Apropos of President Me1len's- recent statement that the t'mere amount of a company's capital bears no relation to the actual possible gross or net earnings of the company. the following by Moody in Moody's Magazine is of special interest:
 For a generation or more nearly all the large railroad systems in this country have from time to time put out heavy amounts of securities, par ticularly stocks, which have represent ed not cash but simply a capitalization of current earning power. During the past fifteen years the Great Northern system has issued at least $50, GOO, 900 of stock in this way; the great reorgan- ized properties. like the Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and Atchison, have outstanding enormous stock issues which originally simply represented voting power and practically no in vestment of property. Other roads, like the Rock Island, have readjusted their capitalizat tion in recent years on a basis which has carried the imitation principle to a far greater extreme.
 roads in the matter of capitalization has been to continuously offer to stockholders the right to subscribe for new issues of stock at par when the market value of the stock itself has ranged sometimes at almost double the par value.
 The law in Massa chusetts in relation that every public utility company, when issuing new stock, must first of fer it to stockholders at or near the market value. In the event of the stockholders not subscribing for the new issue the law then requires that

The Democratic nominee for Cover nor of New York, Hon. John A. Dix said in his speech of acceptance on Wednesday:
 Of most vital importance to the peo- pie, Is the menace offered to the var dous institutions of the country by the new nat1onalisn, fathered and advo- cated by new apostle of discord and dissension. We have already had to our cost ample proof of his ability to disturb business, destroy values and create a condition of panic country wide in it's evil effects. But if with all that, he is to be permitted to sue ceed in his campaign to weaken or de- of the United States; to take over to the central government the powers re- served to the states. to substitute the will of the President for the will of the people, as expressed through all the regularly chosen officers of the federal government and to set arbitrary and enterprise may 1egitimate1y se- cure, then all the sacrifices made by the founders of the republic, all the blood-shed for it's preservation, will have been in vain, and we shall see in a time of profound peace a dangerous disturber bringing about the destruc- tion of free people, against whom all have been hurled in vain.
 Washington advices state that as the New York Republican platform en- dorses both Taft and the Aldrich tariff and as Roosevelt dominated the con yention which adopted it. the Ex-Pres- ident cannot be classed as a Progress sive. Yet on Thursday Roosevelt de- 1ivered a series of speeches in Indiana in which he advocated the reelection of Progressive Senator Beveridge and defended Beveridge's vote against the Aldrich tariff-another joining Of issue with President Taft who has charac-

The Democrats of the 18th district have again nominated Hon. Jeremiah Donavan of Norwalk for Senator. MT. Donovan is one who generally speaks his rnind'' with exceeding candor and with slight. if any. regard for conse- euences, political or otherwise. This habit has made many friends for him, even among Republicans, and his cleo ton from normally Republican dis trict is, therefore, practically certain. By the way, MT. Donovan was re- ported as having strongly urged en- dorsement of the Judson nomination by the. Democrats of the 18th district, in the Farmers judgment, an error, but exp1ainab1e by MT. Donovan's eV- ident belief that Judson's services in support of an effective public utilities bill would be of a value overbalanc- ing his general RepQblicanism.,
 MT. Donovan will also be considered by many Republicans of his district as likely to serve the people more ac- ceptabiy than would his Republican competitor, despite his general Dem ocracy. The Farmer hopes for, and confidently expects, the success of Mr. Donovan at the November polls.

The Australian ballot which caused the voiding of so many votes in the recent town elections, is still misunder- stood by many voters and by some election officials. In answer to a reg istrar, the, Courant states that any other mark than the cross mark ''x
 used for the purpose of voting will render the ballot void: that any era sure of a, name voids the ballot; that decision of disputes over ballots rests with the moderator; that a voter must vote, in some way for every position; that if after placing his 'X'' over a party ticket and yet desiring to reject certain candidates upon that ticket and to vote for their competitors, he must use the 'fX'' against the names of the latter, or he may write names in the blank spaces; that if he. wishes to vote for one man only, he must ex- press his disapprovaI of all other names in his column by voting for names in other columns by writing any names in the blank spaces. If he fails to vote for some one for every office to be filled his ballot is voided, as is also the fact if he erases any name. It was for improper location of the t'X'' mark, or for failing to vote upon all positions to be filled. or for ensures that so many ballots were voided in the town elections.
 r But in cases where the intent of the voter is clearly manifest and where it is obvious that there was no intention of marking the ballot for identification by vote-buyers, we are inclined to be- 1ieve that the courts would order the ballot counted. Indeed, if memory serves correctly, the Supreme court once gave a decision to such effect.

President Taft returned last week

President Taft returned last week
from Ohio, his home state, where he
went to look after the campaign and
to line up the faithful against Cover
nor Harmon, The democratic candi-
date f u Governor, with the view Of
defeating him and thus disposing of
him as presidential possibility two
years hence The governor is to be con-
graduated for thus far Taft has proven
himself a perfect Jonah. Every where
throughout the country his friends
W HON be endorsed have gone down in
defeat excepting Speaker Cannon, who
slipped through but may be defeated in
the election. Prospects are not encour-
aging in the Presidents state and
waverlng columns need looking sfter
and Strengthening. Every effort is to
be 'made TO bring together the warning
factions. With that aim in view
there is TO be a grand effort made by
sending the best and ablest speakers
into the state and the campaign will
be a spirited and interesting one. II
Governor Harmon is elected in No
vember his nominatio by the deme-
Gratis for President in 1872 is almost
certain aud unless all signs fail he will
be elected.

There seems to be considerable COM
motion among the republicans of West
Virginia and expressions of fears that
the state may be lost to the &. o.
p. in the November election. 1t is
hard to tell just what it means.
Are they only trying to scare Sena-
tor Scott sufficiently to make him
shell out the dough in unusual guam
titles? IT is said that they have
succeeded sufficiently to get the old
man to promise as much as $3.50 900 fol
Ohio county alone At that rate il
will cost several millions to get the old
chap back III the seat he has been hold
ing down for the past five years. The
question which the people are most in
terested IN this connection is how lac
can afford to spend that amount Of
money for an Office which only pays q
few thousand dollars. They would
like to know how he gets it back.
