II, avidit, with which the
Rutland Herald seized upon the
item in the Reforner telling about
Eugene Ferriter's long service as
crossing tender, at Brattleboro, to
show it was due to the system of
private control Of railroads is typi-
cal OF the arguments being used by
capitalistic papers, just now All
who know Mr.. Ferriter also know
the feeling of responsibility which
is part of his makeup The rail
way mail service has and does pro-
duce just as much feeling of respon-
sibility as the railway service has
done, but when one is ordered to
write an argument, he must needs
do so.

| The campaign for a fund OF So 600
for memorial monument to the dead
| OF the worlds war, TO be erected on the
plot In Riverside, that the City Fed
| GRAFTON OF womens Clubs is conduct
| ing In the county. Is moving, but NOV
| ing slowly. The committee In charge
| figures that II each person in the coun-
~ would give an average OF one penny
| the fund would be over subscribed and
enough would be raised to buy very
handsome memorial.
With this thought in mind the COM
mittee addresses the public In the fol-
| lowing communication:
The campaign for the memorial mon
ument for the boys is in progress
Have you given yet?
There were forty four boys who lied,
and there are $4,000 people in Marshall
county. IL every man, woman anu
child would give one penny for each
BOY who died the sum raised would be
lsl4.52O. almost a half moro than the
City Federation is asking.
For those who died abroad this will
be the only mark for their>graves. But
there are no graves here. No, that Is
one reason that the Tot was dedicated
| TO the boys They all gave their lives
| for us, whether at home or abroad,
and we do not want one name omitted.
| But have you thought Of the fathers
and mothers who. when they think OF
the resting place Of their loved ones
have to think Of far country Have
YOU talked with any OK these mothers
Can you think what II means no4 10
have even a little spot of earth around
which to center your memories:
Since the lot has been dedicated one
Of these mothers said, May / lay my
flowers on one spot eveeS time so that
| | can think my boy is there? For
some Of those mothers and fathers this
stone alone will. in their hearts. mark
| the resting place Of their sons.
A penny for each for the memorial
stone from each Of US. their kindred,
friends and neighbors does not seem
much. But there are families that can
not afford to pay It. There are those
| with a number Of little children where
| the income only meets the needs OF the
home. II you are richer in money than
children won't you pay the shares OF
some of these? Those children may
give a greater gift later. You know
| they were the children of a few years
| ago who fought this war Then there
are those who have given so much that
| a little is sacrifice.
Il would so like to help. one woman
| said wistfully. but our three sons are
still in service. When they come back
we will be more able 20 give Having
offered so much how small any sum Of
money looks. Maybe some one who
! had no sons TO go, or where some are
safe at home. would like, 10 give more
| to make up their share.
There are q few,'a very few, VINO do
rot want to give.
I'VE gave TO the Red Cross and

At the Casino.

Surprising in importance most NOV
ing pictures is the feature film of, The
objectionable Sin" Harry Garson's
epic photoplay, starring Blanche Sweet,
showing at the Casino for the balance
Of the week.
The objectionable Sin is one of
the most pretentious screen plays ever
produced, showing the cruelties of the
Hun and how the Belgium people were
driven from their homes in the early
years of the war. The play, was taken
from the powerful story OF the same
name, written by Major Rupert
Hughes. which first appeared in the
Red Book and was later published in
book form. The story has been spok-
en- Of as one Of the most powerful tales
of love and adventure which has been
written around the world war.
Lovers Of Blanche Sweet will be in
teresred in the work she did in making
success Of the picture. Miss Sweet
played other similar parts in Hearts
yof the World" and Intolerance" Miss
Sweet is supported by Matt Moore and
Wallace Berry, who help to make the
play interesting.
The objectionable Sin" is the story
of young girl blanche Sweet) who
came to this country after she had been
driven from her home in Belgium, by
Hun officers. While walking / along
| the street she is overcome by weakness
| and is found by a medical teacher of a
small college. He takes her to his
| home and helps her to regain her
strength. Later he finds a.letter that
| she had written to her sister and the
| story she told in the letter was very
pitiful. She told Of how they had been
loaded in box cars and shipped out OF
belgium, all nearly starving. After
reading the letter, the medical teach.

Bigamous Marriages
On The Increase In
The United Kingdom

London. Aug. 2o.-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press)-1ncrease
in bigamous marriages throughout the
United Kingdom. much more pro-
nounced since the end Of the war, Is
causing grave concern, and there is a
growing disposition to treat bigamy as
a venial offence.
Sir Bernard Mallet, the registrar
general, is credited with the statement
that English marriage laws afford less
security against bigamy than the laws
OF almost any other civilized state.
His department has prepared pro-
posals for their amendment, but moth
ing has been done to carry them in
to effect. A new act of parliament is
necessary. and Sir Bernard suggests as
a, preliminary hat some plan be out
lined by which accurate information
concerning the principals in a pro-
posed marriage nay be obtained by
the competent authorities before the
ceremony can be performed.
For marriage by license in England
it is required that both parties make
solemn declaration that they know OF
no impeachment to their Llnion. that
they have resided for fifteen days in
the district. and. if they are minors,
the consent of guardian or parents
has been obtained. But no solemn
declaration is required for such ma
ter1al particulars are name, condition
as to marriage, age. rank and resi-
dence.

British Business
Men Note Strides The
u. S. Makes In Germany

Cologne, Sept. 17.-British business
men have taken notice of the strides
made by Americans in acquiring trade
in Germany. At a meeting in Cologne
recently of directors of the British
Chamber of Commerce for Germany,
C. Knott, Of London, said:
America has more than LOO
Chambers of Commerce IN all parts of
the world. and these associated
chambers some time ago sen a dele
cation to Europe which visited
Cologne and Berlin and departed with
German orders in fabulous amounts.
The goods are to be delivered at once
on three years credit. In this way
the United States is securing the lions
share Of Germany's import trade.
Such is the result of the cooperation
of their Chambers Of Commerce. l
see no reason why British Chambers
of Commerce cannot employ such
methods"
