The Nomination at Chicago.

Violating all honorable principles,
which no person correctly made would
have permitted, dishonest nomination
was given Mr.. Taft as candidate of the
Republican party for President.
1t naturally follows that the question
as to the next President lies between
Mr. Roosevelt and the democratic nomi-
nee.
The talk about third term, the
principle argument, if not the only one
that has been used against Mr.. Roose-
welt is all false; there is no third
term. Mr.. Roosevelt was nominated
for this office only once, and elected.
Mr.. Mckinley died in Office at the time
MIR. Roosevelt was Vice President, and,
according to the Constitution, Mr..
Roosevelt became President during Mr..
McKinley's unfinished term. There
was no alternative. Then, instead
of using the advantage of his position
to run again, he refused to be a
candidate; and probably never would
have been if the policies which he inau-
gurated for the benefit of the whole
people, not one of them personal, had
been carried out. They were not
carried out, but instead Mr.. Taft, whom
Mr.. Roosevelt by his great influence,
succeeded in having nominated for
President, to succeed himself, went
back on his pretended principles, if not
on his word, for the bauble of an Office.
We trust that Vermonters will make
no mistake in their vote. With very
little effort she sent two delegates for
Mr.. Roosevelt to Chicago and would un-
doubtedly have sent the whole had the
matter been at all canvassed. At the
Middlebury caucus special effort was
mnde to get the Taft vote to the
caucus, none whatever by any other
party. But in the whole there were less
than one-fourth of the Republican voters
that attended. The blame for this was
partly due to the Republican committee
who failed to properly advertise the
meeting, and also to have the Town Hall
ready for it. This may have been
done purposely; we do not know.
We do know that the Town Hall being
let that evening to some passing show,
the town meeting, perhaps the most
important of the entire year, had to be
held in small room under the Town
Hall.

Auto Turns Turtle.

Mineola, L. L., July lone of the
most peculiar automobile accidents that
have happened here in some time oc-
curred:last night, and by some streak
of good luck, no one was injured, al
though the heavy. Panhard machine
turnedIupside down.
The automobile belonged to M. W.
Monday of Manhattan, who had let his
chauffeur, Fred E. Nichols, use it for
the day. Nichols had his wife out, and
two friends, Lawrence Marsh and
Catharine Marsh.
The car was bowling along from Ros-
Ign and when near the Mineola Fair
Grounds, Nichols saw that the road had
a dead end but did not have time to
turn safely. He took a chance and
turned sharply tot the left, when the
machine skidded, then turned turtle,
landing on the top. with the wheels in
the air.
Nichols was thrown clear, while the
women We're caught beneath the ma
chine, DISQUALIFICATION and George
H. Coyle, the latter horseman, living
near the scene of the accident, raised
the car and rescued the women from
their position
Nichols ran two miles to East Willis
ton and there saw an automobile and
told itsWoccupants that he was from
Manhasset, where he secured another
automobile and a doctor, and returned
to the scene of the accident. 1t was
feared that he had been temporarily
deranged and Officer Seaman placed him
under arrest for reckless driving and
the owner of the car was communicated
with, Nichols being held pending his
arrival. The rest of the party were
taken to the home of Frederick E. Dow
nearby.

POMONA GRANGE FINANCES.
Methods Suggested For Raising Funds
For the County Grange.

How shall the Pomona grange obtain
its finances? IS question which some
times arises for discussion. There is
one Of three ways-charge members an
initiation fee, or an initiation fee and
yearly dues, or let each subordinate
grange pay per capita dues to the
Pomona grange. A Pomona grange
does not need large sum of money in
its treasury, and yet a comfortable
fund for exigencies is desirable. We
believe that the initiation fee of 80
cents per member will be found to
be sufficient for all needs of most Po-
mona oranges, and this surely is a
most convenient arrangement for pro-
curing the finances of the county
grange. If we have a per capita tax
for the Pomona grange and a state
grange per capita tax there would be
but little left for the subordinate
grange, and II annual dues are charged
members of the Pomona grange 1t
would require a very considerable
amount Of labor on the part Of the
secretary Of the Pomona to see that
these dues were collected. Where the
initiation fee is made the sole source
of revenue the Pomona grange should
not admit to its meetings any fourth
degree member who has not taken the
fifth degree. In other words, to open
a Pomona grange on the fourth degree
and perform all the work IN that de-
gree except initiation of candidates
would be to give over the advantages
of the Pomona grange to subordinate
oranges. whether members of the Po-
mona or not.

Three Collisions at Far Rock

John H. Seaman, II years old, son of
Richard H. Seaman of Hewlett, L. l.,
while riding along Broadway, Wood
mere, Sunday, was struck and seriously
injured by an automobile owned by
Otto. Kruger of East Rockaway. Sea-
man was riding toward Hewlett on his
bicycle, when Kruger's automobile, the
second of long line of cars, proceed
ing toward Far Rockaway, suddenly
swerved out of the line to the left, in
order to pass the car ahead. Seaman
was hit by the radiator, thrown over
the hood and through the glass wind
shield, and after landing in the body of
the car rolled out on the road. William
Michaelson, the chauffeur, was un-
injured.
When Seaman was picked up his chin
was almost severed, his right arm was
bleeding profusely, and he had sus-
tanned fractured thigh. DR.. Rhode,
fearing that the boy would bleed to
death, tied up his arm with piece of
rope and hurried him to st. Joseph S
Hospital, distance of six miles, where
his condition this morning was reported
as favoring recovery.
Samuel Ross, 25 years old, of Law
renee. L. l., while riding bicycle on
Oak street, near Broadway, Far Rock
away, yesterday afternoon, was struck
by an automobile owned by Marion
Howell of 1903 Broadway, and driven by
the chauffeur, Edward Goodman, both

confusion of the right thigh. and was
removed to st. Joseph's Hospital.

Auto Hits Tree Durins Race.

Poughkeepsie, June 20. Shooting up
into the air while running at the rate of
rs miles an hour, racing car driven by
John Gernon, a prosperous garage
owner of Rhinebeck, struck a tree II
feet from the ground, turned over and
was completely wrecked. Gernon was
thrown under the car when it fell to the
earth. He died an hour later.
Gernon had been urging his high
powered racing car to its utmost in am
effort to outstrip Jacob Rupert, jr.,
son of the well known brewer, who was
riding a motor cycle several hundred
yards ahead of him.
Rupert, who did not see or hear the
accident, looked back, saw the cloud of
dust rise and envelop the machine and
thought tire on his friends machine
had blown out.
He laughingly turned his motorcycle
and went back where the automobile
lay. When the dust settled he became
aware of the tragedy. Gernon was
pinned under the collapsed front wheels
of the car, with the weight of the heavy
engine resting on his chest.
Gernon's pretty, young wife was with
him when he passed away, and he recov-
cred consciousness just long enough to
recognize her and bid her good-by.

COLLEGE FARM TRAINS.
Railroad Companies to Remove Their
Names From Cars.

One Of the projects which resulted
from the running OF the agricultural
special trains in New York state is the
possibility of the railroads of the state
furnishing the State College of Agricul-
ture with about twenty-five steel YES
thule cars through mutually salts
factory arrangement, eliminating the
names of the railroads from the cars
and substituting the New York State
College of Agriculture, these cars to be
equipped by the college with perma-
nent apparatus to demonstrate vari-
GUS phases Of farm work.
There will be ten subjects or more
and when there is a call from some
section of the state for advice on some
particular subject the car containing
that information will be moved by reg
ular train service from Ithaca to that
point, no matter what part of the state,
there to be sidetracked for Il period
of a week or ten days, where profes-
sors from the college may discuss these
subjects with the communities If they
will avail themselves of the opportu-
nifty of attending. This brings the ex-
tension school feature of the college
to the community direct instead of
those communities going to the col
lege at Ithaca and should serve their
purpose. It is an aggressive move and
one from which much may be ex-
pected
