HIS MEMORY AT FAULT.

"Therc is wide spread apprchen-
sion among our people the cost
of living has not been reduced, = ,
no progress has been made in solving
the trust question > and tariff
reduction has not helped"
The above uttcrances are taken
from speech made by Mr.. Roose-
welt recently.
lie seems to have forgotten 1907
and the Roosevelt panic, banks refus-
ing payment, the longest breadincs
ever known, and , million men out of
work. The cost of living began to
soar and pinch hardest during the
Roosevelt regime. DURING these years
also the trusts grew from about $50
TO 10000. Also he has forgotten APP
parently the iniquitous Paync-Aldrich
tariff bill, which the people swept out
of existence and Mr.. Roosevelt with
1t. When he held the reins of gov
ernment the worst panic in years
was precipitated, and much else that
was runous. How can he be expected
to be returned to position from
which he was ousted because of fail
urc? Or was Mr.. Roosevelt's mem
DRY swamped in The River of Doubt Z?
His self concit and ambition, how
ever, seems to have survived.

THE TEA KETTLE AND THE
ICE BUCKET.

One of our friends, who is given
to stating things in original and Of
ten unusual but always pointed, pun
gent English rises from his seat
and requests to be permitted to ask
question, which he proceeded to do
as follows:
"Why do so many generally good
people carry around with them an ice
bucket in preference to Il tea kettle?"
Asked to explain, he said that some
folks were ever ready to "poor cold
water" on people with whom they
come in contact, who were trying to
do things and to helpalong. Others
arc given to encouraging every thing
and everybody looking to the better
ment of conditions. One carried around
an ice bucket, the other Il tea kettle.
One is doing great harm in the world.
The other much good. Many strug-
glcr has gone down in defeat because
he was douchcd with "cold water"
poured on him and his schemes.
yiib w GU btStt III vi
state, his efforts were not only not
sanctioned, but discouraged by cold
Indifference and an utter lack of any
signs of appreciation, he has become
weary and discouraged and finally
given up in despair and quits. There
are men, plenty of them, and per-
haps women, too, whose failure and
perhas ruin in life can be traced to
the persistent employment of this
cooling process. 1t requires brave,
strong will and firm conviction, to
brave the sleet and freezing, pelting
storm of unapprcciatcd effort. "The
cold shoulder" the silent it may be,
ignoring, is worse hundred times
than downright, outright opposition.
We have all heard of men being
frozen out" for selfish ends. The
tea kettle is an indispensable utcn-
sill in every home. So is the rcfrig-
orator and the ice bucket, but each
have their. uses, but become worse
than useless when allowed to change
places.

THE FIRE.

The fire on Monday morning was
the most destructive in the history
of the town. The complete destruc-
ton of two of the best stores, both as
to buildings andstock, was a calam-
ity, which, in Il city, would scarcely
be felt at all eXceptby the owners of
the buildings, is felt in n small town
such as this by the entire community.
The fact that there was no wind to
fan the flames into greater fury is
due the smallncss of the loss and
damage. Had there been wind no
doubt but that the flames would have
spread to other buildings, and the
limit of the damage can only be con-
jectured.
And also the heroic and untiring
work of the firc-fightcrs, with good
supply of water, was the chief factor
i holding the fire in check, and con-
filming it to the limited area over
which it burned.
Too much cannot be said in praise
OF the volunteer fire men who zeal
ously and mselishly tried to save
the property of their neighbors. Had
the fire been discovered earlier, or the
alarm sounded when first discovered,
the result might have been different.
Some sort of fire alarm should
be provided for the town. To be on
hand with hose and water, with the
supply and pressure we have, is al
most guarantee of successful
fight, but, after the fire has gotten
under way it is difficult, if not almost
impossible, to do more than hold it
within certain limits until it has burn
ed itself out. A bell or whistle should
be provided in order that both warn
ing and summons be given. Could
not the business men of the town af-
ford to employ Il night Waterman dur
ing hours the sergeant is off the
street? One-half or even much less
of the loss of this one fire would have
paid the salary of a watchman for
years.

A Horrible Lesson.

Some lessons learned from the Tt
tanic horror are being applied in pres
ent day marine architecture, but it
would seem that no amount of safe
guards in the way of watertight COM
partments or bulkheads would keen
afioat ship rammed and ruptured
as was the Empress of Ireland by
the heavy prov of the collier-smash-
ed into so far that the inrushing wa.
tiers caused her boiler to blow up
and tourn through nearly to her Wit
ais. 1t is quite evident from the
force of the impact that the collier
wasrunning at a greater speed than
was safe in fog-taking foolhardy
chances just as the master of the
Nantucket did when he rammed the
Monroe off the Virginia coast.
There should be some serious pun
ishment for such carelessness than
the loss of masters license. Pris-
on terms for some of the negligent
might forcibly impress upon naviga-
tors the Importance of the exercise
OF discretion and good judgment ON
their part. Theirs is heavy respon-
sibility and it takes full-sized man
to measure up to it.-New York

Success to the Farmer Who Reads

Farm and Fireside says the gov
eminent has Investigated the profits
of 1,217 dairy farmers, and has found
that 464 of them read farm journals
and other papers. while 1853 were not
readers. The remarkable thing about
the Investigation was that the 464
who were readers and presumably
students average profit of $l4.54 Il
year on their cows, while the other
753 averaged profit of only 81 &c
COW.
There is no surprise in this to us
that II dairy man who studies is
SHOWN to be the most successful dairy
man; what surprises us is that the
farmer who is progressive enough to
cut loose from the old ways of farm
ing; who is no longer willing to plant
GRO, probably the same old crop,
year after year; who is intelligent
enough to see that diversity is need
ed, and that dairying offers field
for many that will bring greater
profits and greater comforts, is not
also progressive enough to read up
on these things and learn the easier
and better ways that others before
him have learned, and try to adopt
these methods in his new work.
There is no longer question among
the most successful and progressive
farmers that the book farmer has a
big advantage over the non-book
farmer 1t would seem that this
knowledge ought by this time to be
general enough to reach the dair-
man.
In this failure of the dairyman to
keep abreast of the times by reading
the leading farm journals and the
daily press, as both contain informa-
ton useful to him in his business.
we believe we see the explanation of
the backwardness of Virginia as a
dairying State. With fine pasture
lands and thousands of acres not de-
voted to grass that might profitably
be, Virginia brings in from other
States, at least three-fourths of the
dairy products marketed in the State
not counting milk. There is comfort
however, in knowing that considerable
progress is now being made in
developing the dairy business. We
have progressive head of this blu.
reau of the State Agricultural De.
partment; and the stimulus it has
impaired to the dairying interests is
very great. Changes are taking place
and in few years Virginia will really
be for the first time on the dairyinp
map of the United States.

"a striking phenomenon was wit
hessed Tuesday evening as the re-;

the head of bull moose with its
nose pointed south and its horns
pointed north, and it passed out of
sight in southern direction. Next
came the distinct outline of the con-
tinents of North and South America,

There are number of fire-traps
on the back streets of the town, in
the shape of heaps of old barrels.
boxes, waste paper, ETC., in which a
fire is likely to originate at almost

etc, in these hidden places. This re-

started in such place, but how, no

but the fact is undisputable, however,
the fire was set that it originated in
one of these places where such trash

and protests that the "imputation by
prohibitionists of such an alliance
we suppose there is no escape. 1t is
one of the hardships which must be
endured by temperance men who will
not subordinate conscience and iudg-
ment to populor propaganda" The
News Leader says also, and correctly,
that "a man is presumed either wet
or dry, as he opposes or favors
statewide prohibition" And why not :?
A newspaper opposing statewide pro-
hibition is clearly on the other "side"
SO everybody thinks, and one favor
ing statewide is naturally and cor

and sale of liquor. The News-Lead-

the letter of the liquor salesman. The
question before the people is not
temperance, local option or regula-
ton. Not whether it is right or wrong
to drink, not one of this or that or
the other eXtraneous questions, but is
clear-cut-the prohibition of the
manufacture or sale of liquor in this
state.
