Speaks to Women Voters
Former St. Johnsbury Man Gives
Address at Durham, N. H.
Speaks Scathingly of Congress

Prof. James P. Richardson, a
former resident of st. Johnsbury, and
son of Mrs. Ella Richardson of New
tonville, Mass, was one of the speak
ers at Durham, N. H., last week,
where over 200 New Hampshire wom-
en- prepared to exercise the ballot
which they expect is sure to be grant
ed them soon by the adoption of the
10Th amendment to the Constitution.
His photograph appeared in the Bos-
ton Sunday Globe among those of
other speakers. The Globe had
to say of Prof. Richardson's part in
the program:
Prof. Richardson of Dartmouth,
who teaches political economy, was
the chief speaker the last day. He
declared for the League of Nations
and warned against the obliteration
of State rights, which had been al
most wiped out under Wilson, as
compared with the days of Thomas
Jefferson.
Prof. Richardson asserted that the
two things Congress was lavish of
was time and money, and he proceed
ed to read extracts from the Congress
sional Record to prove his statement
He favored an earlier session of Con-
gress after elections, saying that un-
less the President called them in ex-
ira session 13 months elapsed between
elections and the session for which
they were elected
He said that the short term is what
is known as the Don't give damn
session." because the Congressman
had either been reelected or were in
the "lame duck" class. In either case
they were not>responsive to popular
demands.

APPEALS TO NEWS
PAPERS FOR HELP
ON LONELY FARM
Westminster Wife Deserted
by Husband-Wants Aid
for Farm Animals

Alone on an isolated farm, six
miles from the town of Westminster,
VT, woman--ill, and left alone with
livestock that suffer for food-yester-
day sought aid in locating her hus-
band. Pathetic, almost tragic, is her
appeal, written to the NEWSPAPERS in
an effort to locate the man who, she
writes, she last saw on Sunday when
he took half of the last SIS that they
had in the house and started for
Westminster to get flour for bread.
Mrs. E. o. Hunt is the woman and
she writes that she is alone, physi-
cally unable to feed the livestock,
without food for her poultry and with
no neighbors near and no telephone.
"The suffering livestock starve," she
writes, and ever since Sunday she
has waited for daddy" to return.
Bravely she is trying to keep the
stock alive until aid comes or the hus-
band returns. nj

They have secured pledges or paid
the entire 100000 cost of the church
in the three years. The old church
was burned in the spring of 1914 and
the loss was but slightly covered by
insurance.
At the time that the construction
of the new edifice was discussed,
there was some controversy as to
whether a wooden structure was pre-
ferable to the present beautiful stone
which was ultimately built at a de-
cided increase in cost over the eX-
pense of the wooden building.
Rev. Mr. Martin, by his splendid
executive ability and understanding
of the needs of the town, was able to
steer the proposition to its present
completeness and at all times main
tanned perfect union and cooperation
among all interested.
The new church was built in 1915
and is a credit to the foresight and
good taste of the building committee
which was composed of A. L. Bailey,
chairman; Rev. G A. Martin, David
Williams, (dcceased), E. N. Randall,
and Freeman Pierce. The exterior
and interior designing of the church
is impressive and beautiful.
The expense of building and equip
ping the church was between $95,000
and 100000, and it was felt by many
that this was a tremendous financial
load to be carried. At the time of
the dedication of the church, pledges
covering a period of three years were
made for a considerable part of
the money. These pledges expired in
April AC that time, April 1919,
new campaign was started to raise
the balance of the money, about $685.
900. A banquet was held in the
church vestry at which about rs men
were present and on which occasion
between $4,000 and $4,000 was
raised.
The original pledge cards which
were signed contained provision
that the pledge would not be binding
unless the entire amount of the
church's Indebtedness should be cov-
cred by these pledges Since the
campaign in April, the work of rails
ing money has been going on, and
on last Sunday Rev. Mr.. Martin made
the statement that the entire amount
of the church's indebtedness had been
covered by these pledges. The mon
ey has been pledged in amounts
from $1.00 up to $1,000. The pledges
consist of members of the church and
friends.
Thus, in a little over three years,
the Methodist church has been able
to raise an amount of approximately
100000 which is financial enter
prise seldom surpassed by any organ
ization.
Rev. Martin has had many calls to
other pastorates, but besides his love
for his local charge and the town of
st Johnsbury, he has felt it his duty
to remain by the work which he so
, ably engineered until its completion.

In five hours of debate the treaty
opponents charged in bitter terms
that the Toxic Government had
wheedled Shantung from China at
the peace table without the shadow
of a cause except the ambition of
conquest, and supporters of the
treaty defended the course of Pres
ident Wilson in the negotiations by
declaring the only alternative was
failure of the whole peace confer
ence.
Chairman Lodge of the foreign rel
ations committee declared Shantung
was a "peace price" for Japan's ac-
ceptance of the league of nations.
Senator Norris, republican, Nebras-
ka, charged that aJpan in 1917 secret
ly had inveigled the European allies
into a promise to support her Shan
tung claims.
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
asserted that if the United States
must either underwrite the Shantung
agreement or accept the challenge of
another power the country would
choose the latter course.
Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska,
p ranking democrat of the committee
replied that the German rights in
Shantung were obtained legally by
treaty in 1898 and were won fairly
from Germany by Japan long before
the United States entered the war.
Senator Williams, democrat, Mississ-
ippi said the President had to accept
the Shantung settlement or come
home without a general treaty of
peace and that Japan never would
give up the peninsula unless forced
to do SO by war.
In the end the Senate adopted with
out record vote a resolution by
Senator Lodge asking the President
for any available information about a
secret treaty alleged to have been ne
gotiated between Japan and Germany
in 1918 embodying a plan for Rus
sian rehabilitation and promising
Japan's indirect protection of Ger
man interests at the Versailles nego-
tiations.

To Bore For Oil At Havre de Grace.
The following oily story is from
the Baltimore American OF Wednes
day:
New York capitalists have bought
and leased large tracts of land near
Havre de Grace on which they will
bore for oil. They have been en-
couraged in this undertaking by
signs which indicate the presence of
the precious fluid at no great depth.
On the surface of the Susquehanna
River, on streams tributary to that
river on the Hartford county side, and
in water pumped from wells, crude
oil has been found. The promoters
of the enterprise are further en-
couraged by geological evidence that
the rocks which underlie Havre de
Grace and vicinity are extensions of
the strata in Lancaster county, Pa.
from which there has been a small
flow of oil. Operations are being
carried on to reach the large deposits
believed to exist under the surface. Z
