Safe and Sound.

From the Cassville, Mo-, Republican:
The country has man in the presi-
Dental chair who can be relied upon
to uphold the principals Of protection
and the other doctrines of the plat
form on which he was elected. Mr..
Taft Is standing courageously for the
principles in which he and his party
believe. Four more years of his adj.
ministration offers safe and sound
protection to labor and to capital.

Is good reason for this:

From the Courier d'Alene, Idaho,
Press:
Compare the dignity, the tact, and
the positive stand taken by Mr.. Taft
with the bombastic acts and ut

which measures up to the standard of
a president and who has accomplished
most for the country.

Friend Of Old Soldiers,
Where Mr.. TAFT Stands.

From the Wausau Record-Herald:
Taft stands exactly where either Of
the great martyr presidents would
have stood had they lived in bis day
and occupied his place. He stands for
the constitution. for the courts. for
the perpetuation Of the tried and
proved American Institutions, for the
principle of protection to American
labor, just laws and their impartial
enforcement against rich and poor,
high and low, alike. No president ever
had higher ideals, better comprehen-
sion of the intricacies of government,
or more courage in presenting his con-
victions to the public.

The man who writes and writes in
verse
Is seldome worth a tinker's curse.
The man who plays the violin
Is usually lazier than sin.
The man who in his business busts
Is the man who says my friends
Ill trust.
The man who wants to live alone
Is hardly fit for Gods great throne.
The man who wants to live upright
Should never with his fellows fight.
The man who tries to worship
God
Onould 4ently lead, not use the roo
A man who works both night and

Is the one who gets the smalles,

Seven Would Be Speakers

The Richmond News-Leader of
Monday, in discussing the Speaker
ship of the House of Delegates. says.
No less than seven bonnets have
already been cast with beautiful
abandon into the legislative ring by
aspirants clamoring for the chair Of
Speaker in the next House of Dele
gates. And when it is recalled that
seven is a sacred number, some sig
nificance may be attached to this
fact.
The names Of Judge Martin Will
liams Iof Giles and Hugh A. White
OF Rock bridge, were first mentioned
and after that came the deluge.
And what is to be said of Hugh A.
White Of Rockbridge, the unterri-
fed leader OF the insurgent wing OF
the last House? Mr.. White was
probably the pioneer to SHE his lie
into the arena. He is Democrat OF
the progressive" variety. He has
opinions of his own, and he express
es them without apology.

APPLE GROWING IN VIRGINIA

Following is the description of an
apple orchard in Augusta county:
The orchard contains 5000
twelve year-old apple trees, Wine
saps, Albemarle Pippins, York Impe-
rails, Stayman Winesaps, Grimes
Golden and Ben Davis. The trees
are planted thirty feet apart each
way and occupy a bench sloping
evenly in four directions, giving the
perfect surface and air drainage.
The trees are very symmetrical, ten
to sixteen feet high, twenty feet in
diameter with low head and open
center, the fruit wood is strong,
many limbs two inches in diameter,
holding three barrels Of the equiva-
lent of $50 POUNDS of apples"
Rockbridge has soil equally as
good as our neighbor to the north

cial apples, and when properly cul-
tivated the returns will be just as
satisfactory. The owner OF the Au-
gusta orchard is said to use all the
modern devices known to the bust
ness in order to facilitate his work
After careful walton and gather
ing, the apples are sorted by ma
chinery and handled in padded yes

Failure of Wilson TO Get Majority
Would Cause Deadlock

While absolutely convinced that
Woodrow Wilson will be the next
President of the United States,
Democrats who have studied the
situation closely realize that in or
der TO win he must poll majority
vote over Taft and Roosevelt in the
electoral college. He would stand
no chance if the contest should go
to the House of Representatives
To win in November Governor
Wilson must carry enough States
to give him 266 electoral votes.
Four years ago Bryan got 1872; Par
ker, in 1904, got 140. Naturally,
campaign managers are figuring on
the States which will fall into the
Democratic column this year, al
though they refuse to go as far as
William Jennings Bryan, who
has declared that Wilson will
carry every State in the Union.
They realize that talk of that sort
is idiotic. There are 53l votes in
the electoral college, and, as stated,
the winner must poll 266,
Out OF the mass Of information and
nisinformation which has been
printed about the procedure in the
event that no candidate receives a
majority vote in November, the
North American Review appears
to have unearthed the real facts.
The Review says that if Wilson and
Marshall fail to obtain 266 electoral
votes, there is 20 provision in the
Constitution or statutes preventing
the opposition electors, who would
constitute a majority, from uniting
upon and electing either Taft OF
Roosevelt, or a third person. The
! Likelihood of their reaching such an
agreement must be regarded, how
ever, under the circumstances, a
negligible.
The duty would then devolve up
on the House OF Representatives 1
choose Immediately by ballot tn
President each State having on
vote and choice being restricted
5 Wilson, Taft and Roosevelt.
: The vote. as the House is now d
4 vided politically, would break ever
with % for Wilson and % for I'll
opposition. Four States are even
&c divided, which would prevent ii
y House from making a choice.
I'd The House and Senate failing
o. elect, Taft's term will expire at mi
80 night on March 3. and Philander
Knox, Secretary OF State, would b
= come acting President. AS su,
ne he would be obliged to convene Co
be gress in extraordinary session
a March "a, and Congress would d
!, termine the time of choosing the ele
tors. In this manner, an electi,
would be held within a year.
Naturally. in view of this stu
ton, the Democratic party is call
upon to put forth every possible
OF tort to elect Wilson in NOvembC
r. Should it come TO the worst and

TRIED TO KILL BULL MOOSE
Col. Roosevelt Shot Monday Night in
Milwaukee

The entire country was thrilled
Tuesday morning when the rumor
of an attempt Monday night to as
sassiuate Colonel Roosevelt in Mil
waukee, Wis, was confirmed by
newspaper reports.
The attempt at assassination was
made Monday night as Colonel
Roosevelt started on his way from
the Hotel Fitzpatrick to the auditor
ium to deliver a campaign speech.
AS he stepped into an automobile a
shot was fired by roughly dressed
man, who edged his way through
the crow d to the car. The stranger
took deliberate aim and sent the
bullet crashing into the eX-Presi-
dents right side just below the
nipple.
The assassin was grabbed by AL
bert II. Martin, one of the Colonel S
stenographers, and E. Q. Gerard,
W no was a rough rider under Roose
welt.
With a gesture the ex-President
exclaimed: Don't hurt him. I'm
all right"
Colonel Roosevelt insisted on go
ing to the hall and there quieted
the crowd that heard he had been
shot, spoke from S 40 until 9.45
o'clock, though apparently weak,
and then was taken to an emergency
hospital.
The man who fired the shot was
grabbed by bystauders and it was
with difficulty that the police coulC
get TIE would-be assassin to pre-
cinct headquarters without his be
ing lynched. He gave his name a.
John Schank Of New York.
In notes found IN the man 5 peck
els at the police station were state
ments that the would be assassi,
, had been visited in a dream by IT,
spirit of William Mckinley, who hat
said, indicating Colonel Roosevelt
D This is my murderer, aveuge N
death,
The man, who is small Of statur,
admitted firing the shot and sal
e that any man looking for thir
' term ought to be shot. He is r
e garded as insane.
After his speech Monday nigl
10 Colonel Roosevelt was taken to {
l. emergency hospital where an y RI
y examination showed the ball was
e Gated in the chest wall. Later he Wi
70 taken by private car to a hospital
D. Chicago where he spent fair
N restGul night last night. The wour
e is not necessarily serious, althOua
blood poisoning is feared.

place until after the NOyemb
