MASON g. STONE.

Mason S. Stone, who is holding edu-
cational meetings hereabout, assisted
by various Vermont speakers, is one of
the most remarkable men on the state S
payroll. He has many idiosyncrasies,
but one of his chief personal qualities
is a practically faultless memory for
names, faces and localities. 1t is doubt
full if any other man i'm the state can
call more men by name, remember
where they are from and recall some
thing about their local conditions.
Stone is also extremely well posted
on state agriculture and can discuss
butter tests. balanced rations and the
good points of dairy cow with the
best of the grangers. He knows good
deal about state forestry, botany and

Vermont Senator Entertained.

The informal reception given at Maple
Hall Oakland, Calf, to Hon. w. P.
Dillingham;, U. S. Senator from YER
mont, by the Vermont Association of
Alameda county, was the occasion for
a large gathering of former residents
of the Green Mountain State, over one
hundred being present.
After a general social period, short
musical program was rendered by En-
est l.. Shaw, Mrs. Eva j. Evans, Miss
Blodgett, Mrs. Weston H. Rice, Mrs.
Alfred Fay, Fred Scott, and recitations
by Miss Makins. Following this Sena-
tor Dillingham; made few very inter
esting remarks about Vermont and the
large number of its sons and daughters
who have helped to build up the newer
states of the great west. A pleasant
evening was enjoyed by all.
During the afternoon the Senator
was taken for ride through Oakland,
Berkeley, Alameda and Fruitvale by S.
E. Fox, NJ. o. Evans, Jr., and w. P.
Prick. He expressed great surprise at
the rapid development and present size
of the cities on this side of the bay and
was greatly charmed with the large
number of beautiful homes and of ex-
cellent streets.
Returning from the ride, the Senator
was dined at the Hotel Metropole by the
gentlemen of the association.

media County" extends cordial invita-
ton to any Vermonters who may visit
this part of California to make them
selves known to the president 81. Z.

good working knowledge of the state S
resources and possibilities as any man
in Vermont. He talks well, and has an
original way of putting things that al
ways gets attention.
Stone is shameless politician when
his department wants things" in the
legislature, and he has faculty of get
ting them without much wire-pulling.
He ism t ashamed to ask a member to
vote for what he wants and can gener-
ally give good reasons.
Provided, always, that Stones theo-
ries and actual conditions can be made
to harmonic, the Herald is inclined to
think that he is doing good work for the
state and is entitled to loyal support. -

THE MIDWAY.

To the fair management there are
two views of the midway. Most of
them will we think agree with the
Brattleboro Phoenix that it has no ed
vocational value but it is worth some
thing to the society in dollars and the
dollars have to be sought to pay pre-
miums, stakes, etc. Many fairs would
be at a loss to fill its place were it dis
pensed with not having other features
to put in its place. 1t appeals to a
class, perhaps not the Brattleboro fair
class but frequenters of our local fairs
would not be happy unless there was a
midway to get gay over and to spend
their money on. Fair Haven Era.

THE sUFFRAeETTEs' REVENGE.

Piqued by masculine ridicule and
thoroughly angry because the world
does not pause to accord them proper
acclaim, the Logansport, Ind, women
suffragists have been driven to
unique plan Of revenge, By due proc
ess of resolution these Indiana women
have decided that hereafter they will
drop their husbands first names and
be known only by their own. They
are unwilling to share the glory of
their deeds with their puny consorts
and have struck for liberty. But the
strangest part of this programme is
that these women will no longer toler-
ate the Mrs" before their names;
she who formerly was Mrs. John
Smith will now be plain Mary Smith.
Correct social usage, we believe, has
established certain canons of style in
connection with womens names. The
unhappy slffragette who has linked
her destiny with an unsympathetic
husband, however, disregards conven.
ton as she disregards her own COM
fort and peace of mind. Ordinarily
she has been quite satisfied to be
known in her entirely respectable and
proper name Of Mrs. John Smith. But
the spirit of revolt, which spurs her to
deeds of political prowess also i'm
presses her with the CALLING chains of
domestic subserviency. First she is
Mrs. Mary Smith, and then by an arbi-
trary amputation she becomes Mary
Smith. 1t is hll very simple and very
foolish. JustS what these strong
minded women expect to gain by such
an exhibition is not plain, but the be-
lfttlement of the husbands is unmis-
taxable.
Many suffragettes make this COM
mon error of seeking to advance their
cause by minifying their own hus-
bands. The wife of honest John Smith
may imagine that she grows in i'm
portance by eliminating the MRS.
John" and substituting her own name,
but the world knows better. II the

unhappy woman happens to be a wild
ow, it is proper that she should use
her own first name, but always with
the Mrs" attached. This indicates
her status. But the woman who is
not a widow and who merely wishes
to slight mankind in general by using
only her own given name, without
even the matrimonial prefix, is ridicu-
lous in the eyes of all sensible people
and she brings derision upon the cause
she seeks to promote.

result in gettingfi the four, or any

CUBA'S FREEDOM.

The Birmingham Ledger is one
among that large number of ably edit
ed newspapers which seriously doubts
the ability of the Cuban people to pre-
serve an Independent government.
Discussing the new republic, the
Ledger says:
Already reports come of small dis
cords between the natives and the
Americans who have gone there. It Ia
to be expected that there will be dis
cord. Our ways are not as their ways
and We are looked upon as intruders.
1t may be that there will be instances
of real trouble when Cuba is free
from American domination. That is
always the case when such conditions
are present. OF course our army will
have to go back and repossess Cuba.
1t is not fit to be independent. and the
worst element will dominate in a short
time because ther are more unfit peo-
pie in Cuba. Their new government
is proceeding on the idea that the
people want peace and industry, and
really those are the two things that
those people want least"

CONDITION OF THE NATIONAL
FINANCES.


In a ten-year period ending with
June 80, 1907, the government had sur
piuses in six years and deficits in four
years. Just now it is experienciCs
deficits, but it is in no danger of bank
ruptcy. On December 81 last It had
an available balance OF $163, 1853, 352.
A government with saeh a balance
need not fear def4ett in even a dull
trade year.
Congress is not alarmed, for it is
preparing to order the construction of
two more Dreadnoughts, and it is not
reducing expenditures in any direc-
ton, unless it be in the matter of
rivers and new public buildings, all of
which it no doubt thinks can wait.
The truth is, our deficits are largely
due to an increase of 20 per cent in ma
tional expenditures in the last ten
years, and the receipts in a period of
commercial inactivity are not suf-
ficient to meet them. The next con-
gress is expected to adjust receipts
to expenditures, and if it would act
up to its sense of justice, it would levy
an income tax SIMPLIFY because it is
the most easily borne tax in the entire
list.
