ROOSEVELT'S ATTITUDE UNIM-
PORTANT

Some one started the story that
Col. Roosevelt had stated that under
no circumstance will he again be-
come a candidate for the presidency.
The Colonel promptly denied that he
had ever said any such thing. Whether
he did or not, makes little difference,
as the public has lost all interest in
Colonel Roosevelt.
When elected to the presidency four
years ago, Roosevelt stated that, un-
der no circumstances, would he ever
again become a candidate for the
presidency, and this statement was
reiterated at different times. 1t would
hav been much better for him and
the Republican party had he stood by
his word.
1t is probable, however, that con
gress will submit to the states a con-
stitutional amendment that will lay
Colonel Roosevelt and other ambitious
politicians of his stripe on the shelf
for good. 1t is proposed to pass a
measure providing for a single term
of six years.

TO RESTRICT CAMPAIGN CINTRI
BUTTONS

Senator Clapp, chairman of the
committee investigating campaign
contributions, has introduced a bill
to prohibit the sending of cam
paign funds from one state to
another to aid campaigns of
candidates for president, vice-presi-
dent, representatives or senators. The
measure does not represent the con
certed action of the investigating
committee, but was presented by
Chairman Clapp as his suggestion of

Drive in the Center of the Road.

A prominent farmer of this coun-
ty, who is good roads booster and
who drags the roads regularly along
his farm, says for us to tell the pub
lie to drive in the center of the road,
whether it has been dragged or not,
for that will do much towards help
ing the roads. When a road has
been freshly dragged and teams and
automobiles drive on one side of the
road they naturally crowd the dirt
down toward the bitches and this
soon hurts the road, filling up the
bitches. If all parties would drive
in the center of the road as much as
possible, it would put the travel
where it belongs and the dirt would
not be crowded away from where it
belongs.
