SUFFRAGE BILL DELAYED.
House VIII Vote on Monden Reso
luton Next Month.

AutIOh NeAN hOnNn.
Following its rejection of the Hob
son prohibition resolution Tuesday
night, the House will not be called upon
to vote on the MOndell woman suffrage
resolution before the middle of Janu-
airy. Chairman Henry. of the Rules
Committee. announced yesterday that
the House would be given a breathing
spell, and IL is no his intention to call
up the woman suffrage question before
January 10.
Opponents of the MondeT resolution
will combat 1t on the same ground upon
which prohibition was defeated-name-
ly, that both suffrage and prohibition
are matters to be decided by the States
and not the Federal government. The
Democratic caucus is committed against
the suffrage resolution, and it probably
will be defeated as was the Hobson
measure. 1t will require a two-thirds
vote of the House to adopt the Mondell
resolution.

Could Export Cement at Once.

The United States imports relatively
little hydraulic cement, only S4,o3O bar
rels having been imported in 1918, where
as the domestic production in that year
was nearly 100000 barrels. There is
little or no need to import any cement,
for all parts of the country are now fair'
Nv well supplied with mills for the man.
ufacture OF Portland cement, and the
supply of raw materials is practically
inexhaustible. significant feature OF
the cement industry, however, IS the
fact that, though only about so per cent
of the normal cement-producing capacity
of the country is employed at the max
imum, there is often an overproductIon
vet the exports of hydraulic cement have
scarcely exceeded ,200000 barrels in any
wear, this amount being only about ?
per cent OF the total output-not suff
Gent to take care of the surplus produe-
tion in year of great activity.
There seem to be excellent reasons Tor
stimulating the export trade in cement
as rapidly as possible. for, although the
export of relatively bulky and low
priced material such as cement does not
promise large direct profits to an individ-
ual producer, indirectly the creation and
maintenance of an export trade should
benefit the industry at large through the
opportunity afforded of disposing of sur
plus stocks and thereby tending to main
tain steadier prices Bulletin 500, u y,

THE MAINE RESULT.

Comparisons between the vote cast in
the vote in the presidential election of
two years ago probably do not give an
accurate idea of the balance among the
three leading parties in Maine, but there
is no doubt that the figures give fairly
certain idea of the trend of sentiment
during the interval since the last prest-
dental election. The Democrats have
the satisfaction of having elected their
candidate as governor land there is no
slight satisfaction in that's but the chief
encouragement of the result goes to the
Republican party, which gained some
thing like l25 per cent over the vote
polled by the party in 1912, while the
marked reduction in the size of the Pro
gressive vote on Monday reveals THAI
the old sores between the two parties,
which formerly constituted strong
combination, are healing to certain ex-
tent. At the same time it must be borne
IN nina bndb laIb, tHe iNcpubiiNen Vah-
didste for president two years ago, was
not particularly pleasing to the voters Of
the border state of Maine any more then
he was pleasing to the border section Of
Vermont, while the wonderful person
atty of Roosevelt initiated to bring out
a large for the Progressive party two
years ago and the force of that pef
sonality was lacking this year. Hence
there was more than ordinary occasion
in 1912 for a small Republican vote and
for large Progressive vote as compared
with the normal state election; and,
therefore, there was reason for greater
disparity between the comparative votes
of the two years. But even allowing for
that, the Republican gain on Monday
was so tremendously large as to lend
the greatest encouragement 20 that
party, even though a Democrat goes into
the governors chair.

CURRENT COMMENT
Gates for Governor.

The people of Vermont were not great
" surprised on learning OF the action OF
the delegates to the state convention
who named Charles w. Gates of Frank
lin to be the nominee for governor.
Mr.. Gates has been before the peo'
pie of his state for many years, having
held several minor offices before being
elected highway commissioner. 1t is
since he held that Office, that has proven
for him to be a stepping stone to the
governorship. that he has become well
known to the people at large, all OF
whom were loud in their praises Of The
value of his services. As he became
known throughout the state, call came
time after time to him to accept nom
nation for the higher place, which he
declined to do even down to the day OF
the state convention. But it was OF no
use, his neighbors and friends saw in
plethora of candidates for the office Of
governor this year the opportunity for
their candidate and after the favored
SON of the different localities had had
the complimentary ballot of their county
delegation there was quiet slipping
away to the man of their choice and
Charles w. Gates got the nomination on
the second ballot.
While many people would doubtless
have preferred for governor at this time
a man with wider business experience
and a broader outlook upon affairs, all
willingly admit the good highway COM
missioner will make an acceptable gov
ernor and one who can be depended upon
to watch out for the best interests Of
his state. None of the candidates up
for the office this year, popular as they
were in their own communities, had the
all around drawing qualities of Charles
w. Gates. so that the convention is to be
congratulated in its choice Of standard
bearer for Vermont Republicans.
The rest of the ticket is made up OF
good material the nominee for lieuten-
ant governor being Hale X. Darling OF
Chelsea: for state treasurer, Walter +.
Scott Of Brandon; for secretary of state,
GUY w. Bailey Of Essex; for state and
itor. Horace F. Graham of Craftsbury.

matter covers the industrial life Of the
state quite well in so narrow limits as
must be in a book of this size. Appro-
priately enough the book begins with
Vermont's mineral resources, granite be-
ing taken up at the outset and then
marble. To quote from the book "Out
Of Vermont hillsides to-day are coming
the marble and the granite that are be-
ing used in the finest temples and cap
itols and mausoeums in the land, rs
well as the most beautiful interior def
orations made OF stone, and there seems
no danger that these deposits will
fail, for the supply is practically
in exhaustible." And so through the
long and varied list of Vermont's mineral
resources goes on the narration of facts,
the larger centers like Barre and Proc
tor, receiving, naturally, more EXTENDED
notice than others, but each sharing
certain degree of publicity that is desir-
able and that ought to attract more
capital into Vermont. Following the
treatment OF the mineral resources, the
volume goes at considerable length IN
the lumber and timber products of the
state; and finally it takes up by coun-
ties and, in turn, by towns the prospects
of every section of the state. Indeed,
the work is so comprehensive, while not
at all wearisome, that it is very salts
factory. We expect that tile scattering
of copies Of this volume in well-selectol
places will result in material advantage
to Vermont; and in compiling it the bu-
reau Of publicity has done a good stroke
of work.

The somewhat battling nature OF the
disease infantile paralysis Ia misnonler,
if ever there was for a diseasel which
has made its appearance in several places
in Vermont should, and undoubtedly
does. stir the state board of health TO
greater efforts to cope with the outbreak.
AT the same time the public itself has
a duty to perform in cooperation with
the state board of health to the extent
of following the instructions which THAI
organization sees fit, in its greater ar-
ouaintance with the disease, to impose
upon the people. No false standards
should be set up, no reservations o.
secrecy established, If the progress OF
the disease is to be stayed within rea-
sonable limits. One thing is certain, too,
that in whatever town the disease may
have made its appearance there should
be the most strict quarantine on houses
and the local authorities should see TO
it that the rules of isolation should be
observed to the letter ard the spirit
That is the only way the state may
hope to cope successfully against the
disease, the nature OF which is so little
understood.
