We confess that we know little
about railroad matters, but what little
we do know, gathered from reading
reports of the different roads of their
receipts and expenditures, it would
seem that they should have, and that
speedily, the rate increase they ask
for, only 3 per cent. 1t is small
thing to the shipper, but in the ag-
grogate a big thing for the roads.
The Interstate commerce commission
has had this question before it for sew
eral years, we believe, and seem to
have been dilly-dallying along. Let
the roads have the increase. They
promise better wages to their en-
ployes, safer and better traffic, if
granted the increase. Let them have
it, we say, we believe if the question
were put to a vote of the people it
would carry by a big majority.
Since the above was put in type tho
dispatches state that 5 per cent. in
crease has been allowed. This means
az increase of about $50,OO0,O0O per
year to Eastern railroads. Now, "on

THE SPENDTHR|FT
At OPERA HOUSE
WEDNESDAY, AUG. l9

THE Spendthrift" which ran for
five months at the Hudson Theatre.
New York and which will appear at
the Belding Opera House, Wednesday
evening. August 10, is a play that ap-
peals because ii hits home in whole
hearted, humorous and healthy way
1t tells the story of the wreck of a
family's happiness, brought about by
the divergence of thought and the
different paths followed in the pur
suit of happiness by a husband and
wife. 1t is a story of not one home,
but of many. Richard Ward is a man
of working, saving and home-loving
instincts. His wife longs for the
luxuries and in his love for her and
his efforts to provide her with them
he is kept grinding and toiling under
a mountain of debt which topples over
on him and he is bankrupt.
one of the most appealing points
i'm the play is while the wife's eX
travagance is dominant, it is brought
about in a great measure through her
sincere endeavor To provide her hus-
band with a home befitting the posi-
ton in life she believes him big
enough to occupy. When she
realizes that he is bankrupt she bor-
rows money in an effort TO save him
This move on her part leads to
dramatic situations. the unravellng
Of which has made The Spendthrift"
not only a problem play Of real life
to-day. with its motive an arraign-
ment Of puerile society life, but a
drama which thousands who have
seen it have declared strikes home
in a most impressive and interesting
way"

MARCUS KELLERMAN
GIVES HIS OPINION
Of EUROPEAN WAR
WAY THE AMERICAN PRESS
TREATS THE WAR

In an interview with Marcus A.
kellerman who appeared here on the
Chautauqua platform last Sunday. Mr.
Kellerman gave his views to the Ban
ner on the war situation in Europe at
this time.
Mr.. Kellerman while American
born, spent eight years in the Euro
pean countries in singing tours. He
is member OF the Royal Opera
House association and worked in the
association while abroad. A German
by birth he has repeatedly pleased the
Kaiser and his royal party with his
rare baritone voice.
Mr.. Kellerman says that he natural
ly syprpathizes with Germany because
of the fact that he is so we'll acquaint-
ed with the Royal family besides being
i'm sympathy as a countryman. Fur
ther than this he does not believe the
Germans at fault. He does not think
that the war will endure long. In his
opinion the German armies will make
two great marches which will become
the turning point of the war. One OF
these will be "a march into Paris and
the other into st. Petersburg. Keller
man believes that it will possibly be
six months before these moves will be
made but he is confident that such
action will be taken finally.
Being asked what he thought of the
newspaper reports being given out Mr..
Kellerman expressed himself as being
sadly disappointed with the way the
American press was handling the re-
ports. AS grounds for his opinion Mr..
Kellerman mentioned the fact that he
was receiving. every day. a German
paper direct from New York. In this
he secures the other side of the situa-
tion Reports of the Victories" says
he, "and of the German accomplish
ments are given but scant space in the
big American papers whereas the
news of the opposite side is displayed
in blazing headlines. The Kaiser is
naturally peaceable and peace loving
man and any efforts TO make him
responsible for melting the war are
lamentable To any one who knows
him. The papers are sadly at fault
for the manner they have allowed the
European war news To be played up
This has naturally caused the Ameri-
can people to form opinions and ideas
i'm regard to it that cannot help but be
pregnant with prejudice against a
peaceable nation.
Mr.. Kellerman has been with 'he
Redpath people for the past year and
will be booked on the winter courses
throughout the country the coming
winter He was frank To admit that
Ia
financial conditions for singers here
were far ahead Of those in Europe
He expects to return to Europe but
intends 10 wait until the belligerent
feeling subsidies over there.

RAILROAD BRIDGE At
BRICK YARD HILL
BEING REPAIRED

The railroad bridge over the river
near the brickyard hill is being re-

Workmen have been on the job for
about ten days. They are driving new
piling the entire length of the bridge,
where they are at all needed The
stringers are being removed and all
the understructure is being replaced
with new timbers. In fact almost the
entire bridge will be new when the
repair work is completed.
1t is quite interesting to watch the
bridge gang at work. The heavy tim
bers are grappled with large cant

place by "a large revolving derrick

ings the long mechanical arm holds
il in mid air until il swings free and
then the car cares il down the track
and throws il to one side of the track
with very little effort New timbers
are placed in position by the same
method The workmen move about
on the bridge, timbers with ease and
perfect poise, never mindful or fearing
the timbers' chains and ropes that
dangle over their heads.
At all times the work is kept intact
SO that train may be allowed to
cross the bridge by simply laying
few ties upon the skeleton work and
connecting the rails above them.
The work is not being done before
it is needed. Many of the piles and
other parts of the structure are SO
badly decayed that they dropped into
the waters of the river when being
torn up.
The Pere Marquette is doing con-
siderable repair work on it's lines in
Michigan that will greatly facilitate
service.
