People and Theories.
(Bennington Banner.l

The commission to suggest any need
ed changes in the Vermont constitution
is getting the worth of its money-and
not much money. The world is full of
people who have theory that by
changing the laws and the constitution
they can make the world over and cure
all the mean tricks of the grown-up
children who populate the earth. Per
haps the limit of absurdity urged at
the meeting of the commission q few
days ago is that the constitution of
Vermont shall make rule as to how it
will proceed to act on proposed
amendment to the constitution of the
United States. Back in 1871 Vermont
surrendered to the United States of
America and ceased to be an independ-
ent republic. Probably Old Tom Chit
tenden, Nose Robinson, Ira Allen and
the rest of the gang that turned the
trick never would have done such a
thing had they realized how badly Gov
ernor Clement, his boy Agan, and the
anti-suffragists were going to feel
about it.

Offers Little Glory.
(Rellows Falls Times.

When only one Republican desires to
be lieutenant governor of Vermont that
office must not possess many charms
for the ambitious. Abram W Foote of
Cornwall is fortunate in having a clear
field for that honor and we cannot
foresee any trouble for him on primary
and election days Mason s. Stone has
found the Office to be endowed with no
little limelight in this suffrage year.
Perhaps he could assure Mr.. Foote that
he may not find himself in outer dark
ness when he shall secure his election.

men out of a position with no one in
sight to take their places.

Senotor Moses of New Hampshire,
who voted in the United States SEN
ate against submitting the suffrage
amendment to the states, says he has
perfect faith in the women of his
state and that it is the duty of every
woman to make use of the new priv
ilege which is now hers. The amount
of faith the New Hampshire women
have in Senator Moses may make some
difference with his political future as
he doubtless sees.

Congressman Porter Dale, one of the
drafters of the retirement and pension
bill for postal employees, says it was
not its intent to retire a man if he
was well able and inclined to keep

such employees should have some OPP
ton in the matter although up to date
SO far as known none has been granted

SATURDAY, AUGUST %, 1920.
WOMEN SHOULD REGISTER.

Although no state official has made
an announcement regarding the right
of women to vote in the primary on
Tuesday, September Il, it appears that
Vermont women have such a right
Former President Taft says:
The amendment is self-executing
It by its own force amends every elee-
ton law of every state so as to include
in the state electorate women as well
as men, where only men were given
the right to vote before. Of course, a
woman cannot vote who if she had been
man could not have voted under the
laws of the state where she lives. She
must in all respects have the qualif-
cations which men voters must have
under the election laws, but if she
fulfils these requirements she can vote
and the state cannot prevent her so
doing, and no delay of the state in
recognizing or acting on the new
amendment can prejudice her right to
vote.
Senator George H. Moses of New
Hampshire, who opposed the amend
ment at every stage, has issued pub
lie statement in which he says:
The proclamation of the nineteenth
amendment by the secretary of state
makes woman suffrage a part of the
fundamental law of the land and it is
the duty of every citizen to accept it
Loyalty, no matter what his previous
opinion and action may have been.
Equally it is the duty of every wo-
man to make use of the new privilege
which is now hers. She should register.
wherever the law will permit, and vote,
both in the primary and in the election
These statements seem satisfactorily
clear and are more convincing than the
remarks of the governor of Vermont
that he has not as yet informed him
self
With the right to vote in the Yer
mont primaries, the place where the
real political contest in this state lies,
all women should go before the town
authorities and see that their names are
placed ON the check list Antisuffra-
gists as well as suffragists should do
this because serious civic response
bility has been placed upon all women.
Women should qualify and vote in
the primary because one of the Re-
publican candidates for governor de-
clares himself opposed to prohibition
and openly advocates unrestricted use
and sale of Intoxicating liquors in de-
fiance of the constitution of the coun-
try. His nomination and election would
mean another two years of the Clement
administration in Vermont with its OPP
en- opposition to prohibition and OBJ
stinate refusal to perform any public
duty that is distastefuI to him. The
women can prevent such catastrophe
in this state and we believe they will.
Women make your power with the bal
lot felt at the primaries in September.
