MORTGAGES

Step Taken in the Litigation
Over the Cotton Shop
in Montpelier
SALE TO GITCHELL
NOT CONFIRMED
Judge Butler Took the Mat
ter Under Consid-
GRAFTON

The mortgages of the Cotton Manu-.
featuring company have possession of
the plant ON Winooski avenue in Mont
pelier, that authority having been given
them at the hearing Thursday afternoon
which was held before Judge l.. Nj, But
Ter. The receivers asked that the con-
firmation of the sale OF the equity in the
plant to l.. c. Gitchell be approved by
the court and That the receivers be re.
lieved of the plant and then discharged
from further obligation,
During the course OF the hearing it
developed that the mortgages wanted
the custody of the plant and that Mr.
Gitchell also wanted them to have 1t
with short time redemption clause at
tached, so while Judge Butler did not
decid. as to the confirmation of the sale
he placed the plant as in the mort
gagees' hands.
Many petitions in the matter were
presented to Judge Butler for his consid-
GRAFTON in reaching his decision. Mr..
Gitchell, through A. A. Sargent, his at
torney, contended that he had purchased
some machinery which was not listed
and had a good bargain for the 81, he
paid for the equity. The attorney ar.
gued against confirmation of the sale
because il would mean collateral suits
in which Mr.. Gitchel was involved.
Attorney Harvey for the receivers
claimed ii was but another move upon
the part of the mortgages to tie up
money that should 90 10 the unsecured
creditors, and that ii was not until with
in a few days that the mortgages have

there are practically $4,000 of unse-

Mr.. Gitchell's attorney stated that he |
had an offer of substantial sum for /
his equity but that it was not sufficient /
and he wanted the confirmation. of the
sale. If he could not sell the plant he
was willing the mortgages should fore

Gymnasium Knitting.

Grandma. when she used to knit,
Didn't work her arms a bit.
Waving them like dumb-bell swingers
Seemed to do it with her fingers;
Didn't take up half a room,
Using needles like a broom.
Though she loved rocking chair
She could knit most anywhere,
And no matter how she'd ply,
Never poked YOU in the eve;
But. oh Tor and goodness gracious,
In these days so far less spacious,
When the modern knitting girl
Sits her down a sock TO purl.

Poke her neighhoT IN the ribs.

CUT THE FUEL BILL

Reach "the man with the shovel"
said Albert A. Cary, mechanical engi-
neer, in discussing "Preventable
Wastes of Coal in the United States"
at the annual meeting in New York Of
Mechanical Engineers. He says that
there are few industrial plants where
a saving of from 10 to 25 per cent in
amount of coal burned is not possible.
He proposed that necessary measures
be taken to bring all firemen in this
country under the control of the Fed
eral Coal Regulation by requiring
them to take out a United States
license. Any firemen not capable Of
properly firing in large plants would
then be prevented from wasting fuel.
A. A. Potter, dean of School of En-
gineering, and S. L. Simmering, as
sistant professor of steam and gas en-
gineering in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural College, have published a
bulletin for those who fire furnaces
and stoves They say that through
careful firing, proper regulation of
temperature in rooms and other
means, thousands OF tons OF coal can
be saved. According to this bulletin,
furnaces and stoves should be fired at
regular and frequent intervals, and
care should be taken not to allow the
fuel to burn too rapidly. To force
the fire, overheating the dwelling and
then opening doors and windows to
cool off, is waste of fuel, and also
depresses the vitality of the occupants
Of such dwelling.

and produces feeling Of cold. Dry
hest also cracks furniture and wood
work.
In firing soft coal, the entire fuel
bed should never be covered, as this
may cause an explosion on account Of
gases which will accumulate over
the fuel bed. 1t is suggested that the
coal be heaped on the front Of the
fuel bed, leaving the back uncovered.
This will tend to coke the coal and
causes the gases to be ignited as soon
as they are given of, thus lessening
the danger from explosions and also
utilizing the heat value of the gases.
Poking of the fuel bed should be
reduced to a minimum, but the fire
should be kept free of clinkers, as
they reduce the intensity of the draft.
The tendency of coal to cake, which
interferes with the draft, can be over
come by occasional poking, but BIZ
luminous coal should be disturbed as
little as possible.

MACHIAVELLI

Machiavelli, universally accepted
as the supreme exponent of craftiness
and cruelty in statecraft, in "The
Prince" g.vss advice which today
seems to be bearing fruit Reading
THE Prince" one cannot help won
dering whether the German kaiser is
not an ardent disciple of the six
teenth century Florentine statesman
The book was dedicated to Lorenzo
de Medici and contained advice which
that prince could use in governing.
"A prince" says Machiavelli
ought to have no other aim or
thought, nor select anything else for
his study, than war and its rules and
discipline; for this is the sole art
that belongs to him who rules, and IL
is of such force that it not only up
holds those who are horn princes, but
it often enables men to rise from a
private station to that of rank
What enables you to acquire a state
is to be master of the art"
The similarity between Machiayel-
lis ideal and that of his modern dis
ciple grows stronger.
For among other evils which be-
ing unarmed brings you, it causes you
to be despised, and this is one OF
those ignominies against which a
prince must guard himself. A prince
who does not understand the arts OF
war, cannot be respected by his SOL
diers nor can he rely on them. He
ought never, therefore, to have out
of his thoughts the subject Of war,
and in peace he should addict himself
more to its exercise than in war.
a.. He ought to keep his men well
organized and drilled.
". To exercise the intellect, the
prince should read histories and
study there the actions of illus
trious men, to see how they have
borne themselves in war, to examine
the causes of their victories and de-
feats, so as to avoid the latter and
initiate the former; and above all do
as an illustrious man did, who took
as an exemplar one who had been
praised and famous before him, and
whose achievements he always kept
in his mind. A wise prince ought
to observe some such rules, and
never in peaceful times stand idle,
but increase his resources with in
dustry in such a way that they will
be available to him in times of ad-
versity so that if fortune changes 1t
may find him prepared to resist her
blows"
One marvels at the fidelity with
which Wilhelm has followed Mach
iavelli's advice.

TURGOT

1t is largely from the men of yes
terday that we of today receive our
inspiration for accomplishment. To-
day we are in war, and we should
look back over the pages of history
to study the lives of men who have
done things either in war or through
the influence of war. Anne Robert
Jacques Turgot, statesman and
philosopher of the eighteenth century,
is one of those men whose lives have
been sources of inspiration to their
countrymen in war and in peace.
Turgot was a fighting Frenchman.
though most of his deeds were OF
peaceful nature. He despised the
pacifist type of man. He foresaw the
French Revolution, he even antici-
pated the freedom of the United
States. at that time colonies of Eng
land, and he helped kindle the fire
in France which had set all Europe
ablaze by the close Of the eighteenth
century.
Turgot, however, was not pacifist.
No doubt he recognized what the out
come Of his career would be but he
held unwaveringly to his principles OF
democracy. He would neither agree
renovation of the crippled finances
the weakness and frivelity of the
autocractic government. Beginning
his career as a churchman, he threw
aside restraining bonds to enter into
public service. He became finally
the minister of finance under the new
king, Louis XVI, in 1774. He had
the experience of thirteen years as
the head of the Limoges government,
and he went to the cabinet of Louis
XVI with quite definite ideas for the
renovation of the crippled finances
of France. He had more advanced
ideas on political questions than any
other statesman of his time, and he
remained with the government until
he saw that it was futile to attempt
reform without the support of the
king. At first the only results of his
proposed reforms could be seen in the
increasing number Of his enemies.
The queen, court and mobiles were all
against him, and in 1916 he gave up
public life on account of illness. He
died in 1881, before the spark of rev.
olution had been famed enough to
blaze forth.
Critics of Turgot say that he failed.
But looking back we see that he per-
formed untold services for France
and the principles Of democracy. 1t
is men of Turgot's type which. the
world is seeking today. Not only are
such men needed for the direction OF
policies of the government in its busi-
ness of upholding the principles OF
democracy, but men Of similar char
acter are needed to see further ahead
and point to the reforms OF the
future as unfiinchingly as Turgot in
dicated the coming Of le French
Revolution. The cry of tie world is
always for men; the cry Of the dem
ocratic world is for keen-visioned
men-men who, like Turgot, can
point to the future as well as function
in the present.
