The Party Platform

In considering the campaign that
is to be carried on In Vermont I'M
1912, il is important that serious
thought be given to the Republican
platform. If ii is true that principles
are more important than men. then
party platform is more important
than the candidates that stand upon
it.
In the first place Vermont Repuhli-
cans should determine whether they
want platform or whether they
will dispense with that customary
feature. If they are to have plat
form then they ought to abide by
its declarations Let us have no
more performances like that of 1910
1911, when a Republican Senate de-
liberately and defantly repudiated a
Republican platform.
County conventions ought not to
be held until after state convention
has done it's work and then Senator
ial candidates should be instructed
to stand on the state platform and
care should be taken that the men
nominated are men who will obey in
structions.
The party is a law unto itself. II
may make any kind of platform II
chooses or no platform but we cannot
afford again TO make pledges only to
break them.
II will be difficult 20 give greater
publicity to a tentative platform than
was given to that OF 1910, or to de
wise fairer method OF preparing a
platform Each state committeeman
chose a man from his own county and
these men constituted the platform
committee. Unless the caucuses are
called Tor IN earlier date than that
fixed in 1910 this committee chosen
from delegates elected to the state
convention. cannot be named earlier
than II was in the last campaign.
The people ought 10 have a chance
to read and TO discuss the proposed
platform, and they had such a chance
| in 1910. II they offer no objection
to its provisions then they ought no
to find fault with the planks or with
| their enactment into law We neeC
to place a greater value upon oul
platforms. They must be something
more than pretty phrases. The plat
form should constitute a definition o
Vermont Repubicanism. II shoul'
contain planks on live topics blu
should contain nothing that we ar
not ready to enact into law and n,
man should seek election to the legis
lature as a Republican who is no
willing to endorse his party's plat
form.
II is none too early to begin a ser
GUS discussion of this subject an
we must be prepared TO devote NOR
attention to the matter than ever b'
fore.-Montpelier Journal.

Bovine tuberculosis

One Of the strangest things as The
Messenger views Vermont interests,
is the repeaterd failure of the far
mers of the state to profit by the ef.
forts OF the state cattle commissioner
TO rid their herds OF tuberculosis by
taking even simple precautions TO see
that they keep their herds clean after
they had passed the test The per-
sistent report of the commissioner is
to the effect that the farmers are still
careless and continue TO introduce
diseased animals into their herds af-
ter they have once been given a
good bill Of health. III every buyer
We're careful and bought only tested
cattle says Fred L. Davis, state cat
tie commissioner, there would hard
ly be a trace of tuberculosis among
the cattle of the entire state OF Yer
mont"
Now the question is. what is the
intelligent Vermont farmer going tc
do about such plain and unmistak
able proposition of common sense? Is
he gong 10 undo all that the state
does for him, by making no scrutiny
of the admission to his dairy herd
or is he going to proceed along those
lines of dairy culture that must ulti
mately mean practically no bovine
tuberculosis in Vermont?
These are the things and this is
the time by which the farmer has
within his own grasp the means Of
his own salvation.
And anything that helps the far
mers TO succeed helps all his. neigh
bors. too.-St Adams Messenger.

The Only Conservative Party

The socialist who was elected may
or OF schenectady Tuesday promises
to do nothing to injurc the business
enterprises of that industrial city
promises to help them as much as he
can and to invite new capital and con
Germs to establish themselves there.
He would enlarge business and its
prosperities.
If this is the spirit Of the socialist
candidates, so many of whom were
successful at the polls this year, the
numerous and varied solemn explana-
lions of socialist success that are
dripping from so many pens need re-
vision. Our own modest surmise is
that people are going over to the so
cialists, as the only conservative and
business cherishing party now on
view.-New York Sun.

A Worthy Successor.

Personally, politically and in all
other ways, Newton D. Baker, just
elected Mayor of Cleveland by the
stupendous majority Of $4,000, is a
man after Tom L. Johnson's own
heart. For nearly ten years he was
Mayor Johnson's beloved friend and
able and trusted legal adviser and
political coadjutor; and it is no de-
probation Of Mr.. Bakers individual
ity and independence to say Of him
that his election seems like Tom L.
johnson come again. For Mr.. Bak-
.er holds in his own right to the same
civic aspirations and the same econ
omic and municipal policies that Tom
.. Johnson held, and accords them
the same full measure Of independent
personal devotion that johnson gave.
With Bakers accession to the May
or's chair in Cleveland, that city win
resume it's pilgrimage toward the
goal Of Johnson's ambition Of q stcity

Satisfied Her Curiosity.

A girl. recently riding in street car,
was annoyed and made curious. Seat
ed opposite her was man afflicted
with crossed eyes: The girl was pref
ty and knew it. She knew, too-or
thought she Enew-that all men on the
car were looking at her That is what
annoyed her. She was in doubt as to
whether the cross eyed mans gaze was
fastened on her That is why she was
curious He may have been reading
the advertisements over her head. He
may have been looking at the con
ductor on the rear platform. TO sat
isfy her curiosity the girl yawned. The
act Is as contagious as the measles
She found out the man was looking at
her, for he yawned too.-New York
