Good for Vermont!

Despite the heavy rain, which fell
continuously throughout Tuesday in
Vermont and caused a large stay-at-
home Republican vote, as is usually
the case on rainy election days in all
cities and states, that state endorsed
President Taft and Republican policies
by the great plurality of 1880 for
Mead for Governor, a plurality OF
about 10 per cent. larger than in the
last preceding "off year" 1906, when
Governor Proctor was given a plural
ty of 1920.
Vermont was true blue like the clear
skies above it's rock ribbed mountains.
Democrats, yesterday, who compar-
ed this weeks vote of Vermont with
that on clear day in a Presidential
year were as usual too soon in growing
for Vermont's election on Tuesday is
a Republican victory indeed

Aid to Merchant Marine.

Some of our Democratic friends who
are opposed to the State assisting
hospitals and the Nation granting aid
to our merchant marine should read
this from the Scientific Americana:
THE registered tonnage of vessels
built and owned by the japanese has
risen from $4,000 tons in 1902 to L.
1887 tons at the end of 1909
upon the sea by the Yankees of the
Orient are two fold at least. Japan
gives bounties to native ship builders
Of trade vessels; it also gives naviga-
ton subsidies to 12-knot ships of over
1000 tons owned by Japanese subjects
and it costs. for running japanese
ships with Japanese crews. far less
than for sailing American ships under
the present acts of congress with re-
gard to food and pilotage fees.
While Americans interested in ship
building and ship sailing are endeav-
oring to awaken Congress to the nee
essity of helping this important indus
try arise almost from its grave, the
japanese are Selling upon the Pacific
coast trade and buying up entire lines
of American coast steamships and
those to foreign ports which American
owners cannot profitably run in COM
petition with subsidized lines.
During the Spanish war this gov
eminent found great difficulty in OBJ
tanning transports and Golfers and the
need is liable at any moment again te
arise when the service of American
ships shall be urgently in demand
The Republican party in its platform
and President Taft in his speeches en-
dorse aid to our merchant marine

cause of its freee trade tendencies an6
partly because of inherent character

The Car and the Home.

That the automobile and the craze
of the American people for joy riding
is responsible in part for the high cost
of living, the relaxation in the sale of
real estate for homes and the engend-
ering of a spirit of rivalry. envy and
unrest has been said.
That the automobile craze is imperil-
ing the business stability of Americans
is being now discussed.
The fact is that thousands of per-
sons in America, who are not finan-
cially able, are purchasing these road
flyers for joy riding and the question
able privilege of stepping into the au-
tomobile class of American "aristoc-
racy"
One automobile firm in a Western
city holds mortgages upon $500 tour
ing cars, 100000 in one state and
| 80 O0O, 900 in another are recorded in au-
tomobilc mortgages and in one West
ern city Of 100000 population 1000
Which seems to prove that many
automobilists are posing as wealthy
who are not and this is not the worst
aspect of the case, which is that the
possession of L car leads to waste OF
time, extravaganza and neglect OF
business, besides neglect of homes.
A gentleman in New York City re-

Maine and at one time business wo-
man of Augusta, "$5. 800, the price OF
that car, would have bought you a
beautiful home"
Don't need a home with an auto
mobile" was the owners reply.
The automobile craze is detrimental
to substantial investment of money
and conducive to increasing the unpro'
ductive and ornamental class and sc
the cost of living.
While families of wealth and abund
ant means and men of financial re-
sources may properly purchase ano

wealthy kept their horses and car.

NEW TYPES OF RIVER BOAT.
Propelers on Vessels and Use of Oil
Engines Will Improve Traffic.

1t is stated that a company actively
interested in the navigation of the
Missouri river between St. Louis and
Kansas City will not only introduce
prOpellers on a vessel now in prepare
ton, but also employ the oil engine
that. invented in Germany, has made
rapid progress in that country and is
to be employed on a liner of the first
class. A survey of navigation as now
conducted impresses the fact that the
material improvements in the size.
speed and general attractiveness of
vessels have been on the oceans and
lakes. In no case have permanent
deep channels failed to lead to the en-
largement of the boats used and to add
to the comforts of a passage At the
same time safety has been promoted
and there are few places where a
sense of security is better justified
than on an ocean liner, with its steel
hull in compartments and it's wireless
instruments communicating with other
ships within a range of hundreds of
miles. Since lake channels We're
deepened by Government appropria-
tions from six feet to more than 90 the
type of vessels has been greatly en-
larged. the speed increased and the
facilities for loading and unloading
bettered much more than tenfold.
AS yet but little has been done for

souri, but the appropriation for the

ginning on the right scale. River boats
Of a new pattern will come in when a

case on the Rhine and numerous other
rivers of Europe. Two steamboats, re-
Gently lost in the Mississippi by strik-
ing the bank or other obstruction

provided with steel compartment
hulls. Existing river boats have been
built on the old models and the uncer-
tainty in the depth of channels has
been a barrier to a general spirit OF
Improvement. Steel construction, pro.
pellers, turbines and a speed Of over ~
miles an hour have become an old
story on oceans and lakes. Little that
is new has been tested on the rivers.
But in the light of what has been ac-
complished in Europe the steady. sue
cessful navigation of rivers is not
problem at all but an assured thing.
A demonstration of improved naviga-
ton on the so-called intractable Mis-
souri, would be a fine start for new

North While.

It's easy enough to be pleasant.
When life flows along like song:
But the man worth while is the one VINO
will smile
When everything goes dead wrong:
For the test of the heart is trouble.
And it always comes with the years.
And the smile that is worth the praise OF
earth
Is the smile that comes through tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent.
When nothing tempts you to stray:
When without or within no voice Of sin
Is Turing your soul away:
But it's only a negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire.
And the life that is worth the honor OF
earth
Is the one that resists desire.
By the cynic. the sad the fallen.
Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds highway is numbered today:
They make up the item of life.
But the virtue that connuers passion.
And the sorrow that hides in a smile.
1t is these that are worth the homage OF
earth,
For we find them but once In while.
