Washington, January g.
NOT NEWS TO TAFT.-Two prominent
members Of Congress said at the White
House to-day that they had told the Presi-
oent that. after long talks with ex-Presi-
cent Roosevelt they were convinced he
had no intention OF permitting his nomina-
ton for President this year. This was not
news TO the President, who has consistent
ly refused to believe that Mr.. Roosevelt
would entertain the idea of being the Re-
publican nominee, and who regards the
EFFORTS which are being made in some quar-
ters 20 smoke out" the colonel as In eX-
tremely bad taste. Indeed, the President
has taken occasion more than once to
emphasize the fact that no one close to
him was engaged in any such unseemly
performance and that none of his friends
would do so with his approval Mr.. Taft
is man OF deeply rooted affections, once
he has given them, and not only has he
long cherished n sincere regard for Mr.
Roosevelt, but he has a sincere respect
for him. He feels that Colonel Roosevelt
should be wholly free to entertain and to
express his convictions on public questions,
whether those convictions coincide WIN
those OF the administration or not. In
some instances he believes Mr. Roosevelt
has been misled by those who, with ulterior
motives, have abused his confidence; but,
on the other hand. he has deep sense OF
gratitude TO Mr.. Roosevelt for the part
played by him four years ago in promoting
Mr.. Tafts nomination, and 1t VIII take
more than few explosive denunciations
Of certain Taft policies 10 shake the con-
6dence of the President in the character
Of his former friend. One Of the members
Of ,he Presidents Cabinet remarked only
this week that never had the eX-President $
name come up in the Cabinet without
clicjtinC some expression of regard from
Mr. Taft, and once when friend VINO
was dining with the President uttered some
criticism Of Mr.. Roosevelt, the President
gently reprovcd him. with the remark thal

responsibility OF the Presidency was ireed

SOME EXPLANATIONS Recent events
have served to revive the discussion Of the
apparent differences between President
Ia II and his predecessor, and close friend
Of both declared to-day that they were not
at all difficult to understand because. while
both men cherish tho same ideals. the
methods by which they would accomplish
them arc so radically different. 1T il quite
inconceivable to Mr.. Roosevelt. said this
man. that the President could be almost
humiiiatad hy his secretary and not
instantly dismiss him. And yet this
has occurred 10 Mr.. Taft IN tne
past. and he has not only refralned
from dismissing the offending secretary but
has been convinced that, having made ono
egregjous error, he would profit by the eH-
perience and would make no more. so 100
II is doubtless inconceivable 10 Mr.. RooSe-

VERMONT IMPROVEMENT
ASSOCIATION NEWS
Agricultural

Mr.. John l.. Sherman, the United
States Government farm expert has
come to Bennington equity and began
work Monday morning. Bennington
County is the first County in the State
of Vermont to have such an expert in
the field, and the third one in New
England. Maine was the first State
in New England to have such an ex-
pert in one of it's counties and Massa-
chusetts the second. This brings
Bennington County and Vermont in
the front rank of progress along this
line in New England. The West has
done more in this matter than the
East. Michigan alone has FOURTEEN
such experts at work in the State.
Mr.. Sherman will begin work at
once to visit the farmers and to have
conferences with them. He ought to
become strong factor in the deyel-
opment of the agricultural resources
in our county. Mr.. Sherman is re-
ported to be one of the ablest on the
staff. 1t is reported that he stood
first in the civil service examination
for New England. He has studied
farming in tht East, the middle West
and the far West. He has first hand
knowledge of the cooperative work
that is being done on the Pacific
Coast as well as in the Middle West.
The farmers are continuing to or
ganize and to get ready for solid work
here in Bennington County, The far
mers that have been thus far elected
as members of the executive commit
tet are as follows:
Dorset, Moses Sheldon, Ed Morris,
Ernest West; East Dorset, j. NJ. Bee
be, A. J. Gormley; Manchester, Geo.
Read, Charles Randall, J. H. Dimond;
Peru, F. r. Crossman, E. C. Simonds,
Frank Williams; Rupert, Samuel A.
Hay Ernest Beebe, Philip Roberts;
Sandgate, Fred Bentley, w. c. Peck,
Clifton Mears; Sunderland, Ernest
Hard, Jerome Hill, w. S. Holt.
The mass meetings will continue to
be held in other towns where the exc
cutive committees have not as yet
been elected. 1t is gratifying to note
that not one man who has thus been
chosen at the mass meetings has re-
fused to serve or has even as much
as suggested unwillingness to serve.
