The Approaching Holidays

The holiday season now approaching
will be gladdened by national prospects.
Nature has given us magnificent bounty
of crops, the horizon of nature is un'
clouded, business and industries are in a
healthy condition and even the prospect
OF future tariff changes has not excited
any apprehensions. Most fortunate we
are too, that we have no foreign rela-
tons to embroil us in possible European
war. If that dreaded event should hap
pen we will be distant spectators feeling
secure that none OF its horrors can reach
our land except in story. The high cost
of living will continue throughout the
holidays and we may expect little relief in
that way until the country is given a re.
medal legislation.
The people may not have so much to
spend for Christmas things in consequence
of the expense of living, but they cannot
help but compare conditions in this coun-
try and Europe and feel all the more of a
holiday spirit. In view of The national
blessings there should be a hearty OBJ
servance of thanksgiving.

One Exception,

A certain cruel landlord, by name
Lord Skinner, had a very ugly, de-
formed nose. He was great old
"boaster," and was so conceited as to
have placarded on his gate that men
and money could do anything"
A poor Irishman, happening to pass
by one day, and seeing the writing,
wrote just beneath it in chalk:
But all the money from Cork to
Mas wouldn't put a beautiful nose
on old SINNERS face"
Needless to say, the placard was

The Prohibition party, which was
among the first to declare for women
suffrage, was sure that when women
gained the right to vote they would sup
port the Prohibition ticket The "drys''
seem to be mistaken about this, for ac-
cording to The Denver Republican, wo-
men in Colorado not only did not vote
for the proposed prohibitory amendment
in that state, but worked against it and
were chiefly responsible for defeating the
proposition. Nevertheless, we believe
that if women were given the right to
vote in Vermont, they would support
Prohibition-not that they would en-
dorse the Prohibition party in toto, but
that they would see to it that other par
ties had Prohibition plank in their plat
form. For this reason we believe other
parties are shy on giving women the
right of suffrage in Vermont. -
