BUSINESS AND POLITICS

There has been a good deal of talk
in this campaign in Vermont about
the relative merits of business and
professional men in Office, but that
there are dangers from too much bus
mess connected with politics is shown
by the following from the Saturday
Evening POST
1T is recalled, with. pain, that ten
wears ago the stock of the Metropoll-
tan Street Railway Of New York sold
at two hundred and sixty-nine dollars
a share. For some time the concern
has been in the hands of receiver,
and recently its assets were put up
at auction. Investors have lost a
great many million dollars and the
non-inyesting public has lost vast
sums of time and comfort; for, while
the Metropolitan management was
Juggling securities, ancient horse cars
numbered along important lines. At
present the New York street car
equipment is decidedly inferior to
that of Chicago and other cities. The
persons who we're most prominent in
ruinously manipulating the streetcar
system were also most prominent in
manipulating city politics.
'Pitiful old arks that might have
been palmed off for street cars on the
populace of Red Dog ten years ago
now lurch through the heart of Phil
adelpha. Their decrepitude is so ex-
IRENE that 1t seems shame to ride
IN them Along with the losses Of
time and comfort entailed by a
wretched service, the people of Phil
adelphia have lost some millions Of
money through depreciation of infat-
ed and manipulated street railway Sc
curities There, also, the family re-
lationship between traction and poll
tics was notorious.
"Other cities have passed through
the same narrowing experiences of a
politico-fnancial partnership. On the
broader field of national politics the
trail of the partnership, generally
speaking. is less clearly defined; yet
II always runs to the place that the
silyerware disappeared from. Bust
ness and politics never get together,
except for loot. To keep politics out
of business-as in the case Of the
postoffice departments desirable
But to keep business out Of politics
is even more desirable. That, essen
TALLY, is what insurgency means
or course this hasn't anything to dc
with the present campaign in Yer
mont except as warning that is al
ways applicable in every campaign
that voters should be careful about
electing men to any Office if they are

or interest that they are in danger

Promotion RuIe Not Wanted

The News has long maintained that
the lieutenant goyernorship should be
no bar TO the higher Office Of COVER
nor Il has also been equally firm IN
maintaining that the former office
should never be used as a stepping
stone to the chair OF the chief execu-
tive. It has had much conclusive
evidence that this position is gener'
ally approved by the voters.
How Is 1t with the most persistent
aspirant for the governorship this
year. DR.. Mead was elected lieuten-
ant governor over a much more able
opponent simply because the latter
would not indulge in an undignihed
scramble for the position.
AS lieutenant governor Or. Mead
filed the office with hardly ordinary
ability. As a presiding officer he was
pronounced a failure hut DR.. Mead
had fixed his eye upon the higher Of
fee OF chief executive. He regarded
the lieutenant governorship as help
In that direction and has devoted his
energy, time and money to his ambi-
ton In this direction.
II he secures the nomination for
governor it viii be owing 10 the ad-
vantage he gained through being
elected to the next lower Office and
not from any special qualification for
the place. His nomination would
fully establish an undesirable promo
ton rule, which the people do not de-
sire.
DR.. Mead has been extremely well
recognized, measured by his ability
and past public service II he is now
retired to private life Il will be for
the future. as well as the present
good Of the state.
II Is up to the voters to take the
matter out OF the hands Of politicians

powerful magnets upon which these

Nearly every one is familiar with
the common horseshoe magnet, which
is but a piece of steel bent in the

a long insulated wire tig ltly around a

core will be instantly possessed of

is the basis of all electric motors and

Different persons have varying ideas

notions of cooking, like the minister's

CROCODILE TEARS.
I'D Legends That the Brutes Shed
Them Over Their Prey.

Id Legends That the 6rutes Shed
Thorn Over Their Prey.
There was an old story, to which we
find constant reference in Elizabethan
writer's, that crocodiles wept over
their prey. No doubt the legend arose
because the crocodile possesses large
ly developed lachrymal glands. but it
appears in various amusing forms.
AS early as the fourteenth century.
in "Mandeville's Travels" we find: Gin
that contre ben great plentee of Coka-
drilles. THESE serpentes slen men. and
thei eten hem wepynge."
An odd turn is given to the tale by
the narrator Of one of Sir John Haw-
kins' voyages. Whether he was mar
ried man or not we do not know. but
he writes: Ills nature is ever, when
he would have his prey, to cry and
sob like Christian body, to provoke
them to come to him, and then he
snatched at them! And thereupon
came this proverb, that is applied unto
women when they weep, Lachry mae

lorn looking. There was scarcely
person in the town who had not ut
some time been assisted by him. He
applied to one after another for help
What assistance was given him was
so trifling that it served him but for
brief period. Some of those he had
helped to prosperity made him small
loans. realizing that until they were
paid he would not trouble them again.
Some paid no attention whatever to
his solicitations. And so. after he had
asked for help from everybody and
all had either refused him or put him
where he could not we'll ask for more.
he discovered that his former friends
when they saw him coming would
turn down cross street before meet
ing him. Indeed. everybody wished
he would go away again and stay
away.
"He disappeared one morning, his alb
sence being made manifest by his fail
ing to call on a man who had promised
to lend him quarter. The man told
others of the circumstance. and it soon
got abroad that 'Seedy' Thompson. as
he was called. had relieved the town
of his presence. Then one day some
thing happened The owner of the
Thompson homestead announced that
he had sold it for twice what he gave
for it. The next STARTER was the reg
istry of the deed to the premises in
the name Of Evan Thompson. Lastly,
one morning maiden lady passed the
Thompson house and reported that she
had seen 'Seedy' Thompson himself
sitting on the porch putting a cigar.
The end of it all was that Thompson
was there with a wife and children.
Thompson has told me that he new
er read the story in The Arabian
Nights Entertainment He seems to
have hit upon the same method of pro-
cedure by coincidence. He will invite
a stranger to stay at his house for one
night. but will never receive the same
person twice."

rule, but I did it through his eldest
daughter married her.
