SUFFRAGE AND TAXES.

New Hampshire has been hailed by
the woman suffragists as the friend of
woman because it has ratified the suf.
frage amendment to the national consti-
tuition. 1t was a pretty close fight. the
senate ratifying by margin of only
four votes and the house by a margin of
sixty-nine. Perhaps Representative
Clyde of Hudson represented a consid
cradle body of the women when he
told that before starting for the special
session he asked his wife for her views
on the suffrage question and she replied
she had none, but if he could buy her
some sugar while at the capital she
would appreciate it.
The special session did not grant New
Hampshire women the right to vote for
federal or state officers But it did as
sess a tax of So year on every woman
IN the state to help pay the bonus it
voted for the returning soldiers. They
figure that 100000 women will be SUBJ

FAIRY TALE "A

ut was In the summer time that the
fields were waving and chatting and
saying these things to each other. OF
course they were at their best and the
season had been just right for them.
There had been enough rain but
not too much. enough sunshine but
not too much. In fact, it had been
quite perfect season so far.
THE fields always spoke of things
having been nice so far for they never
knew what the weather was going TO
be any more than the farmers did, and
they heard the farmers talking In that
way to each other.

would be dry and without even any
showers for the rest of the season, or
whether 1t would rain every day and
hurt them.

THE GERMAN MENACE.

The American people are so much
absorbed in the police strike and the
ratification of the treaty of peace they
may not notice the German immigration
to Mexico and South America. A repre-
sentative of the German government is
making arrangements for the reception
of 10000 German immigrants at Mexi-
co city and ship load of German immi
grants have lately landed at Buenos
Aires for, settlement in the Argentine
republic.
1t is easy to understand why Ger
mans should want to escape the tax,
alton they would have to bear at home,
but one is puzzled to know why their
emigration from Germany at this time
IS encouraged 1t is supposed the
greatest need of Germany is man mower
to produce food and wealth at home
but the emigrants to Argentina evil
IDENTIFY were deceived at home to en-
courage them to go to this new country.
They complain that they were told land
would be provided for them and that
long time loans would be made to all
VINO wanted to take up agriculture
But they find none of these things when
they land in this strange country.
This deceit is pulling Germany can
hardly hope to create loyalty to the old
nome country by misleading its citizens
IN this manner, but it has got large
number of Germans into Argentina
who undoubtedly must stay there. They
Will of course establish a German coli

that may in time demand German in

1t is reported that the Germans en-.
'oute to Mexico will occupy some lands
very rich in natural resources. a verv
favorable condition for prosperous
German colony. The murder of few
derman citizens would also give excuse
'or German Intervention in Mexico.
The only plausible explanation of
his German immigration is a German
INVASION of these two countries. The
United States government should real

Manufacturers Busy.
{ BENIN gton BANNER \


While they have not made direct
statements TO that effect, it is probably
true that the chief concern of every
manufacturer in Bennington these DAYS
is the untitled orders on his books. Some
OF them have sold out their entire pos
sible production for months ahead and
nave refused to take tempting orders.
bennington probably is in no different
situation in this respect than other
manufacturing centers, big and small.
When one remembers the times when
the heads of industrial plants were
working every possible string to secure
business and were stretching their cred

uet IN storage against the time when
there might be market that would net

something wrong somewhere with the
general scheme of things. At time
when this country should be grabbing
INTO the markets of the world with both
hands our production is going backward
instead of forward because of strikes
and industrial unrest.

The people of Vermont have the

frequent statement that the neak of
high prices has been reached; but they
should remember that Moses once
reached peak where he had fine view

peaks are not always satisfactory as
