ROOSEVELT
IN VERMONT
Adds Interest to Campaign in
That State

Bennington, VT, Aug. 29.-The state
campaign. now nearing it's closing
hours, for the election comes next
Tuesday, received an additional i'm
petus today with the arrival of Roose-
welt for three days on the stump on
both sides of the Green mountains,
A number of progressive speakers,
notably former Senator Beveridge of
Indiana, and Clifford Pinchot of Wash
fngton, have been tilling the political
ground of Vermont for several weeks.
Roosevelt's activities in the state will
take him through the two congress
sionaI districts into four of the six
cities and eight of the largest towns.
If nothing interrupts his schedule,
he will follow his visit to this town
with speeches later in the day in Rut-
land, Middlebury and Burlington; with
speeches tomorrow at Stalbans, Nor
risville, Baron and Johnsbury, and
with closing remarks Saturday at
Barre. Randolph, Bellows Falls and
Brattleboro. While Roosevelt is ex-
pected to discuss national issues to a
great extent, it is also regarded as
probable that he will pay some at
tention to state candidates.

themselves took part in the killing.
Counsel for the defense had nothing

Washington, Aug. 29.--Anxiety is
expressed for Managua, in view of a
dispatch dated Monday which was re-
ceived at the state department early
today from American Minister Weitzei.
The dispatch mostly states that the
government had been informed that
another attack upon the capital would
be made by the rebels. Nothing Of
g. later date had been received at
noon today.
Adverse criticism OF the state de-
partment's central American policy
during the closing hours of the last
session of the senate, with inttma-
tions that an American army would
be sent to Nicaragua soon after con-
gress adjourned are believed by some
officials here to be the reasons which
actuated Taft in reyoking the order
sending the Tenth infantry from the
canal zone Of Nicaragua.

nients are practically agreed there Is
no technical difference between the
khaki clad soldiers and the marine OF

Chicago Record Herald: Values ~
he crops of the FIVE chief north
western states will aggregate over
$5o0,000.oOO this year.
New bumper crop records, particu-
1arly in wheat, are practically as
sured. according to statistics of the
Continental and Commercial National
bank and information gathered by its
vice president, Ralph Van Vechten.
Mr.. Van Vechten has returned to
Chicago from an automobile trip
through Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
and South Dakota and Montana.
With him were M. B. Cottree and F.
G. Wichett president and director re-
spectively Of the Drexel State bank.
Their account of the trip is a SER
mon Of optimism, prosperity pre-
iiction.
Values are Summarized.
The money value of crops in the
five states mentioned Is estimated at
$522, ,62S, 900. Following are the valu-
atfons for the various grains:

THE northwest country is a gar

Mr.. Van Vechten yesterday. "The
only problem will be for the western
farmer to obtain enough cars to ship
his products.
Abundant rainfall and lack of hot
winds that caused havoc last year
have brought ideal conditions. Crops
of North Dakota and Montana, par
ticularly the wheat crop, will be rec
ord breakers and in the other three
states the result will be far ahead OF
that last year.

AMERICA GETS VASTLY BETTER

THEM WELL.

Milwaukee, Aug. 29.-Frank B. Kel-
logg of st. Paul, was elected presi-
dent of the American Bar association
at 1:15 this afternoon, the other Off
GERS were reelected.
Milwaukee, Aug. 29.-Judges declar-
ed to be "scandalously under paid
some methods rather than to the
country were attributed to cumber-
some methods rather tahan to the
Judges by various speakers before the
American Bar association today.
Most of the criticism which has
started the movement for the recall OF
the judges results from the dissa It's
faction with the slow ways in when
the cases get through the courts SAID
Charles Blood Smith, of Kansas. This
tardiness is due to the modes Of pro-
cedure and not to the judges. 1t is
our belief that the recall of judges
is not necessary to remedy the causes
which have started the restlessness- 81
the public over judicial procedure
Improvement will be and is being
made"
Keep your judges from temptation,
said Henry D. Estabrook OF New York.
Occasionally a judge is found wanting,
because all Judges are uuLndn' am
inclined to think the judge should be
permitted no patronage whatever,
whereas we are forever thrusting upon
them powers of appointment because
we want assurance Of their greater
abilities and undoubted probity. There
should be no perquisites to a judicial
office, but in lieu thereof we should pay
the Judges salaries worthy their po-
sition. With few exceptions, our
Judges are scandalously underpaid. II
the people employed the best lawyers
we could find, at salaries worthy their
time and talents-like England, for ex-
ample-it would be money we'll in
vested. Many a man has become
crooked through trying to make both
ends meet. AS it is, we get infinitely
better Judges than we deserve"

Northwest Country IS
One Vast Garden Says
a Banker Of Chicago
Returns to Windy City After Trip through Five Northwestern
States Filled With Optimism
Estimates the Money Value Of the Crop in Five States at
Over 100000 .

q dion of South Dakota, and south
eern North Dakota that was COM
W dried out last year, is one
Y garden. There is q greater
w acreage and this is especially
trG Montana, where dry farming
is d p arried on most successfully
on fl grazing land.
Eve re we saw potatoes. The
crop off, Il will be great. We saw
fine corn except in Montana, which
is not a corn state. The fax, barley,
oats and rye, in fact all the crops, are
in excellent condition. And when
you remember that these statistics do
not take into consideration the value
of hay, dairy products or live stock.
you can readily realize that the out
look is excellent"
AS a result of this state of affairs,
the Chicago party learned. from
many bankers called upon, that the
northwestern states anticipate an in
crease in land prices. There will be
big crop returns to the farmer, and
he will buy heavily additional farm
lands. The members of the party do
not anticipate speculative activity.
Find Few Autos.
There is one little fact the Chicago
men consider striking. They had ex-
pected to find many automobiles, af-
fluent tillers of the soil riding in lux
urious Ears. But they found COM
paratively few automobiles and those
of the cheaper grades. This they
point out as conclusive proof that
the farmer is not ''auto- crazy" but is
just saving wood" and raising grain
The fine autos may come when har-
vest time is over.
Appeal for Harvest Hands.
Shortage of labor to harvest the
crops is already being feared. An ap-
peal for help was sent out yester.
cial club, which says that from zoe
to 800 men are needed near that
town alone. Wages of SO to $3.50 q
day are offered to harvest hands.
