John Senter in Action

Montpelier's inimicable John Sen
ter, veteran of scores of political cam
paigns and one of the most pictures
que orators in Vermont, was begin
ming a speech at the Democratic state
convention in Burlington Wednesday
when Brattleboro delegate inter-
rupted with the cry OF louder.
John shot a whitening glance in the
direction Of the offending delegate
and then addressed the gathering
something like this: MIR. Chairman;
When the Angel Gabriel sounds on
his trumpet the blast which shall
summon us all before the seat of
judgment | venture to say that some
-fool from Brattleboro viii be
there to shout louder just as he has
today" The effect of this speech on
the convention can be better imagin-
cd than Observation-Disclosures Jour
nal.

The Cradle Roll members will be
counted at both the Baptist and Con-
gregational Sunday school on Rally
Day, next Sunday. What do you think
would happen il there were so many
people out with bricks that the light
house would have to be built higher
than the ceiling of the room in which
it was started? The only answer to
that question is, cut hole through
the roof. There is a man in Ben
nington who agrees to pay all ex-
pense of restoring the roof, should
such course be necessary. But
seriously, the lighthouse should be of
good height, in order to throw light a
long distance and allow for the arc
of the earth's circumference. Let
everybody take hold. Who are you
going to hunt up and bring to help
along the lighthouse? Now is the
time to be planning such things. Do
you, Baptists, want the Second Con-
gregational Sunday school to win?
DO you, Congregationalists, want the
Baptists to win? All depends on the
individual, not so much on the de
nomination. If it should happen to
rain, or snow, Sunday. don't let such
little thing as that deter you from
entering into the race. Make up your
mind TO come, rain or shine, snow or

WoMAN's SPHERE
Reasons Why Equal Suffrage Is De-
manded

THE place for a woman is at
home" Many a modern housewife
has had the above sentence hurled at
her in supreme contempt when seek
ing, to regulate wrong things outside
her home, which directly affected her
family within her home.
Twenty-Five years ago, at the first
biennial convention of the womans
clubs a delegate arose and proposed
plank in the federation platform en-
dcrsing equal suffrage. She stood abb
solutely alone. Not single woman
supported her. This dangerously ag-
gressive CD woman was gently, but
firmly suppressed and the women de-
cided mot to NEEDLE with politics.
At their recent convention the fedora
ton adopted equal suffrage, for they
have learned through experience that
in furthering their many lines OF
work they have bumped into politics
all along the line. They have seen
that political influences control more
or less, every individual, also that
| individuals home and property. They
have learned that political power has
suppressed facts which should have
| been made public. They have learn
ed that political power has kept men
| in Office who were known to defeat
bills intended to put down those who
were corrupting the people and the
nation for a price.
The great Organized bodies OF wom-
en- are today making their influence
felt, and editors are more glad than
ever before to flash across the CONT
mont their doings as News"
Some very interesting articles by
MS Mabel Potter Daggett are appear
| ing in various magazines which Yer
monters should ponder and perhaps
apply. Many statements in this ar
ticle are quoted from her writings.

generally ordered cleanup day, or
