The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1912-01-20

With great strike pending in
Britain over the minimum wage
question and a bloody and bitter
strike in Lawrence over practically
the same issue in another form, 1t is
time to turn little thought to. the
minimum wage question. The strike
at Lawrence probably won't sue
coed. Riotus outbursts usually
react against those guilty of them
unless the provocation justifes and
it didn't in Lawrence, but nobody
need fool themselves that the issue
will be dead One fault of the rep
resentative form of government is
the fact that its continually chang
ing officials in authority do not
look ahead far enough. The mini
mum wage question is bound to be
one OF the great issues during the
next few years. 1t might just as
well be settled amicably through
conference, compromise, legislation
and Cancellation. 1t might take some
years time and patience and tact but
wouldn't that be better than to leave
the battle to be fought and won, as
it win be fought and won, through
bitter and bloody industrial war.

Direct Primaries Again.

The Rutland News continues It's
opposition to a direct primary law
for Vermont saying, "As to the peo-
pie in primary elections, their rights
and privileges would not be one whit
different from what they are now.
The caucus Is the peoples own In
precisely the same sense as the pri.
mary election would be. No less,
no morel A turn out of the people
will determine caucus results as
the people desire. What more could
primary elections do9"
II is we'll that the press should
discuss the objections as well as the
advantages in any proposed change
OF laws 30 the public can weigh both
sides Of the question. We admit
that the people might have more
voice in the town caucus II they
would only turn out" But they
can determine the choice Of their
town alone and not the choice Of the
people as n whole. We have already
shown how the wish of the majority
OF the voters In Caledonia county
could be defeated by the verdict In
six towns. The same is true In the
state. For instance two towns often
have the same number OF delegates
to the state convention. In one town

the State in the Rogers case 1t would

authority to pardon a murderer. or
commute sentence of death TO life
imprisonment II seems strange that
in the Kent case Governor Mead
should have received letters from all
parts of the state asking that the
death sentence be committed to life
imprisonment" No one had even in
timated and it was never suggested
by anyone that there were any facts
bearing on the case which were not
presented to the Jury which convict
ed Kent, or to the Legislature which
refused to commute his sentence.
Why then the maudlin sentimental
ty, the appeal to the Governor who
could do nothing If he would, ex-
cept temporarily postpone the day
for execution, and that not without
having been satisfied that newly dis
covered evidence could be produced
which would have tended to acquit
the convicted man. What did 1t all
amount to? Why should not the law
take its course since 1t was the law?
And why should the chief executive
be bothered at all? And II SO be
seiged by the misguided seekers af-
ter something which they could not
have, why did the Governor need to
feel, as he says he did, that mo per

tremendous responsibility until call

Counting Chances.

We do not recall any Presidential
year since 1884 in which the study Of
probabilities, based on previous cleo
tons and on an actual indication of
population sentiment, was more in
teresting and more puzzling than it
is on the eve OF the approaching
campaign. Leaving aside any esti-
mate of the currents of opinion or
the effect of particular nominations
by the two parties, there are certain
figures which will bring out the COM
plexity OF the situation.
Mr.. Taft was elected by 221 Elso-
toral votes 70 162 fer III. Bryan, a
majority OF 159 IN q total OF 4ss Ills
total vote was 7,67s,s0S, and bis
popular majority was 1,26e, s04, lit
tie more than II per cent. But, de-
cisive as this looks, there were 5
States in which 81 Electoral votes
were won by pluralities of less than
per cent of the total vote, or, in
other words, change of one vote in
twenty in those States would have
made a difference of 104 lnthe Elec-
toral College The incident shows,
as like incidents have shown in the
past, the extreme intricacy of our
system of election for the Chief Exc

battle calculations when political par
ties are nearly equal In strength and
feeling is fiuctuating.
This year there will be 531 Elector

Mexico with 3 votes each, and 26(
votes will be required for an election
