At present country life is well un-
derstood and well appreciated by
crowds of boarders and dodgers from
the city and we might 90 so far as
TO assert that the farmers have long
been bending their energies toward
making life in the country more inter-
esting and attractive. There are mori-
bund hamlets, but wherever there Is
any progressive spirit at all you will
find the church, the library the town
hall with its accommodations for
strolling. Thesplans, the tavern with
its garage, the cottage with its pros
pectus eulogizing the pure country air
and the excellent board.
Even conceding the exceptions to
every rule, the farmer, instead OF being
made an object Of sympathy, deserves
congratulations for the progress he has
made partly by means of his own en-
ergy, partly through the cooperation
Of the agents Of public service work
such as the telephone and the trolley
car, partly under the beneficent atten-
tion of wise statesmen and shrewd
politicians. Indeed. but for the rare
cases Of slump, the farmer is well of

less than the few decades mentioned

The farmer needs attention, intelli-
gent consideration, prudent legislation

but so does the city man. He has his

ONE Democratic campaign, speakers are are
~ considering the question of the so-called
fundamentals" that divided political parties at
the foundation of the government They talk OF
the rights of the States the desire for the rule OF
the people and the difference between centraliza-
lion in government and the theory that the best
government is that which governs the least.
Mr.. Lewis. at the Democratic meeting last
Saturday, dwet upon these matters at length and
got down to what is sometimes called the bed
rock"
AS an academic discussion Of the differences
that divided Jefferson and Hamilton such pre-
sentations OF politics are interesting, but hardly
applicable to conditions OF to-day Certainly
they do not fat very tightly on Mr. Bryan, the
Democratic candidate. Ever since the entrance
OF Mr. Bryan into the national arena he has adj
vocated measures that SAVIOR OF federalism, and
there is no sign that he holds the strict construc
ton views that prevailed among the Democrats
OF long ago. Mr. Bryan, in his political opinions
has been affected considerably by the old Popu-
list ideas which stick out in his discussions.
Most of his pet schemes, if put into law, would
call for increased activity on the part OF the gov
ernment The government guarantee of deposits
in banks is an extension of Federal power, the
government regulation OF corporations and the
principle of government ownership OF railways
which, however, Mr.. Bryan has submerged dur
ing the campaign, all show that the trend of Mr.
Bryan's mind is towards government Federalism
In fact but a very small percentage of Americans
now have the old fear OF government activity.
The change is brought about because OF
the tremendous growth of the country, the
amassing Of huge capital, the formation OF
mighty industrial corporations that were I'M
thought OF a century ago. These have resulted
in new conditions so that the sentiment now
not only in this country but in other nations, calls
for increased government activity. And how this
activity can be guided so as not to interfere with
the right of the individual is the problem that
confronts our statesmen

vERMoNT,s ELECTION.

HERE was no evidence of a Bryan landslide
y in the returns of the State election in Yer
mont yesterday. Political leaders will be unable
to draw any very definite conclusions from the
result, except that If Vermont is TO be taken as an
indication Taft will be elected by an overvhelm-
ing plurality throughout the country. The Re
publican majority at an election complicated by
local issues reached the comfortable figures of
10000, falling off Of $500 as compared with the
State election four years ago. The Republican
vote dropped about eight per cent while the
Democratic vote fell off two per cent.
The Vermont election gave some indication,
however. Of what the Hearst ticket may do.
Judging by the Green Mountain State returns,
the Independence League ticket will not be very
formidable although Vermont has few cities, and
as the Hearst men expect TO draw their strength
from the great industrial centers, it may be as
sumed that the independence League will receive
larger percentage of votes in some other States.
The returns from Isl towns and three cities
out of a total of 24o towns in Vermont, give the
Hearst candidates 7o4 votes, the Prohibitionists
62o and the Socialists sos. In these towns, COM
pared with four years ago the Democratic vote
fell off about 800 and the Republican about 24oo
Burlington, the largest city in the State, went
Republican on the State ticket. but the Demo
cratic legislative candidates were elected, show
ing how the election was complicated by local
issues

TARIFF REVISION.

X 9TH parties agree that the tariff must be
~ revised. With Taft's promise of revision
and Roosevelt's well known attitude on this
question, il is hardly likely that the "stand pat
ters' will be able to hold up revision of the tar
iff much longer.
Mr. Bryan has discussed the tariff problem
considerably so far during the campaign The
question is whether the tariff will be revised by
the Republicans or by the Democrats. One thing
certain is that if he should be elected, Presi-
dent, Mr.. Bryan could do nothing to bring about
an effective revision OF the tariff. The Senate
would be against him, and the "stand patters"
would have excuse for delaying all changes in
the tariff. On the other hand if Mr. Taft is
chosen, there will be a revision of the tariff
schedules. Mr.. Taft has promised, if he wins, to
call Congress together Immediately after the
election to consider revision, and the work will
be entered into at once.
Hence there is more hope of tariff revision in
the event of Republican success than there is in
victory of the Democrats.

DEMOCRATS NEED MANAGER.

M r. NORMAN Z. MACK, chairman of the

ing for a manager of the Eastern end of the

the selection of the man. The Eastern manager
"must be man of rare executive ability, one who
can keep his forces constantly on the move and
in line OF action"
