Suffrage.

Recognizing the growing senti
ment throughout the country in fav-
or of granting the right of suffrage to
women, and believing that the wo-
men OF Vermont are at least the
equals of the women of other States
in intelligence and patriotism, we
recommend that at the first oppor-
tunity afforded constitutional
amendment giving women an equal
right OF suffrage with men be sub
mited to the voters OF this common
wealth.

To furthee promote economy in
State expenses we submit three spe-
ciflc recommendations:
First, that az or prior TO the open
ing OF the next session of the general
assembly budget be prepared by
the fiscal officers of the State, show
ing the estimated income Of the State
for the next ensuing biennial period.
the fixed charges upon its revenues
during such period. and such other
data as will most effectively aid the
Legislature In making its appropria-
tons and the establishment of such
new governments agencies as may
be- deemed for the best interests OF
tho State.
Second, that the PEI diem basis OF
compensation for the members OF the
Legislature be abolished and a fiat
salary for the session be substituted
therefor; and
Third, that the next Legislatu q. as
soon as may be after 1t conyenCs,
take steps TO investigate the compen-
sation OF the clerks, secretaries, re-
poiters, pages and all ether logisla-
tive and State House officials and EN-
ployees. and TO adjust the same upon
an equitable and business like basis.
Party Loyalty
Upon the wisdom and justice of
the foregoing measures fof the ad-
yancement and prosperity OF Yer

their support at the polls; and we ex
tend cordial welcome to all electors

mmedlately there was a loud roar
from the stands and hot criticism was
hurled at the Sox pilot.
Was it deserVed?~, We do not think
so. Take the situation from different
angles. Lewis plays left for Boston
and Duff has one of the best and most
accurate arms in the business. He
was slightly out of position to throw
home, but recovered quickly. He had
chance to get Demmitt.
But even had Demmitt scored by a
break in the luck, where would that
have placed the Sox? Still three runs
to the rear, with a man on second
and two out. Taking a chance on
counting one run in that situation
was no better than playing safe and
trying for two. And Shore, the Red
Sox twirler, appeared worried when
ever runners were on base. Possibly
Callahan figured all of these things.
There was really one reason DEM
mitt should have been sent home.
That was Bodie, who batted next.
Bodie hasn't hit in the pinch for quite
some period, and ran true to form on
this occasion, boosting a fly to left.
Later, with no one on, he knocked a
smashing single.
Reb Russell will be a good pitcher
again if he gets enough work to keep
in condition. The Texas southpaw
has been big all season. The service
he has seen has not been arduous
enough to pull off any of the extra
poundage he acquired during the
winter.
Reb pitched the early portion of
the next to last game in the Yankee
series. He had not been on the mound
for several days, and was soft mark
for the New Workers. Yesterday he
went to the relief of Benz in, the first
inning against the Red Sox, with just
four days rest
And he pitched as good ball as he
ever did in his life. Four hits were
-
The day book., 1914-07-31

Red Sox swung at nothing but air,
Hooper, Scott and Gardner, sluggers,
all taking the count.
Russell did more work than any
pitcher in the American League last
season, and he was a sensation, being
among the first four in effectiveness.
This season he so far has done less
than half as much labor, and has been
no great puzzle to opposing batsmen.
As a matter of fact, Callahan has
so many pitchers that it is hard
matter to give all enough action for
their own good and the benefit of the
team. At least five of the beavers
have shown qualifications to entitle
them to regular assignments, and La
throp also is believed good enough to
battle the batters.
Ray SchaIk's daring cost him an
other puncture. He was spiked at the
plate by Speaker in the first round
when iris slid in on a single. A deep
cash was cut in the courageous little
backstop's right wrist, and he should
not be allowed to play for four or five
days.
But he'll be back tomorrow unless
Callahan puts him in irons and throws
him in the dungeon. ..-..
Red Sox won the game on Shores
pitching and hits by Speaker, Janvrin
and Gardner. o..
Fisk and Lange of Tinker's Fed
pitching staff each turned in three-hit
games against Buffalo, but Fisk lost
because of errors and his own Wild
ness in the first inning. Lange was
more fortunate, as his mates batted
hard enough to overcome the wild
streak he exhibited.
Lange has the raw material of
which good pitchers are made, and
in due time should be.a reliable work
man. Fisk, on the other hand, is ex-
tremely uncertain. He is liable to
go like a whirlwind for nine innings

Reason for Changes

IL is small wonder that both parties
in Great Britain should be- devising
new land policies. II for no other rea-
son than because of the alarming de-
crease in the agricultural population
OF that country. In 1851 the percent
dge of males engaged in agriculture
was 23.5 Of !, the entire population OF
England and Wales. whereas in 1901 II
had fallen to 95 per cent No statis-
ties ARE available for the decade fol-
lowing 1901. but il seems highly likely
that the percentage has shown yet an
other decline Taking the records OF
England and Wales. the figures OF all
persons engaged in agriculture at in
Itervals Of ten years were as follows:
1851. l,7l2.I39; 1861, l.655,17S; ISL
1,456.971; 1881, 1885,, 3S9;, 1891, lisa
I9Sl. and 1901, 1882. I67. Thus the to-
tai decrease in the half-centnry under
consideration amounted to 520.572. and
of this number $4,000 were males and
129. $40 females. Four causes seem TO
have contributed very largely TO. these
continuous decreases, namely. emigra-
ton. the Introduction of more up-to-
date agricultural machinery. the grow
ing demand for labor in cities and the
higher wages paid there and lack OF
rural housing accommodation. The
problem before political parties in
Great Britain is to find some means
that will offset the disadvantages un.
der which the agricultural industry
IIlapors, and in doing so the greatest
Difficulty will be met with in making
farming so attractive that it will more
