FARMERS HAVE NO USE FOR
bryan TARIFF,

The farmers of Vermont. like their
for Mr.. Bryan and his plausible but
Elusive theories on a smashed protec-
tive tarin. When they compare their
present favorable situation with the
conditions which obtained under dem
ocratio rule. they know without tell
ing that they do not want to return TO
tho era OF tariff for revenue only.
During the past eight years the
farming Industries of the country-in
the middle West. In New England and
IN the South---have been continuously
ana wonderfully prosperous And In
this year. 1908. this presidential year
when the Bryan lieutenants are fgur-
ing out that they will gather In the
farm vote OF the middle West the
prosperity OF the farming Industries
is at the very top notch OF the high
record. The financial panic OF last
year scarcely touched tho farmers.
This year. notwithstanding the fact
that crops of cotton, wheat ana fruits
and the prospect for corn yield are
far above the average. farm product
prices continue 10 range high. The
farming industries OF the country
have been taught by experience that
their welfare is interb,ended with the
general welfare: when the factory

branches OF industrialism are active

NOVEL REMEDY FOR THE DIVORCE
EVIL.

Many students OF sociological ques-
tions in Vermont have emphasized the
desirability OF tha adoption OF meas
ures to lessen tho evils growing out
and the consequently increasing num-
Der OF divorces IN all parts OF the
country. Probably no opponent of d.
~orce. however. extreme would favor
Tho adoption OF tho tattoo sign on wo-
mems chins. advocated by Rev. Arthur
Raweic. a clergyman OF New Zealand,
at tho Winona Lake assembly. as n
preventive Of the divorce evil and
affinity craze.
Rev. C. Howard Davis OF Pcntacostai
Church of the Nazarene, Spokane,
we'll says that Raweie had better look
out for the women, for they will un-
doubtedly be on his TRAN for such n
piece of work. Rev. DIR. Campbell
Coyle of Duluth, said the tattoo mark
would be an infringement of personal
TlBntS ana otner pastors regard him
as a sensat!onalist. who is looking
for notoristy.
We are at loss to account for the fail
ure of the reverend New Zealander to
demand the application Of the tattoo to
the husband as we'll rs the wife as a
means OF stopping divorces. We assume
that the idea Involved IN the tatto theory
Is that the Disagreement will remove a
woman's chief charm and thus render It
difficulty for her to secure n second
matrimonial victim: but we fail to see
Ehy tho remedy should not be applied to
men AZ well ms women. IT is true that

ing results following the opening Of
our borders TO Canadian products by
the reciprocity arrangement of 1854,
which continued until 1866. During
that period the balance OF trade turn
cd against us. We had annually sold
our ncighbors OF the dominion $4,000
600 worth Of goods more than we
bought of them. but under reciprocity
we came to a point where at the end
Of the year we owed them balance

was for agricultural products.
In 1852 our imports from Canada
were only s5.a69,445. while our cx-
ports to Canada were sfO.2e2sos. In
1896. the last year of reciprocity, our
imports from Canada had reached the
collosal sum of sAs,52s.G2s and they

ada bought Of us s140.52o,bS1 worth OF
our products. while our imports from
Canada were only s6246o.B32.

his specious frecr trade theories. or
that they are resolved to improve

against him. when they vote on Sep

EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD VOTE.

The first essential OF good govern
ment is that every citizen should go
to the polls and vote. Some people
hold the erroneous idea that II the
members of the opposite party will
only stay at home and allow them TO
win, 1t will be victory for good gov
eminent. 1t would be sorry day for
any community or any State. however,
should the people become imbued with
the idea that a lively minority is not
one OF the safeguards OF popular gov
ernmcnt.
A party will do its best only when
II Is on its good behavior, and a mi
nority serves an excellent purpose by
leading the majority 10 constantly put
forward better men and measures than
might be chosen, were there no OPP
position to shed the light of publicity
on the acts Of such majority.
We speak advisedly, therefore, when
We say that in Vermont on September
! every citizen should vote.
1t Is also important that every citi-
Zen vote right, and II your party has
nominated good candidates. they
should be supported.

And golden glow lights up the way.
I tell the story ever new
Since Adam told II first that day.
And as speak the words OF love,
Her face Is wreathed In bushes sweet
An, roster than cheeks OF Eve,
When Adam pleaded at her feet!
And as she lifts her down-cast eyes
She Yields her trembling lips 70 me
All. Adam knew no lips Ike these,
Felt not this thrill of ecstasy!
For Eve was never such as she
Who clings upon my willing breast.
And never love was quite like this
Upon It's most triumphant crest!
Thus runs the world Of love along
The same old ways that Adam had!
But never lover will admit
That Adam had It quite as bad.
And never one but knows his Eve
IL fairer. purer than the rest.
With kisses sweetest that maid
Ere yielded on her lovers breast!
