BELLOWS FALLS.
Many Green Statesmen on Road.

The present prosperity of the country
has resulted in, large number Of
young men starting out on the road as
travelling statesmen. AS a rule these
men are green at their jobs and have
mot the personality nor the ''class
shown by those who start at the bot
tom and work up in whatever line they
may sell. IN one grocery store yester-
day afternoon about 80 clock there
were five travelling men and of these
four were of the type who have just
started on the road. They began to
compare experiences and their state
ments and those of the travelling man
who had had years of experience was
that there are so many men doing the
same thing now that there is no great
profit i'll it for any of the beginners.
The green men sell the cheaper class
of goods and novelties. as a rule. One
of them said that n few nights ago he
stopped at the Bardwcll in Rutland
and there were 100 travelling men reg
istered at that hotel. Being at the
junction of railroads. Bellows Fails
naturally gets its share of travelling
men at all times, but at present it
seems to be getting more than its
share.

Suffragists Attack Them for

Washington, July 14-An attack on
certain Southern Congressman for OBJ
jecting to Federal aid in fighting the
infantile paralysis epidemic in New
York is made in an editorial in the
latest issue OF "The Suffragist," the
weekly organ of the Congressional
Union for Woman Suffrage. 1t tells
that Representative Siegel of New York
urged immediate consideration OF a
resolution authorizing the Department
of Labor to extend to New York City
the use of Federal hospital buildings
now unused.
There was objection" il continues;
amendment after amendment was
added to the resolution stipulating that
the City of New York should provide
the beds and furniture and appliances.
"The objections were made chiefly
by members from Southern states, led
by Mr.. Howard. of Georgia, and Mr.:
Burnett, of Alabama, whose chief
thought seemed TO be why should the
Federal government care for these
children of New York State?'
"Yet these same gentlemen who pro-
tested last Saturday against the ex
penditure of one penny OF Federal reve
nue. to stamp out a dangerous epidemic
within the borders of one state
willingly voted for a good roads bill,
signed by the President last Tuesday,
which appropriated sS5,000,000 from
the Federal Treasury TO be spent in
improvement upon roads within state
borders"
