country on party line 1t may not be
news that the modern farmer spends
his evenings exchanging his views on
most subjects from crops to the cam
paign. This is the greatest boon the
farmer has. More than anything else
1t will keep him from being lonesome
and from becoming narrow in his Wis.,
ion.
1t will be no surprise if the commits
sion appointed by President Roose-
welt reports that the telephone has
done more than anything else to make
life on the farm the pleasatn thing
it should be. At any rate there should
be something more than crops for
those who till the soil.

TWO SPEECHES.

A critical examination of the
speeches of acceptance of Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Bryan throws each into high
relief by force of contrast. Mr.. Taft's
speech was clear. logical, calm and
judicial. His method was to appre
ciate the difficulty, then to propose
sound legal changes for the removal
OF abuse The chief keynote was alb
solute freedom from prejudice-jus
tice for all. There was never a hint
of playing to the gallery, it was all
logic and no emotion.
How different is the speech of Bry
an. 1t is full of hazy meanings
phrases filled with innuendo. replete
with improved charges. emotional and
illogical. The reader hopes from time
to time to gain some idea of what Mr.
Bryan hopes to accomplish and b,
what means he will accomplish it
That time never comes Mr.. Bryan
has nothing tangible to propose.

Illinois gave the primary election
law a trial last Saturday. The plan
worked we'll in most particulars, but
the small number of voters who took
part in the election has attracted no
tice. The vote was less than a third
of what it will be in November, show
ing that the voters of Illinois did not
care SO very much about the matter.
AS years go on the vote will be less,
for it is a difficult matter to keep the
citizens up to their duty as members
of a government by the people. How
ever, primary election is far better
than the convention system, for State
and municipal nominations, and in due
time it will come to be the recognized
form of selecting candidates for office.
No man who has paid any attention to
our present methods but can recall a
convention or conventions where the
popular will was defeated by the ma
chinations of an astute group of politi-
cal managers. And so the primary
election should be welcomed

James S. Sherman, the Republican
Vice President nominee, who is to be
notified of his nomination next week,
Tuesday, has shown himself a broad
minded man. There is large Bryan
and Kern banner suspended over one
of the principal streets of Utica 1t
was suggested that the banner be
withdrawn on the occasion of the pa
rade that will be a feature of the no
tification day. Mr.. Sherman hoped it
would not be done. IN fact" he said,
81 believe that it would be proper
mark of courtesy and evidence of good
feeling if the organizations in the pa
rade on the day of notification should
give cheer as they pass under the
banner" The people of Lincoln. Ne
braska, Bryan's home, might take a
lesson from this action of Mr. Sher-
man in his home city of Utica. The
act of courtesy which he proposes will
not lessen the Taft-Sherman vote OF
Utica, at the November election. II
is cheering sign of the times tha;
there is less acrimony in the Pres
Dental campaigns of the present per.
iod than there used to be, and if the
present one should chance to breaw all
previous records and be carried
through without serious disturbance
we might be strengthened in the be
at hand.

An Actcr'a Tribute to Dickens.


While the world at large has gained
by Charles Dickens devotion to liter
allure, the stage lost one who, If be
had chosen TO adopt it as his calling
would probably have been the greatest
actor of his time. None who had the
good fortune to see the plays in which
he acted can forget his mastery of
stage technique. None who can re-
member his readings can forget his
vivid and lifelike powers of character
ization. Comedy and tragedy. humol
and pathos, each came readily within
his means. By his mastery of the
actors art terror. tears and laughter
were compelled at his command as
by his pen he compelled them in his
writings.-John Hare

SOMETHING MORE THAN CROPS

President Roosevelt in his request
for the investigation of modern farm
life by four experts has started an
other good movement. Although this
government has given the farmer
more attention than any other country
as Mr.. Roosevelt truthfully discerns,
all our efforts have been merely on
the subjects of crops and live stock
the physical aspects of the farm. 1T
is at least important that the farmer
should get the largest possible return
in money, comfort and social advan-
tages from the crops he grows. as that
he should get the largest possible re.
turn from the land he he farms" Mr.,
Roosevelt continues that country chill.
dren should be prepared for life on
the farm and scores the belief that
1.-The prizes of life lie away from the
farm"
The problem of being content with
farm life is being made less hard ev-
cry day. The rural free delivery, good
roads, the telephone. improved ma
chinery, better schools and travelling
libraries are beginning to make life
less dreary on the farm.
Monotony is the worst evil of coun
try life. In former years the incur
