CuriOuslv enough. not one Of the ar
guments advanced by AIr. Taft IN his
speech has been upheld by President
Roosevelt in the numerous interviews
he has had with public men since the
Oklahoma vote. AS the story OF these
interviews passes from one to another
Washington is buzZing with specuia-
ton as to whether the faithful Taft
was not one of those trial balloons sent
out to test the current of popular senti-
ment. II Taft won. the administration
would be in position to back him and
to claim the glory. for all it's officers
were repea ting his argument To the
people of oklahoma. But Taft lost.
Today the distinctly Roosevelt papers
are printing editorials applaudins the
president for repudiating what they
call the conspiracy of federal office
holders to defeat the will Of Oklahoma
people. The Washington Post. for ex-
ample, finds In his action ground for
describing him as the next president.
The Philadelphia North American
thinks that Oklahoma owes its state
hood to Taft. the same Taft that was
sent there Ia fight against 1t. All pa
Ders of the kind that In an earlier adj
ministratiOn were called "cuckOOs" are
applauding Mr.. Roosevelt for doing
what a 10000 majority OF the people
Of the territory asked him to do. The
applause Is sweet to him. but how
must it sound to SECRETARY Taft. who
did only what he was sent to the
southwest to do.

A copy Of the Argus and Patriot o.
Montpelier. date May 10. 1856 contains
an interesting account Of the Growth
Of Barre Village" The article was writ
ten lust at the time when Barre was
getting It's shoves ahead through the
granite boom, and a perusal Of the
things then written now furnish amusing
reading -amusing because o. the change
in the community, like the boy that has
outarown bis short pants and Is now
stretching his spindle-shanks in long
trousers
Some extracts from the article are
herewith presented;
Barre is by no means a new village.
It's foundation was laid nearly century
ago. and until quite recently it slum-
bered along in quiet submissivencss. no
other than small and ordinary farm
ing settlement, until, perhaps, some
twenty years ago il awoke TO the fact
that the hills, some three miles from the
village, were rich in large deposits Of
granite, now worldwide and known as
Barre granite. Although quarries were
developed 1t was done gradually and
with a native slowness, and not until ten
wears ago, when the Central Vermont
railroad built that portion Of the White
River railroad running from Montpelier
to Barre did the town put on metropoli-
tan appearance, and now where the gran.
ito Is converted into monumental and
other purposes is one compact mass Of
buildings. covering an area Of several
acres. The business called for foreign
labor, and workmen were imported from
other states and even countries. This
naturally caused demand for buildings,
but that, too. was comparatively slow
until the past year, when the boom fair
" struck the town in earnest and no vii
lage in the state ever increased in SO
short a period before. II has been indeed
unprecedented, and if there comes no
drawback to prevent its steady onward
march Of progression, Barre can indeed
lay claim for itself the name the banner
town of the state.
Then follows figures to show the
growth Of Barre as measured by erection
of buildings, the estimate being made
that fully $4,000 was put into new
structures in the year.
III connection with the above, sure
indication that Montpelier has shared
this change with Barre is to be found in
the following random item picked from
Montpelier exchange the other day;
joaquin villa, Constantine Riuz, Pab-
10 Revas, Jose Gomez, Gregio Canales
left Tuesday night for their homes in
Spain. where they win spend the win
ter. They are stone cutters
These men might reasonably enough
be called travelling alphabets.
