A BUSINESSLIKE WOMAN.
One Who Easily Proved Her Sex
Capable of a Practical Turn
Of Mind.

of woman's capability for business at
the annual meeting of the Woman'n
Suffrage Association of New England
He said:
81 happen to be trustee of Vassar
college. AT first 1 shared with all my
fellows the old-time feeling about it's
not being quite possible for women to
be dignifed and intelligent in business
matters of a corporation charged with.
the management of great institution-
I well remember when the alumna of
vassar finally persuaded the trustees
to let them nominate three women to-
be fellow trustees with us. There were
81 of us on that board of trustees, and
all of them except the present speakers
were very distinguished gentlemen.
1--WE had before us grave problem, as
the city of Poughkeepsie had de-
termined that we must do something
about the sewerage of the college. We
had spent money and money and money
in endeavoring to remedy its defects,
but the city still followed us up and
threatened us with suits. The mat
ter was brought up IN the Doard OF truS-
tees, aud we were at our wits end,
when woman got up in the board, and,
in very simple and modest fashion,
she said: Gentlemen, think if you
would follow this plan you would sue
ceed.' And she went on and outlined q
plan in detail, giving US specifications.
probable cost, probable amount OF
time, just what would need to be done,
all in the most methodical and business
like and clear fashion that you can im-
agine. We all gasped. We saw at once
that she knew what she was doing and
that she was talking from actual knowl-
edge of the facts, and we adopted her
plan. That woman was Mrs. Ellen FL.
Richards, of the Massachusetts, insti-
tute of technology"

JUDGE READ NOT A CANDIDATE.
Has Had Enough of Politics Deep Re
gret Among Mr.. Reads Friends.

The following will be read with sincere
regret by the friends Of Judge L. M. Read
not only in Windham county, but through
out the second congressional district and
the state at large.
BELLOWS FALLS, VI.
Nov /, 1899.
Mr.. EDTToR:-
Since the last congressional convention
it has been generally understood that |
would be candidate for nomination by
the convention to be held next year, and
when inquired of | have made answer that
| was still ''in the feld'"to take my chances
with the rest. As matters have shaped
themselves, it has become apparent that to
hope for success must enter upon con-
test requiring personal effort on my part
in the way of soliciting the support of
friends and of people supposed to have
influence in their respective localities.
This I am unwilling to do. l have no
claim" upon the office or upon the peo-
pie and in fact have had enough of politics.
| deem it best therefore to announce
through the TINES that am no longer
candidate. My withdrawal is in the inter-
est of no particular person.
l.. M. READ.
Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1899-11-02

No thoughtful, unprejudiced person car
read this candid, clear-cut statement with
out admiring the man back of 1.-THE man
who, in spite of so-called modern method:
in politics, still holds to the policy which
has become little more than tradition, that
the office should seek the man. 1t is sad
comment on current political methods.
when the doors of political preferment are
barred to our ablest men, our worthiest
citizens, because to win there must be'fper,
sonal effort in soliciting support, task
highly distasteful to any man with the least
regard for ethics. 1t is true that Judge
Reads standard is too high, too ideal, for
a subsidized and polluted political arena,
yet it is the standard of the best citizen
ship and the greatest statesmen in the
earlier history of both the nation and the
state.
The TINES had sincerely hoped that
notwithstanding the multiplicity of candi-
dates Judge Read would consent to again
become candidate and at least stake the
outcome on fight in Windham county.
While we think he was entitled to the
united support of the county in the next
convention, and that, if there had been no
other candidate in this county, he would
have received the nomination and election,
we also believe that with another candi-
date, he could have easily secured ma
jority of the county delegates. In such an
event, and especially with the showing
made in the convention last year, any
other candidate from this county would
have allowed his name to go before the
convention with results disasterous to his
ambition.
Judge Read, however, says he has had
enough of politics and his friends must
abide by the decision. In his refusal to
again become candidate, the district
loses the possible services of an able man
and patriotic, conscientious citizen with
high civic and political standards.
