VERMONT TELEGRAPH.
BRANDON. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1910.


The Telegraph has often been decried
and denounced for driving too much at
one idea. The same pseudo conservators
OF public morals who have brought this
charge have as often brought directly the
opposite-viz: that the Telegraph under
takes too much-it has SO many irons in
ne nre that some are in danger of burn
ang. So much for the consistency of those
who lack either the disposition or the
power to be either one thing or another.
Regardless equally of the cries of those
who think the Telegraph too much con-
! -hnsd "a one thing, and of those who
'hink 1t engaged in TOO many things, it
will in future pursue the straight forward
course i has for nearly five years, expos

These things are said here, because
they occurred to me at this juncture-the
time having come, in my own humble
opinion, to take another step in REFORM
Not altogether another step, however,
because my own position on the subject

that the discussion of the subject will
occupy great space,-because, think its
merits are of easy development, and l
believe the readers of the Telegraph, gen.
orally, are ready to receive the truth
TO announce my subject, at once, then, i.
Is what has been stigmatized as
"THE WOMAN QUESTION"

the question as TO the right and propriety

mind with soundness of body. Strength
or soundness of mind is far from being
always proportioned to strength of body.
Proportion, soundness, and texture are
very much to be taken into the account.
But, conceding everything that will be
claimed by any, in regard to the compar-
alive natural power, either physical or
intellectual, of the sexes, I find nothing
in reason or revelation that carries me, or
tends to carry me to the conclusions ar
rived at by those who have of late grown
so clamorous against females participating
in public movements for the determination
of sin. More than this, | find the most
violent opponents to female action to be
so inconsistent with themselves, in rela-
ton to the public action of females, as to
prove conclusively that they are in slave
ry to an unmanly and unholy prejudice.
Read the ribaldry and wretched slang on
this subject, manufactured by n6del and
immoral prints, and copied and endorsed
by all those whose employment it is to
prepare food for vitiated public taste and
sentiment. These are the very prints to
be filled with theatre advertisements. and
with eulogies upon the theatrical perform
ances of females! Thus females are not
only sanctioned, but aided on in the work
of eorrupting public morals. But if thew

how is it in the literary world? WHY,

for females to read their compositions, and

turned from China. Among the hosts
were nearly all the London merchants &C

guest on being toasted as usual, made
speech as usual. The Post says that the
topic of the speech was a selfgralulating
account of the Juggling by which he had
evaded the Chinese laws. He expatiated
on the extent and on the success of his i'm.
portations of the prohibited drug into Chi
ma; on the magnitude of his achievements
as smuggler of the first rank-and on
the folly of paying any regard TO the Chi

things he said they were not sincere in
their prohibition as question of morals
