Pat Farrell of Vermont

Senator Carroll S. Page of Vermont is
the most howling Pat Farrell man in
town-which being translated means that
if the President should see fit TO appoint
Patrick J. Farrell member of the Inter-
stale Commerce Commission, the dgni-
fed Republican senator would be delight
ed to see Democrat thus honored, con-
sidering that Republican cannot get the
place. Here is an incident that shows
what kind of man Pat Flrrell is" said
Senator Page. "He used to be connected
with bank up in Vermont which once
got into difficulties. Thin.s looked squal-
ly, and Pat Farrell, who was treasurer,
got the directors together in a room and
told them a few things. He suggested
line of policy and informed them that if
they would stand by him he would pull
the bank through. When the directors
came out they talked things over. What
Pat Farrell says is So they all agreed
finally, They let Farrell have his head
and the bank came out all right. Thai
is the kind of a man Pat Farrell is. =

Catching Cold by Telephone

Oh yes, it's often done. Why not? The
telephone transmitter is exposed to the
moist breath of every one who uses it.
Germs stick to the moistened surface,
live long and prosper Anyone who talks
with mouth close to the transmitter stirs
up the germ family and breathes in a
number proportionate to the length OF
time he is at the telephone. If it is a
stormy day and receivers are down along
the line for benefit of "shut-ins," this
will probably be from fifteen minutes to
half on hour.
Some of the worst colds caught this
winter will be got from the telephone
and many of those thus acquired will be
made worse in the same way
Clean the transmitter every now and
then. Keep some simple thing like am
monia or peroxide ofhydrogen handy, out
of the children's reach, and wipe the
transmitter with it before using. In pub
lie places the receiver also should be
cleaned frequently. Other diseases, be-
sides colds, can be caught by telephone.
AS final precaution let us suggest never
90 to the telephone only when your call
is rung.

Why the Christmas Tree?

nate Epson CidrK III LeSlleS
We have been asked why Christmas is
generally celebrated by the hanging of
gifts upon tree, and why. even if there
are no gifts hung upon it, decorated
evergreen tree should be symbol of
Christmas 1t was not until early in the
sixth century that the date of the Nativ-
ity was fixed by the church fathers upon
December 25 Ia the latter part of the
s venth century lived the great German
Saint Bonifare There is legend that
group of b uIds had gathered under a
great oak IN North Germany to offer
human sacrifice TO Thor on Christmas
day Boniface, discovering them, for
babe the murder, saying that better
God than Thor had appeared, and He
would not tolerate human sacrifice. All
around were evergreen trees. BoDiface
pointed to them and said, "As they are
forever green, so does my Gods love last
forever" The Druids were converted
by his eloquence, spared the sacrifice,
and took the evergreen as symbol,
which every year on Christmas day they
placed in their homes in token of their
new faith; and the custom spread through
all classes.

Slow But Steady Progress

Women of the United States have equal
suffrage with men in nine states-Wyom-
ing, Colorado Utah, Idaho, Washington.
California, Oregon, Arizona and Kansas
and in one territory, Alaska. Illinois
gave women partial suffrage last July.
They cannot vote for Governor nor for
members of the state legislature, but
have a right to express their choice for
all other state and national officers.
Equal suffrage amendments have pass
ed the legislatures of North and South
Dakota, Montana and Nevada and the
amendment IS will be voted on at the gen.
eral elections next November. Women
possess school board suffrage in thirty,
two states. Less than a hundred years
ago, very few women in the world were
permitted to vote.
The movement for equal suffrage is
progressing the world over, except per
haps in England where the lawlessness of
the Pankhurst band of criminals has
aroused public hostility to the propag an
da. In this country, extraordinary adj
vances have been made by the women
and therefore their impatience at not
conquering the entire country in a min
ute is some what surprising. Still unsat-
is6ed with the progress made state they
are now urgingi in Washington an amend
ment to the National constitution to per.
init women suffrage. Such an amend
ment would face the peril of defeat, while
the slow but sure march of the cause
state would seem the safer and better
way. Several of the large states are
about ready to surrender to the women
and the record of accomplishments al
ready achieved in adding separate com
monwealths to the conquered territory
should be encouragement enough TO the
continue on this line until the last citadel
is captured.

and dates for holding civil service exami-
nations for postmasterships in Vermo ont,
sent us by the United States government,
with the information that the commission
has no appropriation out of which to pay
for it's insertion as advertising. We have
looked over our books and records and
find no appropriation for the space it re
quires. for the material il ties up aud IT
the help to set type, to say nothing of a
reasonable return to the publisher. 1t

Committeeman E. S. Kinsley

The vacancy as member of the Repub-
lican Nauonal Commit tee for Vermont,
caused by the death of Hon J. L. Lewis,
has been filled by the selection of Earl S.
Kinsley OF Rutland. The selection is an
excellent one, Mr.. KInsley is an earnest
and active Republican aud has done val
liant work on the State Committee and
will do likewise in this new position
The Bennington Banner speaks decidedly
truthfully regarding this appointment as
follows:-
Earle S. Kinsley of Rutland has been
appointed Republican national commit
teeman from Vermont and will attend
the conference at Washington, December
16' Mr. Kinsley was selected for the
place year ago last spring, but the del
egates to the Chicago convention in some
way that has not been explained, side
tracked Mr.. kinsley and got another
man appointed. That is ancient history
now and we don't seem to be able TO find
out much aboutit. The present point is
Vermont Republicans now have as men,
Der OF the national committee the man
they elected to that place a year and a
half ago. This in itself is a little bit en-
couraging. Mr.. Kinsley is an honest,
patriotic man and goes forward with
the best wishes of his host of friends.
We have faith that he will do all in his
power to return the control of the Repub
lican party nationally to the rank and
hle OF the voters of the party. The ma
tional committee took that control away
at Chicago last year and it wrecked the
party for the time being. Whether it
stays wrecked depends to at least some
extent on the action of the national com
