BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax: am 17H
years Of age. The man in the case
10 %. Now. I have known this young
man for about four years, but have
only been going with him for the
past four months. I really like him
and he knows it, and I guess he likes
me well enough. but here is where
the trouble lies: He thinks that I
absolutely should not go out with
any one else as long as I am going
with him. He wants me to be his
wife some day. but I positively can
not get married until am 81 at
least, and he knows It, This is his
point Of view, that as long as a per-
son Is going with a certain person,
90 with him and not with any one
else.
Whenever do go out with any
one else he has seven cat fits and
Is ready 10 knock the guilty party
cold, and just gets awfully angry. I
have told him time and time again
that I don't care IL he goes out with
any other girls tas long as they are
not married}, but he says that is
not the point-he does not want to
go with them and he does not see
why ! want to go with other boys.
Nov, we have agreed between each
other that we will take your advice
on trais subject. and have promised
hin that II you think I should not
so with any other boys I won't: but
fdo you really think I should give up
all my friends for the friendship Of
this one? l do love him, but, as be-
fore stated. cannot marry any one un-
til I am 81 at any rate, and l think
Sc T
never go with any one else, don't
you?
Thanking you in advance for the
promptest reply possible. remain.
DYNAMITE"
P. S.-We are not engaged or any
thing like that D.
You say you are not engaged, but
the young man has asked you to be
his wife. Three and a half years is
quite a long time for an understand
ing of that sort to drag along, and
they are the very years when you
would naturally crave, and ought to
have, a good time with plenty of
young people your own age. You
are right to wait till you are 81 to
marry. No one can tell at II whom
they want as a life partner, because
ones character and tastes are devel-
oping all the time. and at 81 you
might have very different ideas.
Since there is no definite engagement
between you, the man has not the
right to assume such a proprietary
attitude. 1t would be better for both
of you to see something Of other girls
and other men, and then, If you still
continue to care for each other in
two or three years. there is plenty
Of time to settle down to definite
"twosing." The man is older than
you and he ought t, realize that you
are entitled to few years. of whole
some good times before you make up
your mind. It seems to me that he
is unreaso1t bible to be angry.

INDEPENDENT CITIZENSHIP
GIVEN WOMEN BY REPUB-
LICAN PARTY.

Hereafter the women of America
will not be dependent upon their hus-
bands for their citizenship. Presi-
dent Harding signed the law to that
effect September 21st.
Until that time, if an American
woman married an alien, she forfeit
ed her citizen, while if an alien
woman married an American citizen,
she became an American citizen by
virtue of that act. In either case the
wishes of the woman were not con-
sidered
Women have long felt the injustice
of this, and several women's organic
ations have united in an effort to ac-
quire independent citizenship for
women. According to the new law,
if an American woman formally re-
nounces her citizenship, or if she
marries an alien ineligible to citizen
ship, she becomes an alien; but
otherwise her citizenship is on a
status equal to male citizenship and
depends entirely upon herself.
This Notwithstanding justice
to women-is another of the long list
of women-interest measures which
have been initiated by the Republi-
can party. 1t was introduced in the
House and Senate by Representative
Cable and Senator Colt, both Republi-
cans, was passed by large Republi-
can majority and promptly signed by
a Republican President.
There are almost no woman welfare
measures, either in the states or in
the nation, which have had Demo
cratic origin, or been enacted by
Democratic authority.

TO THE WOMEN OF VERMONT.

AS good citizens, you wish to regis
ter your political preferences at the
general election, Tuesday, November
7th.
In order to do this you must take
the Freemans oath, which can be adj
ministered by the county clerk, the
town clerk, or any justice of the
peace.
When this has been done, the next
step is to get your names on the check
list of your own town. The lists are
already posted for the general cleo
ton. They are subject to two re-
visions before the date of election.
The date of the last revision is Sat-
urday, Nov. 4th.
The responsibility of getting your
name on the check list belongs to
you-not to any official.
The town clerk or any member of
the Board of Civil Authority can see
that your names are on the check
list.
When the lists are posted always
look and see if your name is on.
Laws in regard to elections are de-
finite and specific, and you cannot
vote unless you fulfill the require
ments.
The State and its interests are in
the hands of the women as we'll as
the men. Let us as good Vermonters
do our duty and vote.

Mr. William H jeffrey. Secretary OF
the Board of Charities and Probations.
has responded nobly to the demand OF
the citizens of Vermont that the de-
partments in Montpelier be reorganized
so as to reduce overhead expenses. We
pointed out in an earlier editorial the
duty of all state officials to look into
the matter of their department eN-
penses with a view to decreasing ex-
penses and increasing efficiency. We
feel that Mr. Jeffrey is to be congratu-
lated in this matter. In cutting down
the expenses of his department before
the Legislature meets he is performing
a valuable public service.

STRIKE CONDITIONS
ON WESTERN LINES
REPORTED IMPROVED

San Francisco, Calf, Aug. H.
The far western rail strike situa-
ton continued to improve today
Virtually normal train movements
were reported from the Union Pa
cities Salt Lake City-Los Angeles
line; the Western Pacific again
was moving passenger trains, and
expected to move freight trains by
midnight on it's lines from San
Francisco to Salt Lake, and the
Santa Fe lines were clearing up
rapidly the congestion of pas
senger trains which has grown up
at Albuquerque. n. M.
The Santa Fe also moved east
today from Bakersfield, California,
the first train in seven days. Ne
gotiations between railway officials
and leaders of the transportation
brotherhoods continue.
From Washington state came re-
ports that eastern buyers were
showing reluctance to contract for
peaches, pears and prunes because
of uncertainty as to their moving
east in time to meet the market.
