Although at one time eXcruciating- ly popular, whiskers have now fallen off in sales fearfully.

The New York magistrate who sem

considerable notoriety as an agitator. to
a term in Jail in addition to the pay
ment of a fine, for his dissertation of
the United States flag at the Church of
the Social Revolution in New York re-
Gently, and who held nine other par
Elephants in the ceremony for further
trial, deserves commentator for his
action. Our flag can never be shown
too great respect and it is to be re-
of to-day there appears to he a lack
of time, although we trust not inclina-
ton. to accord it the honor with which
every true citizen must regard it. This
country can well do without such per-
sons as those taking part in such a dis
graceful and dishonoring performance,
even If, as is commended the action was
intended as a religious ceremony to
symbolic the merging of the peoples of
the earth into a universal brotherhood
and not as an insult to or DESPERATION
of the flag. The fact that n man may
become a fanatic is no reason why tho
forces of law and order should permit a
crime to so unpublished, especially when
the fanaticsm asserts itself in this
way.

THE RIGHT KIND OF PARTNERSHIP.

The recent conference of Massa-
chusetts bankers on Massachusetts
farming. which was held at the State
Agricultural College at Amherst, is an
example of the sort of convention which
tends towards the making of improved
economic conditions and the right sort
Of cooperation and of which we should
have more in this country. Too often
bankers have assembled to talk about
rural credits on n basis restricted with
in the limits Of cashiers desks and in
GLIDING too little of the broad fields and
special necessities of the farmers them
selves. The purpose of the Massa-
chusetts convention was to bring the
farm and the bank into more under
standing cooperation and Judging from
the reports of its sessions the purpose
has not failed of results.
Vermont bankers have been among
the most progressive in the work OF
cooperating with Vermont farmers in
putting their business and property into
aid them in every way possible. This
has worked to the advantage of both
parties and banks have often discovered
sometimes even with surprise, what good
risks the farmers We're under proper
conditions, while the farmers have dis
covered that corporation even though
possessed of neither body nor soul may
extend business aid in the friendlest Of
spirits.

PROGRESS IN EDUCATION,

The usual army of graduates which
the United States annually musters at
this time is forming and the usual
eXhortations are being given to those
leaving our colleges and universities
The speaker is rare, however, who does
not. in delivering commencement
address this year, mark the changed
conditions now prevailing and the UNI
usual opportunities in Industrial ana
commercial work which are afforded
graduates, in addition to emphasizing
the benefits Of special training along
these lines. The colleges as whole arc
to be congratulated upon the way in
which they have recognized the coun-
try's need for and recognition of the
expert, and the way in which they have
special training required by the world
to-day in practically every field of
endeavor
This effort is particularly noticeable
in the fields of engineering. agriculture
and business. The last few years have
marked rise in engineering education
from a field scarcely of college rank
to one of university and graduate rank
The colleges are also thoroughly alive
to the opportunities of the specialist in
the field of agriculture and, especially
in the State colleges, great progress
has been made along this line. Work
of inestimable benefit has been done in
the field of business education and even
greater projects have been planned for
the coming years. The School OF Bust
ness which Columbia University is to
open next autumn is an indication of
the recognition of the university of the
need of technical courses to supplement
general training. The business and
industrial world has been quick to
respond to the work OF the colleges in
these fields and has generously supple
mented it by affording students oppor-
tunity for practical work and by COM
ing into closer union with the educa-
tonal institutions

was convinced would mean the better
ment of the public welfare. The dignity
which has marked his demeanor through
out the turbulent days preceding the
convention, the deep emotion and ardent
patriotism which characterized his
speech of acceptance and his prompt
resignation from his position on the
supreme bench in order that he might
devote himself unreservedly to the
election campaign are irrefutable evil
dence that former Justice Hughes be-
American citizen to accept the nominal
ton and that he must not fail In his
performance of that duty.
The argument which the democrats
will present in searching for reasons
why Mr.. Hughes should not be elected
to the effect that the Supreme Court
has been dragged into politics, should
prove as futile az the claim is false.
The greatest elective office within the
should have the right to seek its
occupant anywhere, and no one can
| consistently find fault with Mr.. Hughes
attitude during the search which ended
on Saturday at Chicago. BY neither
| word nor deed did he at any time show
the slightest interest in the outcome of
the convention and his prompt resigna-
| ton of his judicial office was thor
oughly in keeping with the character of
the man.
The selection. of former Vice President
Fairbanks of Indiana as Mr.. Hughes
running mate will strengthen the ticket
politically. Tried in the office and not
found wanting, a man OF great ability
and clean life. Mr. Fairbanks measures
up to what a vice presidential candidate
always should be. but ottentimes is not.
a man in whose keeping the country
would be safe in case of the death of
the President.
If Mr.. Roosevelt should make positive
his tentative decllnation of the nomina-
| ton by the Progressive party, he will
furnish further and indisputable proof
of his high patriotism and win back
thousands Of his old admirers in the
republican ranks whom he alienated
four years ago
With President Wilson as the demo-
cratic nominee the contest will be be-
tween two men of the highest mental
and moral character. There will be no
mud-slinging or personalities. but,
| rather. campaign in which the voters
of the United States will have an I'M
fettered opportunity to express their
| opinions and voice their wishes on the
great questions which confront them at
this stage Of their national existence.

THE REPUBIICAN PLATFORM.

The republican platform adopted at
the Chicago Coliseum THURSDAY leaves
nothing to he said. IT'S brand Of Ameri-
canism cannot be criticized even by
Roosevelt There is no mnclng Of words
in It's denuncatior Of the democratic
administrations European, Mexican or
Philippine policies. 1t comes out boldly
for a protective tariff as means OF
restoring revenues, "of which we stand
in such dire need" 1t holds TO brief
for the Underwood tariff. as seen in the
opening sentence of the tariff plank
which reads:
"The Underwood tariff ia n complete
failure in every respect
Roosevelt, with Taft, is commended
for his consistent carrying out of the
Mckinley Philippine policy THE few
patriotic democrats" who assisted the
republicans in defeating tho adinristra,
ton bin to abandon the Philippines. are
not forgotten.
IN brle1, all that the Republican party
has hitherto stood for in its character
of nation-builder il stands for now.
One would have to be fastidious, indeed,
to determine wherein the republican and
progressive platforms disagree in their
declarations of principles, even on the
suffrage question. The Moose platform
of Wednesday says: I'VE desire that
the women of the country shall
have the fun right of suffrage" The
republican platform of yesterday says:
! THE Republican party favors
the extension of suffrage to women but
recognizes the right OF each State 10

VOTES FOR WOMEN,

The woman suffrage movement in this
country appears to have reached tho
crest OF It's wave of popularity and to
be now rccedirg The refusal of the
republican convention to Incorporate in
its platform the plank offered by the
newly formed woman's party fixes the
attitude OF the Republican party
towards the granting of equal suffrage
by constitutional amendment. while the
repeated statements of the President
that the suffrage question should be
settled by the States makes it hardly
probable that the democratic convention
will favor the Susan b. Anthony amend
.ment. Woman suffrage was defeated in
some of the larger eastern States at the
campaigns by the suffrage associations
and the movement does not appear TO
be making appreciabo Roadway in the
West
There arc many voters who favor the
granting of the suffrage power to
women in theory, but who doubt the
advsability and practicability OF tho
added expense OF n doubled electorate
with the same differences of opinion as
now exist among male voters. Should
the time come when the women Of the
country exercise the suffrage power it
will mean neither social nor any other
sort Of revolution, but merely an added
number Of voters with widely divergent
Opinions.
