PEACHES ARE KILLED.
Laporte County Crop All Gone, Says
State Entomologist Baldwin To
Local Association.

Laporte county will have no
peaches in 1912, said state ento-
mologist Baldwin, who addressed
the Laporte County Fruit Growers
Association last week.
These statements, Of course, ap-
ply to the Lapcrte county crop, but,
as matter of fact, the peach crops
of many districts are similarly af-
fected for the reason that, just pre-
vious to the recent cold snap, there
was period Of fine "growing"
weather and the buds were so far
advanced as to make them suscep-
tible to the sudden and decided
change in temperature. The state
officials yesterday examined the buds
of many trees in the vicinity of
Waterford and found them to be
fnost-bitten.
But, lest there be some excep-
tions to the rule, some trees having
escaped the cold weather, the men,
bers of the association have decid-
ed to go right ahead with the pro
gram of spraying, etc., which they
had mapped out, in order that the
best results may be obtained from
the few trees which do bear this
year and the other trees be kept
in good condition for the next sea-
son.

Justice and knowledge. He gave

justice and knowledge. He gave
genius, sympathy, and service, as a
willing sacrifice to his countrymen;
and so the gospel of sincerity pro-
claimed in his writings has been
made still more beautiful and con-
vincng by his life.
Miss Southwick spoke of the con-
ception Ruskin had of woman-his
ideal of woman. With him, as with
all great writer's and thinkers, woman
has held high place, and been a
commanding influence. One writer
summed up the conception of Ruskin
on this subject in the following
words: "There is a higher thing
than to speak with tongues, or to
know all mysteries, and that is to
love with the love that thinkeh no
evil, that rejoiceth in the truth, that
beareth all things, believeth all
things, hopeth all things, endureth
all things. This is the essence of
Ruskin's s ideal womanhood. Nothing
that ought to be shared with man
will he deny her, but he insists that
there are many things she need not
wish to share, because she is the
mistress of a larger wealth which
is hidden in her own soul. To know
how to love truly, to feel the sacred
flame of love which is the glory Of
the world, to soften the asperities of
life with her charity, and to brighten
its joys by her diviner force of feel
is the true program of
true womanhood, and there is no
woman who will not
grant that it is a high and noble
ideal"
One new member, Miss Sullivan,
was voted into the club, and the
business connected with the coming
of Mrs. Wood of South Bend, at an
early date was talked over.
The meeting for Saturday, Feb. 3,
will be held at the home of Mrs.

Of the Republicans of Ohio and the

state have made him hopeful that
their predictions Of his nomination anc
reelection will be fulfilled.
The president discussed the future
Of the Republican party and his speech
was along the same general lines as
that at Cleveland the previous night.
The president said:
II believe that the Republican party
is going to be successful in November,

mental reservations. l believe 1t be-
cause l have real faith in the intel
ligence and discrimination of the

ROOSEVELT WILL
ACCEPT NOMINATION
If Party Call Is Clear and Strong For
mer President Will Heed It---Third
Term Means Consecutive Terms
Makes Statement to Public

New York, Jan. 30-'1 am not and
shall not be candidate. I shall not
seek the nomination, nor would | &C,
cept it if it came to me as the result
of an intrigue.
But l will not tie my hands by a
statement which would make it diff
cult or impossible for me to serve the
public by undertaking a great task, If
the people as whole seemed definitely
to come to the conclusion that I ought
to do that task"
These actual liberal words are being
said by Theodore Roosevelt in letters,
IN interviews, in statements to those
whom he deems sincere and honest
supporters or sincere and honest op-
rcrents." They are part of re-
sonal position that has been known to
his personal friends for some time.
In summary the colonel declares
himself willing to take the Republican
nomination, although he might have
mrch to lose and little to gain In
reputation by so doing, if the people
Enthusiastically declare their belief that
he is the man to do the big Jobs that
face the nation.
He makes no attacks on Mr.. Taft
Indeed. in one statement he Is known
to have called the latter's nomination
probable" And he is making it clear
ly evident that he will countenance
neither trickery nor abuse against his
successor. If the nomination is to
come to himself, he wants it to come
with clean hanos."
AS to the third-term argument, Mr.
Roosevelt is saying that he stands by
his declaration that the second elec-
tive term talk is a quibble But he
adds that when man once leaves the
presidency the third-term precedent
does not operate against his running
again.
The plain and candid definition of
Mr.. Roosevelfs present attitude may
be said to relieve him Of the criticism
of those who see him as a poseur or 4
trickster in his political position today.
1. will also answer the charge that he
is oft seeking by intrigue to prevent
the nomination of Mr.. Taft. II may be
called the plain statement of a public
spirited man instead of a politician or
schemer.

Navy SECRETARY
SPEAKS HIS MIND
Issues Statement on Cutting
Oft of BattIeships.
SNAP JUDGMENT GOVERNMENT
Secretary Meyer Insists that This
Country's Length Of Sea Coast and
Many Obligations Make Siza-
BILE Navy 4 Necessity.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Secretary Of
the Navy Meyer. in a statement nota-
BILE for it's directness and painness of
speech, spoke out what was In his mind
about the action of the house Demo
Gratis who. in party caucus, went on
record against any appropriation for
battleships this year.
Secretary Meyer declares that "The
Democratic party took a step back
ward and gave another illustration q
government by snap judgment"
By Implication the secrets-y charges
that the Democratic party lacks the
courage to achieve real economy by
abolishing needless navy Yards which
are costing the government several
millions q year for maintenance alone.
He points out that even with the con-
tinuation of the two battleships . year
program, the United States Vii fall
behind in the navy, owing to the de-
terioration of old ships. and adds that
strong navy Is now absolutely es-
sential to this country to enable it to
fulfill its obligations.
In the course of his statement the
secretary says:
I'VE have an enormous extent of
coast line; we have Alaska, Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines, and
We have the obligations to guard and
protect Cuba and maintain her neu-
trality To perform these obligations
satisfactorily We must have strong
sea-going feet The only sure de-
fense of the country, and the only as
surance for safety is to be able to
seek out its enemy on the high seas
and to cripple or destroy it. It does
not suffice simply to drive the enemy
a few miles away from our coast end

Saturday Club Meeting.

The meeting Saturday afternoon
was held with Mrs. Emma North at
her home on Minor street. The at
tendance was good, and the program
was excellent. John Ruskin was the
author under discussion, and the
Misses Southwiek and Page had the
subject divided between them.
Miss Page gave the biography of
Ruskin, who was born Feb. 8, 1919,
in London. He took his degree at
Oxford in 1842. The first volume
of Modern Painters was published
in 1843, and was followed by other
writings from time to time through
a busy life. Ruskin died at Con-
Tiston, JAM 20, 1900. Miss Page fol-
lowed by giving the club an idea Of
the extent and variety Of Ruskin 8
writings, and versatility and uni
versatility of the man In the scope of
his productions. "He links to-
gether. in the strangest fashion the
remotest things-philosophy and
agriculture, theology and sanitation,
the manner Of mans life and the
quality of his pictures. !" The early
life of Ruskin gave little promise of
his future, for he was the spoiled
and petted child of wealthy par
ents, and the stern necessities of
life did not come to him in the
measure that is usual with men. But
he had one gift, s'The rare and
superb gift of fearless sincerity,
and this gift be came the dominant
force in shaping his life and genius.
To him theA question came "What
is artf Is it merely a pleasant
adornment of luxurious life, or is il
in itself an expression of lief Was
its true aim pleasure or truthP'
Ruskin decided in his own mind that
art was serious, not frivolous, and
that its one great mission was truth
and with infinite industry he begar
to train himself, that he might be II
ia position to judge Of art Will
