for full regulation of rates and SER
vice by the government. When Roos-
evelt allowed the formation of trusts
to carry out unbridled monopoliza-
ton of the great industries and the
natural resources of the country he
permitted robbery of the people upon
n monumental scale.
After having allowed the formation
of the trusts in plain violation of the
law and with their inflated capitali-
zations and freedom from govern
mental regulation how can Roosevelt
now expect the people to put him in
charge of the work Of regulating the
trusts ana of eventually taking them
over il found neveccary? Is the
policeman who stood passively by and
allowed the wealth to be taken pro-
per man to say what the culprits shall
do with their plunder?
Wouldn't it be better in this emer-
gency for the country to turn for aid
t, such men as Wilson, Bryan and La
Toilette who hold that a private mo-
ncpoly is indefensible and intoler-
able; that the antitrust law should
be enforced; stock watering prohib-
tied and regulation carried out on a
basis of actual valuations?
Most assuredly it would. If we are
to regulate the trusts the first step
should be to get the water out of the
stock. 1t would be foolish for the
government to regulate them and Of
ficially allow profits on inflated cap
italizations. Nothing would suit the
trusts better. 1t would also he fool
ish for the government to take over
the trusts at inflated prices. Such
1 proceeding would suit the trust mag
mates immensely. In this connection
it may be mentioned that the fact
the colonel is being strongly sup
ported by men like Perkins, Hanna
and Mccormick indicate the trusts
are not afraid but what they would
again fare we'll at his hands should
he be placed in power once more.
Progressives who may be thinking
o. supporting Roosevelt because of
his trust regulation views should
look up his record and thus find out
what they would be doing.
Senator Dixon, the coloners cam
paign manager, declares that Wilson
reached the height of
Dixon is Such his popularity five
An Accurate days after the Bal
Prophet! timore conv ention
had adjourned and
that he has since lost ground. That
would sound bad from a Wilson
standpoint had not Dixon's reliability
been tested some time ago and found
wanting. He is the gentleman who
declared with great emphasis just be-
fore the Chicago convention that
Roosevelt would be nominated, no
matter how the contests might be de-
cided. He declared Roosevelt had
$50 delegates more or less who
would stand by him through thick
and thin and that Taft had about 1870
upon whom he could count Dixon
also stated a day or two before the
convention that the New York dele
cation had slipped its leash and was
going over to the colonel-a prediction
that was notoriously unfullfilled.
Under these circumstances Dixon's
predictions of disaster for Governor
Wilson's candidacy appear favorable
To the New Jersey man, rather than
otherwise.

SAVED BY A DREAM.
The Vision That Came In Slumber
Warned Her From Death.


| have never had much faith in
dreams, but about a year ago | had
one which was the means of saving
my life, and since then l scott no
longer.
l dreamed one night that the figure
Of an old man dressed in black APP
preached me and asked, Are you
5eady? l, taking him for the "angel
of DEATH" shuddered and replied, NE"
and the figure vanished.
When l awoke and related the dream
to my mother she told me not to worry
over 1t, as bad dreams usually meant
good news.

visit a girl friend at her office in a
large office building. At the conclusion
OF the visit my friend walked with me
to the hail, where we waited fr the
elevator to take me down. When the
elevator car came to our floor I was
still talking to my friend, and the ele-
yator runner inquired, Are you
ready?"

COFFEE BERRIES.
Round Kernels Are Stronger and Rich
or Than Flat Ones.

er Than Flat Ones.
Everybody is more or less familiar
with the term male berry" applied to
coffee. The term refers to the form
and style. not the sex.
An examination Of any kind of coffee
will show that about one kernel In ev-
cry twenty-five is quite round, like a
bean, while all the others are fiat on
one side. like the half OF a split bean.
These round or male berries are always
found on the young. vigorous. new
wood OF the previous years growth at
the end Of the branches.
The old wood produces fiat berries
only. Each pod" or fruit Of the coffee
tree contains either two common dat
berries or but one round one. The
substance Of the fruit in the one case
all goes into the single male berry, aud
in the other II is divided among two
Fat ones.
This undoubtedly accounts for the
greater strength and richness OF the
male berry. In private plantations
where the trees are carefully pruned
and cared for and the ground well cul'
tivated and fortified. the coffee Is al
ways OF finer quality and the proper
ton of male berries is larger
The round berries may be seen In all
kinds OF coffee, Rio, Ceylon, Maracaibo
Mocha and other varieties contain
them ms we'll ms the Java. Exchange.

Potatoes In Vermont

We do not know how Vermonts po-
tatoes are rated, commercially with
the Aroostook tubers from which the
farmers OF northern Maine are max
ing fortunes, but there would seem
to be no reason in the nature Of
things why just as good potatoes can
not be raised here as in Maine and
just as many of them proportionately.
The comparison is suggested by a
statement in regard to potato-grow-
ers in Hyde Park, which we find in
the News and Citizen The state
ment concerns three farmers who live
within half mile of each other. OF
these Albert Whitcomb from 3 IL
acres raised 100 bushels of pota-
toes; Josiah Perry. from seven acres
raised 1900 bushels; and George jew
EFT, from II acres, had crop of $500
bushels. Mr. Jewett raised more po-
tatoes than any man in town, while
Mr. Whitcomb raised more, per acre
than the others From either point
Of view the figures are certainly en-
couraglng. They set a good mark
too, for potato-growers who have not
yet reached the Hyde Park standard

SOCIAL LIFE in FRANCE.
Wsmsn Equal Partners With the Men
In All Amusements.


Frenchmen cannot live alone; there
must always be an Eve in their para
disc. The bachelor party, which is
common feature in English social life,
Is unthinkable in France. How can
men enjoy themselves without women?
Woman is their enjoyment.
1t Is only the cold Engllshman who
wants to leave his wife at home while
be banquets or plays golf. The French
mans first essays in the royal and an
cient game are always accompanied by
a feminine retinue-his wife. his aunt
and his mother-in-law. 1t is only when
he makes progress In the game and
realizes the niceties Of its etiquette
that he consents to separate himself
for an hour or two from feminine So
ciety. Unless he plays advanced golf
he will always prefer his wife's society
on the links to that Of a man.
That is why club life is impossible
In Paris except clSb life of special
sort involving baccarat for high stakes
and appealing to rich and leisured
class. Yet In this case compensations
are offered to the offended goddess
momentarlly abandoned while her hus-
band goes to the "tripot." She is in
vited to weekly theatrical entertain
ments at the ub-entertainments pro-
vided for, by the way, by the card
money squandered by the men. And
the exhibitions Of all sorts that flourish
ut the clubs-nearly every one has some
artistic mlssion-are so many occa-
sions for the mingling Of the sexes

Dear SIR
Just before the war
clouds began to gather for the Civil
War, l was born near Charlestown,
jefferson County, West Virginia. My
father moved to the far West by rail-
way. steam boat and stage coach.
Since then, in all my career. have
watched with interest the State of my
birth. | glory in her history, and es-
pecially in the men and women it has
produced. The best product in West
Virginia today Is her noble men and
women.
write to congratulate you and the
entire State on the magnificent VIC
tory you have won in burying the
liquor traffic under your constitution
80 deep that it is not likely to lift up
its ugly head any more in that state.
And the bill now pending in Congress,
to be voted on December 10th OF next
month, will protect West Virginia from
the foreign invasion of liquor ship
ments. 1t takes true men and true
women to vote as your splendid people
did last Tuesday on this constitutional
amendment. And West Virginia stands
higher today in the estimation OF the
world than she ever did before. The
worst thing about saloon is the sa-
loon itself. 1t takes mighty bad
man to run saloon as it ought to be
run. One blot on American history
today is the fact that the saloon keep
ers, far from being good men, are the
only men who have certificate of
good moral character from the state.
No minister. no school teacher, no mer-
chant. no farmer, no business man,
however honorable and just and great,
has a certificate of moral character
from the state. 1t has remained in
the past to give this certificate to the
men who least deserved it.
Your taxes will now be less; your
schools and churches better attended;
your jails more empty; your insane
asylums will lose IS per cent of their
inmates soon; and your county poor
farm will be largely emptied as soon
as reaction is over.
My love to West Virginia and to
Jefferson County. place of my birth.
There sleeps in the cemetery of Charles
Town the remains of the noble man
after whom was named, who hated
liquor from his birth and discarded it
from his splendid country home, three
miles away.
Very sincerely yours,
G. w. EICHELBERGER.
