COL. ROOSEVELT.

Col. Roosevelt judging by the daily
press of the country and many Of the
foremost weekly periodicals. although
he has been considered one of the
shrewdest citizens and presidents the
country has ever had. has made a
serious mistake in announcing his can.
didacy for the presidency for a third
term. In view of the statements made
by Col. Roosevelt on several former
occasions it seems to a great portion
of the public that he has broken faith
and is pursuing course directly op.
posed to his former preachings. With
such circumstances staring him in the
face, unless the former rough rider
president and hunter of big game, has
a strong hand, with some trumps that
have not yet been exposed to the pub
lie, to bring into play soon, he is in
the predicament Of having to make
explanations for his former attitude,
and to be placed on the defensive is
not an enviable position.
Col. Roosevelt is strong man,
courageous and has a great deal of
executive ability. He has more diplo-
macy, too, than the average man in
the public eye. His straightforward
actions during the terms of his presi-
dency created for him the world over
great admiration. Men, who observed

THE ACCEPTANCE OF RUMORS.

All OF us are too prone, when we
hear rumors, TO allow them to mslead
US and to accept them as facts. 1t is
characteristic Of too many Of us not to
be willing to make our own investga-
tion and to hearken to the words of
others. The example of the Oak Grove
apple growers, who to satisfy their
curiosities. while at the same time
getting at the methods of an institu-
tion on which for number of years
the success of the Valley has been
based took a day Off and studied the
details of the management of the
Apple Growers Union. We may say
with what at first thought may be a
just criticism that it is the business of
the Union to disseminate among it's
growers the facts as to its methods.
This might be to the interest of the
Union management. Just as other
rumors of fault finding nature reach
growers ears and are believed without
further consideration or investigation,
the statements of the management
might be first at hand and make the
first impression. But, as Mr.. Sproat
suggests. if you want authentic facts.
secured by yourself or a self.appoiuted
source, 90 yourself OF send commit
tee of the growers of your district to
the Union to learn the facts from orig
inal records. Started, no one knows
where, but travelling with the rapidity,
almost of the light of star or the
rays of the sun, rumors. without basis,
are often the cause of harmful agita-
ton. 1t would be well for a / of us, in
the face of rumors, to adopt the traits
of character attributed to the citizens
of Missouri, and calmly tell the little
swift winged disturhers that we must
be shown.
1t is hoped that the recent rumors
mentioned by the letter to the apple
growers viii, IN the face of investiga-
ton, dart back to its starting point,
oblivion. The Union needs co-opera-
tion and concerted action.
The management of the Union has
always shown itself ready to listen to
reason and suggestion. Criticisms
based on facts and legitimate arpu-
ment should receive their apt atten
ton.

him, thought him not only a great
statesman, but g wonderful politician.
and Col Roosevelt was the popular idol
of the American people. Indeed. il
seemed that his success got the better
Of him. He has always had tendency
to be the biggest duck in whatever
puddle he happened to be. II
seemed to the American public that he
was trying to make too big splash in
the world puddle. when be left Africa
after his hunting expedition and began
to hob-nob with rulers Of the old world
country. Indeed, il seems with the
opposition that Col. Roosevelt has
created with his recent announcement
and bis abtruse way OF making It, that
he has created an impression that will
cause his popularity to wane rapidly.
There are many men, who have no
scruples against a third term president,
who have had their suspicion aroused
against Mr.. Roosevelt because Of his
former statements. while others de-
clare that, however much they might
admire him they would vote and sup
port no man for third term, declaring
it against precedents set in early days
of the government and re-affirmed
ofteutimes since then Still the
Colonel has a great many ardent ad-
mirers, who can see no fault in his
announcement, which to the many at
present looks like a contradiction, and
who assert that explanation can make
everything clear.
Summing all up it seems that Col.
Roosevelt is going TO fight against the
heaviest odds he has ever had confront
ing him. There is no doubt about him
enjoying a scrap. However, it would
probably have been far better Tor him
to have remained out of the contest,
not only for himself but for the coun-
try st large. As the first private
citizen Of the country he could have
welded a great influence. His recent
action will go far toward discrediting
any future stands of his, should the
reaction against him grow as every
present indication seems to forecast.
Strange things have been happening
during the past winter. While the
Middle West and East has been frozen
up, the report comes that Alaskans
have been enjoying an exceedingly
warm winter letter from Cordova
says that ice for household purposes
will have to be brought from distant
glaciers, because of the fact that the
waters of the adjoining lakes, which
usually freeze to a great thickness,
have been kept open because of the
warm days.
