is a preference to goods made of ma
tSIlals bought when prices were higher
than now and to the 'impossibiIitv' of
reducing retail prices until after these
goods have been sold
what the people who talk this way
mean IS not that the retail prices can
not be reduced at once, but that an i'm
medlate reduction involves the taking OF
loss by the dealer and that he will not
take that lf~he can help it. His reluc-

In pursuance of a custom dating back
for centuries the city of London today
will elect new lord mayor to serve as
chief magistrate Of the metropolis during
the ensuing year. But in reality the real
lord mayor will continue to be Sir VIII
liam Soulsby, who has been private sec
rotary at the Mansion house since 1875
For forty-fve years Sir William has been
the right hand of every man whom the
public has imagined to be holding the
office during this period Two or three
hundred people call at the Mansion
house every day to see the lord mayor,
and Sir William with smiling courtesy,
sends them all away-satisfied Seven
hundred people send letters to the lord
mayor every twenty-four hours, and all
the hands of the private secretary. The
new lord mayor to be chosen today win
be the forty-ffth to whom Sir William
Soulsby has acted as private secretary.

That the people of the state have not
endorsed the idea of sending exper-
fenced legislators to Montpelier is in
dictated in the list of nominations for the
house of representatives in the recent
primary. Out of the list of candidates
in the PAT towns and cities we find
the. names of only 10 members of the
last house and some Of these are not
expected to stand as candidates in the
election. In the list of fifteen members
of the last house not more than half
of them are men of any particular in
fiuence in that body, the rest of them
being just members. Undoubtedly there
are other candidates who have had pre-
vious legislative experience, but it seems
safe to predict that not more than one
fourth of the membership of the next
house will be experienced lawmakers.
The candidates for the senate are nearly
all men of previous legislative exper-
fence and they will demonstrate their
value by introducing fewer bills and
transacting the business of the session
in less than half the working hours of
the house.

The country store is losing its bust

people go to town in their automobiles
and buy there. Another cause is the
rural free delivery. The people do not

PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the Repub-
candidates for Office will receive general
endorsement by the people. Better town
roads and better rural schools are gen
orally demanded and can be obtained
only by good business management of
the state government. Equalization of
taxation is a goal long aimed at and
may involve new methods of taxing au-
tomobiles and the taxing Of all visible
property whether personal or real es-
tate. Recognition of women and the
invitation for them to accept political
responsibilities is in accord with the lat
est constitutional amendment.
The enactment of a liquor enforce
ment law similar to the Volstead act
viii make the state responsible for the
the enforcement of national prohibition
within its borders.
The declaration for closed primary
indicates the party will not attack the
primary law in general but will try to
make it more definitely party vote for
candidates for the various offices. It
will close the door to those Democrats
who in years past voted for Agan and
nominated Clement in governorship con-
tests. Such a change will strengthen
the law as it gives each political party
opportunity to select the best men for
political Office.
The declaration for a lump sum COM
pensation for legislators will have a
tendency to curtail legislative expenses
and shorten the sessions of the Iegis-
lature. Legislators are underpaid, as
rule, but with a lump sum salary pro-
vided they Will have it in their hands to
make the compensation sufficient by
Fastening the woH of each legislature
Taken as a whole the platform de-
clares for the interests of the people
rather than politicians and promises
progressive legislation that should ben
eft the state in service and in expenses.
