FEMALE SUFFRAGE.


Mr.. Woodall's amendments to the
franchise bill, giving the ballot to
women who possess the qualifications
which entitle them to vote, was defeated
in the House of Commons by a vote of
271 to 135, but nevertheless female suf-
frage is gaining in England. In the
first place, there would have been more
than 135 votes in its favor had not Mr..
Gladstone declared his unwillingness to
have his bill for franchise reform en-
numbered with such measure: and in
the next place, when the House of Com
mons voted on the same question a year
ago there were only IA votes for fe-
male suffrage. A gain of twenty-one
votes in Parliament in one year is GER
tainly an important achievement.
Women who are rate or tax payers al
ready have the right to vote at local
elections in England, and multitude
of Englishmen believe that the parlia-
mentary franchise cannot long be with
held from them, It is evident that the
recent vote is not to end the consid-
Grafton of the subject in Parliament.

substitutes for butter has been made
during the past few years, and equally
certain that this export has been in
creasing, but there is no reason to sup
pose that any harm to the British health
h as yet resulted; and since the sub
stitutes are much cheaper than the but
ter, several of the English journals seem
disposed to give the trade free course
and let it go on to the fullest extent.
It may readily be imagined that if the
people of New York knew or believed
that the larger portion of the oleomar-
garine manufactured in their borders
went abroad, there would not be quite
SO much opposition to it as was shown
by the passage of the law prohibiting
it's manufacture and sale. It is not
probable that the greater part goes out
of the country, but to judge from the
published descriptions of it's manufact-
ure, it is highly desirable that it should,
and any action taken with that end in
view will be welcomed.

CUBA,S COMPLAINTS.

The people of Cuba are complaining,
with great bitterness, of the lack of in
terest shown in them by the home gov
eminent at Madrid. They intimate
that the Spanish government recognizes
es their existence only when taxes are
to be collected, and then after fashion
the reverse of amiable. Meanwhile
bandits continue to distract the island,
and against them the people of the
isolated country districts are absolutely
powerless, being forced to pay what
ever sums are demanded. Between the
Spanish tax collectors, who take all the
years profits, and the bandits who
come after them and regularly gather
in large share of each years capital,
the sugar planters are not making much
money, and naturally feel somewhat
sore ever the situation. A strong feel
ing is said to be springirg up in the
country in favor of annexation to the
United States as the best way out CT all
their difficulties, and should this feeling
take root among the better classes it
will probably give more trouble than
Spain has ever yet experienced in

ENGLISH FARMS,

Agriculture in England is suffering a
steady decline. In 1881 there were
ten per cent. fewer farmers and ten per
cent. fewer farm laborers than in 1871,
while the number of farmers bailiffs had
increased eighteen per cent. The diff
fculty is chiefly traceable to the land
laws by which ownership is concen-
trated in few hands. Twenty-Five
landlords own an aggregate of 5, 113,6OO
acres, an average of 2O4,54O each; AZ
proprietors, own 1920, 2O4, 554 acres, an
average of 68,522 to each; 392 persons
own 5,54S.7S5 acres, ranging from TO-,
600 to 10000 each; 831 others own g..
71O,593 acres, ranging from 5000 to
10000 each; 2, 402 own 7,372,568 acres
ranging from 1900 to 5000 each, and
1910 own 1854, $40 acres ranging from
1000 to 1000 each. These vast domains
are rented and leased to farmers by
whom they are worked. But the whole
system is such as to discourage the act.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The difference between the founda-
ton upon which the United States is
established and that which sustains the
German Government is plainly stated
in the address of Emperor William
yesterday, whereupon he says Through
the success of the united German arms
the Empire has attained greatness
before undreamed Of" A Nation which
owes it's existence to the sword llust
be kept up by the sword. While frown-
ing fortresses and standing armies in
dictate the power Of European dynas-
ties, America points to her free lands,
her free schools, her factories and he1
broad farms as the emblem of he1
strength. "They that live by the
sword shall perish by the sword" and
they that plant their foundation upon
the principles of peace, through peace
shall they prevail.

NATIONAL GROWTH.

A very striking idea of the growth OF
the country is to be derived from a
glance at the increase of the number OF
votes cast in presidential elections. In
the great Harrison campaign of 1910
the whole vote was a little over 2,4OO,-
600, while in 1880 it was 9,210,970, or
nearly four times as great. The COM
bined vote of New York, Pennsylvania
and Indiana is now larger than the to-
tai vote of all the states in 1910; and
New York alone casts very nearly as
many votes as were cast by the whole
country in 1923. Another remarkable
fact is that as the votes increase the
margin of difference between the par
ties grows narrower. Polk, Taylor, Blu
chanan, Lincoln, Hayes and Garfield,
were all elected by plurality instead
of a majority of the aggregate popular
vote; and in the case of the latter the
plurality by which he won was only
1000 in total vote of nearly 100000

There were fifty entries of fruit, forty
eight of which were of strawberries. and
two of cherries; thirty-two in the col

BOGUS BUTTER IN ENGLAND.

The oleomargarine scare has finally
reached England, and the papers there
are beginning to speak ominously of the
quantity, quality and variety of substi-
tutes for butter which are put on the
market. The English are not quite so
scary by nature in regard to such mat
tiers as are the people of this country.
and therefore the scare does not take
such root as it has done here, but not a
little alarm seems, however, to- be felt,
and the chemists have been set to work
to evolve the variety of results which
are common when experts begin their
operations. Some of the chemists have
already reported that some of the COM
pounds, properly prepared, are not only
harmless, but are preferable to the but
itself, while others see nothing but
peril in the use of anything of this
nature but the genuine product of The
dairy; and the disagreement of the
doctors, in this, as in other cases. will
probably result in throwing the indi-
vidual consumers each on his own re-
sources, and leaving each to eat or not
just as his tastes or fears suggest. It is
certain that vast export of the various

TRADE WITH MEXICO.

A good sign for the commercial future
of the West and Southwest IS found in
the appreciation, by all sections of the
country, of the necessity of cultivating
closer relations with Mexico and the
Central South American States. The
outward and visible signs of this in
ward and spiritual grace are seen in the
liberal aid extended to- the New Orleans
Exposition, in the disposition to effect
treaties of various kinds with the South
American States, and the kindness with
which the Nicaraguan ship canal prof.
ect is viewed in the East. Expositions
which borrow money, or try to borrow
money, may not always be as whole
souled about repaying it as they should
be, treaties may have their disadvan-
tages, and there may be huge jobs of
many kinds in canal projects, but all
these things point to a good result,
and while in none of these particular
instances mentioned is there anything
to condemn, there is, in the general
line of policy thus marked out, much
to approve. 1t is not little surprising,
when the list of applications for space
in the New Orleans Exposition is sur
veyed, to find how great are the dis
plays expected from the various Cen
trail American States, and how large a
share of the space is to be devoted to
raw products, which, if imported into
this country, cannot fail greatly to
increase our wealth. The real market
for considerable part of our products
must in the future be found in this
quarter, and il our merchants are only
wise enough to see this fact in time and
pre-empt the trade before it is seized
by others, we shall be just so much
| the richer. -t

The HOd-Carriers in ermany.
rFrom the San Francisco Chronicles

from the San Francisco Chronicle.)
AS there are no hod-carriers in Ger
many, for the simple reason that hod
is as unknown there as an Irishman is,
each brick must be passed from hand to
hand again. The higher up the brick
layers are the more men are required
to toss the bricks. Two men to story
is about the average, with enough more
to lead from the front of the building to
the place where the bricks are needed.
Thus I have seen three men on the
ground, eight on the front of the build
ing, and five on the top, making sixteen
men through whose hands the bricks
passed before it reached it's place of
destination. l have frequently stood
and watched a single brick go climbing
the front of building, leaping from
hand to hand, and have wondered ev-
cry time why in the world hods, horse
power or steam-engines were not used.

A Relic of 1749.

Our old town house is undergoing an
other transformation to suit growing
necessities, one of many it has seen
since its erection as the Old Colony
courthouse in 1749, says the Old Col
ony Memorial. Judge Oliver, of Mid
dleboro, was it's original architect, and
when new the entrance was from Market
Street by handsome fight of steps.
When the town, about 1887, needed
market house, the steps were removed
and an entrance made from the square.
the basement being converted into q
market In 1920 the courthouse be-
came a town-house and rooms were
made for fire apparatus on the first floor.
and the town hall located in the second
story, having a slanting floor. Next,
town officers routed out the firemen.
the market was given up, and the fire
apparatus transferred to the basement.
Then the old hall became too small for
the meetings of the citizens, and for
time in disuse, few years ago becom-
ing public ibrary-room. Now, more
rooms for town officials are needed, and
the old hall is cut up for their conven-
fence. From the stair landing at the
easterly end an entry runs about half
the length of the old hall, the new safe
being first on the left. Opposite is
room for the assessors, giving them easy
access to the safe. Beyond the latter is
nice little room, which we understand
is to be appropriated for the superin-
tendent of schools. Across the whole
westerly end is large room, which may
be used in select-men's hearings, or for
purposes of a like nature. Between
this large room and that of the asses
sors are folding doors, so that both can
be used together, ifneeded. The whole
is to be warmed from furnace or
steam apparatus in the basement.
