Woman is a tender, sympathetic
being who is put ON this earth to
share man s joys and sorrows but not
his pocketbook. For some reason which
has never been satisfactorily ex-
planned, the average husband is will
ing to let his wife carry 90 per cent
of his troubles, so long as she is salts
fed with 10 per cent of the pay check.
Some women rebel against this divi-
sion, and draw up pre-nuptial con
tract splitting the proceeds fftyffty.

The March Meeting Ballots.
Bennington Banner. J

The state of Vermont through
the secretary of state s office is about
to commit a serious injustice to the
voters of Vermont in the form of bal
lots to be used at the March elections
There are to be three referendum bal
lots-one on the Perry bill, on the
Primary question. and one on the YES
and no vote on the question of license
The fact that the ballots are some
what similar should have convinced
anybody that each ballot required Il
heading easily read and easily distin-
guishable from the others. Instead of
that it is stated that the ballots carry
no heading whatever and the voter
must read the text to Identity his bal
lot. This means that a considerable
percentage of partially illiterate voters
will be disfranchised. Another serious
mistake is that the various ballots are
to be on tinted paper and the sample
ballots on tinted paper also, but of
different tint This means further con
fusion for the unschooied voter. 1t
would be difficult to work out a more
effective method of DISTINGUISHING q
large number of voters on March
than this ballot confusion which ap-
pears to have come about through
thoughtlessness and accident in spite
of the lesson of two years ago when
the statehouse referendum mixed up

three now so that the situation this

Careful reading OF the following

pin pool This was one of the most
sensible and satisfactory arrangements
that could be devised and enabled
large droves of exhausted citizens to
lay in complete stock of rest. But
what do we see today? We see woman
refusing to support the family with
out help and even demanding au al
lowance of % or 80 cents week. The
weekly allowance cannot be too
strongly condemned by the press and
clergy. 1t is a cunning device to separ-
ate tight husbands from the wives of
their bosom, and should be nipped III
the bud before it destroys the Amer
lean home.
The growing independence of wo-
man is illustrated by the fact that
some men are not allowed to carry a
key to the front door, but have to
give three knocks and the seminar
nual password before being admitted
after two clock in the morning
The woman suffrage movement also
shows that man is slowlT drifting ii
to obscurity, oblivion and decay, and
will soon be given the choice of vot-
ing the same wa his wife does OIL

mony to the fact that woman can get

Railroad managers say the move for
an eight-hour day involves 100000 men
and 100000 miles of railroad, and that
if the demand of the men is granted
it will mean an extra expenditure of
$looo00,oo0 a year in wages, All things
considered, it is a big proposition and
affords another striking evidence that
the railroad business in this country
and age is not altogether bed of
roses.

Dreadnaughts Can't
 Pass Through Canal

WASHINGTON. D. C., June 1S.- In the navy department the naval experts are more worried over con ditions at the Panama canal than ever before, owing to the trouble that threatens the United States and Mexico. Naval officers are non plussed because of the fact that the Panama canal is not wide enough to permit dreadnaughts to pass through it. Ships of 1OO-foot beam are the widest that can get through, and the larger dreadnaughts are constd- erably wider than this.
 When the Panama was first start ed, it's proposed width was wider than the beam of any boat then under construction or contemplated, but later developments in naval construction have worked such great changes that the difficulty is now one that is giving the heads of the department a great deal of worry

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, June 1S.-- general here, has closed the con sulate and gone to Matamoras Pri or to going, however, he delivered an ultimatum from General Ricaut, the Carranza commander of MeNl- can troops at Matamoras, to Gen eral Parker, commanding the Amell- can forces here, to the effect that unless the Anderson punitive eXpedi- tion is withdrawn, the MeXicans will attack it. The Anderson eXpe- dition is now at San Benito, MeXi- co, about 100 miles southwest of Matamoras, having gone there in pursuit of one of the numerous bands Of bandits which have been infesting the border.
 In reply to the ultimatum, Gen eral Parker informed Consul Garza that the Anderson expedition Was sent into Mexico under the puui- tive expedition agreement between Mexico and the United States. Garza replied that he understood that sit nation and expressed deep regret that he had to deliver the ultima tum, adding in his own way, how ever, that unless the expedition is withdrawn, Major Anderson's troops will certainly be attacked.
 Therefore, as consequence of the ultimatum, the troops here ale being held in readiness to march at a moments notice. Considerable fear for the safety of the Anderson expedition is felt. The nearest re Inducements for Anderson consist of a detachment of 40G troopers of the Third cavalry. They are encamped in Mexico about ten miles out of Matamoras. Fear that they will be attacked is also expressed in military circles here.
