President c. M. HAYS.

It would be idle to try to imagine
how many thousands of men to-day paid
silent tribute to the memory of Presi-
dent Hays, but the great fact remains
that on two continents and on two seas,
representing distance of about half
way around the globe, there was tenn
porary cessation of labor on all the prop
critics OF the Grand Trunk railway, and
its affiliated lines. This is memorial
unique but fitting. The great trans
portation machine which this master
mind had built up from a weak begin
ming and expanded until it has become
an instrument of empire building, stands
for life and ceaseless movement; how
could the realization of the great loss
it has sustained be better shown than
by break in the circulation of the sys-
TEN; the corporations heart had skipped
beat.
But those who paid silent tribute were
not confined to the employees who for
merly looked to Mr.. Hays as their chief.
This mans influence was not and, from
the very nature of things, could not be
limited to any such narrowed sphere.
The Fast and West looked to him with
hope and believed his promise of great
things in the future. Locked away in his
mind were comprehensive plans that,
reaching their fullness, would have been
a powerful force in industrial better
ment. New England, for instance, has
had occasion in the past to be grateful
for the justice and equity shown by the
road whose fortunes he directed.
But there is this hope. Be man
never sOgreat, it is the human law that
some one there will be who will pick
UP the broken threads and carry the
web on toward completion, After the
five minutes pause this morning, the
wheels once again began to move and
the enormous system once more was
filed with life and sped on to do mans
mission. The great work will be car
ried on; perhaps not along the same
channels through which Mr.. Hays would
have directed it, but nevertheless to-
ward the great goal he had in view.
And as long as the Grand Trunk or
the memory of it shall endure, so long
will the memory of its great president
be fresh.-St. Adams Messenger.

one good term deserves another. lie sees
no objection against and many argu-
ments for continuing in office for four
years more president who has done
well or who is in the midst of impor-
tant negotiations or in the critical stage
OF great public policy as the expira-
tion OF his first term approaches. The
third executive term is quite another
question, and against it are not only
the precedents of our politics but the
precepts of some of the ablest of our
presidents. The great example of Wash
ington has heretofore been sufficient to
prevent any man however popular, being
sent to the White House third time,
In many republics there is linger-
ing distrust of the possibility of an
ambitious president perpetuating his
power through the administrative po-
litical machinery at his command. In
several of the Latin-American countries,
the president is constitutionally inelig-
ible for immediate reelection. The
trainers of their organic laws thought
that it would be wise to make frequent
changes in personalities. In some coun-
tries the prohibition of reelection is
positive and permanent, and in others
there must be an intervening term be-
fore eligibility is permissible. In opera
ton practice has nullified the theory of
the Latin.American constitution makers,
1t is the way in some of the nations
to the south of us for the president in
office practically to designate his sue
cessor, who becomes mere plaoeholder
and agent for the ex-president In Chile,
for example, the presidency has rarely
passed out of half dozen great fam
lilies since the establishment of the re-
public. In the minor and less we'll
organized countries the ex.president is
so openly the power behind the presi-
Dental chair that nobody is surprised
ii the incumbent has little more than
the shadow Of authority. In the palmy
days of the Diaz regime in Mexico, while
Diaz himself may not have stood in
awe Of the constitution, and while there
may have been no positive prohibition
at the time of his reelection, he de-
ferred to popular sentiment enough at
an important period in his career to
cause General Gonzales to be chosen
president of Mexico for four years. At
the end Of Gonzales term Diaz resumed
his power by reelection and held it un-
broken until the revolution that put
Madero into office. Throughout the
Roosevelt campaign, Roosevelt has rath-
err seemed to favor the south American
idea of making the ex-president the real
authority pending his reelection and of
converting the actual president into
puppet on wires pulled by his predeces.
sor This is not the only point of re-
semblance between the third term can.

The Presidential Term.

Mr.. Taft is not the first president
TO suggest the extension of the presi-
Dental term to six or eight years, ae-
conipanied by the ineligibility of the
president for reelection. Mr.. Cleveland
made a somewhat similar recommends
tion when he was in the White House,
and publicists generally have from time
to time discussed the practicability OF
amending the constitution in the diree-
ton suggested. Nothing has come to all
this debate because of the plain pref
erence of the American people for a
free hand in the matter of choosing their
executive.
The average man rightly thinks that

THOSE EIGHT BAY STATE DELE
GATES.


Granting that Roosevelt won eighteen
of the thirty-six delegates in Massachu-
sets on Tuesday, it leaves the New Eng
Land division between Taft and Roosevelt
at So and 80, respectively, Taft having
carried New Hampshire, Connecticut and
Rhode Island complete, having halved
Massachusetts, won six out of eight IN
Vermont and lost Maine completely. But
the greatest significance attaches to the
result in Massachusetts,, where oppor-
tunity was given for the popular express
sion of preference for president, because
il has been Colonel Rooseyelt's position
that he was willing to abide by the
result of the submission of the selection
of Republican candidates direct to the
voters That result in Massachusetts,,
as we know, was in favor Of the renom-
nation of President Taft, not by large
majority, to be sure, but nevertheless by
wide enough margin to be conclusive.

son for the declaration by Colonel Roose-
welt that he viii not claim any of the
eight delegates-at large, who were elect
ed on Tuesday in spite of the fact that
his ticket of delegates was elected by
good margin. However, on the face of
the returns, it seems that he is entitled
to the delegates t-large and that they
are more or less bound to vote for him
in the national convention in Chicago.
Therefore, Col. Rooseyelt's telegraphed
release of those delegates from obliga.
ton to his candidacy will have little or
nc effect The release will leave their
choice to individual preference; and it is
scarcely likely that the eight men will
swap their allegiance without some def.
mite instruction from their constituents
other than that given on Tuesday. II
the eight votes are transferred to Taft,
it win be by some action apart from
that made by Col Roosevelt in his re.
nunciation.

AT the Methodist church last evening
a reception was given Rev. and Mrs. w.
L. Douglass by the ladies' aid of that
church. The church parlors were taste
fully decorated for the occasion. Those
on the introduction committee were Mr..

Mrs. w. T. Davis and II. c. Whitehill.
In the receiving line were Rev. and Mrs.
w. i. Douglass, Mrs. A. |. Torrey, Mrs.
Florence Guptil, w. Z. Carpenter and
the Misses Douglass. Punch and waters
were served by Mrs. ID. c. Jones, Miss
Beatrice Atherton, Miss Mary Guptil
and Mrs. Harry Lease. During the even
ing organ solos were rendered by the
organist of the church, Mrs d. w Cool.

ed, is perhaps the first Of local organiza-
tions formed to combat the white
plague" The purpose of the organiza-
ton is excellent and the work deserves
success. When the work of the organiza-
ton becomes thoroughly known, it is
likely to lead to the formation Of other
local organizations to supplement the
work of the state board of health and
local boards of health. Every county in
Vermont ought to have some local force
like this at work, and it would be better
still if there were many organizations
with this noble purpose in view

In Franklin county court yesterday, Il
person was fined 5000 for selling dis
eased meat. If diseased meat is being
sold by any person in Barre, as claimed
by some there is sufficient remedy under
the public statutes, provided there's evil
dence to back the charge. Another fea-
ture of a pure food campaign in Barre
should be the insistence that food of all
kinds be reasonably covered in trans
portation or not exposed to contaminat-
ing agencies The way we permit some
of our food products to be handled is
extremely hazardous to public health.

1t would have been foolish for New
Hampshire Republicans to bind them
selves not to vote for Theodore Roose-
welt under any circumstances; and 1t
would have been going out of their way
to give an unnecessary slap after they
had expressed their undoubted preference
for the return of Taft to the presidents
chair. Taken all in all, the New Hamp-
shire state convention seems to have
been ruled by sanity.

Attack on Congressman Plumley.

Hoard's Dairyman, a western agricul-
tural journal, bitterly criticises the at
titude taken by Congressman Plumley in
regard to the bills now pending in Con-
gress for the protection of butter makers
against the manufacturers Of oleo. Our
representative has answered the charges
in statement in which he contends that
in the interests of the butter maker
and of the consumer, all fraud in the
sale of oleomargarine must be eliminate
ed to the last degree, so far as it can
be done through congressional action. He
states that his position is endorsed by
w. L. Carter of Rutland, president Of
the Vermont Dairymen's association,
Hon. O. L. Martin OF Plainfeld, commits
sioner of agriculture, and that he is in
full accord with the rest OF the YER
mont delegation in Congress. He calls
the statements in the western journal
entirely without foundation and says:
Nothing but bill which to the last
degree possible prevents fraud upon the
consumer of oleomargarine will be sup
ported by me-"
In the word fraud lies the nub of
the whole matter. There is nothing UNI
wholesome in oleo and it is demanded
by some consumers. Its manufacture
and sale is perfectly allowable. But
it should not be allowed to be colored
to initiate butter or sold as butter.
Much fraud has undoubtedly gone I'M
detected in connection with the sale of
cleo, but an unwarranted attack like
this does not help the dairymen's side
at all.-White River Junction Landmark.
