Vermont Democrats viewed with
alarm the proposal to place a no-party
candidate for senator at the head OF
their ticket, and they may now point
with pride to the virtuous results.
1t is amusing to hear The Rutland
Herald thus praise the Democrats for
doing the thing calculated to give most
help to the Republican candidate for
senator, when eight years ago, if we
are not mistaken, The Herald was
counting Democratic fusion in the aid
of one Clement, then a "political
privateer. -

Summer resorts in the United

an unprecedented boom next year.
Europe is too unhealthy for vacation
lists from the United States Those
who went abroad have regretted more
than once that they did not pick out
the Berkshires, the White Mountains.

coast, to say nothing of the countless
other localities in the East and the
many in the West that afford oppor-
tunity for pleasure, recreation or rest,

American visitors, are empty. Ostend,

quented by Americans are bemoaning
their losses because of the war. Their
season is brought to close months
ahead of schedule time. The result is
that there will not be that harvest
which every season is counted in the
millions. That money may be spent
at our own summer resorts next sea
son. Europe will have few attractions
for Americans next year.

The National Farmers Union is de-
handing a square deal from congress
and state legislatures on the market
ing of farm products. The federal and
state governments have been spending
millions of dollars annually in urging
the farmer to increase production, but
little attention has been given to the
marketing side of the question. 1t is
a well-known paradox that the larger
the crop the less the value and slim
ulant to production without correspond
ing aid in marketing loses much of its
worth to agriculture. The nation is
fast awakening to the fact that mar
keting, and not production, is the prob
lem of the farmer.

WHAT THE WAR TAXES COVER,

The South has never been vehv en-
thusistic on free trade in its SEN
timents. Deep down in their hearts
the southern Democrats have voted for
reduced tariffs in the old-fashioned
slashing way because they felt that
they had to support the northern Dem
ocrats and moreover being producers
instead of manufacturers they did not
think they were going to be hit by the
tariff lessening.
They were hit, however, for what
hurts New England. hurts the South
that grows cotton for New England
and hurts all the section that feed up
to or are fed by New England Hence
the New Orleans Picayune, always
Democratic and advocating the war
taxes still says in explanation:
cit is unfortunate that the United
States should be compelled to levy a
war tax while it is at peace with all
the world; but the close connection and
INTERPOLATION Of all commercial nations
today Was neNer better Illustrated than
in the present case, when war be
tween the European nations democrat
ICES America, upsets its finances and
commerce and cuts down its revenues.
cit has been 10 years since we have
provided war tax, and when we lev
led it before we were actually at war
with Spain, and needed the money for
our naval and military operations We
need it today because Of a financial de
! felt, due to commercial paralysis. The
! present Congress only recently shaved
| down the tariff because it was Welding
more than the country needed, and with
the further object in view of relieving
the people from an oppressive burden.
Perhaps in its zeal Congress cut lit
tie too deep, and allowed a very narrow
margin for any accident or unexpect-
ed demand. Moreover, although it was
| pledged to a policy Of economy it has
! been eXtravagant to the last degree
| The result is the deficiency which it is
now proposed to NAL Ike good. 1t is not
large, certainly not over one hundred
million dollars, and it is merely tenn
Porary.''
1t is easy enough to read between
| the lines here, an admission that there
would very likely have been de-
felt even if there bad been no war.

Mira Webster Richards. and an active

the Manchester Union, Concord Mon
itor and Nashua Telegraph-three of
the largest dailies in New Hampshire.

times far apart in political policy.
Mrs. Richards. with her woman's tact
and intuition, successfully filed all
their varied requirements. Mrs Rich
ards has also recently become the
Washington correspondent for the
Manchester Mirror. another leading
New Hampshire daily.
Among the newspaper men Mrs.
Richards is especially popular. she
shares equally with the others IL
long hours as well as the comradeship
OF the press gallery. So modestly In
conspicuous indeed does she make her
self that 1t was year before a mag
aine editor discovered her. AS one of
the 200 members of the gallery Mrs.
Richards has described many impor-
tant events during her three strenu-
GUS and trying years at Washington.
She is neither a club woman nor a suf-
fragette. but devotes herself wholly
to her work. Besides her newspaper
duties. she finds time also for an oc-
casional magazine article and other
literary work.

than those which ate this feed, and
have made a little better gain. The
saving in cost Of feed is 90 per cent.
The colts have been fed the same sort
of roughage-alfalfa. corn fodder and
pasture.
One lot has been fed oats every
day and the other has had q combIna-
tion ration. 10 per cent. corn. rs per
cent. bran and five per cent oil meal.
One pound Of this mixture contains
the same digestive elements as one
pound OF oats. Also. from the stand
point of energy value, the two feeds
are equal. pound for pound. The test
shows farmer can better afford to
feed the mixed ration, with corn at S5
cents a bushel. bran at $50 a ton. oil
meal at $40 a ton. than oats at so
