Scene of the Republican Convention "BARKS IS WMLNG"

Through newspaper correspond
ents known as Mr.. Roosevelt's init
mate friends the country has been
favored with statements of Mr.
ltoOsevelt's attitude toward the third
term movement.
Mr.. Roosevelt AYERS that he is not
. candidate in the sense OF seeking
the office. He wishes everybody to
believe that if he consulted his own
interest or preference he would say
outright that he would not accept
a nomination, and that he doesn't
say it because "A high sense of duty
compels him to disregard his own in
terest.
Therefore if the people insist that
he undertake the presidential task
asain Mr.. Roosevelt is ready to obey
the mandate and become willing
sacrifice upon the altar of public
duty He will take third term if
the people insist
In other words, Mr.. Roosevelt
wants to be president again-he
wants the third term that Washing
ton refused and that was refused
even to Grant-but he doesn't want
to be in position where he can be
pointed at as an aspirant rejected by
his party. Mr.. Roosevelt shrinks
from the risk that Grant accepted
with quiet courage.

". S. ROGERS
ANOTHER PIONEER

Another pioneer has been laid
away beneath the sod. w. S. Rogers
died Thursday. Feb. 8. at foul
O'Clock a. m, after a lingering illness
covering a period of fifteen years
The funeral took place from the
Baptist church Sunday at II a. m.
the funeral eulogy being delivered
by Rev. NJ. II. wager, pastor.
Mr.. Rogers was born in Alabama
September Z, 1910. From his ma
tive state he moved to Texas and
lived there several years prior to
moving to this valley in 1886. He
settled on claim on the Nahum,
which he sold some ten years ago
and move to Gle Elum where his
sons, w. W., Eugene and Vernon,
were employed by the N. w. |. COM
pany. Two years ago he moved
back to this city. He was well
known throughout the valley as an
honest, conscientious christian
gentleman and to know him was to
respect him.
He was a man of more than ordi-
nary ability as writer and his ar
ticles were always readable, showing
much thought. He was not sur
face skinner, but a man of depth.
He left three sons. w. w., Eugene
and Vernon, and three daughters,
Mrs. Robert Hepburn, Mrs. John
Yearwood and Mrs. Omar Davidson,
to mourn his death. He was con-
scious to the end, recognized every
one present and before the end gave
his wife words of consolation and
likewise each of his children. He
said he was ready to die and was go
ing to heaven, dying in the full hope
of glorious resurrection and a
victorious triumph over death and
the grave.
For many years Mr.. Rogers was a
regular contributor to the columns
OF The Dawn under the nondeplume
of "Old Greenhorn." and while a
few knew who it was, many read his
articles that to this day do not know
that it was Mr.. Rogers product, and
many read and certainly enjoyed his
pungent words. He criticised when
he thought it necessary and did 1t
fearlessly and praised those whom he
thought deserved. Peace to his
ashes.

RULES TO OBSERVE
IN PRUNING
AN ORCHARD

Now that the season Of tree prun-
ing has arrived and most growers are
pruning, or will do 80 soon, we pre-
sent some hints from an experienced
tree farmer:
There can be no fixed rules to OBJ
-erve in regard to the pruning of
trees for the primer will have to use
i judgment in all cases. However
e. following principles may be fol-
lowed and are applicable to most
fruit growing sections according to
horticultural authorities.
+. All crossing limbs should be
removed. This will facilitate spray
ing.
2. Prune to encourage the pro-
duction of fruit rather than wood.
3. Prune to prevent the off
year habit" in trees.
A. Prune to prevent the lower
limbs from hindering circulation.
and the upper ones from growing
cut of easy reach for spraying and
picking
5. Prune to prevent too compact
or too strong a growth Of top
Some prune their trees just at ANY
old time" with more or less success.
This method of procedure is not to
be encouraged. With pruning, as
with al ost anything else, there are
times the year that are better than
Other times when the tree will re-
c, rom the operation with less
II, lie effect. The season for
= may be best divided into
what Is known as winter pruning
or summer pruning. For some
reason not easily explained, winter
pruning has been more generally
'1acticed than summer pruning until
gently.
Summer pruning is becoming more
popular and should be done in July
or early August At this time, in
most sections, the trees have finish
ed growing, but still there is flow
of sap sufficient to heal the wounds
The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1912-02-15

and to enlarge the buds that are
formed SO as to increase the number
Of fruit buds. If the pruning is
done before the tree has ceased
growing it will result in the growth
of shoots instead of the formation
OF fruit buds. If summer pruning is
practiced the tendency is to produce
fruit instead of wood. This state
ment is borne out by experiments
conducted by the horticultural de-
partment of the University of Idaho.
Ten apple trees of the Jonathan var
iety were experimental on, covering
a period of five years. The winter
pruned trees produced an average
yield of 25.2 pounds per tree. while
the summer pruned trees produced
all average of 1913 pounds per tree.
If large branches are to be re-
moved, care should be exercised not
to leave the stub too long, nor to
make the cut any longer than is abb
solutely necessary.
If the orchard is an old and ne
elected one, it is best to bring the
trees back to the state of bearing by
pruning them small amount each
year for three years. If they are
pruned too much the first year, there
will be tendency, due to the pres
ence of an over-supply of sap, to
form wood or small shoots, instead
OF the production of fruit.
When the tree is planted, an effort
should be made to balance the roots
ana the top. For the ordinary
planter the apple trees should be
about five feet high, and at least
three-quarters of an inch in dame
ter. There should not be over five
or six branches left on this size Of
tree. When the roots have been
torn or broken by handling, they
ought to be trimmed off smoothly.
A low head affords good protect
ion for the body or trunk of the
tree is less subjected to high winds.
The tree is more easily sprayed.
pruned and fruit gathered with less
expense from a low headed tree than
from the old-fashioned high top
style.
Where large branches are removed
il is best to use about two coats of
good white lead paint to prevent de-
cav. Paint is better than grating
Wax for large wounds, but grating
was does very we'll for small branch

A WORD OF WARNING

The experience of history shows
that free government once estab-
lished can be preserved only by the
Individual standing upon his rights,
o. more pointedly speaking, keeping
government at arms length. This is
a thing entirely consistent with the
highest loyalty to government. A
small encroachment of arbitrary
power by government leads quite in
evitab bly, if suffered without Opposi-
ton, to greater and greater ones, and
to a multitude of them, ending in
the temporary or permanent des-
tructiOn of free government-Mayo

lions demanding the reduction of all
freight and passenger rates and the
immediate arrest and Imprisonment
of all railroad presidents. These
problems must be settled by intelli-
gent study, not by bitter political
campaigns. The railroad officials
will have to admit the right of states
to know and study facts properly
and in the right spirit. The public
will have to admit the right of rail
ways to reasonable profits, as wei!
as their right to rest their case upon
facts in sober tribunals and not upon
theories or hasty judgments of state
legislatures moved by political feel
ing.
You can't reduce the revenues of
railroad by unfriendly legislation
and increase its operating expenses
by the same power without wrecking
1t.
The administrative tribunals
which find it popular to regulate rail-
roads owe it not only to the country,
but to the railroads to grasp the sig
nificance of official figures.
"A tribunal that establishes con-
fiscatory facts is acting just as dis
honorably as a railway that estab-
fishes unjust rates.
THE political officer who believes
he can fix railroad rates out Of his
own head, is just as dangerous as the
doctor who seeks to diagnose case
of chest trouble without the aid of
the stethoscope and the other instru-
mentalities which govern diagnoses.
1.-The rate making tribunal which
does not approach it's task with the
same grave concern that character
ICES careful railroad management is
destructive. Official regulation of
railroads will be curse unless it
considers it's duty two-fold, providing
conditions under which railroads can
grow is just as important as provid-
ing for equitable rates and proper
service.
You cannot cripple the railroads
without Gripping the Industrial
progress of the country.
1.-The figures given out from the
official source. tell their own grave
story and point the need for intelli-
gent and honest cooperation be-
tween railroad officials and rate
making bodies"

SAFE AND SANE
BUSINESS POLICY

A review of the proceedings of
state legislatures during the past
year evidences a general disposition
t. take a rest from railroad legisla
ton The states are more interest
ed in inspiring confidence among in
vestors, for the purpose of encour-
aging new consi uction and improve
ment, than in passing drastic regu-
lative laws. There was decrease
of 80 per cent in the number of new
l"l as compared with 1909, and
there was at the same time mark
cd change in the tone of the govern
ors' messages. Give the railroads
2 rest is summing up of a number
of messages.
Four states which have been most
active in railroad observation-disclosures,
Oklahoma, Alabama and Iowa--elect-
ed governors pledged to treat bust
ness and transportation enterprises
fairly and constructively. Alabama
repealed law FORGETTING the fran
chise of any foreign railroad corpOr-
alton which appealed to the federal
courts from a state-made rate. Tex
as, Georgia and Delaware passed no
railroad laws. Twenty-Five states
passed laws designed to encourage
construction. Nine states, including
Oregon, passed new regulative laws,
but several of these had previously
had no regulation or most inefficient
regulation, as in California.
This new era in railroad legisla-
ton was marked by and largely the
product of a spirit Of Cancellation on
the part of the railroads themselves.
Thus a new law in Illinois, charging
the powers of the railroad and ware
house commission, was the result of
all open conference, in which all ele-
ments, including the railroads,
reached agreement. Instead of OPP
posing, in the legislatures and the
courts, all measures aimed at their
regulation, the railroads now show
a disposition to be frank and fair
and to cultivate the friendship of the
public They are coming to regard
state commissions rather as impair
tial tribunals to stand between them
and the people and to enforce fair
dealing on both sides than as devices
to harry them.
Application of the same policy of
Cancellation, by the public and the
interests affected, to the settlement
of the tariff, trust and money ques-
tons would bring about a perma-
nent adjustment of business cOndi-
lions and go far to bring about that
business from politics.
: New York amended her law by lay
ing down the principle that rates
should be sufficient to allow the ac-
of surplus out of
earnings.
This change of attitude towards
each other on the part of railroads
and states is already having a bene
fetal effect. Although the preva-
lent business stagnation is reflected
in a decrease of Al per cent in net
operating revenue for the first ten
months of 1911 as compared with
the same period of 1910 there is
sign that the tide is turning in the
fact that the decrease for October
was only Z per cent. Confidence in
railroad securities is being restored
among investors as is evidenced by
the sale, by the Rock Island line, of
the first large issue of long-term
bonds by any railroad in a consider
able period.

b able . keep This plend j
rule which ought 10 be followed By
every man In his business aHalrs
Just IS religiousiy as he would OBJ
serve the commandments regarding
theft and lying.
The fuahllment Of promise Is
quite as important as therpsyment
sof debt. The man Eho= iails TO
keep his voluntary promise giiI soon
be regarded in the same hight as the
man who makes practice OF avoid
ing payment Of his honest debts.
Just as a man Of the latter type win
ultimately lose his credit and face
disaster SO he who fails to accom-
plish certain work at specified
time, or who fails to keep an APP
ipointment, or who fails to meet
other like obligations, win lose the
confidence of other men and the
business that goes along with it. No
man will engage thing or ia service
unless he has some reasonable as
isurance that he will get It when he
wants it.
In the case OF contract, whether
formal or implied, each party. CON
cerned is put under obligation to the
other and each acquires a'reclprocal
right to what is promised by the
other IN the case of promise
only one person. or party comes un-
der an obligation. The rights in the
FORMER case are recognized and pros
Itected by the civil law, while In the
latter they are not, which probably
accounts for cthe ightness with
which some men treat their .vo!un-
tarya promises The moral sprinctple
underlying both, however,, is the
same and the retributions that FOL-

Breaking Promises.

There are not many things more
vexatious and troublesome than the
breaking of a promise. 1t not only
causes Inconvenience to the person
to whom the promise is made, but it
destroys confidence in the promisor,

his reputation and actually loses
business for him. Reference is
