WOMAN AT HOME--
SHE NEEDS HELP

The woman of the home-her
rrievance-most of us never
bought of them. She has no bust
aess agent. no walking delegate, to
demand shorter hours, better living
conditions, better ventilation, bet
Ter treatment.
Here's a letter that makes peo-
pie think. 1t came In the editors
mail this morning. We are run
nihg 1t because it taps an entirely
new territory-Or rather, 1t taps
the oldest territory In the world.
Previously our knowledge of this
las come only with the divorce
court. Perhaps if more of The
Press readers will tell us about
This matter. husbands eyes may be
opened before matters reach the
courts. Here is tine letter:

1t isn't mems fault-that is, their

That's what is the matter with

A western WOODEN mill has recently copy
righted the totem pole blanket and we
have the exclusive agency for them.
They are heavy 4-pound blanket with
totem pole design woven through the

They are the afterglow of the A.-Y.-P.

appreciate one of them for an automobile

They may be used on bed or as couch
cover. See them in our drapery depart

Womens News---F ads3; Fancies and Fashions

EN-, and I want all the other wives
in Seattle to help open their eyes.
What would happen If the
law prohibiting the "empIoy-
irg of female over 10 hours
In ~" were enforced in the
home? The average wife in a
home of moderate means, who
does the general housework
for tho family, Is on duty from
ID to is hours every day. She
may not be at hard work every
hour Of that time, but she isn't
Through" until the last light
Is turned out in the house and
the family is in bed.
In poorer homes the wife often
carries on the whole work of her
own household and takes in wash
ing, besides. Keeping house" is
no doll play. There is no compari-
son between the work done by the
husband and wife of moderate
means. Even the man of moderate
means hires his office swept and
cleaned or his place of business
made ready by hired help. His
wife does her own sweeping, mop
ping and housekeeping. He works
with his mind, she works with her
hands. Her home Is her shop.
When evening comes, If she
isn't too dead tired, the wife
would like to shut it up and go
out. The husband has been
down town all day, the home is
his refuge, he wants to stay
there. He left his shop and
work down town and has come
home to a pleasant change.
The wife has washed or ironed,
swept or baked or seWed all
day in her workshop, and she
would like to get away from it.
The husband complains that his
wife is not domestic" Does she
call him poor business man be-
cause he doesn't stay in his office
or store all day and all night?
Well have to "agitate," stir
up the question until men see
the unequal working conditions
and conveniences of women in
the homes. When they see it
they'll do something.
Lord, open their eyes.

This Salary Raise Warranted

In raising the salary of the states
attorney of Bennington county from
$500 to $1,000 the recent Vermont leg
islature must have had vision of the
future, for States Attorney Meagher
has certainly been called upon to earn
the increase. During the past few
weeks he has had a supposed murder
case in Pownal real murder case in
Bennington, liquor case to argue in
supreme court, a habeas corpus hear
ing in the United States district court,
two or three larceny cases. several
prosecutions for illegal fishing, be-
sides quite a number of smaller cas-
es, not to mention his getting ready
for the term of Bennington county
court and the grand jury. States At
torney Meagher is glutton for work,
however, and he is spreading out his
activities to cover the multitudinous
calls which are being made upon him.
But the salary of the states attorney
there is none too high at $1,000. In
fact If the state were to pay accord
ing to the amount of work imposed on
the officials, States Attorney Meagher
would be getting as much as States
Attorney Gates of Washington county
is getting, which is s1,700 per annum.
Instead of finding fault vita the raise
of the Bennington county prosecutors
salary, the state ought to raise it still
more.-Barre Times.
The Times is certainly right There
is not a more energetic, painstaking
states attorney in this state than VIII
liam j. Meagher. states attorney of
Bennington county He is only doing
what his friends knew he would do
when elected, his full duty, and If he
is doing as much as some of the $500
states attorneys, the Journal hopes
that the salary for that officer for this
county will be raised at the next SEES
sion of the legislature. Mr.. Meagher
has certainly made d.-Manchester

The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

In a moment of undue yenturesome-
ness not unmixed with levity we sug-
gested the other day that inasmuch as
a number of gubernatorial posslbili-
ties nad run the gauntlet, II might be
well to consider lieutenant-governor
possibilities. Promptly upon the hour
of it's next appearance the Morrisville
News and Citizen rose to the fly and
the folling was the result:
The Free Press asks for "Lieuten-
ant governor possibilities. Well,
here are some for starter; Ernest
w. Gibson of Brattleboro, Frank NJ.
Cory of Montpelier, Fred T. Kidder of
Woodstock, Joseph T. Gleason OF Lyn-
don. These are all members of the
present Senate but that fact may dis
bar them from serious consideration.
They are all good men, just the same,
and would make able presiding officers.
Besides these there is Porter N. Dale
of Islam Pond, j. F. Hooker of Brat
tleboro. VIII Lord of Montpelier, L..
p. Slack of st. Johnsbury, II. G. Bar
Der of Brattleboro and last but not
least Luther b. Johnson of Randolph.
These are all least siders," where
suitable material is not as plentiful
as on the west side. Were there no
limit as to locality we could mention
others-especially from Lamoille
county.
We would mildly venture to intim-
ate that we did not suggest a deluge,
but simply trickling stream of pos
sibilities. However, if the public
will forgive us for this single offense,
we solemnly promise not to become
responsible for another list of this
character even indirectly.
There are a few points about this
list of possibilities which will bear
consideration. Vermont is so beset
with geographical rules and one-term
presidents and rotation regulations,
that we are inclined to depreciate the
intimation that the entries of the class
first named are all members of the
present Senate.
We are already confronted by the
fact that aspirants for the supreme
bench often act on the supposition
that by becoming a member of one
branch of the legislature they will in
crease their chances of landing judg-
ship. We sincerely trust that the no
ton will not become prevalent that
in order to be elected lieutenant gov
ernor of the state one ought to be-
come a senator.
We are treasured, however, upon
scanning the list further and noting
that it includes a number of men who
have been in the body before, or who,
in otner words, are past senators.
In the meantime if the last should
be first among those mentioned, the
newspaper men of Vermont would
feel that they were thoroughly rep
resented, although there is not man
on the list to whom people would OBJ
ject and as the contemporary sug-
gests, the list might be largely ex-
tended.-Burlington Free Press.

"Why not talk about at Greater Yer
mont? We can all work for it, If we
only will Free Press.
TIE Greater Vermont or the New
Vermont" has been in progress of
for several years past.
1t is no longer necessary TO approach
the subject with any hesitation or
qualifications whatever 1t is an ac-
cepted fact by everybody except few
that don't want to see 1t now because
they didn't see it first.-St Adams

Thus modestly does the apostle of
the new Vermont state truth mani
fest to everybody not grown blind
through gazing at themselves and
their own little interests. The New
Vermont is already here, has been
for several years and in spite of some
setbacks and few croakers is steadi-
ly growing newer and better Those
who find "a winter sunset fairer than
a morn of spring" are welcome to
their outlook but Vermont as state
has passed them up. Forward, for

The large demand for fish fry for
stocking streams in this state the
present season shows that the recent
legislature used good judgment in its
decision to maintain the Vermont fisn
hatchery at Roxbury.-Northfield
News.
After the way the drouth killed off
the trout in the breeding streams last
fall it would have been the height of
folly for the state to have thrown up
the Roxbury hatchery at present.
Trout fishing is the finest and clean
est sport in Vermont and should be
fostered, not destroyed.

Lieutenant Governor Mead will be
accused of trying to further his poll
teal fortunes through advancing
money to the state without security
so that the state may meet its obli-
cations in the department Of justice,
but it is a public spirited thing to do
nevertheless. No matter where the
fault lies it is not a pleasant thing to
have our commonwealth owing money
for a year and half and much of it
to men of small income who cannot
afford to wait If DR.. Mead advances
the money as has been reported he
deserves due credit for so doing.

TO HESITATE LONG is TO FAIL
Successful Business Man Must Have
Attribute of Courage.

Many a man fails because he does
not dare to take risks, to take the
Initiative.
When do you expect to do anything
distinctive in life? When do you ex-
pect to get out OF the ranks of
mediocrity? The men who do original
things are fearless. There is lot Of
dare in their makeup, a great deal OF
boldness. They are not afraid to take
chances, to shoulder responsibility, to
endure inconvenience and prtvation.
There never was a time when the
quality of courage was so absolutely
indispensable in the business world
as it is to-day. It does not matter
how many success qualities you pos
sess, young man, if you lack courage
you will never get anywhere. Not
even honesty or perseverance will
take its place. There Is no substi-
tute for courage.
It does not matter how well edu-
Gated you may be, or how good train
ing you may have had for your voca-
ton, if you are a hesitator, If you
lack that courage which dares to risk
all on your judgment, you will never
get above mediocrity.
The men who stand at the top of
their line of endeavor stand there be-
cause they have the courage of their
convictions. They had the courage
to climb, had the nerve to undertake
even against the advice of others
