The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1910-11-18

The ease and social delights of Wash
ington sap his energies, OF late years
also, the Senate has been looked upon
as an honorable place of retirement for
old gentlemen who have made money
in business and wish to enjoy comfort
able and distinguished old age. But the
insurgents almost without exception are
hard workers, succeeding by the ancient
and honorable method of burning mid
night oil and by sacrificing many
of the pleasanter features of public
life. LaFollette can toll terribly, and
there were times when Bristow, after the
Senate adjourned worked until long aft
er midnight, to arise at five or six o'clock
in the morning and work until the SEN
ate sat again, The work which Dolliyer
gave to the tariff question and Cummins
to the railroad bill was enormous,
"All these great economic problems OF
the trusts, the currency, the railroads,
the tarif-with the fundamental princi-
places underlying them--haye crowded
swiftly in recent years upon legislative
bodies already overloaded with routine
affairs, appropriations and local demands.
Few men, and especially few men beyond
fifty years old, as many of these men
are, possess the courage OF toll to become
experts in these new questions, 1t Is
far easier--and far more proftable-to
accept the ready secret help of the sps
cial interests which are to be benefited
by the legislation proposed. Dolliver
showed by deadly parallel columns how
Aldrich and his committee Of 'languid
disciples as he called them, accepted
almost verbatim paragraphs for the tar
if bin drawn by the protected interests
Of New England. The railroad interests
were always at the elbows of their
friends in the Senate and House with
expert assistance, with unlimited sta
tistics, with the highest paid legal adj
vice,
"It can be imagined, then, how a man
who would espouse the cause Of the peo.
pie against the powers of wealth and
privilege must toll to prepare himself.
He must not only meet the opposing ser.
ators, strongly entrenched in their old
organizations, but he must go against a
regiment of experts In the Hobbies. And
what knowledge he gets, he must get for
himself"

the development is still in progress.
Aroostook county, where the potatoes
come from, and which besides has great
forest possibilities, is to be credited
with practically one-third Of the in

past decade, and but a fraction of Aroo-

Names increase in population has for
so long been steady rather than rapid

was once a boom state. Between 1880
ard 1910, the population gained 100000;
in the next decade $1,000 Not until
the census Of 1870 was its increase
checked, though the rate was falling.
In that year Maine woke to the I'M
pleasant consciousness that it had lost

less than 1000. In the past thirty years
the progress has carried it from GAS,

Prophesies New Era for the Drama in
American.

"0ur New Generation of Dramatists"
is the title of Walter Priohard EatOnis
article in the November American Mag
azine, in the Introductory paragraphs Of
which he says:-
Gone Of the most significant OF the
changes which have taken place in the
American theatre during the past two
decades is the shift of ratio between ma
tive and foreign drama. As late as ten
years ago, considerably more than so per
cent OF the plays produced in New York
during a season were of foreign author
ship. But for several seasons now, ma
tive plays have been in the majority,
latterly nearly rs per cent. of the new
works being the product of American au-
thors, and more or less concerned with
American conditions. Moreover, ma
iority of the most popular plays have
been among these native works.
This change is significant because it
shows that we are coming to have a
drama Of our own and one which inter-
ests us and makes our stage seem more
important and worthy of serious consid-
Grafton"
In a sense, even a moderately skillful
native play, provided it is written with
sincerity and truth, has more value to
us than the finest of foreign work, be-
cause it has tingle of reality about it
which makes the stage seem suddenly
more important, more part of our lives,
not mere sport of listless hours or a
narrowly esthetic satisfaction. The only
reason for desiring native drama is
that the stage may be made more pc.
tent for the rational amusement and the
instruction and service of the commun-
ity. 1t can best serve us, of course, by
setting before us the problems Of our
own lives, But it can most nationally
amuse us, also, when it has some con.
nection with our own lives The growth
of native drama means the increased
usefulness and charm Of the stage

Tackled the Wrong Man.

There came into the Office of Clement
j. Driseoll, commissioner of weights and
measures in New York City, the other
day a dapper salesman with brand-new
scale from Toledo It's the honestest
thing out he acclaimed as he set it up
for inspection. Large dial so the Gus
toner can see the exact weight. Magni-
flying glass and mirror so the compute.
tion win be always in sight, and the
machinery locked away in a sealed case
Except the tare beam, quickly added
Commissioner Driscoll, and that's right
on the job for the storekeeper. And
here's how you teach 'em to work it.
Driscol pulled off his coat, and a slight
flush passed over the salesman's face. He
laid the coat on the scales, weighed it
honestly, and then let weight in one
pocket drop down to the tare beam,
which bucked the weight nearly three
pounds BY this time the salesman's
face was purple, Driscoll took from
drawer in his desk twenty little bags
filled with shot, One by one he tossed
them on the scales and at II cents per
pound the twenty of them were worth
Sl.36 weighed separately But thrown
on altogether they weighed to a value
of only 1928.
"And when you're selling this scale
you tell 'em it throws all the marginal
half ounces to the house. Driscoll ham,
mered pitilessly into his visitor, "and
YOU tell 'em it'll save EN- a full dollar
a day in velvet
Now this city pays $4,000 a year to
teach merchants to be honest. and your
company pays you $4,000 a wear or
even more to teach EN- to be dishonest
You can go to your company and tell
em the games up
The salesman was making for the
door. Driscoll was all smiles.
TtThose little shotted bags, he said
as the door clicked were that salesman's
own goods And that coat trick learned
from him also. Last week two Of my
men chartered a little grocery store fol

snodgrass-the Star of the Giants.

Hugh S. Fullerton's baseball eontribu-
ton to the November American Maya
zine has to deal with the new stars OF
the season of 1910 and Of how they were
discovered. OF the star "fnd" OF the
Giants, he says;-
Possibly the best type Of the player
who sits on the bench season after sea.
son, learning and improving, until the
knock Of opportunity browns all others
knocks, is found in Snodgrass, the New
York Giant, whose work this season has
been one of the sensations of the Ma.
tional league. Snodgrass thought he
was catcher, and be was fair one.
For three seasons he was held on Me-
Graw's bench, with scarcely chance to
show whether or not he was good
player. McGraw thought Snodgrass was
good batter, but had so little faith III
his ability as a catcher he scarcely all
lowed him a chance to work, except to
warm up pitchers before game. Hay-
ing little else to do, Snodgrass began
catching flies in the outfeld and before
long he began to show promise Then
when a famine Of outfelders came Me-
Graw sent the big, boyish-looking catch
er out to Gil the gap. snodgrass had
watched others for long time, and had
studied and worried and thought out
plays, had learned the tricks Of pitchers
and when he got his chance he improved
it. His knowledge of pitchers, gained
while studying the art Of catching, aided
him in batting and from the start he
began to hammer the ball hard. Besides,
he knew where to play for batters, which
aided him in overcoming his natural fail
ings as an outfelder, and he made good
with a vengeance going straight to the
front rank of the batters and remaining
there an season.

ENCOURAGING NEW HOTELS

Vermont would do exceedingly well to
encourage the building Of new hotels for
city guests among her splendid hills and
along the shores of the magnificent lakes
within the borders of the state Towns
might be allowed to take options on land
suitable for summer hotels and even pur-
chase and give the land for hotel pT-
poses if the voters SO designated or con,
tribute in any other reasonable way to
secure such institutions.
The state would also be warranted in
helping, through its proposed advertising
bureau, to find party who wished to
invest the capital for hotel building
after the town had done its share. In
fact, the town and state could pun TO-
gether in encouraging the summer visitor
business.
The absurdity, however, Of providing
for the exemption from taxation Of new
hotel property to be used for the gen,
eraI travelling public in thriving towns
is so apparent that measures Of that
kind ought not to consume much of the
time Of the legislature, A hotel indus
try" Of this kind should not be confused
with an actual industry which, for in.
stance, employs help to manufacture
raw material into a finished aud market
able product. In other words, an actual
industry such as is now permitted TO be
exempted from taxation is in an entirely
different class from a hotel, built and
opened to the travelling public in eompe-
tition with other similar establishments

A Presidential Possibility.

There is Democratic presidential pos
sibility that has been overlooked by the
ticket makers of the East that is the
governor Of North Dakota John Burke,
who has just been elected for a third
time in that stalwart Republican state.
Voting for John Burke has become a sort
OF mania for the Republicans of North
Dakota, and no matter how good can
didate the Republicans put up against
Burke the latter is always sure to win.
This time they thought they had made
sure, but in spite of the fact that the
Republicans nominated a Scandinavian
the Seandinavians seem TO have voted
for the Irishman, showing a commend
able lack of racial bias not as common
as it ought to be. Mr.. Burke is a lawyer
in the northern part Of the state, who
has made an excellent reputation as a
lawyer, but il is as a strong speaker
and popular man that he has won. He
has been a member of the legislature
and has occupied ether minor offices, and,
it is said, has never been defeated az
the polls.--Boston Transcript.
