The Position of the Grange.

Mr.. Editor: Miss Elizabeth r.. Bur
nell of Hartford, an anti suffragist, is
claiming that she has personally visit
ed many oranges in this state and has
never found but the smallest fraction
of its members favoring suffrage. She
goes on to say that the resolutions IF
the oranges, churches and clubs are
of votes for women selecting delegates
and rushing the matter through with
out any proper Endorsement.
AS lecturer of the Putnam grana e,
and as member OF the National
grange l protest against such state
ment being made about the Connecti-
cut State grange. and it's Endorsement
of woman suffrage was present at

THE COST OF WAR.

Right at the start, following the re-
fusal to submit to the German disre-
gard for the provisions of international
law and the rights of neutral nations,
this country is faced with the problem
of financing the part which 1t is go
German activities. There can be no
question but what this country has
the means and the resources with
which to fight for 81 successful termi-
nation of the war. to bring about the
end of the Hohenzollerns and to es-
tablish democracy and liberty through
out the world. but it must decide how
these are going to be assembled that
the burden will be thoroughly and pro-
perly distributed. and careful consid-
Grafton must therefore be given to the
apportionment.
From the presidents address and
from the policy advocated by certain
leaders it is apparent that there will
be a substantial increase in the fed
eral taxes. This may be done by the
doubling of existing taxes, the laying
of new and the broadening Of other
revenue producing methods. There
can be no question but what the present
generation will bear a heavy expense
but the fight which this country
will make will not be for the people
OF To-Day alone out Tor those In the
future and it is therefore most GER
tain that a large part OF the financial
aid which is needed, both for the uses
of the government and for the extern
sion of assistance to the entente pow
ers, will be secured through large
loans. The richest nation in the world
will have no trouble in securing the
backing that it requires and 1t should
not, even though it requires a little
time to determine just what methods
are going to be used TO obtain it

-vERMoNr's NEW MARRIAGE LAW

Not only Vermont but the whole of
New England has reason to be graft
fed at the action which has been taken
by the Green Mountain state in pass
ing a law which makes it necessary
for those from out of the state seek
ing marriage licenses to wait five days
after making application before they
can be secured.
This is a law which exists today in
a number of the New England states
and each of them has been brought to
the realization of the wisdom of such
legislation for the same reason that
Vermont has. In order to bring about
a regulation of the marriages one state
after another has adopted this or a
similar law. Immediately thereafter
those who were unwilling to abide by
its provisions sc: about to find some
method of getting around it and in
rvariably aid was furnished by the
laws of an adjacent state. The result
has been that almost all of the New
England states have had their Gretna
Greens at one time or another. Yer
mont has gone through its experience
with the result that it has now called
halt thereon and couples who are
unwilling to respect the law of their
Nown state can find no solace in the
free and easy Vermont provisions.
Some time ago an effort was made
to have the states in this section of
tho country adopt uniform laws not
only in regard 10 marriages but in re-
gard to other matters about which
there had been too much freedom. 1t
failed to get the consideration that it
deserved, but the continuance of the
old laws has gradually brought them
ITO a realization of the excellent pur-
poses that were back of II for the
blocking OF evil. and whenever it Is
again urged it will undoubtedly get
proper attention.

OBEY THE LAW, KEEP MUM.

Some time ago the announcement

THE LATEST IN LAMP SHADES.

While the simple shirred silk shade
and that of cretonne cannot be criti-
cised if they harmonic with the fur
nishing scheme of a room, they are
inclined to become tiresome if one
has them in every room in the house.
Thus new lampshades are Appearing
every now and then to vary the nCE-
otony.
Perhaps one Of the prettiest styles
is the paper shade made perfectly
plain and round from a circular piece
of heavy Japanese PAPER or board.
These paper shades are simply paint
ed to match the bowl or vase of the
lampstand and are usually used with
the pottery base. Occasionally they
appear with a wooden standard and
are in good taste when this used.
Brass or bronze bowl lamps are also
provided with these paper shades
When the shade is left in the natural
parchment color the light diffused
therefrom is apt to be very mellow
and inviting looking.

MORE COUNTRIES IN THE wAR.

The action of congress in declaring
q state of war with Germany has been
followed with deep interest by many
Of the republics in the western hem

Panama have already taken similar
action and there are indications that
Brazil will do likewise
In the case of Cuba and Panama
there may be no real grievance from
the loss of lives or the destruction of
property but there is no question but
what they understand that if Germany
will disregard the rights of the United
States and other neutrals it-would
have no compunction about doing the
same to them whenever il would be

lies are doubtless moved by their ~obe

Always mend your stockings on the
wrong side and do not begin too close
to the hole. Use small stitches and at
the end of each line leave a loop which
will allow for shrinking. Make each
line of stitches a little longer than
the preceding line until you reach the
center of the hole. when the number
of stitches should be decreased. In
this manner YOU viii have diamond
