Mt. Top Orchard is
 Like Bank Account

As an example of scientific management on the Franklin county farm especially in regard to the subject of horticulture, the orchard of Dave Nichols, of the Mountain Top community, has been brought to our notice, MT. Nichols. it is said. probably having the best orchard this year in the county, and because he took proper care of his trees. He pruned them at the right time, sprayed them at the cor- rect time and kept the ground in proper state of cultivation with the result that his orchard is bringing him in money right along, the fruit being of a superior quality and command ing the best price. With the care exercised by MT. Nichols an orchard is like bank account it can always be relied upon. During a dry season like the past has been when all crops have been exceedingly short it certainly is nice to have such an orchard as the one above men, toned to fall back upon and any farmer with proper care may have an orchard full of nice healthy trees loaded with large Ben Davis apples just the same as MT. Nichols. Many orchards

Correcting Erroneous Impress
 sions.

This issue probably concludes my connection with The Specta- tor as managing editor. It IS but fair to myself and family that l have everything clearly under stood before departing as already some very unjust und misleading statements have become current. One of these is that l have made failure of the management of The Spectator and that it was losing its prestige. As all will doubtless remember The Specta- tor was poorly managed and badly run down when | acquired a half interest in the business. Since coming here 1 have tried to improve the paper and feel that l have done so. and especially so when l review the favorable comments of other newspapers. and too, such assurances coming from reputable citizens and buSi- ness men of Ozark without solici- tation, as those below mention ed makes me feel that 1 have been in d large measure success full: J. s. Turner, Harley Rus sell, J. E. Bryan, l.. NJ. Guthrie. Roy Bell, Eugene Hail, Carl Strong, F. P. Nichols, w. L. Haskew. Edgin Bros. J. P. Clayton, Geo. w. Barham, NJ. V: Waterfeld, Jno. T. Donnell, J. J. Galloway, J. L. Shelby, and dozens of others.
 The reason l am leaving Ozark is because my wife's health is broken down and physicians state that she cannot live here, therefore I am taking her to the desert regions of Arizona in the hope that the dry atmosphere in that high altitude will benefit her. She has been sick ever since coming here. being able to walk to town less than dozen times.
 l still retain a half interest in The Spectator. however, and it is possible that may be able to return next spring.
 So with this issue 1 relinquish the editorial quill. thanking the good people of Ozark and vicinity for their liberal patronage and hope The Spectator will continue to maintain it's present high standard in the field of journal ism. Edward F. Cox.

NOMINATE ROOSEVELT
(New York Worid.)

Describing the sinking of the Lusitana the greatest insult to which American citizens had ever been subjected, Joseph II. Choate told the Chamber Of Commerce yesterday that If Mr. Roosevelt were President no foreign nation would dare Insult the American flag or American citizens"
 Mr choate might have said with equal impressive that n MT. Roosevelt were Queen of Holland the Tubanta would not have been sunk Or that if Mir. Roosevelt had been President during the Civil War the British government would not have permitted the Alabama to be built by the Lairds.
 All of these assertions are equally susceptible of proof
 But if Mir Choate and the members of the Cham Der of Commerce who appauded his speech rdent that Mir Roosevets fist would dominate the world at a time when half dozen great nations are fighting for their very lives, we respectfully suggest that they use their commanding influence with the Republican Nationei Convention to bring about Mir. Roosevelts naminaton for President They represent an element in American affairs that has failed in the past to sway Republican National conventions, and it cannot fan now If they employ t n the way that they best know how to use it.
 There are many reasons why MT. Roosevelt ought to be the Republican candidate. The chief reason is that his nomination would make ceancut issue between two schools of foreign policy and two vital principles of government Mir. Roosevelt wants war with Germany and Mexico. which is the most direct method of settling all our differences with these coun tries whatever else may be said about it He also wants to put the United States miaristic basis both in respect Go army and navy and In respect to It's industries Prussianized state is Mir. Roose vets idea of government and he Is the most consist ent advocate In the United States of the Prussian theory.
 It is possible that the American people want War Lord In the White House and want him to do for them what the Kaiser has done for the Germans It Is possible that they want the Republic milit arized and want It's industries Prussianized It is possible that they are tired of their old free swinging gait and long for the gooscstep and the drill sergeant It Is pisslble that they want for wars sake and are eager for the trenches ct any cost
 The way to determine all that Is to submit 1t to a referendum of the American people in an election in which the policies the character and record or the two candidates cannot be obscured; an election in which every citizen must know precisely what he is voting for Mir Roosevelt Is the one Republican candidate who would make scch campaign possible He is the one answer the Republicans can honestly make to President Wilson.
 Mir Cheat and the gentlemen of the Chamber Of Commerce cannot fairly critlcise Woodrow Wilson for not being ike Theodore Roosevelt unless they are pre- pared in good faith to all their political influence to make Mir Roosevelt the Republican candidate for President

That Is remarkable story of growing wealth that is contained in the statement of tho United States Department of Commerce concerning American foreign trade for the current year indicates that the total volume of American commerce for the year win be more than 70 per cent greater than the pre- vions best National record the history of the world r indicates that our exports will also be 40 per cent ereater than the previous best National record It indicates further that balance of trade win be almost 100 per cent greater than the previous best National record And in each case the beaten Ma
 onal record is an American record. and the American record made only last year
 The estimate that the United States total rela tive gain for the year win be SSOOO0OOOoo means that in one year alone we have gained half of the amount that represents the total accumulated foreign investments in the United States the outbreak of the war Add to t the gain made last year. and n two short years 75 per of the toregn investments in che United States have been liquIdated or offset
 The precision with which fate is meeting the pre- elections O, the Department of Commerce this trade situation is almost uncanny The figures today are the fanument of the predictions of yesterday. These figures almost tally with estimates that were made last October and they justify fully the conclusions then arrived at that the United States Is fast becom- ing the banker of Nations.
 And all of this is the result of trade conditions. When we consider it in connection with the conse- quent advance the value of all American assets and the fact that have banking and currency system which permits the mobilization of our resourc- es for the purpose Of backing credits the capacity of the United States to finance foreign and local enter prses is seen to be great that 1t staggers the i'm. agination.
 It is no wonder that those of South America. Ja- pau China Canada and the other Nations have poured into the United States to borrow money with which to do business and with which to pay off those of Europe whose wealth is being taxed to the uattermost Co bear che s,upendous burden Of war

A vERY DIErERENr THING

In his first st. Louis speech ex-President Taft suggested that the country needed revise It's be- iiefs as to the fundamental demands Of an American foreign policy He appeared to think at least to suggest, that We have outgrown washngtOn's advice against entangling alliances.
 There Is a sense in which might agree with this view of the matter but the advice which Wash ineton gave. in the sense In which he have n- tended it Is just as good it ever was. Wash iugton was advising against that form of alliance which would attach this country to some country or alliance in Europe and align 1t against some other European country or alliance. He believed as all Americans believe. that there is reason why the United States should hazard the peace Of this people to maintain a European balance of power We have our American policy. Our European policy is to let Europe maintain its own balances as it has with oc- casional interruptions for many years
 IT this country should elect to join general league against war a league to enforce peace as ex- Presden, Taft calls it. that would be another matter. We should not then be joining country for the purpose of defending it against another. but would be joining with all countries which wish to obey the law Of nations against any country which chooses 10 become an outlaw That a very different thing from the alliances Of Washingtons day. any day since Washington. and nothing like any form of a- lance that could have been in washington's mind
