VERMONT GROWING POPULAR.

VERMONT GROWING POPULAR.
The urgent need of more hotels in
Vermont is revealed again by the an
nouncement that one small hotel in a
small village took care of 1900 guests
during the month of July, without
counting the regular patrons, and had
to turn away many applicants. To be
sure, this hotel in question has an en-
viable reputation for hospitality and is
situated at one of the gateways of the
state, so that il might be expected
to catch a good share of the tourist
traffic but that does not alter the con-
viction that the volume of travel is
increasing very rapidly and that Yer
mont will have to make a considerable
outlay in hotel construction if large
percentage of fine business is not to be
lost in the next few years. This be-
lief is heightened by the knowledge
that other hotels not so advantageous
ly situated as the one above referred
TO have been crowded to capacity dur
ing the greater part of the summer and
have been forced to turn away much
business to hotels in other towns some
what removed from the planned stop
ping places of tourists. The business
is waiting for the people who are will
ing to take advantage of it.

followed suit. 1t looked as though the
long -heralded recession in the cost of
foodstuffs were beginning to gain its
stride. But the hour of rejoicing over
these glad tidings from the wheat pit
was all too brief. With the recrude-
scence of alarm over the possibility of
new European war, up went prices
again and at last accounts they were
still on the skyward climb.
Fundamentally, the situation is sim
pie enough. An unusually good harvest
i in prospect throughout the United
States. Barring serious mishap, we
will have wheat in plenty for ourselves
and some for export. Under the cir
cumstances, a fall in wheat prices is
inevitable, unless some great stimua-
ton OF the foreign demand should
swing the pendulum the other way
This is what the critical situation in
Poland seemed for few days to in
dictate.
For the great staples, such as wheat,
corn, wool, cotton, steel and so forth,
the whole world has virtually become
a single market. A dislocation in any
part of the globe is felt in this coun-
try. Our price levels are extremely
sensitive to the International affairs of
Europe, as we have seen very clearly
during the last few days. There is
nothing that we ought to welcome
more heartily than an era of genuine
peace abroad, for nothing else can give

WoMAN'S SUFFRAGE REALIZED.

L
A dream of century comes true in
| the ratification of the 10th amendment
| Of the United States constitution, Civ
ing women the same privileges of vot-
| ing as are accorded men for, although
the organized work in behalf of the
equal suffrage causes dates back only
about three quarters of a century,
| women were considering the idea at
the beginning of the last century. 1t
was a dream which many thought
would never be realized. However, the
stout hearts prevailed and after many
vicissitudes the amendment appears
about to be written into the constitu.

becoming the thirty sixth state, may

ton of politics; but it is more than
probable that some other state will

ton amendment within the seven
years time allowed for action of Civ
en- amendment. For instance, Vermont
would be almost certain to ratify at
the first opportunity. Connecticut
would, most likely, do the same de-
spite the efforts of Gov. Holcomb. Pos
sibly one or more of the other three
states which have not acted and some
of the six states which defeated rati-
fication might change their attitude.
Therefore, woman suffrage is virtually
an accomplished fact no matter what
Tennessee in its faltering course may
do.
What effect the participation of
women in the elections of the country
may have is a matter open to varied
opinions. No marked outpouring to
the polls may be expected in the cleo
tions of this year (it being the general |

A View of Vermont.

The wife of a Maine farmer under
the pseudonym of Jean Longfellow,
writes the Boston Herald of trip she
and her husband took through Quebec,
Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine
in which she gives very pleasing pic
lures of the country. Here is what she
says OF Vermont:
Il have never seen a more beautiful
or picturesque country than Vermont
| in June Green and blue and clean
looking. Even its towns have retained
, virgin freshness. In the country, at
convenient intervals, were big barns
with silos towering above them and
nicely painted houses that looked like
home; well cared for cornfelds, prop
erly treated hayfelds, excellent gar
dens, with charming lake thrown in
for an added attraction and plenty of
shade trees and good roads. The farms
looked prosperous and the cattle
showed breeding and care. And, incl
dentally, know of Vermont farmer,
who was unable to get any help ex-
cept a man and wife, and as he did not
want more than one family under his
own roof, he was forced to buy small
Ter adjoining farm and buildings to
furnish home in order to keep the
couple to work for him. That does not
sound as if the wife is abused, does
il ?"
II does one good 20 read such de-
scription of their state in these days
of so much complaint about farm life
1t also shows the farmers they have
something Of reputation to maintain.
The big barns, well kept houses and
we'll cared for fields undoubtedly are
largely the work of present day farm
ers, but the attractive shade trees were
started by the earlier owners Of the
place, some one who had vision OF
the value of shade and decoration. These
early husbandmen were serving their /
successors to large degree. The pres.
ent day farmer owes something to his Z
successors and will be serving himself
and his children well If he can in I
crease the sttractiveness of his place
and give to his successors an apprecia-
ton of his calling. We hope Vermont.
ers will not only read the cheerful de-
scription of Vermont that Jean Long
fellow has given but improve their con-
ditions until they can describe a bet.
