The Treasury Department is the steam

The Treasury Department. is the steam
plant from which all the other depart
ments get their power" writes ex-
President Harrison in an article on
"The Secretary of the Treasury" in
August Ladies Home Journal. I'm the
ordinary operations OF Government it is
only a collecting and disbursing agency
collecting such taxes as Congress has
authorized, and paying out the money
as directed by law. Itwould be an ideal
condition of things il the Treasury
Department received each morning just
tho sum of money 1t had to pay out that
day-no surplus money out Of use in its
vaults, no deficit to be met by loans.
But things cannot be so nicely adjusted.
Wars make burdens that single
generation cannot bear, and they must,
in part, be put over upon other genera
tions, by the sale OF time bonds bearing
interest. Out OF the great expenditure
for the suppression OF the Rebellion of
1861 It has come to pass that the Govern
mont furnished, either directly or
through the National Banks, all OF the
money used by the people. The
Treasury Department is now q great
bank, and no longer mere public
collecting and distributing agency. 1t
Issues paper money, receives 1t In pay
ueut Of customs, duties and internal
taxes, and pays 1t out again for salaries,
supplies and public works. 1t 10 also

An exchange sizes up the mismated
marriages in this manner: Nine-tenths
of the unhappy marriages are the result
of green human calves being allowed to
run at large in society pasture without
any yoke on them. They marry and
have children before they have mus
taches, are proprietors Of two pairs of
pants, and the little girl they marry
are old women before they are 20 years
old. Occasionally one of these gosling
marriages turns out all right, but it is
a case of clear luck. If there was law
against young galoots marrying before
they have all their teeth, we suppose

An unknown poet gets in Maud
Muller parody as follows: Jake Null
Ter on a summers day, raked the
meadows sweet with hay. The mule
with which ne raked the hay was
muckle dun with spots of gray. Jake's
shirt was a hickory, his pants were
brown, with patch on the part where
Jake sat down. Jake cussed in way
1t was sad to see, when the mule went
shaw" when he said gee" A humble
bees home in the stubbles lay, where
Jake and the mule raked the clover hay.
A rake tooth ran through the humble
home, and the bees came out and began
to roam in search of the man on that
summers day who raked the meadow Of
clover hay. They swarmed inside
Jakes shirt and quickened the mule to
a mighty spirit. 1t was tough on the
mule, it was worse on Jake, and worse
still for that sulkey rake; for, the mule
turned loose in promiscuous way and
scattered that rake DER the hay"

THE CANVASS FOR GOVERNOR
A Deserved Tribute to Mej. Grout and
SFalr View of tho Situation.

The Brattleboro Phoenix makes this fair
and candid statement about the canvass
for governor.
The heat which two OF the state papers
ara trying to develop in their discussion of
the gubernatorial question has an amusing
side for those who have watched the course
of events In the canvass for the nominal
ton which IL now in progress, and who
accept the situation without personal pre-
judtco or feeling. 1t Is one of the times
when there is no occasion for anything
but cool blood and good temper. 1t is
difficult for man whose digestion is
reasonably good to think of any reason
for shying stones, or for saying unkind
things about anybody.
Major Josiah Grout OF Derby and Speak
err w. w. Stickney of Ludlow are both
making the best canvass they know how
for the republican nomination for COVER
nor. and both have earnest friends who are
putting in effective and confident work for
them. Both men have a good record, both
are unusually well versed in the affairs of
the state, and either would I'll the COVER
nor's chair competently and creditably.
80 much as this every fair-mfnded man
must admit When we 90 a step further
and look forward to the day when Orleans

argument in behalf Of Major Grout $

we ask you to nominate Major Grout,"-
we suspect that the plea will be successful
and the request will be granted. And those
who vote for Major Grout will not abate
any of their good will for Mr.. Stickney in
doing so.
In giving the nomination to Maj. Grout
recognition and preferment will be con
| ferred on one whose army record will wiz
him the support of the veterans. In prac
tice at the bar Maj. Grout proved himself
a good lawyer He has served six terms ir
the legislature, three of them as speaker OF
the house. For 15 years past he has
prided himself most Of all on being a good
farmer, and has devoted himself to prac
teal work in that occupation. The essen
| tial thing is that he Is good all-rounC
Vermonter, and that is strong endorse
ment for any man.

Women as Lay Delegates.

The question of the admission Of
women as lay delegates to the general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church did not attract that attention In the
two conferences representing Vermont
that 1t has elsewhere nor did 1t excite that
degree of interest TO which the import
ance Of the issue entitled II. 1t Is really
the question of woman suffrage in nodi-
fed form transferred to a religious denom-
ination from the secular world and 1t fol-
lows that the admission of women to tho
general conference would be in the nature
OF an additional argument for woman sur
frage at the polls. although the conditions
would be materially different.
The detailed report of the proceedings OF
the Vermont conference at Barre treated
the issue as II II was barely considered, no
mention being made Of a discussion Of a
gcheral nature. A ballot was taken on the
question though. the proposed change.
which Is embodied in what is known as
the Baltimore amendment to the consti-
tuition. receiving fifty votes In Its favor
whilo only seven were recorded against It
which includes the Burlington district In

such personal attacks as are INDUCED in
by some Of the opposition newspapers.
This manly bearing on the part of Maj.
Grout Is credit to him and 1t shows that
he is a gentleman of noble character as
well as a man OF ability and experience.
for satisfaction over the growth of his
favor with the public. During the past few
days a representative of this journal was
informed by man In position to know
whereof he spoke that the friends of
Stckney in a county depended upon to
give him a strong delegation had prac-
tically given up the fight They had come
to this conclusion without the aid of any
outside pressure and in short had found
that his nomination would be TOO hard
shedding"
This is very significant statement, and
so far as we can learn 1t Is typical of the
movement in progress throughout the
state. Maj CIRCUITS strength as a public
man of capacity and experience Is known
of all men, and the clean canvass upon
which he has insisted so far as no could
control it, shows that he is also man OF
clean politics as we'll as of unim-
peachable integrity. Maj. Grout has
shown himself TO be just the kind of a
man that Vcrmonters want for governor
and judging from present indications they
are determined to have him.

Senator MorriiIs Well Regulated Life

Senator Morrill, would not be human
were he to be unaffected by the hearty
tributes that have come to him from all
directions during the past few days, but
we venture to say that no kind words are
more appreciated by the venerable Senator
than those spoken by the press and people
of his own State. In this connection our
readers will be pleased by the announce
ment from Washington that after working
all day Tuesday in the Senate and in his
committee room and standing to receive
congratulations from a thousand friends
more or less from to ~ Tuesday evening
the Senator was up at his usual hour on
Wednesday and at work in his committed
room at 10 n. m. Senator Morrill, evidently
finds regular work to be the true elixir OF
life and the present generation will do well
to profit by the example of his well rogu'
lated habits OF life.

church for about ten years. In 1883 the is
sue was taken into the general conference
when 1t was judlcially decided that the
constitution does not admit women. A
proposition was that year submitted to
the annual conferences providing for a
change that would admit women to the
general conference, but It was rejected.
In 1899 another proposition was submitted
to the annual conferences, looking to the
admission Of women as delegates "by con-
struction," but 1t also failed to commend
Itself to a sufficient number of the annual
conferences to assure its adoption.
Now in 1896 the old proposition Of 1888 to
change the constitution itself 80 that WON
en- may become delegates is again revived
and the question has been widely agitated.
During the past six months 1922 confer
ences, meeting for the most part in the
United States, but also at other points as
far distant as Sweden and China, have
been voting on this issue. A majority Of
their number have voted in favor of the
amendment, but a mere majority in this
case does not count. To confer upon wom-
en- the right of sitting In the highest of
Methodist councils 1t Is necessary to Sc
cure n three-fourths majority of the men,-
bers of the annual conferences and after
ward a two-thirds majority of the general
conference itself
All of the conferences have now voted
upon the woman amendment with few ex-
ceptiors and 1t Is believed that the project
has been defeated. The New York World
claims to have canvassed the results and
1t gives the present vote as 1892 in favor OF
the amendment and 1884 against it. 1t is
not believed that the remaining confer
ences can increase the vote in favor Of this
change to the necessary two-thirds, and
there viii remain only the direct appea
of the women to the general conference
itself
Four women have been elected lay dele
gates to the general conference alread,
this year in spite of the fact that they al
present have no recognized right to seats
in that body, and they will demand ad
mission. If the annual conferences arc
found to have rejected tho amendment, II
is claimed that tho general conference car
reverse its judicial decision and give these
women seats in the body II tho genera
will be where 1t was when the presen
| crusade began, but If the general confer
ence should admit these four delegates tn,
fight would be won for the women. w
| Other coatf>r 'HeA. questions will com,
before the general conference, which is tC
be held at Cleveland next month; bat tn,
issue regarding women delegates has over
| shadowed all others for obvious reasons
Many of tho advocates of the admission
of women to the general conference pro
test that this step will! not mean the ad
mission of women to ministerial orders
and membership in the general conference
but the opponents OF the limo ration insis
that the logic Of the case leads to no othe
conclusion. 1t can be seen. therefore, tina
the question is far-reaching, and the out
come win be awaited with intense inter
est not only in Methods. circles but by TIL
