Other Minority Presidents.

He is not by any means the first
president who has been elected by a
minority vote. In 1892 Grover Cleve-
land received large majority Of the
electoral vote, but his popular vote was
5,556,91S to 5,17G,10S for Harrison,
1,041 ,02S for Weaver Populist, 26i,-
133 for Bidwell Prohibition) and d.
1874 for Wing Socialist Labor. In
other words, the combined vote of 9th
er candidates was 6,502,433 nearly
100000 more than Cleveland.
Four years earlier Mr.. Harrison won.
although he had fewer votes than Mr..
Cleveland. The figures were: Harri-
son, 5,44O,21G; Cleveland, 5,53S, ,233;
other candidates. 402,411. Thus Har-
risOn was nearly 100000 behind Cleve-
land and 100000 short Of the combined
opposition.
In the close and exciting Cleveland
Blaine contest of 1884 the Democratic
candidate was ahead OF Mr.. Blaine,
but slightly behind the total vote Of
| opposing candidates. The result was:
Cleveland, 4,911,017 Blaine, 4,S4S,334
st. John Prohibidon), 151 1900; Butler
(Greenback), 133,S25. Thus, while
Cleveland led Blaine by 62,6S3. he was
behind the combined opposition by
222,951.
J In fact, minority presidents have
been the rule. Garfield was one. He
was a slight 1000 ahead Of Hancock,
but more than 100000 behind all OPP
ponents. The figures were: Garfield
4,449053; Hancock, 4,442,035; Weaver
(Greenback), 307 ,3O6; Dow Pro), 1O,-
| 305; Phelps (Amer), 707.

PARTY GENERALIZATION.

The Republican party Is now pre-
senting the spectacle Of the most
complete decentralization ever witness
ed IN American politics. It is a house
without honor an organization with
out integrity. Party custom is de-
stroyed. Party tradition scofied az.
Party pledges are empty phrases.
Patty faith is gllghted. Distrust, sus-
picl0n, accusation mark the hour.
By the admission Of his own cam
paign managers Taft is only the non
inal nominca. They have Roosevels
"a their hands. They don't know what
to do. They charge Roosevelt with
plotting 10 steal electors. They would
prevent that theft by any means avail
able, even to the extent Of a retalia-
tory bolt They are deferred frorl
that extreme step only by the proba.
bility that it would bring them before
the courts as defendants in action to
prove their title to regularity.
Obviously. to charge Roosevelt with
plotting to steal electors is in effect an
indictment Of the party, but the TAFT
managers don't appear to realize that.
Il is a self-eyident fact that Roosevelt
cannot steal electors except with saa
consent Of those. electors. And those
electors would hardly conspire to Be
stolen except they felt the voters back
OF them approved the conspiracy.
No party has ever been so indicted
by its leaders as the Republican party
IS today. No other party leaders were
ever driven to the consideration OF
such extremes as the Taft managers
now have under adyisement. They
are frankly debating the wisdom Of
placing an independent ticket Of Tart

DREAMS


! come each night to a quiet shore
My thoughts slip out to sea.
Without a goal these ships Of my
soul
Sail out of the reach Of me
They fade so quick to the skyline dim
And many are lost in the deep,
But some come back from their up
ward track
And into my visions creep.
My soul is tortured by the wrecks
Where the gallant sailors die;
But ! love the song Of the happy
throng
When the pleasure boats come by
From yonder ship a brother speaks,
| see my father smile.
Across ID sea they call 70 me
And the years turn back awhile
With sudden ache Of empty arms
! stand on the shore and pray.
That the ship may last till the night Is
past
And at down ride into the bay.
But the ships Of my soul are fated
ships
Whatever their freight may be.
There is never a dawn but finds them
gone,
For they all go down at sea.

Village Improvement.

From the Springfield Republican.
An admirable brief statement of the
scope and importance of civic improve
ment is given in four small pages in
the August number of Facts for Farmers.
the monthly leafet issued by the ex-
, tension service of the Massachusetts Ag-
ricultural College at Amherst. The
author, Prof. Frank A. Waugh, notes
that while the rural population of the
by public spirit and patriotism, the farm
ers themselves have profited least from
their own public spirit because they have
so often been unable to act in their own
interests. For this reason rural COM
the modern movement for civic improve
ment. Its scope is wide. including such
items as roads. streets and trees along
the highways. bridges. street railways,
parks. commons, cemeteries, school
houses. Fairgrounds town halls. libraries.
churches, telephones and other public
equipment, private grounds. etc-mat-
tiers that concern rural districts as we'll
as the city.
To secure the needed improvements a
we'll planned program has been laid out
can cooperate. Essential steps are keep
ing the public informed and interested,
securing expert advice on any improve
ments projected. preparing plans to be
executed little by little, thus avoiding
expensive mistakes. forming local i'm
provemont programs in which the neces-
sary things are taken up in logical order,
and distributing particular enterprises
among various organizations that will
