Correctly Sized Up.

From the standpoint of decency
and manhood, what honest American
citizen would today exchange places
with Mark Hanna?
Officially he is in the company OF
class of men drawn together by a
process of selection which bespeaks
their manhood and integrity. With
these men he is bound to associate
daily during the sessions of congress,
knowing that for him they entertain a
contempt that passes expression.
Hailed few months ago as the
maker of a president, he is now
sneered at, even by those who fought,
that fight with him as one who would
betray that president and place him
in history along with the weakest of
public characters. Standing out de-
family against the mandates of this
great nations conscience he sputtered
out that all who wanted to 90 to war
with Spain for humanity's sake were
fools and thriftless idlers. He can
now be found lurking behind the doors
and cringing in the corners Of the
White House, endeavoring to infu-
ence the course of war so that specu-
lators and corrupt politicians may
reap the benefit.
From the Legislature which commits
stoned him to serve the people of
great state has gone charge, direct
and specific, that with the use Of
money he secured his commission.
What honest man in America
would today change places with Mark
Hanna? What manly man in Amer
lea but pities him?
Nor power nor riches make the
man in this country. Nor power nor
riches bring him respect in America.

The Bennington correspondent Of
the Troy Times says: "The recent
death of Joseph Poland, a veteran
newspaper man Of Montpelier, has
led several Of the state newspapers
to make the statement that Mr.. Pc
land was the first to start anti-slav-
cry paper in Vermont. The state
ment is incorrect, as the honor be-
longs to the late William Lloyd Gar
rison, who edited The journal of the
Times at Bennington Centre, the first
number appearing in October, 1928.
1t was a well printed sheet of four
pages, with six columns to the page.
In the very first number of the paper
Mr.. Garrison proposed the formation
of anti slavery societies in Vermont
and spoke of the Importance of petit
tioning Congress this session, 10 con-
junction with our southern brethren,
for the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia Mr.. Poland
was not more than ten years old at
the time Garrison was editor of The
Journal of the Times. A few years
ago the Bennington Historical Society
approved of the following inscription
to be placed on suitable monument
to mark the site of the Garrison
printing Office: 'On this spot William

We are indebted to DR.. L. Haynes
Buxton, a native and former resident
OF this town, now prominent physician
of Guthrie, Oklahoma territory, for
the following poem, published by the
Daily State Capital of that city:
put those Vermonters in the lead,
And keep the ranks well closed!"
Said Sedgwick to his officers,
Who not one word opposed.
"For they have got record grand
OF doing what they try
Fer since that once eventful day
When Allen took Fort IT."
And in four years of rebel war
1t was Vermont's proud boast
To fight on many battlefelds,
And not one flag was lost.
And then, at Gettysburg. than hers
No banner swung more high
When Stannard struck the rebel right
And made their banners fly.
So, on through years of peace or war,
Vermonters take the lead
Spring to their country's sure defense
| In time of sorest need.
And, so it's at the the present day
Her record still is high
For Dewey took Manila
As Allen took Fort I'll
Then three times three for dear Vermont
| Our grand old mountain state!
Her sons are taking foremost rank
Among the good and great.
Three cheers for her proud banner
You'll swing it none too high
Since Dewey took Manila
And Allen took Fort I'll.

Armed Britishers are to assist Bur-

Clipper says:
The Forty-Third battalion, Ottawa
and Carleton Rifles, have decided to
come to Burlington to help us cele
brate the Fourth of July this year. 1t
is not many years since the proposal
of body of British troops to assist
in an observance of the anniversary
of American independence would have
been regarded as an anomaly; and
the fact shows the extent TO which
past differences between Brother
Jonathan and Cousin Canada have
been overshadowed by the enthusiasts
tic movement in favor of an Anglo.
American alliance.
A party of Canadian gentlemen, in
Guiding Lieut.. Col. A. P. Sherwood,
Maj. s. Maynard Rodgers, Lieut..
Russell, Blackburn and Mr.. j. W.
Smith, assistant general manager of
the Canada Atlantic railroad, have
been in the city in consultation with
the mayor, with Mr.. j. w. McGeary,
whose guests they were for time,
and with other residents of the city
to see what arrangements could be
made. They found that Burlington
enviable reputation for unbounded
hospitality was to be fully sustained
in their case, and it is practically set
tied that this city will have the unique
honor of entertaining on July 4 next,
force of Queen Victoria's soldiers
under arms. The commander of the
Forty-Third battalion has already Sc
cured permission from Gov. Grout,
through Adjt.-Gen. Peck to come in
to the State under arms and all the
preliminaries have been settled.
The battalion will be accomo panied
by two military bands, and, inasmuch
as the troops will include representa-
tives OF the cavalry and artillery SER
vice as we'll as infantry, all in full
uniform, the body will present fine
appearance. The Forty-Third is the
crack command of Canada, having
won the prize for efficiency over all
other military commands in the
Dominion for three years in success.
sion and having won the record for
workmanship also. The military with
the bands will number 400 men and
it is expected that large number of
prominent citizens of Ottawa as well
as United States Consul General
