LADIES GIVE BANQUET
Village Churches Unite in Missionary
Banquet at Baptist Church.


The ladies' missionary societies of
the various protestant village
churches gave their second annual
nter-denominatonal banquet at the
Baptist church parlors last evening,
attended by $50 members of various
missionary organizations.
The chief speaker was Mrs. W. T.
Elmore OF Hamilton, n Y, formerly
of southern India where she spent
much of her life as a missionary.
Mrs. Elmore was uniquely costumed
in the dress of high-caste woman
of India and spoke of her life in In
dia where she went as bride and
the missionary work which is being
accomplished by the protestant
church organizations.
Mrs. Elmore was introduced by
Mrs A. s. Davis, chairman of the
banquet committee, and the speak
ing was preceded by a pleasing
musical program. An orchestra com
posed of Mrs George w. Keeseman,
pianist, H. MacGregor Ritchie and
Daniel Rifenburg rendered several
selections OF classical music and Mrs.
Amyel Baker contributed vocal
solo, accompanied by Mrs. Keeseman.
In connection with the evenings en-
tertainment, Miss Martha Pratt had
charge of an interesting missionary
exhibit.
The paglors and tables were tastily
decorated, the excellent catering be-
ing done by Mrs. John Paulson. The
flowers, with which the tables were
trimmed, were furnished by Mrs.
James T. Colgate.
Tables and chairs sufficient to ac-
commodate the unusually large
crowd were furnished gratis by j. Ed.
Walbridge.
Credit for the success of the affair
goes to Mrs. A. j. Davis and her
corps of able assistants, comprising
Mrs. r. A. Davenport, Mrs. Harry
Moses, Mrs ELLA IIoughton, Mrs. H.
p. Woodman and Miss Helena Nor.

Merits of Primary

In the foregoing the Banner makes
out a strong case for the direct pri-
mary and sound and logical argu-
ment for the adoption of this system
in Vermont
AS the Banner says, there is no or
ganization engaged in canvas for
the direct primary, no funds avail
able for such canvas and no speak
ers are advocating it on the stump.
1t is a question that will have to win
on its own merits and because the
voters have been convinced of its
successful operation in other states
and that the people of Vermont have
a right to take the selection of their
candidate into their own hands.
The Banner has enumerated the
various selfish interests that are op-
posed to the direct primary and that
are already at work to bring about
the defeat of the measure, They rely
on general apathy on the part of the
voters and subterranean methods de-
signed to discredit the primary idea.
The Banner does not believe there
are enough of these classes of op-
'ponents to defeat it. We hope not.
Vermont needs the direct primary
to take the selection of candidates
out of the hands of the caucus man
ipulators and iiXers, and with cor.
rupt practice act, to make the choice
of public servants more representa-
i've and direct.-Enosburg Standard.

From Rutland to Burlington.
Carl II. White of Poughkeepsie and
Milton Towne of the j. A. Richards
Advertising company, New York, re
turned Monday after a hike of 100
miles through the state starting at
Bennington and terminating at Bur-
lington.
They followed the Green Mountain
trail to Stratton Mountain and thence
to Arlington to which point they
We're accompanied by Wills r. White.
From Arlington they made brief
trip to Rutland by rail. but continued
the balance of the way to Burlington
afoot. They arrived in Burlington
Saturday evening, having covered the
route in six days. Mr. Towno, who
is an experienced "hiker' and who
has made similar long trips in other
states, spoke OF the hike as the
most interesting he had ever under
taken. The magnificent scenery and
hospitality of the people made Yer
mont for him an ideal tourist state.
He spoke especially enthusiastically
of the section of country from Yer
gennes to Burlington with the Adir-
ondacks stretched on the left and
Lake Champlain along their foothills.
The party on their return expressed
the hope that the Green Mountain
trail, which is interrupted by gap at
Stratton Mountain and other peaks
further north, might soon be complet
ed which will make the trail one of
the most interesting and beautiful in
eastern United States.

ment, not of the controversy over
conscription, but Of the condition OF
affairs in the near east.
Sir Edward himself, so far has
made no personal explanation of his
reason for resigning, but it is under
stood that he disapproves of the pol
icy which is being followed in the
Balkans and of the method of con
fiding the whole national policy to a
small "inner cabinet"

Sir Edward Carson, prior to the out
break of the war. was the leader Of
the movement against home rule for
ireland which for time threatened
civil war in Ulster, AT that time he
was the Conservative member OF
parliament for Dublin university and
gained great notoriety for his speech
es attacking the government and the
sympathizers of home rule and threat
ening in case the King signed the
home rule bill to aid in setting up a
provisional government in Ulster He
was the first to sign the covenant OF
resistance to home rule, and led the
Ulsterites in the formation of the
Ulster volunteers.
When the present coalition govern
ment was formed last May Sir Ed
ward was given the portfolio of at
torney general. Some of the English
newspapers expressed the view that
his appointment was a mistake in
view OF his previous antagonism to
the government He had not attend
