The advise is good. but the trouble
is to get the one hired girl In the nrst
place. The distaste Of domestics for
country life and especially life on the
farm has greatly intensified rural prob
lens, and that as much as anything
has helped to depopulate the rural sec

in worse plight than she was forty
years ago. We believe this II transit

not until some way Of securing these

rather that the old opportunities are

the most earnest efforts are being
made to prevent the abuses OF the
past, to discountenance speculation on
a large scale and render all possible

WASHINGTON, 6ept.-Cheer for

Of the election In Vermont. A normal
majority in the Green Mountain state
indicates that the supporters Of Mr..
Taft have not as much to fear from
apathy among the people ~ they
thought they had. II in this sense
Vermont is truly barometer OF pub
lie feeling. a fairly full vote may be
expected in the north two months
hence. And with their known pre-
ponderance in most of the northern
states, the Republicans have q right
to feel that full vote promises well
for their cause.
The greatest actual benef1t the Re-
publicans are likely to derive from the
Vermont election In its psychological

The resolutions adopted follow.
I'VE. the representatives of the So
cialist party Of La Plata county, In
convention assembled, do reafflrm
our faith in the principles Of tho So
cialist party as declared by the inter.
national convention of Socialists, that
assembled In Stuttgart, Germany. in
1906, and which represented the hopes
and aspirations OF twenty million
working men and women In the CIV
ilized countries Of the world and which
principals were afterwards reaffirmed
by the national Socialist party of Am
erica, which assembled In Chicago
in the spring of 1908, which conven-
tion represented four hundred and
thirty thousand voters In the United
States; and which same principles
were again reaffirmed by the Social.
ist party In Colorado, which repre-
sents seventeen thousand voters, and
which principles are again heartily
endorsed by sos voters In La Plata
county. who happened to get their
ber who didn't.
These principles In which we here
affirm our faith and to which we here.
by declare our firm allegiance, are In
substance us follows:
THAT the products of toll belong to
the producers thereof That In or
der to get them, we rely on the sense
of Justice Inherent In the hearts OF
the American people. In whom the
law-making power rightly belongs. |
And we hereby pledge ourselves to
do everything in our power to rid
the people OF America of the political
corruption and boss rule which now
enslave them. and to aid In the es-
tablishment OF system Of direct leg
islation. through the Initiative and
referendum. under which system all
important laws. especially all laws
relating to taxation. will be made d.
rectly by majority Of the people, and
which laws will occupy the same
ground as the constitution itself,
which forbids their being repealed by
a Legislature, vetoed by an executive,
or declared unconstitutional by al
court.
Believing that 1t is only under
such a system Of laws that the toll.
ing millions Of America can get an
equitable share OF the wealth they
produce, we earnestly ask for the fore
going declaration of principles. the
hearty support Of the liberty loving |
people. regardless Of pre-
yious party affiliations.
