The Canadian elections Tuesday re
suited in sweeping victory for TIN
| Liberals who will have about 30 major
ity in the parliament, after having beer
in the minority ever since their defeat
by Mcdonald Is years ago. The result
is highly important 10 mankind for scy
eral reasons. First the Liberals are lew
tariff men and it means closer CONNER
cial relations with the nited States I'M
less our own Tory policy prevents. See
ond it is n crushing defeat to the seeta-
rian school policy as represented by the
Manitoba issue and n rcbukc to priestly
meddling in politics and best of all Is
most emphatically rendered by Roman
Catholics themselves. The archbishops
and bishops issued a pastoral letter set
ting forth the duty of all good Catholics
to support the Tories. because they had
come to the support of the church's
school claims in Manitoba and as the
French Canadians have long been sup
posed to be completely dominated by
the church the Tory leaders figured that
this made them secure. But their worst
defeats have come in the Catholic strong
holds and Sir Wilifred Lauricr. the Lib,
aral leader. who will now form a minis
try. is Catholic himself.

very exact information at that time

The st. Adams Messenger, looking
over all this convention strain o
the past few months, feels constrained
to ask whether the game is really
worth the candle. - Who, it asks, car
point his finger to one solitary matter
of issues in the politics of the Yer
mont Republican party?"
Where is there a real live state is
sue that can be responsible for all this
tumut? The trouble is, not that there
is an issue, but that there is an abso-
lutte lack of one, or at least, If there Is
one, it is never made part of the
campaign.
The Messenger has, sunintentionally
of course. placed its finger on the ex.
act source of the dry. rot of Vermont
politics and of state government The
meaning, as the Messenger interprets
it, is that there should be fewer con
yentions, fewer caucuses and so less
"play politics. This would be just as
well in one view, inasmuch as the ring
does beforehand all that the caucuses
and conventions, children fashion.

way, and the people of Vermont will
wake up to the fact sometime, is to
have issues and principles between

the personal jealousies and wrangles.

The Farm Of The Future.

The Americen farm of the
future will be the small farm.
Large farms will no longer pay.
Change is written on every rural
industry; change of methods, of
implements, of modes of packing
and distribution. The farmer of
thirty years ago is becoming a
back number. 1t is a change
from priuative culture in the di-
rection of scientific farming,
from snrface scratching to thor
ough cultivation, from very low
to high yields, from waste to
economy, irrigation and clean
culture. 1t has been a slow
movementand is yet beginning
but its indications are numerous
and somewhat marked. The
revolution of mechanism in ag-
riculture has been as constant
and active as in locomotion by
bicycling. The implements and
machines OF to-day are superced
ed by different and improved
forms almost before they have
time to rust.
