WOMAN'S PEACE
PARTY MEETING

An audience Of about 100 greeted
Mrs. Evans of Boston, who spoke in
the Gymnasium on Wednesday even
ing of last week. Mrs. Evans had re-
Gently returned from The Hague Peace
Conference of women, where Miss
Jane Adams of Chicago was chair
man. The conference was carried on
in three languages. II was composed
of American, English, German, Aus
trian, Belgian, Polish, Dutch, Italian,
Swedish, Norwegian and other ma
tionalities. Its object was not only
to express "a passion Of revolt against
the cruelty and the waste" of war, but
also to demand "as human being, and
the mother half of humanity" a right
to be consulted about war.
Mrs. Evans gave an interesting
sketch Of the conference where two
English women sat on the platform
on one side of Miss Adams and two
otIiildH WOHleH VII tie otiiNi anu
where, each time that any opportunity
offered to cheer the American chair
man, she was greeted with thunderous
applause.
Mrs. Evans also made the audience
realize afresh the stupidity as well as
the fendishness of war; and the fact
that being in the right has nothing TO
do with being victorious. The side
that is in the wrong is quite as likely
TO win as the side in the right.
Mrs. Putnam of Bennington, also
spoke briefly about the organization
of the Woman's Peace Party, which
several Of the audience joined on the
spot. Anyone interested can secure
the platform Of the party by applying
to Miss s. N. Cleghorn, Manchester,
and would be warmly welcomed as a
member.

the President. Combined, the two
constitute the electric current which
permits the machinery of the law to
be set in motion.
Many members of Congress and 9th
ers familiar with the history of this
safety at sea" act believed that it
would go into effect July l, and are
surprised and disappointed that under
the opinion of the Attorney General it
will not begin to operate until Novem-
Der, after the season for water travel
is over.
In most instances a failure to fix
definitely the date statute shall be
enforced involves only financial consid-
erations. But in law designed for
the protection of humanity, lives are
at stake and the necessity for the
highest degree Of care becomes imper-
alive.

BOYS STOCK JUDGING CONTEST

One Of the new features to be under
taken at the County Fair at Manches-
ter next September is a stock judging
contest for boys and young men under
the age of 81 years. First, second,
third and fourth premiums Of $40, 81,
SIS and SO respectively are offered.
The contestants will judge horses,
cattle, sheep, and swine according to
regulations to be announced later. The
contestants whose judging approaches
closest that of the regular judges will
receive the premiums. 1t is possible
that the premium winners will be TAX
en- to the State Fair to compete in a
state wide contest in which larger
prizes are offered.
In order that the boys may derive
the greatest amount Of good from this
contest the State Agricultural Exten-
sion Service is sending representa-
tive to Bennington County to cooper
ate with the County Agricultural
Agent in holding several Judging
demonstrations. These demonstra-
tons will be held in the towns Of
Rupert, Dorset, Manchester, Sandgate.
Arlington, SALISBURY and Benning-
ton, June 2lst to oath inclusive. Those
in attendance at these demonstrations
will be given instruction in stock
judging. AS these viii take place on
farms the boys will be able TO see as
well as hear how ii is done. Printed
matter will be furnished for subse-
quent study. Definite announcements
Of time and location Of these demon
strations will be made later by means
of posters and circulars. Persons in
terested should be on the lockout for
these.

BOB0LINk

What voice is that | wake 10 hear
This early morning hour,
Whose tones ring out so rich and clear
With music's charming power,
Which brings a vision TO mine eyes
OF violet-spangled hill
And meadow where the swallow flies,
Where flows the Battenkill-
A vision Of cottage home
O'er-looking mead and stream
And town beyond and mountain dome,
A lovely waking dream
II is voice that oft ] heard
In childhood's happy day,
The thrilling song Of that sweet bird
Bright Bobolink the Gay.

OUR REGULAR WASH
INGTON LETTER

Washington, d. c. June 14-ThC
charge of inexcusable carelessness ii
the enactment of an important statute
has again been sustained against the
Democratic administration.
The errors occurs in statute di-
rectly affecting the safety of human
/ lives. The safety at sea- act, passed
to promote the welfare of American
seamen" and to prevent if possible a
repetition of the Titanic" steamship
disaster with its appalling loss of life
little over three years ago, failed to
clearly fix the date it should become
effective. Two different days were
named for enforcement, one four
months later than the other.
Section IA Of the act revises the
regulations regarding lifeboats, life
RATS, life belts and similar equipment
for preventing loss of life in case of
accident, and declares that the regula-
tons must be enforced and obeyed ION
and after July /, 1915, on steamers
navigating the ocean or any lake, bay
or sound Of the United States"
Section Is Of the same act contains
a squarely contradictory provision de-
claring that "this act shall take effect,
as to all vessels Of the United States,
eight months from its passage" etc.
Two conflicting opinions have been
rendered by legal officers of the adj
ministration on this statute. The So
ilcitor Of the Department Of Com
merce first found July !, 1915, as the
date Congress intended the law to OPP
crate as to American vessels. The
Attorney General reversed this opin-
ion and ruled that Congress intended
November 4 1915, as the time for en-
forcement.
When the Titanic" sank and car
ried so many hundreds 10 an ocean
grave, the world was shocked TO dis
cover the inadequacy Of laws the en-
forcement Of which would have great
~ reduced the number Of fatalities.
There was a universal demand for the
immediate enactment Of better laws to
safeguard ocean travel.
Ii is shocking now to find that in the
statute enacted in response 10 this de-
mand there is an error that leaves in
ioub the time Of lis operation, and
has made il necessary for an individ-
lal rather than Congress TO determine
when the law shall be enforced.
A blunder Of this type is monumen-
tai. In al parliamentary procedure IT
Is elementary that definite date for
the enforcement Of law is practical
~ as important as the signature Of

gave you moderate price. And, by cutting out
excess, crudity and waste cut tire cost and fuel
cost in two.
Now this model, whose price suggested low grade,
has become the modern ideal of high-grade car.
Another attraction in this new-year model is
conception of artistic beauty.
We have been growing toward this body type for
years. First fore doors, then the straight-ne
body, then the stream-line Now, climax comes
lines so graceful and sweeping that we call this the
Yacht-line Body. Every appearance suggests THE
Road Cruiser" which its designers call it. Even the
door tops upholstered to secure unbroken lines.
Now leather binding protects the whole top of the
body.
The tonneau is extra-wide and roon1y. The rear
seat has been widened, the sides and back height
ened. With seven in the car no person is crowded.
And two of the seats disappear when not wanted,
doubling the tonneau room.

has leather of this kind been used in at this price

ANOTHER 5000 REDUCTION
First we've reduced the price by another $500.
That makes S400--23 per cent-since this new type
first came out
To grasp that remember former conditions. Only
little time ago $4,000 was low price for Six. The
cheapest Six cost 2l2 times HUDSON'S price to-day.

1913 at a S750 price. 1t startled Motordom Some

AT that new price, men bought 10000 OF the 1913
model They forced us to treble our output, to buld
enormous factory additions. And now we are able to
quote you 81 $50 on this famous Six.

ST ates Attorney Stanton he was held
in $4,000 bail for removal to At
lanta. He will be given another hear
ing before the commissioner on Au-

would place at the disposal of the
cotton growers within four years a
