VOLUNTEER PARTY WORKERS..

N NE of the Trenton newspapers in speaking
~ of the result of the election in that city in
which the Commission form of government was
adopted declares that the work the polls in favor
OF the new plan done by volunteers. In fact
practically all the campaign work was done by vol
unteers, for the commission advocates had only
a trifing fund to meet necessary expenses They
had to rely on volunteers and the latter respond
ed nobly
This incident shows the change that has taken
place in regular politics Not so many years ago
volunteers used to work for the party and many
a young man was carried away with party en-
thusiasm that he would labor at the polls. The
thought of taking money for thus serving his
party would have been repugnant TO him.
At present most of the party workers have TO be
paid in actual money for their services and such
payment is considered legitimate. The funds rails
ed for a campaign are said TO be for the purpose
of paying the party workers TO talk TO those who
approach the polls and to hunt for the indifferent
or careless who would not vote unless the party
workers brought them out.
Why has this change taken place? Is it that
young men formerly afame with political zeal have
grown cold without cause? Is it that they look
upon politics merely as a scheme of one set of
men to get Office and TO enjoy the emoluments
thereof, that it is battle between fat goats and
lean goats, as Dr. Dole described it? Do they
take the view that they also should get something
out of it, and that something is payment for their
work and for their loss of time? II may be that
there are no stirring issues in the regular elec-
tions to arouse young men, and that they do not
take platforms of political parties seriously.
And yet as has been demonstrated at Trenton
there are issues, such as that of good government
which really stir the people and call forth voun-
teers from the ranks of citizenship to give their
time and money for the furtherance of the prin-
cipeS they believe will lead TO better government
Perhaps if the old political parties took up
more live issues there would be a response and
it would not be difficult to get volunteers. Natu-
rally our young men should not be more difhdent
towards questions of the day than they we're years
ago

Dover News.
No Use for Slapsticks.
People do not favor, nowadays, the
petty quarrels of editors in news
papers. When some great state or
National problem is at stake, prob
ably, the people do care to see the
question discussed, ably and in as
polished a manner as two opponents
can go at each other, but when 1t
comes TO the triumph of faction. the
readers will throw the papers at each
other in disgust in the cars. Along
this line there is something doing
now in a neighboring county and It
is best explained in a short comment
in the Ridgely Sun, as follows:
The Kent News and the Chester
town Transcript, the former a sup
porter of the Organization and the
latter a mouth-piece of the Anti-or-
ganization, are having a warm news
paper fight After all the harsh things
have been said through the columns
of these two wide-awake newspapers,
little will be gained Newspapers.
I'm this enlightened age should give
more space to current events; sub

According TO Washington reports there is
fine prospect of a general wrangle to last through
the summer over the tariff question. Instead of
passing the Canadian reciprocity agreement and
then adjourning il is proposed &c plunge Congress
into debate in an attempt 20 secure general tariff
revision downward. The Democrats aided by
some Progressive Republicans who are squirmng
under the charge that they are opposed to Cana
dian reciprocity, are responsible for the further
agitation at this time In the meanwhile business
men and manufacturers must suffer the pangs Of
uncertainty for they are helpless to prevent the

TAFT GAINING STRENGTH.

PRESIDENT TAFT is gaining IN strength aud
i popularity almost every day The mistakes
he made during the earlier part of his administra-
posed to be unfriendly towards him are now CIV
ing him the praise he deserves.
During the first part of his administration the
President allied himself too closely with the in
terests represented by former Speaker Cannon and
his kind to suit many of those who had been his
former supporters, but the President has shaken
Cannon, and some other barnaces on his ad-
ministration have been removed.
And then the President has accomplished re-
suits. His attitude towards the creation of Tariff
Commission has been heartily approved and shows
that the President is in sympathy with the ad-
vanced thought in handling the many and intricate
problems that grow out of the tariff
To crown it all the President boldly assumed
definite and courageous stand on the Canadian
reciprocity agreement which did not meet the ap-
prova Of the Standpatters His attitude towards
international peace has won him worldwide COM
mendation.
In view Of the development of Mr.. Taft as a
leader Of consequence the Progressves Of the La
Toilette type will have harder work 10 make head
way against him than they would have had IL
the President had continued along the lines he
followed in the first few months of his admins
tration The Progressives because Of their at
ttude towards the Canadian question have lost
many friends.
Altogether the Taft administration is in the as
tendency and the President is winning more polit-
ical friends than he has formerly enjoyed, but he
has always commanded the personal good will and
esteem Of the people regardless Of party lines.

during the Trenton campaign an attorney stand

ing book at them and declaring that it must be
preserved because the courts had rendered FIVE

Some time ago the inspectors OF the
Bureau of Weights and Measures made
a raid on. Wallabout Market Brook
lyn. and oonnscated more than three
thousand market baskets which con-
tanned short measure and which the
honest farmers" OF Long Island had
intended TO palm Off as fuu-mcasurc
upon their unsuspcctins customers.
Since then the above mentioned "hon-
est farmers made many desperate eff
forts to regain possession of these
baskets. but even their threats to go
to court did not induce the Commits
sioner of Weights and Measures 90
yield 10 the farmers He decided that
the only way TO prevent the farmers
from cheating the purchasers OF pro-
visions with these baskets was to de-
stroy the latter and consequently ne
had them piled in the middle of the
market place the other night and
burned.
