Vermont Not Sewed Up.

The fact that in test primary by ballot
taken at the town meetings in Lamoille
county, in Vermont, Mr.. Roosevelt led
Mr.. Taft by more than two to one is
significant in view of the fact that the
Taft campaign managers have claimed
all the votes of the Green Mountain state
and have not even allowed that there
was any Roosevelt sentiment in the
state.
Vermont is supposed to be for Mr.. Taft
because Senator Page and Gov. Mead
support him. but politically the state of
Vermont never was so untrammeled as
she is at this moment. They don't even
know who is to be nominated for gov
ernor this fall by the Republicans, and
usually the slate has been made up four
years ahead The death of Senator Proc
tor, followed by that of Fletcher ID. Proc
tor, his son, has disintegrated a power
full machine. Now everything is wide
open and the Roosevelt ballot primary in
"spunky Lamoille" proves it.
If Roosevelt men organize and put up
a fight, it will do the Republicans of Yer
mont good to be in a scrap where the
cards are not all marked.-Boston Globe

Rewards For Live Men.

The officers of western railroad ad

In all callings and occupations there

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"Dear Old Billy" Is Clean and Whole.
sOmely Funny Comedy.

| An event Of notable Importance will
be the coming to Barre on Tuesday
night, March II, of the eminent Eng
lish character in the laughing success
of two continents, Dear Old Billy" a
clean and wholesomely funny farcical
comedy in three acts by w. B. Risque.
This piece comes to us almost direct
" from its run of hundred nights in
Chicago, where it was one of the three
attractions that endured the hottest
summer that Chicago has ever known.
Mr.. Will j. Davis, manager of the IL
linois theatre of that city, referring to
Dear Old Billy" declares it to be "the
best farce and best company seen in
Chicago in twenty years. Mr.. Percy
Hammond, dramatic critic OF the Chi
cago Tribune says: at is facile ex-
ample of playing and one quite worthy
OF Mr.. Hawtrey's past" The Detroit
Free Press says: Anybody who thinks

NOR should see Dear Old Billy it is the
best imported farce since 'Charley's
Aunt The audience shrieked with
laughter. Hawtrey is immense and his
support is admirable,
ii seems to be the unanimous opinion
OF those who have seen this offering,
that for clean fun and laughable situa
tions and complications, Dear Old
Billy exeels even such of its illust-
r!ous predecessors from the pens of Eng
lish writer's of farce as THE Private
Secretary" "Charley's Aunt" arabian
Nights" and "Jane." The action of the
piece is woven around a kindly, easy
going gentleman of middle age William
Smith who, for twenty years has been
haIrassed by a domineering wife. In
an effort TO secure much needed liberty,
rest and repose. he secures legal separa-
ton, the terms of which stipulate that
he shall pay her seven hundred and fifty
pounds annually. 1t is further arranged
that in the event of their meeting, she
is not to interfere with him in any
way, or make known their relationship,
or even speak to him on penalty of for
feiting her yearly allowance. Smiths

The place which the automobile occu-

indirectly revealed by the action of the
Eoters of Eden, Maine, who win petition
the legislature to remove the ban which
made that place an automobile-less Eden.
The people of that place thought they
tould exclude the automobile and still
have the summer tourist business they
wished for, but they found they were in

roads would soon find. The al tomobile

CURRENT COMMENT
The Word Progressive"

The inclination of many a sober Yer
mont Republican towards the nomina-
tlcn of Col Roosevelt for third term
was influenced by the belief that he
was the only Republican who could win
the presidential election. The Columbus
speech has eliminated Col Roosevelt as
the candidate of any sober Republican
ana has left practically only President
Taft, Astounding in ineptitude, to lead
towards threatening defeat. The Repub-
leans are short OF men who combine
with qualities of leadership, level
head, grasp of public affairs, steadiness
OF purpose and unchanging devotion to
the form of government framed by the
fathers of the American republic. A
good many people are getting tired of

the Anti-Saloon league has doubtless

POOL, BILLIARDS AND BOWLING.

The moral evolution through which
these three games have passed afford
\ an instructive spectacle to the social
philosopher
There wasa ime excep in some of
the larger cities, when young man
who was seen punching shiny little
balls over a green cloth was regarded
with grave suspicion by the moral
forces of the community.
Occasionally there might have been
some slight ground for this feeling.
In country towns and even in many
good sized cities these three games
were closely associated with the flow
ing bowl and other vices. OF course
these little implements were as free
from guile or stain as the deacon's
contribution box Yet it actually hap
pened from their associations that
the fellows who were using them
were often unable to get around to
work the first of the week until Tues
day or Wednesday.
In spite of the liberal feeling of
our present days there may be some
conservative circles where these pas
tmies are still regarded with sus-
picion. While no one would assert
that they are intrinsically harmful
yet certain timid moralists would
argue that the boy who learns to play
pool in the Y. M A. may wind up
by playing it in the saloon.
The argument is a reminder Of
the way some conscientious people of
years ago used to feel about walking
Sunday. The tradition has been hand
ed down to the writer that In GER
tain town many years ago 1t was pro-
posed that the cemetery be opened
on Sunday.
1t was argued by the liberals of |
those days that the young people |
could not possibly meet with any |
harm in the solemn precincts of the
burial ground, and might even get
some good from reading the scripture
texts on the gravestones.
To which the "unco' guide" in stern
protest replied that If the young peo-
pie were allowed to walk in the GEM
stery soon they would be walking in
The fields and the woods. So the
cemetery remained closed to this pro-
'ane pastime-for few years.
How absolutely this feeling has
changed today Now the majority of
Young Mems Christian associations
nave all or part Of the games named
lbove. Many churches find that their
members may be quite as well off at
he weekly social If they are punch
ng balls into the pool pockets as II

FRIENDSHIP.

1t Is good thing to be rich; a
good thing to be strong; but it is o
better thing to be beloved of many
friends. r enjoy good things, we
must ourselves be good; and of al
the good things of this world faith
full friend is the best.
He who hears you and understands
you becomes possession of yours TO
all time. Your true friend makes you
partaker of his humors. Before
him you need not fear to think aloud.
| Actions. not words, are the real
foundations of the attachment OF
friends.
The essence of friendship is trust
and its sures foe, deception. One
must hold ones friends as unjudge1
and faultless to the end.
To be true friend one must be
perfectly honest.
The speed with which we make
friends depends on our nobility OF
character, wherein the contempt for
trlfles is uppermost and the indu,g
ence of satire is least.
Friends would be made with the
heart rather than with the practical
side of the brain. Napoleon, for many
years, tossed the world about; hated
many and loved none; destroyed cit
les and struck terror to the nations
of the world and yet could not hold
single friend to outlast his calami-
ty.
Better be a thorn in the side Of
your friend than his agreeable coun-
terpart.
He who never makes foe, can net
make friend.
If friendships be made of dreams,
instead of the tough fiber of the hui
man heart. they may hurry to short
and poor conclusions, in their very
golden hours.
1t is sad when ale-bearing unknots
friendships; but whispering tongues
did ever poison truth.
However, if friends must part, they
should lock up each others secrets
and throw away the key, for the
truly noble minds know no resent
ment.
Many are soured from disappointed
and give up the belief in
such an ideal. Let us beware of such
a state of mind, lest we prove to
the world that our hearts are un-
sound by believing every other heart
is unreal.
Let us rather be appeased and hold
with the philosopher that he who
ceases to be friend, never W as a
