What is Republicanism Now2

There was probably never so many
good protection Democrats in the
country as at the present time. Bur
lington Free Press.
How about the Free Trade Repub-
licans?" Boston Herald.
Not much left to say, Is there,
neighbor? We Republicans have been
rafting a good deal of Democratic
thunder lately, haven't we? But
where did the democrats get it in tne
first place Review the history of
American politics and see how the
line of cleavage between the two
great parties that have always domi-
mated it's affairs has shifted from gen
Grafton to generation, epoch to epoch,
to make herey orthodox on one side
and orthodoxy neretical, on the other,
only to exchange old lamps for new
once more and light up the old path
way with strange CLEAN. Neither
party can boast very much OF ALSO
lutte consistency. And it is an intel
ligent, farseeing, patriotic incon9!S-
tency that at times saves the govern
ment to its proper authority and the
land to its prosperity and progress.
There is no bigotry so wooden headed
as certain kind of socalled consis-
tency that will not learn anything new
or forget anything old.
Meanwhile, what is the distinguish
ing characteristic of Republicanism
now? There's a question for debate
that might keep the old lyceums busy
for a while.-St. Adams Messenger
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1909-07-24

amendment II the present suggestions
of public sentiment here are reliable
Vermont would, perhaps, approve the
granting of authority to Congress to
impose an income tax as an emergen-
cy measure, but would be likely to
oppose the exercise of that authority
in the present condition of the public
finances and national prospects. In
short, sne might be likely to hold that
as a precaution, it was wise to give
Congress this power, but that no
emergency now existed that would
justify its use.
There are many friends OF the in
come tax theory in Vermont and prob
ably their numbers are steadily in
creasing. But it is recognized here as
elsewhere, that in practice an income
tax is a difficult thing to collect and
that the law imposing it rather tends
to induce otherwise honest men TO re-
sort to perjury. Vermont knows what
that means in the matter of the in
quisitorial tax inventory that she de-
mands of her people once year, and
has been taught to distrust the oper-
alton of an income tax law, in the
present day, at least from the rich
experience of her own mistakes.-St.
Adams Messenger.

The Vermont Congregational con
ference made a wise selection. when
it chose President M. II. Buckham OF
tae University of Vermont as its pres
ident for the year ensuing. If there is
one man in Vermont who always says
the right thing at the right time in
the right way, that man is President
Observation-Disclosures Free Press.
We would not detract word from
the we'll earned fame of President
Buckham, but at the same time isn't
it about time that ne followed the
example of President Elliot of Har
ward and President Tucker of Dart
mouth and resigned. He has done his
work and done it well, but it is now
fitting that he should give up the
presidency of the university to a
younger man.

FIR AK 3. HOWE, Editsr and Publish,

The st. Adams Messenger inquiries
as to what constitutes Republicanism
now. Well, in the opinion of the Ban
ner, good Republicanism means
standing by those doctrines which are
in tne line of common sense and
which may reasonably be hoped will
be of the greatest value to the great
est number. Good Democracy means
the same thing. II doesn't mean the
extremes of Aldrichism on one hand
or the extremes of Organism on the
other.

The blue laws" don't trouble Ben
nington. The town supports Sunday
baseball games and band concerts. In
the olden days Bennington was the
center of the fight for liberty of ac-
ton and it's people seem to be even
now considerably in the advance of
the remainder of the state. Benning-
ton probably gets its ideas from
across the line in York state, where
they mimic the Old Country Sunday
just as far as the law can be stretch
ed.-Barre Times.
Bennington is no worse and possib-
ly no better than other Vermont towns
but hypocrisy is not as strong here as
in some places. Bennington gets its
ideas neither from New York state
nor st. Johnsbury. A large majority
of Bennington people recognize the
fact that it is no worse to go out into
pure air and bright sunshine to watch
a baseball game or listen to a band
concert on Sunday than it Is to thresh
around the country in an automobile,
or lie in a hammock and read cheap
novels or to sit around on back stoops
or front piazzas swapping doubtful
gossip and more doubtful stories. The
Times says that sin the old DAVIS Ben
nington was the center of the fight for
liberty of action" 1t was even more
than that. Had it not been for the
pluck and persistence of the men of
Bennington there would be no Yer
mont today. And today, as of old,
Bennington stands ready to lead any
battle for liberty that does not inter
fere with the rights of others. We
may and do have baseball games and
band concerts here on Sunday but We
don't try to fit other peoples consci-
ences to our own craniums or paste
our creeds into their prayer books
We are willing to compare public NOR
ais or private virtues vita any other
town in Vermont or anywhere else.
Not quite all Bennington people are
in favor of Sunday baseball, but this
is the first time we ever heard the
Sunday band concert questioned.
Even the clergy attend those and If
anybody by any stretch of the imagi-
nation can figure any harm from
them we have yet to see it.

vermont and the Income Tax

Newspaper speculations as to the
probable fate of the proposed income
tax amendment to the Constitution ot
the United States continue to except
Vermont as the only one of tne New
England states that may support 1t.
Why this reservation is made none OF
the contemporaries have set forth
Perhaps 1t is based upon the general
conclusion that Vermont is frequently
independent of the opinion of her five
sisters in affairs of national conse-
ouence and has been known to leave
them and go her own way on more
than one public issue.
TIE Messenger will venture the
opinion that, whether Vermont is an
exception or not, her Legislature world
be likely to approve the proposed

The Hens All in a FIutter

Every living thing in southern
Massachusetts and Connecticut seem
ed to take the passing of the balloon
as a mater of fact, except the chick
ems. The approach of tle balloon set
them to flying about wildly and cack-
ling at a great rate. The hens cackle
can be heard distinctly at the height
Of a mile. The popularity of the
general cackllng set up bv the hens
can only be explained on the ground
that they saw the eggs dropped from
the balloon. II is a hens prerogative
to cackle when an egg is dropped.
