The woman's brain is always less
thnu the mans. From BOyd's figures
we can pick out 1O2 men and lib wom-

average 1860 ounces, while those OF the

The matter of submitting the pro-
hibitory law to popular vote should
be persistently pushed to the front
and kept there. Every year the de-
mand for the submission of this vital
question to public opinion grows
stronger and stronger. 1t is right
and natural that it should, and if at
present it is obstinately ignored by
men who talk one way at home and
vote another way at Montpelier the
time is coming when the common
sense of the whole people will exert
a pressure that will be felt and heed
ed. Give the people chance to
vote on the question-there is no
fairness, honesty or decency in de-
nying them this privilege. If the
sentiment of the state is in favor,
overwhelmingly or otherwise, of
keeping the prohibitory law on the
statute books, or OF adding to its ter
rors, we'll and good. Now there is
some doubt as to the existence of
such sentiment, and a popular
vote, without affecting the law a
particle, would decide an interesting
question.

its candidate along too fast towards
Washington. There is considerable
