Addison county has not furnished a
candidate for delegate to the Republican
National convention for many years,
and there seems to be a general recog-
milton of her right to do so at this time
if she can name a good man. She can
name a man whose influence in the
deliberations of that convention would
be second to no man in Vermont, and
one whose reputation is as broad as the
nation; a man too who is a personal
friend of President Roosevelt If Yer
mont wants to draft her best and strong
est men, let her send EXGov John
w. Stewart as one of the delegates at
large.

A Valentine Wedding.

One of the most brilliant social events
of the season in Rutland was the we'd
ding which took place at Trinity church
Monday evening when Miss Edith jose
phine Morse, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gardner Morse, of Rutland, was married
to William Stearns futile, eldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. Egbert c. futile. The
groom is one of the prominent young
business men of that city, being vice
president of the futile company and
manager of their printing and binding
department.
The maid of honor was Miss Berenice
Rachel futile, sister of the groom, and
Charles Egbert futile, the groom ;
brother, acted as best man. The ushers

criticise the roads more often than they
do anything else, but both do aim to be
fair and just.
The great trunk railroads between
Buffalo and New York, including the
N. Y. Central, are in worse shape than
the Vermont roads. A leading Buffalo
paper says there are 10000 cars loaded
with freight stalled between those points
and that it will be several weeks before
the situation can be relieved.
The causes assigned for the congestion
are snow storms, extreme cold, lack of
motive power and heavy traffic. The
cold makes it impossible to load the
trains heavily, and it requires nearly
three times as many locomotives to take
care of traffic in the extreme cold as it
would in moderate weather.

Vermont Weekly Trade Report

The unusually cold weather of the
winter which still seems unbroken has
delayed operations in those lin which
call for outside work or where sufficient
heating facilities have not been provided.
In many places retail trade has suffered
because of cold weather but as the
workman has employment to large
extent he has means and can find an
available store to supply his needs. The
lumber business is very active as CON
ditions are favorable for logging and for
hauling logs to the mills and streams.
There has been no trouble to secure an
ample supply of ice of good quality; the
ice houses have already been well filled.
Among the favorable features are the
general employment of labor which is
due to reasonably good demand for
manufactured products, good sleighing
and a strong hope for the future. Feat
ures not as favorable are extremely cold
weather and in many places lack of the
usual water supply. As far as reported
there is no labor trouble of consequence.
Burlington reports business fair among
the manufacturers, mills and shops are
running WELL wholesale trade is normal:
collections fair and retail stores are
doing "A good business. In Rutland
manufacturers are busy employing as
usual a large force of workmen Retail
trade and collections satisfactory con-
sidering the unfavorable weather. The
granite business in Barre has been re-
tarded somewhat as work in the quarries

The growing interest in the election of
good men as road commissioners in
each town is one of the hopeful signs
of the year. Men are needed as road
commissioners who not only know how
to build good roads and keep all roads in
the best condition. but who are practical
successful business men as well. The
road commissioner expends the larger

The Waterbury Record does the fair
thing when it points out that this has
been an unusually hard winter for rail
reading and that, instead of the public
indulging in unnecessary criticism, the
management is entitled to credit for

in this mountainous country as well as it
has. Veteran railroad men do not hest

War and fire mean destruction of
values. They wipe out property. They
create and produce nothing. They are
calamities. There is no other way of
looking at them from the economic
standpoint. 1t is true that both have
incidental effects that may be beneficial
Viewed historically, wars have often
been followed by great national advance
movements. They stimulate certain in
dustries. They give an outlet for certain
elements of surplus labor. They produce
changes in national conditions, which
sometimes benefit the world. 1t is too
early yet to estimate accurately what
effect war between Russia and Japan
will have on the United States. But
while it is possible that the war may in
some ways stimulate American in
dustries, and its results forward the
interests of the United States in the
Pacific, yet it means a destruction of
property, and somebody must pay the
cost.

Marcus Alonzo Hanna died at Wash
ington Monday evening, Feb 18th after
a brief illness Of typhoid fever. He was
born at New Lisbon, o., in 1897. He
was educated in the common schools of
Cleveland and at the Western Reserve
college at Hudson O. He started in the
grocery business in a wholesale estab-
lshment of which his father was senior
member, and in 1861 he became menu
Der. of the firm of Rhodes & Co.. engaged
in the iron and coal business. He event
ually gave his name to the firm and
amassed a fortune. He was president
of the Union National bank of Cleve-
land as well as of the Cleveland City
Railway company and of the Chaplin
Mining company. President Cleveland
appointed him government director of
the Union Pacific Railroad company.
Upon the resignation of Senator Sher-
man in 1897 Mr. Hanna was appointed
United States senator. He was elected
in 1898 and reelected few weeks ago.
The Ohio legislative campaign which
preceded his election was stoutly con-
tested. The stumping tours had much
to do with his physical breakdown, and
when attacked with fever he was in no
condition to meet the ordeal.

ELLEN
or
Whisperings of an
Old Pine,

Revised and enlarged. Volume
II. is practically completed, and
will follow within few weeks.
In the Preface the author
says:
The independent positions of the first
edition in regard to the nature of matter,
and the phenomena of sound, light, heat,
electricity, etc, founded upon the uni-
versatility of natural law, have been no
where answered; but, on the contrary,
are being endorsed and accepted by all
of the more advanced physicists and
scientists.
And yet they are entirely revolution
airy. For they demonstrated that the
undulatory theories, taught in every text
book of physics, were absurd and impos-
sible; and that the Newtonian theory of
matter, as expressed, although in har-
mony with mathematics, was, to say the
least, very misleading. The undulatory
theories are still taught in all schools and
colleges, because there is nothing else to
teach; but there is no sensible person
who has kept abreast of recent dis
coveries in cathode and y ray light and
in radium, who does not know that they
are wholly false.
The New York Sun in recent issue
says:
DR. George F. Barker, emeritus profess
sor of physics of the University of Penn
sylvania, who, since Crookes first expert
ments with cathode rays, has made a
thorough study of all known kinds of
radio activity, said to-day that the rays
sent out by the newly discovered ele-
ment radium had already begun to revo-
lutionize the electrical physical, and
chemical sciences. These rays, DIR. Bar
ker said, are composed of a combination
of cathode and Roentgen rays and are
discharged from the radium without cleo
trical assistance. They proved that the
atom of hydrogen was not. as generally
supposed, the smallest particle known to
the material world.
ut is difficult, he said. ''for the ply
sicist, brought up on the ether, light
wave theory, to go back TO the seven
teenth century and discuss Newton's
cOrpusculaf theory; nut that is what we
have to do, for one of the two kinds of
rays thrown off by radium is made up of
corpuscles. You must understand that
this new element radium, is possessed of
many strange properties. Since its dis
covery some three years ago, no particle
of it has failed TO send out its RAYS I'M
aided. The question naturally asked is.
Where, then, does all this energy come
from? Its constant dispersion of rays
seems to destroy the old fundamental
theory of the conservation of energy, and
we have left what seems like perpetual
notion"
