Mrs. Annette 3. Paul. speaker for
the Anthony League, in the early
part OF her testimony had suggested
educational requirements as, qualifica-
tions for electorals If Congress grants
the vote to the people of the District.
Taking this view Congressman
Dyer inquired If she favored giving
the negro in Washington the same
voting privileges as the white people
"They have their legal rights un-
der the Constitution, the same as the
white men and women, and those
legal rights we are bound to respect,
said Mrs. Paul.
Conressman Dyer remarked that he
could see that the colored people OF
the District were not represented at
the hearing. He again questioned Mrs.
Paul as to whether they should be
allowed the same voting privileges as
white people in the event of local
self government.

THE VERMONT CONG'L
MISSIONARY SOCIETY
Elects New Treasurer and Adopt
Budget for Current Year for
$4,000 Fund

At recent meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Vermont Congre-
gational Conference and the Vermont
Domestic Missionary Society, Mr.
Charles II. Newell of the Citizens
Savings Bank & Trust Company of
st. Johnsbury was elected Treasurer
of the Society to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Mr.. John T.
Richie. A budget for the current
year was adopted calling for expen-
ditures of $4,000. This will take
care of missionary work in forty-nine
different fields, in eighty-two percent
of which the Congregational church
has practically the sole responsibility
for ministering to the Protestant peo-
pie. 1t makes possible as we'll adj
visory and supervisory relations with
one hundred and fifty and other salt
supporting churches thus rendering
service to practically two hundred
churches in the state. 1t also pro-
vides for the employment of two Pas
tors-atLarge in addition to the Secre-
tary who spends considerable por-
ton of his time in the field. On ac-
count of the small endowment of the
Society, yielding an income of less
than $4,000 year, $4,000 of this ex-
penditure must be secured in contribu-
tons from the churches. The date of
the financial canvass was fixed for
the week of April "a to May LIST when
the effort will be made to raise not
only the sum above mentioned for
work in Vermont, but a total of $780,
900, for Congregational missionary
work in the State, Nation and world
Secretary Charles c.. Merrill will have
charge of the campaign as last year.
The annual meeting of the State Con-
ference will be held this year at Yer
gennes, the date being May 1912.
The Annual Convocation of Ministers
will be held at Middlebury College

Churches as Community Organiza-
tiOnS.
(SWanton Courier)


It is significant of the deepest
feelings of humanity, that the first
organization formed in a pioneer
settlement is commonly either a
church or Sunday school.
The mining camp or the numbering
settlement has hardly got out of the
tent stage before some cheerful home
missionary turns up, and proceeds to
organize for worship and instruction.
they have probably seen somewhere
rom practical experience, the results
that follow from church and Sunday
;chool organization. They know that
where the churches go, life and prop
,rty are safer, there is less crime and
drunkenness, and education and
human welfare are improved.
When community reaches high
state of civilization like Swanton, the
angible benefits created by church
organizations are not so Immediately
apparent. But if you were to close
up every religious organization, it
would not take long to see the diff
ference. People would not care to
live in town that did not recognize
the deepest aspirations of man.
Where the churches are decadent,
a selfish spirit grows up in a COM
munity that restricts all development
There is no stronger reminder that
people should live for something be-
sides their own selfish interests.
Effective church work accomplishes
many results other than the spiritual
blessings it was primarily establish
ed to create. A gospel of generous
giving and helpfulness, makes people
more willing to take hold and work
for community causes. People who
have learned to give up time and
money to promote the generous aims
of their church. are also apt to have
public spirit, and to be willing to
work for the benefit of the commun-
ity in social, educational and civic
ways.

Sharing the Rod.
(St. Adams Messenger)


The Massachusetts, commissioners
of public safety is in favor of the
once-upon-a time woodshed treatment
of offending youngsters. Evidently
he believes that sparing the rod spoils
the child. This weeks papers have
told about youngsters trying to lynch
one of their companions and nearly
succeeding in the job. 1t is a safe
bet that these youthful devotees of
Judge Lynch never were introduced
to the woodshed method of correction.
They had no sense of responsibility {;
no appreciation of punishment:
Those who have taken the woodshed
course are not deficient on such
scores. But modern fathers and
mothers as a rule frown upon any
thing more than moral sua sion be-
cause it is unfair to the child. On
the other hand, it may be decidedly
unfair to let the child get the idea
that society will always be content
to deal with him by the moral suasion
route. Punishment is a factor in this
life, and, as we are told, in the life
hereafter. 1t is a good lesson to
teach in the home where sometimes
it may become necessary to give a
labratory demonstrate of just what
is meant by punishment. And the
woodshed, or other suitable substi-
tute, is the logical place for the hold
ing of such a clinic.

of money OR other valuable consider
alton and for the recreation or en-

sanctioned; but should the band be
paid for it's services or the public be
asked to pay for listening to the mu-
sic, then the matter becomes a thing
of commercialism. 1t would ALLOW

Judge Lands, supreme baseball ar
bitter, says the arm of the law ought
TO call to account everyone who bets
on games. He further says that Of
tense ought to be considered felony
and the penalty call for imprison-
ment of from two to five years. Judge
lands is a man recognized by all
basebal1dom as possessing a know
ledge of the game, its good and It's
bad features, unequalled by anyone
else in this nation. He is also known
as a Judge whose insight into funda-
mentals is extremely keen and his
statement that betting is one OF the
great evils of organized sports ought
to be taken with-more than a grain
of salt by red-blooded followers of
the game. 1t is a well known fact
that practically all the real trouble
over baseball that ever took place in
this vicinity was caused by betting.
If one can't enjoy good game of
baseball without "edging up by
placing some money on his team it
is time he be classed as a cheap sport
and let Judge Lands talk to him
straight from the shoulder. Let us
determine now that baseball in Or
leans county this season shall be
clean in this respect. A little will
power when the other fellow flashes
the money in your face will soon kill
this evil which keeps baseball from
its best self

The appointment of a woman depu-
tv sheriff in Orleans county and the
drawing of several women to serve as
jurors is causing much comment
Women having received full citizen
ship must also assume full response
bility. At first these new reponsl'
bilities seem strange and out OF place
but in a short time custom will make
these things uneventful and we shall
wonder that they ever caused unusual
comment. 1t is probable that women
serving on equal terms with men in
various capacities will bring about
better understanding on the part OF
women with reference to the PROB
lens which face the voter, and men,
an the other hand, may learn to have
more respect for a woman's judge

Restricting Language Study in Yer.
mont Schools.
(Rarre Times)

If House bill 243 is so framed as to
prevent the teaching of any other
language than English in the high
schools of Vermont it should, of
course, be rejected or radically
changed, for instruction in other for
sign languages is desirable, and, in
fact, essential, if students intend to
carry their training to higher insti-
tutions. If the introducer of the mea-
sure merely intended to make Eng
fish the major language study in the
public schools (the elementary and
grammar grades) there might be
perhaps a better way to go about 1t
than to exclude all languages except
English. We are not aware of any
public schools in Vermont in which
French, for instance, is made the
major language study and English is
relegated to a minor study; but if
there are instances there should be
efforts to get the substitution of
English as the major language study
but by other means than legislative
fat. The English language is the
agency for expressing Americanism
and it should, therefore, be the para
mount language study in the schools.
House bill 243, as we understand it.,
would prevent the study of Greek,
Latin, French, German, Spanish or
any other foreign language in the
schools of Vermont. That being the
ease, the bill ought not to pass.
