A CURIOUS DEFENSE.

IN A SPEECH delivered in Vermont
the other day Secretary Taft took
occasion TO defend the presidents
practice OF hobnobbing with Repub-
lican politicians Of every character,
the Platts, the Addickses. the Paynes
and others who are more noted for
their political trickery than Tor their
public service. In tie course OF his
defense Secretary Taft said:
Were he to take the course marked
out as the proper one in such criticism
and ostracize. so far as conference
with him is concerned, the members
of his party whom the mugwumps do
not approve, he would divide his party,
tie his hands and destroy utterly his
power for usefulness TO the country"
This is part OF the truth only. More
important to Roosevelt than any di-
vision in the Republican party more
important than his power for useful
ness TO the country, is his ambition.
re wants to succeed himself in the
presidential chair. Therefore he feels
that he cannot afford to be overly nice
in the selection OF his campaign as
sociates. If Roosevelt did not consider
1t to his political advantage to be
friendly witH AddiekE and Platt and
Payne and-Others with more or less
unsavory political records, he would
quickly sever his connection with them
or theirs with him, as you choose to
look at -
Secretary Tafts defense Is unfortu-
nate in another respect. He will find
1t hard to make the American voter
believe that a president cannot be use
full to his country without the aid and
consent Of Addicks and Plat and
Payne. Secretary Taft would have US
believe that the president only confers
with Addicks and Plat occasionally.
Payne we all know TO be a member Of
his official family. one OF his confiden-
tial and trusted advisers.
It is not true that President Roose-
welt and Addicks. for example. have
only a comforting acquaintance. Has
not the president backed Addicks for
at least two years in Delaware? Has
he not appointed Addicks men to Of
fee over the protest Of the senate? Is
not Addicks a welcome guest both at
the White House and at Oyster Bay ?
Comforting acquaintance. indeed. Mr..
Taft win have 10 figure out another

Republican leaders are nervous over
the outcome OF the baIloting in this
little state next Tuesday. Many have
grown superstitious over that danger
line Of $4,000, and If the wires Tuesday
night tell OF a Republican majority in
the neighborhOod OF 80. 600 there wiz be
rejoicing all over the nation. On the
other hand, should the majority be cut
to the ueighborhood Of 10000 there will

sensation OF holding Office, ana who

home. Bryan got but 0.s37 votes In
the state in 1896. For this reason the
vote next Tuesday may be significant.

vsRMoRT's IMPORTANCE.

CST ONCE every four years the
J American people are reminded that
Vermont is still on the map. This Is
the first Tuesday in September pre-
eeding each presidential election On
that day Vermont jumps into national
prominence ny casting straw vote. p
The state is just about the right size
to cast a vote of this kind. and the
highest ambition OF the people seems to
he to show which way the political
wind is blowing every four years.
1t is doubtful if there is a less pro-
gressive state in the Union. Vermont
was the first state admitted after the
original thirteen. If she ever voted
for a Democrat the record is lost in
the haze of mythology. For the past
half century nothing has come from
Vermont but maple syrup and Repub-
iican majorities. The Democratic ma
tional committee is sending some OF
the best speakers in the nation into
the state to arouse the voters, and
yet the entire Democratic party of
Vermont would hardly make a good
crowd at Saltsir. Frank J. Cannon, II
he could get the bunch together, would
have little trouble in making them all
hear. at one time
And yet it is historical fact that
since 1872 Vermont has unerringly in
dicated the drift Of political sentiment
in the nation. Whenever the Repub-
lican majority has fallen below 25, GOO
in the September election before the
presidential election the country has
gone Democratic in November. The
figures On this point are interesting.
Here are the Republican majorities in
the September elections, beginning
with 1S72.

Senator Davis large business interests
in the vicinity of Piedmont have aided
greatly to develop the town, Keyser, FIVE
of Mr.. Davis energy. In 1868 he bought
the farm of Col. f. M. Armstrong, at what
was then called New Creek. and laid out
a town. which was made the county seat
of Mineral. when Hampshire county was
divided.
The next enterprise In town building
was at the mountain resort known as Deer
Park. In 1867, as before stated, he bought
several thousand acres of timber land there.
which was then but a forest. and began
his product to the railroad by means of
tramroad several miles In length. This
employed large number of men. who. OF
course, required homes A town was laid

II Is generally known that when Mr. Cleve-

Deals With Grave Problem.

Naturally, the duties and inquiries of the
transportation committee were entirely con-
genial TO him. because they brought him to
the practical consideration of a grave ma
tional problem with which his active career
before he entered upon politics had made
him familiar. In the long series OF in
Quiries made by the committee-in New
York. Philadelphia, Chicago and other
cities-he had a leading part and he i'm
pressed the merchants. flnanciers and rail-
road men of the nation with the fact tn at
he was aware of the gravity of the sub
Jest with which he was dealing
Senator Davis never posed as public
speaker. yet never lacked for words to ex-
press his thoughts upon all important ques-
lions. He dealt always in practical ideas
instead Of theoretical principles. The
speeches he made were valuable for the
fund of Information they contained, and for
the clear statement of the matters at issue.
This fact has given him a hearing and
gained him an influence that man who
deals with mere words could never have
attained. His service as chairman of
the Senate committee on appropriations
during the entire time his party was in
control of the body is familiar history
The great Importance of the work done by
this committee made 1t virtually the leading
one of the Senate, and Mr.. Davis presided
over 1t for two years with conspicuous
ability and fairness. When the republicans
again obtained control they created a spe-
clal committee, that he might retain the
prestige and privileges of Craftsmanship.
They also named him the first democrat
on the appropriations committee, which he
continued to hold to the end of his term.

has been as eminent as his success in life
