CURRENT COMMENT
Such accidents as that at St. Johns
bury this morning show us what a great
deal Vermont still has to do in the line
i abolishing grade crossings. The work
really has but just been started. Every
.town which has a railroad line has its
:problems, and should lend its co-oppra
tion in performing a splendid work.
Those who have witnessed the air per
formances of that young Vermont avla
tor, Schmidt, will be particularly anxious
that none of the accidents come to him,
of the sort which befell young Peck at
Chicago yesterday. And if he keeps to
the more modest performances and in
not led away by desire to shine as a
marvel he stands a good chance of living
out his natural life, at least so far as
aviation accidents are concerned.
Straight-away flying and careful turns
are the safest methods.
This thing has about gone the limit.
fN'o sooner is William T. Haines elected
governor of Maine than Theodore Reose-
velt comes out and asserts with positive,
ness that Governor-elect Haines is a
Roosevelt man, having informed him so
directly, and that he should work for
Roosevelt. That report rebounds from
the Pacific coast, where Roosevelt is
,engaged in his speaking tour. But just
jas soon as the report reaches the East
pomes a counter statement from the At
jlantie coast, from Governor-elect Haines
himself, declaring with equal positive
Tiess that he never asked Roosevelt to
Tefrain from fighting him in Maine be

Taft's Economy Record.
The country will be forced to listen to
many specious arguments and state
ments from each of the three parties In
the course of the campaign, for no one
party has a monopoly of political faults
anv more than despite the colonel-
there is a monopoly of the virtues. But
among all the arguments to be made,
none, taken by itself, will be sounder
or better based than the claim put for
ward by Mr, Hilles upon Mr. Taft's
"economy record." Unfortunately, this
h not a thing which commands the popu
lar interest it deserves; but it is I
thing which touches us all, since the gov
eminent can be run only by the pay
ntent of taxes, and since taxes are at
least one factor in the cost of livintr.
Many ot Mr. latts accomplishments
are open to argument and dispute, but
there is no question of bis having- re
Qucea the cost ot running the govern
ment, for the figures are there to prove
it. 1 his is the more ot an accomplish
ment when it is remembered that for
many years the national budget has only
been increasing annually. Reduction has
only been brought about by firm insist
ence upon Mr. Taft's part in dealing
with his subordinates that, without re
ducing the efficiency of the government
service, waste and extravagance must
be progressively done away with.
The 51fI.MW.(K)0 by which the annual
expenses of the government were in
crensed under Mr. Roosevelt came out of
the people's pockets; the $8,000,000 by
which, m spite ol further growth of
operations, the expenses have been re
duceil under Mr. Taft, will find their
way back to the people's pockets, un
less this administration is succeeded by
one more intent on noise than on per
formance. In spite of the scant en
couragement which he received from the
Democratic leaders in the House, there
is at least one thing in Mr. Taft's rec
ord which Oov. Wilson, if elected in No
vember, can profitably study and emu
late, and that is Mr. Taft's painstaking,
laborious care to reduce the national ex
penses and to put the operations of the
government as nearly as possible on a
business basis. It has been wise as a
matter of public policy, and in an era
of general extra vagancf, private as well
ss public, it has been a valuable ex
ample. Springfield, Mass., Republican.

which any court la the land would de
clare to be usurious.
"Of conrse we shall go out to dinner,

"Yes, dearest," replied the happy

"But one of these days we shall hare

The bride looked up Into his eyes
with a confidence that inspired half a
dozen more kisses. "Of course, dear

famously with my cooking lessons."
"And it will be such a change," he
continued, "from the monotonous fare

True Refinement.
Little Virginia, seven years old, re
cently started to private school and is
hearing many strange things about
culture and refinement Her mother Is
very careful about tue children with
whom Virginia plays and wishes to
know all about them before intimacy
Is permitted. The other day Virginia
had been playing with some children.
"What children?" nsked mother.
She was told about some new chil
dren that bad just moved into the
neighborhood.
"But" said mother, "yon know I
have told you not to play with chil
dren unless I know tbem and say It is
ull right I don't know anything about
these children."
"But, mother, they are perfectly cul
tured and refined." ,
"How do you know they are cultur
ed nnd refined?" asked the mother
amused.
"Well, they have two automobiles In
that family." replied the small one
with, decision. Indianapolis News.
Gwendoline Travers, who was ready
fo be wooed and won for a wife, met
George Merrynian. who straightway
caught her fancy. Mr. Merryman was
attentive to ber for. a time, then sailed
off to sip honey from another flower.
One day Mrs. Travers said:
"Gwen, what has become of George
Merryman?"
"Gone over to the enemy."
"What enemy?"
"Louise Chllds. She has been angling
for him while be has been paying at
tention to me and finally booked him."
"And what have you been doing
meanwhile?"
"Nothing. If be prefers Louise I
don't see bow I can help it"
"And so you are- content to have a
designing girl take your lover away
from you?"
"I am above design In such matters."
"Yes, you are made of too good stuff
to take an unfair advantage of a rival,
but you can at least act as though you
still considered George a friend, or 1
can do It for you. I'm going to invite
him to dinner."
"Oh. mamma, don't!"
There was no reply to this. Mra.
Trayers went to her writing desk,
wrote the invitation and sent It to Mr.
Merryman. It was accepted and on
the appointed evening the gentleman
appeared duly clad In bis "glad rags"
and a rose In bis buttonhole. He look
ed rather proud of himself, for he could
not but regard the Invitation en effort
to draw him back to his first allegiance
and it flattered him.
Louise received him as graciously as
If he had not suddenly dropped from
being attentive to ber and begun to
burz another girl. As she was too
proud to go after him, she was too
proud to let him see tnat nis cnange
hurt ber. She did her best to act nat
urally and friendly and succeeded.
Those were all the conditions re
quired.
There was do other guest present
except Mr. Merryman, and the dinner
went off much more pleasantly than
might have been expected. The truth
Is that young men are usually drifters.
To a girl the matter of her settlement
with the man she Is to marry is an
important epoch in her life. The man
usually doesn't count on settling.
Many men don't wish to settle, and
some would run away from a settle
ment George Merryman enjoyed the
preliminaries of matrimony, but had
no use for the article itself.
All was going pleasantly at the din
ner when there came a ring, ana a
servant brought In a box addressed In
man's hand to Louise Merryweather
bearing the trade name of a well
known florist. Opening It there lay
a supply of cut flowers.
Why. there's no card with It!" ex
claimed Louise.
Mrs. Travers paid no more attention
to the matter than if her daughter re
ceived flowers every day. The good
lady was giving a servant orders con
cerning the dessert which was about
to be brought In.
"Mamma." said Louise, enlivened
with pleasure and curiosity, "some one
has sent me a box of flowers anonymously."
Well, my dear, you needn't fear but
the sender will tnrn up In time.
Young men don't make such offers to
young ladies without Intending to get
the credit of the gift"
Louise was puxsled and could not
help showing her elation at the atten
tion from her unknown admirer. She
sniffed several of the flowers succes
sively, then had the conrtesy to offer
one to Mr. Merryman. He took It and
laid it on the table beside him. Pres
ently he banded It back to her, snying:
"Excuse me; I appreciate your gift
but I don't like to accept a flower sent
by an admirer. The flowers were in
tended for you, not for roe."
There was a touch of bitterness in
his tone and his manner when be said
this that smacked of pique, to say
nothing of downright Jealousy. Louise
looked serious, and ber mother re
proved the butler, who had brought the
box into the dining room.
"Hereafter, James," she said to him.
"when anything comes to the house
while we are at dinner you will leave
it in the hall till we have finished."
Merryman had come to dine with his
friends, feeling that he should exert
himself to act cordially. After the
flower episode be found It difficult In
the first place. Louise bad shown no
feeling at his dropping ber, and. In the
second, some one was evidently ready
to take bis place. After dinner be and
she were left alone by her mother.
After saying little or nothing for some
time, with a scowl on his face, Merry
man broke forth:
"Ifs all bosh for you to say yon
don't know from whom those flowers
came. Doubtless the fellow sends
them so often that it's not necessary
for him to put In a card. If you're en
gaged you might as well say so."
Mr, Merryman was a gentleman, and
nothing but downright Jealousy could
have forced him Into any such rude
ness. Louise saw her advantage and
made the. most of it With quiet dig
nity she asked by what right he made
such demands upon her. The game
was won. Merryman left the house
Joyful that after all. her folly had not
cost blm the girl be loved.
The next day Louise went to the
florist and asked who sent ber the
flowers.
"They are charged to Mrs, Travers,"
was the reply.
