WOMEN MAY oVERREACH.

The announcement from Washington
that the National League of Women
voters are to ask President Wilson, as
the head of the national government,
to call the legislature of Vermont in
special session to "perform federal
function" causes much surprise. There
is danger it may hurt the cause of wo-
man suffrage they so zealously advocate
because such action would encroach up
on state rights.
These zealots argue that the supreme.
court having declared that action
of state legislatures on proposed amend
ments TO the federal constitution is
federal function, the President should
step into the breach and force those
states which have not acted upon this
question to act Apparently they over
look the method of changing the fed
eral constitution laid down in that doc
ument. The federal constitution does
not empower the federal government
alone to make such changes. 1t provides
that congress by a two-thirds vote
shall propose amendments and the
power of the federal government stops
there. After that, three-fourths, Of
the states must ratify the proposed
changes before the amendments are
complete 1t is perfectly clear that the
constitution restricts the federal gov
eminent from complete action and
gives the states equal voice in amend
ing it.
President Wilson has responded to
every request thus far made by the
suffragists but he cannot by any stretch
of imagination grant such a request as
the National League of Women voters
now proposes. Neither can Senator
Harding as the Republican candidate
overule the state authorities in such
matter. If these women persist in
making such request they invite re
fusal from their friends that may place
them in an unfavorable light. While
there is an apparent majority of the
people ready to do justice to the wo-
men of the country they are not will
ing to resort to Illegal means to give
them the ballot.

Vermont-Summer Resort.
Barre Times. J

The Burlington Free Press sees hope of
. chain of summer hotels in Vermont as
the result of the expected developments
In the Mount Mansfield region just as
soon as one person or corporation has
the courage to start the construction OF
a summer hotel in the mountains of Yer
mont viii come the beginning of the real
summer hotel business in Vermont. Until
then the state will be getting merely the
fringe of the summer hotel business in our
all-the-year hotels. The natural location
for the heart of the summer hotel bust
ness win be in the region of Mount Mans
field and Smuggler's Notch, a section
where many beauties of nature are con-
centrated. A hotel built near the foot
Of Mount Mansfield would be calculated
to attract large number of people from
the cities; and if the summer hotels in
New Hampshire are paying ventures there
IS no reason why a few summer hotels in
Vermont should not be made to do the
same.

The tragic death of young man like

is on the value and Importance of life
insurance Every old man wishes he had
taken out more life insurance when. he
was young and could get it at a moderate
rate. Every young man. if he takes out
life insurance, has to be argued and
coaxed and driven to realize an oppor,
tunity that he ought to seize and hang
to as his best friend. Every young man
hates to have a life insurance agent cor

Educating the Women Voters.
(Salem News.

There is clearly big job of education
in political matters to be done on the as
that women will vote in all
states next fall A great many women
of the highest intellectual attainments
have never yet given much thought to
political questions.
1t takes background of information to
make a good judgment in political mat
tiers. An intelligent man has read politics
all his life. He can compare promises and
professions with results in actual exper-
fence.
Women will be equally and perhaps
more acute But it does take time and
study to grasp political situations. A
more widely organized effort should be
made in all states previously non-suffrage,
to acquaint women with the claims and
principles of each party.

the representative of the carriers, in
the effort to supply New England with
coal? He was a Vermont farmer boy

young man ought to take out life in
surance policy as soon as he becomes
self supporting and he should add to his
insurance as his income and responsible
ties increase. Life insurance is a much
more important adjunct of civilization
than the automobile or Sunday supple
ment. There is no other one thing that
will place and keep a man on the right
track so effectually as life insurance
policy. 1t ought to be one of the first
steps of a well-ordered life.
