PRESTIGE OF NEWSPAPERS

Ut is frequently said that the daily newspaper is losing prestige. that the people no longer have confidence in its views. and that. it's expressions upon political and economic matters cannot be relied upon. To some ex- lent the accusation is true, and to this extent the place which has been occupied by the daily newspaper has come to be filled by the popular priced magazine
 The daily newspaper gets it's bad name. not from offense in the whole body of the daily press, but from the insincerity, yellow noisiness. and hypocrisy of a few newspapers, which to get circulation, maintain an adroit appearance Of being upon the side Of progressive measures, but which are, nevertheless, against every sort of political. social or economic progress. directed against a wrong, or a special
 This class of newspaper opposes measures like the initiative and refer sndum, direct primaries, workmen's compensation and the like, until pub lie sentiment reaches such a pitch that it is dangerous to do so.
 Then the reforms will be Iukewarm- Iy supported by them
 But woe unto the man or men, the newspaper or newspapers, that at tempt to actually realize any of these reforms.
 The hypocrites of the press-the owned press-serving their stockhold- CTS and their pocket books, pour out the vials of their wrath. They favor reform. indeed they do, in type an inch or two high, but down with those who attempt to bring the reform about

THE RESULT IN VERMONT.
New Haven Union.l

Facts are facts. There is no doubt that the Democrats have more than held their own in Vermont and when they can do that in the Green Noun tain state at a gubernatorial election, thev will do it in every state in the Union next .Navepshay. A falling off from the Democratic vote of four or two years ago would have indicated that the Roosevelt party had broken inc Dem ocratic lines and drawn off Democratic voters. As a matter of fact, the returns show that the Dem ocrats have increased their vote con siderable over four and two years ago and that besides holding their own.
 they have even proflted by the defec- tions from the Republican party. The Vermont Democrats stood firm in the face of a three days whirlwind tour of their state by Colonel Roosevelt.
 They, faced without f1inching strong tenn pta tions to chase after the Bull Moose Their standing firm to the extent of even gaining strength over previous elections under these extra ordinary nolitical ucpaditipns. indicates

that the Democratic party has noth- ing to fear from B1lllmoosers.
 RooseveIt's Progressive party, if the vote in Vermont is any indication, will not hurt the Democratic party. but will merely split the old Republi- can party in two. If President Taft in November cannot hold more than .two-thirds of the regular Republican vote in line, as he did in Vermont yes- terday, there is no hope of his cleo tion If MT Roosevelt can gain ap- proximately only a third of the Re- publican vote, as he did in Vermont there is not the slightest possibility of his election. In fact. the Roosevelt vote not only indicates the serious split in the old Republican party; but it shows, moreover, that the third term movement had actually made for the Democratic party.

COAL INVESTIGATION
:. Baltimore -sun.)

What is, the supreme subject of thought and solicitude among the great masses of the American people to-day-of nine hundred and ninety nine out of every one thousand Amer cans? lDnQuestfonably, the high cost of living That is an issue that door and forces itself into almost ev- cry American household seven days in every week It never takes day off. The Democratic platform and the Democratic candidate offer the only sure means to permanent. relief but in the meantime ninety millions of people suffer daily from extortion, or from conditions produced largely by the spirit of extortion and it must be many months before any relief can come to them through legislation.
 Many cooperative and community remedies have been suggested from time to time, and in a few localities some of these have been measurably effective. In time they may be sys- is done and until, through a Demo- cratic administration at Washington, we strike at the roots of trust and tariff evils, the consumer must with regard to most things fight the bat tie singlehanded and depend upon his own economy and thrift to Tighten his burdens.
 But there are some things in which the Government, if it were disposed could help him, and one of these is with respect to the high price of coal. promised months ago has never been begun, but it is not yet too late. If the Commissioner of Labor or the Federal department charged with this duty would start this investigation at once and prosecute it as earnestly as public sentiment justifies, there might be a, change in coal rates before the
 middle of the winter, and a change that would help the poorer classes, whom these high prices oppress most heavily and who cannot purchase their coal tRS. hut Ht1Er as they need it and as they can pay for it.. zst
 There is probably no greater and more outrageous imposition on mil lions of American people at this mo- ment than the additional tax that has been put upon this absolute necessity of life.
 Why is it that MT. Taft sits quiet and does not raise 8 finger to protect struggling American householders from the Coal Trust?

LOWER MEAT PRICES

CBrookIyn Eagle.l N Lower prices for meat soon is the welcome promise of Edward Cuda hy, head of the great house of that name The present prices he considers too high artiffcially kept up, and bound to come down anyway In the big crops he sees reason for still greater re- duction.
 ~ss Consumers may look for beef prices to drop first, due to shipments of cat tie that have been feeding on the come heavier, more solid cattle, that have fattened on the crops now being harvested. and corn-fed hogs to bring down pork.
 A reduction would be looked for at this time anyway. But when Mir Cudahy says pork will be one=third d ed with knowing what he is talking about when meat prices are the sub ject-it is evident to alI<thatt he be- lieves the economic laws of supply and demand are not the sole control ling factors in governing present prices
 In spite of the. Governments inabili- Tty- thus far to convict and punish any one for these .-aets,7 there are few in the country who do not believe meat prices are fixed by illegal agreements. dare buy home grown beef direct from the farmer when he can get it a, lit tie cheaper. If he did that, and was found out he could no longer get Wes- deal with the meat trust all the time, and pay Wha tever prices they demand, or else he. cannot deal with them at all
 When the head of such an important part of the meat industry as is the Cudahy concern tells us prices are ar tihcially made, it looks as if there were dissentiens among the lords of meat. Retaliations may follow, faiing out result and a price cutting war bring meat prices almost down to an honest level.

At the same time, the re- turns indicated the strongest showing the Democratic party has ever made in the history of Vermont politics and a strong increase in the Democrat tic vote over previous campaigns. If the result in Vermont means anything, 1t means, to briefly summarize it, that Roosevelt has split the old ReDubu- can party in two and that the Demo- crats will carry the country next No yenaber

 September.

The business of the railways for September while showing a con siderable improvement over that of September 1911, does not main tain the rate of increase set by the record-breaking month of August. The total net operating revenue of 90 per cent of the steam railways increased $5, 5,896, $40 for September, while the increase for August was $13.865, ,622. This increase in net operating revenue was at the rate of $2l per mile of line for the month or at the rate of 70 cents per mile of line per day.

For each dollar worth of corn,
oats, and barley grown they take
about thirty-four cents worth of
fertility from the soil, and for
each dollars worth of wheat and
rye, twenty-nine cents worth of
plant food fertility is lost to
the soil. The nearest to getting
something for nothing in this
world is to grow clover, which
feeds largely on nitrogen drawn
from the air-then clinch it by
ploughing down.
