10 view of the mastery leadership
which President Taft offers, it can no
longer be said that this age is not
likely to be- accredited with great states
mansbip. No old time statesmanship
was more equal to an exigency than is
the policy of that far-sighted, just citi-
zen, William H. Taft. That policy of
his is no temporary expiedent, as it
makes for party advantage without any
sacrifice of party principle. In the
craftsmanship of Taft we see a most in
telligent choice between an obstinate,
futile resistance TO all inevitable read
iustment Of our fearfully and wonder
fully complexed business and political
system, and measure Of reform that
will exact no sacrifice from wage earn
ers that could not be afforded, as their
contribution toward the maintainence
of national principles. The policy
which should have the earnest support
of the masses is neither the demogogy
of the class that would intimidate
wage earners by predictions of hard
sequence of readjustment of business
or the other extreme form, urging a
trend toward a general upsetting, even
of the wisest provisions of the Constitu-
ton.
The let alone idea which the
"American Economist" is upholiiug is

ness conditions that are not sensibly ad-
justed from time to time afford advan-
tage to politicians able to profit by ex-
posing the fallacy of theory that from
the beginning should ave been regarded
as an expedient ather than principle
Nothing short of burning all the books
and suppressing all the agitators and
would be reformers would insure the
stability of business under the rules pre-.
cribed by those who cling to the old
idea that measures of injustice will ulti
mately be righted through the opera
ton of natural law. The people will
prefer the measure of prevention in
stituted by President Taft, which il
more in accord with republican ideas.
And better still is the humanitarian
ism shown in his endeavor to brin g il
to operation the great unlimited arbitra
ton treaty which was so strongly second
ed by the most intellectual men Of
three great peoples.
Throughout his whole service is seer
the desire to protect the weaker mem
bers of society, And it is his love o
truth and justice, which is indeed tn,
dominant force in his life work, that en-
titles him to rank high statesman.

Farming in New England.

President L. N. Vail of the American
Telephone Co., interviewed on his 5000
acre farm at Lyndonville, says:
"Farming in New England will be a
livelier topic now that Reciprocity has
been beaten. Since western ranches
have been cut up and need of fertilizers
has arisen New England can compete
with the West. | did not attempt my
agricultural school here until 1910, when
the farms here were making money and
it became easy to interest people. The
average boy will find it easier to get a
good living in the country than in the
city.
"The possibilities of New England
are too numerous to mention. believe
we can even raise wheat in competition
with the West now. BY keeping cattle
on small farms we may not be able to low
re the price of meat, but we can keep i
from rising more. Cost of living il
