Progressive and Alive.

CIdFLOn Hecord.
 The city of Montgomery, always pro- gressive and alive to her own inter- ests. has begun a scheme that is bound to rebound to her immense profit It is planned to raise a large sum by sub city abroad. Judicious advertising al- ways pays, and Montgomery will be benefited beyond measure by telling the outside world what advantages she pos sesses. If other towns and their peo- pie will only emulate Montgomery's ex- ample and advertise, prosperity of the real sort will visit them.

contemporary affects to disbelieve the story that some of the wealthy contributors to campaign funds gave liberally to both the great parties. but we see nothing improbable about it Rich men are not in all cases bitter partisans, and one might well feel kindly to each party and be willing to do something towards keeping the pot boiling. But the same thing may also be done from a strictly selfish point of view. The man of many millions may not be able to forecast or foretell the result. and as a matter of business precautIon will place a liberal sum to his credit in the coffers of both cam paign committees. so that he may have something to look to. whichever side wins out. That would be business. not politics. and business Is apt to get in advance Of other considerations.

IT FEELS coon.

On the morning after the election The Hartford Courant concluded a bloomingly joyful editorial with these words:
 The people did an extremely good days work for themselves yesterday. That will be even more apparent---much more apparent-four years from now, we believe, than it is this morning.
 We sincerely hope The Courant is correct We hope the good days work" was putting into the Presiden- tial chair man who will so thorough ly weary and disgust the country with Republicanism that the people will turn out and bury the party and its candi- date deeper than they have buried the Democrats. In that way only can we see how the people did a good thing for themselves. Possibly The Courant may not look at it as We do for 1t has a habit of being stubborn and contrary on various occasions. Not till the ex- piration of the four years will we be able to tell whether Tuesdays work was good or bad, and it is just possible that when the time comes The Cour- ant will find itself wondering where the good comes in.
 Perhaps it is we'll that human be- ings are not able to foresee and fore- tell just what the future has in store. What may seem a cruel visitation of Providence at one time may turn out to be blessing in the end. Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth," says the Good Book, and perhaps we may say without irreverence that He sends this political disaster on us for our good. and that when we have endured four years of bad government we will come out. a purified and strengthened Democracy, ready and able to purify the Government and save 1t from the hands of the spoilers. Let The Courant remember that pride goeth before a fall" and not feel -unduly elated be- cause of possibly undeserved boost,

entirely the reverse. And after all men vote rather more from their impulses than from their convictions. Those who have opposed Mir. Roosevelt have done 90 upon grounds of principle. The majority is against them. They. of course. can only wait for time to vindi- cate the wimdom of their opposition to him and to his policies. The great pop- ular verdict he has had, we predict, wfli do more to weaken his party than close election would have done. and a failure of some one of our great agri- cultural harvests next year or the year after will bring Into clearer and more forcible view the certain tendencies which 1t represents.
