politics will inevitably have a favor

London. 1t is quite likely that the
young King, though at present natur-
ally less popular than his royal faith

The outlook in this country depends
chiefly upon the crops. Thus far the
outlook in this respect is satisfactory.
Some damage was done by recent I'M
favorable weather, but only in spots,
and the injury was much exaggerated.
Should the results of the crops reach
SS,500,000,000 to $9,OO0,O0O,0OO as is
now predicted. good times for the Uni
ted States will be continued. Possibly
our farmers may not secure quite as
large profits in 1910 as in 1909 owing
to the declines in commodities: but
their margin has been unusually wide,
and moderate recession will still
yield the agriculturist good returns, at
the same time affording some relief to
the consumer who has been compelled
to pay inordnately high prices during
the past year. 1t is true that Western
bankers show a more conservative
spirit than was anticipated a month
ago, and somewhat higher rates of
money are expected to prevail at the
West in consequence. Nevertheless,
money will be fairly abundant and
easy until the new crops begin to
move, which will be about September

had % very considerable decline from
the high mark, and it is evident that
powerful financial interests are I'M
der the market; their support being
rendered necessary by the issue of
large amounts Of new bonds and short
term notes during the current month.
At present the outlook is comparative
ly free of breakers ahead. The dis
couraging influences which attracted
so much attention in the public mind
have been amply discounted by our
financial leaders who foresaw their
approach some weeks ago and adj

justed themselves accordingly.
Business is generally quiet; declin-
ing commodity markets having caused
more or less hesitancy among buyers.
A period of rest in commercial circles
will prove beneficial, inasmuch as it
will avert the danger of over-confi-
dence, and enable all parties to ac-
quire clearer and more correct per-
spective of the general situation. The
country has been going ahead at ire
mendous speed, too fast in some re-
spects, and time is desirable so that
the laggards may have an opportuni-
ty of catching up. Should the crop
outlook continue satisfactory, bust
ness is sure to revive later on and
there is as yet no reason for taking
any but hopeful view regarding the
future. Before long Congress will ad-
journ, and the country will then have
much needed relief from that quarter.
The successful placing of important
amounts of American securities
aboad, especially in Paris, is signifi-
cant and helpful. 1t shows that our
credit is in good standing and that
there is plenty of capital awaiting in
vestment, providing the terms are suf-
ficiently attractive.

n. G. FLEETWOOD FOR GOVERNOR

The Journal admires the splendid
fight that Frederick G. Fleetwood, of
lMorrisville, is making for the Repub-
lican nomination for Governor. Single
handed, without manager or publicity
bureau, or barrel" he is going direct
to the people, discussing with them
the issues that are of interest to the
voters OF Vermont. Believing that he
lis fighting the battle OF good govern
Iment and clean politics this paper con-
siders him the most available candi-
date in the field for the office of Gov
ernor and will be glad to give him its
hearty support.
Mr.. Fleetwood is a young man, 10
years Old a prominent attorney, who
has seen active service in public life.
He has been States Attorney of his
county. Presidential Elector, has rep
resented his town in the Legislature
aud served six years as Secretary o..
State AS member of the House in
1900, Mr. Fleetwood introduced bills
regulating the party caucuses in the
interest of purer political methods,
regulating the fees of Justices of the
Peace, and providing for the carrying
Of pupils to and from school. He made
la speech in favor OF the weekly pay
ment bill and voted for the measure.
In his opening campaign speech
Mir. Fleetwood declared that the Re-
publican party of Vermont should keep
the party pledge made in the platform
of 1908, favoring an employers liabil-
lity law and an act eXempting from
trustee process wages to the amount
of SO. He is the representative OF
progressive measures. He stands dis
tinctly for the newer ideas that are
winning their way rapidly in this
State and that must be adopted if YER
mont is to take her rightful place in
the sisterhood of States.
Mr.. Fleetwood is not afraid or
ashamed to make public his campaign
expenditures. He is not employing an
army of paid workers and agents to
manufacture sentiment for him. He

MIR. FLEETWOOD'S LEAD.
(Rutland News.)

The Barre Times solicited the opin-
ions of 700 men throughout the State
as to their gubernatoriar candidate
1t received answers from only 2S6 OF
them and SO of these favored f. q.
Fleetwood for the nomination and 81
favored DR.. John A. Mead The Times
takes encouragement from this and
concludes that Mr.. Fleetwood is the
leading candidate. The contemporary
could doubtless extract sunshine from
a cucumber and see a magnificently
productive granite quarry under the
spot where it noted granite chip.
The showing, on the contrary, should
be very discouraging TO the Times. 1t
would be very natural to expect the
large proportion of those answering
its query at all to be those fav-
oring the Times own candidate, who
is Mr., Fleetwood.

"the world is looking on while we

such a school contain three or four

Merrill, Smith and Weeks trailing
along in the order named. There
were SO letters endorsing Mr.. Fleet
wood, and SO favoring DR.. Mead for
Governor-a difference of just 10 in
all. While we cannot but admire the
enterprise displayed by the Times in
thus attempting TO ascertain the trend
of sentiment, expressions from 2S6
voters are not, in our opinion, indica-
tive of the feeling in the State at
large. Furthermore the opinion would
hold that, judging from the figures
of the Times, the two leading candi-
dates were running nearly even. AL
though this canvass is not entirely
in the same class as the straw bal
lot it does not touch the large ma
majority of the voters in the State, and
why it should be looked upon as any
real value as forecast is difficult

THE GOVFRNORsHIP.
(St. Adams MessengerJ

The Messenger has already express
ed itself regarding this preposterous
proposition of Doctor Mead to form
la political holding company over to
which will be turned the rights and
powers in the State Government he
expects to have conferred upon him
by the people. But what shall we say
of these advisers when the doctor is
seated in the gubernatorial chair ii
they do not counsel hSm better than
they have since his canvass for the
nomination began? What can we eX-
pect OF the government of Vermont
from 1910 to 1912 if it is to be adj
administered on the policies employed
by the Mead Publicity Bureau, the
doctors little army of political mid
dlemen and nomination brokers, and
himself? If that is sample of the
Kitchen Cabinet administration, how
much more of it do we want?
Probably this is the very same cabi-
net that counselled the doctor not to
accept Mr.. Hapgood's proposition that
the candidates shall make public an
itemized account of their campaign
expenses. He would have to be a
prejudiced partisan, indeed, that
would say the doctor did not make
a tactical blunder in that refusal and
the way he expressed ii. Even his own
home newspaper disavowed his action
in the matter and deplored it. If
that is the kind of advice our proposed
Kitchen Cabinet is to offer, do we
want it?
Take the matter of campaign meth
DDS, for instance. One would hardly
think that a twentieth century politi-
cal Warwick, a Vermont king-maker
of this later day, would ever advise a
candidate to follow ancient compaign-
ing methods that were discredited
years ago and that We're literally an
affront TO the broadening intelligence
of later day. The people of Ver-
mont are not disposed to look with

favor upon the kind Of a. campaign
Doctor Mead has been putting up be-
cause, as matter of fact, they feel
that they have outgrown that kind Of
business. If such a shortsighted policy
in other affairs of State is to be the
counsel of the Kitchen Cabinet, whe;o
will the administration land?
A Publicity Bureau that does Uusi-
ness on the square and actually
spreads abroad for people to read
tracts and features about a candidate
that We're informing and convincing,
might find some excuse for itself
somewhere. But, if the Publicity Bu-
reau Doctor Mead has been running is
a type of what the Kitchen Cabinet
will display in its judgment OF men
and things, if the administration, for
instance, will fancy that it can print
advertisements charging newspaper
with all manner of things that are not
so and then utterly ignore the facts
when they are brought TO its attention
and refuse to make amends in honest
fashion, what shall we expect?
If the Kitchen Cabinet thinks that
the government OF Vermont can be
safeguarded by appealing to the ply
sicians of the State ror their support
because the Governor is a physician
and not because he is worthy to be
Governor, what shall we say?
If the Kitchen Cabinet thinks that
the government of Vermont can be
safeguarded by appealing to the G. A.
r. men OF the State for their support
because the Governor is G. A. r.
man and not because he is a good
Governor, what shall we say?
Ii we are to farm out the Governor
ship of Vermont to a little company
of personal friends of Doctor Mead,
who are to do the States business for
him while he wears the titular Dig
nifty of his office, let us pick out the
roster ourselves and see if we cannot

Convention. He will observe the
spirit and the letter Of the law.
MIR. Fleetwood is making a square
and open fight fearlessly and honest
ly and is bearing the brunt of the con-
,test against the discredited methods
of the Mead forces. The issue is clean
cut. Fleetwood refuses to use money
to conduct his campaign, but goes di-
rect to the people and in an open,
manly way states his views on the
questions of the day.
Every indication points to the use
of much money by Doctor Mead in the
employment of the old time discredit-
ed machine methods, and his refusal
to publish his campaign expenditures
is tacit admission that he is afraid
Ito make the figures public.
Mr.. Fleetwood is man of eXem-
plary character and the highest in
tegrity, but he does not advertise his
piety, or his humility in fifteen-inch
double-column advertisements. He is
not the kind of man who considers
such a performance IN good taste He
has sense of modesty, also a sense
of humor.
Because he stands today as the ex-
potent of clean and decent politics
fair dealing between man and man, eff
fcient government, and progress to-
ward higher public ideals, and be-
cause his record does not discredit his
principles announced on the stump, the
/ Journal heartily endorses Mr.. Fleet
woods candidacy, hoping and believ-
ing that it will prove successful.

Best Listener In Senate.

The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Record says: THE best
listener in the Senate is Mr.. Page of
Vermont. The Senator believes that
speeches are made to be heard and
when one is delivered he will seat
himself as close to the speaker as
possible that he may not miss word
Naturally the speaker feels the COM
pliment and in turn Mr.. Page reaps
his reward. The Senators remain in
the Senate when he speaks and they
like to debate with MIN. The Senator
has even been imbued with some of
the speeches of sucn radicals as La
Toilette and Cummins. Once or twice
he has favored their amendments with
his vote"
