osIer often Mlsquoted

Why do newspaper photographers
persist in making DR.. Osler respon.
sible for the assertion that a man is
good for nothing after attaining the
age of 40 years? He never said any
thing that can be so construed. 1t
does not require a great deal of per-
spicacity to get at the meaning of
DR.. Osler's famous utterance. Re-
duced to its lowest terms it means
simply that mans power for TAX
ing the initiative in any work be-
comes practically nil unless exercis-
ed prior to his attaining a certain
age. While the dictum might be sup
ported by facts there still would be
exceptions; and DR. Osler may have
placed the period of desuetude per-
haps a decade too early. But moth
ing that he ever said can be inter
preted to indicate a belief that the
average man is worn out, either men
tally or physically, at the age of 40,
or even GO years.-Rutland Herald.

uermont,s Asbestos Mines

The Morlsville Messenger. under
the caption Better Than Barre, is
enthusiastically prophetic of a great
industry which 1t believes will be de-
veloped at Belvidere mountain, which
is in the towns OF Lowell, Eden and
Belyidere. This mountain contains
the finest chrysolite asbestos to be
found in America If not in the world.
A railroad is needed for the develop
ment of the mines, just as a railroad
was needed TO Barre's famous gran
tie hill but little more than thirty
years ago. A third railroad is to be
built to the Barre quarries, yet that
hill is a mole hill beside Belyidere
mountain" declares the Messenger
Coincident with the prediction by the
Messenger comes the announcement
of the incorporation Of the Chryso-
lite Asbestos company of Lowell With
$4,000. 600 capital.

The asbestos deposits of Vermont
are in the mountains which continue

A Painful Duty Discharged

Quite aside from the question of
the desirability of inhicting capital
punishment, lay the duty Of the exc
cutive council as it faced the ques-
ton of committing the sentence
which the courts have passed on Sill
as N Phelps and sustained in all the
appeals that it is possible to make
in his behalf. The councillors who
voted against Communication of the
sentence are as human and respon-
sive to sentiment as any of us-but
they rested under sworn obligation
to uphold the laws of the common
wealth, from whose binding force
they could in honor see no escape
Put yourself in their place. The
other, the easy, and perhaps the
popular way, lay open to them. They
took the hard road of duty, and are
entitled to and will receive credit
therefor from all who are governed
by reason and a proper regard for
the orderly and tried processes Of
law as 1t is administered with excep-
tional thoroughness and fairness in
this state Our judges continually
face situations akin to this.
If a majority of our people believe
that organized society should not
take human life, then the way Is open
for abolishng the death penalty, but
the law is as it is Phelps took the
life of an officer of the law who was
in the line of his duty. and for this
the court applied the extreme penal

to one-stood by the courts and the

to do this, but their obligation seem

are there-and no fair-minded per

plenty of loose and irresponsible talk
regarding this condemned man. In
the true and unprejudiced story there
is no glamor of the heroic, but much
Of peril for Phelps neighbors. That
is the explanation of the attitude
which the people of Franklin county
have maintained in this case. The
deadly menace of bad man" in an
unpoliced region is a very real thing
and these folks look to the courts as
their last line OF defense. The cir
cumstances surrounding the whole af
fair did not warrant an overruling of
the courts. Judges cannot evade

THE WALKING DELEGATE
AS He Is illustrated In the Trouble
at Lawrence

al Lawrence
A large part of the actual trouble
in Lawrence, if not the fundamental
trouble OF the strike itself, appears
to be due to the presence in town of
agitatOrs from outside, called in
highsounding phrase organizers of
the industrial workers 1.-THE world ="
1t is always a pity when labor unions
fall so far under the domination OF
the walking delegate, for II is seldom
indeed that walking delegates are
wise, or calculating, or temperate In
their attitude Particularly unfort1n-
ate seems to be the selection in this
case The despotism Of any agitator
seems to vary directly with the inabil
ity of the operatives TO speak Eng
fish. The more thoroughly Ameri-
canized the workers become, the less
capable Is the outside delegate to
boss them about as if they were
sheep. 1t were better for labor on
the whole If the domineering Of the
walking delegate We're done away
with, and if fewer men made a live
lihood by devoting themselves to the
sole task of making trouble for the
industrial workers of the world, -
that is TO say, trouble for the men
who really earn their bread by actual
toll Every community is well &c
quainted with agitators of the stripe
who never do a decent days work
themselves, but who are active in
strolling about stirring up discomfort
for those who do work These men
are commonly paid salaries for DO
ing just that and nothing else.
Up to the present time, labor or
carnations have appeared to feel
that these gentry were necessary.
Just why we have never understood.
The general callber of the walking
delegate force the country over is an
Indictment of its usefulness; and the
reason commonly is that nobody Of
spirit covets that kind OF a job II he
can do anything else 1t therefore
falls to the lot of those who don't
greatly like manual work, but who
do enjoy unlimited talk and little
brief authority over bands of obedi-
ent followers. Happily the better or
ganized trades have begun to out
grow this form of domination, having
seen the needlessness of it and the
common fact that It does rather
more injury than good.
1t is a question how long Lawrence
under what amounts to martial law.
will stand for the continued presence
of these outsiders bent on melting RI
otous violence. Presumably all such,
as fast as found will be driven out
of town as they deserve, or impris-
oned as enemies of the public peace.
It is all well enough. perhaps, to en-
dure the presence of walking dele
gates. undesirable as they are, so
long as they confne themselves to
fomenting quarrels between employer
and employe, but it is intolerable
that any such should add thereto in
element to mob violence. Any man
caught doing that must be expelled
from the vicinity-and under partlc'
ularly fragrant circumstances might
easily be more harshly dealt with. In

walls any such offender would be
