APPRECIATION OF VI'.RMOXT FARMS. While the era of high prices is bearing somewhat heavily upon consumers In different directions, wo are reminded that this ill wind Is bringing prosperity to a host of landowners throughout the country, and particularly ln Vermont, ivhere farm land has been unusually and treasonably low. An observing citizen of Orleans county grys that a number of good Canadian farmers have been coming across the 'lne and purchasing farms, and that property of this class which went beg tlng a few years ago for $(5,000 now sells for $10,0oi) and other forms sell In proportion. We have In mind a well known citizen f Addison county, who bought a farm for $2,500 and who was recently offered 17,500 for the property, although part of '.he increased valuation should bo credit ed to Improved farm buildings. These Instances which might be multi plied almost without limit vindicate tho issertlons we have frequently made In Miese columns, that Vermont farm lands onstltute the very best kind of an In vestment for those who know how to handle this class of property. The effects of this increased valuation )t Vermont farm lands and the con sequently added attractions of this State as a region favorable for the Htohlthlng of homes are to bo seen In pert In the n turn to Vermont of people who migrated from the State years ago, and in some instances the children of furmer residents of the State are com ing back to tho old home. We welcome these evidences of In creasing thrift and success on the p.vrt of our farmers as a clas, for we should never lose sight of the fact that the soil In the foundation of our prosperity, as commonwealth, and that the posses sion of Increased wealth among this class of our citizen!" means better educa tion for the sons and daughters of our State as a whole and tho hlghci llfo which follows in the train of such development PRIMARY REFIRM IN VERMONT AND MASSACHUSETTS. In spilo of the rfforls of certain people to pose as pioneers in political progrossivenoss in Vermont, this commonwealth had made considerable progress before the present period of presi dential muckraking began. Wo have been trying in particular to solve the problem how to secure the most effective and satisfactory expression of sen timent on the part of the rank and flic with reference 70 candi dacies, and a direct primary bill would have passed the last Leg islature, if members of the Legislature had followed the example of one of our present candidates for governor in trying to carry out platform pledges. Not a few peoplo overlook the fact that tho political pri mary problem is complex nnd manifold rather than tho simple question of system of voting. These problems are; 1. How to get the most correct expression of popular will. 2. How to induce voters to tako part in selection of can didates. 8. How to prevent members of one party from voting in primaries of another party. 4. How to limit the use of money in primaries. In spite of the tremendous display of political pyrotechnics in New Jersey and the enormous crowds attracted by tho cam paign oratory set off by the two most prominent personages in the country, less than fifty per cent, of the total enrolled vote went to the primaries. The New York Post also states that many democrats voted the republican ballot in the Now Jersey primaries. It is no secret that money has been used in presiden tial primaries more than ever before. It will be noted that the operation of the direct presidential primary in New Jersey did not. solve the chief problems which have confronted tho people of Vermont in connection with the discussion of eoucus reform, and so far as the expression of the popular will is concerned opinion is still divided as to the morits of various forms of the presidential primarv used in this voar of 1912. The fundamental idea of the direct primary is to get at the voice of the people without the use of our representative form of political government, and therefore to get unadulterated pub lic opinion so far as the party involved is concerned. The experience of the republicans of Massachusetts has demonstrated, however, that this feature of the problem still remains to be solved. Before people went to the polls in the presidential primaries it became necessary for some authority to select names or to make up a slate of delegates to represent the different presiden tial candidates. A very few men did this duty in behalf of the voters as a whole. When this step is closely analyzed, it will be discovered to constitute the most arbitrary power on the part of a few men, or in other words an accentual ion of the very weakness of our representative form of political government that the direct pri mary was intended to remedy. Before the republicans of .Massachusetts voted, a commit tee selected a "list" of delegates for whom all the Taft men should vote and another committee selected another "slate" for whom all the Roosevelt men should vote. Previous to the pres ent year these delegates had been selected, often as a result of spirited contests, in a State convention, and in the case of dis trict delegates in district conventions. It becomes manifest, therefore, that so far as the selection of delegates themselves is concerned the presidential primary has removed the people farther away from the choice of repre sentatives as dolegates instead of making that selection more direct. To carry the idea to its logical conclusion a preliminary primary should be held in which all the supporters of any par ticular man for president, should vote for choice of delegates to be supported in the regular primary for the election of delegates in order to avoid the division of that presidential candidate's strength among rival candidates for delegates, as happened in Massachusetts, and consequent defeat for that presidential can didate. In view of the fact that this is a presidential year. Vermont democrats are not likely to participate to any material extent in republican caucuses and thus lose their right to take part in their own caucuses, and this will be particularly true in Bur lington and other towns where check lists are to be used. It is evident, however, that the political primary problem is still with us. We want our caucus law so modified that peo ple will vote and vote without the incentive of money and vote in their own party caucuses rather than in those of the opposite party and vote a correct expression of the popular will. If anybody knows of any direct or other system that will accomplish these ends, he will be entitled to the thanks of the present generation as well as of all posterity for having solved the complicated political primary problem, by whatever name it may be known. Our present primary system may not be all that it should be, but we should make sure that any substitute or modifica tion is to be an actual step forward in some of the directions in dicated rather than a move backward. So far as a presidential primary is concerned, the ideal plan would be to hold the caucuses throughout the whole country on the same day, without delegate candidacies or other issues to in terfere with a free expression of tho popular will. That won II make it a difficult matter for any candidate to spread money in any particular State, or to make a spectacle like that through which different States have recently passed. If the representative principle is wrong in one direction, it cannot be trusted in another direction. If we are to be a pure democracy instead of a representative democracy every man must be his own lawmakor and his own lawyer and his own .judge as well as his own executive, which affords another force ful illustration of reduction to an absurdity. 1807 to 111 Inclusive that took exam inations the Unlvorslty of Vermont's percentage of failures was only 3.3 as compared with 4,5 f the University of Pennsylvania medical department, 19.S of the College of rhysldans an J Surgeons of Chicago, s.r, of tlie N"rt- western Mellcnl Collage. 21.9 of tho University of Louisville medical do pnrtmcnt, 3.9 of tho Joffernon Medical College, 2.9 each of the Harvard Medi cal school nnJ Johns Hopkins.

Navvy Rhymes are of a somewhat special character, anl I quoto from tho Antiquary an Interesting account! Tho following doggerel Is well known throughout tho Mldlnnls. It has the countenance of some antiquity, too, as many persons remember It si having been sung when tho first rail way between LonJon and Birmingham was being made: I'm a navvy, you're a navvy, Working on the line: Flva-and-twenty bob a week, And all the overtime Roast beef, boiled beef. Pudding mado ot eggs, With a pair of sausage legs. Durfey, In "Wit and Mirth," 1382 preserves several trade songs. One or. tho blacksmith begins: Of all the trades that over I see, There's none to a blacksmith compared may be, With so many several tools work:, he, Which nobo-Jy can deny. The weaver's song Is prcscrvel ln Deloney's "History of Jack of New bery," where It Is mentioned that "there came his highness whero lw saw a hundroi looms standing In ono Toom and two men working In evory one, who pleasantly sung ln thU sort:" When Hercules did use to spin, And Pallas wrought upon the loom, Our trade to flourish did begin While conscience went out selilni broom ; Then love and frhndshlp did agree To keep the bands of amity. When princes' .ons kept sheep in field And queens made enkes of wheatecl flower. The men to lucre did not yield, Which brought good cheer In every bower; Then love and friendship did agree To hold the bands of amity. Miss Burne has preserved the followinj tinker's song ln her "Shropshire Folk lore: 9o hero I come meddle, come mend your kettle. Come mend an old kettle all around, With my rlnk-a-tlnk, and a sup mor drink. I'll make your old kettle cry sound, Sound, sound! I'll make your old kettle cry sound. I am a Jovial tinker, I've traveled both far and near. And 1 never did meet with a singer Without he' could drink some beer! And It's then with a friend we'll a merrj life spend, Which I never yet did I vow. W;h my rlnk-a-tlnk tink, and a sur more drink, I'll mnke your old kettles cry sound, Sound, sound!
