WORTH REMEMBERING.

True blue republicans should not
forget what President Taft's admin
istration has accomplished in the way
of progress for the masses. Perhaps
ColoraR sRooseveit put the matter in
the briefest form when he pointed out
that Taft's administration was to be
credited with the following achieve
ments:
The creation OF a tariff commits
minimum tariff law treaties with
foreign powers; the proper treat
1nent OF the Philippines under the
tariff; the increase in the efficiency
of the interstate commerce law; the
programme providing for the taxing
power in connection with the corpo-
rations doing an Interstate business /;
a postal savings bank bill; the con-
sritution of commission to report a
remedy for apitalization in con-
nectfon with the issue of stocks and
bonds"
are many, but they are not the thing
OF most Importance, the things which
should be uppermost in the thought
of the voter. These must be recog-
nized as long strides ahead; and a
parcels post and other good things are
party to tie up to is the one which
not only promises but has a record
for performing.

WHERE AMBITION WAS UNPRoF.
TABLE

Vice President Sherman made a mis-
take when he became ambitious to
figure largely in the New York re-
publican convention and took such a
stand with the Old Guard against
Roosevelt and was selected to act as
temporary chairman by the managers.
Every body supposed then that he was
sure of being sent as a delegate; but
he has done his level best at Utica
and failed to carry the election. Mr.
Sherman win not be a duly accredited
delegate to the convention, although
he may be able to act as substitute
for regular who is willing to make a
vacancy to give the vice president a
chance. The Providence Journal, com
menting upon this political incident,
says:
There are some persons who may
see an improperly in the participa-
tion of the second officer under the
Tnfted States government in local
primary, and especially in his own be-
half; but Mr. Sherman is a very prac-
teal politician. and he has never ex-
hibited superfluous sensitiveness in
such matters. He may yet be elected
chairman of the state convention. for
which position he is slated by the
bosses; but at present he is not eligf-
BILE to sit as a delegate. and If he is
to do so it Will be necessary to give
him someone else's credentials. TIL
triumph of his opponent in his home
district is largely sentimental, though
not altogether SO. 1t may easily have
its effect on the final result at Sara
toga.''

Here is the advertisement which
Mrs. Parkinson read in a story paper:
With the aid of the little contrlv-
ance shown in the illustration you can
make one pound of butter go twice as
far as it has ever done before. Take
one pound of dairy butter costing. say,
80 cents. and one pint of sweet mix,
costing four cents. and put them to-
gether in this little machine and give
the crank a few vigorous turns ana
you have two pounds of firm sweet
dairy butter, worth 20 cents. Price
of machine. $3.50.''
1t was last week that Mrs. Per-
kinson read the advertisement. me
next day she sent a money order Tor
the machine. Mrs. Parkinson figured
that the Parkinson family used two
pounds of butter a week, and that by
using the machine she could save
about 80 cents each week. Thirty
cents a week at the end of the year
amounts to a new dress or bonnet

There were plumes on all her VISIONS

'Huml" Then she put it down and
walked across the kitchen and locked

tangled churn with complications.
Mrs. Perkinson's two sisters, Who

corner to send up a pound of butter

on her hat and started for the shop
ping district to pick out the bonnet
with plume.
The slam of the front door awak-
ened Mrs Perkinson's sister Sadie, who
yawned and stretched and took her
deep breathing exercise and then got
up and pushed her feet into her slip
pers and went to the kitchen to get a
drink of water. Before she had got
the drink her gaze fell upon the but
ter machine. Then she read the print
ed slip of directions lying on the eabi-
net.
sWen what do you know about
that?" asked Sadie of the ceiling. If
that machine works the way it says,
Jim and I ought to be able to get
married at once, for it would cut ex-
penses in two"
Sadie evidently thought married life
a very buttery sort of existence.
Greatly excited, she charged on the
refrigerator Soon she reappeared
with two pounds of perfectly good
butter.
"Ain't a drop of milk in the housed"
she announced. I'm phone for a

MAYOR eAYNoR AND THE PRESS.

Mayor Gaypor has no reason to BE
mealy -mouthbd in his estimate of the
New York press, for he had the honor
of being elected mayor of New York
without the support of a single paper
in that city; and he has proven to n.
a real reform mayor from the art,
although he has had all kinds Of on-
position and been subjected to every
kind of criticism. In writing to his
sister. recently, he said:
"But the time is at hand wlIer
these journalistic scoundrels have got
to step or get out, and ] am ready
now 10 do my share to that end They
are absolutely without souls. ii dc
cert people would refuse to look at
such newspapers the thing would
right itself at once. The journalism
OF New York city has been dragged
TO the lowest depth of degradation.
The grossest railleries and libels, IL
stead of honest statements and fair
discussion, have gone on unchecked.
one cannot help sympathizing with
the decent newspapers"
The mayor has reference to the un-
scrupulous sensational papers which
SANDER decent public servants and de-
ceive the people; and they are popular
because they are bold. Such journal
ism ought to be discountenanced by
decent people everywhere

TRUTHS FROM SPEAKER CAN
NON

That Speaker Cannon is an old war
horse in political campaigning and
gives voice to many wholesome truths
cannot be denied; and on the occasion
of his nineteenth denomination for con-
aress, the other day, he said few
| things not only quotable. but worth the
while of all republicans to make
note of Among other things he said:
The minority party in congress al
| ways INDUCES in talk about economy,
but they vote for the largest appro-
priations There are now in the
various committees of the house of
representatives bills introduced by
democrats alone. which would call
for appropriations amounting to
nearly $500, 900, 600 more than was
appropriated.
II have no defense to make of the
Payne law, for it needs none. 1t is
the enactment of the pledges made by
the republican national convention in
1908 1t is in keeping with the policy
lof protection which the republican
party has maintained as the correct
revenue policy ever since the election
of Abraham Lincoln; in fact, it is in
harmony with the very first revenue
legislation of the first congress under
the administration of washington.
That policy is to protect the Ameri-
can producer from the unequal com
petition of the foreign product, in or
der that we may keep our labor on
higher plane than is the labor of
Europe, Asia and the islands of the
sea.
My notion about progress is that
it should be movement forward, not
simply a loud noise about the neces-
sity for the movement. I have seen
men who promised to get so miles
out of an engine that had been MAX
ing only 80 miles an hour, if they
could only get hold of the lever, and
[ have seen some of them, in theif
ignorance. reverse the engine, send
ing it ana the whole train back
ward I have met the man who
claimed he could extract gold from
sea- water; but 1 have also seen John
T. Raymond play Col Mulberry Sell
ers and heard him get off that dramat
ic sentence, There's millions in H.
and [ have measured the serious
pretensions of the former with the
comedy of Raymond as he illustrated
the humor of Mark Twain. I nay
be a little old fashioned in such mat
tiers, but 1 prefer demonstration to
declaration. and our friends the
enemy who are demanding another
tariff revision to bring into effect a
revenue tariff in place Of the protec
tive tariff look to me like reactionaTies
who would reverse the engine and go
back over this phenomenal haf-cen-
fury of progress to the old order be-
fore the war;
Speaker Cannon knows what he is
talking about; and he knows that a re-
versal of the present republican poll
cies would mean a recurrence of the
hard Cleveland times. Are rational
republicans ready to turn the govern
ment over to the party of Bryan-to
democracy and disaster?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
As Mr.. Miller Views the Situation.

Mr.. Editor: The Bulletin of Tuesday,
Sept. goth, quotes from the HaTtfoId
Times the following:
AT present Simeon E. Baldwin is SO
conSpicuousIy better equipped for the
serious duties of the governorship that
if the competition were for any place
that is not regarded as political it
would be ended before it began The
apprehension among republican pol1-
ticiane is evidence of the appeal the
candidacy of Judge Baldwin makes to
the voters of Connecticut"
Also here is part of an article crit
icising the same from a Waterbury
paper:
What school can be suggested that
will better equip a young man for the
governorship than that afforded by the
position of secretary to the governor?
Add TO that experience, natural ability.
a liberal education. energy and the
young mans prerogatiVe of looking
forward instead of backward and we
have a much better equipment for ac-
tuaI accomplishment as governor than
can possibly be shown by any man OF
70, no matter how learned or how dis
tinguished he may be.

AGAINST Arbitration.

A commission to consider the ques-
ton of New York city's congestion of
population is met, in proposing to es-
tablish a local arbitration board for
labor disputes. by Mr. Gompers' strong
opposition. Mr.. Gonnpers does not be-
ueve in arbitration, basing his opinion
on the breakdown of the experiment in
New Zealand and on the general prin-
ciple that IF the award of the COM
mission is against the workers, and
they are comp slled to work against
their will, industrial slavery begins.
He might have quoted also the failure
of arbitration in England.
