A FORERUNNER OF HOTEL
DEVELOPMENT.

The filing Of incorporation papers for
a hotel company to erect 100000 ho-
tel at Newport on the shores of Lake
Memphremagog is one of the most pleas
ing pieces of news that has been pub
lished in Vermont for a long time. We
trust that the act of incorporation
means the consummation of the plans
of the projectors, for the addition of
a hotel of such size and equipment as
is indicated by capitalization of $780,
900 would prove of marked influence in
developing the northern section of Yer
mont in the business of entertaining
summer visitors. The region about Lake
Memphremagog is splendidly endowed
by nature as an attractive place for the
entertainment of hundreds of people
through the summer months, and all
that has been lacking to realization of
the possibilities was a sufficient quota
of hotels. Newport itself offers fine
center for the summer vacationist bus
mess, and once started there under the
right conditions the business will branch
out through the whole northern tier of
counties, inasmuch as each of them has
handsome sheets OF water and scenery of
rare beauty. So it is to be hoped that
the Incorporation of the Newport hotel
company will eventuate in the erection
of large building for the purpose.

MARYLAND and Louisiana.

Mr.. Roosevelt has been advised that
disaffected Democrats in Maryland are
turning to the bull moose party, and
he is ss'd to be much heartened by the

Income Tax FalIacy.

The economists who assert 1t is for
tunate that congress levied the income
tax on the ground that otherwise the
government would be confronted with
a much larger deficit than the Euro
pean war is producing, do not think
back further than the day the Under
wood bill became a law. The fact is
that the tariff revisers in Washington
reduced the rates and put commodities
on the free list with the knowledge
that 1t would reduce the customs reve-
nuesebetween 100000 and 100000
900. To make up this deficit they levied
the income tax. Had they passed a
revenue tariff bill, designed to raise
money for the support of government.
the income tax would have been I'M
necessary, and all money needed would
have been pouring in at the customs
houses these many months. American
business would be in a much more
prosperous condition than war now

SHOWED BOSS RULE.
Significant Result Of Recent Pro-
gressive Primaries.
Explanation Made Seems to Reflect on
the New Party as the Champions
Of Nomination by Primaries
Instead Of Bosses.

The followers OF Colonel Roosevelt
have been the champions OF the pri-
mary. as against the party convention,
to defeat boss rule. II there is a Pro-
gressive party now in existence 1t has
not made itself manifest in the pri-
maries so far held in any state. The
story is the same in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Kansas. The Progressive
vote was insignificant In all these
states, and the explanation offered is
that there we're no contests for the
nominations and therefore no incen-
tive for the Progressives TO show their
hands In the primaries. That was the
explanation offered for Mr.. Pinchot's
small vote in Pennsylvania, for Mr..
Garield's insignificant vote In Ohio,
ard for Mr.. Murdock's vote of less
than ten thousand In Kansas.
The explanation may prove true in
November, but Il seriously reflects on
the professions of the Progressives as
the champions of nominations by pri-
maries to defeat the rule of the bosses
In every state named the Progressive
candidates were hand-picked. They
we're selected by an organization ma
chine, perhaps a gentleman's agree,
ment. There was only one Progressive
candidate at the primaries. The Pro
gressive voters had no part in the Sc
lection of the candidates they are to
vote for in Novmeber. The leaders of
this party of political puriets have
been more successful in boss rule than
ever were Thomas c. Plat and Mat
thew s. Quay in their palmiest days.
The Progressive party was made up
of men who had been persuaded that
the bosses and not the rank and file
controlled the Republican party. They
revolted against boss rule and opposed
conventions as too easily controlled by
the bosses. They refused to be like
sheep, herded and delivered to this
candidate or that one.
That the great majority of them
we're honest in this belief goes without
saying. 1t is also to be assumed that
the great majority of those men who
followed Roosevelt out OF the Repub-
hcan party still believe in the primary
as the only fair and honest way to
make party nominations and that they
are Just as much opposed to hand
picked Progressive candidatesAs they
were two years ago to convention-se-
lected candidates. They do not diff
ferentiate as to party bosses. They
are as Indifferent to the party whip
when cracked by Colonel Roosevelt.
Mr.. Pinchot. Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. Muir
dock as they we're to the old party
whip in the hands of the Republican
leaders. This would appear to be the
only explanation of the small Progress
sive vote In Pennsylvania. Ohio and
Kansas, in keeping with the profess
sions of Progressives.
The new party has in two years be-
come boss ridden. and like the Popu-
list party of 20 years ago. one cam
paign exhausted its strength as we'll
as its principles. II was a quarter

Colonel Not Consistent.

Colonel Roosevelt has denounced all
the policies OF the Democratic admin
istration In the plain unmistakable
Rooseveltian language. but up to date
he has not done much to overthrow
them. Reports from Connecticut are
that the people are eager to replace
the Democrats with Republicans all
along the line this fall. II the colonel
will only refrain from forcing his Pro-
gressives into the fight And there is
no Barnes. or Murphy, or Penrose. or
