THEY MUST WAIT.
Governor Won't Recommend Equal
Suffrage Resolution.

Governor Hoch this morning as
sured delegation of seventy-five wo-
men who called upon him at the exc
curve of1ce that he was strongly in
favor OF the equal suffrage law, but
that he couldn't advocate it's consid-
GRAFTON at the coming special session
CT the legislature.
Il have always advocated equal
suffrage, said the governor ST have
never heard any argument against 1t
which seemed to be well founded I
have urged equal suffrage in my
newspaper, I have urged it from the
platform, 1 have preached it in po-
litical speeches when no one else was
preaching it. But at the coming spec
ial session of the legislature, I do not
think the opportunity good for press
ing this measure. The special session
was called for certain specific pur-
poses. I doubt the wisdom Of going
outside of those specific purposes. Of
course it rests with the legislature to
decide what it will do and what it
will take up, but 1 do not feel like
recommending them to consider wo-
mans suffrage
The rs women walked right in and
turned around and walked right out
again. They had had a very pleas
ant time, but had failed to accom-
plish their object.

petition, as well as the delegation
which called on the governor, was
headed by Mrs. Lila Day Monroe,
president of the Kansas Equal Suf-

The movement to inject the equal
suffrage matter into the special SEES

the conference between the women
and the governor was arranged for
10 O'Clock this morning.
The petition presented to the gov

Equal suffrage is not an academic
question. Four states, Wyoming
Colorado Idaho and Utah have en-
franchised their women, giving them
full and complete suffrage. 1t has
worked no harm, but rather has
made for better laws and cleaner
cities. And inasmuch as our women
of Kansas have had the right of mu-
nicipal suffrage almost 81 years, we
pray you to recommend unreservedly
and unqualifedly the granting to the
women of Kansas the right OF presi-

TAKE OFF TRAINS.
Santa Fe Decides to Retrench in Pas.
senger Service.

The Santa Fe is preparing to take off
some of its passenger trains to meet
losses of earnings in that department.
George T. Nicholson, third vice presi-
reporter for the State Journal this af-
ternOOn at the Santa Fe station.
1.-The reduction will be all over the
SYSTEM" he said, but Kansas and Ok
lahoma will suffer the most because
we are operating more trains in this
section than any other
I'VE are forced to this by reduced
earnings. In the month of December
our passenger earnings fell off $149,000.
OF this Sly, 600 was in states where two
cent fares rule, but that cuts no figure.
We are up against a condition, now,
and we must meet 1t all along the line.
The decrease probably will become
greater, and, in consequence, it is nee
essary for us to reduce the train SER
vice. For this we are now arranging.
I'VE cannot say just now what trains
will be taken off. In making the
changes, we will have in view the least
possible inconvenience to the public.
We will not take off trains which are
the least profitable, for that would
cause the most inconvenience to the
public. Lines which now have only one
train a day will not be disturbed. The
reductions will occur where lines have
two or more trains a day. On these
lines trains could be spared.
I'VE might have done this 80 or so
days ago and saved money, but we
chose to wait for a fair trial of two
cent fares. This we have had, and now
we are arranging to make the changes.

wish to concede defeat in advance of

lakoring classes in framing the demo-
cratic state ticket.
II suppose said Mayor Durgan.
that our democratic state convention
will nominate some large, fat, juicy
corporation lawyer for governor. 1t
would be a great mistake to do 50, for
the workingmen of Indiana are or
ganiZing themselves into political force
such as the state has never known.
They intend to make themselves felt.

at least in the election.
Il am reliably informed that the Or
ganized workingmen of the state have
picked out two prominent candidates
fer the democratic nomination for gov
ernor as targets for attack. and | re-
peat that we should be careful in fran
ing our ticket. The workingmen are
aroused. and demagogues who have
been putting the workingmen off with
promises will now have to perform"

GRAVEYARD TO Be

Thousands of Legislative Bills
Will Be Slaughtered
BY Congress.
WATSON Is A VICTIM.
TWO OF HIS PET MEASURES WILL

coNGRESsMEN AS BADLY HIT

Washington, Feb 20-By the end

the congressional graveyard will
be one Of the most populous cemeter-

The ratio of mortality among the
bills introduced in congress at the
present session is simply appalling
Nearly 10000 bills have been introduc-
ed with the benediction of their legis-
lative parents and, from indications,
about 10000 are marked for prema-
ture death.
Indiana bills have not escaped the
vengeance Of Speaker Cannon and the
leaders in the senate. A saber cut
from the senate bosses caused sena-
tor Beveridge's child labor bill to roll

Indiana Bills Slaughtered.
Over in the house the slaughter OF
Indiana bills has been terrific. All OF
the bills offered by Indiana democra-
tic congressman looking to the con-

been put to death. Following is a par
tial list of Indiana bills that have bit
the dust:
Mr. Chaney's bill providing for a

of print paper and wood pulp.

A Remarkable Record.

Hon. Carroll S. Page has been often
pointed out as Vermonts leading bus
mess man, and he has more than once
justified the title, but his latest
achievement seems to be the most re-
markable of his long and successful
career. During the past six months
and including the period covering the
most pronounced financial stringency
in decade he has increased the de-
posits of his bank at Hyde Park by
$235,0O0 through a campaign of news
paper advertising in the daily and
weekly papers of this state.
This achievement would have been
remarkable at any time, but in view
of the financial disturbances of the
past few months 1t is nothing less
than astonishing, yet when taken and
considered carefully the process seems
comparatively simple after all.
In the first place Governor Page who
has dominated the Hyde Park bank
has insisted on most rigidly conser-
vative methods, studying always the
security of the loan and the safety Of
the deposits rather than the prospect
OF big interest returns and financial
benefit to the directors. In this way
he and his bank have earned the con.
fidence of the saving people of Yer
mont and when he placed the facts
fairly and simply stated before the
newspaper readers of this state the re-
Spouse was immediate Money has
poured in from all over Vermont in
large and small sums, and it is noted
that when depositor in the Page
bank once begins an account he is
practically sure to add to it as fast as
possible.
Some of the other banking men of
the state have criticized Governor
Pages methods, but it seems to be due
more to jealousy than to any just
cause. and as business is known by
its results. the results in the case of
Governor Page and his bank speak for
themselves.
In this connection, too, the Banner
likes to call attention to the part play
ed by advertising. There are mer-
chants in Remington as well as in
every other town in Vermont, who
either do not advertise at all. or do it
so little and so carelessly that they
never get any benefit from it, but
nowadays no business is successful
in the long run without advertising.
This applies to practically everybody
and any man in business who fails to
make advertising a study and take ad-
vantage of the possibilities it affords
will never make the success that it
otherwise might.

OLD PEOPLE OF BENNINGTON
NEED VINOL
II Strengthens and vitaIizes.

With old age comes feebleness and
loss of power; the organs act more
slowly and less effectually; the blood
is thin, sluggish. and watery; diges-
ton is weak and food is not assimilat-
ed as it used TO be.
Vinol repairs worn tissues and
checks the natural decline. 1t tones
up the digestive organs, aids assimi-
lation, makes rich, red blood, and
strengthens every organ in the body.
In this natural manner Vinol replaces
weakness with strength.
Vinol is not a patent medicine but
a delicious cod liver preparation
which contains all the medicinal body
building elements of cod liver oil in a
concentrated form, taken from fresh
Gods livers, the useless oil eliminated
and iron tonic added.
II is because we know so well of
what Ninol is made that we offer to re-
turn money if it fails TO benefit w.
