StrateO.
A new election law is to be tried in st.
Louis under which the name of every citi-
zen who fails to vote will be printed
and kept on file by the election commits
sioners. If this means that the names of
delinuuents are to be printed and filed
away in pgeon-hole to be buried in
dust, the chances are that the remedy
will not prove to be effective. If, on the
other hand. the names of those VINO fail
to vote are to be posted in public places,
the question Of personal rights and un-
due publicity may present itself as an
embarrassing problem.
If a man were to lose the right to vote
for five years, when he neglected to ex-
ercisc the right of suffrage two years in
succession without n good excuse, or TO
forfeit the right to vote in the succeeding
election when he fails to go to the polls
just as he does when his name is not on
the grand list, il might be found an in
ducement to go to the polls.
When one considers the way in which
our forefathcrs fought for independence
and the right to elect their own govern
ment, national and local, it ought not
to be necessary for any man to require
some outside pressure to go to the polls
Self government reaches its highest stage
of development only when the people iui-
ly appreciate all its rights and privileges
and when one out of every three voters
remain away from the polls there is evil
emily something wrong.

FEDERAL EXPENSES COMPARED
WITH SOME OTHER THINGS.

Mr.. John Rose of Baltimore has per-
formed valuable piece of public service
In the preparation of a table in which
the per capita expenditures of the gov
eminent for the past % years are placed
side by side with the postal receip:s;
railroad receipts and bank deposits The
figures show that the expenditures Of the
government in 1850, under President
Hayes. were 1914 per individual Of the
people Of the United States; that they
fell gradually to 1885, when under Presi-
dent Cleveland. they fell to sia2; that
they rose to s5T in 1898 and exceeded IS
every year during Mr.. Cleveand's second
term; and that in 1898 they had risen to
$685..
In the same period the postal receipts
rose from &C cents in 1850 to 81. 66 in 1903
the receipts of the roalroads rose from
Sl223 in 1880 to $o3.37 in 1903; the savings
bank deposits rose from 1888 to sac 30; and
the individual deposits in the national
banks from $2O.06 to so. i6. These figures
show that the business of the country
and It's wealth have, in relation TO pop
ulation. increased much more rapidly
than have the expenditures Of the govern
ment, although freight rates are now
much lower than they We're in 1880 the
gross receipts OF orr railroads are pei

what they were in 1880. The deposits in

Maine, az the New York Tribune sug-
gcsts. is not so sensitive a political bar
ometer as Vermont. Its September vote in
presidential years has not always faithful
ly reflected the drift of sentiment in other
parts OF the Union. In 1850, when General
Garfield was elected, Maine chose a dem
ocratic governor by n plurality of 1863
votes. Four years later. the republican
plurality in September was 1856 Yet
in November the national ticket lost in
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana. In 1858, the September plurality
in Maine was about 1850 less than the
plurality OF 1884.
Since 1852 however the vote Of the
Pine Tree State has been a surer gauge
OF national sentiment Ir that year, when
the low republican plurality Of 9,703 was
returned in Vermont Names plurality
sank to 1903. In November the republ-
can national ticket was defeated in New
YORK, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Colorado, Nevada.
Idaho, California and Kansas In 1896
and 1900 the republican pluralities on the
~
first Bryan campaign and 34,132 in the
second.
This year the democratic managers
counted on a lapse to the conditions of
ISIS and 1892 whereas, on largely in
creased totalvote, the balance between the
two parties in Mr. Bryans second canvass
us but slightly changed. The safe and
sane leadership of 1904 is no more potent
TO delude the voter than the unsafe and
insane leadership of 1900 AS for tho
contention that predictions in this cam.
paign must be based on the assumptior
that the conditions of 1892" have come
again, the following table showing the
difference between conditions in 1892 and
conditions in 1904 in the three Northern
states which have so far held elections is
pertinent.

TRADING STAMP LEGISLATION.

Jr speaking a number of weeks since
concerning the desrability of the passage
of an anti ,radirg stamp measure by the
Vermont Legislature at its coming ses-
sion the FREE PRESS showed the ex-
tent to which public sentiment was op-
yosed to this barnacle or trade and re-
ferred to the legislation of this character
enacted in the Empire State. The New
England Grocer of a recent date takes
up the subject of trading stamps and
after quoting at length from our editorial
concludes as follows:
1.-The New York law. of which so much
was expected, has run against IL judicial
snag: as We read the decision it really
turns upon the provision exemptinS GER
tain business men from the provisions OF
the law. That makes it class legislation.
No such flaw exists in the Massachusetts
enactment, and we Urge our Vermont
friends to secure the passage of law
similar to that which goes into effect IN
the Old Bay state next December 1t is
an excise tax and clearly within the legal
powers of the Legislature and therefore
constitutional"
The suggestion OF the New England
Grocer comes in good time for adoption
in this State and it is to be hoped that
the members of the new Legislature Will
hear this point in mind when they come
10 consider the matter of an anti-trading
stamp law.

SELF-DISFRANCHsED VOTERS

Interest in the national sipniGconco or
Nermonts election, closely followed. as
1t has been, by the contest in Maine has
served to overshadow one serious dovcl.
opment in connection with the exercise
OF the right OF suffrage in our State.
namely, the extent to which voters prac-
tically DISTINGUISHED themselves In Rrr
linSton, for example, there were LAOS in
dividuals who had the right to vote. hut
as matter Of fact only about 5000 went
to the polls. the vote for representative
having been 2,s9a as compared with a
total vote for governor of 2,9sG a vote
of ? G.l for States attorney and of o944
for sheriff
This means that in round numbers 400
voters in Burlington for various causes
remained away from the polls. 10 state
the situation still more forcbly of those
who were entitled to cast their ballots
in this city practically one out of every
three neglected to exercise this great
right and often-sought privilege.
IN view of the extent to which rcrub-
licans and some democrats are exercised
voters in different Southern States, IL is
easy to picture the results which would
have followed, i! this army of !. 400 voters
in burlington mad been informed that
they would not Dc allowed TO cast their
ballots for the State and local tickets on
September 6. 1t Is safe to say that the
great majority of their number, Who were
jntn u H., ,;,I,..
able obstacles would have allowed moth
ing to stand in the way of their defense
of their right of suffrage, and in case
of resistance they would have fought tc
reach the ballot box. Yet because they
knew they could go to the polls and vot,
their full rights as American citizens
and frcemen OF Vermont they spurned
| the ballot or treated it with supreme in,
| difference. What is true Of burlington in
| this respect is also true of other citic.
| and larger towns in Vermont to a greater
| or less extent.
When one considers this question in al
| it's bearings it is not surprising tina
measures should be considered to over
| come the indifference manifested by citi
cents with reference to the exercise o
the right of suffrage. Various ways hav
been suggested TO induce men TO vote
In New York men who remain away from
the polls are to be given the preference
when it comes to call for jury duty
1t can readily be understood that mel

but whether or not this preference vii
be remembered by all citizens on electio
day to a degree that will ensure com
paratively full vote remains to be demon

both our national and our savings banks
are more than twice as great as they
we're in 1880. The greatest increase in all
is to be found in the receipts of the post
office department--that is, in what the
people pay for postage stamps. In 1903
the postal receipts were relative to pop
ulation two and a half times as great
rs they were in 1880, says Mr.. Rose: The
aggregate increase in governmental ex-
pendturc does not appear quite so Sin
lister when it is remembered that the
per capita excess of governmental ex-
pendturcs in 1903 over 1850 Is "a cents
while on the average every man, woman,
and child in the United States last year
voluntarily paid 81 more for postage
stamps than he or she did In 1850, al
though postage stamps are cheaper now
than they were twenty-four years ago.
The fact is, of course, that the more
dense the population and the more active
its industry, the greater will be the
expense to the government. This is true
partly because as the population be-
comes Weather the standard of com
pcnsation for government employees rises
and the conditions which the govern
ment requires for the transaction of its
business become more costly, partly
because with the greater activity and
complexity Of business life the govern
ment is continually called on to assume
new functions and to perform new duties
I'VE have now an interstate commerce
commission. bureau of corporations, an
immigration commission, and we inspect
imported food products, and. to some
extent, look after the enforcement Of
quarantine regulations. 1t is perfectly
certain that we will do more things of this
kind IN the future. Human nature being
what it is, no administration and no
Congress Will ever pay quite so much
attention to watching small expenditures
