Are We Old at Forty7

There is no fact more striking than
the way modern life Is pushing bach
the period OF old age. says a writer
in the September Strand Magazine.
Less than q century ago man was
old at 40. You have only to pick up
Jane Austens novels to find gentle
men of 30 described as middle-aged.
At 60 they were Cabling In their do
tage. And there is Mr.. Pickwick-
that dear, delightful, benevolent old
gentleman of 10!
Fifty years ago, when man
reached the age OF 40 he grew n beard
under his chin, bought himself pair
OF drab CATERS and white neckcloth,
and spoke with anxious concern OF
the rising generation, whose manners
we're so different from those he had
known as q young man. Nowadays
the popular notion OF Irresponsible
lrrepressible youth is illustrated by
Colonel Roosevelt. who Is 80. In our
generation 30 Is outwardly indistine.

RepublIcans Should Get rOaether

If there was ever a time when the
republicans OF the Green Mountain
state and of every town in the state
needed to get together now is that
time. We are facing the shortest
campaign on record. Two weeks
from next Tuesday Vermont will re-
cord its verdict In relation to the
party's national record through the
vote for representatives in Congress
as well as vote for state and local Of
ficers and the chances are that the
greatest danger confronting the party
will be a tendency of voters to remain
away from the polls.
While voters may not be satisfied
with this candidate or that, this fact
furnishes no good reason why people
should remain away from the polls
altogether. The duty OF the repubh'
cans of Vermont is to get together
and make the best OF the situation
according to their conscientious
views and in any event yote.-Bur

Mr.. George C. Bolda, proprietor OF
the Waldorf-Astoria, after an exteno-
ed tour of the White Mountains and
the Berkshires by motor car, re-
marks upon the vast Improvement
in the hotels he finds in New HamIr
shire, Vermont and Massachusetts,
which he attributes directly to the
automobile. With trunk-line high
ways running lengthwise of the
state and well-kept laterals gridiron-
ing it, the number Of good inns will
increase rather than diminish, bur
there must be a widely spread known
edge among those likely to make
tours that they can be accommu-
dated with all reasonable food ana
refreshment in our state RUTLAND
Herald.
The building of trunk line highways
through Vermont will do more for the
development of the state than any
other one thing for summer traffic
follows good roads wherever possible.
Not only would they result in build
! ing new hotels, but they would great
ly improve the hotels now doing bust
ness. Some of the best hotel stands
in the country are in small towns
where the landlord has built up d
reputation Nowadays with summer
travel mostly coming by automobile
the hotel in the small town has equa
chances with his large town neighbour
if he will furnish the kind of service
that the trade calls for. Let the STATE
do its part this coming fall and us'
the available income of the state II

years the summer trade and hote
business in Vermont will increase ST.

garden produce will multiply accord

building of these state roads. Simp

Engineers of the Central Vermont
railway will receive an increase in
wages averaging 20 per cent as re-
suit OF an agreement Just signed by
officials of the company and represent
atiyes OF the brotherhood OF locomo-
tive engineers. A short time before
the recent strike of trainmen and
yardmen on the road, the enginemen
filed demands for a new wage sched

enforce the demands. After the
strike was ended. conferences were
held between railroad officials and
brotherhood leaders resulting In the
adoption of the new schedule
Most OF the yardmen who participa
ted In the strike have been given
their old positions but with the train
men the process is slower. Many
men were hired permanently as con

been given his old run. and many o

BILLY" DoDn A GOOD SPORT.
Always Has a Team in Bowling and
Baseball League at Spokane.

1t would be a hard matter to deter
mine whether "Billy' Dodd of Spokane
is best known, in the city of his resi-
dence and throughout the Inland EN-
pire, as "Billy" Dodd, president of
the Dodd Clothing company, or as
"Billy" Dodd, friend and patron of
all clean, legitimate sports. For in
stance, it is pretty generally known
through the clothing trade of the north
west that he is a pioneer in the bust
ness, and was, long before he moved
his big gents furnishing store from
the northeast corner of Riverside ave-
nue. and Post street to the southwest
intersection of those two busy thorough
fares of Spokane. He is agent for the
famous "Gordon" hat.
In Spokane he has been known for
the last twenty years as booster for
the metropolis of the Inland Empire,
member of all the commercial organ
izations and a man of high civic as well
as business ideals. The same policy
that keeps his attention constantly de-
voted, apparently, to his business, has
kept him in touch with every move
ment for municipal reform or for the
exploitation of the gigantic resources
and industries of the Inland Empire.
But there is another side to "Billy'
Dodd-a side which men who do not
excel him in business ability or in
patriotism do not know so well as do
the baseball fans, or the bowling alley
enthusiasts. These latter will say that
! it was the elimination of "Billy 's'
career when, about four years ago, he
put the Dodd Clothing company's base
ball team in the City league at Spo-
kane. And men who don It know the
u1bane merchant in his big store watch
eagerly for the appearance of his team
in the tournaments of the Spokane City
Bowling league each winter. And so
does "Billy" Dodd. He watches the
two teams with all the eagerness of a
boy, and is proud of them and their
triumphs, or depressed at reverses, just
as though he had not put over score
of years into the strenuous business
life of the Inland Empire. Those years
do not seem to have taken much out
of him.
The Dodd Clothing company will have
a team this year in the Spokane City
league.
The Dodd blood is apparently inocu-
lated with the baseball germ. Ralph
Dodd, youngest brother of the cloth
ing man, is known over the country as
one of the best amateur baseball UNI
pires in the northwest, an umpire the
honesty of whose decisions is never
questioned and whose services are
sought by all the amateur games of
the Inland Empire.

shuberts Transfer Theater, Spokane.

Another link in the Morris chain of
theaters from coast to coast has been
welded with the securing in New York
of a 2O-year lease by the vaudeville
king on the theater which is now build
ing in Spokane, and which was de-
signed originally for the Shuberts.
AS soon as the new theater is com
pleted the Morris lease becomes effect
i've, and the house will be opened at
once to the public. 1t is the hope of
the builders to have the place ready fol-
occupancy by June 1.
Charles II. Muehlman will represent
Morris in Spokane and will manage his
theater. He says:
"Our building will be absolutely fire
proof, will seat 1000 and will be with
out exception the finest on the Pacific
coast. 1t will have a capacity fol
handling any show in the country. TIT
house is to be an exact duplicate of thu
new Maxine Elliott theater in Ney

FARMING SPECIAL
is SLATED FOR A
NORTHWEST TOUR
Educational Train to Course Through
States Of Dakota, Montana and
Washington.

Officials of the Nortnern Pacific, be-
lieving an educational train will be of
great benefit to the farmers of
the northwest, will start a train of
eight cars from st. Paul early in June,
to be known as the Farming Special, ]"
and will run the train over their lines
in North Dakota, Montana and Wash
ington.
The train will carry latest improved
farm machinery, seeds and live stock,
and a coach will be reserved for men,
bers of the party. A lecture car will
also be provided.
The train will be under the direct
supervision of the heads of the various
agricultural colleges in the different
states through which the special will

of the special is to help those who are
so isolated as to make it practically
impossible for them to attend a farm
ers' institute.
