WHY PAY CASH?

1t is easy to protest against the high
| cost of living, but has it ever occurred
TO YOU that the credit system is respOn-
slble FOR 20 per cent of the total bill
Perhaps not, but it is true Just the
same. Why, how is that, you ask?
Well, briefly, as follows. Your very

llcltor to take your orders. cost No. /.
He cannot make his rounds and get
back to the store before ten O'Clock,
so large force must be employed to
get out the orders that they may be
delivered by Il, SO you see that high
priced clerks have been almost idle
until 10 o'clock; this constitutes cost
No. .. Every merchant knows the ex-
pense of delivering small orders often
amounts to more than the total price
paid for the goods; this makes cost
No. 3. Entering the charge on the
books is expense No. 4. Making
out the bills is another tax,
making No. 5. Stationery and
fellows delay in settling his bills and
the annoying collector brings it to No.

counts on the books is No. .. And

If you go to a real cash store you can
do so, but If you go to cash or credit
store you will find it can not be done.

THE ATTACK ON THE SCHOONER
LAW

The destruction of the American
schooner Lyman NJ. Law comes right
home to New England because the
schooner was a Yankee ship from Maine
and many of the crew were "down-east
ers." The crew were warned OF the i'm
pending attack by the submarine and
were given a chance TO get off the yes
sci; so the attack in those respects was
within the rules of international rela-
tions. lnasmuch as the ship was blown
up by bomb placed in the ship by the
submarines crew, it may be taken for
granted that the attacking force inspect
cd the cargo and found the cargo to be
eontraband. If that supposition is cor
rect, the sinking of the schooner was
justified under international rules. The
elimination of those considerations would
leave the only known cause of friction
as to the charge that the attacking sub
marine carried no flag, as required by in
ternational law; but that minor detail,
as it appears to us, would not constitute
a cause of war, or even of the severing
of diplomatic relations with Austria pro-
viding, of course. that the submarine was
really Austrian.

must be admitted that the formal action
of the German government in asking
that the American flag be lowered was
an irritation because of the belief of the
entente allies and the neutral world that
Belgium is merely held by right of pow
er and is not, in effect, German territory.
The American people will not look upon
the request as anything more than the
out of German policy of hold
ing belligerent territory until ousted

ANTS UFFRAGISTS HEARD.
Talk Was Kept Up for Nearly Four
Hours Last Night.

Women who do not favor the granting
OF suffrage to women in Vermont ap.
peared at the State House last evening
and for nearly four hours argued their
cause while one of the largest crowds
gathered there this session listened
The bill under consideration was the
one introduced by Rev. Fraser Metzger
| of Randolph granting women the right
to vote for presidential electors hut the
entire question of woman suffrage was
covered in the arguments on both sides.
Those opposing the bill were Mrs. David
s. Conant OF Bradford, president of the
Vermont Association Opposed to Suf-
frage, Mrs. H. r. Watkins of Burlington.
Mrs. b. r. Demerritt of Duxbury, Miss
Jenny Valentine of Bennington, Mrs.
Frank Lowe of Montpelier, Mrs. Robert
Lawrence of Rutland, Mrs. A. b. Buell.
of Burlington, and Mrs. B. L. Robinson
of Cambridge
The suffragst speakers were led by
DIR, Grace w. Sherwood of st. Adams,
president of the Vermont Equal Fran
ehise league, and included Mrs. Fred B.
Blanchard Of Montpelier, Miss Grace
Clark of Montpelier, Miss Ellen Hoar
of Barre, and Mrs. A. A. Parmelee OF
Enosburg Falls, Representatives Fra
ser Metzger of Randolph, Ernest Moore
of Ludlow and l. S. LaFleur of Middle
bury pledged their support to the meas
ure.
The speakers who opposed woman suf-
frage eontended that men and women
were created fundamentally different,
and that their sphere was not that OF
government which must be backed up by
force The majority OF Vermont women
did not want the ballot, they declared,
and expressed their willingness to cease
their opposition whenever referendum
showed a majority OF the women of the
state in favor of such measure. Women
did not want the responsibility of the
il was stated, and the mad
OF the governments adding
large number of unframed voters at the
present time was emphasized.
The extra expense of the enfrsEehis-
ing of women was also dwelt upon and
it was demonstrated that only very
small percentage of women having the
right to vote upon school questions did
so. One OF the speakers stated that the
OF women meant the down
fall of democracy and the imperiling of
The best of our American womanhood.
DIR. Sherwood confined her remarks
strictly to the question at issue and
briefly traced its history. She said that /
women wanted the ballot not to get !
something but to give their best to the
state and nation. She urged the legis- |
ators not to use their grsndfather's
ipeetacles in looking at the question, but
% view it from modern standpoint. !,
drs. A. A. parmelee, who conducted the |
uffragist rbuttaI made lengthy speech
which was replete with witty remarks
nd telling arguments covering the en-
ire suffrage question.

LACK OF PROPER GOVERNMENTAL
COORDINATION.

II Secretary of the Navy Daniels had
consulted President Wilson he never
would have been permitted to pass the
Bartholme- Bryan non might message along
by wireless to Germany; and his act in
letting the message through when the
tone of the message was radically differ
ent from the attitude taken by the ad-
ministraion constitutes a serious breach
of official etiquette, as well as an affront
TO the chief executive OF the nation. Too
often during the Wilson regime there has
been tendency among under officials,
albeit heads of departments. to go it
alone, so to speak, regardless of whether
the course of action be in accord with
the views of the administration or not
and the results have been somewhat
damaging to the prestige OF the admin
istration, if not of the whole country.
Of late, however. President Wilson has
shown a tendency to maintain his own
counsel and to bring in the other officials
for conference only as the last resort.
He cannot well be blamed for his action
in that respect, although, admittedly, il
is not always the safe course in a demo-
cratic form of government. He needs TO
go further than that now, and that is to
hold his heads OF departments to strict
accountability and, furthermore. TO in
sist that they consult with him before
doing anything which might have a tend
ency to embarrass the government in a
very delicate situation. Secretary OF
the Navy Daniels, through his failure to
cooperate completely with President
Wilson in critical juncture. has for
feited his right to remain a. a member
Of the cabinet. President Wilson ought /
TO get man al the head Of the impor-
tant department who. while = man Of
initiative and progressiveness. would be
willing to work in close sympathy with
The aims OF the administration.

HAULING DOWN THE FLAG AT
BRUSSELS.

The United States Gag was lowered
from the embassy in Berlin and from
the consular buildings all through Ger
many when President Wilson asked Ger
many to recall Won Bernstorff as am
bsssador and itself ordered Gerard to re-
turn home from Berlin. That was in
conformity with the usual mode of pro-
cedure, and it caused no protest in the
United States inasmuch as it was expect
cd that the German flag would go out of
sight in the United States as far as Off
rial display OF it was concerned. Brus-
sells is located in territory which was
captured from the Belgians BY the Ger
mans almost at the outset of the war
and has been held by the Germans since
that time under German government.
The American legation building in Brus-
sells continued to float the American col
mrs because the United States and Ger
many were not at war Then came the
break between the two countries. and the
natural sequence OF events 1.-THE Germans
maintaining that Belgian territory held
by them was, temporarily at least. Ger
man soil was that formal request
should be made for the lowering OF the
stars and Stripes from the legation
building in Brussels inasmuch a. diplo-
matte relations between the two nations
were completely cut of. BY one inter
probation, Germany was within her
rights in making the request because to
al intentions and purposes Brussels lies
within the German realm al the present
time: and there i no need for great ex-
ritement in the United States over that
one unrelated incident. However, il

away with it. There is very little like.
lihood that Mr.. Sinclair's measure will
be enacted, according to opinion ex-
pressed by many of the members, al
though the referendum clause may at
tract some who voted to keep the pri-
mary when the repeal bill was up for
action last month.
| The lognest debate of the season in
the House and one in which nearly a
score OF members took the opportunity
to display their oratorical powers was
precipitated when II. l07, establishing a
nine-hour day for mills, factories and
manufacturing establishments, was TAX
en- up as special order. The commit.
tee on commerce and labor had reported
the bill unfayorably and after two yea
and nay votes the bill was rejected lit
to l03 The first roll call was made on
the question of postponing indefinitely
and the motion To that effect was lost,
wishing to dispose of the measure for all
time.
Mr.. Moore of Ludlow was the introucer
of the bill and he tried to save it by
offering an amendment which eliminates
the word SHOPS"
Mr.. Moore said he wanted to see the
passage of the bill, because it would
give the workingmen a chance to spend
more time with their families. He cited
platforms of the various political par
ties, which have for years urged legis-
lation for the laboring man, and claimed
the measure was along the lines. Mr..
Hunt of Danville, Mr., Beard of Water
vile and Mr.. Steele of Highgate favored
the bill and MIR. Candon of Pittsford OPP
posed. Mr.. Wilson of Bristol favored
its passage because the laboring men of
his town wanted it. Mr.. Moore in re-
ply to a question by Mr.. Phelps of Fair
Haven said the representatives of the
American Federation of Labor favored
the bill. Mr.. Lawson of Barre Town
made a plea for the bill and then the
motion to postpone indefinitely was de-
feated liz to l05. and the motion to re-
iect was agreed to by vote of liz to

Gerard in Paris must feel as ii he were
almost at home. France and the United
States have been drawn together ire
mendously during the progress of the
war, aside from the fact that both are
republics and thus have kindred feelings.
To-day there exists between the peoples
of the two nations about as strong
bond of sympathy as between the United
States and any other nation, not except
ing Great Britain itself. France and the
United States are bound to be firm allies
in thought if not in fact in the new
alignment that will follow the end OF
the strife.
