VICTORY AT LAST

After working and waiting for hall
a century equal suffrage has come IN
the United States by the vote OF the
Tennessee Legislature on Wednesday
There never was valid reason why
this should not have happened be-
fore. and if the women who were OPP
posed to equal suffrage still cling 70
their views, they can do as too many
men have done in the past-stay
away from the polls.
We welcome the advent OF women
into public life and are confident that
the day of prejudice at their particl-,
patton in public affairs has passed
away. That these privileges should
have been denied them so long Is IN
dicative of the idea which some men
have had as to womans sphere
Neither sex is superior to the other
and each are entitled to equal PRIV
ileges. :.
If more legislation is needed IN
anv state to carry out the provisions
of the 10Th amendment here should
be no disposition to put any barriers
in the way of giving the women OF
the United States the same privileges
as men. The'majority Of the people
of the United States, irrespective OF
sex, wanted equal suffrage and the
majority have finally won.
That Vermont could not have the
honor of being the perfect Seth is the
only sad feature of a great victory
Our state constitution can soon be
amended, and it ought to be amended
so that one man, who happened to bt
governor, could never defeat the vii
of the people again.
Gov. Clement missed the opportu
nifty of life time to make histor!
and his refusal to call an extra SEES
sion was a deliberate attempt II
thwart the will of the people. Con
stitutionallv he was within his lega
rights, but his position todav is an un
enviabe one. The world war clearl,
demonstrated that one man power il
the world was never more to be toll
Grated and it will not be tolerated il
Vermont after the next election.

THE DEPRECATED DOLLAR

Twenty-four years ago the country
was stirred by campaign dealing
with the currency question. 1t was
claimed that free coinage of silver
would so depreciate the dollar stand
ard, that every dollar would be worth
so cents only. This, it was said
would be of the nature of repudia-
ton. Every man who had savings
bank deposit would find that his
dollars, for which he had worked SO
hard, were worth but half price.
Now precisely the same thing has
happened. The dollar has depreciat-
ed, but from other sources. Every
man who has manifested thrift and
laid away money in a bank, finds that
his savings are only worth half what
they were.
This has a most discouraging effect.
1t tends to deter peiple from thrift.
There are many people who would be
willing to go back to the half OF
their present wages that they former
ly earned, if the prices then prevail
ing could be restored, and their say
ings again recover their original
value. 1t would probably be for the
benefit of the country.
The change has been unevenly dis
trbuted. Many people are getting
much more than double their former
pay, while many others are getting
much less than that. This creates
friction and class warfare.
Everyone is going to protest
against having his pay cut, at least
until the cost of living has gone down
a corresponding amount And it
can't come down while the wage
levels remain high.
Some one element has got to make
the move first to get prices back at
least part way toward normal. The
first element to yield should be the
people who are making liberal pro
fits. They could cut their prices
without suffering for it. They will
greatly promote the prosperity of the
country, and in the end their own, by
pricking their own particular bubble
