Suifragets Make II a Busy san-

FIGHT WITH ANGRY CROWD
Anti suHrasets Resen, Insult TO the
King and Threaten 10 c1ek
the Women

London, May 24.-The suftragists
gave the police and church officials
busy Sunday. while they themselves
in some cases received rough treat
ment from persons In the crowds
who resented the recent interference
with the King.
Sylvia Pankhurst, who was again
arrested under the Cat and Mouse.
act. and her East End followers. pro-
vided the chief excitement of the
day. A great procession formed at
Canning Town and marched TO Vic.
toria Park. On the way the women
picked up Sylvia Pankhurst. who was
chained and handcuffed to fifteen wo-
men and surrounded by other supper
te-s, armed with slaves.
The police allowed the procession
to proceed. but when the park was
reached they got the militant leaser
and those chained to her into the
park by an adroit move. and then
shut the gates against the rest of the
women. The women made a stiff
fight. but the police finally broke the
chains with their truncheons and ar
rested Sylvia. They allowed the
others to 20.
Outside the gate a furious struggle
went on between male suffragists
and anti-suffragists. which the police
had the greatest difficulty in break
ing up.
At Hampstead Heath suffragists
had to call on the police for protec-
ton against a mob which rushed
their platform with cries of duck
theml We win teach them to insult
the Kingl"
The police surrounded the suffra-
gists. most of whom were women.
and finally got them away in safety
from the threatening crowd.

THE KINDERGARTEN
Miss Carpenter Urges That II Be
Retained

Editor of the Banner:
Friends of the kindergarten have
urged me to write this open letter To
the Evening Banner"
The first kindergarten in Benning-
ton was organized and maintained by
the kindergarten association of Ben
nington.. This association included
in its membership the most intelli-
gent and progressive citizens of the
village. This kindergarten was
great success and in the following
year became part of the graded
school system.
In 1902 the trustees voted to dis
continue the kindergarten. A petit
ton was framed by former members
of the kindergarten association and
| secured long list of signatures OF
the male voters of the school district.
Only two of all the men interviewed
refused to sign the petition and those
two approved of the kindergarten.
The kindergarten was reinstated.
We have every reason to believe
that the sentiment of 1902 prevails
today. In Difference to this senti-
ment why not delay action one year.
Bennington has been most fortu-
nate in its kindergarten teachers. We
who have kept in touch with both
public and private kindergarters in
the large cities feel the keenest pride
in our home kindergarten. freely
acknowledge my inability to place an
exact commercial value on kinder
garten training but it is safe to as
sert that money invested in the
proper care and training of our little
ones will yield just return.
Spend an hour with these little
folk (the future citizens Of Benning-
toni while they are on the circle and
if you are not converted to the kin
dergarten idea it will simply but con-
vincingly prove that your own ear
ly training missed the sympathetic.
allembracing, community spirit of
that wonderful circle.
When our pride in our Bennington
schools has attained it's nth power,
it seems hardly possible that the
trustees will remove the most f.s-
portant department
Nothing can compensate the child
for the loss of the public kindergar-
ten. We all hope to be able to pay
our teachers living wage but let
us not defraud our little people.
In sincerity,
Maude l.. Carpenter.

day Evening

The Rutland Herald today printed
the following: II developed yestcr-
day that at the Bull Moose meeting
in Brattleboro. held on Friday even
ing and attended b. abou. e5 pro-
gressives, a lette- was read from c.
A. Prouty. regulating the progress
sives and stating that he did not
seek endorsement at the hands OF
any political party. No intimation
OF this letter was permitted to APP
pear in any telegraphic report OF the
meeting published in the state press.
The first intimation of the letter
reaching the public when delegates
TO the meeting reached their various
homes on Saturday.
]. c. Jones, recognized leader OF
the Rutland Bull Moose contingent,
who was present at the meeting.
said yesterday that such letter was
read, Mr.. Prouty announcing that
hereafter he would affiliate with the
republican party and did not desire
any endorsement by the progressive
es. Mr.. Jones could not remember
the phraseology of the letter. but
said II was not regarded as especial
ly important. He understood, how
ever, that the letter amounted to an
elimination OF Prouty as progress
sive candidate for the United States
Senate.
DR.. II. Nelson Jackson, chairman
| of the progressive state committee,
was reached by telephone in Burling-
ton last night but declined to give
The Herald the contents of the letter
by wire, pleading a Sunday evening
engagement. He admitted. however,
that such letter had been received
| and read at the meeting. lie declar-
ed there was nothing to the letter."
which he promised to send to The
Herald by mail
Judge 4. w. Gibson of Brattleboro
also admitted that such letter had
been read at the meeting, but was
unable to remember its exact lam
guage. His impression was, however
! that Mr.. Prouty had asked that no
endorsement should be made of his
candidacy for the Senate, either by
the progressives or by any other
party.
The general impression among
Rutland progressives yesterday was
that Prouty was "out of it,"

WOMEN AND THE BALLOT
Difference Of Opinion as To the
Vermont Way

Editor OF The Banner.
For the past six years the writer
has been actively engaged In agitat-
ing and educating public sentiment
along the lines OF equal political
rights for women. supposing this
was what the Vermont Equal suf-
frage Association stood for and
what the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union was hoping TO gain, but
she now finds 10 her surprise that
what is really desired Is equal voting
privileges upon an unequal basis.
Tho Vermont Home Guards. the
State organ OF the Woman's Christ
ian Temperance Union. in its March
issue publishes an unsigned two col.
umn article-approyed by the presi-
dent-in which she advocates the fol.
lowing bill intended TO grant town
and municipal suffrage to women,
with no poll tax provision. stating
thus
1T is entirely constitutional and
within the power OF the legislature
TO enact law providing that.

LIST. The phrase having the quail

sion of political rights which women
are not now granted under the con
stitution and laws OF this state. hence
tho writer believes the language re-
ferred to would inyalidate the bill
and would raise serious doubt as to
its constitutionality. If women really
possess such qualifications as the Ian
guage of the bill would seem to i'm
ply. and II they already pay taxes
they are now. under the present laws,
full pledged voters in town meetings (;
hence, no further legislation is neces-
sary. The Constitution and laws do
not. however, show that women al
ready possess the necessary qualif-
cations of freemen. Again. il women
can. or do now possess such. It would
be interesting to know how they were
legally secured under the Constitu-
ton.
End. The bill seems ambiguous as
TO its full scope and meaning as il
proposes to recognize by statutory
enactment. political status of WON

Change in the fundamental law can

ulent bankrupt.

LONDON, Sept 19.-Chancellor OF the
Exchequer Iloyd-George delivered an
address in London today on the beginning
OF the war.
Referring TO the accusation that Great
Britain has used the treaty providing tor
belgian neutrality as a cunning cloak TO
veil her jealousy of superior clvilza-
tion, the chancellor said:
Our answer was the action we took in
1870. In that case Prince Bismarck re
spected Prussia's treaty obligations, but
it was the interest OF Prussia 10 break
her treaty today and she has done It,
To Prussia a treaty is just a scrap of
paper.
This doctrine of a scrap of paper goes
to the root of all evils. We are fighting
against barbarism and there Is only one
way of putting right II there are ma.
tions who say they will respect treaties
only when 1t is 20 their interest to do so
we must make 1t to their interest to dc
so In the future"
Referring to the German excuses, Mr.
Lloyd-George remarked:
"A great nation out to be ashamed oi
behaving like a fraudulent bankrupt try.
ing to escape his obligations"
