President Taft and Farmers

President Taft is showing his re-
gard for the farmers welfare in a
definite way in asking the congress
of governors to consider at their
next meeting plans for the enact
ment of laws to allow the establish
ment of land mortgage banks under
state charters and the formation of
cooperative mortgage bond asso-
Citations along the line of the Lands
chaften societies in Germany. The
president says
The 100000 farmers in the
United States add each year to the
national wealth So, Acc, 900, 700. They
are doing this on borrowed cap
itaI of 5000, 100000. On this
sum they pay annual interest charg
es of $510,O00,OOO. Counting com
missions and renewal charges the in
terest rate paid by the farmer of thi
country is averaged at 8 II per cen
as compared with a rate of 4 u t.
l315 per cent paid by the farmer o
France or Germany.
Again the interest rate paid b.
the American farmer is considerabl
higher than that paid by our indus
trial corporations, railroads or mum
icipalities. Yet l think it will b
admitted that the security offere
by the farmer in his farm lands
quite as sound as that offered by in
/ dustrial corporations. Obviousl
the advantage enjoyed By the indus
trial corporation lies in the financis
machinery at its command, whic
permits it to place it's offer befOr
the investor in a more attractiv
and readily negotiable form. Tn
farmer lacks this machinery, an
lacking it suffers unreasonably.
The aid and encouragement sue
: institutions would be to the farmer
of America is too apparent to nee
comment. The president says he
in favor of laws by congress for til
, organization of national land NOR
: gage banks to be operated undo
| strict government supervision. W
: see no reason why the America
) farmers should not avail themselvt
/ of aids that have proved successfl
r in other countries.

no place has Mr. Taft been found
connected with undesirable politics.
He has accomplished more construc-
tive results than any other president
IN the White House. He brought
about a revision of the tariff as he
promised to do. The changes do not
please every one. Tariff changes
never have and never will. But
they did bring about conditions that
have placed the burdens of tariff
most lightly on the necessities of
most lightly on the nevessities of
life of any tariff we have ever had.
1t has produced conditions that have
led to the most profitable employ
ment of American labor and brought
about the largest amount of indus
trial production ever enjoyed by
Americans. 1t has produced more
desirable and beneficial results than
any other system proposed by those
in opposition to President Taft. He
has enforced the law without fear
or favor The question of good
or dad" trust has not influenced
his action in enforcing the law. The
law has been enforced against al
violators great and small and tn,
power of the government DEFINITELY
: demonstrated. The Panama cana
has been pushed to completion an,
made naval and commercial asse
of the American people. The bus
2 mess of the government has beei
: systemized and if congress will Civ
n him the power he will greatly re
: duce the expense of maintaining tn
n government. He urges servic
e and economy in the place of graf
: His policies have brought us peac
s and prosperity and he will use a.
It knowledge gained by his valuabl
o experience to maintain them and d
IS justice to all interests of the lane
k We repeat it should be Taft.

Shooting of Roosevelt

Nation wide has been the regret
expressed at the attempt to assassin
ate Theodore Roosevelt at Milwau-
kee last week. Regret is felt for
Mr.. Roosevelt personally and Amer
leans generally feel Inundated to
think that any man attaining prom
inence is subjected to so much
danger from assault. History in
dicates that it is more dangerous
to assume public responsibilities in
this country than in monarchies or
Kingdoms. Why this is true is hard
to understand. No American can
assume public Office unless chosen by
majority of the people in his cleo
ton district and when he has receiv-
ed such authority from the people
he should be assured of public safe
ty in the Office for which he has been
chosen. To be a candidate for pub
lie Office is the right of any Amer
lean citizen and the candidacy of any
man should be calmly weighed and
the decision rendered in the manner
prescribed by law. There is no valid
reason why any candidate should be
in danger of personal violence. The
fact that such people are exposed to
such danger is unexplainable but is
a condition that must be changed if
we expect desirable men to serve
us in DubIic nositions
On every hand deep sympathy is
felt for Mr.. Roosevelt in his mis-
fortune but no sane mind will SYM
pathize with him in his complaint
that the shooting was brought about
by Misrepresentation and abusive at
tacks on him. Mr.. Roosevelt himself
has been the leader in misrepresen-
tation and abusive attacks. This
complaint should Offset any political
advantage sympathy could bring to
him because it is a dishonorable eff
fort to make political capital of his
personal misfortune. Equally repre-
hensible is the following statement
by Herbert Knox Smith made in
speech at Hartford, Conn. ga crazy
man pulled the trigger but the deed
was done by the great interests
fighting the man who stands between
them and the people" No more ma
licious or false statement could be
made concerning the affair. 1t is
true there is strong opposition to
Mr.. Roosevelt's ambition but there
is no man connected with ''the great
interests" who is so foolish as to be-
lieve his cause could be helped in any
way by such Infamous methods.
Every intelligent American knows
that such misfortune brings sympa-
thy and support for the man and
the cause on which it is inflicted and
political sagacity, if every other fec
ulty is ignored, would forbid any
such nefarious scheme. To suggest
it is simply encouraging further
violence and disgrace because one
class of people cannot be led to
think that another class has attempt
ed such methods without feeling it
too has right to resort to violence.

terviews with disinteresteC

lots, interviews with disinterested
observers and, finally, growing
distrust of the desirability of a
change, show trend of sentiment in
favor of Taft. This is especially no.
ticeable in the Middle West. Senator
Gronna of North Dakota is quoted as
saying that the Roosevelt sentiment
among the farmers of his state is on
the wane and being a farmer him
self, he ought to be well posted on
the situation. This is a thinking
campaign and it is not the party or
the candidate that makes the most
noise that will necessarily get the
the most votes.--[ Lancaster Gazette.

Anarchy is the only result such be-
lief could bring.
We believe the shooting was the
work of an unbalanced mind, a
most unfortunate and disgracefuI af-
fair and that every American should
refrain from increasing the dis
grace by the suggestion that it was
fomented or encouraged by any sane
and responsible class of American
citizenship.

We believe the people generally
will approve of Gov. A. M. Fletcher
decision to give no governors ball
during the session of the legislature.
Of course it has been one of the
brilliant state social functions but
it has been very expensive to The gov
ernors and interfered very materially
with the work of the legislature. Its
elimination will relieve to some ex-
tent the necessity of large private
fortune in order to hold the position
of governor in Vermont. Coming
as it does from a man abundantIy
able to bear the financial expense Of
such a function relieves any future
governor who might not be able TO
bear the financial burden from en-
barrassment. Gov. Fletcher how
ever does not propose to save this
money for his personal benefit but
gives a sum equal to the expense OF
the ball to deserving institutions ip
the state His first gift was $1,000
to the Home for Destitute Children
in Burlington.
