American Men

The statement of Gertrude Ather-
ton that American men are immeasur-
ably below titled foreigners seems to
resolve itself into a matter Of diff
ference "in the art of making love-"
English noblemen have much more
subtlety in making love; more flnesse,"
she says and then settles back In the
full belief that the whole matter Is de-
cided. Mrs. Atherton has carried out
this idea In a novel sne has written
and has produced hero after her
own heart. Superior to the Ameri-
can man, by the way, is this hero, and
he will neither work for living, pay
his debts nor remain true to his beau
tiful American wife. Yet he is the hero.
What constitutes superiority and
nobility? Is 1t proficiency in the sub
tie art of making love, running in debt
and marrying for money? Or is nobility
a matter of heart, manhood, sterling
qualities of honesty and industry, and
a sense of honor as enduring as the
hills? 1t may be that the American
idea of what constitutes nobility is
prevented because of our democratic
ideas, but IL so, then let 1t be so. For the
true American man stands erect In the
majesty of true manhood and looks
the world squarely in the eye. He can
be depended upon for fibre and sinew
of body, brain and soul and he ac-
knowledges the sovereignty of human
ity. He is prince in the simplicity
Of his manly honor, he can be de-
pended upon for constancy in love and
in patriotism, in prosperity and in ad-
veFsity. Let the foreign nobleman be
superior in subtlety and finesse, but
the true American woman will con-
tinue to prefer the true American be-
cause he is a man.

Inmates, as they change from day

Mr.. Fleetwood on Thursday claim
ed he would have 80 delegates,
but there Is no real basis for his
confidence, in view of the returns,
and incomplete figures obtained by
the Burlington Free Press the same
day verify to a certain extent the
estimates of the Mead headquarters.
The reason for this belief is that the
Free Press was obliged by its own
canvass, to concede DR.. Mead 3O1
delegates in order to be on the safe
side, while allowing 22O to Mr..
Fleetwood.
It's to be presumed that the Mead
bureaus canvass is more accurate
than that of the Free Press, and its
information, coming from more
than one source in each town. must
be regarded as specific. Blanks
were sent by the Mead bureau to
men in each town, and in some
places they were filled out by several
persons, in order that accurate in
formation might be obtained. The
blanks,as returned, show the pledged
delegates, those unpledged, and the
preference of the latter, so far as
1t could be ascertained. This meth
cd, we should say, enables the bur
eau to arrive at almost positive
conclusions.
1t will be noted that the Free
Press estimates are based on what
that paper is able to learn regarding
the preference of various unpledged
delegates. That paper on Thurs
day gave Batchelder so, Hapgood
three and Gates six delegates, with
81 unheard from. Admitting, for,
instance, that some of those un-
heard from by the Free Press are
among the ones whose sentiments
have been learned through the Mead
bureau canvass, the Free Press
figures would be raised considerably.
In the Free Press canvass we see
guess-work, while in that of the
Mead bureau there is an accurate
method of judging results. Unless
the now improbable happens, DR..
Mead will be nominated on the first
ballot-Rutland Herald.

Tuesday, June 18th. He was 80
years old and this was his first i'll
ness in 80 years. Mr.. Mutt was a
aXemaker by trade and invented
machinery that replaced the old
method of forging axes by hand.
He was born in Trenton, \. J.,
and lived for many years in John
sonville, n. Y, and in Brookville,
Vt. When 60 years of age he re-
tired from business and bought a
large estate in Bristol, where he
devoted much of his time to raising
prize live stock. For several years
he had been spending the winters
with his son in Medford. Mr..
Mutt leaves a daughter, Mrs. Will
liam Ross of Cohoes, n. Y. and
another son, George, of Waterbury,
Vt.
President Daniel R. Sortwell of
the Montpelier & Wells River has
issued a statement announcing the
appointment of F W. Stanyan as
general manager of the railroad
with Office at Montpelier, vice W.
A. Stowell, who has resigned to take
effect on July |, 1910, on which
date Mr.. Stanyan will assume the
position. On that date the office
of general superintendent, now filled
by Mr.. Stanyan, will be abolished,
and heads of departments now re-
porting to the general superintend-
ent will thereafter report directly
to, and be governed by, the orders
of the general manager.
Mr.. Stowell has been connected
with the railroad since it was started
or SO years and eight months, be-
ginning as acting superintendent.
His duties date from September Is,
1873, and it was on November 4,
1873, that a train was run over the
completed line From that time
he worked up to superintendent
and then general manager. Mr..
Stowell will be 70 years of age on
his next birthday, which is Satur-
day, June %.
The new general manager has
been with the Sortwell family in
the railroad business for many
years, having been connected with
the Barre railroad, as well as the
Montpelier d Wells River railroad,
so that he will assume his new
position with familiarity with the
details of the administration.

hammers may be used out of doors,
by the agreement, but the manu-
facturers have decided to abandon
them entirely until a dustless tool
is devised.
The Middlebury selectmen have
called a special town meeting for
Saturday, June %, to vote on an
appropriation for the highways to
the amount of $500. At the annual
meeting in March, Col. Joseph
Battell offered to pay $500 if the
town would not accept state aid
to that amount and his proposition
was accepted. 1t now appears that
there was nothing in the call for
the annual meeting warranting the
expenditure of money coming in
this way and a special meeting is
called with a proper article in the
warning to remedy this defect.
The case of Smith, Whitcomb &
Cook against the City of Barre,
which with companion cases has
been on the Washington County
Court docket for many years, has
been settled by the City of Barre,
paying $4,000 to the plaintiff COM
pany.
The question whether or not the
city had the right to sell its water
to supply steam boilers and to run
polishing wheels and grindstones
was involved Several injunctions
that were involved in this suit are
dissolved by the settlement and by
it the City of Barre disposed of the
last of pending litigation on water
cases.
Patrons of dining and buffet
cars will be interested in a novel

wealthy New Yorker, for $1,000

her on buffet train. She says her
health has not been good since.
Raymond Palmer, a st. Adams
who sold the sausage,
testified that he had never before
heard complaint and that it was
inspected. The jury,
however, decided there was no
cause of action and the case was
dismissed.
James d. Mutt, one of the oldest
residents of Medford, died at the
