The MeddIer
If the coat fts gou. put 4 on"

A noticeable feature of Tuesday :.
town meeting was the absence Of to
bacco smoke. The reason, of course
was the presence of the women, who
made their initial appearance as voter
on town affairs and comported them
selves az if the privilege of the ballot
had always been theirs. Whether or
not it was due to feminine influence
The Meddler is unable to say, but the
fact remains that the meeting was char.
acterized by less wrangling than usual
and the business completed in a short
er time. Now that women taxpayers
have been placed on equal footing with
men it is easy to see what an impor-
tant influence on the conduct of town
affairs they can exert if they wish. and
in view of the number who were pres

In allowing themselves to be elected
overseers of the poor the selectmen as
sumed a responsibility which already is
giving them something to think about
In fact, if they undertake to handle the
details of this work they are likely to
discover a lot Of trouble before the end
Of the year. Personally The Mcddler is
strongly of the opinion that the best
course for the selcctmcn to adopt Is to
engage a competent person TO take
charge Of the town poor work with the
exception Of The farm, whose conduct
the law makes ono Of their duties. such
plan would make possible "a cousolida

bringing about a far greater efficiency
than is possible under the present hit

ISOLATED Press The middle aged may
have their boyhood days RECALLED next
summer by the, appearance of a long
line OF circus wagons travelling over

Because the government has taken
charge Of the railroads and annulled
many OF, the trains, circus managers
predict that the big and small circus
organizations win have to travel from
town to town next season over the
paved roads instead of by railroad. A
local CIRCUS manager has already con
tracted for extra circus wagons and
teams to pull his shows from place to
place next year instead of depending
upon the railroads which are over.

One large circus organization is now

The Hawaii Promotion Committee

his opinion TINT promotion work should

veloped, 90 that when the war Is over

Mr.. Telney expressed the opinion
that the committee should 20 out, OF

The chairman believes that IL the

is concerned, and will have to begin
all over again, and be at o disadyan-
tage with places closer at home for

Secretary +. j.. Halton argues along
the, same lines, saying also that Sec,
rotary Of the Treasury MeAdoo had not
contemplated taking of passenger train
service in the West to such an extent
as to cripple the service. He (, says
that up to January Is no drastic mems
ure had been taken to interfere with
