TWIN CITIES MAY
 SOON BE FACING
 TRACTION STRIKE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

MINNEAPOLIS. Dec. 1.-The labor situation in Minneapolis and St Paul growing out of the controversy between the Twin City Transit company and its union employees assumed threatening proportions tonight and union leaders are said to be discussing sympathetic strikes in the two cities
 Several hundred union street car men, reinforced by more than thousand sympathizers, marched on the city hall and presented to the city council resolution urging the National Council of Defense to order the rein statement of union men or. take over the street car lines in the two cities for the period of the war. The city council adopted the resolution tonight with but one dissenting vote.
 Company officials, in reply to tele- grams from Secretary of War Baker and the federal department of labor urging arbitration. declared that the differences already had been submitted to arbitration. and pointed to the or der of the state public safety com mission instructing the men to discard thelr union buttons and return to work
 Tt is clear case of 20 per cent of the company's train men trying to force unionism upon 80 per cent of our men," President Horace Lowery wired Sec retary Baker, adding that he could see no reason for again attempting ar bitration.
 The union leaders tonight declared they would stand firm against the com pany's decision that they must either remove their union badges or remain idle.

RUSSIA WILL NOT

fRepubIican A. p. Leased wIrei

DENVER, Dec 1-Russia's mill lions never will forget the millions of her sons she gave to fight Germany and the hatred of Germany inspired by German trickery and butchery will spur them on to further fighting for the cause of the allies. This was the message brought to Den yer tonight by A. s. Sack. attache at the Russian embassy at Washington; Major Stanley Washburn, American war correspondent who was with the Russian army three years, and Lieu tenant Commander Basil Hwos- chinsky.
 They were speakers at a mass meet ing tonight at the municipal audi torium.
 Forty million Russians have been deprived of a son. brother or husband possibly a father-through this war. !" said MT. Sack. Do you think this people will forget and consent to peace until that treacherous power which has robbed them of eight million loved ones has been vanquished?"
 Major Washburn described the Rus sian bravery in the face of treachery at home and the tremendous advantage the Germans possessed in the early

ty-three defendant negroes were brought to the post chapel at Fort Sam Houston where the trial was held. This compliance with military rules was the only evidence of the verdict. The negroes were taken back to the cavalry guard house.
 Colonel George Dunn, advocate gen. eral of the southern department, will review the findings of the court mar tial. After that they will go to Gen eral J. w. Ruckman, commander of the department If either disapproves they may be returned to the court for further consideration but they may not be changed. Penalties, if any, may be mitigated by General Ruchman but may not be increased.
 The trial occupied exactly one month, beginning November 1.

A VERMONT LEGISLATURE

There are two main troubles with a
Vermont legislature, and these two
main troubles embrace two classes of
legislators that somehow or other
work or buy or squirm their way up
those big broad steps. One type is
that Of the reforming, gusto- skilled,
bombastic, Col Almighty brand, that
is SO impressed with his own import
ancc that he forgets to put down his
feet when he reaches the top Of the
capitol steps. He is a worthless prop
osition, stumbling block to rational
law making and menace to the COM
munity he represents.
Then there is that other variety Of
lawmaker, far outnumbering the first
species, who is so small, so little
Drained, so utterly narrow gagged that
he actually thinks when he goes to
Montpelier that he is doing his dear
cid state out Of 81 per diem. Imagine !!
What sort Of steps toward the goal Of
public good can such an individual
conceive or accomplish?
That man who goes to the legisla-
turc Of the state Of Vermont knowing
full well that he is worth more than
81 day TO his people, (but not saying
sol completely cognizant Of the fact
that he is granting the state real
favor by his presence instead Of rob
ing il Of four plunks day, that man
knows he is bigger than the paltry
sum he receives and is actuated by
high public ideals.
He Is a real legislator. He is ft TO
lcgislate. We wish there were more
of this brced.-Swanton Courier.

PASSING OF THE
DOLLAR WEEKLY

The dollar weekly will soon be ar
institution Of the past. One after an
other these rural publications are be.
ing forced TO raise subscription rates
in order 10 meet their own increasing
costs. The stupcndous height which
print paper has reached is the domin-
ating element in the problem, but is
only one of the many ways in which
the newspaper publisher finds the cost
Of his product increased beyond all
estimates.
1t is claimed that more than $50
American weeklies have been forced TO
suspend publication on account Of
these increasing costs For the great
er nlmher, however, the other a er-
native will be tie one aton.c thai.
is, raising the subscription price above
the time honored fiat dollar per year.
The dollar was convenient unit for
dealings between publisher and patron
and when for that sum one was able
to secure ffty-two issues of an alert
publication it was dollar proftably
spent Some of the most constructive
journalistic work of the past century
was accomplished through the col
umns of the dollar weekly. Some of
the patron saints of the newspaper
profession accomplished their most
lasting results by means Of it, and the
annals of newspaperdom would lose
much of their interest and charm had
the dollar weekly not thrived so long.
But no product helps itself in the
long run by operating at loss. If it
costs more than dollar to publish the
modern weekly, the quicker the situa-
ton is understood on both sides the
better. In that case, if it is worth no
more than a dollar it will die, as it
should; if it is worth more, no one can
properly protest when the price is in
creased.
The dollar weekly has had an honor
able history and the country owes it
more than it knows. No apology is
needed if the price that sufficed half
century ago is now found inadequate.

II is with no little pride that the
average Vermonter reads of the con-

since, an insurance agent in New York
who had very large business, told US

The proposal to build state road

] should be commended and encoura ged
/ IL might not pay dividends in dollars

owing TO the increase of automobile
travel and the actual intrinsic value
of accessible natural scenery. We do
not care whether it pays or not. Shy
lock wanted a profit on every venture
but times have changed some since
the days of Shylock. We have some
things in our homes and lives that we
place there with no thought of profit,
and a state that views every detail OF
its progress with cash register con-
science will gradually shrivel up IN
its soul. The state has already built
the Norton-Island Pond road and 1t
was a creditable and patriotic thing
TO do. By all means build the Snug
gler's notch road even if it does cost
thirty thousand dollars. Then when
that is done remember that the south
end of the state deserves jsut as well
as the north end and make generous
appropriation to render passable the
old road from Arlington through Sun
derland and Stratton to the West river
valley. This mountain pass, now
practically unknown save to few
people, has an attractiveness not less
than Smuggler's notch. 1t is through
the widest and least penetrated for
est section in Vermont save one and
the Sunderland gorge or canyon is OF
striking beauty. 1t is not like the
roads between Bennington and Brat
tleboro or Rutland and Woodstock
which are commercial highways and
should be built and maintained as
such. It is an old turnpike over the
mountains and is now being closed up
BY the fast enroaching wilderness. 1t
will take only little money to fix 1t
80 that il can be used. 1t is an essen
tial part of the proper furnishings OF
southern Vermont. The state should
spend some money for such things

Of the children and grows flowers in

legislature should get together to save
the old Stratton turnpike from de-
struction and oblivion.-Evening Ban

VERMONT FIRST!

To the Eeditor:
Vermont first is the slogan of the
equal suffragists. Vermont was the
first state in the union to adopt uni
versal manhood suffrage. Why not
the first New England state to bestow
presidential suffrage upon its women?
Apart from the simple fact Of justice
to women as human beings and as
citizens Of the state who must obey
her laws, is there specific reason for
Vermont's granting this privilege to
her women during the coming session
Of the legislature? Yes, emphatically.
Vermont is a republican state and the
rule now governing the National Re
publican Convention provides that the
representation from each state be
based upon the number of republican
votes that were cast in that state at
the last preceding election. How will
this effect Vermont republican men?
After this manner. In the states
where women vote preponderance Of
power will be given to them, and Yer
mont republican men stand decided
chance Of being governed by western
women. In short, unless Vermont
women are given the presidential bal
lot, the women of western state
could outvote the state of Vermont in
national election. Ponder this, and
also the following fact. Forty per
cent of the entire vote of the state
was cast in Illinois by women. If
Vermont women voted with that per-
centage, and they would no doubt, see
how it would increase the republican
from Vermont. Re
gard this, you republican men who
will be to Montpelier shortly. You
will be outvoted in your own party by
western women unless you give your
women presidential suffrage.
But from a strictly non-partisan
view point, which is the attitude con-
vinced suffragists prefer to adopt, it
is not just that some women should be
allowed to vote and not all women.
The New York Herald remarked ed
itorially after the recent election in
this wise: at is little short Of ma
tional scandal that women should BE-
allowed to vote in some states and not
In others; that the election of presi
le1t and a national administration
shculd be committed into the hands Of
HcineE voters in one state or group Of
states when women of other states are
lenied the voting privilege"
That increasingly more women in
Vermont desire this privilege is evil
dent from the recent successful efforts
Of Mrs. Augusta C. Hughston, organ
izer, to whose call the women have re-
sponded heartily, for many Of them
we're positive heretofore, If not mega
lively opposed, have been aroused to
positive action. Your women are ask
ing for this bit Of constructive legisla-
ion to be passed this year. As legis-
AZURE you have the right to grant il
"a us. Therefore, in view Of all the
above facts will you give US presiden
ial suffrage7
