FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 80. leIa
my Hat IS in the Ring" Says Roosevelt

Not in many years have the people Of
these United States been wrought up
with expectancy as they were with what
Theodore Roosevelt would say in his
speech before the Ohio constitutional
convention Wednesday, February 2lst.
Il was generally expected that he would
announce his candidacy for the Tepub-
hcan nomination for the presidency.
This he did not do in his speech, but
before leaving Columbus ne said TO an
Ohio political friend who pressed him
for a direct answer, Ny hat is in the
ring. You will have my answer Mon
day." which is taken to mean that ne
will announce his candidacy.
His speech before the constitutional
convention fairly bristles with progress
sive political ideas. He announced
himself as unequivocally in favor Of the
selection of delegates to the national
conventions by direct vote, the popu-
lar election of United States senators,
the initiative and referendum and indi-
Gated that he would favor extending
the recall to judges if expediency in
dicated that it was necessary 10 carry
on, the viii Of the majority. OF the
recall Of Judicial decisions he said.
But there is one kind of recall in
which very earnestly believe and the
immediate adoption Of which I urge.
When Judge decides constitutional
question. when he decides what the
people as 4 whole can or cannot do,
the people should have the right to re-
call tia, decision, it they think i;
wrong. We should hold the judiciary
in all respect: but it is both absurd and
degrading to make fetish of judge
or Of any enc else. "
The speech is one Of the most radi-
cally progressive documents yet put be
fore the public and vii give the cause o.
progressive republicznism a great boost.
I, rings clear and true and viii fall on
wiling and sympathetic ears.

A Standpat Decision by a StandpaI
Judge

On the twentieth OF this month Unit
States Circuit Judge William B. Gil
bert. of Oregon, sitting at San Francis
co, rendered decision in the notorious
Barber Lumber company timber grab
bing cases in which Governor Steunen-
berg, now dead, and many other prom
inent Idaho people were involved. In
1912 this company acquired a large
body Of valuable timber land in the
Crooked river valley through what is
known as dummy entymen. The
lumber company entered into contract
with 10, Of poor devils to provide
themsswith money to file on and prove
I'D on land pointed out by thel lumber
company, the entrymen agreeing TO
convey title to the land al ridiculous
IL low price, as soon as patent was OBJ
tanned trom the government, to the
lumber company. Judge Gilbert's de
cision is regarded as severe blow to
the conservationists. Il makes lawful
the use Of dummy entrymen TO secure
title TO the public domain. Unless it
can be shown that the purchaser had
knowledge that the dummies were
fraudulent title will not be disturbed.
The judges decision certainly makes
land looting easier.

Barnett, Ostrum and Turner ap-

will executed by Hawkins. (which was
offered for probate. The county
court found that Hawkins did not pos

and declined to make the necessary
order. This was appealed to the dis
trict court of Hughes county, where
the probate court was reversed and
an appeal followed to the supreme
court.
One of the issues from the district
court was the introduction of testi-
mony regarding the making OF wills

cited, is an attorney. Ostrum is

Several Buildings Destroyed With
Loss of $4,000.

Durant, Okla. May 15.-Fire of un-
known origin did more than $4,000
damage at Albany, twenty miles
southeast of Durant, about midnight
last night. The blaze started in a
hall over J. c. Worthy's general store,
used by both Masons and Woodmen
as a lodge room. The blaze quickly
spread to the Albany drug store, the
Albany State bank and Ben Williams
barber shop, all of which We're to-
tally destroyed. The insurance is
equal to about half the loss.
The Albany State bank was looted
in a bold daylight robbery about
year ago and about $4,000 taken.

One of the most used implements of
a farm is the smoothing harrow, yet
how few farmers ever reverse the
teeth or have them sharpened. yet
with sharp teeth the work which the
harrow does is much more satisfac-
tory than when the teeth are short
and dull.
AT least, nothing adds more to the
appearance of vehicle than a fresh
coat of paint A machine may be in
good repair and yet look dilapidated
for the lack of a little paint. Paint
will preserve and lengthen the life
OF all wooden parts of machine
In closing let us look at the eco
nomical side of the proposition. The
capital invested by the average farm
er for farm machinery with which to-
handle 100 acres of land is approx
mately $500. If on an average the
life of this machinery is seven years,
the depreciation will be approx
mately IA per cent This means a
loss of 500 annually. If on the other
hand, by careful housing and repair
in, it can be economically used for IA
years, the depreciation is approx
mately per cent, which means a
saving of sos annually. A saving
Of sos annually for IA years, with
interest at the rate of per cent per
annum, means a saving of $22S0. or
$3.50 for machine shed and shop,
and $4,000 bank account instead of
nothing but an increased scrap pile,
as in the former case.

you think of a man who would buy

then throw them in corner in the
back yard until the next time he had
occasion to wear his best suit Com
pare this man with the one why buys

the binder into IA corner Of the field
