trick of returning to several of the

money paid him, and then the suck
ers almost upset each other in their
scramble to buy I4-cent razors at ST.

which they parted from their hard
earned cash, and the sublime faith
that the hawker's indefinite intima-
ton of giving them big something
for nothing would be realized, was
truly pathetic. The hawkcr sue

"concave and convex ground and

were "seven wise men" threetold
more eager than the other sagacious
citizens, who invested in three ra-

"Guff" and the Governorship

There are few more weeks OF
campaign work, worry and talk and
speculation as to who shall be the
next governor-as to who is pre-
eminently fitted to fill the response
bic position of chief executive Of the
State of Vermont. This considera-
ton of candidates is mighty solemn
thing at distance, but are the real
managers of the Republican nomi-
mating machine much in doubt as to
how things are going-that is, leav-
ing MIR. Clement out of considera-
ton: He might upset the plans Of
the politicians, but unless he issues
proclamation soon there is appa,-
emily nothing to divert the business
channels, which has always meant,
and still means, the selection of a
man nnobjectionable to the powers
that be-ap 'executive" Who has
about as>'rn.'E!h.-%cal influence in the
affairs of state as a hill town pound
keeper, and whose administrative re-
sponsibility is confined to the dicta-
ton of annual proclamations and
speech-making. There is the honor,
but no hard work.
If there is one thing more than
another that substdntiates the charge
that a governor of the State is not
glorious flee agent it is the affinity
and harmonious kinship of his rail
road commissioners and the rali Dads
themselves. 1t costs life or limb
occasionally, but what of it, Wind
sor county has evidence enough of
this, and there are doubtless uncor
rected abuses elsewhere. The pub
lie now and then clamors tor protec-
ton. The railroad commission does
nothing; the railroads ask helpless
ly, "What can we do" And as no
one seems able to answer this famil-
lar conundrum the commission adj
journs to hold another solemn inves-
tigation up or down the line. Even
"farmer" governor can't help mat
tiers much. y Legislature little
closer in touch with the interests of
the people is not so helpless, and
the folks at home have this remedy |
in their own hands.

STATE PRESS.

The Burlington Daily News rises
to inquire what are the particular
pressing party needs this year that
render DeBoer's nomination indis-
pcnsable to success, as his support
ers claim. Cannot any man yet
named take care of them? We see
no indication OF any crisis in the
party. The assertion that neither
Stanton nor Bell if nominated can
command the party's support, so far
as we can learn, is mere talk, with
out anything substantial to back it
up. The Republican party in Yer
mont is hardly reduo ed to such an
extremity that only DeBoer can
save it from disruption and defeat.

Equal Suffrage Advance.

1t is noteworthy fact that today
100000 women are voting in dit.
ferent countries on the same terms
as men The women of Austraiia
last year were granted full parlia
mentary suffrage. They had had
municipal suffrage for many years.
In four of our own states, women
have full suffrage. In Wyoming
the women have voted from the ear
Hest days of the territory, and when
the question Of statehood arose and
there was objection in some quar-
tiers elsewhere than Wyoming to the
admission OF the territory as a state
under this condition of equal suf-
TRACE, the men declared they would
rather not be state than deprive
the women citizens of their votes.
Twenty-three states have school
suffrage. Vermont is one of these,
having passed in 1850 this law giving
school suffrage to all tax-paving
women. The tax-payine women
should avail themselves of this right
and at tie next town meeting cast
their votes for school committee
One state, Kansas, has municipal
suffrage.
The women of England have ali
but parliamentary suffrage.
The last session of parlia nent, the
house of commons voted in favor
of parliamentary suffrage for women
by the large vote Of TSs to 6S.
Wales, Scotland, Canada, No:.
way, Sweden have municipal suf-
frage.
Tax.paying women OF Russia have
some form of suffrage.
There are still many laws which
are unjust to women and children
and which call for redress. The TACT
that the mother is the legal guar
dian with the father of her children
in only IL states in the United States
is serious thing. The father can
give away the children and the
mother has no redress before the
law. 1t has been done by fathers.
In several states property laws are
unjust.
