Waterbury Democrat., 1902-08-19

OF a jumping Jack III the political game.
To his creGit, however, 1t might be said
that he supported the democratic ticket
when Strohel played the traitor.
The report that was expected on the
breaking up of camp has been heard
Colonel Geddes is said to have retired
from the contest for the shrievalty
nomination. Some reasons are assigned
for this step. 1t is said that the col
onel, whom everybody likes when he
Is not in uniform, has seen the temper
of the people; that, popular as he Is,
even in his own city, it Is very doubt
full If he would get vote outside OF
his party, and that would mean de-
feat The people apparently have
made up their minds to vote for Char
tiers both at the primaries and at the
election. They will no longer trust
their friendship at the polling booths,
and the time is past when good-felioW-
ships must cease at the ballot box.
Everybody recognizes that Colonel
Geddes is one of the finest young men
In town; that anything local he might
be welcome to, even any other office
but that Of county sheriff. In this the
people would rather see a civilian than
member Of the National Guard. The
report that he would resign We're he
elected Is very good, but people would
rather see the resignation first, then a
very large obstacle to his getting the
nomination would have been removed.
Former Mayor Baldwin used to say
that 1T was this habit of voting for
good; fellows that raised the very deuce
with democrats. 1t is evident that
those times are going by and that men
can retain their esteem for each other
without taking it to the polls. An
other report has 1t that the colonel was
given the tip at camp to get out. There
is probably some truth in this, for gen
orally the annual camp Is the head
quarters for tliee week for the republi-
can party. The menu gives their di-
gestive apparatus much needed rest.
and they have plenty Of time to view
at their ease the whole field of politics.
And still another report is to the effect
i that the colonel was advised to clear
the field for MIR Lilley because It
would not look good to have too many
candidates. from the same section. Mr.
LiIley is to be given all the leeway he
desires and the fight on the part OF
Mayor Charters Of ,Ansonia is to be
watched with field glasses. There is
no element in the state so interested
hin the fight,of Charters as the military.
1t, takes good deal to, convince some
people, and not until Charters is en-
dorsed by the electors of New Haven
county will the powers that be be con-
WINGED that the people are aroused.

Editor Chaplin, 1t seems, has taken a
hand in plugging Chris StrobeI's game.
In last evenings American that paper.
in an alleged interview mostly manu-
featured in the editors brain, had the
following: IF you will look through
the files of the Democrat you viii find
that no advertisements for the Lake e
Strobel company is to be found on its
advertising pages. Mr. StrobeI has al
ways refused to advertise with that
paper. Once he refused so emphatical-
" that fear he hurt its feelings. That
is the reason why the Democrat has so
stoutly opposed his nomination, accom-
panying its opposition by accusations
of about all the political crimes under
the SUM- 1t is poor rule that doesn't
work both ways, Editor Chaplin. and if
what you say in the above paragraph
about the Democrat and Strobel is
true, it is fair to presume that the
American has been bought up for Stro.
BEL as it carries his 800 advertisement
IN a preferred position. The Democrat
long ago learned that politics and BUSH
ness doesn't mix any too well. and it
also found out that Milesey Connolly.

The crisis in the Avenue house matter
at st. JOhnsbury came last week Tues
day morning, when the sign "closed "
was placed on the door of the main en-
trance, as a result of the ejectment case
of Caldbeck vs.. Landlord Black. Since
the raid on December 10 Mr.. Black has
been trying to sell out his interests in
the hotel, but without success, and, as a
last resort, on Monday evening filed his
petition in bankruptcy. His liabilities
are Sl0,0S0 80, of which S53l5 is secured.
His assets are S0925, of which $1,000 is
household furniture and $1,000 is claimed
to be exempt. This proceeding rather
compicates matters, for before anything
can be done with the furniture and fur
nishings meeting of the creditors must
be held and a trustee appointed. In the
mean time one of the best hotels in Yer
mont has TO remain closed, much to the
Inconvenience of the travelling public.
During Mr.. Black term as landlord the
business increased more than one-third,
and in the main the house under his man
agement has given general satisfaction
to both the travelling public and towns
people. Mr. Black is undecided as to his
future, but is looking for an opportunity
to rent furnished house, and if this
cannot be found he expects to take a
position as manager or steward.

That farming will pay in Vermont If
gone at with the same energy and
thought that is given To other business
has been proven by Enoch Smith and
his brother. About five years ago Smith
purchased for 5000 farm of 40 acres
in Sutton. At that time only few head
of cattle were kept where now 30 head
are being wintered. The first season
Mr.. Smith cut from a 30 acre lot seven
two-horse loads of hay. The past
season he cut 4G loads from the same
lot. There are now ON the farm three
barns 3sXlG and Robert Mcdowell Of
Lyndon Center has just commenced
work on another of the same dimen-
sions. In bringing his farm to its pres
ent high state of cultivation Mr.. Smith
has not resorted to the use of any of
the much-adVertised modern fertilizers.
Here is a good object lesson for boys
who think farming cannot be made to
pay. The time these young men spend
in idleness and lettering at street cor
ners discussing other peoples all airs
could bring every abandoned Vermont
farm back to lis former state of pro-
iveness.-LyndOnville journal.

The Orville marble quarries, situated
about one half mile north of Clarendon

Willis of PIttsfield. They will begin
operations at the quarres about Nav
under the name of the Orville Marble
QuarryiDg company. The lessees own
and control several acres of marble land
adjoining The Orville property which has
not been operated for several years. The
OrViile deposit was discovered about 1919
and later when the property came Into
the hands of William +. Barnes, the
pioneer marble man of Vermont, he con.
slderod it one of his best quarrles. The
property was bought in 1856 by DR.. Or
willie Il. Baker. from whom il receives It's

Orville Marble company, which con-

found seven feet below the surface and
tests have been made 10 "a depth of 1872

WHAT MAKES A GENTLEMAN

VIVA MAKE a OENI LEHMAN
Mrs. Astor's remark to a World inter-
viewer last Sunday that without college
education "no man can be a gentleman
furnished the press of the country with a
topic which it is still spiritedly discuss
ing.
Much of the comment made upon it is
based, we think, upon toO-literal inter-
probation. 1t is not to be supposed that
Mrs. Astor meant to say either that all
college men are gentlemen or that there
are no gentlemen except college men. y
college education Is generally understood
to include a complete course in good
manners. Every college n aduate, there
fore, should be a gentleman-and as a
rule he is. So far Mrs. Astor's PROPOSE
ton will command assent. Probably
this is about all the lady meant to say, be-
cause she Is well aware, of course, that
scores of men classified as gentlemen by
universal consent-including many Astors
of hOnored memOry-never saw the in
side of a college.
OF our twenty-five American presi-
dents nine were without college educa-
ton, and hence could not have been gen.
tlemen by a literal application of Mrs,
Astor's standard. These nine non-colle-
giate presidents include George Washing
ton, the model gentleman of his day

and dignity of bearing; Abraham Lin.
