The Payne Tariff Bill

IN discussing the Payne tariff bill,
Vice President w. S. Sherman in
his speech accepting the renomina-
ton said:
That tariff act has closed no fac
tory, has put out the fires in no fur
mace, has thrown no mechanic or
iaborer out of employment. 1t has
opened no free soup houses for
starving families deprived of the
wage of the bread winner; it has
formed no bread lines of jaded, dis
heartened seekers for employment.
1t has kept wide open the home mar
kets for the product OF the farm and
the factory; industrious workingmen
having the highest wage ever known,
have been enabled to build new
houses; to clothe well their children;
to provide for their schooling and
to give them a generous measure of
the comforts and luxuries of life.
The landlord is not embarrassed in
the collection of his rent; the grocer
in receiving pay for his supplies, the
church of his choice in receiving his
free gift from the prosperous Oiti-
zen. Nearly ten millions Of depos-
itors in the savings banks had, last
year, laid away over four thousand
millions of dollars ($4,212, $50, Oe0),
while every branch of moral, social
and educational betterment has
received vital impulse and generous
support. Wherein can the thoughtful
citizen see promise of betterment in
the frantic cry for change?
That cannot be said of any demo
cratic tariff bill of the last so years
and all that the progressives can of
fer in place of it is glittering prom
Uses. The republicans are ready to
Improve it as fast as definite knowl-
edge of what changes will be bene-
fetal can be obtained. 1t must be
admitted the republicans are ahead
on the tariff.

Judge Lindsey's Appeal

Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver in
closing his address here last week
said that he did not know Mr.. Metz
ger, the progressive candidate for
governor, but he appealed to the vot-
ers to cast their vote for him in the
September election for the encoUr-
agement and endorsement it would
be to the followers of Theodore
Roosevelt throughout the country.
Mr.. Voter when you go to the bal
lot box next Tuesday you are not
voting for any candidate for nation
al office, you are deciding who shall
administer the business of the state
of Vermont for the next two years.
You too are in the position OF Judge
Lindsey, you do not know Mr..
Metzger and know much less OF his
associates on the state ticket. They
have had little or no experience in
state affairs. On the other hand
every man on the state republican
ticket is an experienced man. They
are all men of unquestioned honesty,
of proved efficiency and informed as
to the requirements of their position.
No man in business would think of
throwing such men out of
his business simply to encourage
some fancied friend in distant sec
ton of the country and he should
not do it in a state election. The
election on Tuesday next is simply
a Vermont business affair and we
should act on good business prin-
ciples in the matter. 1t will be bet
ter for Vermont and better for the
country as a whole if the voters will
ignore these appeals from men out
side of Vermont and vote as the best
interests of Vermont require.

To MIR. Roosevelt

Mr.. Roosevelt you are coming to
our town and going through the
state of Vermont appealing to the
voters to support you as the foe of
special interests, to reinstate you
after one trial of seven and half
years as the restrainer of trusts and
monopolies. 1t is stated, and we
have seen no denial of the statement,
that when you became president
there were in this country 149 trusts
and combinations with a capitaliza-
ton of 100000 and when
you left the presidency seven and
one-half years later there were TO-
O2O trusts and combinations with a
capitalization of 1,OOO,0OO,O
Now Mr.. Roosevelt will you give
a direct answer to this question?
Would you hire for a second time a
man to exterminate rats who in his
first trial had allowed the same rate
of increase in rats that you allowed in
the formation of trusts and monopo-
lies during your former service as
president of the United States?

PRESS COMMENT
Big Business and it's Regulator

Dig business anu It's REGULATORS
In a discourse of Mr.. Theodore N.
Vail, which the World printed on
August 18th, he said that we can't
get along with small business, and
that it was big business properly
conducted that would give us ma
tional and individual prosperity.
Being asked, What should be the
relations between the government
and big business?" he went on to
say:
No government can run business,
and no business can run the govern
ment. Our form of government was
never intended to run business; it
was not cut out for that; its organi-
zat1on is different. 1t is the duty of
the government to conserve onr
rights and privileges and see that we
all enjoy them. That applies to the
rich as we'll as to the poor, and to
the strong as well as to the weak.
This duty of conservation gives the
government the right to regulate
business, and l want to say that it
is far easier to regulate business
than to run it. Take the men who
are looked upon as great captains of
industry. There are very few of
them, because there are very few
men who can run a big business or
big corporation. But there are
any quantity of men who could re-
view their acts, and who-if they
had the proper information and gave
the question proper examination
and study-could say whether or
not the men who were doing things
were doing them right.
Personally, I believe that business
ishould be given pretty free hand
but that it should be made respon-
sible and held responsible. There
lshould not only be responsibility;
there should be also accountability
That applies to all, high or low

Is the Appeal Fair?

The appeal of Theodore Roosa-
welt and his supporters is for the
voters to assert themselves against
the use of money in politics and the
influence of money. They make that
appeal here in Vermont. Now we
tradiction that in the contest for the
republican nominations for state Of
ficials less money was used this year
than in any campaign of recent
years. 1t was not because the can.
didates did not possess money but
because they refused to seek poll
tical Office in that way. 1t is one
of the most encouraging features Of
the present time that in this cam
lpaign men came before the voters
and appealed to them on their mer
it's and declared they did not care fol
the use of money and impure poll
tics. They ask the voters to re
buke the men who have given the
people of Vermont just what they
say the people should have. Is thii
! fair?
The only reason any Roosevelt
man cannot support the state re
publican ticket is that it would no
encourage the candidacy of Theo
dore Roosevelt for the presidency
The republican ticket was nominated
fairly and honestly in a fair am
open contest and if they ever wer
entitled to support on the ground o
clean politics it is this year. Mr.
Voter can't you vote on the state IS
sues September and let the pres
idency wait until the proper time il
the nomination unless it came with
out the improper use of money. Still
Mr.. Roosevelt and his followers asl
the voters of Vermont to reject thes
men at the polls as a rebuke t
the November election.

rhe impression of St. Johnsbury's

The impression of st. Johnsbury's
successful pageant is shown by the
following clipping from the news
columns of the Littleton Courier.
More than a score of Littleton
people attended the pageant at St.
Johnsbury the last three Gays of
last week and enjoyed a most I'M
usual performance executed in COM
mendable fashion 1t was in obser-
vance OF the 125th anniversary of
the founding of the town, and was
a worthy effort, requiring the SER
vices of no less than 1000 persons.
The pageant took place on. small
plateau near the top Of Pine Knoll,
an ideal place for woodland drama
tics. The participants came on from
most unexpected points in the woods
which fringe the hilltop, and the
beautiful costumes and the natural
background made a spectacle which
will long finger in the minds of
those who witnessed it. The pageant
was descriptive of the founding of
the town, following its growth from
the beginning to the present day.

Charges Not ALWAYS Facts

Agitation always brings to the
surface a mass Of corruption and
putrefaction. The people who are
busy earning their daily bread can
not know the bad conditions under
the surface, unless the independent
newspapers and Independent orators
expose the piles of filth that newt
ably adhere to political parties after
a long time in power Burlington
Daily News.
The Burlington Daily News al
ways tries to call a spade a spade
hut this time it is trying to call
everything a spade. Agitation al
ways brings to the surface a mass
of charges of corruption and other
undesirable things but in many cases
they are only charges. This is
especially true in the present poll
teal campaign. We have had
charges enough to swamp everything
