PRESIDENT TAFT's NEXT TRIP

There is no doubt President Taft
loves travel and adventure or that he
values properly the presenting of ones
own cause to the people ably instead
Of leaving the work to spellbinders of
Indifferent ability.
1t is announced that the president
will make a tour of 1900 miles. visit
thirty three states and deliver 200
speeches. Six weeks will be given to
the discussion of the policies which
have been most prominently before the
public attention in the last few months
President Taft is no gutter; and he
does not hesitate to meet his oppon-
ents and to knock down the political
barriers they raise in different sections
of the country
The president. knows that the tariff
bills of the extraordinary session were
all politics. They were loosely drawn.
meaningless, and. when analyzed by
experts. found to promise no relief in
reduction of prices. Their authors did
not intend to lower the costs of living.
but to lower the standing of the pres
ident before the people.
The president has no apologies to
make to Changers, no qualified state
ments for the insurgents. He is going
west to tell the truth to the people
about the tariff, and it is safe to bet
that he will win.

A TURTLE STORY.
This One Had a Surprising Fondnsss
for Musk Melons.

In the spring of 1909, David Will
Jams, a visitor each year at the farm
of Mrs. Pelton. in the Penfield Hill dis
trict. Portland, planted large patch
of musk melons. With great diligence
he worked over that melon patch and
for his reward as nice bed of melons
that ever grew were found. All went
well until one day when he visited his
garden he found to his dismay that
several of the much coveted fruit had
disappeared He decided to watch and
try to apprehena the culprit. Several
days later his patience was rewarded
for he found a good sized turtle de-
vouring one of his fairest melons. Mr..
Williams took the turtle, cut the in
itials ID. W., 1907 in the under shell
and then carried the intruder about
one-half mile from the melon patch.
The year 1910 brought another ex-
cellent crop and again they disap-
peared mysteriously This time the
search was renewed and Mr.. Turtle,
the same one as of old. was found at
his old tricks again. This time some
extra trouble was taken to dispose of
the turtle when it was carried three
miles away by Arvid Olson the hired
man on the Pelton farm. Who felt
sure that the turtle would surely lose
track of the cherished melon patch
Not so. thought Mr.. Turtle, for the
melon patch planted in the same spot
in 1911 was just as attractive to him
and he was found enjoying the fruit
as in the two years previous. The in
itials and date were looked for and
found. This made three successive
years that the turtle had returned
Some visitors at the farm this time
took the turtle in another direction,
three miles distant. and they will
watch with great interest to note if
next year Mr.. Turtle will again be
seized with wandcrlust and land in
Mr. Williams, melon patch.

NOT PROFITABLE.

The flying tournaments in different
parts OF the country are not proving
profitable to the promoters; and as
aeroplaning becomes more and more
common they are likely to show great
er decline.
1t is announced that the loss at the
recent Chicago meet will amount to
nearly $4,000 in spite of the fact that
it was witnessed by a million or two
of persons. only a comparative small
proportion of whom found it necessary
to purchase tickets.
The Harvard Boston meet last year
had deficit of something like $4,000.
This year prizes amounting to $50, 900
are offered to attract the most sue
cessful flyers in the world.
Since the flyers can be seen far and
near it is difficult to collect gate ad-
missions; and it is not likely the sec
ond Boston experiment will show any
better results than the first

AFRAID THEY'LL STRENGTHEN
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.


The Ottawa Citizen is advising the
voters of Canada against the ratiica-
ton of the treaty of reciprocity, be-
cause they will by such action give
strength to the republican party.
The best way for Canadians to
make up their minds how they will
vote on reciprocity in few weeks
hence is to keep their attention fixed
upon the progress of political events
in the United States.
"The Washington dispatches to The
Herald state that the deadlock between
the presidential Casabianca and the
democratic tariff revisionists will tenn
porarily conclude next week, but on
the first Monday in December (after
the Canadian elections) the fight will
be resumed with a fierceness that will
excel everything in recent years.
Party lines will be drawn tightly, and
in making Sthe issues upon which the
presidential campaign of 1912 will be
fought the skirmishes of the present
session will be all but forgotten And
if President Taft can succeed in COM
hitting Canada to reciprocity in the
meantime, his position and that of the
republican party will be greatly
strengthened. 1t is even predicted
that the president will then lead a
tariff revision scheme that will take
the wind out of the sails of the
democrats, but in the meantime Can
ada may have forfeited any benefit
that would naturally result to us by
a general lowering of the American
tariff
The obviously prudent course for
Canada is not to allow itself to be
made a catspaw by President Taft but
to stand aloof until the George Wash
ingtons of the democratic party have
gotten through revising the tariff
cherry tree with their little hatchets.'

HERE 1T is AT LAST.
Sea Serpent, Missing All Summer, Is
Little Late in Arriving.

A despatch from Lake Waramaug,
New Preston, to the Winsted Citizen,
says:
1.-The great serpent of Lake Wara-
maug, after years of retirement in
gloomy Businesses that overlook the
lake, has again appeared among the
haunts of. men Berkeley Morgan,
whose place is the Mecca of local
fishermen, says that the monster was
twice seen last week. Two men (who
for their sins shall be nameless) were
enjoying a Sunday fishing trip August
s, and were startled by seeing. a hid
eous, immense head rear itself above
the water a few rods away and gaze at
them reproachfully. The head be-
longed to a gigantic serpent, and the
men say was as large as the head of
a calf. Three times the head emerged
from the water and then was seen no
more. Later in the week Mr. Morgan
was washing a boat by the lakeside
when he heard a splasIing in the
water to the northward but turned
too late to see aught except a wide
circle of eddying ripples. though two
girls from the Loomarwick hotel had
caught glimpse of an enormous SER
penis head.

lake is named. must have been an
