WAsHINGToN, Nov. 2o.-High Treasury
officials showed little enthusiasm to-
night over the program for anortizing
the interallied debts in sixty-six years
by the payment Of interest and a per-
centage OF the principal annually, as
submitted to the Southern Commercial
Congress in Chicago.
Regarding the allied debts il was said
Secretary Mellon felt the chief difficulty
in such n plan lay In the unlikelihood
of obtaining the consent of all the debtor
nations TO the same arrangements. The
Treasury holds that the war debts are
distinct and separate obligations without
connection with each other or with the
payment of German reparations

are busy explaining how it happened
One citizen in a letter to the Boston
Transcript presents some of the reasons
why many women failed to vote. They
vary from an anti-suffrage attitude,
which persists in spite of the suffrage
amendment, on through ignorance, in
and timidity, to the fact that
many women have no man on whose
opinion they could rely
Statistics have not been offered which
might show whether a greater proper
tion of women voters than men refuse
to exercise the suffrage. Indifference,
.carelessness. ignorance and prejudice
keep men, too, away from the polls year
after year.
The letter writer asked, Cannot our
public-Spirited citizens make greater ex-
ertions to increase the number of vot-
ers?"
Yes, they can. But until the non-vot-
ers, through a change, Of heart and mind,
become themselves public-spirited," the
.exertions won't accomplish much.

THE INIPOUNDED. AUTOMOBILE.

system of impounding the ears of
rafic law violators is meeting with sue
cess in some communities where other
efforts to check careless driving shave
failed.
There is no more reason why dog
running wild ON the public streets should
be put in the pound than why an auto
mobile should be for doing the same
thing. The dog. even if he is mad, has
no more power for harm.
The impounding of the car is not used
as an alternative to other punishment
such as imprisonment or a fine for its
driver. 1t is an additional measure The
term for which the car is held in official
custody depends upon the gravity of the
offense.
: This method has an advantage over
the system which revokes the drivers
license but leaves the car in his hands.
1t prevents absolutely his selling it,
renting it, using it fraudulently or in
any manner ameliorating his sentence.
In this and other ways the strong arm
of the law is beginning to make observ-
ance of traffic laws advisable from mo-
tives of self-interest if not for humani-
tartan reasons.

VOTERS AGE LAW.

\ bin has been introduced in the New
York legislature which would make it
unnecessary for any voter to tell his or
her exact age. The voter would be re-
CURED simply to state that the Dist
birthday had been passed. If New York
adopts the measure it viii not be veRy
long until there is similar legislation in
other states. This seems to be an ade-
quate way of disposing of a vexed
question. .s. '-f
The amusing part of it is that no
voter, male or female, will be any older
or any younger than his or her actual
age because it is not announced. Strang-
ers are not interested, and intimate
friends or neighbors know or can guess
with fair degree of accuracy. But as
long as fair percentage of citizens pre-
fer the more ambiguous method, why not
let them have their way? Aft ar all, the
laws are for the people.

Our Next Congressman.

The Rutland News wants the people
to begin to think about who will be the
next congressman from the first district,
the contemporary assuming that Con-
gresham Greene will be promoted to the

fee of Rutland. Frank w. Agan of Lud-
low, William r. Bush of Benson and
Levi X. Smith of Burlington, as poten-
itial congressman who ought to be
dragged from retirement" III order that
"the mediocrities" will not have an OPP
portunity to ''sneak in
The list of possibilities might be
heightened materially and no doubt will
be as time goes by. OF those mentioned
by the News, Newman X. Chaffee is the
best known through his quiet but con-
structive contribution to state activities.
Mr.. Agan was one of the defeated can
ddates running in the primaries against
Governor HartnesS, and Mr.. Bush is a
comparative newcomer on the state
stage He represented Benson in the
house of representatives last year, and
made a good record Mr.. Smith is the
son of c. p Smith of Burlington, the
youngest in the list, and despite his de-
feat by Mayor Jackson in the Burling-
ton representative contest, a man of
worth and ability with, the Messenger
assumes, a leaning toward public serv-
ice 1t is most probable that none OF
these men are at this time thinking very
seriously of making a contest for con-
gressional seat.

many years was stationed at points along
the northern border of India. He is the
author of a book describing 20 years of
his experience in the Himalayas IL his
younger days Gen. Bruce was known as
the strongest man in the Indian army, and
wonderful tales have been told by his
brother officers of his feats of strength
and endurance in mountainous India.
His passion has always been mountaineer-
ing and he has scaled some of the most
difficult peaks of the Swiss Alps as well
as of the Himalayas. Gen. Bruce saw
active service in the late war and was
seriously wounded in the fighting at the
Dardanelles.
