Social Incident Makes Society Smile

about 1t and in that way his refusal
would come to the ears of Mr.. Taft.
The only thing at all in favor OF the
minister is the fact that there is not
a great deal of diplomatic business to
transact between Norway and the
United States and Mr.. Taft is likely
to be so busy for the first few months
after he goes into Office. that he will
forget there was such a man as GUIDE
or that he ever declined to walk

cannot, because the United States
has no official social functions and
the scuabbles about precedence never
have anything more than an indirect
effect upon diplomatic relations.
The minister created great deal
of talk among the many diplomatic
officials in Washington, not because
he had refused to participate, but be
cause he allowed the hotel manage
ment to know why he refused.
The diplomatic view is that Minis

not recognizing the fact that Mr.. Taft
has a better chance, probably, of be-
coming president of the United States
than any other man, and that in stand

Fair Estimate Of Roosevelt.

The great multitude of the rank and
file of thoughtful voters in this country,
long ago came to the understanding that
Mr.. Roosevelt was not perfect man but
that he was very able, very patriotic,
very high-minded, very courageous,
and a very honest man. and that clear
and distinct differentiation must be made
between regrettable oyer-strenuousness
in personal mannerisms at times and the
accomplishments of the remarkable mind
and character and force of the statesman,
leader and executive behind that compar-
atively trivial fault. The people see plain
ly beyond Rooseyeit's personal shortcom-
ings into the time when the brilliant
page of history that is to be taken up
with his name will bear no trace of those
faults, because they were long before for
gotten. The resctionaries are shortsigh t-
ed when they bear down upon this phase
of the Roosevelt temperament and charac-
ter and seek to turn people against him
because of it. They deceive nobody but
themselves.-St. Adams Messenger.

woman's Body Went Under Car.

Miss Edna Ranslow narrowly escaped

The woman and the child were driving
to Proctor with Ezra Woods, Miss Rams
lows brother-in-law. They stopped at
Rutland market, Mr.. Woods going in
side. The horse was FESTIVE and turned
across the track as a car approached.
When the car struck the sleigh. the wom-
an was thrown heavily, her neck rest
ing across one of the rails and her whole
body being under the car. The fender
passed over her head, cutting the fore
head, breaking her collar bone aud badly
bruising her right hip.
Conductor Patrick keenan, and Motor
man Walter Wands succeeded in quickly
bringing the car to a stop within a few
inches of the woman's neck. She re
tanned consciousness and gave directions
to her rescuers as they lifted the heavy
car and drew her out. She was removed
to the office Of physician nearby and lat
ter was taken to her home. II is believed
she will recover.

THE NEW POSTAL RULING.

fit to extend the same favor to a sub
scriber the postal authorities say no. In
this case it is best to lie the grocer.
-Hardwick Gazette.
Not quite exact The postal suthori-
ties do no.-they cannot-say what cred
it publisher shall extend his patrons.
But they do say-as they have right to
under what conditions publisher
shall be permitted to use Uncle Sans
mails. The publisher may run business
as he pleases, so long as be delivers his
papers in some other way, but when be
seeks the privilege of the mails he must
obey the rules of the service, however ar
bitrary they seem.
In regard to subscription credit, it has
been the recent policy of the department
to limit the low second-class rate to strict
ly bona fide subscription lists, and vari-
Gus rulings have been made shutting out
publications OF a gift nature, or those run
as adjuncts to other enterprises, or for ad-
vertising purposes. 1t is evidently the
opinion of the department that subscrip-
ton lists long overdue are not bona fide,
but are allowed to drift along to initiate
the publishers circulation and enable
him to claim advertising on the strength
OF it. Still further, an endless amount of
trouble is caused the postal department,
| including postmasters and carriers, by
credit lists, when it is a common practice
for people no longer desiring the paper to
refuse it. and it requires successive no.
| tees and much annoyance, sometimes, to
get the paper stopped. AS compared
with the paid-in-advance list, where pa
pers stop of their own accord when the
time is out, the latter are certainly much
less bother, and it is only matter OF
fairness that the department should class
/ ify them on different rating.
The new rule does not attempt all that
some publishers represent that it does.
1t merely says that papers sent more than
year after the subscription has been
paid for shall pay an increased rate of
postage. If the publisher doesn't like
that, he can deliver them by hand, or
send them by express, at twenty-five
cents per copy.

Saturdays Flood osmses.

The sudden thaw and heavy rains, COM
ing at time when the ground vas thick
ly covered with snow and the rivers with
ice, Joined in causing floods OF serious
proportions Saturday in q number oil
plnces in Vermont. Ice going out OF the
river tore away or weakened bridges; rail-
road and trolley lines were blocked by ris-
ing water at many points, ard by huge
cakes OF ice left upon their tracks, and
the damage by the flooding of cellars and
washing cut of streets and highways will
be extensive.
Travel on the Rutland railroad was de-
lsyed five hours by washed out cuivert
near East wallingford, followed by an
other delay OF two hours near the same
place when Mill river overlooked the
track and left immense cakes OF ice on the
rails.
A Jam formed in East creek, near the
house OF correction at Rutland and an
other mass coming down the creek from
Mill village carried the jam out, taking
with il the City park bridge. The West
street bridge was under water for some
time, but withstood the strain. One
abutment OF Doris bridge was cracked,
but the structure stood firm.
Montpelier had an anxious , three
hours Saturday night. The Winooski
river and its branches rose rapidly. About
IL O'Clock an ice jam formed between the
city and Green Mount cemetery, setting
the water back and flooding nearly all
the cellars in the business part of the city
with from one TO three feet of muddy wa
ter. The merchants, who had gone to
their homes, were hurriedly summoned
and they cared a. best they could for
their property which was in imminent
danger OF destruction. the ice gorge
broke shortly after midnight and the wa
tsrs rapidly subsidized.

Easy To Mix.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving a
simple prescription, as formulated by q
noted authority. who claims that he has
found positive remedy to cure almost
any case OF backache or kidney or bladder
arrangement, in the following simple
prescription, il taken before the stage OF
Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in bottle and take
in teaspoonful doses after each meal and
again at bed time.
A well-known druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this prescription,
stated that the ingredients are all harm
less, and can be obtained at small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy, or
the mixture would be put up il asked to
do so. He further stated that while this
prescription is often prescribed in rheu-
matte Affections with splendid results, he
could see no reason why it would not be
a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary
troubles and backache., as it has a pecu-
liar action upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these most important organs
and helping them to sift and filter from
the blood the foul acids and waste matter
which cause sickness and suffering.
Those OF our readers who suffer can make
no mistake IN giving it a trial.

rHAr4,-2 PEA CENT EXEMPTION

Mr. ECltCf:-
The Argus OF Feb. IL, in reporting the
public meeting of the tax commission,
stated that K. NJ. Bacon Of Chelsea adj
vocsted that money at 4 = per cent inter
est should be exempt from taxation.
Now / wish to say, there is no Z. M.
Bacon in Chelsea; that / was the only
man from Chelsea at that meeting; that
did not advocate such an exemption; that
opposed it, and always have, and that l
do not wish to be accused OF advocating
law that so unjustly discriminstes
against heavily taxed town as to doubly
tax many OF the debtors who are justly
taxed under the present law and make
the creditors pay all the taxes of many Of
the taxpayers OF q wealthy and lightly
taxed town, besides giving them ten dol
lars in money over and above the cost OF
all their taxes, when both taxpayers own
the same amount of property, are both
owing the same amount Of Debts and pos
sibly live side by side, only in different
towns or districts.
In proof that such plan as the Argus
accuses me of advocating will thus dis
criminate and upset the whole cquiiib-
rum of taxation, by an upward and
downward sliding scale, l offer the toll
lowing abstract OF four taxpayers of Ran
dolpb, whose tax rate is about 81 on tie
81, and the same number OF taxpayers
with the same kind of property ana same
amount, living in Chelsea, where the tax
rate is s2 on the dollar, all paying just
tax under the present lsw, anu ala worth

Vermont Press for Hughes.

Summing up the editorial attitude of
the state in the Taft-Hughes controversy,
the Burlington Free Press finds the St.
Adams Messenger, the Bellows Falls
Times, the st. Johns bury Republican and
possibly the Bennington Banner for
Taft. As to the latter, the article says:
sThe editor of the Bennington Banner,
who is inclined toward Taft, believes
sentiment in his county is two to one in
favor of Hughes, and Editor Bennett Of
the Manchester Journal. who is for
Hughes, agrees with him.
The Brattleboro Reformer is strongly
for Hughes. The Brattleboro Phoenix
has taken pronounced position in favor
OF the nomination of Hughes, and its
strong editorials have marked influence
throughout its large field in southeastern
Vermont.
Monitor, the Essex County Herald, the
Ludlow Tribune and others on the East
side are for Hughes and the position of
the Lyndonville Union-Journal is
shown by recent strong Hughes edito-
rial.
The Barre Times, the Montpelier
Journal, the Morrisville News and Citi-
zen and the Morrisville Messenger, both
of the daily newspapers in Burlington,
and the Essex syndicate are for Hughes,
while in Addison county the Vergennes
Enterprise and the Bristol Herald are for
the progressive governor of our neighbor-
ing state.
Both of the daily newspapers in Rut-
land are in favor of the nomination Of
Hughes, as are the Poultney Journal and
Fair Haven Era.
OF course, the editors of the state do
not elect the delegates, but it looks as if
the state today were certainly better

My attention has been called to re-

lating to my attitude regarding Secretary
Taft as a presidential candidate. Your
article was evidently written under mis-
apprehension, as will appear plainly to
you upon reading the enclosed clipping
from very recent number Of the Man.
chester On. H. Union. I have never for
a moment doubted that Secretary Taft is
the ablest and greatest man available for
the presidency and likewise the candidate
by far the most likely of all to receive the
nomination. have hopes that the
sound sense of our Vermont people will
concur in this opinion and send to the
convention an uninstructed delegation,
but one that will not be unfriendly to
making the great secretary our standard
bearer.
