President Roosevelt's Policies,
Whether the finavcial stringency which
has been toppling values and impairing
business for some weeks is organized to
discredit President ROOSEVELT or not, it
is certainly making Secretary TAFT'S pro-
gress toward the White Hoose an arduous
journey. Business men who are unable to |
meet obligations hecanse of a lack of counfi-
dence are not certain. to reason aconrately
in searching for the canses of she trouble,
For years citizens of this country have heen
taught that panic are made or numade hy
the policies of the party in power. Of late
this notion has been confined to the idea |
thas the President is vot only the party
bus the government and thus equipped for
measuring conditions they are apt to hlame
everythiog that is inimical on the Presi.
dent.
We have never believed that prosperity
is the result of either legislation or admin-
istration. Abundant crops which are the
result of auspicious conditions and national
or individoal intelligence and industry,
make good times and the failure of the
#0il to produce has the contrary effect re- |
gardless of the political complexion of the
party in power or the President in office.
But business activity can be impaired by a
party or a President. The volume of trade
is influenced by the measure of confidence
which prevails and public confidence may
be greatly disturbed or even ocompletely
destroyed by the unwise utterances or in-
considerate actione of the President. We
don’t imagine that enforcing the law works
such results. But threatening ocaprices
sometimes do.
ROOSEVELT has not been wise either in
his utterances or actions since the begin-
ning of the period of financial stringency.
At the outset be undertook to interpret
what was really a grave danger as simply
an expression of the enmity of ‘‘malefactors
of great wealth’’ against himself. His
vanity was probably responsible for this
misconstruction but that hardly mitigates
the evil consequences which have followed
and yet menaces in greater proportion. If
instead of blathering about bis purposes
and policies he had proceeded in a rational
way to solve the problem and secure the
remedy, the bad results would have heen
minimized and his preferences in the mat-
ter of his successor would have had more
and better influences on the public mind.

Six CENT MILK FOR BELLEFONTE.—On
November _first practically all the big
dairymen who bave been serving Belle-
fonters with milk increased the price from
six to eight cents a quart, giving as their
reazon for so doing the ivoreased price of
feedstuffs. They failed to take into con
sideration, however, that, while milk is a
real necessity in the larder of the working
man, at eight cents a quart it became next
to a luxury, for the reason that the labor-
ing man’s wages have not been raised com-
mensurate with the increase of all kinds of
bousehold pecessities, olothing, eto.
Be that as it may, however, Bellefonters
are now assured of getting wilk in the
near fature at the old price. William
Carson, who lives on the Cartin farm east
of town, as well as wo or three other farm-
ers, have decided to go into the dairy busi-
ness and furnish milk at six cents a quart.
They are now having their wagons gotten
in readiness and expect to be delivering
milk in town within a week or ten days.
The milk question i* one which is being
agitated all over the country and Belle-
fonte seems to be having its share of hoth
the agitation and increase in price.
