The total registration is over 300, and many more are yet comjng. St. Albans is to have a debate on the league of nations, staged in the city hall Saturday. Senator Martin Vilas, an active opponent of the league is to " uphold the negative, while Elmer Johnson of St. Albans, one of Vermont s leading advocates of the league, will speak for the af firmative. . - A 30-day truce has been declared between striking street-car men and the Burlington Traction Company, and the cars are again running. Dur ing the truce the question of wages and hours will be arbitrated. The truce is the result of the efforts of Mayor Jackson, who persuaded rep resentatives of the company and of the men to meet in his office. Burlington tried a new communi ty experiment Tuesday night in the form of a community boat ride on the lake in the Ticonderoga. More than 600 went and thoroughly enjoyed the evening of ride, songs and dancing under the auspices of the war camp community service. A strong search light was carried so that the shore all along the way was illuminated for those who would enjoy the scenery. - Registration for the fall term of the Johnson normal school will begin Tuesday, Sept. 23d. Classes will meet Wednesday. An erroneous re port that the school would not open this fall seems to have been widely circulated. This, is a misstatement of fact. The school will open, as stated above, with a strong faculty and a larger enrollment of students than last year. Whatever action may be taken regarding the normal schools of the state for the year 1920-21, the status of the schools for this year will not be affected. Thev will continue as in the past, and with the same support. Inspectors' under Commissioner of Agriculture E. S. Brigham have just completed the first field inspection of potatoes for which application was made for seed certification. The ' number, something . over 150 .fields, is much larger than that of any pre vious years since the project was started and manifests a large .devel opment of interest in the plan. That this interest is justified is shown by the number of growers from the state to look up a source for their great Long Island and New Jersey potato regions, - who come to this seed supply, a. situation resulting from the very high standing which Vermont seed potatoes have made both in. experimental plots and com mercial fields in those regions. The annual session of the Vermont Branch, American Federation of La bor, was held in Barre ; last . week. Fred W. Sutton of Barre was elected president; Alexander Ironside of Barre, secretary; N. A, Malmgren of Rutland, treasurer, and Frank. L. Bergeron . of Burlington, organizer. The following resolution was adopt ed: Kesolved, by the delegates of the 17th annual convention of . the Vermont state branch of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, that we re amrm our belief in.' the principles in the plan of the organized railway employes ior government ownership and democracy in the operation of railroads. We -pledge our support of tne issue now before Congress. We declare our conviction that this measure is safe and constructive and that it is the first direct step in the reduction of living costs." We believe in the merits of the plan of control as expressing the fundamental truth of democracy. EQUAL SUFFRAGE BENEFITS. Coventry Woman Reads Paper at County W. C. T. U. Convention. ; Mrs. Pearl " "Keeler of Coventry read the following paper on "What Has Been Accomplished Through Suffrage in Regard to Child Welfare and Health," at the county conven tion of the W. C. T. U. held at Brownington. . ; 3 w It is now generally accepted that that legislation has proved wholly beneficent which hap- during the past half century afforded to women and girls their present wide-spread op portunity for education. As a result of this far-reaching movement there is present in the community an ele ment of distinctive intelligence avail able for social and civic usefulness such as never before existed. - Many think that the emancipation of woman will lessen poverty and through this war this is already a certainty in England) In .America poverty is in nine states made an excuse for exploiting the child, by cutting, short' his education and al lowing him to enter industry below the age set for other children. Okla homa,' Ohio and Montana provide scholarships for this group of chil dren instead of ji riving them prema turely into industry. Tn Now York in 1918. Mavor Hv- land proposed abolition of the Child per cent TTvon'pnp Rnrsau anions- other branch- I In View es of the health department of New York City. : This was protested at once by the Woman Suffrage party of the city. That the vote in the hands of women is counted upon as an asset in just such civic crises as this was manifested when the Wom an's Municipal League a non-suffrage organization appealed to the women voters "to take a -decided stand against a step which means a useless loss of lives of children." Other cooperative groups of women, the City Federation of Women's clubs, Woman's City Club, Woman's Trade Union League, with almost every social and civic organization, declared against disturbing the health protecting "institutions in which New Yorkers take great and just pride. The agitation of the women's or ganizations rapidly spread to the physicians and the medical profes sion added its voice to those reaching the city hall. Heads of the New York Academy of Medicine and of the medical societies of New York and King counties united in ac claiming the preventive and con-; structive work which had been achieved by the health bureaus. "Do the parents of New York know what it would mean if the infant death rate were to rise from 89 per thou sand to 144 per thousand?" asked the physicians. As for the child hygiene bureau it has a record under Dr. Josephine Baker which is remarkable. It was founded in 1908. In-1910 it had in stituted 15 milk stations in the city to demonstrate the proper feeding of children. By 1917 the bureau had raised the total number of milk sta tions to 60, serving 60,000 children. During the same period the infant death rate had fallen steadily. By 1917 it stood at 88.8 per thousand, the lowest in any. large city of the world. This is not all the Child Hygiene bureau had done under Dr. Baker. It had instituted preventative medical inspection in the schools. It had reg ulated the profession of midwives. ; In his proposed change, Mayor Hy- iana naa chanced upon the very things in which women are tremen dously interested, in which, it might be said, they had specialized. No mere technicality - of bureaucratic management will weigh with them as against the welfare of childhood. These enfranchised women will stand guard California and Kansas are equal suf frage states. In Chicago before women got the ballot there was no efficient system of garbage disposal. In the stock yards district the garbage was simp ly dumped by the city and left to rot with the result that babies died like flies. For years the women had tried to get the nuisance abated but with out success. As son as the suffrage bill passed the legislature the mat ter was taken up in earnest by the city government. , .The publications of the Children s Bureau at Washington, D. C, show that the lowest infant death rate m the world is in New Zealand where women have voted for 26 years and where government aid and instruc tion is given to mothers even in the remotest country districts. It has been impossible to compile accurate statistics in foreign coun tries since the beginning of the Great War, but before that in seven coun tries which had the lowest infant death rates women have at least the municipal vote, and in two, Norway and Australia, they have ; full suf frage. - - According to the latest figures compiled by the New York Milk committee of all the cities in the United States ' with the . lowest in fant death rates, the equal suffrage cities average 66 per cent, while the male ' suffrage- cities average 100.7 of these facts it seems to be shown conclusively that when women vote thev are better able to tend to their business the health of their children. ' PRESS CLIPPINGS A One Man Town. (Rutland Herald) Somerset, having been reduced e voter, presents to a municipal and legislative problem of considerable interest. Query: Will Burt Leonard, who must hold all the municipal of fices, also elect himself to Montpe her and be in a position to vote as many times as Rutland city's repre sentative, who represents 15,000 peo ple, of whom at least 4000 or 5000 must be voters? Article X. (The Dearborn (Mich.) Independent) Senators declare that never, no never, will they approve Article 10 of the League of Nations without . a reservation to the effect that we can not be drawn into war without the consent of congress. The Constitu tion of the United States says we cannot go into war without the con sent of congress; the men drawing up the Covenant understood that and nowhere tried to commit us to de clare or go to war without an act of Congress. Article 10 does not com mit us to war with or without Con- gress. it merely says tnat n one nation tries to grab the land of an other the council of the League of Nations "shall advise" as to the means of making the one respect the rights of the other. The council ad vises, then Congress does as it sees fit. A "reservation" to that effect could do no harm, but it seems use less. It is like declaring that snow is white. Friendship and Freedom.
