SUFFRAGETTES
SCORE VICTORY
ATLANTA COUNCIL RECOMMENDS
THAT WOMEN BE GIVEN
CERTAIN RIGHTS.

Atlanta, March 27.-Atlanta suffra.
gettes have scored the first big vic
tory in the south for women in poll
tics. The charter amendment COM
mitee OF city council has formally
recommended that the city's laws be
so changed that women will have the
right to serve on four of the most
important city boards
The proposed change provides that
five women may serve on the board
of education, five on the health board,
five on the park board, and five on the
library board.
The membership of each board will
total seventeen, including the mayor
and ex-officio members, so that the
women will be in the minority, but
in strong minority.
The women are to be full members
with voting power the same as men,
They are to be elected by general
council in the same way that board
members are now elected, and they
are to come from five districts form
ed by grouping the various city wards.
The proposed charter amendment
will not only permit women to aid in
the civic works directly affected by
the various boards on which they
serve. but will, it is predicted, give
women strong and active influence
in all the city's political affairs.

DETECTIVES ARE
MUCH PUZZLED
AT AMATEURIsH STUPIDITY OF
MAN WHO TRIED TO ROB
NEGRO. BANK.

Atlanta, March 27.-'The thing that
| is puzzling the detectives most,
strange to say, in the robbery Of the
negro bank charged to Edward Rhy-
nata, is the crude and amateurish stu
pidity Of the attempted crime.
1t was botched job in plan and in
execution, an effort which didn't have
chance in a hundred to succeed
an improbable sort of thing that you
would think was poor and unnatural
plotting and acting If you read it in
a novel or saw it in the movies.
This Rhynata, If indeed he was the
man, made his attempt at an hour
when the slightest intelligent observa-
ton would have shown that all the
money in the bank had been locked
away more than an hour before in the
vault where not even frightened and
Iacquescent cashier could have helped
him get at it.
He walked in the bank In broad
daylight, without mask or Disguise and
promptly let himself be grappled by
a negro clerk. The only shots he was
able to fire with his revolver were
in the air, and If he hadn't half ac-
.cidentaly felled his assailant by
throwing bludgeon at him, he
wouldn't have even been able to make
"a temporary getaway.
The police are confident they have
right man, and they believe he is the
same one who held up the clerk Of
local loan society few weeks ago.
But they are wondering whether he
is not rank amateur at the robbery
game.
The, preliminary hearing in the case
will take place this morning before
the recorder, whens.th the prisoner will
be formally bound over to the higheg
court

OSTEOPATHY.

The science was originated and de-
veIoped b Andrew Taylor Still, NJ.
D., doctor of the "Old School" He
was surgeon throughout the Civil
war and continued the practice of
medicine until 1874. About this time
he lost three children by the disease
known as cerebro-spinal meningitis
Personal sorrow lends a mighty incen-
tive to human thought and DR.. Andrew
Still became a philosopher He rea-
soned that the human body, so per-
fectly made and capable of perform
ing so many wonderful things, must
also have within itself the power to
combat disease. The skeleton and
the human body were studied with an
aim hitherto unknown. He saw that
interference or obstruction to the
nerves and blood vessels caused alb
normal conditions and that disease
could be cured by removing these OBJ
This did not come by the
dream of a night, but as the result of
any years of patient study. 1t was
not until 1892 that the science was
sufficiently developed to found a
school.

Now For Direct Primary.

The test vote on the direct primary
at the March meetings last week was
an overwhelming declaration in fav-
or of it. There was a total of a.
066 votes cast on the question and of
these 1924 were for it and 5,132
against it. In other words the vot-
ers declared more than three to one
for a direct primary. A more strik-
ing result is the fact that only TWEEN
ty-three out of the 246 towns and
cities of the state declared against
it although there was a tie vote in
three or four other towns and no
returns from some. The towns CIV
ing a majority against the primary
were: Starksboro, Sandgate. Sears
burg, Newark, Stannard, Colchester,
Fairfield, Orange, Tunbridge, Yer
shire, West Fairlee, Bloomington,
Jay, Westfield, Brandon, Pittsford,
Tinmouth, West Haven, Plainfield,
Waterbury, Bridgewater, Reading
and Stockbridge. In Essex, Grand
Isle and Windham counties not a
town gave a majority against the
direct primary.
Looked at in another way the YER
dict is not so decisive. There was a
total of "a, O66 votes cast on the pro-
position and this represents small
proportion of the voters of the state.
In the gubernatorial contest of 1912
there were 64,S12 votes cast, in
1910, 54,7S7; in 1908, 64,367, and
in 1906, 7O,4S9. This shows that
only a little over one third of the
voters declared themselves. But
they all had the opportunity to do
so and we must consider the verdict

Our Parcel Post Business.

In discussing the post office APP
propriation bill. Sen. Bristow of Kan
sas, republican, stated some facts
that the public should know. Under
the regulations made by Postmaster
General Burleson, the postage on a
twenty pound package into third
zone is eighty-three cents if sent di-
rect. But a shipper can take the
same package and send it to the lin
il of what is at present the first zone,
formerly the second zone, for forty
four cents. Then an agent can re-
ceive it, fedirect and renal it to the
party for whom it was intended for
twenty-four cents. With double the
work on the part of the government
the package is sent in this way eX-
actly the same distance for fifteen
cents less than would be charged to
take it direct.
Furthermore the government asks
twenty-four cents to carry a twenty
pound parcel anywhere within the
first zone while the express rate for
the same distance is thirty-one cents;
for the second zone the parcel post
is twenty-four cents and the express
rate is thirty-eight cents; for the
third zone the parcels post rate is
forty-four cents and the express rate
is thirty-six cents. Everywhere be-
yond the second zone express is
cheaper than parcels post. So it
will be seen the parcels post bust
ness will be largely confined to dis
tances of $50 miles or less as it is
cheaper to send by express for a
greater distance.
One effect of the parcels post is to
so increase the work on the star and
rural routes that the carriers work.
ing under old contracts will be ruin
ed. 1t is also stated that the deficit
in the post office department will be
in excess of 100000 as the re-
suit Of the parcels post. This indi-
Gates that the rate for $50 miles or
less is not enough and if the bust
ness is confined to that distance the
parcels post is not likely to prove
self supporting. The senate will
act wisely if it refuses to appropriate
money for the. parcels post until it
is more intelligently organized.

The new income tax law is not
bringing the revenue the democrats
expected and the new tariff law has
caused a reduction of $22,00O,0OO in
customs receipts for the five months
it has been in. force. Many of the most
wealthy citizens of the United States
who receive the major portion OF
their income from foreign invest
ments are giving up their citizenship
to avoid the double penalty the in
come tax imposes. 1t looks as if the
democrats had over-reached them
selves in their attempt to mulct
wealth and are close to their old pos
itiOn of failing to raise enough reve-
nue. for the current expenses of gov

Vermont Court Procedure.

We give space this week for
a letter by Superior Judge w. W.
Miles, written to the Orleans County
Monitor, because we believe the opin-
ions of the members Of the Vermont
courts should be given the widest
publicity. They are the best quail
fed persons in the state to discuss
rules and methods of procedure and
doubtless are the best informed
about desirable changes.
Probably few people realize that
the Superior Judges had made the
improvements Mr.. Miles mentions.
Possibly the judges might facilitate
the securing of justice by reducing
the period in which cases must be
disposed of. from four to two
years. The statement by Judge
Miles that scarcely ten per cent of
the cases entered in court are ever
tried or expected to be tried when
entered" brought this suggestion to
mind. A shortening of the time such
cases could be left on the court
dockets would prevent litigants from
delaying a settlement.
Two things are suggested by Judge
Miles that the legislature must do
If the securing of justice is to be ex-
pedited. First he says; "A law
could be passed that no ruling or
judgment of the county court should
be reversed by the Supreme Court,
unless the exceptions clearly showed
there was error in the ruling or judg
ment of the county court and that the
excepting party was injured by it
and that If the case were reversed a
different result would probably hap
pen on another trial. We had sup
posed the Supreme Court of Vermont
did decide as Independently of mere
technicalities as it is possible for it
to do, but If it can be made more in
dependent of them by law the law
should be enacted.
Judge Miles suggests that county
and chancery courts be given the pow
er Of amendment to amend any form
of action to another. He believes the
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1914-03-11

mistakes in the selection of remedies
takes in the selection of remedies
would be avoided and technicalities
as to forms of action be eliminated.
This can be done only by the enact
ment of the law he says.
Chief Justice Powers is a strong
advocate of a shorter cut to JUS
tice" He would abolish the dis
tinctions between a court of chancery
and a court of law. He would elm
mate the technicalities of common
law pleadings and require a plaintiff
to briefly state his claim and the de-
tense to be as clearly and briefly
stated. Then the issue in the case is
clearly before the court and can be
determined at once on the grounds of
equity.
With these suggestions before
them the people should not hesitate
to demand the enactment of statutes
that would bring these desirable re-
suits. 1t is a good sign to have the
chief officers of our supreme and
county courts making such sugges-
tions to the public and should enable
it to rectify the mistakes and expe-
dite justice in Vermont.

Loaning Money In Vermont.

Here is a suggestion made by G.
p. Smith, president of the largest
bank in the state of Vermont and a
man whose business sagacity is wide
ly recognized, to the Vermont State
Bankers Association.
Our banks are frequently con-
fronted with the very difficult ques-
ton of loaning upon what are known
as our back hill FARMS" often larg-
er amounts than the security will
warrant. Their value is so depend
ent upon wise and intelligent man
agement that the security in many
cases is uncertain. The note is not
only a slow asset, but if the bank
finds it necessary to take the secur-
ity, it invariably means a loss. Every
bank should take particular pains
not only to examine carefully the
security, but to know the ability of
the farmer; and wherever possible
should loan to the limit of safety in
assisting the development Of all our
agricultural interests. The banks
should pursue a liberal policy and
always stand ready to assist in the
development of our quarries and all
Oh our manufacturing lnQuSlI1SS.
And here, too, is an element of dan
ger as successful management re-
quires large capital and good bust
ness organization, and while the
money necessary can be furnished by
the bank, the people interested in
the management should furnish un-
questioned security and ought not to
ask the bank to take the risk of de-
velopment or of putting any manu-
featuring industry on sound, sue
cessful basis.
Can any one suggest a more sane
policy for loaning money in Yer
mont? 1t certainly is not safe for
banks which are handling the small
savings of individuals to be more
liberal in investing their funds and
those who criticise the banks for
sending money out of the state for
investment can not claim to the con-
trary. The banks should and we
believe do invest all the money they
can get proper security for in YER
mont. The duty of the borrowing
class in Vermont is to show greater
ability in the conduct of the farm
or business and not to demand mon
ey beyond the limits of safety.

presume that it is not known to
many outside the profession, that
on September 1st, 1909, the super
ior judges adopted an entirely new
set of rules covering the entire field
county court, and that they were
engaged for a year or more in their
preparation, and during that time
examined the court rules of the New
ingland States, submitted a tenta-
i've set of proposed rules to COM
mittees of the several bars of the
ite, and after receiving reports
from those committees and carefully
considering the same, promulgated
our present rules of procedure and
practice, which have been only slight
Y amended since, to improve them
here their use showed that improve
ment could be made.
Under these rules as they now
stand, petitions, bastardy proceed
ings, divorce cases and session pro-
ceedings stand for trial when the de-
PENDANT is required to appear. APP
peals from Probate Courts, except
hose requiring an issue to be join
ed by plea, stands for trial at the
irst term after the time fixed by
law for defendant to appear, and
in account and book account judg-
ment to account is entered as soon
as the pleadings permit, which is
almost always at the term when en-
tered, and when such judgment is
entered, the court hears the case or
sends it out to an auditor or COM
missioner to find the facts and state
the account between the parties, and
all other cases stand for trial when
