LETTERS TO, THE
EDITOR
Thinks Women Can Mark Ballots.

Editor, Barre Times: May / have
space for few words in your valued
papers There is much said for and
against women's voting, yet there are
many women in our cities and towns
doing business, filling responsible 20.
sitions which their education has fitted
them for. II they are lifted for bust
ness, why are they not capable OF vot
ing While, on the other hand, how
many men there are that have to call
for assistance in marking their ballot.
A man who has no education in his own
language, or in any other. is no more ca :
pahle to vote than woman in like con
dition.
A man can vote Just because he 10 a
man, or past the prescribed q years Of
age. No matter If he doesn't know
where to mark his cross only as it is
pointed out to him, he can go home with
the satisfaction in his heart that he
voted, yet not knowing whether he voted
for the man he wanted to or not.
In my opinion, If women are capable
of doing business in business they are
capable of voting, if they can mark their
ballot without assistance
A Non voter.

relations with Germany. 1t was sim
pie, straight forward assertion of fealty
to the nation, breathing the spirit OF 10y
atty and offering the states full share OF
support in the most trying situation in
recent years. Vermont's record Of par
ticipation in the wars for the national
welfare is the basis Of reliance in the
present promise. Vermont never has
failed, Vermont never win fail the repub-
lie. Yet Vermont hopes, as do all the
states. that it will not be necessary to
give that last full measure of sacrifice in
actual conflict. But il the need comes,
Vermont will be there.

ALL SHOULD BE AMERICANS NOW

! ALL SHOULD BE AMERICANS NOW
There are several millions of American
citizens OF German descent scattered
/ throughout the United States. They are
Industrious, law-abiding, patriotic citi-
zens of the nation. ranking as high in
| their devotion as the mass of the citi-
zenry of the United States. During the
two and one-half years of the progress
of the great war their sympathies nat
urally turned to the land from which
they came--it would have been per.
version of human affection had they not
felt certain warmth of feeling for Ger
many. 1t would have been as odd for
them to remain perfectly neutral in
thought as it would have been odd for
men of English birth to forego their in
cinations toward the entente allies side.
So during these two and one half years,
the very large percentage Of the so-ealled
German Americans, or American Ger
mans preferably, have been hoping that
the side in which their fatherland was
tolerant American spirit permitted them
to take that view of the situation, as it
permitted the British. Americans to side
With the entente allies Now, however,
there has come change, violent change
of the situation. No longer il the nation
of their adoption silent onlooker at
the struggle. Aggressions and threat
ened aggressions against the rights Of
American people and American interests
have forced the United States govern
ment to take sharp issue with Germany,
even to the extent Of the severing OF
diplomatic relations, and possibly OF open
declaration of war. No longer can the
loyal American look ut the situation
with the eyes of German or even of
German sympathizer. He must be an
American citizen through and through, or
else forfeit his moral right to the proud
distinction Of being an American citizen. !
Through no fault of our own. the United |
States finds itself virtually aligned with
the side which is opposed to Germany
and on that side we must stand. There
fore, ii is the duty and the privilege OF
all good citizens TO rally TO the support
Of the government in Washington, to give
moral strength to the righteous cause
which it represents and to maintain the
honor and dignity Of the nation We
feel confident that the vast majority of
American citizens Of Germanie descent
will devotedly join in with their fellows
in upholding the American government.
Already some of their leaders in various
parts of the United States have made ex
Of their loyalty to the United
States and Of their devotion to its inter
asts, and their action will no doubt have

Word was received here yesterday
by F. Peterson, secretary of the Cigar

short time ago and went to California
to seek a new location.
He is survived by his wife and a
young daughter, as well as his par
