translated into English for the first
time by the distinguished scholar.
Prof. r. G. Conybeare.
The interesting feature Of this old
book, which was known in $50 A. D.,
Is the modern spirit Of the man who
hrst compiled It. He seems to have
been, according to the Spectator, "a
man Of Wide experience, as devout as
he is humorous, as many sided as he
is single minded, almost a Quaker in
his attitude on nonresistance and his
repulsion to the furious face OF
things almost . Socialist in his view
of property, q man without much
natural reverence for those in high
places and with perhaps an oyerween.

POLITICAL PROSPECTS TO DATE

IEeSluenI i ait QOeS not seem TO
be able to rid himself of the stand
patters. He no sooner makes an
unsuccessful effort to make scape-
dgo ats of Cannon, Alrich and
Ballinger than he takes up with
Crane. the moot .inveterate con-
sentative, as his principal political
adviser. 1t is about time that the
!. president tumbled to the face that
all these standpat statesmen must
stand by the administration, or
their goose is cooked. There is no
doubt that majority of the re-
publican voters in the western
states are with the insurgents. and
if there were free and fair vote
in the eastern states the old guard
would be bowled over. 1t is
mainly the control of the republi-
can organization, with the power
of counting tie votes cast at the
primaries, that allows them to hold
the whip hand. To that must be
added the enormous power of the
distribution of the federal offices
which President Taft has allowed
them to dictate. From this view
of republican politics it is impossi-
BILE to give President Taft credit
for any leaning towards the insur-
gents, although he still keeps on
friendly terms with some of them
to escape the charge that he has
split the republican party.
Colonel Roosevelt had evidently
been waiting, with his usual pol
itical shsewdness, to see the result
of the primaries and conventions in
the debatable states wien he was
forced to show his hand as the re-
suit of the turn down" by the re-
publican state committee of his
own state. He is now openly with
the insurgents and will fight for
the control of New York.
Will President Taft still take
counsel with Crane and the other
reactionaries, or will he veer to
wards Roosevelt to prevent
factional fight in the state of New
York? Which if thus lost to the
republican party might lead to
making a Jonah of Taft himself.
The president is thus confronted
with dilema, and to grasp either
horn is dangerous.
The democra ats, of course, have
trouble of their own; but they are
subsiding and the party is, per-
haps, near runity on essentials than
since the first Cleveland admins
tration. Under such conditions,
those who believe that democratic
policies are necessary for the well
fare Of the people of all the states
will draw even closer together as
they see the chances of success so
favorable. But over confidence
would be folly with such opponents
as the republicans with their
organization and money, and their
greed for power which at the last
moment, will lead them to stoop to

county is but 1913, SIX Of the fourteen
counties Of the state show an actual
decrease. The state population IS
$50, 800 an increase of 1Z,3 over ten
years ago. Throughout the state the
towns situated far from the railroads
show decrease while most railroad
towns show substantial increase. In
Orleans county it will be noted that
nine towns show an actual decrease
and nine an increase in population.
Albany, Charleston, Coventry, Crafts
bury, holland. Jay, Morgan, Westfield
and Westmore show losses. While
Newport as a township gained q few
more in numbers than Barton, Barton
as township gained the greatest per
cent of any town IN the county. Ine
village OF Orleans gained the greatest
per cent of any town or village in the
county, making a gain OF 61.U6 per
cent. North Troy gained 37.13 per
cent, Newport 35.9 96 and Barton Z6.6
per cent. West Derby and Orleans
