BUSINESS WOMEN AND BOARDS OF
TRADE.
Correspondence of the CALEDoN1AN.l

Correspondence of the CALIFORNIAN
The life and progressive spirit of
the ST. Johnsbury Board of Trade, as
demonstrated in the report of its
banquet, in a late issue of the GALE
DOMAIN, is truly refreshing. Will this
promising organiza ton kindly allow
an interested reader to suggest the
one missing element of the board ?
St. Johnsburv has able, reliable
business women, some of them large
property owners. Is there any good
reason why these should not be in
vited to direct membership in this
Board of Trade, as we'll as to share
in its festivities!
If some of the faces presented with
that report have been read correctly,
there is courage in that board that
would dare make such an experiment.
If it be an advantage to business
men to be organized for the purposes
contemplated by this board, is there
any reason why it may not be of
even greater value to the business
women?
The chivalry of the past centuries
raised woman from serfdom to make
her an ornament. The new chivalry
invites her to comradeship and
equality. The St. Johnsbury Board
of Trade cannot afford to allow the
women to organize separate society.

THE TIER OF DELEGATES.

The selection of delegates to the
national republican convention is a
subject for discussion just now
among Vermont politicians, and a
from which a choice may be made.
AS regards the delegates at-large,
the names of ex-Gov. Dillingham; of
Waterbury and Col. Geo. T. Childs
of St. Adams are prominently men
toned. The republicanism of both
these gentlemen is of sterling quality,
and they would add strength to the
delegation. Vermont has habit of
sending out strong delegations on
these important national occasions,
and her eight representatives at Min
neapolis this year should not fall be-
low the standard
So far as second district delegates
are concerned, Hon H. c. Bates and
L. d. Hazen of St. Johnsbury, Gen.
F. E. Alfred of Newport, F. D. Hale
OF Lunenburg, and some others are
talked about. Either ofthe St, Johns
bury gentlemen named would do the
district and the party excellent SER
vice on the delegation. 1t is yet
some time to convention day, but it
goes without saying that Vermont's

QUITTING DOWN.
ing seasol

The newspaper excitement con-
sequent upon the first tossing about
of the governorship ball has ma terial-
ly subsidized, and for the past week or
two our exchanges have been rather
quiet on that topic. Possibly some of
them are beginning to realize that
there is such a thing as talking too
much too long beforehand, and that
the chances of their own respective
candidates may not be bettered by
too hot discussion so farm advance
of action on the part of the people,
through their delegates. Coils. Fuller
and Fairbanks are the two leading
candidates at present, but there is
time for much to happen between
now" and then
The following bit of a straw is
plucked from yesterdays Free Press:

talked state politics yesterday with
Hon. w. L. Burnap, who has just re-
turned from White River Junction
and other towns in the eastern part
of the state as one of the special
masters in litigation of Importance.

out the majority of the sentiment
was for Fuller Fairbanks, however,
will have a strong backing from the

The Middlebury Register takes up
the matter of good roads, and SAYS
The St. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN,
speaking of better roads, says:
Permanent improvement of this
kind cost money, but pay in the end
That they pay will not be disputed,
nor will the proposition that they
cost; but such roads as we do have
cost, too" The Register thinks
and very correctly too-that if money
spent on the county roads could be
disbursed by competent persons, who
know good road when they see it,
instead of by parties utterly in
competent, results would be much
more satisfactory.
