A SENSIBLE VIEW

Former Governor Urban A. Wood
bury. one of the leading business men
of Vermont has written a letter TO
the Burlington News in which he
takes most sensible view of the
present crisis in national politics
Governor Woodbury's letter is as
follows:
The controversy between President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt, and the
accusations against both by thelr eN,
IRENE partisans are distressing, ana
bring anxiety and pain to the man
who esteems them both and VINO De
lieves that it is for the country $
good that the Republican party De
continued in power. | think thal
President Taft has been an able ana
honest executive and deserves re
election. Until recently ] looked for
his nomination, and thought 1t pos
sible that he might be reelected, Du'
the bitterness engendered by the
campaign and the result OF the con
tests in the different states this
month make it doubtful II he can Dc
nominated, and quite probable tha'
he cannot be elected If nominated. II
goes without saying that the conyen
ton should, and probably Will, nom
mate the man who stands the Des'
chance of being elected. To do Other
| wise would be suicidal.
/ RnnGaNalt
think it necessary, that he shoult
again be president, but have NJ
| sympathy with those who call hin
an adventurer a tool of the trusts anC
that he desires to become dictator
and to perpetuate himself in the pre-
sidential office Colonel Roosevelt Il
a patriotic man, and believe love-
his country and desires its welfare al
much as you and | do and will no
consciously do anything to injure II
While we may think some other mel
should be president, ] feel that hi
record of seven years as an executive
should allay apprehension OF calam
| ity should he be elected again. ] hea
much talk by republicans that the.
will not vote for him If he is nomi
mated / believe it to be the duty o
the republicans OF Vermont, as wei
the republicans of Vermont as wei

ted at Chicago by the men who hay'
been commissioned by us TO selec
him. Their judgment should be re

swift's Joke on Partridge.

Partridge, the almanac maker, who
taught old Moore his business. will be
remembered as the victim Of an ex-
traordinary practical joke played on
him by Dean Swift.
Against Partridges almanac for IT'S
the dean published rival almanac
predicting Partridge's death on March
20, about II at night, OF raging fever.
And on March 80 appeared a pam
phlet giving an account Of the alma
nae makers death, with his confession
that he was an impostor. This was
followed by Swlft's "Elegy on the
Death Of Mr.. Partridge" which so
completed the deception that the Sta
TONERS company struck Partridge of
the rolls and applied FOR an injunction
against the publication Of almanacs in
his name.
Partridge advertised that he "was
not only alive, but was also alive upon
March 90" But no one believed him.

Sea Serpents.

Sea serpents date back to the days OF
Aristotle, who wrote; "The serpents
Of Iibya are Of enormous size. Naviga-
tors along the coast report having seen
n great quantity Of bones Of oxen,
which they believe without doubt to
have been devoured by the serpents.
These serpents pursued them the sea
mem when they left the shore and up
set one Of their triremes."
CLAUS Magnus wrote in the middle
ages Of sea serpent 200 feet long and
20 feet thick which haunted rocks and
caves near the seacoast, the old writer
adding. "And he puts up his head on
high like n pillar and catcheth away
men. and he devours them"
