THE WOMAN SUFFRAGE VICTORY

The cause of woman suffrage won a
great victory on Wednesday when the
senate by vote of Sc to 90 adopted the
Susan B. Anthony amendment to the
United States constitution, the amend
ment having previously been adopted in
the house by vote of 304 to 80. Con-
grsss having proposed the amendment
1t will now be submitted to the state
Legislatures and if three fourths of them
ratlfy 1t, 1t becomes part of the basic
law of the land. The amendment reads:
Article section THE right of citi-
zens Of the United States to vote shall
not be denied or abridged bv the United
states or by any state on account of
sex.
Section 2-Congress shall have power.
by appropriate legislation to enforce the
provisions of This article.
This proposal of amendment has won
through the persistency of the woman
sutiragists, they having received in the
past such discouraging rebuffs that
many people would have lost heart and
given up the fight 1t first came before
the senate in 1887 when it was given
only fourteen Affirmative votes. In 1914
the senate again rejected it by eleven
votes, in 1918 by two votes and in Feb
ruary of this year by one vote. So the
vote of Wednesday was the fifth trial
before the senate.
There is some question whether enough
states will ratify the amendment in
time for the women to vote in the next
presidential election. They certainly
cannot unless the legislatures of some
states are called in special session to
act upon it. Vermont is not likely to
have a deciding vote ON this question
because the Legislature will not meet
again until January 1921 and there will
undoubtedly be the necessary number
of Publications before that time
The really doubtful states are in the
South where the white voters object to
giving negro women the right to vote.
In none of the southern states has wom-
an been granted full suffrage, but in
Texas and Arkansas they have been
given primary suffrage considered prac-
tically equal to full suffrage) and in.
Mississippi they have been given school
or tax suffrage, practically the same de-
gree of suffrage Vermont women now
enjoy.
Women have been granted full suf-
frage in sixteen states, presidential suf-
frage in eleven more, primary suffrage
in two more and school or tax suffrage
IN thirteen more. So they enjoy some
degree of suffrage in forty-two of the
forty eight states and it is only ques-
ton of time when they will be given
full suffrage in all the states, vic
tory won by long and intelligent con
test

Gently recommended an increase of $l.63
week in the wages of farm laborers,
the present minimum wages ranging
from $50 to 1915 per week The Ma
tIonal Farmers union wants the mini
mum wages made $3.50 for week of
"A hours, with rate and a half for over
time week days and double rates for
labor on Sundays. A week of so hours
IN summer and As hours in winter is
predicted by labor leaders.
1t will be seen by these figures that
the English farm laborer is working for
less wages than the American farm
hand. The call for better housing con-
ditions in England emphasizes the ad-
voeacy of The Reformer of better farm
homes in Vermont. Good farms can af
ford good homes for all who have TO
labor upon them and they will come at
some future date. The Vermont farm
er who realizes this and acts in advance
of the compulsory demand will be in
position to reap the most advantage
from this Improvement of farm eondi-
tions.

to be of considerable influence in the

men say it was the wretched position
of agricultural workers before the war
that made such a large organization
possible. Low wages and wretched
housing conditions were the complaint
of the workers.

A Poor Policy.

The poorest policy in the world for
Vermont hotel or boarding house keep
ers or business men generally to pur-
sue IS profiteering at the expense of
transient visitors or automobile tour
lists. There is very little of this in
dulged in, for Vcrmonters are naturally
honest and believe in equal treatment
However, in some sections of the state
rather well defined reports issue of over
charges made TO visitors. Public SEN
timent, to say nothing of a spirit of
common honesty, should make prompt
protest against any such form of injus-
tice. Vermont wants all the summer
guests it can secure and in order to
get them it must be well established
that all visitors will be treated in a
spirit of fairness and hospitality.

isn't it fine name?" said Mrs.
Fox Sparrow. ls
And yet we aren't wild in the least;
that is. were not wild like foxes are"
said Mr. Fox Sparrow.
we have all the pleasure of a wild
name without .being Wild" said Mrs.
FOX Sparrow. And, too. it makes our
name little bit more unusual and
little finer than just having it plain
sparrow. It's more stylish to have a
hame like Mrs. Fox Sparrow.
People always have two names at
least, l believe. SO we should, too.
eh?"
"We should" agreed Mr.. Fox Spar
row.
i do love your reddish brown coat"
said Mrs. Fox Sparrow, land your
spotted waistcoat. 1t is very stylish,
1 think"
you have a dress to match it."
said Mr.. Fox Sparrow.
"Ah, yes; am so much pleased with
my own dress. l like to moult and i'm
prove my feathers, but / like to have
them come back the same way as they
were. that is the same color and of the
same kind"
Perhaps it is because of our red
dish brown feathers that we, are called
fox sparrows," said Mr.. Fox Spar
row.
Are foxes reddish brown, and have
they feathers?' asked Mrs. Fox Spar
row.
"Oh. no, my love-" said Mr.. Fox
Sparrow, trying not to smile at her,
Tor that might have hurt her feelings,
foxes haven't feathers. They have
fur. And their fur, l believe, is of
different colors.
sometimes it is gray and some
times, it is true, it is red. So, perhaps.
you see, because there is red in our
feathers, the same reddish shade
which foxes have in their fur, that we
are called the fox sparrows."
well, we're settled for the sum
mer," said Mrs. Fox Sparrow. at is
nice and cool here, and In the winter
we were south where it was nice and
warm.

what nice old leaves we used to dig

up so as to find out what was under
meath. We were like people who used
TO dig for hidden treasures"
Yes" said Mr.. Fox Sparrow, "and
we were like chickens, hens and roost-
ers, for they dig and scratch the earth
to see what they can find.
1T was such fun TO look under the
leaves and to stop to talk over what
we had found. We did have a fine
winter.
We'll, what are your plans now?"
I'm going to build nest" said
Mrs. Fox Sparrow, "of moss and soft
grass for lining, and l shall put in
some nice feathers, too, so it will be
comfy when the five little greenish-
blue eggs which l shall lay soon turn
into birdlings.
THE eggs will have nice little red
dish brown spots on them, which
shows that they are to have reddish,
brown feathers later on. OF course
that DOESN'T follow with most birds.
but like to think of the dear little
reddislfbrown birds there will be Wien
the reddish-brown SPOTS and the green
ish-blue eggs turn into precious little
babies"
"Ah," said Mr.. Fox Sparrow. "let's
get together some of our friends and
tell them about our little birdllngs
which will come as soon as you lay the
eggs and then hatch them out"
And the other Mrs. Fox Sparrows
VIII be doing the same. Spring is a
busy time of the year, you know"
said Mrs. Fox Sparrow.
Yes, they probably viii be doing
the same" said Mr.. Fox Sparrow.
Lets call them ALL" said Mrs. Fox
Sparrow.
So Mr.. aDd Mrs. Fox Sparrow
ehirped and they called and soon their
friends same flying over.
Mrs. Fox Sparrow is thinking
about the eggs said Mr.. Fox Sparrow,
land talking of what wonderful little
birdlings we will soon have"
And every Mr.. Fox Sparrow said
that all the Mrs. Fox Sparrows were
talking In the same way.
So they all sang the most glorious
song. for the fox sparrows have beau
tiful, clear and musical voices.
They sang q song about little bird
lings who would come to the nests
and of how they would teach them to
fly and eat worms. And they sang SO
beautifully, for they all loved this
springtime song better than any other
song in birdland.
