This song has strong topical interest,
and should be an absolute winner for

which we have not yet completed in

fellow called (why not n Charles, who,
DESTROYS OF witnessing the Durbar,
feels aeutely also the need of female
society.l
When Charlie first heard of the Dur
bar, he said,
by Jove, it'n be a fine show
A long distance, is itg / don't care, I'll
visit
The Indies. I'm frantic to 60"
But, fearing he'd pine on the way there
and back
In solitude day after day.

three opens sadly. Charles on Durbar

not had the heart to 90 alone. AT this

that appeared in the Montpelier Journal
that paper speaking as follows respect
ing the possible attitude Of the Ma
tional Life Insurance Co.'s agents in the
present gubernatorial campaign;
"In the progress of bis (DeBoer's)
campaign II win be interesting to learn
what course is taken by the agents
throughout the state Of the great fl
nancial institution of which he is the
executive head"
This suggestive question of The Jour
nails Mr.. DeBoer characterized as can
act of gross injustice"
Well, The Journal was not alone in
wondering what the attitude Of the
agents would be, and il was wholly
natural curiosity, but Mr.. DeBoer would
have done the same thing under the
same circumstances.
Again referring to The Journals re-
marks, Mr.. DeBoer sad
"The attempt to create an impression
that | would use that office, as Others
have been compelled to use their wealth
under the existing political system, in a
self.seeking canvass for Office is an act
of cruel and repulsive injustice"
Very well, Mr.. DeBoer, and now to
prove your sincereity we ask that there
be complete and spontaneous lempha-
sis on the spontaneous pleasel elimna-
tion of the political activity of the Ma
tional Life Insurance Co.'S agents in
your behalf and not alone the agents, but

Where the Responsibility Begins.

"Mr. DeBoer takes some Of the news
paper criticism like novice in politics
too seriously. Barre Times.
Perhaps so, in one sense. Men Of
delicate intellectual fibre, keen, sensitive
minds, are rather inclined to do this
very thing, and suffer from it, too, no
matter what bold front they put up to
the world
But there is another side to the prop
osition, esteemed contemporary. How
many newspaper editorial writers take
their responsibility for what they
write seriously? It is the easiest thing
Imaginable to spill printers ink all
over fair white virgin sheet Of paper
and give pain to somebody who may not
be truly conscious Of deserving it. More
than often there is no malicious intent
behind the article. More than often
there is no disposition to do a mean
or dishonest thing or to be unfair. But
just as often, and more, too, there is
lapse into thoughtlessness or flip
pancy that banters away some shred
of public good opinion of a man to make
a readable paragraph.
We folks that write and print opin-
ions of men in public life have great
responsibility poised upon the very tip
of our pens. We may not be so CON
ceited as to imagine that we can control
public opinion, but we do,-whether we
deserve it or Motive do certainly have
opportunities for helping to influence
public opinion that most Of our neighbors
cannot employ.
Some men may complain that So
an-So takes newspaper comment too
seriously. Suppose we turn the idea the
other way round.
If newspaper writer's do not take their
own work seriouslydo not realize the
mischief that may be bred of careless
pen-who Whilst. Adams Messenger.

tons with gubernatorial contests in 9TH

when instead Of waging an active cam
paign, he finally withdrew in favor Of
Gov. Bell. But in that year Mont
pelier had another citizen besides Mr..
DeBoer who was a candidate for the
nomination, and had been, if we mis-
take not. four years before and there
fore was the logical candidate Of Mont
pelier at least.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
By EDwTN A. NXE.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
A correspondent asks. Are you in
favor of woman suffrageT
Yes.
There is no good argument against
equal suffrage aud many for it.
4 With most thinking people, however,
the question has passed beyond the
mere right of women to vote. 1t is
ii question of the need of women's
vote to help settle many of the prob
lens that press for solution
Such, for instance. as
The protection of the home. the
housekeeping of cities and towns. the
security of labor, the treatment of de-
linquent children and many others.
The labor unions understand this, and
they strongly favor equal suffrage.
The question has come to the place
of the duty of women to vote.
Dr. Wiley says the women of the
country deserve the credit for the pas
sage of the pure food and drug laws.
In Colorado. where women vote,
Judge Lindsey tells US how when both
political parties had turned him down
1t was the vote of the women that
came to his rescue and made It pos

Juvenile court and do his work of

In Norway, Sweden. Australia, New

Nevada, Wyoming and Washington
when there is some large moral issue
at stake the women throng the polls
and invariably vote for the right.
Sometimes one may Judge of the
need of a reform by the character OF
its opponents.
The bitterest opponents of equal suf
frage are the machine politicians and
those who make a business OF pander
| ing to vice.
They know what 1t means.
