THE BUGABoo OF CONGRESS.

Congress has decided not to dodge
any longer the prohibition and roman
suffrage bugaboos. The house committee
on rules has consented to bring to Il
vote on the floor of the house the con
stitutional amendments that the wO
men and the anti-liquor workers have
fought for so long. 1t will be Il fan
and square test Of congressional opin-
ION. not to mention congressional cour-
age.
1t seems hardly possible that the
amendments should receive at this
time the two-thirds vote necessary to
place them before the country. There
appears to be prevalent conviction
that suffrage and prohibition are state
issues, and that it would be wrong and
uuwise for Il constitutional majority
of states to impose their will in these
matters on the other states. Both wo-
man suffrage and prohibition depend
for their efficiency very largely on local
public opinion. There isn't much use
! granting the franchise TO a community
that doesn't want it or won t fight for
it, and there ism much use imposing
prohibition on state that prefers
license. Both movements may eventu-
ally sweep the whole country, and may
then with propriety be handled from
Washington, but it isn't evident that
either has yet attained national dimen.

Raising Cattle in New England.
lRnston Record. }

NbUoVUH NVVUI1I+I
Government and stockyard experts
tell us that meat at soc per pound,
and shoes at SO a per pair are pos
sibilities within the next few wears.
Scarcity of cattle is the reason. What
are New Englanders doing to meet the
amergeney-by raising cattle, for one
thing! There is not acreage enough
on New England farms to upset the
balance of the cattle market. but
either one of two reasons points to
further utilization of what acreage for
pasture there is here. First, perhaps
to make living easier for those who
buy meat; or, second, to make gener-

Nicholas }. Lawler, the new post
master i'll Greenfield, has called atten-
ton to the rostollice department S
rule requiring householders to shovel
away the snow On walks from houses
to the sidewalks, if they expect mail
to be delivered In view of the fact
that it is claimed that the Brattleboro
village ordinances do not give the
authorities power to compel the shovel
ng of snow from sidewalks it would
be a good plan to invoke here the rule
which is being enforced in Greenfield.
II is not fair to the carriers to make
them go over the snow and ice.

Family Rows Among Democrats,
(Rutlaud News. Dec. 49,

Frederick W. Childs, whose ncmina
tion for postmaster at Brattleboro
was made by the President yesterday,
was not the choice of the democratic
state committee. That committee rec
commended the appointment of NJ. J.
Moran. Thus, it seems that the plan
of having Vermont postmastcrs named
by the state central committee of the
party is not to be followed. To the
disinterested observer it would appear
this was simply another move to create
dissatisfaction and fractional differ
cnccs among our unfortunate friends,
Vermont Democrats, who have been,
for years their own worst enemies and
given over habitually to family rows.
Concord Monitor: Morris Potash has
been petitioned into bankruptcy at
Boston, but the official notice does
not give Abe Perlmutter as one of
the creditors.

The Importance of coming out to
vote has been strikingly shown many
times in the past few months. In New
Hampshire the Democratic gubernato-
rial nomination was secured by a mar
gin Of two votes, and in the elections
in Massachusetts cities last week one
mayor was chosen by margin Of five
votes and another had only seven ma
joritv. The man who says "ny vote
doesn't count makes no argument;
all he Is Offering is an excuse.

Gus profit for those who choose to
raise cattle There is a good living
on the farm-more than a bare exist
eucc. There is comparative indie
pendence,- and more money saved up
at the end of 10 years than by work
ing under hard conditions in the city.
And with cattle becoming scarce there
is more reason than ever, and from
several points of view, for utilizing to
the fullest extent the farming country
of New England.

New England feels highly encour-
aged by the permission of the govern
mcnt commission to raise freight rates
on it's railroads. SO bright and cheer
full is the future of our railroads that
the price of the Boston & Maine
shares rose to $50 and of the New
Haven to sos. 1t is calculated that
the increase will give one of these
reads $150,OOO and the other 100000
"a year more on the same business. But
as they are each several millions from
earning their dividends, this rate in
crease is not all they need. For one
thing they need more business.

Power Behind the Throne.
Barre Times.

Apparently there are other recon
mending powers for postohice jobs in
Vermont besides the Democratic state
committee. The Brattleboro appoint
ment went to f. w. Childs, the can
didate who was not recommended by
the state committee. A dispenser of
patronage is working behind the scenes.

GRAINS QUIET.
Reports From France Bidding for
 Wheat Helps Bulls.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-Steadiness of prices at Liverpool tended today to lift the wheat market here. Buying power. however, seemed dormant and it took little selling by commission houses to cause quick reaction. Of ferings, though, were soon absorbed and when shorts tried to cover they found the market bars. After start ing 1-4@1c higher, values suffered decided setback, but then rallied completely.
 Corn appeared to be governed who'll ly by wheat. The opening, which var jed from the same as last night to 1-4c higher, was followed by general decline. All of the losses were sub sequently wiped out.
 Oats had no independent action
 Lower quotations for hogs made the provision market easy. First transac- tions were 21@ ole down, but later the action of grain had a steadying effect.
 Reports that France was bidding for wheat gave additional help to the bulls. The close was nervous, R@ 5-Sc net higher.
 Some European inquiry for small lots of corn counted against the bears. The close was unsettled at net ad- vance of 3-Sc@1 1-Scc.

 October 5.

Ten thousand dollars is the amount claimed as damages for personal ln- juries by Gull Elliott, who yesterday filed suit against the Arkansas Short Leaf Lumber company.
 The action is a sequel to an acci- dent in the yards of the defendant company on July 6 last, when Elliott alleges his right hip was broken, causing the leg to hang loose,' ana making him practically helpless. The plaintiff was inside a car loading lum- Der when it was bumped by locomo- tive, Elliott saying he was chushed between the lumber and the wall o1 the car. He planes the defendant company for the switch being open. Elliott says he was earning $l.7o a day, but is now unable to iaDor.

C01'T0N INSTEAD
 oF INDIAN JU1E
Milling Company Will Utilize Cotton
 For Bagging to Aid the South.

The M. c. Peters Mill company or Omaha, Neb., the largest plant of its kind in the West, will begin packing it's products in containers Of cotton which will be manufactured in the company's own mill. This is an en- tirely new use for cotton, and manu- featuring their first supply of cotton bags, the Peters company will utilize forty bales of Southern cotton.
 The first carload of Peters products contained in cotton bags will be ship ped to J. H. Talbot & company, whose suggestion has resulted in this new outlet for cotton. Talbot & company made the same suggestion to number of mills, and the indications are that the suggestion will be adopted by the majority.
 Peters Urges Change.
 In an article in the Omaha Bee un- der the head of "The Problem of Bagging," M. c. Peters, president of the company bearing his name, shows that jute from India is used for bur- lap and other articles and that it is possible to substitute for jute South ern cotton in many cases. MT. Peters explains how this can be accomplish ed, and urges that cotton be untilized. saying:
 "The attention of all consumers to the great advantages to be derived in this country from the production and consumption of our own raw materials instead of the importation of mater ials produced by other countries will in itself more than relieve all the fi- nancial tenseness which may exist in various parts of our country. In Nebraska, for instance, the South is our steady patron for our agricultur- al products, and we should assist the South in every way possible in the marketing of it's cotton and its su- gar, and this point of using cotton goods as a substitute for burlap will be great relief not only to the South, but eventually to the consum- CT. who necessarily must pay for the container which carries the products of various manufacturing industries"
