the Home Secretary with resolutions
adopted at these meetings asking for
Mormon expulsion, placing signed
statements before him. The news

and the Archbishop OF Canterbury and
his Under Bishops We're our strongest
supporters in asking the Government
to make thorough investigation. Mr..
Winston Churchill wrote me through
his secretary, J. +. Moylan. that in
vestigations were being made through
the foreign office of the American
Ambassador and through The police
forces all over England. We were
informed at the Home Office that
police reports confirmed the cases
laid before the Home Secretary in
affidavit form and that Mr.. Churchill
was deferring action until he should
receive a reply from the American
Government. What the reply was I

THE WAR DEBTS.

The May circular Of the National City
Bank gives some interesting facts regard
ing the present situation in European
finance, particularly that of the belliger-
ents. 1t says the war loans to date stand
as follows: Great Britain, $2,525, 100000;
France, 81 ,SO2, 100000; Russia, 81 ,O65,-
100000; Germany, S33, 491 100000, and
Austria Hungary, S73O,O00,0OO, a total of
9,613, 100000
The war has been running only nine
months and there is no indication of its
cessation until after a summer campaign
has been fought The huge Indebtedness
already contracted, increasing by millions
every day, viii be the burden placed upon
these exhausted countries after peace has
been declared. More than one generation,
perhaps more than two generations will
be ground down by taxes to pay for this
military exploitation. One question of
the future is how capital will be supplied
for trade after it returns to normal chan
nels. This question viii become acute in the
United States The demand from abroad
for money will affect interest rates here
and it will be no easy matter to obtain
capital to finance the enterprises in this
country at moderate rates The industry
of the whole world will be handicapped
for years by this European tragedy

THINK 1T OVER.

Only a few days ago many people in
Brattleboro and other parts of Yer
mont received in their mail a letter
from one of the great New York mail
order houses, enclosing booklet dc
scriptive of a new building recently
erected by that concern.
This new building, which including
the clock tower stands Is stories high,
is the largest steel reinforced concrete
structure in the world. 1t is only one
of several large buildings occupied by
this individual mail order firm, and it
shows in emphatic style the scope of
the mail order house and the great
growth of its business.
If this house can afford to lay out
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
the construction of such building as
this, in addition to paying big annual
| dividends on all outstanding stock, a
moment S reflection will convince any
body that someone has to pay the bills
Where is the money coming from that
makes this thing possible? Is it out OF
the pockets of New York people, who
fdFaw all the benefits, if there are any
other than taxation, from the presence
of such house in their midst2
! This particular house is one of th'
big catalogue concerns. There is ;
huge four-pouud catalogue issued b,
this company in thousands of Vernon
homes. It is the mail order catalogue
that has been responsible for the in
crease in the business of this concern
and the people of Vermont, who hav
ordered material from the concern hav
helped to pay for this magnifieen
| block, distinct addition to New Yor
city, and something that gives Vel
| mont nothing in return for its assist
/ ance.
There are, roughly speaking, NOR
i than 100000 people in this state. Man
/ of them are well to do. Many MOI
II are fairly well off, and most all of thel
are reasonably prosperous, compared
the per capita wealth of other comm
mites.
Figuring that it costs each OF Il
| residents Of this state an average I
| dollar a day to provide themselv'
| with the necessities of life-and tn
| is low average-we find that $4,000
! is spent daily for necessities alone.

fore Uncle Sam viii decide to make our

If it were as easy to make our neutral
ity more effective as it is to write such
editorial paragraphs as this, Uncle Sam
would have a snap. Let every editor who
feels the impulse to dash off this stuff,
ask himself a few questions: "How much

years will / promise to devote to a war
with Germany? Am | willing to go anC

when it becomes a personal matter.

People who have noted the expert testi-
mony, which often makes tangle of cases
at law, viii appreciate the story recently
told by Chanucey NJ. Depew. In 1877
Mr. Depew held for some days at $4,000
an option on a sixth interest in the Bell
telephone. He consulted the most famous
telegraph expert in the country who adj
vised him to drop it, saying, 1T is a toy
and a commercial fake" If Mr.. Depew
had followed his own faith in the enter
prise he would today be hundred mil
lionaire Mr. Depew says he has always
lost money in following the advice of ex-
perts, adding: They are governed by
their data and lack Imagination, and
without imagination all things not demon
strated to them are worthless"

within bounds, according to the Herald
and News The trustees have been di-
rected to complain to the secretary of
state and demand the revocation of the
operating license of any motor vehicle
driver who exceeds speed of 10 miles
an hour through the streets of the village.
The law fixes the maximum speed limit
within a village at 10 miles and trustees
may and in some cases do reduce it to
eight or FIVE miles. Ten miles an hour is
very slow for an automobile and in prac-
tice it is almost impossible to keep a car
going comfortably on high gear at that
speed Fifteen miles is fast enough for
anyone to drive within a village, yet not
so fast that the car is beyond easy control
The Randolph expedient does not nullify
the law Prosecutions under it may be
made just the same But the idea is to
give the car driver all his proper privi-
leges and stop there.

Another straw which seems to indicate
the direction Of the wind is the notice,
issued yesterday, that all citizens of Ger
many, Austria-Hmgary, and Turkey, as
well as the naturalized citizens from these
countries, in the United States, are to be
refused passages in all Italian steamers
sailing from the States. This order is un-
questionably wholesale one as it refers
without exception, to males and females,
as well as to doctors and nurses. The
reason, ostensibly, given is the conduct OF
Germany in sinking the Lusitania, but
that would appear to be not the whole
truth.

ling that inspires any degree of confidence

Might Exhibit Vermont Cattle only

(St. Johnsbury IaIedOnlan.1
There seems to be considerable doubt
whether cattle exhibitions will be held at
the fairs this fall on account OF the order
of Fred L. Davis, state cattle commission
err that only cattle from Vermont, north
ern New Hampshire and Maine will be
allowed to enter Vermont for exhibition
This is precaution against the exposure
to the foot and mouth disease in Massa-
chusetts and other states and seems a
wise move Vermont has too large cattle
interests to expose them to any such dan
ger However, if there is no outbreak OF
the disease in the state Vermont cattle
owners might get up a cattle show that
would equal anything yet shown in Yer
mont.

Valley fair officials should not lose heart
at the prospect of fair without any
cattle, sheep or swine While the exhib-
its of these varieties of livestock always
have formed considerable and commend
able portion of the local show they have
not been all there was to it by any
means. Furthermore, it is a fact that in
recent years a change in the interests of
fair visitors has been noted; they have
seemed to care less for exhibits of a pure
" agricultural nature and to have de-
manded more in the way of amusement
and entertainment This is probably due
to the fact that boys and girls, as well as
grownups from sections where farming
IS the chief occupation are DESTROYS OF see
ing something different when out for a
holiday, and while in general this tendency
does not augur well for the educational
influence of fairs in the future it is some
thing for which fair associations may be
thankful in this foot and mouth disease
season.
