THE NEW METHOD OF MAKING
SENATOR'S.

Considered in its broader aspects
what does the suggested change from
the choosing of senators by State
legislatures to their election by the
people of the state really signify?
What are the objections to It? And
what are the reasons in its favor?
What If any conditions make such a
change necessary? Ana waither does
IT lead? Manifestly there are two
sides to the question.
The essential fact about this change
is that II means II populari2ation of
both houses OF the national govern =
ment. a numerous and varied cleo
torate may be relied upon to Judge
whether n man Is honest and whether
he is OF the type they like II can not
be relied upon to Judge of man $
special ntness for particular work.

to scare us out of being our natural

as fitting for us 10 call an elevator an

would be improper in us, but little

If there Is tacit consent that each

VERMONT'S OPPORTUNITY.

CFrom the Providence Journal
4 movement which promises to become
of much Importance has been started by
group of influential citizens In Yer

purpose of the Greater Vermont assocla-
tion is to encourage certain classes of
manufacturers, improve agricultural con-
ditions ana product aid in finding mar
kets induce hGh-class Immigration, and
Increase summer tourist patronage
There has been an impression vulced
from time 10 time with unjust emphasis
ny some of the ''yellow" journals, that
Vermont was not keeping pace with the
aeneral advance in prosperity and wealth
of the nation. This condition. so far as
it really exists. arises from the rather
marked exception which Vermont pre-
sents to the tendency toward industrial
development long in progress In all the
utLcr Eastern States. and of late in most
al of the states of the Union.
Vermont affords very Interesting
illustration of the influence of environ
ment upon population, The State was
settled principally by natives of Con-
necticut ana Massachusetts. and although
the farmer State was the pioneer in
American manufactures and the sons of
Connecticut have become famous
throughout the world as the embodiment
Of Yankee ingenuity, their blood relations
in Vermont have not developed tnese
characteristics in aggressive fashion
There has been. it is true, modest pro-
portion of manufacturers in the state IN
some instances very successful. but the

WRITING Us UP.

1t has apparently become the es-
tahlished practice. when an author has
attained reputation in another coun-
try--more especially If he gives evi-
dence of possessing that distinctive
thing, a point of view--to bring him
to this country on what seems to be
the combination of tour of triumph
and visit of Inspection This is en-
phatically good business" 1t extends
and intensif1es the writer's reputation
by Showing him off" II also fur
nishes material for a profitable liter
airy production. The objection Is tina,
this is rather hard on the author---h
he Is as far from the genius monte
bank as an author ought to be. 1t il
also hard on the victims of the in
spection and subjects of the volume
of comment which is sure to follow.
This outbreak is provoked by a
series in current American maga-
zine bearing the patronizing title:
"Your United States" 1t was shame
to drag Arnold Bennett from the coa-
genial and familiar environment OF
America" An ordinary writer of any
thing like Mr.. Benefits nneness
would be entirely spoiled by the pro-
cess. or more likely by the bending of
spirit necessary before he could sub
init to such an ordeal Arnold BEN
nett is saved by fount of humor whose
continual buildings over betray to us
the fact that he knows he Is making
fool of himself ana knows we know
1t. The folly of these impressionistic
attempts to sum up our country and
people is due to tne fact that Ameri-
cans are just people ana America is
merely the world. If Americans were
flouyhnhnms, and America the moon,
the attempt would be less battling.
1t is financially worth while to pen
these books for us about ourselves,
because the subject is so absorbing
That We grasp at every straw for
possible Information as to it, Self
interest is to the civilized specimen of
mankind what self-seeking was to the
savage, And because we are thirsty
for talk about ourselves and particu-
larly for compliments, we afford an
unfailing market for literature of this

PLUMLEY FOR REPRESENTATIVE IN
CONGRESS.
(F'rom the Landmark.)

The Landmark has received n commun-
ication from Judge Frank D. Thompson
of Barton announcing his candidacy for
representative from the second district.
He charges Congressman Plumley with
acting with the reactionary element and
Disappointing the expectations of the
voters who elected him and in general
taking no aggressive position on legisla-
ton. In his announcement Judge Thomp-
son makes no specific declarations him
self. but says:
IF nominated and elected shall sup
port those measures which are in the line
Of progress and which make for the bet
terment of social and political conditions
throughout the country, | shall devote
myself earnestly and agsressively to the
welfare and interests of my constituents
and to the moral upbuilling and material
development OF my state
This is a good platform, but hardly
sufficient in the opinion of the Landmark
for retiring good and experienced pub
lie servant in favor Of new and untried
aspirant Congrossman Plumey has
served the State and his constituents we'll
IL the two terms he has spent In Wash
ington and this expo cnec VIII aid him
If he is returned for another term. We
have heard very little said against hin,
in this vicinity and believe he is con-
sidered by the majority of his constit-
vents as worthy of denomination. 1t Is
very easy to say that one man is more
progressive than another because he is
more demonstrative, but the voters will
do we'll TO examine the facts carefully.
The Landmark stands for progressive
policies and believes in the recall Of the
unit and the election of the best men
for all Offices. Therefore we endorse the
candidacy Of Congressman Plumley.

VERMONT AS A POLITICAL PACE
MAKER,

We are glad to note that Governor
his fatherly interest In tho old State
as a son Of Vermont by announcing his
intention to wage vigorous campaign
in this State in August. Inasmuch as
lie is n candidate for the democratic
nomination for the preside of the
United States, Il is to be assumed that
forded by our September election
which has not infrequently set the
pace for the nation In connection with
presidential election.
Judging from the comments now
made by republicans in different parts
Of the State candidate for a third
term would lead a host Of sons Of Yer
mont to put country above party. and
it Is conceivable that the Green Noun
tain State might have n warm place in
its heart under such conditions for one
of her own sons,
However Vermont has been fairly
steadfast in her republican affiliations
ana we are expecting that there will
BE- no particular call for the repudia-
tlon Of a republican candil late for the
Institutions and constitutional gov
eminent
II is a source OF satisfaction to tho
people of Vermont TO note the infu-
ence which her sons are exerting in
national politics as well as in various
other States We note in this connec-
ton that "Phl" Stewart, son of our
honored Ex-Governor and ex-United
States Senator John w. Stewart has
just announced his candidacy for the
republican nomination for the govern
orship of Colorado. If Mr.. Stewart Is
"A chip OF the ola block" as we sus-
pect is the case. he can be trusted to
the nomination ana election and to
give Colorado thoroughly efficient
md high grade administration.
Stranger things have happened than
that Governor ODE Stewart of Col
orado might also come to Vermont In
August to countcract the influence of
Governor FOss of Massachusetts,, in
which event there would be a lively
campaign
Present indications are that while
sues paramount In our September cleo
ton along lines Of pure progressive
ness. a strong effort viii bs made to
