ing:
According to the wireless service
of The Rutland News, Charles Downer
of Sharon, is to manage A. M. Fletcher's
guberuatorial campaign. The same
wireless, has it that Charles A. Plumley
is to be the next representative from

"The above may be supplemented by
the statement that in the event of the

The BuekHunt Timber LANDS
and Mills Offered
For Sale


In order to close the Mudgett estate,
what is known as the Buck-Hunt Mills
aud timber lands are now offered Tor
sale. They consist of saving and dress
ing mills, and three to four thousand
acres of timbered land, several hundred
acres Of which are heavily covered with
old growth virgin spruce.
This is a very fine property for some
enterprising concern to take up. The
lands nearly all slope down towards the
mills, which are situated upon the
estate, and alongside the property runs
the st. Johnsbury and Lake ChamPlain
branch of the Boston & Maiue Railroad,
the mills being on private siding.
The mills have been recently enlarged
by the addition of a commodious dry
kiln, equipped with an up-to-date'
latest style Sturtevant blower. A new
Berlin hardwood flooring machine has
been added to the equipment.
We understand that the property will
be sold oil the basis of $500 for the
hardwood and s4.00 for the spruce
stumpage, and that two other large tim
Der properties in this country are also oil

of them can be obtained by addressing

Politics at the State Fair

The following political gossip was
sent to the Burlington Free Press by
correspondent at While River junction:
Not little politics was talked by the
prominent men from different parts of
the State in attendance at the State fair
in the intervals between the horse races
and the airship flights, and the contest of
the merry milkmaids, and other events
provided through the enterprise of
president Maxwell Evarts and his CO.
workers.
The candidacy of Governor Mead for
reelection had been suggested, but it
transpired that he would like to be the
next commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic and that he also
has other ambitions looking to national
politics. So far as the governorship situa.
ton is concerned no new candidacy was
in evidence and the situation remained
unchanged, Mr.. Fletcher being the only
avowed candidate in the field.
The voice of Vermont in the mex
presidential election was freely discussed
and the opinion was expressed that thu
Republicans could win with Taft if the,
could win with anybody.
Senator Dillingham; having alread,
represented Vermont in national Repub
lican conventions as chairman of tn,
delegation, it was not known whethe
he would want to 60 in 1912 or not, bu
it was suggested that Senator Pag
would be good man to help make th
strong delegation which Vermont shout
send to help handle the situation mex
year. He has wide acquaintanc
among the leading men of the nation
and would hold his own with any of tn
leaders in figuring out political situa
tions.
Hon. Theodore N. Vail of Lyudonvill
| was also prominently discussed as ma
of great influence in the financial worlC
who would lend prestige to Vermont :
, member of the delegation to the mex
national convention. MIR. Vail is doiu
a grand work for the young farmers {
Vermont in connection with the agr
cultural institutions he has establishe
and is maintaining at his own expens
for the benefit of the agricultural il
terests of the State. He has show
marked enthusiasm over Vermont DO

Vermont State Fair.

The Vermont state fair at White
River junction has become an establish
ed state institution. For several years
the management has given great fair
and this year it was larger and better
than ever before. When Maxwell Evarts
of Windsor preached the matter of
state aid in the Vermont legislature
there were many who looked upon the
proposition with skeptical eyes. 1t was
argued that Vermont had tried state
fairs before and had failed ingloriously.
Some opposed state aid for state fair,
and no such aid for the fairs already
struggling for existence. Mr.. Maxwell
however, kept hammerlng away at the
main issue, and succeeded in getting the
state to foster the fair and the legisla.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1911.

Our national standard of manners,
relating to the more important affairs,
as shown in President Taft's good-natur-
ed comment on the rebuff offered to
him by the majority of the Canadian
people at the polls, aud his magnanimity
in giving only due measure of atten-
ton to the insulting misrepresentation
of the motives of his proposition, by
the yellow journals of Canada, is some
thing to which we should point with
pride, the more especially as it is being
seconded by representative newspaper
men, and in personal discussions OF the
present attitude of Canada regarding the
proposition For the time being the
greater idea of craftsmanship which the
President and Canada's grand old man,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, endsavored to real
ize, must await a clearer, personal under
standing of political economy by the
Canadian people. Meanwhile nothing
should be done by Irresponsible individ-
uals to create any measure of actual an
tagonism. Things said and done in the
general excitement of an election, to
which state of mind many issues, such
as differences over religious observances,
the upbuilding of Canada's navy and
the like, contributed, should be as soon
forgotten as are the cliffs between in.
dividuals. Even true lovers quarrel
some times. When we poor mortals
forgive and forget there is Joy in heaven
AS we'll known writers says: "Life is
too short"to spend any of it in resentine
rebuffs. We ought to get, at least a.
much profit out of opportunity as we car
DO by making the best of trying un
toward happenings. That the exemplar.
behaviour of President Taft will to
great extent operate so as to allay the dis
trust between the two peoples-due t
the business of election-goes withou
saying That some advantage was seel
by lesser politicians in the failure of tn
reciprocal idea, that could be used
justify contrary and unpopular policie
is evident at this, the outset of the ms
tional campaign But such petty polite
are in no wise representative republica
principles and the American standard {
ethics socially and financially and be
haviour under provocation to resentmer
is that which is presented at this tin
by President Taft.
