The Vermont Woman's Suffrage
Association held its annual meeting in
Barton last week. The members of
this association are putting forth
every energy to secure equal suffrage
for their sex, but in the opinion of
the writer they are not exerting
themselves in the right direction to
win in the near future. The work is
in the hands of few women who are
constantly petitioning the legislature
for equal suffrage. If these ladies
will discontinue their petitions for a
time and agitate the question
throughout the state until they have
a large majority of their sex strongly
in favor of the movement there will
be no further trouble. 1t Is not the
men but the women who stand in the
way. The ladies if urged by their
friends will sign petitions asking for
equal suffrage but they will not ask
their husbands or sons to help them
to obtain the ballot. Equal suffrage
will never be forced upon the ladies
but when a large majority of the
women of Vermont insist on having
the ballot they will get it.

or know of to the license board.
This, he adds "would not be any
busy body meddling' on our part but
only plain duty to neighbors and the
community; for the man drunk is
menace to life and property generally,
as well as to family, and we have no
more right knowingly and repeatedly
to let him run at large than the
maniac"
That is all right in theory but il the
police "run in" every intoxicated
man they see the jails wouldn't be big
enough to hold them, and besides the
police officer who did that sort of
thing would cease to be guardian of
the law and become, in the eyes of
the public, a consummate fool. This
was true under prohibition and 1t is
Just as true under license, and fur
thermore the man who reported
every drunk he saw or heard of would
be frowned upon just as much under
the new regime as under the old.
Human nature was not changed when
license succeeded prohibition, and
whatever liquor laws the legislature
may frame it will always remain as it
has been since the days of Adam

Burlington Chief of Police Suspended.
Mayor j. E. Burke notified E. F.
Brownell, chief of police, June 6, that
charges had been preferred against
him and gave him an opportunity to
send in his resignation before the
charges were made public. Chief
Brownell replied that he did not wish
to resign and Mayor Burke promptly
suspended him and asked for the keys
to the police office. Chief Brownel
told Mayor Burke that he might have
a key to the Office, but that he
(Brownell) should continue to fill the
duties of the office. He said that he
had taken legal counsel and that il
had been determined that the chic
could not be suspended pending ar
investigation. Later he gave up the
office. Mayor Burke paid no atten'
ton to the action of Chief Brownell
but considered him suspended. He
approached Officers Cosgrove ano
Ryan and offered them the position o.
chief, but they refused and Mayor
Burke constituted himself chief anC
called the police officers together anG
gave them instructions as to theil
duty. The charges against Chic
Brownell have not yet been made
public, but are said to be excessive
partisanship, the same as the charges
against Officer Brothers.

A LICENSE MANS CRITICISMS.

In letter to the Ph8nir G. II. Dav-
export gives his impressions of the
new license law in Brattleboro. Mr..
Davenport, it will be remembered,
was a strong advocate of the proposed
change in Vermont's liquor regula-
tions and his address on the subject
in Montpelier last winter was strong,
fair minded argument in favor of the
license system. AS might be expect
ed from the man, Mr.. Davenport ex-
presses his ideas as freely against the
failures of license as he did against
the failures of prohibition and for this
reason his opinions are of decided
value. He says:
"Friends of the new local option Ii
cense law note with dismay, and some
of them with qualms of repentance,
the multitudinosity on our streets of
the 'manwith Jag since the Ii
censes went into operation. myself
stood on the streets couple of hours
the other forenoon to see FIVE of them
stagger by, and candid and intelligent
citizens tell me of seeing many times
that number on some days, and es-
pecially Saturday evenings. 1t is not
to be denied that the situation is seri-
GUS"
This is a frank admission, and
though it refers to Brattleboro alone
any casual observer in Montpelier,
Barre or doubtless any other license
place in the State, must of necessity
tell the same story if he is disposed
to be fair and candid. The police OF
Montpelier state that drunkenness
has decreased under the new law.
This may be true, for the officers who
are on duty night and Cay have a
wider field for observation than does
the ordinary citizen whose business
requires his attention by day and de-
mands a fair amount of sleep at night
1t is true, however, that during the
hours when the streets are most fire.
quenteJ, the spectacle of men Keeling
under the influence of liquor is far
more frequent than in the days oil
prohibition and it is gratifying to find
a license man willing to admit it.
Continuing, Mr.. Davenport says:
''It also goes without saying that the
new system will die ayearling if these
conditions continue. Nor need we be
surprised, nor should we complain
that prohibitionists chuckle, or ever
IL many of them are disposed to lei
things 90 at their worst in the belief
that it will only render more certain
a return to what they believe to be
the only right way of dealing with the
subject. This, in part at least, is only
a parallel to the attitude of many Ii.
cense men under prohibition and il
only makes palmer and more imper-
alive the duty of the believers in the
new law as a measure of the best pub
lie policy"
Mr.. Davenport advocates the policy
OF police officers running in" every
drunk they see, and further that every
person ought to hand in the name Of
every intoxicated person they see

rant makes the specific charge of EN-.
bezzlement of $4,000. Watson was
not bonded and in case he or bis rel
