Or. Mead Not a Leader

In answer to the bristling but silly
claims of the Barton Monitor that DR..
Mead has been a progressive leader
in the legislature, the st. Johnsbury
Caledonian puts this squelcher onto
the over-enthusiastic Barton friend:
Having had charge of the publica-
ton of a full report Of the proceed
ings of the Vermont legislature for
over a decade, the editor of the Gale
DOMAIN again asserts that Lieut.. Gov.
John A. Mead is not and never has
been recognized by the law makers
as a leader or strong influence in the
constructive legislation Of this state,
This statement is made notwithstand-
ing che claim that he originated and
fostered the weekly payment law.
viii those Of the audience who real
lied at the time that DR.. Mead was
such leader please raise their
hands
Not a single hand has gone up as
yet. nobody even tries to look wise
on the subject while saying nothing.

FOR SOBER ENGINEERS
Result of Inhexible Rules Against
 Drunkenness

From the Century Magazine.
 It is safe to say that no other union, club or organization of any sort applies quite such heroic treatment to undesir- able citizens as the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers. One thing that the brotherhood most strenously insists upon Is that its members shall not drink Thirty-five members were expelled for getting drunk in 1909, and their shame was publicly proclaimed In the journal. The treatment does not stop here, by any means. The brotherhood will not risk the lives of its mem bers and the general public by per hitting drinking man to run an engine. When a man has been duly convicted of drinking, and punished according to the laws of the order. the facts are laid be- fore the proper authorities on the road that employs him, and his discharge is demanded. In one notable instance the engineer of a fast train got drunk dur ing his lay-over and disgraced himself. He was tried, convicted and expelled, the management was informed, and the of lenders discharge requested In regular form. But as the engineer had been a good man. the railroad company de- murred saying that he had not been drunk while on duty.
 But" said the brotherhood, there is no telling when man who gets drunk off duty may take notion to get drunk on duty; and we do not intend to take any chances on having a drunken man tearing through the country at 60 miles an hour, endangering the lives of others. It is unfair both to the employees in your service and to your patrons"
 The culprit was discharged. He can never be employed on railroad again.

Washington, September 3-(Special)- Early predictions have it that the coming social season in Washington will be one of the most brilliant in the history of re- cent administrations. It Is believed that Miss Helen Taft will make her debut in society although she has not finished her educational career at Bryn Mawr yet.
 One interesting story which have heard of late is to the effect that it will be ''bachelor season." There are number of prominent bachelors in official life here, as l have had occasion to remark in the past.
 If the matrons of society plan to carry the season through to the merry and con- tinuous tintinnabulations of marriage bells they have undertaken a large task.
 And when such names as Frank Hitch cock, Postmaster General of the United States; John Barrett, director of the inter national bureau of American republics; Capt. Archie B ptt aide to the President; Prince Nicholas Koudacheff, first secre- tary of the Russian embassy; Viscount de Ate, Portugese minister Count d'Adhe- mar prominent automobilist, and others of like rank are mentioned the file of bachelors betakes official if not inter- national proportions, and the game as- Bumes corresponding importance.
 What can be done for them is the question matrons have asked themselves for some time but will hereafter ask each other AS bachelors they are treas- ures, these men, social leaders declare. They are indispensable and the name of any of them will be found on every party list worth notice But the capitals ma irons have decided that as benedicts they may be even better
 Whether these gentlemen will select wives from the host of beautiful and tal- ented Washington girls, or whether they will go outside of the city for their life partners seems to puzzle those interested In the outcome of their future. For ru- mor has connected most of the names mentioned with other names. Postmaster General Hitchcock has been credited with an engagement to Mrs. Stickney, rich widow living in London. MT Barrett is some of those who know him well say-in the midst of a heart mystery involving . beautiful young girl of Bogota, whom he met while he was United States min fAAer to Colombia. Captain Butts name has been linked with that of Miss Yvonne Townsend daughter of MT. Lawrence Townsend former United States minister to Belgium. Miss Townsend has also been ppoken of as the girl with whom King Manuel of Portugal is<dn love.

SOCIETY IN WASHINGTON
BY CoNsTANC E CARRUTHERs

Viscount de Ate has been in Washing ton eight years. He has remained bach elor for longer continuous period than this city.
 Helen Taft has set the fashion for so- ciety girls in her recent ardent devo- tion to horseback riding. Miss Taft is an expert equestrlenne and her favorite saddle horse, Achilles, is beautiful ami maj, powerful and fleet, yet as gentle as a kitten.
 Horseback riding has always had many devotees among society girls here. Alice Longworth and Miss Katherine Elkins are expert riders and maintain stables here in season.
 Society has been deeply interested in the selection of permanent homes by the two new justices of the supreme court of the United States, MT. Justice Lurton of Tennessee and MT. Justice Hughes now governor of New York The former succeeded the late MT. Justice Brewer
 Governor Hughes was the first to find home and has chosen the mansion at the corner of Massachusetts avenue and Twenty-fourth street owned and former ly occupied by MT. and Mrs. Andrew Boyd. It is located immediately west Of the newts Fashionable district, Sher- idan Circle. around which millions of dollars worth of homes are centered The Hughes residence is a roomy, three- story brick, with deep basement and large grounds. The rooms are large and spacious, with plenty of sunlight and air
 The Hughes family required a particu- larly large library and large grounds for their own comfort and needs, and then for the sake of the entertaining they feel obliged to go through with during the season they need a large drawing room and dining room, all of which things they have in this new home They will come here about the last week in September and take possession of their home October 1. They have leased it for a term of years, with the privilege of buying
 MT. Justice and Mrs. I4urton, who are spending the summer at Virginia Hot Springs, have chosen a house on I street, quite downtown. for their Washington home. It Is 1721 I street, and is the former home of MT. and Mrs. Edward M. Padelford of England, New York and Washington. Of late years MT. and Mrs. Padeford have spent Sp little time in Washington that there has been no use in having a home here. The Lurtons have leased this for several years. It is plain house, and not very large, but is most delightfully."- located in shaded,

Few people in this part of the world know that Portland, Ore, is the second largest wheat shipping point in the world" said Ben Berger of that city
 Business is fairly humping itself The farms out there are producing fine crops of wheat, and the farmers are prosper ous. I will tell you another thing. Port land is now a modern city of sky-scrap- CTS. wide paved streets, one of the finest street car systems in America, and IS right in the front along all modern city improvements. Portland has about So'Ooo people,>who enjoy one of the finest clim- ates on the North American coast. You may not believe it, but in New York the other day I paid 30 cents apiece for the famous Hood River (Oregon) apples. These apples are among the largest and finest raised in this country, and they are such a curiosity in New York that that is the price they bring there regu- larly. Portland is also known as the Rose City, on account of the great abundance of beautiful roses raised there. During the month of June the famous rose carnivals are held.'
 ''The sheep men are slowly but surely driving the cattle men from the free ranges in the northwest. If man would run a cattle ranch successfully these days he must have his own grazing ground The Montana ranges are being denuded of longhorn grass by the sheep herds" This was the statement of John ston G. Raymond of Butte.

exclusive street, peopled with some of the members of the smartest social sets in the city.
 Many old residents have kept their old-fashoned, spacious homes intact in this block in spite of the encroach ments of the business and the great apartment houses all about them. The old home of former Senator Henry Cas- saway Davis is just opposite, and the present home of MT. Justice and Mrs. Oliver Wendell Holmes is also nearby.
 The government junketings will close this year with the presidential trip to Panama. It has been stated that President Taft will\not make this trip, but 1t is believed here that the report was not authoritative. This will fol- low closely upon the return of the President and Mrs. Taft to the White House, and indeed if the weather re- mains good, they may not even return here before starting for the baby re- public. However 1t grows cold and bleak on the Massachusetts coast many weeks before our balmy days have passed in Washington and the pres idential family will hie them back to the White House with the first of the former
 According to the plans now made, President and Mrs. Taft, with a party of friends and escorts, will go down the Potomac on the Mayfower to Nor folk, where they will board one Of the battleships near the capes and with a proper escort will spend the greater part of three. weeks on the craft. The start will be made imm mediately after he fall elections, the returns from which, it Is said, the President will near with trunks packed and grip in hand
 He is particularly interested in the completion of the great canal and re- gards it in many ways as the most important accomplishment of his ad- ministration. The members of the party to accompany them have not yet been announced by President and Mrs. Taft, but 1t is safe to say it will be an interesting one and without doubt will include Capt. Archie Butt.
 By the time President and Mrs. Taft start on their trip to Panama where, by the way, they will De entertained by Colonel and Mrs. Goethals and Colonel and Mrs. Gorgas while on the isthmus, the Secretary of War and Mrs. Dickinson and their congenial party and Attorney General Wicker sham and the Secretary of Commerce and Labor.
