THE Belle Meade Farm of Bed- . ford, Mass., is well known

for its thoroughgoing and scientific methods, and is a mdédel in many respects. Its big stables are all covered with Amatite Roofing. The owners write us as follows: : _

#lt is now nearly three years since we put your Amatite Roofing on our new 300 ft. buildings. This Roofing is now in its third winter and has gone through without a leak, and thereis every indication that it will be good for many years. The buildings with this light, sparkling Roofing and the red trimmings as painted, are very attraetive in appearance, and ‘altogether we are much pleased with your Amatite Roofing. We are contemplating the construction of some further buildings for our Shetiand Ponies, and mean to use more of your roofing.”’

If the Belle Meade farm people had chosen a ‘‘smooth surfaced’’ roofing it would have cost them more in the beginning and the difference would have become greater every year. Those roofs were laid in 1905. In 1907 they

The Amatite, however, has hod no painting, and needsnone. The mineral surface takes care of that. When. the roof finally wears out and the owners of the Belle Meade Farm compute the cost of their Amatite Roofing they will put down “‘for the Amatite, so many dollars;’’ ‘“‘for care of same, nothing.”” If they had used a painted roofing there would probably be several coats of print to figure on, besides the original cost of the roofing, and the total would be several times as much as Amatite.

- It does not matter whether your roofs be large or small, it is wasteful to use anything but Amatite. ’

It i 8 therefore unlikely, it is added, that the board of trustees will be in position to take up for some little time the matter of designating depositories. Already much of the preliminary work to facilitate the establishment of postal savings banks is well under way. The bureau of engraving aud printing has submitted proofs of savings cards to be used which will bear imprinted upon their face a ten cent stamp to represent’the initital cost to depositors. It bas also prepared an artistic adhesive stamp of a ten cent denomination to be sold depositors and attached to the card until the savings thus accumulated represent in the stamps $1 or multiples thereof. ' The imprinted stamp bears the words, “This card has a value of 10 cents.” The adhesive stamp has the inscription *“United States Postal Savings, Ten Cents.” The former -stamp is rather plain, but the adhesive stamp, while proposed to be printed in black and white, has a pleasing design with a background of lathe work, making counterfeiting difficult. It is hardly to be expected that the entire system can: be put in operation this year, and it is, indeed, a probability that it will be almost a year before it is possible to extend the facilities to the entire country, but it is the determination of the administration to expedite in every practical manner the establishment of the machinery and its installation throughout the country. The first steps after the completion of what may be termed the parent organization will be the extension .of the facilities to those communities in which the greatest need exists, but there will be no halting, and, that done, the work of extending the machinery to all sections in which any demand develops—and it is doubtful if there will be many in which there is no de-mand-—will be steadily prosecuted.

Kansas asd Nebraska Insurging In Different Uirections— What Shall We Do With the Secand Cousins of the Great }-—A Successor to Aldrich. _ By JAMES A EDGERTON. i [Our Regular Correspondent.) ’Elih} suminer capital, like the president. seems to have the traveling habit. Sometimes it is at Beverly, sometiimes it is ducking in and out among the islands along the Maine coast, and sometimes it is at Bar Harbor or Senator llale’s home or any oune of forty other 11|ilces. There is nothing that is quite certain about its probable future location, except that it will be somewhere in the immedinte vicinity of a ‘large gentleman weighing 285 pounds. This gives assurance that wherever found it will be covering ground. It may go forward withh a limp. but is 'still on the move. Not infrequently it is found bobbing over a golf liuiks. knocking out eighteen holes on a hot day. At still other -hours it is in the gymnasium trying amid immense perspiration to reduce tlesh. Yet again it is discovered making speeches, breaking speed records in an automobile or shooting over the waters aboard the Maytiower. Never peirhaps did a mere summer capital lead such a hop, skip and jump existence. It scarcely can tell twentyfour hours ahead at what corner of the earth it will next pull up. There is a

PRESIDENT AND THE MAYFLOWER, polite fiction that it is located at Beverly, Mass., however, and as this is true occasionally and for brief intervals it is just as well to humor the hallucination, When William Loeb on his celebrated visit to Beverly remarked that Taft ‘and Roosevelt would work independently, but perhaps toward the same ‘ends, the country was a trifle mystified as to just what Loeb meant. Subsequent events have begun to make Ithis plain. The word “independently” is found to ‘have the same definition ‘that it had in Noah Webster's day. Ac‘cording to that eminent wordologist, independently means “in an independent manner; without control.” That hits off the present situation to a T, or, rather, to a W. H. T. likewise to a 'T. R: In aether words, gentle reader, Oyster Bay is not trying to give ad'vice to Beverly and Beverly is not asking for advice frcm Oyster Bay. Each is moving along its-own orbit without regard to the curves followed by the other. Conflict? Bless your life, no. There is not even a war cloud as big as a man’s hand. The two figures that make these places famous are simply leaving each other aione, that is all. Taft has marked out his course and is following it. ' Roosevelt is marking out his course and will follow that. Nothing could be simpler. Will these two courses lead to the ‘“‘same ends?’ As Loeb said, ‘‘perbaps.” :Farther than that no man can tell. There is not a political prophet in the icountry, or at least none whose, dope is worth following, that has the bardihood to tackle the proposition. : ;

The Nebraska situation is, to say the least, siightly mixed. Bryan wants local option. The Democrats turn down local option and the Republicans take it up. It that is not a situation, then ‘we are liable to live in the world a long time before seeing one. Bryan Is so used to Waterloos that he is 'never happy without one. He is so accustomed to going into the enemy’s country that he imported the enemy’s country into his own state to make it-seem llike home. But it is not the first time zthat he has bit the dust in a righteous cause, only to rise again the next year.

. A New York attorney proposes what he calls “A Lawyer's Column” in the newspapers.. In it he would have legal lights shine for the purpose of illuminating laws enacted and proposed. He thinks the stump speaker and editors are not sufficiently exact and well informed to present these matters to the public. Since the-lawyers make up the majority of miost legislative bodies and hence have the chief part in making the laws they should be -the ones to explain and expound them. By all means! Let the lawyers write & column in the newspapers and present exact information to the putlic. There is probably not an editor in the country but would welcome such con-

tributions. As to the stump speakers, whowmw this gentlewnnn retlecis on even movre thap - does ou the members of the press. we were ander the impressionl that most of these spellbinders are themselves lawyers. Why do not these lawyer stump speakers give to the peopie the accurate information, the lack of which forms the basis of this New York lawyers wail?

The relative of greatness! What are we to do with themny Here is Taft who has two brotners—three to be exact, bur ounty two in politics! Here is Theodore Roosevelt who has a son-in-law and a nephew! How are we to make roow for the second cousin of genius aud the brothers-in-law of the mighty? What rank shall we assign to the Brother Charlies who own newspapers, baseball uines and interests in

Mexico; and the Brother Henrys who are menibers of Wall street law firms? To what niche shall we assign the sous-in-law who are already in congress and tae nephews who want to be there? - Must Uncle Sam in choosing a president be like the young man who takes unto himself a wife only to find that he has married the whole family? However these things be, the fact remains that Thecdore Douglas Robinson wants to represent. the distriet that so long furnished a springboard for Sunny Jim Sherman. The colonel says, that if Nephew Theodore lands the nomination he will be most happy to go. up aud stump the district_ for him. Not for the world., however, would be say one word to influence the free choice of the party in naming

a candidate! DPerish the thought! All of which reminds us that Colonel Shakespeare’s saw about the three kinds of great men should be dusted off and given a new setting: Some are born great, some are born near great and some are born relations to greatness.

David E. Thompson, formerly ambassador to Brazil and Mexico, recently blew into Oyster Bay to tell Colonel Roosevelt that either he would have to run for president in 1912 or a Democrat would be elected. Roosevelt's reply is not on record. Probably he made none. Thompson used to live at Lincoln, Neb., where he was a railroad superintendent and was knowr in a quiet way as a political boss. Then he ran for United States senator and after one of the longest deadlocks in the history of . the state was defeated. Strangest part of all this combination, he is a leading Christian Scientist.

The newspaper man is bound to come to the frout in politics as elsewhere. Look at Warren G. Harding, who is running for governor of Ohio. " Harding started life as a reporter, then bought out a paper that everybody thought wus a dead one, blew into its nostrils the breath of life and made it a sheet that Old Subscriber and Pro Bono P’ublico were proud to write for. Since then the Buckeye, candidate has been a state senator and lieutenant governor. Originally a Blaine man, he later transferred his hero worship to Joseph Benson Foraker, but finally has ggfg&i to be a follower and has become a leader in his own right. He is now credited with being the -best stump speaker in Ohio, which is going some, as any one who is acquainted )vith Ohio stump speakers knows. - The Ohio Republicans. realize that they have a rather stiff chore on hand to beat Judson Harmon this year, but Harding will give him one of the old *vim and vigor” campaigns that made Foraker famous. W hether victory will be added to the alliterative trinity November alone can decide.

While President Taft has refused in a general way to interfere with the naming of state candidates or the writing of state platforms, it is certain that the administration will be drawn into the convention and primary fights, as has already happened or is happening in Ohio, lowa, Kansas and elsewhere. It is significant that in most instances, though not in all, the g federal influence is being thrown Ty to the regulars .\m + and against the e insurgents. At cifoT .hw léast the progresfg/ sives make this | ¢ 1 charge while in8¢ . = themselves have “;gfw been true to the =o i@ Taft policies. 2y V%wgg an especially bitPP SR b ! ter fight i KanI sas. where Gov--2 & . ernor Stubbs has % f;z% led the insurgent ¢ . forces aud has g drawn the fire of £ Senator Curtis e and of the six o % regular congress- ‘*; &g\ . men, Anthony, », 3& Scott, Campbell, ol Qe Calderhead, Miller and Reeder. ® ®#¥ . The Stubbs SENATOR BRISTOW. forces put up a progressive candidate against each of these men, whom they denounced as “Cannon congressmen’” and as representatives of Aldrich and Wall street. Against the two insurgent representatives, Murdock and Madison, there was no fight. Senator Bristow lined up with Stubbs and the progressives. The only outside speaker was Uncle Joe Cannon, who dearly loves-a row, and in Kansas found what he was looking for. Cannon stood by the six men who had stood by him. His foes said that by going on the stump for them he did them more harm than good. After looking at the result of the Kansas primaries we are entitled to our own opinions on that score.

EOSS. tracted wide attention to him in the past year, and it is now believed that if he can keep himself in the public eye he will be practically certain of a place on the Democratic national ticket in 1912. Foss is the sort of business man that every politician welcomes into politics —until he gzets in.' It’s ‘on the level with him. * He doesn’t care about being elected —t» hold an office is bound to interfere tremendously with a dozen or 80 busiuess enterprises—but he dearly loves to fight. .He is a dynamo in breeches. I[le began life as a lumber salesman and put a prohibitive tariff on the pursuit of happiness for his competitors. [Finally he was taken into the opposition firm, married the opposition’s daughter and has- been putting into practice a number of highly -original ideas ever since.

Why do some men succeed so tremeundously, while others just plod along and fail to get out of the rut? Well, take the case of Lewis Nixon, the famous shipbuilder, who has just been- appointed chairman of the committee for the betterment of steamship service by the pan-American conference.

At Annapolis Lew Nixon more than “made good.” In fact, he justified his appointment to o such an estent in ‘*“é;* 4 the estimation of S S teq his patron that to- §& = . day the record &¥ made by General i¥ ¥R Loy Eppa Hunton’s ‘\‘\*/ protege is a prece- “ﬁ dent set for other cadets.

Ip 1882 he was graduated LEWIS NIXON. at the head of his class and with a phenomenal record in all his classes. *How did you manage to do it?’ he was once asked. To which he replied: “1 just worked. 1 knew what 1 wanted, and | just rolled up my sleeves and worked to get it.” ) And it was by rolling up his sleeves and working that brought his later successes.

You will see the name of Thomas L. Hisgen of .Massachusetts mentioned frequently in the dispatches from now on, for as president of the independent petroleum marketers he is going to lead the fight that organization now proposes to make against the Standard Qil company. Mr. Hisgen was born in Petersburg. Ind., on Nov. 26, 1858. His

‘ e R father was a Gerg& man, and Thom- } gR4 as was the fifth £ 3EEm of eleven chilI - .. . 745 dren.

Later the .sons established a small. factory and manufactured the grease for sale. ‘ The business is now large and successful, and it is said that the Standard Oil company once offered $600,000 for the plant. o

Dr. William T. Hornaday. who has been engaged in a controversy with Secretary Nagel over the destruction of ‘the seals on the Pribilof islands, became the head of the New York Zoological park because he was the one man on the continent who ought to be at its head. and he is staying there for the same reason. He was born in Plainfield, o Ind., in 1854, and . &5 'with the exception of one period of 3> W ‘error, during §‘{ which time he dab- Vit bled in the real e estate business, he P has been in the s 5 wild animal line— 'p‘ alive, dead, skin- e ned and stuffed. il : The list of the sportsmen’s clubs he bélongh to DR. HORNADAY. would fill a book, and if he wore all the medals with which he has been adorned for his services when he went out still hunting he would sound like a tin shop falling off a Lip roof. Dr Hornaday has published a dozen or so books of real scientific value and has bunted big game everywhere.
