The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-05-12

The death of William Dean Howells
at the age of SO removes one of the
last connecting links between the pres
emit day and the day of Americas liter
airy glory. 1t was Howells' privilege
to gain an inspiration through personal
relationship with such great literary
minds as Henry w. Longfellow, Ma
thaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emer-
son, Oliver Wendell Holmes and James
Russell Lowell, coterie of brilliant
minds which brought fame to American
letters and the like of which have not
appeared in group since their day.
The inspiration which Howells drew
from them stamped him as worthy
successor to that old school of Ameri-
can literary masters.

HOW DO THE VERMONT CANDI-
DATES STAND?

Before Vermont Republicans select
delegates to represent them at the Re
publican national convention to nomi-
nate a candidate for president and a
candidate for vice-president, these hav-
ing the electing power through the
state convention have a right to know
how the various candidates mentioned
stand as regards a pledged delegation
and, also, if they are representing any
special cliques having predictions
toward certain candidates for presi-
dent. What Vermont really wants, we
believe, is an unbiased delegation
ready to size up the situation in Chi
cago and ready TO use their influence
toward nominating the man who seems
al that time to meet the requirements
best of all in the field. Vermont Re
publican sentiment is at the present
time divided up regarding the qualitica-
tions OF several candidates, and IL
would be the unfair thing TO attempt
TO deliver the votes of the state to
any candidate, either by actual pledge
or by recommendation in the state con-
vention. Therefore, it is only right
the candidates should frankly make
statement Of their position regarding
the Republican candidates. Very lit
lie Is known by the Republican voters
of the state as to the personal feel
ings of these men who have been
mentioned. A statement Of willingness
10 90 to Chicago without bias might
help the candidates quite materially.

n MAHA.-Rev. Charles w. Savidge
" of Omaha poked hornets nest
when he announced that he intended
bringing shipload of peasant women
from Europe to be wives for western
farmers and ranchers. because the
modern American girl, with her rouge

cobweb silk hose, is not fitted for life

Five hundred girls from about forty
eight states-country girls, town girls
and city grls-have written Rev.

offer themselves as substitutes for the
European peasant women. Here's the
