BENNINGTON TRIBUNE.
Will Vote for Road Bonds.


Last week the Board of County
commissioners called special cleo
ton to be held in this town on Jan
uary II. for the purpose of voting
bonds in the sum of $4,000 for road
improvements in this township. The
citizens of this township presented a
petition to the commissioners asking
them to call the election.
We understand that the roads will
be surveyed and plated and that the
voters will know exactly what roads
will be improved, and the amount to
be spent on each roadway, and just
where every cent of the money will
go. Under the law it takes sixty per
cent of the vote cast for the election
to carry, and it is safe to say that
it will carry by a much larger per
cent than is required, as the people
of this part of the country are deter
mined to have the roads improved and
have decided that is only one way to
have permanent roads and that is to
vote bonds and build them.
This will be the first election ever
held in Bryan county to vote road
improvement bonds. The lead that
township nine is taking will doubt
less be followed by other townships
in the county. Every citizen Of this
township should get busy for the
bonds.

Song Recital.

Cordial appreciation characterized
the greeting extended Mrs. y. c.
Wood and Mrs. II. h. Harts, both of
Ardmore, Okla, who were presented
in song recital Thursday evening by
the Musical Art Institute and its No'
cal instructor Mrs Edla Lund. An
entire program was given by the two
singers, both of whom have soprano
voices, Mrs. Wood high dramatic
voice and Mrs. Harts a mezzo.
When Mrs. Wood singing with
Mrs Harts, 20 Lovely Peace from
Handel's Judas Maccabaeus," in the
opening duet, made her appearance on
the stage, number of persons in
the audience recalled her participa'
ton in one of Mrs. Lund's song re-
citals a year or more ago. So great
had been her progress as vocalist
during that interval of time, that one
who did not recognize her as a per
spnality, might not have recalled her
as "A singer For on the foundations
of an unusually good voice and a
genuine musical understanding, there

self-will, love Of fintry, desire to es-
cape parental control, aversion to the
normal life and duties of women
these are only a few of the reasons
assigned. From the J. standpoint of
reason and common sense, the answer
would naturally be, that economic ne
cessity is at1the bottom of the move
ment. The world has never yet been
rich enough to support half the race
in idleness. Women have always
worked, and their work has always
been a necessary contribution to the
that under the old domestic system
Of industry their work: in general re.
ceived no money wage, obscured, but
did not alter the fac:.ei that it had an
economic value. At the time of the
Lawrence strike, school official of
Massachusetts started wide discussion
by declaring that the: working man
could no longer earn enough to keep
wife and children, an that a FAM
lily wage was necessary for a family's
support. When did the average work.
Ing man ever earn enough to support
his family, without the help of his
wife and children? Even today, when
the wife's services in the home have
been reduced far below what used to
be required Of her, the plight of a
working man, whose wife dies 1eav-
ing him with two or three young chill
dren is striking proof of the economic
value of her work. His wages are as
large as they were before, but they
are no longer sufficient to keep up
the home. J he must pay another
woman for what his wife did for her
living expenses, the inadequacy Of his
earnings is manifest and unless some
unattached sister or aunt or cousin
comes to his aid, and takes the wife's
place, he is forced to break up his
home or marry again. ~. ,2..&.>
In the "Good Old Days" ."Sl
This situation was even more pro-
nounced in the olden times. Before
the days of factories, when industries
were largely carried on in the home,

share, as a matter of course, and also
as recognized matter of public pol
icy. The colonial legislation contains
numerous injunctions that all women,
girls, and boys who are mot neces-
sarily employed on other occasions
should be set to spinning, or some
similar form of industry; and the rec
ords of early travellers show that the
injunctions merely reflected public
sentiment. every house swarms with
children who are set to work as soon
as they are able to spin and card"
writes Governor Moore of New York
in 1867; and in ITO the Boston News
Letter notes that the "Laudable prac.
tice of spinning is universally in vogue
among the female children of the
town." But even where no manufact-
uring for outsiders was carried on in
the home, the women of the house,
baked and brewed and washed and
sewed, spun the wool, wove the cloth,
and made the garments, made soap,
dipped candles, salted down meat, put
up fruit, and generally prepared most

tablishment with many departments,

Then came the substitution Of ma
chinery for hand processes. the organ

OF the rural population to the cities.
Not all at, once. but steadily and ir-
resistib1y women found their age-long
industries leaving the home. Ma
chinery was taking possession of the
industrial field, and machinery meant
factories and factories meant sucn

tttion was doomed, and in addition
