WOMEN VOTERS
Women Voters are Urged to Register
and Be Prepared to Vote on the
License Question
To the Editor:

To the Editor
1t is most gratifying to know that
the Bishop has requested the Catholic
women to vote, and they are working
in concerted effort to register. No
less should every woman in town take
advantage of the suffrage that has
been granted them by the state laws,
even if they do feel the tax rate un-
fair and unjust and our voting power
limited.
The women must fill out the appli-
cation blanks and register at the town
clerks 0Aice, or may hand same to the
listers, Alvin Flint, c. H. Brown, B.
X. Graves, or send listers a written
notice that they wish to vote in 1920.
The total tax rate in St. Johnsbury
village is $500, in the town $40.
This is in addition to the property
tax. Women Of 70 years can vote
without paying tax, but must regis
ter before April goth. The women
living outside the village do not have
to pay the village tax. These women
may procure blanks from the listers
while they are making their rounds
outside the villgae. The time for reg
istration expires Saturday. Let
there be no slackers, of next year we
may be sorry when the license ques-
ton comes up and we have no voice
in the matter if the Sheppard amend
ment is for any reason set aside.
Moreover, if the women of Vermont
do not register it will be said of us
that we do not want to vote, and an
issue will most certainly be made of
that when the Anthony amendment
comes up in Congress. Let us all
vote and in two years our taxation
may possibly not be so large.

LUCKY FISHERMAN
A St. Johnsbury Devotee to the Rod
and Line Captures Two Trout
Weighing Five Pounds

The long-looked for day that the
followers of Isaac Walton had so re-
ligiously written in their memoranda
of coming events, dawned Friday
morning. Sportsmen were out bright
and early and hied themselves away
to the bubbling brooks to try their
luck in capturing the "speckled beau
ties"
OF all the "early birds" none got
the start of Allie Porter, clerk in the
postoffice, for when cold soW cast its
first rays DER the hills it found this
sportsman calmly sitting on a rock
near the Fish Hatchery Falls with
rod and line ready for the minute
to arrive when he could try his luck
in the whirling pool. "Luck" always
more or less tickle jade was with
Mr.. Porter this time for he soon
landed two beauties, one weighing
8 3-4 pounds and the other / IA
pound.
1t was with sad heart he reeled
in his line and started home, for an
other catch would have exceeded the
lawful limit, and discretion is surely
needed at these times unless one
wants to see how quickly the game
warden can spill the basket
These speckled beauties were pho
tographed by Randall & Whitcomb
and were prize winners. Mr.. Porter
is both envied and congratulated on
his successful catch.

Worlds Debt to the East.

Civilization was born in the East
For ages letters, art, religion flowed
westward frCm Asia. When Europe
was a wilderness, peopled only with
savage, wandering tribes, learning and
government fiourishcd beyond the Oar
danelles. From Armenia, Syria and
Persia came both the Jewish and the
Christian religions, the alphabet and
much of science. Long since the tide
turned. Civilization among these east
ern peoples began to ebb, and they
have slipped far back toward their
pastoral days.

Ammunition Train

Colonel William J. Kelville of Bos-
ton, who is in command of the 101st
Ammunition Train now on its way
home, which did such splendid service
with the 26th Division of Yankees at
Verdun, ST. Mihiel and Chateau Thi-

while the train lost but II men by
death during the period from August
27, 1917, to December 3, 1918, which
included nine months of active service

$427, 1897. When Mr.. G. A. Carver, the manager,
invited to Cleveland by the Ad club to tell
how he did it, he went. And he told. His story may
all be summed up in one statement:
"Last year we spent SIS, ,36O47 or 3 l-2 per cent

last night indicated that the treaty
with Germany would be completed

LONDON, April 16-The sum-
mary of the amended covenant Of the
league of nations evokes no enthusi-
asm in the London morning news
papers, and it is declared by some
commentators to be less satisfactory
than the first draft.
The Post, which is an opponent of
the league and a severe critic of
President Wilson, refers to the "new
Garden of Eden" in which "the
Monroe doctrine will take the place
of the tree Of knowledge of good and
evil. The fruits of the West
ern hemisphere being forever for
hidden to signatories of the league. -
Attributing to President Wilson
personally the features of the draft
to which it most objects, the Post
says that "posterity will place him
with Metternich and Castlereagh as
one who worked for the confusion OF
other nations and the greatness of
his own" 1t concludes by declaring
it monstrous that such a covenant
should be signed without being first
fairly considered by the public and
Parliament.
The Chronicle, for instance, fixes
certain points which it thinks makes
the new draft distinctly, and perhaps
decisively, inferior to the old 1t
condemns the policy of requiring un-
animity for the decisions of both the
council and assembly, and also con-
dcmns the terms upon which the COW
enant may be amended and permis-
sion given any nation to withdraw on
two years. notice. 1t regards the
covenant as unharmed by the Monroe
doctrine amendment, which it believ-
es should facilitate the adhesion of
the United States to the covenant.
The Daily News, which is a warm
champion of the principle of the
league, sees danger in some of it's
provisions. 1t objects to the con-
stitution of the new council which,
it says, twill manifestly be controll-
ed by prominent representatives of
the five great powers when they are
in agreement" And it fails to see
how the four representatives of other
powers chosen for the assembly can
have much independence. The paper
does not express any great confidence
in the efficacy of the league in any
case.

POST WANTS HARDING
AT COMING CONFERENCE

Washington, September 16.-(SpeclaD
The Washington Post, enamoured of
the grasp of economic conditions dis
played by w. P. G. Harding, governor
of the federal reserve board, has called,
editorially, on the President to INSIST
that the former resident of Birmingham
participate in the conference next
month to be held in Washington be-
tween capital and labor.
Governor Harding has shown grasp
of the economic situation in this coun-
try" says the Post, which entities his
views to the higest respect. By all
means he should participate in the con-
ference called by the President to con-
slider labor conditions. The meeting
should have the benefit of the sound
logic and moderate. sensible views of
the governor of the federal reserve
board"
The Post was especially captivated
with the recent address by Governor
Harding before the West Virginia
Bankers Association. In that address,
Governor Harding took the position
that it was not practicable for the
United States to continue to ship Am
erican goods to Europe in volume as
large as customary. He pointed out,
in the first place, that Europe cannot
pay and in the second place, that such
shipments would in the long run re-
suit in shortage with attendant high
er prices in the United States.
Governor Harding stated that the
credit limitation of 100000,
which this country may legally ex-
tend to Europe had about been ex-
hausted. and he expressed the view that
Congress would not authorize an In
| crease of the amount. He added MS
| opinion that is was not advisable tina :
Congress should take such step.

DENT TURNS TABLES
Upon REPUBLICANS

Washington, September 16.-(SpeciaD
Representative Dent of Alabama, at a
recent dinner served by republican
leaders to the commissioners of Porto
Rica made very clever speech In
which he turned the darts of the re-
publican postmaster against himself
and his party.
There was a dearth of democratic
leaders, Champ Clark and Claude
Kitchin had "ducked." So Mr.. Dent
sat almost alone as far as political col
leagues were concerned.
The republican spokesman, Repre-
sentative Towner, of Iowa, Uncle
Joe Cannon, Leader Mondell and others,
consumed the greater portion OF the
evening in felicitating Porto Rlca on
the prospect of local self-government
which prospect they held out to the Por-
to Ricans present. And then Mr..
Towner, introduced Mr.. Dent, as an eX-
cellent gentleman representative of the
democratic party which is fast passing
from the face of the earth.
Mr.. Dent first felicitated the guests
of honor and secondly, expressed his
satisfaction in having been permitted
to participate in the pleasure of the
evening.
And" said he. IT felt throughout the
hours the republicans beguiled US with
pleasing speech, that I was in attend
ance on a good, old fashion democratic
convention. AS you. one after tna
other. spoke in rapture of local self
government, the shade of Thomas JET
ferson passed before me, and con-
cluded that despite the disquletlns
facts of history, there was after all
scintilla of hope for the republican
party" ~,
| "Uncle" Joe Cannon, perhaps the
| best sport in Congress, significantly
patted Mr.. Dent on the shoulder.

Washington. September 16.-(SpeciaD
The advocates of the various bills

cation of the army on a peace basis
have already reached the fighting
point
Senator Chamberlain, who has pet
measure of his own, is severe in criti e
cism of the bill prepared and intro

the charge that the general staff pre-
pared the bill in order to make OF
itself a power absolute, military
power more dictatorial than that under
which German kulture was fostered.
There are a great many members of
Congress who agree with Senator
Chamberlain. Nevertheless. his attl-
tude is that of the pot which called

bill, in certain respects. is more excess

Under the Chamberlain bill, it is pro-

Wayne B. Wheeler. general counsel for
the Anti-Saloon League of America, is
sues the threat that unless druggists
reform themselves, he will reform them.
He declares that unless the druggists
take advantage of national prohibition
to clean their skirts of patent medi-
cines, new legislation will drive patent
medicines from the market.
His statement to the press, follows
in part:
National prohibition will give tho
drug trade a chance to eliminate the
most undesirable part of it. If the
trade fails to respond to this oppor-
tunity, it will result in additional leg
islation, which will be necessarily
burdensome and embarrassing to the
trade. The drug trade suffers greatly
because of that part which abuses its
privileges by the sale of alcoholic patent
medicines and preparations for bever-
age purposes. There are many legi-
innate alcoholic preparations used for
toilet, medicinal and other legitimate
purposes, but the temptation is to sell
them as substitutes for beverage liquor.
These preparations which are not fit
for use as intoxicants, and are not
sold for beverage purposes, viii not be
interferred with by national prohibit
ton. Those that are in the doubtful
CLASS VIII be watched and the manu-
facturersN and retail dealers who dis
tribute them illegally will be called 70
strict account. The old fake patent
medicines used as a substitute for
booze will have to go. The legitimate
druggists and pharmacists have
stronger motive than anyone else to
eliminate them. If they continue, or II
loop or jokers are left in the
law, it will only be shore time until
all of these alcoholic preparations and
patent medicines which are not intend
ed for but are nevertheless used as in
toxicating beverages will be prohibited
