JURY FAILS TO AGREE IN
SUIT BETWEEN UNDERWRITERS

The Bracken Chronicle says: The
Jury failed to agree in the damage
suit of Corlis & Thompson, Brooks
vile undertakers, against Pumpelly
and Steen, Augusta undertakers, the
jury standing seven for awarding a
small amount of damages and five
against.
This suit grew out of the burial OF
Mark Day, who died in Cincinnati
hospital in August, 1917, and through
some misunderstanding at the hospi-
tai the body was turned over to Mr.
Corlis for burial, after which it was
alleged that some charges were made
against the Brooksville undertakers
that were detrimental to them, hence
the suit for damages. This suit was
for $4,000, and we are informed that
there are two other suits pending but
we have been unable to learn whether
or not they will be brought to trial

R. R. CAR SHORTAGE
IS AGAIN IN PROSPECT
U. .. Railroad Administration Officials
Fear Another Serious Car Short
age For Coming Winter.

The following statement was au-
thorized today by the Regional Direc-
tors office, Southern Region, United
States Railroad Administration:
Another shortage of freight cars is
In prospect for the coming fall and
winter Instead of the surplus of
equipment to be found, on nearly all
railroads during the dull days before
the after-the-war business revival set
In, every piece of equipment now is in
use on many lines and only the most
careful handling by the railroads with
consistent and whole-hearted cooper
alton from the shipping public can
prevent serious interference with
business.
Federal Managers have been called
upon by the Railroad Administration
to utilize equipment in the fullest pos
sible extent, and particularly to see
that cars are set in motion promptly
upon being loaded or unloaded.
shippers are asked to lend a hand
body by reducing detention of cars to
a minimum and by careful and heavy
loading so that the greatest possible
service may be had from each car.
From purely selfish business stand
point, of course, 1t is to the interest of
the individual shipper and receiver of
freight to do his part toward minimiz-
ing the effects of a car shortage from
which he will suffer along with the
public generally"

Matter Of Right. Not Dollars.

1.-THE Herald presents its best respects
to Annette, of Enosburg, who says, in re-
lation to the poll tax for women; let
the legislature treat us as equals by put
ting us upon an equal poll tax basis
We suspect, however, that quite a lot of
enthusiastic he-suifragettes are not so
keen on paying taxes for two or three
adult women as they might be, "-Rut-
land Herald.
One wonders whether it was this con
sideration of a few dollars that prompted
the House to pass the optional measure.
If so, this is trying to compromise with
plain right and duty, combined One
also wonders whether some men, secretly
opposed to woman suffrage, but desiring
for expediency's sake to appear TO he in
favor voted for the optional bin because
they believed it would serve to keep
women at home instead of going to the
polling places, As for paying the poll tax
the women wouldn't have TO deny them
selves of more than a couple of shows, a
few trips to the movie, or a few ice cream
sundRs in order to have sufficient funds
to meet the tax. 1t isn't money propo-
sition at ALL however; it is whether the
women should have equal rights with
men at the polls, and ii they should, then
it follows naturally that their obliga-
tions should be equal,--St Adams Mes
senger.

cast proxy votes; that is, he placed his
initials on two ballots Ito show the
proxy, we suppose) and folding them in,
side of his own ballot dumped three bal
lots into the box. He claimed that the
two votes other than his own represented
the votes of soldiers who could not be
present; therefore, he exercised the right
of suffrage for them. But the board of
civil authority, after due consideration,
threw out the two proxy ballots and its
action was sustained by the committee
on suffrage and elections in the House of
Representatives when the st. George seat
came TO be contested on the ground of a
tie vote, Perhaps it is unnecessary to
commend the St George board of civil
authority for making such decision,
which was obviously in the line of cor
rect action; but the attempt at perver-
sion of the ballot through casting of
proxy votes in st. George leads to the
wonder whether some lax election Off
cials or boards Of civil authority in some
other Vermont towns may not have per-
mitted the thing to be carried out, there
being so many soldiers and sailors away
from home on election day. If so, the
published decision of the committee on
suffrage and elections in the Vermont
House of Representatives ought to serve
as a precedent in all future cases which
may arise. There must be no proxy vot.
ing under the Australian ballot system.
Among the other interesting develop
ments of this st. George election was the
doubt over the marking of ballots. Two
of the ballots cast for one of the candi-
dates for representative had the name of
the candidate written twice on each bal,
lot, once above the printed line designed
for insertion of names and with the
name crossed out in each instance, and
once on the line where names were in
tended to be placed and with the names
followed by the familiar cross. Those
two ballots were thrown out by the
board of civil authority but were count
ed by the committee on suffrage and cleo.
tons, the latter action, we believe being
correct. But there was more doubt about
the correctness of the decision in the
case of another vote on which was writ
ten the name of candidate but without
the cross following the name. This vote
was thrown out by the board of civil au-
thority but was counted by the commit
tee on suffrage and elections. Although
there was no doubt about the intent Of
the voter in this case, there was some
question about the legality Of the ballot;
and on that point court decision might
be necessary to settle the contention.
There probably have been decisions on
points of this nature which might have
been consulted, In fact, there is a wide
field for investigation in this little CON
test from st. George, town of 100 pop
ulation when the soldiers are all home,
and the research would be worth the cost
because of the precedents to be estab,
lished

Methods of Courtmartial.

The testimony as to courtmartial
methods, which General Ansell adds in a
letter to the chairman of the House judi
ciary committee, tends to strengthen
the prima facie case not only against
the eourtmartial system itself, but
against the manner of ite operation Gen.
eraI Ansell's chief may have been right
and he himself wrong with respect to
the guilt OF four soldiers, whom he
says were condemned to death on gross
ly insufficient evidence, but surely it
should have been possible to take the
case higher up without the intercession
o! a member of Congress with the presi-
dent. General Crowder's side Of the
whole matter at issue is yet to be heard,
but certainly General Ansell seems TO
have both justice and common sense on
his side in his recommendation of the
three reforms; An independent judicial
authority to determine whether an ac-
cused shall be brought to trial, an indie
pendent legal officer to determine the
question Of law and a judicial review Of
the proceedings and findings An efficient
army system must have q place for at
least the simplest principles recognized
in a civil court of iustice.--Springfeld

The New Attitude Toward America.

Before the entry of America into the
war, the American was but little known
in Europe, and what was known Of him
was not liked. He was almost invariably
a tourist for pleasure, and was rather
prone TO regard the people and places
that he saw as made for his pleasure
like the figures on movie screen. Nat
urally, the people Of Europe did not en-.
Joy being regarded as curios for his bene.
fit, and disliked him. This dislike was
augmented by the freedom Characteristic
Of American manners as cOntrasted with
the constraint of the old world, and by
the garbed accounts of wild and sensa-
| tional doings which the journals OF Eu-
rope delight to Gull from the yelowest
section of the American press. Many
an intelligent, well-inf0rmed Frenchman
or Englishman used to believe that there
were butfaloes in Buffalo and that red.
painted Indians were a common sight in
the streets of New York. The movies
have not served to dispel this impression
After the war began, and we seemed
unconcerned for anything but our own
rights, to the boasting, money -grubbing,
and vulgarity which formed the chief
traits Of the foreign picture of us, there
was added the mark Of cowardice. The
presidents "too proud TO fight did us no
good in this regard When this impress
sion was broken down, first by our entry
into the war, and then by our contribu,
tions of men and of arms and by our
prowess in battle, there was reaction
and for a while the Americans were idol

them; there was nothing that they were
not expected to do Later, sturdy, com
petent, clean, and brave as our men were,
when they proved themselves to be men,
not demigods-when the cannon and the
airplanes did not come .-yer as quickly
as they should hsve-there was another

however, our men were billeted in French
villages and trained in British camps,

men, not merely as members of mighty
army, No nations can live for a year

Editor Times: There is one question
in connection with the local labor situa-
ton upon which considerable difference
of opinion exists. That is the probable
action of the G. c. |. A. here on April !.
Such of the workmen as have been inter
viewed claim they would live up to their
agreement on that date and that the
manufacturers have no cause to worry.
They claim they should be given an OPP
portunity to prove their assertion that
they had never yet broken an agreement
and would not do so in this case.
On the other hand, the manufacturers
understood the amendment to the G. G..
|. A. constitution must be lived up to,
for they have received no official notice
or statement to the contrary. They
claim the workmen would have taken a
vacation" on April J., as Quincy did on
Dec. and other places on other dates in
direct violation of their agreements. The
manufacturers further claim if they
cause a suspension March /, it would
simply bring it one month earlier than
the union would have done anyway.
But what has April !, 1919, got to do
with our local agreements anyway? That
date does not appear either in the orig
inal or the supplementary agreements.
To the outsider, there seems a fair and
proper solution of the whole question
and that would be for the G. C.. I. A. at
their meeting on Monday nigh to put
themselves squarely on record by voting
to fulfil their agreement to March /,
1920, no matter what happens outside of
the Barre district, Such a vote should
have considerable weight even yet; in
fact, upon it may hang the fate of the
granite industry for a long time to come.

VOTING BY PROXY FOR SOLDIERS,
ETC.

The election contest from the little
town of St George in Chittenden county
in which the right of Earl Aver to hold
a seat in the House of Representatives
was questioned may seem like a small
matter; and, indeed, it is a small mat
ter on the face of it, But there are some
interesting election points brought out
as the result of the investigation of the
baloting conducted in st. George. Per.
haps the most interesting point is the
attempt Of one citizen of that town to
