" That was a correct plea and one in the
right direction made by President Thomas
in his baccalaureate sermon at Middle
bury College Sunday, when he appealed
to the members of the graduating class
to cast their fortunes With the small hill
towns of New England-towns which,
as he says have been losing population
for more than half century. Said Mr..
Thomas: Leadership is all that is
needed. Who of you will go to live in
a hill town of Vermont, not where there
is the best job, but where there is the
greatest need? One man OF the right
calibre and the right power could lift a
a whole community. One community
so inspired would change whole county,
and one county leading the way, the
whole state would follow"

wipe the village of Newbury off the map
Eighteen buildings in the village were de
stroyed, among them the old Newbury
Seminary, the Sawyer house, Hale's gen

smith shop of Peter Chase, in the north
end of the village. The village has nc

ing and the sparks were carried across
the street. In a short time, in spite Of
the heroic efforts of the voluntary fire,
men, the Advent church and row o.
tenement houses were ablaze.
The flames swept to Maple street, de-
stroying Swazey's boarding house. a two
story structure, and the residence OF M
c. knight The residence of James b.

general store of Mr. Hale, large three
SIoly

southwark over the common and the
Newbury Seminary, a historic landmark
of brick, was burned.
Sparks fell on the Sawyer house, a large
four-storv frame hotel and it was soon a
mass of flames. In an incredibly short
period the residences of Mrs. r. Cobleigh,

A Suffrage Victory

Eastward the course Of suffrage takes
its way By vote of SO to So the IL
linois house has passed suffrage BILL
If the Governor signs the bill, and he
probably will, Illinois will be the first
state east of the Mississippi river to give
considerable vo ing power to women.
The new law opens the ballot to wo-
men for all statutory Offices and Presi-
Dental electors and on all propositions
submitted to the people. However, they
cannot vote for state officers, as this
would require constitutional amend
t1ent.
Ten states now permit women to vote
They are: Wyoming, Colorado, Utah
Idaho, Washington, California, Arizona
Kansas, Oregon and Illinois.
This hard won victory for women If
such an important commonwealth as
Illinois is very encouraging to the cause
and must needs have marked effect up or
other states, several of which will vote
on the question next year.
The cause, seems to have conquered The
chivalric, gallant west, which is reader
to adopt reforms than the effete self-satis
fed east, which is generally suspicious Oh
Indifferent to things new. But " Votes
for Women" is advancing over thu
