STATE PRESS
Owe Vermont An Apology.

The draft quotas fixed for the
states by the war department show
which are the states that have been
the slackest about furnishing men
for the army and little old Vermont
is up in sixth place from the front
of all the 48 states of the union, in
proportion to population, while big
and braggart New York gets into
the first division only by a narrow
margin. The draft will take SO
times as many men from the state of
New York as from the state of Ver-
mont, yet New York has only 80
times Vermont's population. The
war department demands a gross
quota of men for the regular army,
the National guard and the National
army. In drafting for the last
named, or National army, credit is
given the various states for the vol
untary enlistments in the regular
army and National guard. The war
department finds that Vermont has
supplied by voluntary enlistment
more than two-thirds of its gross
quota while the state of New York
has supplied only trifle more than
two-ffths. Of the seven leading
states of the union in voluntary en-
listment four are in New England
and Vermont is one. Figuring from
the tables printed in the New York
papers, Oregon leads all the states
in the Union by a wide margin;
Maine is second; New Hampshire,
third; Rhode Island, fourth; Wyom-
ing, fifth; Vermont, sixth; and Kan
sas, seventh. New York isn't any,
where in sight, yet the New York
papers have repeatedly slandered
Vermont lately by calling ours

Good Work, RefOrmer.
The Brattleboro Reformer is to b,

The Brattleboro Reformer is to be
complimented on it's answer to over
a column of SANDER on Vermont APP
pearing in The New London Conn
Day, written by pen artist who
contributes his stuff under the name
of "The Commentator" The Com
mentator, writing that he once lived
in Vermont, adds, Il am glad that |
don't live there now. | should be
glad of that in any event, but | am
especially thankful that | don't have
to confess citizenship in a state that
has made for itself the rotten record
that that state has established in
this matter of recruiting"
The Reformer evidently remem-
bers when The Commentator lived
in Vermont, for it makes mention Of
the days when ''he staggered about
the streets of the country village
with an aromatic breath, dawdling
with a cane" That such an individ-
ual, thrown up against the manly
native stock of a Windham county
village, should depart with feelings
not Of the kindliest is very natural
and one would expect a venting Of
spite sooner or later.
But he took wrong time and a
bad opportunity to do it, for The
Reformer nailed him to the mast af-
ter spreading his "innards" out for
fertilizer. The Messenger pities
The Commentator, for it always &C.
casions regret when such a sensitive
soul is exposed to the cruel blasts of
the truth. He is glad that he does
mt live in state with such a rotten
record as Vermont-wnich stands
seventh in the list of states for en-
listment per population-while his
own dear state of Connecticut is so
much rottener, being actually three
times further down in the list, hav-
ing done only about half as we'll as
Vermont. And the fact that Con-
necticut has not done so badly in
comparison with other states, re.
veals the excellence OF Vermont's
record. 1t is to reconcile the truth
with what he has written that
places The Commentator in such {
sorry plight.

Nominating Cardinals.

The ceremony of nominating cardi-
nals, which takes place at Rome, is
not without its picturesque side. The
consistory of the sacred college meets
In secret-though particulars of the
proceedings are afterwards given to
the press-and, following upon brief
address, the pope names the persons
he wishes to elevate to the purple.
His nomination is final, but in accord
ance with the old custom when the
cardinals voted for the election of
their comrades, he asks, "What is your
desire?" The cardinals then silently
lay down their red silk caps, rise, and
bow. 1t is the formal assent and the
new cardinals are declared elected.
England has cardinals other than
those created by the pope. At one
time there were officials of that title
attached to a number of her cathe-
drals, whose duty it was to visit the
sick and relieve the needy, but st.
Paul's is now alone in the possession
of a senior and a junior cardinal,
elected by the deans from among the
minor canons. One Of the holders of
the title In recent times was the au-
thor Of the "Jackdaw of Rheims"

Did Max L. Powell ever make such
an effort to save a life? No, lives

throughout the State. They, too.
with their plea of helpfulness to-
ward better things, defy a safe and

of human life to grasp the almighty
dollar. Will do unto others as you
would that they should do unto you"

not so long as dollars are worth

MARRIAGE NOT THE WAY OUT
Working Girl May Find Her Lot
Harder Than Ever When She
Enters Wedock.

One of the most serious obstacles
to wOman's advancement in industrial
life is the general feeling on the part
of the woman that it isn't going to be
necessary to work for any great
length of time, because the knight
will soon be coming along, when she
will have home of her own, declares
Detroit Journal.
"What's the use?" many woman
has said when it was suggested to her
that she give more thought to her
task. "The work is only temporary
so what is the use of bothering ones
brain with thinking out details?"
The exaggerated expectations of
girls as to the Improvement of their
lot when married in the matter of
work is something wonderful. Society
helps to accentuate this belief by
society frOwning on woman workers
and insisting that they go to house
keeping and get out of the industrial
grind
Now a woman in "the lower walks
of life" as one puts it, which means
woman who Is one of a family with
an Income less than will support all
the members on the wages of the
father, cannot escape work by getting
married.
With married life on small income
the necessity of work Is more pressing
than when single. For married life
presupposes more than one stomach to
be fed or one back to be clothed. In
due time, ordinarily, there will be
three, four or five mouths to be fed
and backs to be clothed. Work? Most
women know little about work until
they are married.
So married life Is not an escape
from work. The woman who does not
become "helpmeet," instead of being
simply help eat" has missed her
calling in getting married, just as she
missed her calling when employed in
store or factory or office in not becom-
ing efficient.

"VermOnt's Poor Showing"

Vermont's explanation of her poor
showing in Regular Army enlist
ments is not convincing. The fact
remains that she has contributed
the smallest number of any State in
the Union, the record for New Eng
land being as follows: Maine 685,
New Hampshire 1888, Vermont 80,
Massachusetts,: 1884, Rhode Island
ST., Connecticut, 1,552.-Providence
Journal.
There has been much guess work
among the city papers, or else "mal-
ice aforethought" in their attempt
to put Vermont in wrong on her en-
listments. The Enosburg Standard
has put the showing of all the states
and territories in a table and the
percentage of the relative standing
of enlistments in the Guard and
regular army places Vermont near
the head of the list. Hawaii comes
first with 1873 percent, Oregon next
with 80 percent, then District of
Columbia with Is percent, Maine
"a percent, Rhode Island II percent,
Wyoming 70 percent, New Hamp-
shire 60 percent, Vermont 67 per
cent. Some of the larger states ARE
we'll down in the list, New York aabe-
ing 43 percent. 1t is best to remem-
Der that Vermont holds the sixth
place among the states on enlist
ments, and with Hawaii and the dis
trict of Columbia in the list hold
eighth place. Vermont should be
credited with 200 enistments in the
regular service. This is poor show
ing" of which every Vermonter has
reason to feel proud.

HOME IDEA A COMPLEX ONE
Writer in Harper's Describes II as
He Insists That a Feminist
Sees IL.

The home idea is complex; II en-
braces privacy, possession; it implies
place where one can retreat, be
master, be powerful in a small sphere,
take off ones boots, be sulky or pleas
ant, as one likes, W. L. George writes
in Harper's Magazine. 1t involves,
above all, a place where one does not
hear the neighbours piano, or the
neighbours baby, or, with luck. the
neighbours cat but where, on the 9TH
er hand, ones own piano, ones own
baby and ones own cat are raised to
a high and personal pitch of import
ance.
1t involves everything that is in
dividual-one's own stationery block,
ones monogram upon the plate. If
the S. P. G. A. did not intervene, l
think one might often see in the front
garden a cat branded with a hot iron:
Thomas Jones. His cat" 1t is the
rallying point of domestic virtue, the
origin of domestic tyranny. 1t is the
place where public opinion cannot see
you and where, therefore, you may be-
have badly. Most wife-beaters live In
houses; in flats they would be afraid
Of the opinion of the ball porter.
The home spirit has hated theaters,
concerts, dances, lectures, every form
Of amusement; and, as 1t has to bear
them, likes to refer to them archly as
debauches, or going on the razzle-
dazzle, or the ran-dan, according to
period.
1t has powerfully allied itself with
the pulpit and, in impious circles,
with fancy work and crochet; it has
enlisted considerable portion of the
Royal academy to depict 1t in vari-
Gus scenes for which the recipe is:
One tired man with a sunny smile re-
turning to his home; one delighted
wife; suitable number of ebullient
children and, inevitably, dog. The
dog varies. In England they general
ly put in a terrier, in war time bull
dog; in Germany it may be dachs-
hund and in other countries 1t is an
other kind of dog, but it Is always
the same idea.

Quaint Raincoat.

When rain falls in tropical countries
there is no mistake about it. The rain
comes as If it meant to sweep away
all such trifies as trees and bushes.
A man who goes out in this deluge
must protect himself, but he finds that
a macintosh of the lightest kind has
its disadvantages, for If 1t keeps the
rain out, 1t also keeps the heat in.
The raincoat devised by the Mexi-
cans Is called "chino," and is so por-
Gus that the heat of the body readily
escapes, while owing to it's construc-
ton 1t keeps the wearer dry. The
chino Is made of numberless long, mar
row strips of dried palm-leaf, one end
Of each strip being woven into a light
fabric and the rest falling loose. The
wearer of this garment rustles as he
walks, and the rain pattering upon it
makes a pleasant sound. Arrived at
the house, he takes off his palm-leaf
hat, shakes 1t, and hangs it up to dry.
Then he slips off his chino, shakes
that also, and hangs it up. He him
self is untouched by the rain, but the
chino, as it hangs up, looks like a
huge, damp, brown cassock. Surely
this raincoat is the quaintest In the
world.

Confidence.

Why does this country tend always
to belittle it's wealth, it's works, its
men and Its power to meet calamity?
1t does, and yet we are thought to be
people unembarrassed by modesty.
Yankee boastfulness Is a proverb In
the world, but no Yankee ever told
quite all the truth. He never dared,
and, besides, he could not make him
self believe the whole length and depth
and breadth Of it. Dlstrusting their
own judgment, the American people
lack confidence in their great estate.
The temperament is rich in daring,
faith and optimism, but poor in con.
fidence, which is quality that comes
with time. A young people perhaps
should not have 1t. 1t is not good to
have everything.-New York Times.

WHISPERED STORY OF RUTH
And Each Little Jewish Girl Was Re-
warded With Feast Cake for
Her Effort.

In the East side of New York as
In the East end of London, the Jewish
quarter of Paris or Judengasse of Ber-
lin, thousands Of Jewish mothers and
grandmothers gathered the little
daughters Of the family to them one
night recently. Into tiny ears was
whispered the story of Ruth, the faith
full. In each kitchen stood a new
broom, and tallow candles burned
brightly on tables spread with meats,
wines and cakes.
Little daughter" each mother whis-
pered "do you know what Ruth said
to Naomi?"
Yes" each little girl replied eager
ly. She had rehearsed the great epic
for weeks. Ruth said 'Entreat me
not to leave thee, or to return from
following after thee. For whittier thou
goest, l will CO. and where thou lodg-
est, l will lodge; thy people shall be
my people, and thy god my God
And, beaming her pride, each moth
r then said:
Good Here is a cake for you"
Thus the feast of Shabuoth was
ushered in. The broom was just as
much a part of the ceremony as the
reward of a cake. With it one could
sweep out the spirits and demons, the
scheidim and masikim, which ghetto
traditions of the medieval ages insist
are present during Omer, the time be-
tween Passover and Shabuoth.-New
York Tribune.

Are Dollars Worth More Than
Lives?

The greed of mankind, the strife
for the almighty dollar, oh, how it
robs us of those essential character
istics of true, helpful and noble
manhood. The continual grasp for
this glittering lucre pushes aside
everything else in life. No matter
who you harm or what misery you
make, you must get the dollar, even
human life takes second considera-
ton in this mad rush for wealth.
He:e in Vermont, among these staid
old hills, where every breeze watts
an inspiration for better things,
symbolic Of Freedom and Unity"
and the rights of the people to pur-
sue life of happiness as vouchsafed
by the constitution, enters the de-
mon of greed. Just now the State
is battling with that dread disease,
infantile paralysis. The State board
of health is working valiantly to
stop its inroads and safeguard the
life of Vermont's children. To do
this the Board has prohibited
throughout the state the holding OF
fairs, circuses and Chautauquas, and
in infected districts every public
gathering is prohibited and the
children kept at home. There are
at present over 80 case in the State
of this dread disease and Angus
and September are the months il
which it is most virulent. From the

GAINED FAME AS PUGILlST
John Broughton, English Fighter, Only
Man Credited With Having Won
Two Priced Distinctions.

John BroughtOn, alone among Eng
fish professional pugilists, can claim
the double distinction of an Abbey fu-
neral and having had dedicated to him
poem by the poet laureate. 1t was
in 1914 that Paul Whitehead published
his "Gymnasia," or Boxing Match
which he inscribed ITO the most puis-
SAINT and invincible Mr.. John Brough-
ton" AS early as 1880 Broughton had
achieved athletic distinction as the
winner of Doggett's Coat and Badge.
The science of boxing owes much to
Broughton. "He promulgated code
for the guidance of the combatants and
the satisfaction of the judges" writes
Mr.. Guy Nickalls. His new rules were
agreed upon by pugilists and approved
of by the gentlemen on August IS, 1743,
and lasted in perfect integrity until
1888, a period of nearly 100 years. He
introduced science and humanity into
what was up till then a barbarous
sport, by not only inventing defensive
guards, but also preventing a man
being hit when he was down. He also
introduced gloves or 1nufflers for con-
Quoting mock cOmbats or sparring
matches" Broughton's patron was
the duke of Cumberland, who made him
d yeoman of the guard.
