TWO PEOPLE TO DO WORK OF ONE
Miss Marjorie Doman So Describes Effect of Giving Vote to
Women Spoke Here Under Auspices of Norwich

portion of a Million Females in United States Want the
Vote

barrel she caught sight over the fence
OF her neighbor Mrs. Jones, just re-
turning from the polls, to which she
had been likewise hustled by her hus-
oand, who she knew was democrat.
What a shame" she exclaimed to
the woman over the fence, that we
couldn't let our husbands do this vot-
ing. Then 1 could have saved my
pie"
Wage Farmers and Old Maids.
Miss Dorman said she represented
two classes for which it was claimed
that the vote was needed, the wage
earning woman and the old maids, but
IN this country only per cent. of the
women So years old OF over are single,
so that it is really the married women
who predominant, for of the women
who reach the age of IS, there are "a

Will escape being caught by some man
before she gets through.
Woman Property Owners.
One of the last arguments of the
suffragists to which Miss Dorman paid
attention was that the woman who
holds property and pays taxes needs
the vote for her own protection.
Men own property in many states,
but have vote in only one, but their
property is just as well protected
where they have no vote as in the
state where they do vote, Miss Dor
man argued. so that to say that a
woman needs the vote to protect her
property is ridiculous. and only 10 per
cent. of the taxes are paid by women
Declaration Cards Distributed.
Ushers at the door distributed cards
to all entering which contained a blank
which could be filed out with the
statement that the signer did not be
lieve in the suffrage for women. The
ushers were the Misses Henrietta Bid
well, Olive Huntington, Elaine Hitch
on, Jennie Hitchon, Marion Powelsor
and Katherine Brown, and were under
the direction Of the vice president
Mrs. Royce.

PAY BACK THE MONEY.

Under former ruling of the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Department a stamp tax of 25 cents was required on every mortgage, carrying Power of Attorney, either real or chattel. Under this ruling the mortgagor or mortgagee had to place this stamp. And, now, after one. third of the year is gone, and nine tenths of all mortgages given and taken have been recorded or filed, up comes the Department and con- fesses that 1t was in error in it's ruling, and decides that no stamp tax is required under the law.
 As this money, for the tax, be- longs to the people who paid 1t, and not to the Government, some means should be provided to return it to its rightful own CTS. If this money cannot be re. covered from the Government without an act of Congress-, let the Congress do its duty, al once, and make provision for re.

THE SINKING OF THE LISl
 TANIi.


 one of the biggest and fastest of English ships, was torpedoed and swiftly sunk. on the Irish coast at 2::30 o'clock, on last Friday afternoon. by a German sub. marine boat. This ship car ried more than 1, 200 passengers, besides a crew of 500. Among the passengers were 1Ss Ameri- cans. More than l ,000 of these people were sent to a watery grave. without a moments mo- tice. No opportunity was gIv- en them to leave the ship and those who did escapse death did so by the quick launching of life boats, after the ship was struck with the dea tn dealing tor pc does.
 On the gigantic vessel there were passengers from many countries; but the Germans, in their eagerness to cripple English commerce have ignored all rules of civilized warfare and humani- ty. By this last heinous and most infamous outrage, they have placed themselves beyond the pale of consideration as a just, humane and upright na- ton.
 They have proven themselves worse than pirates, for the pi- rates of old murdered for booty. and they generally spar ed the women and children; but the Germans, even, did not do this much. Too cowardly to meet the English on open sea, with it's navy and fight it out with them for supremacy upon the high-seas, 1t prefers to run it's sneaklng sub- marines and murder unsuspecting and inno- cent people, without giving them the least show. There IS absolutely no palliation for such conduct, no rules of war among christian nations that can iusti- fy it. To destroy the enemy's property is one of the rules of the game, and for this no cen sure could be reasonably given; but this cannot be held as an ex- cuse for sinking this ship when it was sunk and in the manner 1t was done. Time should have been given the people to have gotten safely off before it was sent to the bottom of the sea. To destroy the property of an enemy and contraband goods, especially, might be of benefit to country, but how in the name of reason could 1t help out to murder innocent people, who had no connection or interest with either of the combattants?
 It Is true that these people had been warned that this part of the sea was in the war-zone, and, in making the voyage, they run the risk of striking a mine, which is blind, and if this had been the case no one could have been condemned for the result; but when 1t vas done by human beings, who claim to be chris tians and boast of their high civ ilization, with their eyes wide open, 1t was cold blooded, pre- meditated. deliberated assassi- nation. nothing more or less, and will leave a stain upon the German nation as long as histo- " lasts.
