Women Win Again

The women have gained another suf
trage victory; this time in Arkansas
where they can vote at the primaries for
Governor, United States Senator and
other officers.
The choice of officials in Arkansas is
made at the primaries, as there is only
one party there. The Republicans are
INCONSISTENCIES far as that state is con-
cerned. The regular election simply
afirms the selections made at the pri-
naries, so that to all intents and pur-
poses they have a voice in the selection
of state officials and Congressman. They
have no privilege of voting for President,
but that makes no difference, as every
body there-who votes-votes the Ma.
tional Democratic ticket anyhow. and
everybody knows how the state went
before the votes are counted.

Recruits Coming In

Nearly five thousand men of quality
were enlisted into the regular army
during the month of February, so reports
the enlisting Offices. 1t is expected that
by June the army will have been recruited
up to its maximum strength allowed by
law. Ordinarily in peace times it is hard
to get recruits, as army life makes small
appeal to American young men. A war
scare is the best stimulus for increasing
the regulars and the fact that so many
young men are presenting themselves in
dicates that despite the pacific sentimen-
talists who have labored to leave the
country open and exposed to attack, the
spirit of the youth of the nation is still
patriotic.
There will be plenty OF young men to
follow the flag If they are summoned to
the co1ors.

The bill abolishing county fish and
game wardens, was made special order
for Tuesday, March 20.
Senator Villas made a single. handed
fight in behalf of S. 1O3, to abolish the
Fair Haven probate district, but the
measure was ably attacked by Senators
Aldrich, Chalmers and Dunton of Rut-
land county and was defeated on a YEA
and nay vote, % to l.
In the House divided report on n.
z26, relating to the salary of the bank
commissioner, caused a lively debate in
which Mr.. Fenton of Rutland explained
that the bill merely proposed that the
commissioners salary should be paid bv
the state instead of by the banks. The
bill was also favored by Mr.. Williams of
Proctor, but was opposed by M. Moore
of Ludlow, Mr.. Pollard of Cavendish and
Mr.. aiken of Putney. so that the third
reading was refused by an uproarious
mo" vote which left no doubt as to how
the House stood.

SINGLE File.

When the Indians Travelled together
they seldom walked or rode two or
more abreast, but followed one anoth-
er in single file. 1t has been thought
by some that this practice resulted
from the lack of roads. which COM
PEELED them to make their way through
woods and around rocks, by narrow
paths. If this were the real reason
for the practice, then we should expect
to find that the tribes who lived in
open countries travelled in company, as
do whites. The true reason for jour
neying as the Indians did in single file
seems to be a feeling Of caste. This
feeling was at the bottom Of other
customs of the Indians. 1t made their
women slaves and rendered the men
silent and unsocial. This popularity
is Asiatic. How it has warped and
disfigured Hindu life is well known.
The women of a Chinese household are
seldom seen i'm the street. The chill
dren, when accompanying their father,
follow him at a respectful distance, in
single file and in the order Of their
ages.

In speaking of the discussion on the
State Board of Control Bill in the House
last Friday, the st. Johnsbury Caldonian
does Representative Moore great in
justice when it says "the farmer members
of the House listened to the harranguing
OF E. E. Moore and voted themselves out
of any representation thereon" Mr..
Moore opposed the bill aud spoke against
it-just as any member had right to.
Because this member did not see fit to
fall in line with the bill it is not right to
SANDER him for the stand he took. Mr..
Moore is man of intelligence and his
remarks were his honest conviction and
received what every member gets, or
should, fair and respectful hearing.

calls Mr.. Moore's remarks harrangue.

upon it most luxurious armchair. In
quiry as to its purpose soon cleared up
the myster..
1t seems that Ali Dinar, who had re-
ceived two very fine mOtorcars as a
present, found to his disgust that it
was impossible for him to use them
owing to there being no roads near his
capital. He had communicated with
his agent in Cairo and ordered him to
find something which he could use.
The agent consulted some friends
and on their suggestion purchased a
steam roller, on which he had placed
an armchair, it not being considered
consistent with the dignity of the sui
tan that he should ride in the cab of
the engine.
The machine cost no less than f2,50O,
but expense was no object, and in due
course the steam roller arrived at El
flasher. 1t completely took the fancy of
the capricious sultan, who, posing in
the armchair, lost no time in trying it.
To every ones surprise it negotiated
the "roads" without difficulty, though
its speed was necessarily very slow.
The sultan was nightly pleased with
the arrangement and never failed to
use his steam roller whenever he pro-
ceeded on tour through his territory.
One can well imagine that the royal
progress in this style did not fail to in
crease the awe with which this fierce
monarch was already regarded by his
subjects.

SUITED THE SULTAN.
Az Expense Cut No Figure, He Got Just
the Car He Wanted.


1t appears that Ali Dinar, the late
sultan of Darfur, whose turbulence
brought about the recent English ex-
petition which took possession Of his
territory, was very much taken with
the various inventions which science
has of late years produced, says the
Cairo correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette.
When the expeditionary force entered
Eel flasher, the capital of Darfur, they
found that this town, buried in the CEN
ter of Africa, was connected with most
of the outlying villages by telephone,
which had its exchange in the sultan's
palace, where also were found e.al
of the most modern monographs
equipped with the latest European and
Arabic records.
One of their most astonishing finds"
was a huge steam roller which lad
