Tt.was the enthusiasm of the lesson of this primary convention, with its large vote, which transferred the state con- vention today from a picture of dul- ness and listlessness which. up to two weeks ago, everybody had drawn, into the vivid, cheering body of today. Per- haps in succeeding years when the democracy has been successfully van- quished and the test is all the pri- maries, our state conventions will sink back into this pictured dulness. But with the fine auspices for victory and the encouragement of the prim The Outs are exceedingly happy.” The voters of America have not yet resolved to turn the country over to | democracy and free trade, of which evils they are too well aware.

It is not the party of 1810. It is decidedly more amenable to struction and counsel; it looks h more favoring eye upon progres- sive policies, and it has seen appro ingly the changed attitude of the pres- ident toward vital questions. No re- publican platform today in an enlight- | ened state can boast of all the legisla- tion of the first part of President Taft's term. The president himself has ceased to boast of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, and the voter new men- tion but two good things in it, one | being the Philippine tariff clause, and the other the tariff board—the two sections in which the president was most interested—and they will have more confidence in the party and will be more likely to return it in power in | says s, as the whole gradwally in- No oue be- is nearly so the republican vear ago.

There were 2,200 present, and they were splendidly entertained and mem- | ories of this great occasion were in- delibly impressed upon their minds. The Courant savs: “One of the civil | war veterans after the exer: es were over said: ‘It was splendidly done. We did not have time after the parade to meet and express but every man of all that done for | he men | | for was us. ve their time in making the | arrangements, these who contributed to the entertainment and in many cases at great inconvenience | to themselves, loaned their automobile; for our use in the parade, have our heartfelt g There is war veteran in | this part of the state who was pres- ent that will not endorse this senti- | ment | It is generally conceded that the | !u\!(] that * { heaven | dent does things and does them q {out how To u‘f.ia AF mmns K!ch FAIRS. One of the prime causes of public indifference to many communal affairs’ is because the individual voter. has not been trained so that he is con- scious that public affairs are his af- fairs. The average voter does not realize that he is “the peopl It is the real individual concern of every voter which must create the best government. The Worcester Ga- zette states it right when it say “It arnounts to little to theorize, think out amd get adopted new schemes for giving the people greater voice in the ordering of their affairs, unless the people have the spirit which woves them to come forth and take a hand in public affairs.” Commission form of geovernment, nor divect primaries, nor any other sub- stitute, will not meet the crying need of activity in public affairs which s shown in all parts of New KEngland. Individual interest and action in government are all that counts. Cem- maunities who complain of bad gevern- ment are more to blame for it than those in authority. The remedy is not in new devices but in an awakened and responsible citizenship. NO ONE LIKES TO PAY TAXES. The Bulletin takes exception to the declaration of a contemporary that “No one likes to pay taxes!” It may be true that no citizen likes to pay taxes who does not once in a while realize a direct benefit from them. For instance, The Bulletin remem- bers an e over a city street with excellent residences upon it, and from the taxes of 27 years enough had not Feen spent upon this street tc remove the crown of an underlying ledge which had been an impediment to travel all these vears. The citizens had been ordered to put in good walks at their own expense, and this negli- gence of the street was their defense against being put to such large ex- pense. Taxpayvers get indirect benefits from ceniral development and the care of parks, etc., but as an evidence of in- teres nd good faith they like to see improvements made near their homes. They want good lights and geod streets as well as others. The Bulletin does not think that fusi taxes under a fair system are com- plained of by reasonable men, and there are many of these in every com- munity. Men who pay taxes are like men whe pay for anvthing else—they like to feel that they are getting some- where near their money’'s worth, EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Scriptures everywhere represent the | dead as being in a rcndxgon of un- consciousness, “asleep” in ‘the tomb, the grave.—“The dead know not any thin “for there is no wisdom, nor device, nor knowledge in the grave whither thou goeth,” (Ecclesiastes ix, 5, 10.)« We must carefully examine the text under consideration, for the true meaning, recognizing that all of the expressions of the inspired Scrip- tures are in complete harmeny, The ninth verse of this same chapter ex- express an opinion,” a fact that there was no trouble in cities which used voting ma- chines on Monday.
