President Champ Clark sounds good
to us. Many people in Texas express
the conviction that Champ Clark and
William II. Taft will face each other
next fall as candidates for the pres
idency. Mr.. Clark, as speaker, has
proved himself" is our foremost man
before the public and hence has a
foundation to support nomination at

Vermont Republican Campaign

The work of the Vermont State
Republican convention apparently
was in accord with the wishes of
the great majority of the party and
SO represents an element of
strength. 1t is true that
our choice for a candidate for gov
ernor was defeated but Mr.. Fletcher
won the nomination in an honorable
way. Our reasons for favoring Mr..
DeBoer rather than him were given
full publicity and a large majority
of the people through their delegates
declared for him despite the objec-
tions expressed. 1t was a deliberate
verdict and we accept it as final and
propose to Loyalty support the man
of their choice. In Mr.. Howe the Re
publicans have something more than
a figure head for acknowledgement
and his fearlessness and tested hon
esty will be a strengthening feature
Of the state ticket.
The platform as adopted is a
strong one. Some features that ap-
pealed to us were eliminated from
the final draft but it is evident the
party did not intend to promise that
it did not intend to perform. Not in
our memory has the party put out
a platform so free from catchy phras-
es to attract certain classes of vot-
ers. Never has the party been more
honest in it's platform and it is a
pledge of what will be accomplished
when the party in invested with leg.
islative power.
Every man who believes in sane
progress and efficient government
can consistently work for the success
OF the Republican cause in Vermont.

w. g. II. U. Meeting.

The June meeting of the w. G.
T. u. was held at the home of the
president, Mrs H. ". Turner, Tues
day afternoon, June rs. The day
was observed, according to the usual
custom, as Flower Mission Day.
The devotional exercises were led
by Mrs. Turner, who also had charge
of the program. The subject of the
meeting was ''The Ministry of Sym
pathy."
The first number on the program
was piano solo by Miss Isabelle
Follensby, after which a reading en-
titled, Down in the Valley of Pain, "
was given by Mrs. e. N. Randall.
Mrs Turner spoke in a few words
of the work of Miss Jennie Cassidy,
first national superintendent of the
flower mission department in the w.
C. r. u. She then read story en-
titled 1.-The Heart of Old Hickory, !"
the quaint humor and pathos of
which was very interesting to the
hearers.
A solo, Come Unto Me-" was sung
by Mrs. Don Stiles and another piano
solo was given by Miss Follensby.

party having been the law making
authority of this country for nearly
sixty years it can safely be said that
American law OF today il largely
it's accomplishment. It is a monu-
ment that reflects great credit UPON
the members of the party. Put of
course the law is not finished. There
are other laws to be studied out and
applied to existing conditions in a
way that will give the greatest bene-
fit to the greatest number. The re-
publican party does not shrink from
such a task but faces It confident
that It's practical experience and
close devotion to the best interests
of public welfare have ste tally fit
ted X for the undertaking.
We might continue the discussion
bur what we want especially to en-
plastic is that we should not seek
a government or sent'ment but one
Ct principles and laws. These ere
still to be found in the Republican
party in form that should appeal
to every friend and supporter of
honest and efficient government.

With the addition of two more
Packard patrols to its equipment, the
Detroit police department rounds q

among the best in America.
The rear wheels are being equip
ped with seven-inch pneumatic tires,
marking another step in the evoIu-
ton of a motor vehicle adapted to
the slap bang continuous service of
the police. The change from five
and one-half to seven-inch rears was
engineered by Commissioner Frank
H. Croul who has led the country in
the undermining of the police pa
troll system. The first set of seven
inch tires is in good condition after
5000 miles. When the two new cars
are delivered, there will be eleven
Packards safeguarding the welfare
of Detroit citizens, two in the fire
department and nine in the police
service.

end of the first year and throw them

from a financial viewpoint. In the
matter of efficiency, there is abso-
lutely no comparison.

Sentiment, Principle. Law


In defining the above words Web
ster says
Sentimental thought promoted
by passion or feeling; a state of
mind in view OF some object; feel
ing toward or respecting some per-
son or thing.
Principle-A fundamental truth or
tenet; comprehensive law or doc
or on which others are founded
A settled rule of action; gov
erning law of conduct; an opinion
or belief which exercises a directing
influence on the life and behavior.
Lava rule of order or conduct
established by authority.
The appointed rules of a commun-
ity or state for the control of it's in
inhabitants.
Which one of these appeals to you
as the most desirable in a govern
ment?
The definition of sentiment very
accurately describes the campaign
through which the political parties
have just passed. Thoughts have
been prompted by passion and feel
ing and there has been much feel
ing respecting certain persons. But
note that passion and feeling form
the foundation of sentiment and
that sentiment itself is as changea-
BILE as passion or feeling may be. No
established form or rule of govern
ment can rest on sentiment alone.
The definition of principle de-
-scribes the final action of the two
parties. In their national conven-
ton they have proceeded according
to settled rules of action and funda-
mental tenets. In the national re-
publican convention the rule of seat
ing delegates from each COMPRESSION
al district was adhered to despite
the sentiment for something else.
The principle OF adjusting the tar
iff to give a proper degree of pro-
lection to American labor and capt.
tai was reafirmed. In the democrat
&c national convention the settled
rules of states voting as a unit and
nate were followed and the party
enunciated again in it's principle of
a tariff for revenue only regardless
of how it will affect American indus
try. A review of all their final ac-
tions shows the influence Of certain
principles which the party has adopt
ed.
Law represents the accomplish
ment OF authority and permanency
If derived from correct principles.
It's effect continues despite the shift
ings of sentiment. The republican
