RooSEVELT's LETTER
TO VAN VALKENBURG
Ex-President's Declaration About 1912,
With Complete Context.


Washington March 1.-The Wash
ington Star today prints under New
York date what purports to be the full
text OF the letter written by Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, saying that no
would not be a candidate for the pres
identlal nomination in 1912. The let
ter, addressed to F. A. Van Valken-
burg, president and editor of the Phil
lows:
June q, 1911
My Dear Mr.. Van Valkenburg:
am really obliged to you. Now, will
you not give Mr.. McClatchy from me
a copysof this letter that I am writing
10 you, and also send copy of the
letter to Mr.. Frank B. Moves. Mr.. Nc
CATCHY states that Mr.. Noyes informed
him, anent the story sent out by the
| A. p that Mr.. Roosevelt had pledged
himself to support Taft for a second
term; that he (Mrl Noyesl had the
same information from sources entire
~ independent of those from which
the Associated Press received the
story.
Mr. Noyes states that he understood
that did so express myself to a mem
Der of the cabinet and also to an in
| surgent senator, and says that believes
! assurances Of support from me. Mr..
/ Noyes adds that he explains my denial
/ on the theory that I had explained my
/ attitude confdentially and felt en-
| titled to deny it when it was given
publicity.

of this letter. that Mr.. Moves is alb
solutely and completely misinformed,

truth in the statements made to him
which he thus repeated to Mr.. Nc
CATCHY. The only two members of the
cabinet to whom | have recently spok-

The former wrote me and the lat
ter informed me verbally, what in
each case I knew already, that neither
of them hade made any such statement
to Mr. Taft, or to any one else, and
that both of them understood perfect
~ clearly that I was not going to sup
port any man for the nomination in
1912, neither Mr., Taft nor any one

Q.-What is spirit BEING?

Answer.-It is q being. or creature
lnhabiting the spiritual realm. There
are several kinds of spirit beings men
toned in the Scriptures angels. cher
ubim, seraphim, and Divine beings. It
would be impossible to describe the ac-
tual appearance of a spirit being, as no
mortal eye has ever gazed upon the
person of a creature of the spiritual
realm. All that human beings have
been enabled to view of these mvste-
rious creatures were the materialized
forms which were assumed for the
time and for the purpose intended,
whether for good or for evil. AS ma
terialized human beings 1t is possible
for them to eat and drink and to per
form the various actions and functions
OF which the actual human being is
capable. Numerous instances are cited
in the Bible Of these spirit beings APP
pearing TO men and talking, convers-
ms and acting as members Of the
, race might do The assumed or ma
| terialized bodies were not the real bod
les of those angels that appeared at
different times The Lord Jesus in
describing the spiritual birth Of those
who will enter into the Kingdom of
| Heaven, used the Illustration of the
wind as representing the invisible pow
err and presence Of the spiritual condi-
lions, John ILL., s, y, H.

Lawrence, one of the editors of Votes

clared that the women would not hest

seorgia's State Chemist Praises
Cottolene

Mr.. J. H. McCandIess, State Chemist
Of Georgia, before a recent gathering,
gave emphatic testimony TO the high
quality of Cottolene. He said:
''The sale of this product (CottoIene),
and the proclamation that it is made
from cotton oil. have done more to bring
cotton seed oil truthfully and favorahly
before the public than anything else in
recent history"
Mr.. McCandIess then pointed out why
a pure, refined, vegetable-oil base, such
as is used in Cottolene, is the only as
surance that a woman has of clean,
digestible cooking product.

CIRCULATION
RATHER AGAINST HIS INcLlNA

Who does Colonel Roosevelt expect

and supporters. there would never
nave been o. combination Of seven
governors 90 urge him to announce
himself. Had le said. 7 am for Taft,

H-st one. LaFoIe,te would not have
been shelyed and Roosevelt explain
Iuc.
These seven governors who urged
him 10 respond even against his will,
MS be would have us believe, do not
.ook SO well I'm the political light.
Stubbs speaks for Kansas Taft
carried Kansas by $1,000, Stubs by
$1,000.
Aldrich speaks for Nebraska. Bryan
.arried Nebraska, mis- home state, in
1910. and Aldrich carried it because
Bryan was for him
Bass speaks for New Hampshire.
Taft carried New Hampshire by 49,
600. Bass by 1000.
Osborn speaks for Michigan. Taft
carried Michigan By 100000. Osborn
bv $1,000.
Hadley speaks for Missouri. He had
q larger majority in Missouri thar
Taft did, because OF splits in the
democratic organization.
Glasscock speaks for West Virginia
Tai, carried West Virginia by 10000
Glssscock by 1900.
Carey speaks for Wyoming. Taft
carried Wyoming by 5000. Carey
carried it By a majority slightly less
running on the democratic ticket.
There is nothing i'm this TO indicate
that one Of these governors Is speak
ing for the peopie-that they are mer
of power In the political field.
How weak Colonel Roosevelt look,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Something More Necessary.

Mr. Editor: The proposal of Mr.. w.
F. Hill that the women Of Norwich aid
in identifying it as "The Rose of New
England" is one worthy of high praise,
but the making Of a city beautiful
embraces a broader scope than the
mere culture of flowers and greenery.
When q visitor beholds ancient and
weather-worn buildings falling into a
state Of neglected decay, that person
is likely to receive the impression that
a great deal of shiftlessness is stalk
ing about. Norwich has many struc-
lures Of various shapes and sizes that
are now In this condition.
In those sections of the country
where whitewash is used for outbuild
ings exposed to the weather. also fenc-
ing, the effect is decidedly pleasing
But where paint seems to b the stand
ard preservative, paint should be used
to redeem some Of these buildings from

le instability. 1t therefore strikes the

but was a deliberate invention, made
out of whole cloth, without one parti-
Gle of basis beyond the imagination Of
the man who made it.
Il have expressed myself perfectly
freely to q large number Of men in
this matter, always to the same effect.

and those who were with you at lunch

Madison and Billy Loeb and Secretary
Meyer and Secretary Stimson, all alike,
just exactly what I have said always,
that I would not be q candidate in 1912
and that I had no intention Of taking
any part in the nomination for or
against any candidate.

reprovingly as Fannie flushed angrily
and opened her mouth to speak.
"At first Mrs. Brabee looked very
much surprised, Aunt Martha" con-
tinued Mary, "and then she said:

me YOU had sent us one of Mr.. Bra

away And then l saw"
Well it certainly seems to me that

least to make such a joke even in the

The painful silence which passed

is ROOSEVELT A VloLAToR OF
PROMISES?


At the west it is being proclaimed
that Colonel Roosevelt does not keep
his promises. LaFollette's manager,
Walter L. Houser says that Theodore
Roosevelt has broken his promise to
the Wisconsin senator in entering the
race for the republican nomination.
Mr. Houser says the Colonel promised
solemnly not to be a candidate and
urged LaFo1ette to get into the race,
and that it was largely because Of
the Inducements offered by Roosevelt
that LaFollette announced himself.
The Kansas City Journal, comment
ing upon this, says:
While he was in the running La
Toilette was vastly encouraged by the
Pnchot boosters. Pinchot helped him
70 campaign in several states. Gov
I ernor Stubs was an enthusiastic La
! Toilette partisan for a while, and
| many other insurgents who were &C
| tive in his cause deserted him with
| suspicious suddenness when the chos-
| en- time came for Roosevelt to declare
himself.
! Roosevelt has violated more prom
| lses imam any other man prominently
before the people; he has said more
things that were not true than any
! Of the men he nominated for the
Ananias club, and while preaching
decent politics he has betrayed his
friends and engaged in indecent in
trigue. II the followers of LaFollette
are sincere, it is hard to understand
! hDv
who has broken faith with and ousted
their candidate. and whose overween-
ing ambition has led him to ruthless
disregard Of the most honored prece-
| dents and most solemn pledges
