One thing about the campaign
which has just closed is the fact
that much less money was spent
in the canvass than has ever been
known before Possibly this was
due to the fact that extravagant
expenditures were made in the pri-
mary campaign last spring and
peoples pocketbooks were getting
thin.
But in any event, the various
committees have reported sums of
about 100000. which is a good
deal less than any previous cam
paign. When we recall the mil
lions that were spent by Mark
Hanna. the immense sums that were
spent in 1904, and the fact that
Thomas H. Ryan gave over half n
million himself to the Parker cam
paign, we can see that there is a
decided change for the better.
There are certain legitimate ex-
penses in every campaign. but
there has been In the past much
waste of money and much illegiti-
mate expenditure. 1t will be a
good thing for the country when
these expenses are reduced to q
minimum.
One of the potent reasons for
the decrease in expenditures this
year is the different sort of a
campaign that has been waged.
Managers are getting away from
the old idea of hiring hordes OF
political workers and are using
newspapers and magazines to ex-
toll the virtues Of their party and
Ns candidates. The Republican
national committee this year must
have spent $4,000 for magazine
advertising. for full pages In the
Saturday Evening Post and other
magazines. 1t all goes to show that
campaign methods are changing.
The Intelligence and the intellect
of the voter are being more and
more appealed to by argument.
rather than to attempt to get re-
suits through the medium OF the
political worker.
1t Is we'll that It is so. There
is no better way to enlighten and
educate the public upon political
matters than through the public
novel in that respect. but we are
satisfied that 1t is merely be-
ginning and that political man
ayers will more and more resort to
printers ink to state their case to
the people.-Ex.

Cincinnati. Nov. 6.-In the same
house where he heard the news of
his victory over w. J. Bryan four
years ago. President Taft last night
read the bulletins that told the
story OF the election. -Four years
ago Mrs. Taft, Miss Della Torrey
Of Mulberry, Mass. his favorite
aunt, and Mrs. Alice Roosevelt
Longworth. were present to hear
the news. Last night the president
and C. p. Taft and Mrs. Charles
Anderson, Mrs Taft's sister, were
the.only members of the family pres
ent. but a few friends dropped in
during the evening.
The president was cheerful and
smiling and apparently was under
less strain than other members of
the family dinner party at the
home of his brother. C. p. Taft.
The president voted shortly be-
fore noon, spent a few minutes at
Prosperity league headquarters. and
then returned to his brothers
house to rest.
He talked with many Cincinnati
friends during the day and appear
ed happy and confident.

The election on Tuesday was a
general one over the entire country
and not only were there more par
ties in the field than ever before
but almost everywhere the new
fads in legislation to cure all sorts
of evils were up to be voted on,
and greatly complicated the situa-
ton. Most everyone it seems has
an ambition to make the world bet
ter, but most of them are too lazy
to get out and work for that pur-
pose, so take the easy route of
legislating the people good.
The result fof the voting was "a
most tremendous and far reaching
democratic landslide, sweeping Mr.:
Wilson into the presidential chair
by the largest electoral majority
ever given to president of this
country. He goes in with a most
emphatic endorsement and the evil
dent good will of the masses. He
will be backed by a solid demo-
cratic congress and a working ma
jority in the senate.
No definite returns can yet be
given from anywhere, but wherever
there Is doubt 1t Is a safe guess
to just say the democrats have it,,
for the final returns will probably
give it to them. Their victory Is
30 sweeping and complete that they
will assume full responsibility for
the government for the first time
in twenty years on March 4th
next. and It will be the only time
since the war except the Cleveland
second administration. They will
have no chance for any excuses.
and will be held to accountability
for their work. If,they~can make
good on their promises to the peo-
pie Mr.. Wilson will be reelected by
an even greater majority than he
has received at this election.
The election results show that
the republicans have ample votes to
always win with one party and can
didate. but they can't spare enough
to make two organizations in any
state but Vermont. Even such a
rock-ribbed stronghold as Pennsyl-
vania was swept into the Wilson
column by the republican division.

litically at the best the democrats

Dairy Cattle.
From the Christian Herald Almanac.

From the Christian Herald Almanac.
1t is said, on authority, that one-half
the dairy cows in the United States do
not pay their way and their owners
would be better off If they sold them
and bought their milk and butter.
Debit the average COW with the interest
on her selling price and deduct one
tenth each year from this price, as her
age chance is seven years: add to this
the food consumed, including that from
the farm, the cost of care and milking.
and then credit her with her milk and
the n and strike a balance.
But there are cows and cows, and the
best are none too good If they are kept
for profit. The milk output is increas-
ing as farmers are improving their
breeds. The last census estimates the
value OF the increased dairy products
at $3.50, 600, 1000 per annum This is due
not only to better stock, but to better
housing and better care.
The Holstein breed has a 2,000-year
record as the best milk producer. and
for centuries the Ayrshire has held the
medal for producing most milk at least
cost; while the Jerseys and Guernseys
from the islands in the English chan
mel nave been famous as producers of
butter.
The best dairy cattle are never the
best for beef.
