Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1909-12-23

The Rutland Herald maintains that this
paper msconstrued its position relating
to the punishment OF the sugar trust for
defrauding the government by false
weighing. It says it is willing the prose
cution should proceed but the govern
ment should not lend itself to raid on
tie holdings OF the 1900 small stock
holders. 1t wants the guilty ones pun
ished. Something the Herald said led us
to infer that it was nightly concerned
over the stock market rulings of sugar,
and we quite overlooked what else It said.
II any considerable part OF the value Of
sugar stock is due to the dishonest profits
realized from fraud praotised systemati-
cally for years, it will necessarily follow
that the stock will drop with the detec-
ton and stopping Of the imposition, and
while individual owners will be consid-
cred unfortunate, perhaps, and innocent
Of guile, they ought not to expect hnan-
cial immunity under the circumstances.

A teacher in a leading town in the state
figures that the grade teachers IN that
town are only averaging about a dollar a
day for Sl2 working days in the year.
This is little enough, to be sure, but
there must be compenssting advantages
that tend to keep the market pretty well
supplied, as compared with the demand.
Perhaps 1t is the short days and the rela-
lively small number OF them. Instead OF
si2, the full working year, there are only
about IFS actual teaching days in the
school year. For these the teachers in
the town noted receive at the rate Of near
" two dollars a day. Counting the time
that the grade teacher spends ont Of the
school room in her school work would
hardly make up the nine, ten or twelve
hour day that the Office assistant, the
clerk or the wage-earnlng young lady in
other pursuits puts 10, not only i've, but
six, days 10 the week. To balance this it
is fair to state that no other vocation re-
quires so much nerve strain, or stands
quite &C high in importaBce to the public.

ANOTHER CRY GARNER.

R. NJ. Bates, inspector of postal
service. was in the city several
days last week. AS the local post
master had made. the request that a
third carrier be added to the city de-
livery. Inspector Bates Investigated
the matter and recommended to
the postal department. that third
carrier be added. which will In no
doubt be approved. AS the city is
SO widely scattered and the routes
of the two carriers so long, it has
been almost impossible for them to
do satisfactory work with the
amount Of mail they have to handle.
1T is expected that the appointment
will be made effective by November
10. The third carrier will be Levi
D. Pride, who has been substitute
carrier. Clarence KLAUS will sue
coed Mr.: Pride as substitute.

VOTES FOR WOMEN IN DENVER

It was a decided mistake to give
women the right of the ballot says
a woman politician of Denver in Won
ans Home Companion for November.
But now that they have it, in my
belief it is as much the duty of a
woman to exercise that right as 1t
is for her to observe her religious
duties or to take proper care of
her home. The average woman is
least that is my observation. The
average woman politician is as bad
as the average man politician only
she is worse. If the rank and file
of women would join in one concert
Led movement to unseat both the
professional man and the professional
woman politician, then the right OF
franchise vested in women would
prove boon of fnestimable value.
Like many another woman, ] en-
tered politics with the idea Of puri-
flying the political atmos phere Since
then 1t has been a constant struggle
on my part to keep my skirts ,clean.
1t s much the same thing as a
woman marrying a man to reform
him. In nine cases out of ten he
draws her down to his own level in
stead Of being lifted to hers.
Women, generally speaking, vote
to please the men, There are those
who will take issue with his state
ment, but it is nevertheless true.
Perhaps 1t may be different after the
women are better educated in polit.
ical affairs, if that time should ev-
er come, but under existing condi-
ltions the women, vote as the men
suggest Left to themselves and
uninfluenced by the men, the WON
an vote would be chaotic. We would
MT know where we stood in an cleo
ton till after the votes were all
lin, because women are influenced by
all manner of things the ordinary
!, mortal would not reckon with. BY
way of example, a, really handsome
man is a. strong asset for any pc.
4llitical ticket in Colorado.
Women are by nature of a trust.
ing disposition in everything save
love affairs. 1t is therefore al
easy task for the men to control
their votes. For that reason in
planning a campaign we decide upor
candidates and principles that Will
/, appeal to the men and then leave
!. it to them to win their wives, moth
J, ers. sisters or sweethearts over t.
! their views"

Kansas has a new affiicti on. This
time It Is not political, but ontomolog-
icaL II apoea IS. from resea rches and
Investigations made by the Department
of Agriculture that a serious invasion
OF ants has s1uCk the country, and In
a report on the subject made by au-
thority OF tie department. some start
ling tales are told Of The doings Of
these ants, Of their savage ferocity,
their disposition to attack man. and
their intelligence.
To begin with, they are mound build
ers. The Government experts find these
are much as six feet In diameter and
sometimes two feet high. All vegetation
for a distance Of five 70 ten feet around
the mounds is removed and the mound
is built in the exact geometrical center
OF the cleared space.
One Of the strange features about the
mounds is that they have a number of
funnel-shaped openings through which
the ants pass in and out. These OPEN
ings are closed about sunset or during
the day at the approach of a storm and
opened in the morning at about 8 or 8
O'Clock IN summer. The closing is done
so we'll that a very close examination
is necessary to determine where the
openings have been.
1t appears the ants take a siesta on
hot days. "Or hot days in summer" so
the Official reports runs, 1.-THE work
ers ret0rn to the mound before noon
and re;Gain inside during the hottest
