There Is living quietly here in Philadel-

works In the city and sleeps at Merton Is
dore Roosevelt's cabinet board for six
years. Leslie NJ. Shaw, former secretary
OF the treasury. was such a wide-awake
aggressive party leader that I was curious
to know what he thinks about the projects
OF republicans and progressives getting to-
gether for the presidential election in 1916.
So K him. Now you may differ
with Mr.. Shaw'S conclusions or you may
agree with them. but one thing you may
be sure about, and that Is that he has an
opinion. He Is just as incisive and em-
lphatic in manner and Just as positive in
his declarations as when he used to be
making those ripping campaign speeches
out In Iowa.
my question, that any one In these times
cares what In old-fashioned republican
thinks and much less what he says. But.

should be exercised in removing every
particle of decayed wood in the trunk

foreign substance. If only small

decay also. Such operations on trees
are not confined to the trunk, but may
be successfully performed on the
