THE wOMAN's CLUB.

The announcement by The Phoenix last
week of the prospect of a Woman's club
being formed in Brattleboro has aroused
much interest, and the informal meeting
to be held in the chapel of the Centre
church at o'clock Friday afternoon,
March ~, is sure to be largely attended.
1t may be well to state again that the aim
of the club is to unite women of all creeds
and shades of belief in broad and liberal
literary study. The movement has no
connection whatever with any woman
suffrage agitation.

As an American 10 American.

Theodore Roosevelt, in a st. Patrick's
day speech in New York, said he addressed
his hearers not as a Dutch-American talk
ing to Irish Americans, but simply as one
American to his brothers, his fellows.
"Tbe glory won by all Americans, of what
ever origin" he said, "forms part of the
heritage of each American. What is it to
us whether the forefathers of Sherman
came from England and the father of Sher-
idan from Ireland, or that Farragut was of
the blood of Spain? Each of us has a
right TO challenge as his own the memory
of the mighty deeds done by all these
great men. Every man who has toied or
fought for America has left every Ameri-
lean his debtor, has made every American
his countryman. We must act wholly
without regard to Old World feuds or Old
World prejudices. Above all, let us be-
ware of the man who seeks to stir up hos
tilities because of difference of religion or
national origin. 1t is an outrage against
good citizenship either to support or OPP
pose any American citizen because of his
creed or because of his birthplace"

Venezuelan boundary dispute, and not con-
