The talk about third term is without
significance, as Mr.. Roosevelt never
had but one election to the Presidency.
In accordance with the Constitution,
he filled out the vacancy caused by
the death of President Mckinley, was
nominated and elected President and
after refused second nomination. Had
Mr.. Taft carried out the Roosevelt poll
cies, which were all in the interests of
the nation, it is understood that
Mr.. Roosevelt would not at present
have been a candidate. But Mr.. Taft
went back on all of these; turned
out Mr.. Pinchot, man of high char
acter and large wealth, who had been
appointed Forester by Mr.. Roosevelt,
and appointed another agent that soon
had to be turned out because of his
unfitness and dishonesty. In fact, on
account of the incompetency of GER
tain executive officers, the United
States has failed to acquire and pre-
serve extensive forest lands as pro-
vided for by Congress, simply through
failure to draw upon the appropriation
when it was available.
Certainly you do not want to make
that kind of a swap in your candidates.
Mr.. Wilson we think is unquestion-
ably an honorable man, and might make
very good President; but he has had
no experience in these lines, and at
this time we want and must have, if
possible, the very best, a candidate
who is thoroughly equipped for the
position.
There can be no question but that
at the time Mr.. Taft was nominated,
he favored Mr.. Roosevelt's views, else
Mr.. Roosevelt would not have favored
him as candidate for the Presidency. 1t
is equally evident that he went back on
these views, and evidently was tempted
to do so by promises of second nomi-
nation from leading politicians at Wash
ington, whose lives are spent largely in
arranging politics to suit their aims;
that is in controlling politics.
Because of this is it that they are
now fighting Mr.. Roosevelt in every
possible way. Because of his interest
in the Nation is it, that Mr.. Roose-
welt is fighting them to finish.
The Green Mountain Boys, so far as
we know all over the State, are organ
izing for new deal. Every day adds to
their votes, and we believe that when
the election comes they will be we'll
ahead.

A Virginia dairyman found one of
his mild eyed bossies acting strangely
the other day. On reporting the cir
cumstances and symptoms somewhat
carefully to the department Of agricul-
ture at Washington. II was decided that
her ailment was a jag induced by
drinking the juice from fermented
cornstalks which she got at the base
of silo. Since this case was reported
there have been a number like it else
where. If the dairy cows go on a toot
like this 1t is possible that the hired
men and proprietors may catch the
habit ~

August is the best month in all the
year for girdling and killing trees like
the willow This seems to be due to
the fact that the energy of the root
system seems to be largely spent in
the growth of limb and leaf up to
that time, and If the bark is removed
for a space of foot or more entirely
around the trunk it sort of leaves the
root system strapped and bankrupt
If the girdling is done in June or early
July there will be an effort on the
part of the tree to send out shoots be-
low the point of girdling from dormant
buds
