by a lower tax rate
and forgetting after a little what orough'
1t about, there will be unnecessary OF
wasteful OUTLAWS which will speedily re-
store the old rate. Figured on a swoller
appraisal even If a true one, this wouio
aau to the tax burden. The care OF TINS
matter rests with the voters and theli
servants, so-called, but often their mas
ters the officers who represent them'-

UNMARRIED AT WASHINGTON.

There is a reverse to the picture; that
life in the Capital will always possess an
attraction which cannot be defined, and
that routine work is not as wearing as
the uncertain rush of ordinary bust
ness" Wealthy people from all parts of
the country establish homes at Washing
ton TO enjoy the social season, and their
daughters are all eager to go, but the
young men remain al the old home at
tending to business and such young men
are seldom found in Washington. The
government service constantly enlists
women from all over the country who are
usually women of extraordinary ability
and highly educated. Many of them are
related to residents of Washington and
readily find work in the government SER
vice without having to go afield for it,
Naturally the matrimonial decadence
which Westinghouse lament ensues.
There are now 100000 people in the Cap
ital of marrageable age, but of these 3d.
600 men are officially declared bachelors,
and $1,000 women are unmarried with the
chances strong against them Ten
years ago there were many fresh pretty
girls at the desks in Washington; now
there are more mature faces steadily per-
forming the same daily tasks. Three out
of every ten government employees In
Washington are women, a percentage far
exceeding any government force any
where else in the world. The unwritten
law of the departments demands that the
woman who marries loses her position,
and it has been said that a woman worker
dislikes to give up a certainty for an I'M
certainty. Daughters of Congressman
and Senators may be included in this list
for the glamor of Washington society en-
chants them and they love to come here.

Boom in Beautiful NorthfeId.

There seems to be quite a boom in
Beautiful Mortified just at present, and
her prospects look better than they have
for years. To begin with, We can see
electric lights in the immediate future;
the state highway commission is doing
good work on our too long neglected trees;
real estate is exchanging hands frequent
ly, and, as a whole. general business has
been and is good; building operations are
well under way on the new high school
building and Memorial hall. the Sons Of
Veterans hall, the Red Mems hall, and
this week the clearing out OF the cellar
Of the building recently burned at East
Mortified was commenced, and soon
fine building will rise like Phoenix from
the ashes Crops, on the whole, have
been good and many farmers are contem-
plating improvements in buildings, ma
chinery and live stock. Summer resort
business was unusual large this year and
next season will undoubtedly find largely
increased accommodations for permanent
and transient guests.-GNorthfeld Press.

Fire at Herbert chamberIaln,s.

Mortified was visited Tuesday night BY
another disastrous fire, when Herbert
Chamberlain's buildings were destroyed
also two young horses, several pigs and a
quantity OF hay and other produce. Mr..
and Mrs. Chamberlain were alone in the
house and retired about s o'clock Soon
after II they were awakened by the fire
which was raging at the rear OF the barn.
Help came quickly and the men at the
hose did valiant service. The hydrant
was so far away that the buildings could
not be saved, but the house was cleared
Of all furniture. The buildings were IN
sured. The number ana extent OF fires in
Mortified during the past 10 years is
surprising, and seems altogether too large
for the size Of the town. The cause of
this fire is unknown. Mr. Chamberlain
knows that no one Of his family had been
near that portion of the barn for several
days with a lamp or lantern.

Althea. Billy watched them with unhappy
eyes. Somehow victory was not as sweet
as he imagined. To tell the truth, Billy
was a little ashamed of himself. He grew
more and more so as the evening ad-
vanced. At last he could stand it no
longer.
"Althea," he paused Althea looked
with growing surprise at his miserable
face. He swallowed the lump in his
throat and went on doggedly.
I can't stand it, Althea, to have you
look at me so gratefully. l know youll
never forgive me, butt thought you
would take me back If I found Buzz,
and" he sat up very straight and squar-
ed his broad shoulders as if to disOdge
their burden, "I-oh, Althea, he hasn't
been lost at all he's been shut in our
basement"
Poor Billy. He could not look at her;
he could not bring himself to face the ex-
preston of horror and grief and disap-
pointment that must be in her eyes. She
said nothing for moment. Her face was
buried in her hands; her shoulders were
shaking as if with silent sobs. Buzz
climbed upon Billys knee and affection
ately dug his claws deeper and deeper
into Billy, but his victim was too crushed
TO resent it.
Then Althea suddenly turned toward
him and hid her face against his shoulder.
His arms went around her. At this mo-
ment of establishment she seemed more
desirable than ever before. With a deep
sigh Billy gave up the situation. He was
no longer the proud strategist, but the
criminal awaiting sentence.
"Billy,"-Althea's voice was somewhat
muffied-"you have been such a dear to
own up and-well I-oh, Billy, 1 was
sorry and I missed you, and" desper-
ately-'I opened our hall window and put
Buzz-over on your roof-myself."-GF
