ed the meeting Of the State Highway
} Officials association this forenoon and
afternoon in the hall of representa-
tiyes. The legislative committees re-
port was considered very carefully
and the question Of road taxes brought
out some vehement retorts among
those favoring the retaining the 50
tax, those wishing to reduce H. to 81
and those desiring to eliminate it al
together, deeming the one mill state
levy sufficient The first named won
the victory for the SO tax and double
penalty.
Governor McDonald's address at the
forenoon session made a most favor
able impression He insisted that
good roads work should be taken out
Of politics and argued in favor of cen
tralization and cooperation. He point

Playing a Game on Prouty

1t appears that the Greater Vermont
meeting could not pass without some
body injecting politics into the gathering
A totally anonymous slip of paper pass
ed around on which was written a mes
sage in typewriter as follows:
A delegation of the officers of the Nom
Partisan Prouty club of Orleans met c.
A. Prouty here yesterday to urge his con
sent to a non-partisan nomination as U.
S. senator. 1t was represented that there
was an nearly unanimous sentiment
among the voters of all parties in Bar
ton for such a nomination and election;
and that such sentiment was very strong
throughout the State. lnresponse to the
committees request Mr. Prouty said:
This is an entire surprise to me. re.
Gently reached the conclusion, after care
ful consideration, not to be ii candidate.
| said so and | meant 1t. | shall not be
candidate, but if there is in fact such
sentiment as you indicate, OF which am
not certain | should be bound to recog-
nize it, An election under those circum-
stances would be in nature of command
from the people of my native State, which
[ should feel bound to obey TO the best Of
my ability.
Half dozen of these slips were passed
rom hand to hand during the evening.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Prouty would
make Unit ed States Senator who would
reflect high credit upon the State of YER
mont. We do not think however that it
is very digni6ed to try to place any man
in nomination for that high office by
scattering anonymous slips and suddenly
flashing the paper before his eyes. How
could Mr.. Prouty or anybody else, say
of-hand in a crowd, what he would do
under such conditions 1t seems to US
like trihing with the man to catch him in
such mouse-trap. The whole question
was anonymous, with no father and
without a single man to stand sponsor.
Out with such cheap trick upon so good
a man as Charles A. Prouty.-B urling.

sentation at town meeting.
There will be social dance at Valley

Next Monday, March 9, comes the next
entertainment in the course, and it will

paDy. Do rot miss it.
North Hyde Park has a right to be
proud of her son, who took the stand
with such forceful arguments against the
saloon business in Burlington. Hearing
his arguments a few years ago, which
rather favored a license, we are doubly
pleased with the position taken By him,
and it has been experience that has
taught the lesson. AS an attorney he has
been brought in to see all phases of this
question. Society must be protected
Mr.. Billiard said he felt there was some
thing wrong about that; this was said at
the time sentence was passed upon a
man, who it was admitted was good
man when sober but drink made him
crazy but society ought to have protect
ed this man. There is no real sound
argument in favor of license to make
men crazy or women either. Do not
stop this work until Vermont is clean
and pure.

Ex-senator Teller

The death of Elk. Senator Henry M. Tel.
Ter of Colorado breaks a link that con.
nected us with the great events of the
nineteenth century. Senator Teller had
an important part in the legislation OF
Spanish war days. He was the author
of the Teller Resolution" which declared
that this country would not annex Cuba,
that we only wished to give the Island
the chance for selfgovernment. This ac-
ton will be of lasting benefit to onr ma
ton and to the world
In politics Senator Teller was a Repub-
lican, but disagreed with hisl party in
1896 on the free silver issue, on which
Colorado was opposed to the gold stand
ard As a Republican and later as an
independent Silver Republican, he served
in the national Senate 1876 to 1882 and
1885 to 1909 During President Arthur $
administration he was Secretary OF the
Interior He served in the Civil War as
a major general.
Henry M. Teller was one of many
Young men from the east who made their
mark in the west and in the nation. He
was born in Granger, N, Y, in 1880.

SENSIBLE Notwithstanding to Colonel
G9thals the first ship to pass through
the Panama Canal will not be the Oregon
or the Fran or any other picture'qn
vessel, but either the Cristobal or the
Ancon, which belong to the government
tally owned Panama Railroad Steamship
Company, and which are engaged prncl-
pally in the prosaic business of carry ing
cement to the Istbmus. This decision
may be rather distressing to the spectac-
ula- and the romantic, but it is bust
nesslike proceeding in harmony with the
canals purpose and the manner of the
canals construction. The ships may be
made to serve useful purpose on their
journey through the canal. And if any
thing happens to them the loss will not
be really serious. Hartford Times.

CONGRESSMAN Plumley

Though comparisons may generally be
termed invidious, in this connection 1t is
well to remember that the statement has
often been made that no Vermonter, with
the exception of former Senator George
F. Edmunds, is today better versed in in
ternational law than Congressman
Plumley. Born in Lamoille county, he
received his early education there and he
broadened his knowledge by courses at
seminary in Illinois and in thelaw depart
ment ofthe University of Michigan. That
his knowledge of International law is
appreciated may be known when it is re-
called that President Roosevelt named
him as the umpire in the mixed commits
sions of Great Britain-Venezuela and
acknowledgements at Caracas in 1908
An even greater compliment was paid
him when France and Venezuela 1905
selected him as umpire in the settlement
of the question in dispute. Mr.. Plumley
conducted this latter court of arbitration
at Mortified.
These are only the greater honors that
have been bestowed upon Mr.. Plumley
He has represented Mortified in the
House of Representatives and Washing
ton county in the state Senate. He is
even better known throughout the coun-
try then at home in his connection with
