The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1910-10-10
ON THE FENCE.

Massachusetts district was renominated
recently, but there seems to be quite q
sizeable dissatisfaction with him, since
w II. Felker, called an inferior" man
by the Greenfield Gazette, was able to
get 80 votes against Mr. Gillett's "a in
the convention. The Gazette lays it
largely to distrust of Congressman Gill
lett's attitude on the speakership ques-
ton, although, in his speech of accept
ance, he stated he was against the pres.
ent incumbent of the speakers chair,
zone gets Inc impression that at heart
he is not DESTROYS of change" as the
contemporary puts it. If the Greenfield
paper has analysed the situation aecu-
rately, there is little wonder that tae
second district convention did not give
him stronger endorsement for re.elec-
ton, and the social butterfly may find
himself hard pressed for reelection.

Frederick NJ Mansfield of Boston must
be good-natured kindlydisposed, self
sacrificing individual to allow himself to
be used as "stop-gap" candidate for
governor by the Democratic state con-
vention, with the understanding that he
is to be showed aside just as soon as the
warning forces can find a more suitable
candidate. Mr.. Mansfield can at least
announce to the youth in coming years
that he was once the nominee of the
Democrats for governor, whatever sat
lsfaction there may be in such a hollow
honor when the conditions OF the nomi-
nation are givelt Mr. Mansfield is a
good party goat, and he deserves to get
the final nomination.

Abolish the Governors STAT.

If there ever was an absurdity in leg
islation affecting military affairs, it is
the Vermont act recognizing the gov
errors staff and creating rank for civil
iah appointees higher than that enjoyed
by men detailed from actual service in
the militia. The governors staff idea,
50 long continued in Vermont and else
where, is simply fareical hold over
from foodwood militia days, at best.
Why does not Vermont take the com
mon sense view Of practical things of
this twentieth century and abolish the
whole business? And then, when the
governor and commander in-chief mas to
appear somewhere on occasions Of eere-
mony, let detail be made from the
officers Of the line or the staff in the
regularly constituted militia, to accom-.
pany himf This detail can be made

vERMONT'S CITIES GROWTH IN

While gain OF p per cent in popu-

average in New England and far in adj
vance OF the rate for Vermont it is
nevertheless not quite as large as Barre
people expected their city to make in
the census returns of 1910 An increase
from2 s,44s to 1900 in Vermont is
large, but it is not as large as it might
have been under more favorable condi,
tions at the time the enumerators made
their rounds Of the city. The stated
time for the gathering Of the statistics
came just when disastrous industrial
dispute in the granite business was set
tied and before the city had recovered
from the stunning effects of the long
trouble. During the suspension in the
granite industry, a great many work
men left Barre, as, indeed, they left
every community which was affected BY
the suspension, and they had not re-
turned to the communities when the CEN
sus was taken Therefore, the enumera-
ton was much smaller than it would
have been six months later or at the
present time. Barre stin remains as the
third city Of Vermont, being next to
Rutland, which gained is per cent. in
the period, and second TO Burlington,
which gained lG per cent during the
same time There is one reason, and
the chief orc, why Barrc's gain in popu-
lation figures do not show as much as
hoped for. There are perhaps other
