In Bohemia, women taxpayers have

Louisiana is the only one Of the United

a vote on questions of local taxation, left
each woman the option OF casting her

TRULY the poor in the almshouse
of Kent County are under the care
of wise and good cartakers III the
persons of Mr.. and Mrs. Caulk, who
have brought the County farm and
the inmates Of the poor house into a
higher order of comfort and proht.
Their act in taking all OF the IN
mates for a days outing on the pay
shore at Bowers Beach last week
was a humane and thoughtful act'
which brought ray ofsunshine INTO
the lives of the unfortunate. Acts
like this are characteristic Of chris
tan people like Mr. and Mrs. Caulk'
and it is a pity, that through the
changing of politics changes should
be made in a management such
as theirs has been. We hope that
the reign of Mr.. and Mrs. Caulk
may be long continued for two rea'
sons first, that the helpless poor
NAV have the benefit of their wise
and sympathetic management an6
second, that the profitable manage
