Aliens Wives and widows.

1t is quite a new claim which some
Englisbwomen are now making IN re-
gard to nationality as affected by mar
riage They hold that the woman who
marries foreigner should not necessari-
ly thereby acquire citizenship in his
country, but should be free to retain all
the rights of citizenship in the land OF
her birth. This is the substance of a
protest made by the Women's Local
Government society against the proposed
parliamentary confirmation OF the ex-
isting law with respect to British ma
tionality and the status OF aliens. The
society contends specifically that Brit
ish. born wives and widows of aliens
ought not to be disqualified for being
parochial electors, or for election to local
bodies, or for continuing to serve If al
ready elected as councillors or guardians.
But would it be reasonable or practi-
Bile or even tolerable that all the po-
litical rights of the wife should be in one
country, and all those OF the husband
in anotherl Some objections are ac-
centuated by the present war. Sup
pose the case of an Englishwoman hav-
ing married a Prussian, who has since
been called to the eolors of his father
land, and is now an enemy fighting in
the German army against the British.
1t would surely be absurd that the wife
OF this enemy should be held eligible
as a voter or a member. in any depart
ment of British local government. Once
concede the strange principle now pro-
pounded and when woman suffrage pre-
vailed wife might be British parlia-
mentary eleetor and her husband Hun
garian parliamentary representative.
What would be the nationality Of
the children of such a marriage

and other British, or every
one of them cosmopolitan without
Perhaps it ought 10 be made
easy for the widow of an alien to re-
sumo her original nationality, but her
would not thereby cease to have
the nationality of their father. Inter |
national law on this subject is sound !
American women are well aware that |
II they marry Foreigners and go to live |
abroad they forfeit their American ma
tionality. The alien must become nat

IS the usual course when an American
woman marries an alien who has come

if we mistake not, in attracting other
support which normally is with that pu-
litieal organization. Mr.. Gates has inn
pressed the attendants at those conyen-
tons with his sincerity of purpose, not
only now but prior to that convention
which nominated him for governor, and
| he has convinced them also that they
have a standard bearer of sterling worth,
calm, determined, forceful, thoroughly
honest and devotedly patriotic to Yer
monts highest interests. Moreover, he
has shown them a broad -mindedness that
has appealed with much force. That
broad -mindedness has been welcomed
likewise by many not at present allied
with the Republican party who are glad
to see as a candidate for governor man
who is not hide-b bound in his political be-
liefs and who is ready to recognize some
good IN men and things not directly con-
nected with his party organization. In
short. Mr.. Gates combines those qualities
which tend to make him candidate on
whom many heretofore diverging people
can unite without strained concession.
For that reason Mr.. Gates ought to de-
vote all the time at his command not
absolutely needed in the conduct of the
state highway department to coming in
contact with the people of the state and
letting them become acquainted with
him.

TWO MEN RELEASED.

Winooski Death.

Burlington, Sept. Is = Chittenden
county court held brief session Satur-
day at which the cases of sAntonio Tara
and Michele Memone, the two Winooski
Italians indicted for the murder of
Henry Bushey OF Winoosk were dis
posed OF. States Attorney Hopkins gave
history OF the case and stated that
there was no evidence at hand at the
present time likely TO warrant convic-
tion. He also stated that the states
best witness. who had been held under
bail, had contracted an Illness that had
resulted in death. He asked that the
cases be mol pressed. The cases were
then mol pressed and the respondents
were discharged from custody.
The divorce case of Susie Goodrich VS..
Charles Goodrich was called for trial,

the United States amateur championship
there this autumn, eliminating in the
presentation of a medal to one person
in charge "in recognition of skillful and
intelligent work in preparation for and

that more championship tournaments If
like nature will come to the Vermont
mountain resort. The holding of these
big national events in the state will give
Vermont great deal of very valuable
advertising beyond the circles of golfers
merely, and the state will reap many
benefits therefrom. Therefore it is in
order to congratulate those who success
fully carried through the amateur cham
pionship tournament recently.

may buy ready-mixed paints. or may

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Poultry houses may be built more
open and consequently less expensive
ly in our Southern states than in the
North. according to investigators of
the United States department of agri-
culture. However, a house which gives
satisfaction in Maine will also give
good results in Texas or California.
The best site for a poultry house in
any location is one where good water
and air drainage are available. The
floors and yards will then be dry. The
house should not occupy a low hol-
low In which cold air settles. Wher-
ever possible. a southern or south
eastern exposure should be selected,
although this is not essential IL there
is any good reason for facing the
house in a different direction.

title Of the departments new farmers
