Democratic Party Weakcns.

Our friends across the political
fence are busting their campaign
ROSTERS, and practicing shouting.
Let them remember the many flow
cry hopes of August that are blasted
by the chill frosts of November
The Democrats have had complete
political control for only two years
since 1860. When they had the pres
idency, the country had for all but
two years a stout congressional string
tied to it.
When the nation agrees for a long
period on one verdict, it is safe to
consider it based on good judgment
and practical experience.
A man may be just as honest, just
as good a neighbor as any other.
But if he has not had the right bus
mess training, he does not get job
as a factory superintendent or an
office manager.
For some reason lying too deep for
brief treatment, the Democratic par
~ never seemed to have the gump-
ton TO run the country's business
smoothly and prosperously.
OF course there are plenty of good
business men who are Democrats.
But somehow the men who drift to
leadership in that party are not Of
ten men of business experience. They
were trained by the college profess
sor and the politician, rather than in
office. factory, and mill. They con-
sequently make a lot of blunders that
men of better business training would
easily avoid.
The Republican leaders and candi-
dates are not always necessarily
what would be called business men."
But as a usual thing. they are in
much closer touch with the business
community, they place a higher val
lie on business experience.
The difference between the busin-
ess prostration of 1898 to 1897, and
the comparative high prosperity since
that time. tells the story.
Nothing causes so much suffering
TO working people as incompetent
management. No weapon in their
hands can avail against inefficiency.
No political policy can bring so much
disaster TO the American working
man as management in which bus
mess principles are not correctly ap-
piled to the tariff and finance .-Rut

Vermont Money For Vermont.

One of the important planks of the
Republican state platform is that
which calls for an equalization OF
the tax rate on corporations and in
dividuals with a preference in favor
of the latter class. This idea means
much for the development of Yer
mont's neglected resources, because
If worked out promptly, il means q
material increase i'm the investment
OF Vermont money in Vermont. The
Journal understands that the Repub
lican candidate for governor is
strongly in favor of such a policy.
At the present time practically all
loans are made by the banks, as
the individual money lender who
pays the local rate of taxation can
not compete with the bank which
pays a state tax naturally lower than
the average local rate Of taxation.
AS a consequence millions of dol
lars of Vermont money seeks invest
ment outside of the state.
No state in New England needs de.
velopment so much as Vermont
This is the most fertile agricultural
state in this part of the east Our
farmers are becoming aroused to the
possibilities of the new and improved
methods of agriculture. but they
need cheaper and easier money for
the development of their farms, their
diaries and their orchards. The ma
tional Republican platform OF 1912
recognized this need for the first
time in the history Of the party.
Il seems to this paper that a law
exempting from taxation money
loaned in Vermont at per cent OF
less would greatly benefit the farmer
as well as the individual or corpor-
alton desiring to develop our indus
trial resources. II would check the
flow Of money out of the state. II
would put at work at home money
now invested in bonds OF other Sc
curities paying a low rate of inter
est and perhaps paying no taxes to
Vermont. II would make II easier
for taxpayers to be honest.
A law along similar lines has been
tried in New Hampshire and found
to be satisfactory. II has not Grip
pied the banks. II has not seriously
depleted the state revenues. What
ever tends to develop state indus
tries sooner OF later benefits the
banks. N some Of the Vermont mon
ey now deposited in our banks and
loaned outside the state could be
loaned al per cent or less on Yer.
mont farms. In developing Vermont

LITTLE GIRL MURDERED
Another Shocking Tragedy Revealed
In New York.

Little Mary Barbuto was dead
when her body. encased in gunny
sack was thrown into the East river
according to the coroner's physician
who yesterday performed an autopsy
on the body of the eight-year-old
child which was picked up by a boat
man on the Brooklyn water front
Saturday. The girl had been strangl-
ed to death with a blue and white
bandana handkerchief which had
been pushed far down her throat
Although the child had been miss
ing three days from the home of her
parents in Brooklyn the coroner's
physician does not believe the body
had been in the water over "a hours.
The little girl, after playing about
the yard of her home for some time
Wednesday morning, went out into
the street and stood watching the
people passing her house. That was
the last time her friends saw her I'M
til the body was picked up in the
river. Mary's father is a stevedore.
The police theory is that the child
wandered down to the water front
and was lured into some pier shed
and there attacked.
The assailant, finding the girl IN
conscious. choked her to death. it is
believed, and pulled the sack up
about the body, first putting weight
in the bottom of the bag Then the
body was thrown overheard. A hole
in the bottom of the sack indicates
that the weight worked out OF the bag
allowing it to come to the surface of
the water. The handkerchief found
stuffed in the girls mouth is about
the only clew upon which the police
have TO work. il is said.

BENNINGTON, VT, JULY 80, 191.
THE COUNTY TICKET

The Republican county convention
Monday nominated a strong ticket, Oh
the whole, while in its resolutions il
took an advanced stand along the line
of giving the people themselves a lar
ger control of their own affairs. which
is the trend of popular government
these days.
The candidates for Senator James
X. Batchelder and Norman l.. Mat
tison represent different classes and
in that respect the ticket is except
ionally we'll balanced. Mr. Batchel
der, as is we'll known. is one of the
ablest men in Vermont. He has
reached an age when he has no politi
cal ambition further than to make a
credtable record in the senate this
year After his nomination Monday
he stated that he desired the nomina
ton this year in order that he might
give the best service possible to the
state and to Bennington county for
few weeks and then retire absolutely
from politics.
Mr.. Madison comes from one OF the
smallest towns in Vermont, but has
served many terms in the Legislature
and has always proved a valuable
member. His shrewd common-sense
native ability, and keen knowledge Of
human nature, give him great in
fluence in the legislature. He is a
farmer and a lumberman and is ex
ceptionally strong with the everyday
citizens, who make up the great ma
jority of the people.
The rest of the ticket has shown its
strength in that all were renominateo
without opposition. Judge Kent i:
given a third nomination. which is
unusual, because he has performed
his duties in so satisfactory and fail
manner that there was general de
mand that he be retained. Judge
Perry is one of the finest men in the
state and has the earnest support o.
all Republicans and the respect and
esteem OF all others.
Sheriff Godfrey is an old soldier ant
man whom all admire. He will run
ahead of his ticket and deserves TO.
States Attorney Meagher is q
clean, capable young man, who has
been six years in Office and yet nj
candidate appeared against him. The
attack made on him Monday by Mr.
Hapgood. in the opinion of The Ban
ner, was trying to make mountain
out of a mole hill Mr.. Meagher II
not indicative and has never sough
to devote his Office TO the promotion
of strife and bitterness over trivia
matters, but has given the best of hi
time and work TO the cases of rea
importance.

Griffith. are two of the best probate
judges in the state and 1t would be |
