Convention there is nothing COM
hitting him against the tariff. Down
south he said that he had very little
to do with what happened at the
New York convention. That is to
say, he was not the power there that
many people thought him to be.
The Colonel may not know much
about the tariff, but he knows enough
evidently not to commit himself ON
the proposition. In the west he
hints that the Payne-Aldrich frame
up is crooked deal in the east he
rules convention which If it does
anything. countenances the Payne
Aldrich affair as a passably good
thing. In the south he says that
the reason the tariff was given any
standing at all before the New York
convention was because he was not
the power in that convention which
many people credited him with being.
Colonel Roosevelt may not know
much about the tariff as alleged by
his critics. But he certainly does
know great deal about politics. He
knows when to know and when not
to know. Heis still making good in
the role of the most consummate
politician which this or any age has
produced Worcester Gazette.

Vermont as a National Park =?

A recent communication to The
Age from Mr.. Theodore Wildman is
the subject of some interesting COM
ment by the Springfield Republican,
which says:
Some one writes to the Woodstock
(vt) Spirit of the Age, raising the
question why not turn the state
into national park like the Yellow
stone" This suggestion is evidently
born of great disgust over the un-
changing and therefore depressing
character of Vermont politics.
Prompted by man greatly inter-
ested in conservation and kindred
matters, and greatly at loss to know
why state, whose politics never
change and whose population changes
as little as the politics, should have
any politics, he writes:
My friend has come to the conclu-
sion that the work of recording votes
each year, of Vermont citizens has
been for many years quite unneces-
sary. About 80 years ago everybody
knew what everybody in Vermont
thought. and everybody in Vermont
thinks today just what everybody in
Vermont thought SO years ago. This
is comfortable state of affairs. It
disturbs nobody's beliefs, it removes
nobody from Office 1t makes it quite
unnecessary for politicians to have
any interest in the state or to work
for its welfare. Also it makes it
quite unnecessary2to register opin-
ions on matters of public concern.
Therefore why not make park of
the statep 1t would have the effect
only of eliminating the politics which
have become 30 useless. There is
some point to his humorous extrem-
ity of view. Vermont's political
stagnation is no doubt to degree
caused by stagnation in population
and industrial growth, but may it
not also be said that the dead set in
politics of so many years standing
is effective for stagnation in other
directions /? AS is said in the above
quotation. it has become unnecessary
for politicians or for any one aspiring
to public place to have any interest
In the state or work for its welfare.
1t is only necessary to gain the favor
of the self-perpetuating republican
machine. and the people never fail
to ratify the choice. A great dis
turbance which would turn the state
politically upside down would I'M
questionably prove mighty stimu-
lus to more progressive and growing
tendencies in the whole life of that
commonwealth
The Montpelier Journal thinks
and fears that our correspondents
questions are not intended to be-
treated entirely as a joke. 1t is like
wise somewhat concerned over the
Republicans refusal to refer to Yer
mont's political stagnation otherwise
than seriously and it's intelligent
diagnosis of the situation.
"The proof is yet to be furnished
that Var,nont xvould hava rooda anv
greater advances along education.
moral or industrial lines if it had
gone Democratic half the time than
it has with the Republicans in con-
trol," says the Journal This is
comforting but not convincing sug-
gestion that things might possibly
have been worse.

blossoms and carried a shower of or
chids and lilies of the valley The
maid of honor was her sister, Miss Mar
garet Everett, who was gowned in yell
low and white satin, since yellow was
the predominating note in the scheme
of decoration. The two little flower
girls, Bette Dow and Newell Bull, wore
white and yellow frocks. Leroy Min
turn acted as best man.

after the ceremony and the young cou
pie left last evening for their honey

10 per cent of the amount of their de-
positS, the court vacated the order ana
took the matter under submission. Its

direct that no dividend be paid by the
