MT. Miller Comes Back.

Mr. Editor: Once more and then! ln commenting on the old mans" letter of March 5. you say:
 'I'rotAer Miller's regrets seem hu moTous Co Tho Bulletin. Colonel Roosevelt has g. right to change his mind. but that is not a good reason why The Bulletin should change it's mind and join the insurgents"
 Now, dear Bulletin, please weigh this matter In holding up the bull warks 0f liberty is not humorous ex- prcssions much preferable to the pO- htical depraviJy that dominates some of our editorial brethren who are so hard pressed for adiectives-w are addicted to fllnging dead rats and Kitchen slops-so to. speak-at eX- President RooseVelt.'
 Eut as 10 changes of mind: Senator Aldrlcn is now devoting his time in the senate to aiCing President Taft. Yet in the last campaign. MT. Aldrich refused 10 attend d convention which was due to nominate Taft. What is the reason, Some people carry al umbrella when it snoWs? What is the reason
 Again you say: George Washing ton never favored third term, and never uttered a word which can te fairly interpreted to show that he would favor third term. There is no crisis or emergency which calls for extraordinary action on the part of the voters of the country"
 Now. dear Bulletin in the conven- ton which made the constitution, re- garding necessary rotation in the pres idental office, George said; "Inelgi- bility of the same person for pTesi- dent after ne should have served a certain course of years should be se- riously considered as to the necessity or eXpeuiency of rotation in office That is why Georges old clothes won't fit those who argue against third terms.
 But, tight here. breaking in. allow me to quote from The Bulletin of to- day:
 Roosevelt and his campaigners are saving so many things that are not so, that the campaign is taking on the real Ananias cOmpleXion."
 | do hope The Bulletin brother does not include the "old man. in the above sWat-egoTioai, as diversity of opinion can never divert the old mans respect for The Bulletin outfit. But to return To the subject under discus sion.
 Had Washington lived he would probably have oeen elected president for a third term. He was getting around to that when he died, and it's tune we were catching on.
 With Roosevelt for third term, CT for life, 10 improve the country, what difference does it make?
 The sover ign people are not taking the Roosevelt reform movement as a joke and they have some rights in the matter that the opposition cannot well overlook. Just now the American bird' is just flutreriEg over the vain" at Washington, failing to light while the crow is so apparent-so appar- ent, J. w. MILLER, Jewett City. Conn.
 T notice Mir. Miller has no respect for the words of Washington concern- ing a third term, which the people have hOnOrsd for l35 years and refused to extend the service of the chief executive every time they have been appalled, to thus honor an over" "ambi- tious aspirant. He takes no notice o1 the fact that the aggregate capital o1 trusts when Roosevelt took the pres idency in 1901 was above S3,000, ,000 000 and when he left it Tn 1908 it was ovel &31 GOO 900 .00G--Or had been increased fully line times. The liberties of the people now are not in danger any mere than they were when Roosevelt was president and master of the DO lticdl machinery. compelling his party to accept his noninee as his success s0r. md they will be no greater than they be now should he be elected When it was necessary for Mir. Roose- welt to ignore the people and the right in the Panama issue and in the Brownsville trouble he did so with out apparent disturbance of his con- science. Colonel Roosevelt We judge by his record and it cannot be thrown down.
