The Western Hemisphere.

Speculation about diplomatic ap-
pointments plays almost solely around
the European posts. They are, OF
course, very attractive billets. Life
In London, Paris. Rome. Madrid and
in other European capitals will be
very interesting to an observing Amer
lean official for some years to come.
He will find much there to Interpret
to his home government. His oppor'
tunities for service and enjoyment Will
be exceptional. He will be able to
earn both his salt and his salary.
But let US not forget the posts
in Central and South America. They
are highly important to US. A good
man should be sent to each one of
them. We should cultivate the ma
tions Of this hemisphere assiduously.
We need to know them better. and
have them know us better; and the
surest means of accomplishing this
result lie through our diplomatic
channels. The right sort Of diplomatic
and consular service in that quarter
Of the globe should yield us hand
somely in every way, politically and
commercially.
The Pacific ocean is described as
the coming ocean. II we take long
look ahead. does not the western hemi-
sphere loom as the coming hemisphere?
In natural resources it is rich be-
yond computation; and even in Amer
lea here the surface has been but
little more than scratched. 1t is
rapidly filing up with competent peo-
pie; and when they shake down they
will "go to it" thoroughly and
thrifty.
The United States is the leader in
this hemisphere, and good manage
ment will keep it in the lead, no mat
ter To what proportions and impor-
'rpce the hemisphere may attain.

The British and French Ministries.

Resignation of Andrew Bonar Law
from the British ministry is officially
attributed to i'll health, and judging
from Premier Lloyd Georges emotion
in announcing the fact to the COM
mons. this is the real cause OF his
retirement. No sign of friction be-
tween him and them other members Of
the ministry has appeared. He is a
strong man Of exceptional ability and
his departure from the cabinet Is q
heavy loss, from which. indeed, the
ministry may not recover. For he

This Years Campaign Feature.

The most interesting political fea-
ture Of the year will be the mayoralty
campaign in Greater New York. Elec-
tion day comes in November.
A short time ago democratic pros.
poets were poor. Not only had last
.November's result cast a shadow over
the party, but Mayor Hylan was un-
der heavy criticism. Everything
promised a union Of republicans and
independents, and victory at the polls.
Since then a change has come over
the face Of things. Gov. Miller's
course with regard to traction matters
has caused some complaint n repub-
lican circles in town, and as result
the democrats are growing a little
perky.
Still, 1.-THE old town amt what it
democratic. Tammany was boss, ex.
cept when at long intervals the people
turned and punished it for the shady
character Of it's bossism.
Nowadays it has to fight hard for
everything 1t gets. For the past eight
years the smile Of the national organ
izati0n has not rested upon it.
A victory for Tammany this year
would hearten the democracy in town
and state, and in some measure
throughout the country. The claim
would be made that it marked a turn
in the tide.
For this reason both parties may be
expected to work at top speed and
strength; and. strange as the fact may
seem, the republicans now have the
best Of the enrolment.

Bewildered by American Girls.

| That English feminist W. l.. George
who is much lauded as an authority
on women. took the precaution Of
tion Of his views on the daughters Of
America. Instead of confessing that
| Uncle Sans nieces refuse to be classi-
fed into any familiar category, the
novelist endeavors to generalize from
that the spirit Of American restless
ness is better exemplified in the girls
than In the men and women.
But he does not perceive that social
freedom gives an outlet to the high
spirits Of youth and that parents and
| elders have learned from experience
| that this social freedom of girls is far
from incompatible with their develop
ing the qualities of good wives and
motners. Mr.. George marvels at what
starvation" by which this restless girl
IS turned into "the modest and even
| resigned American wife," Surely that
| delightful phrase will be hailed win
United States.
! No doubt Mr.. George is bewilde cred
by the American girl and her evolu-
ton. He admits as much, but is not
philosopher enough to have discovered
the truth that what he has observed
means the vindication of the Ameri-
can system of comforting the greatest
permissible degree Of social freedom
on our modern daughters. Nor is he
| to be compltmented on his discovery
that husbands in this country "revere
women in general. but not in particu
lar" when the particular EXAMPLES
are their own wives. 1t is nonsense
to say that the American man "re-
spects his wife as he would respect an
expensive picture"
The truth is that in no other country
are wives to so great degree the
heIpmeets and partners Of their hus-
oands. and nowhere else do men so
systematically seek counsel of their
wives in their affairs. M. Georre's
futile attempt to explain the Anal.
can woman illustrates the periIs that

MIR. MILLS ADDRESSES
METHODIST MINISTER'S
Speaks on "The New conarsgat
lam" beore Southern Sub-dls-

The Rev. George s. Mills OF this
village gave an address before the
Methodist ministers OF the southern
sub-district OF the eastern district,
Troy conference at North Adams,
Monday morning The subdistrict
meet ngs are intended to consume the
greater part OF day. a morning ses'
sion devoted to some subject which
deals with underlying principles OF
religious and church life, while the
afternoon session Is given 10 consid'
GRAFTON of such immediate topics as
are at the moment foremost in the
church program Dinner was served
by the ladies' OF the North Adams
Methodist church. About twenty
five people were present.
Mr.. Mills took for his subject The
New Congregationalism He dealt
with the subject under several diyis.
ions, the first being the history Oh
ire modern movement in the Congre-
gational church dating from about
1893 in which the church took posi-
ton on church policy Which. is ap-
proved by the best sociological stud
euts. and on up-to.date scientific in
depreciation OF the Bible. This has
averted any split 81 the ranks OF that
t.lurch during these troublesome
times.
The speaker set forth the ideas
which constitute the genius OF his
denomination, namely the authority
Of the local church and the fellow
ship OF the churches. State and ma
tional councils are valuable and ex-
ercise much persuasion yet they are
in reality only advisory bodies.
A third subtopic which was lucidly
explained was the spirit OF the New
Congregationalismi Here the Con'
gregational church has given much IN
the way of initiative and intellectual
viewpoint to the other churches, anu
in turn has received much IRON
them For example it has borrowed
from the Protestant Episcopal
church some aspects Of dignity OF
worship and training Of the children;
from the Methodist Episcopal church
Il has seen the value of warmth, Ter
vor and the necessity Of aggressive
united effort. AS usual Mr.. Mills
was Gear in thought, and concise IN

hearers. Rev. Edgar Brown OIL

other bitter remarks, he was disap-

the idea of labor's great efforts to

labor's belief that any attempt to

ARRESTS FOR vIoLAToRs

The illegal use of motor trucks was
the subject of local conference Sat
urday afternoon. The meeting was
attended by George r. Mathers,
states attorney. J. o. Burt and r. e.
Healy representing the town of Ben
nington. Willard Lighthall and Ed.
ward {. Bennett representing the vi
llage of Bennington and Howard ii.
Shields representing the Village of
Old Bennington.
Because Of the money spent in high
way improvements by municipalities
represented and by the state, it was
the sense of tie meeting that Wig
orous effort should be made to pre-
vent the use of highways in the town
of Bennington and in the village
therein by trucks exceeding legal
weight. Arrangements were made to
provide a synopsis OF the truck law
to all members of the sheriffs de-
partments and Of the local police with
instructions to make arrests of the
drivers of trucks where there Is rea.
sonable ground for believing that
the trucks are overloaded. When this
synopsis is prepared it will be print
ed in the Banner. The law forbids
the use of motor trucks which with
their load exceed six and a quarter
tons in weight but the violations of
this law are believed to have been
frequent in the past. Last spring
serious damage was done to certain
Bennington highways by overloaded
trucks. II is planned to have a rect
dent on the Colgate road made
special constable.
No. long ago an overloaded truck
broke some culyerts in Woodford and
la civil suit was brought against the
driver of the truck for damages. He
was brought before H. B. Hutchins,
Justice Of the Peace and the case was
settled out Of court by the payment
OF damages and costs amounting ap-
proximately to $45.

$40 MEMBERSHIPS
IN BIC BUNCHEs
Remarkable Success by Canvas
sers on Opening Day
MEET WITH FEW REFUSALS
Eighty-one Secured in Benning-
ton and Territory Immedi-
ately Surrounding Town

The result of the first days can.
vass for Farm Bureau membership
surpassed all expectations. In the
township of Bennington alone, the
state solicitors secured 81 member
ships on the $40 family basis. There
were only 10 refusals received and
most of these were from men who
had practically retired from the busl
ness OF farming
Six solicitors left the Farm Bur
eau headquarters at 1880 a. m. with
local drivers. The last man returned
at $3.50 p. M. Casper Leach, a
weighty dairy farmer from Pawlet,
escorted by Fred Foster took the
Bushnell district and returned with
II signers. Robert Newcomb, a
fruit and dairy farmer from Brandon,
travelling with c. T. Brettell, super
intendent of Fillmore Farms. secured
II three year memberships on the
main road between here and Pownal
and in t.1e area Immediately sur
rounding Bennington. G. w. Small
ly- dairy farmer from Walpole, N.
H., took Harwood hill with Alex
Young and brought in Is. Don Cor
liss, secretary of the Franklin Coun-
ty Farm Bureau, secured IL more in
Pleasant Valley with the assistance
of S. j. Pratt. G. c. Smith OF Bethel,
with Everett Harwood Of the local
Farm Bureau secured on the back
road between here and North Ben
nington in territory where there Is
comparatively little farming. F. NJ.
Goss, a prominent Guernsey breeder
from Moretown, with Jesse Dunham,
covered North Bennington bringing
in 5 memberships. Two had already
been received by the local Farm Bur
eau Office.
Today, these solicitors are to COW
er the township of SALISBURY. Re-
gardless of the mail predicaments OF
the past from the public and other
organizations, the farmers are at last
realizing that il anyone is to protect
their industry it must be the farmers
themselves. They are coming to
realize that farm bureau problems do
not lie entirely within the county,
that for the development of agricul.
ture there must be a well rounded
program including the handling OF
State and National problems as well
as the increase OF production and
cooperation within the county.
Wednesday the team goes to Pow
nal and Thursday it covers Stamford
and Readsboro. 1t is the duty OF
every farmer to give these solicitors
their most respectful attention when
called upon, not only for the good
and prosperity OF the local farm bur
eau but for the business of agricul-
ture.
