TIIK NOMINEE AND THE PI.ATFOIUI William Howard Taft of Ohio was nominated on the first ballot In the Chicago convention for tho presidency of the United States. Tor those who havo rend Secretary Tuft's speeches, tho above statement sums up tho whole his tory of Thursday's proof odlngs of tho republican national council, for tho na tional platform has been almost com pletely outlined In the various speeches delivered In different parts of the coun try during tho preliminary campaign. The platform reaffirms tho Roosovelt policies, supports the courts In all their rights and dignity; opposes special pri vileges; declares for sound finance; stands for protection of American capital and American labor, whllo favoring early revision of tariff schedules along reasonable lines; declares for aid for our merchant marine; relterntes the republi can attitude toward railroad abuses and the trusts; and emphasizes democratic Incapacity. The platform Is a ringing declaration of republican principles and policies, and It will appeal forcibly to American voters. The republican nominee for the presi dency is recognized ns one of the strong est men of our nation. Ha Is admired and trusted by the American people; they have full confidence In his abilities and In his high character, and they know him to bo fit and well qiiallfled for discharging the duties of tho high posi tion to which he has boon called. WHEN TITO T1MI1BH SUPPLY tilVES OUT. What are houses going" to be mado of wlwen there is no more timber. That Is a question which, In these days of dlsappoarlng forests, cannot be dis missed nit "academic" There Is no bet ter proof of the reality of the "de struction of the forest," of which so much has been heard recently, than the outlay necessary for even a sim ple frame dwellng. In the short period of ten years the cost of a horn has Increased from 30 to 60 per cent., nc cording" to whether It Is near a source of lumber supply cr In a thickly settled section far away from the woods. Government experts havo covered the country -with their Investigations, nnd tlvey report that the time Is not far off when the country's timber will be jron. This means that other things must be found to talrs tha place of wood. The United States Eovernment has established laboratories nt various centre, tor the purpose of testing nil sorts of structural materials. The results of these tests' are published from time to time, nnd In this way en Klneers, architects and contractors are Informed as to the capabilities of the materials. Only wlthtn the Inst year or two has Ifeneral Interest In tlie diminishing timber supply been aroused. The re cent conference of governor, called by President Tloosevelt, was due chiefly to the report nf tho official Forester, Glfford Tlnchot, to the President. To the condition which mndo the. conference necessary may be traced, also, tho Invention of nove building materials. Ono example of this Is Edison's unique Idea of mak Ing huge moulds and pouring concrete Into them "houses made while you wnlf," but nobody has yet been bold enough to put this Idea Into practice Then there nr ottur forms of con creto nnd cement which ljavo been proposed, all more or less In the ex perlmontnl stage nt f.reson Thus there Is a constant attempt to employ for building the only sub utanco of which tho Biipply Js unllmlt ed, tho soil of the enrth Itself. Es peclally Is this so In and near th big cities, where tho scarcity timber and the consequent high price nro felt most seriously, for here th difference In price between a frame bonne and a house of more solid mat erlal Is so small n.f to bo unlmpor tant. Illustrative of tho general tendency to find substitutes for wood Is th juiggestlon of Mr. Herbert M. Wilson of tho United .States geological sur vey, Hint scientific Investigations Int the properties of clay bo undertaken Tim AinpfJcnn Orntnln waeiaty mads htnrt In this (llrnplltm, by appoint ing a special cimitnlttM to report up on a plan "fur systematizing the study uf clay product." TIIH PONTINO OF WA11HANT9, The Bellows Falls Times voices a timely protest which will be re-echoed In every town In Vermont where the nuisance of forcing voters to look on barn doors and fence posts for notices of town meetings suffered year after year. The con temporary says: For several years the Vermont Press association has been trying to get through the Legislature a law compelling the publication of warrants for town and village meetings In newspapers but each attempt la met with Insinuations that tho association has designs on the public treasury. When tho new llellows alls village charter was before the last Legislature the editor of the Times called tho attention of the committee that draft ed the charter to tho fact that the only provision for calling a meeting nnd advertising It wns the one requiring that a warrant be posted In thrco public laces. The committee, however, paid no nttentlon to the matter an. probably considered posting three warrants ample notice. Tho attention of the legislative committee to "chlch the dinner was re ferred was also Invoked and 1). H. Fllnn Springfield, a member of the commlt , Intimated that tho Legislature wonld pass over his ueaa oouy iicuirc " lllago charter would bo granted Hint tllil not provtdo for newspaper publication of warrants, The charter' went through In s original form, however, nnd Minn Is till alive. The most reasonable explana tion Is that lifter uttering tha horrible hre.it 1lnn indulged In ono of thosu ora torical flights for which he is famous and did not lnnd until after thj legislature nd acted. The special corporation meeting of Krl- ny evening Is an uiuttiraiiou ui potlng warrants In three public places will do. Not one voter In ten of the or more in the village will admit that he knew there was to bo a meeting nt all. Others say they had forgotten about It, nd still others who promised to bo pres ent did not show up. At the hour adver tised for opening the meeting not half a ozen were present, and tho largest num ber voting nt all was 74. We do net clnlm that publishing war rants in newspapers will always uu me nil. but do claim that such publicity is a aluable adjunct to posting notices, and If thero were but one method of advertis ing the paper would bo greatly superior to tho posting process. After all U said and done, however, It must be admitted that many citizens are not us zealous In performing their duties they fchould be. Very few business mem wcro present Friday, and yet It Is tho btif-lness men who are the most Interested In having nn efficient lire department In llellows Falls. The trustees have spent much time and devoted much thought to tho re-organization of the fire department. They are human and their plan may not be the best, but we submit that It Is en titled to better treatment than being kicked over after a brief 13 minutes con- ideratlon by a vlllago meeting, especiail when most of those present nave gucn n., matter no consideration whatever previous to entering the hall. The citUens nf Uellows Falls ought to make their attendance at vlllago meetings like their Mendance at church, a matter or atn nd not of convenience. This Is a subject which should not bo allowed to drop until the people of Ver mont are put in the line of progress which is being made In other Stutes In matters of publicity relative to govern ment matters. A STIIONO COUNTY TICKET. The republicans of Chittenden county nro learning 10 smouwi uui linuunu. differences, and this was well illustrated n connect"n Willi ineir convemiuu Saturday for tho selection of a county ticket to bj supported nt tho polls in September. Previous to that gathering it had been whispered that under certain conditions a fusion ticket might ba put In the field in this county the coming autumn, but when tho smoke of tho only two battles In the convention had cleared away and people had opportunity to study thn ticket, they realized that nil possible hope of a successful fusion movement In this county had beer, dissipated com pletely and that our democratic friends would have to fight their battles alone. The ticket not only Includes rcpresen- atlve citizens but It Is also well placed geographically ns well as politically. In deed we do not hefttato to predict that when the ticket Is studied carefully It will receive not a few democratic votes. in Mr. F. K. Burgess of Burlington, former Ilepresentatlve Irving F, Hobart of Westford and Dr. A. L. Bingham ol Wllllston tho republicans have a list of senators which will compare favornbly with any list of strong men sent to th Stato Senato from any county In the State. The candidates for assistant Judges, the Hon. W. M. Barber of Wllllston nnd Mr. E. W, Qulnn ot Jnderhlll, help further to glvo a good representation .to tho outside towns as well as to the different elements In the pnrty. Mr. Henry B. Shaw, the candidate for State's attorney, nominated after one of tho prettiest and squares! contests ever waged In a convention In this or any other county, which has left not n single scar, Is one of our leading young lawyers, of unblemished character and unquosloncd Integrity, whose nomination Is guaranty that both the Interests of the people and the rights of tho accused will be treated fnlrty as well ns promptly and efficiently. Judge M. A. Bingham of tho court of probate has discharged tho duties of that Importnnt oftlce In a manner so satisfac tory that no one thought of any other name In thnt connection, and James H. Allen has made no efficient and popular a sheriff that It would be hard to beat him, oven If one had gone so far to think of It, which wo doubt to have been the case. Theodore K. Hopkins nnd Martin F. Vilas of Burlington and P. M. Page of Jericho, all of whom are doservcdly pop ular, have reason to be proud of the manner In which their friends have stood by them in tho contest for Stateo's attor ney, and It Is evident that their strength Is of an enduring character. It should also be stated In this connection that thu Hon, S. A. Browned of Essex wns as sured hv a host of friends that while they wanted to support him for the office nf assistant Judge, suporlor claims of tha town of Underbill, which by tho way wore presctitoi In ono of the most forco fill apeeohes of the day by former Repre sentative K. W. Henry, constrained them to support the latter town's candidate. Btote'a Attorney A. L, Sherman distin guished himself by the admirable and entirely satisfactory manner In which ho Bhould h0 bft cceUO( mU!,t be counted officiated as chairman of tho county con-1 chlfif amon(r , qU(vjfleatlons. No ro ventlon, and ho deserved tho hearty com- rrnt p,,,,,,,, BBV Mr McKlnley has mendntlons he Is receiving. ,,. , , c.... nuMin The republicans of Chittenden county are to bo congratulated on the successful and gratifying manner In which they Ironed out their rival Interests In con nection with the county ticket, nnd the choice of candidates Is certain to be handsomely endorsed nt the palls by tho people. TAFT AND SIIICH MAN, The republlcon national convention In Chicago named a strong ticket in Taft and Sherman. The ticket hns tho right ring. It sounds belligerent and at tho samo time It hns a sugges tion of conciliation and attractiveness. Indeed ono may say It Is a winning tloket. It represents two of the grent est States In the Union, both of which havo been doubtful In the past, but whlrh this year will march together toward victory. Mr. Taft represents tho liberal and advanced Ideas whlo'i have found recent favor In nil parts of tho country, while Mr. Sherman stands for the grent business lntereis of tho nation which have their foun tain head nnd their headquarters in the Empire State. It Is therefore n well bnlnnred ticket In every sense ot the term, nnd one thnt will nppeal t i all classes of our people In nil parts of the land. Concerning the republican candidate for the presidency of the United Stales the public Is already well Informed ns regards the chief events of his varied and nctlve public career. Sorim ot lilt chief characteristics and qualifications for the high oftlce, for which he has been named as tho candidate of a great party, however, would seem to demand additional attention nt this time. The mem fact that Secretary Taft stands for tho policies which havo becomo so popular with the people during the administration of President ISoosevelt would nlone win him a high degree of popular favor, but he Is a big man In every other way as well 13 physlcallj-. In respect to brains nnd character, which are the chief es sentials of fitness for tho oltlco of chlof executive, ho Is eminent. He has n wldo and thorough knowledge of tho country nnd Its peoplo as well ns the needs of both. It Is entirely within bounds to say that no other American hns so Intimately studied tho prob- 1 lems connected with our nation's terrl- ' tory represented hv Mm list ni Til. II ' by the distant Phil- r THE FIRST REAL CUT Chas. E. Pease Co. TWO STORES MAIN ST., BURLINGTON ALLEN ST., WINOOSKI ipplne Islands and other distant pos sessions. In this connection It Is well to quote from a tribute paid to Mr. Taft by the democratic New York Times. It says thnt next to his ability and his up rightness his Intimate knowledge of tho machinery his hand In to direct, nnd ,)n urpftJln,d Mr, McKln ley In this, thnt while tho martyred President's experience of national af fairs hnd been confined to the leglsla tlvo branch, Mr. Taft hns long had tha run of the executive, field, where his services have been most Intelligent and valuable, nnd before thnt he sat upon I thn bench, Judicial i experience and the Judicial hnhlt of mind are first-rate qualities In a President. Another noteworthy fact In connec tion with the nomination of Mr. Taft Is that with tho exception of Mr. lltalnn, he Is tho tlrst candidate of tho Itepubllcan party since Lincoln who has not seen service In the field nnd to whose name no military tltlo was ever attached. The lengthening years have brought us to a time when tho heroes of the Civil War nre too far advanced In age to bo nvallnblo as candidates for thnt ofllce to which, from a sense of patriotism nnd grntltudn as well ns with it more or less enlightened appre ciation of tho strength of tho soldier vote, the Itepubllcan party for so long n time hnbltunlly nominated men who had seen service. Hut the war Issues, too, have been effaced, nnd nobody supposes now that a mllltnry record would particularly add to the strength of a candidate. The fact that the divided and divid ing republicans of New York were able to harmonize their differences completely and wholly by concentrat ing their strength on Mr. Sherman ns their randldnte for tho republlrnn nomination fer the vice-presidency speaks for Itself ns regards his quali fications, his popularity and his en tire avallnblllty for tho position. In the light of recent experiences political parties in tho United States no longer regard the vice-presidency ns n shelf on which to place politici ans who have gone to seed or who arc merely undesirable citizens. It Is re alized that the exigences of a day may elevate tho vice-president to tho high est ofllce within the gift of the, Ameri can people nnd this fact In and of It self speaks for tho kind of a man tho republicans of New- York asked tho party to name fir second place on tho national ticket. Mr. Sherman has long been prominent in political affairs In his Stato nnd for somo time has held the position of chairman of tho ro- We nre beginning to slash prices in order to close out Suits A good many men noticed our oiTer made last week to close our fine worsted suits priced up to $20.00 for nn even Twelve Dollars.

The New York Herald has for years fought tho tuberclln test for cattle and ndvocated segregation of Infected cattle. In Its !at Sunday Issue the Herald devotes a page to the matter, quoting from prominent veterlnarles who ngreo with thnt view. Dr. David It. Trendway In tho course of his remarks says "Vermont hns probably the clean est herds of any State In this part of the country." Hut ho lays this not to the en forcement of the tuberculin test but to tnp clo''c, Inspection of cattle brought Into ine mate, There Is to he sure some little grum bling nt the heavy cost to tho State of condemning diseased cnttle but ono nf the results Is seen In the quotation above from an eminent New York authority. Thnnlts to the diligent work of our pres ent cattle commissioner nnd his prede cessors A'ermont Is gotlng a reputation for clenn herds of cattle. It costs high to be sure but good things do not come free. It Is Interesting to note also that since the campaign of extermination of dis eased rattle has been In force In this State hns been under way there has been a t'ecrease In tuberculosis among humnn beings. Under these circumstances the Stato can hardly afford to go back wards In the matter. A recent Issue of tho American Vet erinary Review contnlns an Interesting nrtlcle nn the eradication of animal tuberculoids by Burton Hodgei s p. V. M of the Kansas State Medical College. The following nre somo extracts from his nrtlcle: Dr. A. D. Melvln, chief of thn Hur enus of Animal Industry, U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, shows In his last nnnual report Issued In January of this year, that about 430,000 tuberculous hogs were discovered by the federal Inspectors during the fiscal year of 1M7. Of this number about fit, M0 were so badly affect ed with the disease that no part of them compiled with thn Pure Food Laws, nnd were therefore of necessity removed from our meat supply. The remainder were considered bad enough to condemn "parts" alnne, and the "part" usually consists of the head and neck of the animal, averaging a loss nf nt least fifty cents each, besides making the rest of the meat of the animal come from one thnt could not be said to havo come from an absolutely healthy animal. This 430,000 Is an Immense and sudden Increase over th" number of tuberculous hogs discovered In the fiscal report of IN'), and to one who wns not conversant tlrst hnnd with tho history of U. R. Inspection would nt once con clude the dlseno had Increased that much during the year. The real facts nre that better methods nr In vnguo In all the pncklng houses than were a few 'years ago nnd furthermore It Is uniformly so. Hut bo that ns It may. the Important question confronting us In this progres sively economical ago Is: Could tuber culous germs have been prevented from entering these 4ri0,0Y hogs setting up tho disease In tho varying degrees thnt caused thn depreciation of all nnd tho complete exclusion of Ci.000 hogs? llecent federal and State experiments show that tuberculosis cattle, especially cows with pulmonary consumption, cough up germs Into their mouths where they nre subsequently swallowed (for who ever saw a row spit or vomit) Just like tho cud. Some of these germs pass through the walls of the Intestines Into tho blood vessels nnd from there to n new place In the cow's lungs. She har vests n chrop of germs, but plants them ngnln the same. day. But the most of the germs pass otft of the Intestines with the manure or fasces. Experiments show that as many ns 87,(100,0) tuberculous germs can thus be passed out of one cow In one day. Any small particle may then contain nn Immense number and when dried may become a part of thn dust thnt may later fall In the milk pall and reach the consumer. Tuberculosis Is an unpleasant subject nnd so are, some of Its Important facts. Hogs nnd much nutrition In the faeces of cattle and consequently devour them greedily and farmers take sdvantage of this fnct nnd encourage It by turning hungry hogs Into such Invlronments. Because hogs hnve been removed from their naturnl, free roaming conditions nnd been placed In smntl pens with lots to eat, they hnve deteriorated physically and taking on large quantities nf fat, are today considered the most susceptible of nil nnltnnts to tuberculosis germs. Therefore hogs nssoclntlng with tuber culous germs ns above Indicated ran hnrdly help becoming more or less af fected nccordlng to the number of germs given off, and therefore proportionate to the degre of dnngernnsness of the cow. Stopping right here for n moment. every Intelligent reader could no some reasoning on the facts Just given, nnd possibly evolve nn nutomntlr plnn for locating the dnngerons tuberculosis an imals. On nearly everv farm hogs nnd cnt tle nssoclnte In the same pens and pas tures to n greater or less extent. Most hogs are ready for market within a year after birth. The bulk of hogs ore slaughtered In pncklng houes having federal Inspection, where every single hog Is given two thorough examinations for tuberculosis. During the flscnl year 1S07, tso.ooo hogs were under contamina ting 'conditions on the farms from which they came, and the milk nnd milk pnll.s nre exposed to the same dangerous con ditions on thee same farms. Assuming that these samo farmers nre raising an equnl number of hogs this year, then 430,000 living hogs are nt present exposed to the same contaminating conditions on thee same farms nnd when marketed make up the bulk of another 430O) tuberculous hog, but has absolutely no Iden where the hog originally came from. for all hogs look alike after the hair Is removed and the head cut across. Any cow thnt will scatter tubercu lous germs In sufficient numbers to af fect nssoclntlng hogs Is n dangerous an imal becnuse she Is scattering germs. General compulsory tuberculin testing is the method necessary to completely erad icate animal tuberculosis. On the other hand, compulsory tagging of hogs is the method of eradicating every dangerous tuberculosis animal with which hogs as sociate. At any rate preliminary data would be secured concerning the extent and distribution nnd. therefore, approxi mate appropriation necessary to eradi cate it. Blanks sent quarterly to the far mers ns nppllcatlons for tngs to apply to nnlmals horn during the lat quar ter would glvo a perpetual live stock census, besides the ownership tag. Thero Is Just ns much Justice In selling live animals on their real merits ns In making It compulsory that their products shall be so, and so only sold. Tho gov ernment can earn- out a law affecting the Interstate centripetal channels of trade as well ns the Interstate centrifugal channels. If the nntlon nnd the Stnte nnnronriate sums that aro Inadequate to compensate the owners for destruc tlon of these tuberculous germ manufac turing animals, then It must seem a profitable investment for tho packers of this country to rn-operattvely Invest the remainder necessary to completely erad Icale every living tuberculous food nn Imal, and therefore cease buying 430,X) tuberculous nnlmals every year. But th ereatest good will come to the peopl for If every tuberculous animal would he erndlcated It would solve thn muni cipal and country meat and milk supply nrotnem as rar as iufi i;unmin u,.- hi"- est danger Is concerned. Thero Is posi tively only one side to this question, for It Is for the best Interests of everyone and Is not antagonistic to a single soul on earth. THE SUMMER APPETITE. (Hy Alice E. Whltaker.) When tho nrst warm days como appetites arc likely to fail and the task of selecting food becomes a bur den. The houncwlfe shares this dlsln ollnatlon to eat and this Increases her distaste for marketing and eooklnr t'Hii.illv the appetite tlrst declines meat especially roasts and steaks and It Is far greater wisdom to omit meat until a natural craving comes for It than It Is to force It on an un willing stomach or dosa with tonics to create an artificial appetite. A great many people do not need meat more than once a day during the hot weather. People who work, however, must be nourished and how to do this accep tably Is the question of the moment. The cook's skill Is needed now more than nt any time of the year. Extra care In tho appearance of the table is essontlul nnd also In tho service of the food. Now Is the time to drop out oatmeal nt breakfast and substitute some preparation of wheat or serve boiled rice which hns no fnt. Balads and vegetables In great variety are needed. Eges. flh nnd chicken nre better than beef or pork but mutton and lnmh nre especially summer meats. It Is wise to spend moro for cream nnd less for butter and fat meats la summer. The cream will make possible a large number of des j sorts that are light nnd digestible, i Tho womnn who does her own cook j Ins: cannot make frozen desserts of ten, for there Is a good aeui oi worn in mnklng ready nnd cleaning up, but she can p: apare chilled desserts that are acceptable, This In the aeason when It pays to study tho rook books and this re minds mo of tho suggestion from a young housekeeper who thoroughly believes In culinary literature. She showed me her scrap books and mag azines In orderly arrangement on shelves and said, "I do not keep my magazines field In order of publica tion hut In -groups and seasons. For Instance when It Is pickling and pre serving time I turn to my group of latn summer and fall number and at holiday time to the November nnd He rember magazines. In this way It Is always easy to find a timely nuggm tlon thnt will get me out of tl rut." BANANA FIUTTBHS. Pel tho bananas and cut In two crosswise.

The clever wife of a rising young physician, who hnd been much pestered by peddlers and house-to-house agents and canvassers, recently took an unusual but efnelent method to rid herself of nn especially Intrusive nnd persistent speci men. Her husband was out, and she hnd taken her sewing Into his office to hi near the telephone. The peddler, when she went to the door, pushed by her Into the room, declined to leave when she ordered him to do so, and with a man ner nt once cringing and Insolent, urged her to purchase articles for which she hnd no use. She was annoyed, and at last a little nlurmed. Suddenly she remembered the cabinet In which 'Tommy" wns kept. Tommy wns tho family nickname for a skeletor sometimes used by the doctor; an nd mlrnbly-monnted specimen, nnd so skll fully adjusted that on opening the caM net doors which were released by pull ing a cord It swung forward nutomotl cnlly for more convenient Inspection Quietly securing the end of the cord, she addressed the peddler: "Go at once this Instant! If you don't I shall call for help:" He still lingered, cajoling and Insisting "Tommyl" called the womnn, loudly "Please come nnd put this fellow out'" film pulled the string. Tommy, bony, grisly nnd terrifying, sprnng suddenly to view, nnd the peddler, with one halr ralslng yell, dropped his bnsket and fled At the ame moment tho doctor, who hnd returned unnoticed hy another door, entered, and Joined with gusto In his wife's triumphant mirth. Hut as their laughter abated, they reallred that the discomfited man's wares must be re stored. He could be seen lingering un easily outside, and the doctor, who was n tall, lean, keenfneed young man threw a long cont loosely over his shoulders, picked up the basket nnd stepped out Twilight wns falling, nnd when the tall, thin figure In Its flapping garment ap peared and beckoned, n second yell rent the nlr, nnd Instead of approaching, the peddler backed ngalnst the fence. 'No, you don'ts, Tommy' he gasped feebly. 'I knows you, If you 'nf got on you.' elo'ss!'' Fortunately, he was too scared to run, nnd the basket wns easily thrust into l.ls hands. He must hnve passed the word along among his friends, for no more peddlers have troubled the house. A riirnvT r.Dn'on. The nnme of John Dilane stands out prominently In recent necrology, yet he was neither statesman nor poet, painter nor sculptor. He was for half a century editor of tho London Times, yet he was not himself a writer. "Indeed, his mot to," says Harper's Weekly, "was never to do anything himself that others could do for him. But his personality was of a sort thnt radiated power.
