MISS VALENTINE
SPEAKS TO d. A. r.
State Vice Regent Guest of Brattleboro
Chapter Group of Songs Rem
dered by Mrs. F. E. Barber.

In regular meeting last evening in
the Unitarian parish house Brattleboro
chapter, D. A. R., voted to send $40 to
usually sent. The chapter also voted
to have a copy of the constitution of the
United States framed and presented to
the American Legion, and to buy a
Legion flag to present to Brattleboro
post, No. ). from the d. A. r. One new
member was voted into the chapter. The
regent spoke of Goodspeed's genealogy,
which would be found useful to members
of the chapter in looking up ancestors.
Following the business meeting the
program included a group of songs rem
dered in a pleasing way by Mrs. Frank f.
Barber, accompanied at the piano by
Mrs. Jenness Dalton, and a talk on
Americanization by Miss Jennie VaIen-
tine of Bennington, state vice regent of
the ID. A. r. In speaking of American
ization Miss Valentine said it was not
so much what we can do as what we
have not done to make American citizens
of the foreigners who come to this coun-
try. She referred to the way they have
been allowed to come in and make their
homes as their homes are in their native
lands, they have been allowed churches
with services in their own tongue and
children have been taught their native
language. A remedy for this, she de-
elared, would be the patriotic education
of the children, which would help make
up in part for what we have not done
heretofore.
A social time was then enjoyed, in
which refreshments, including Smith col
lege mullins, were served.

START REFORM IN WASHINGTON
Governor Lowden Says That Is Place
to Begin Economy.

NEW YORK, March Hollow to
raise by taxation revenue sufficient to
pay the expenditures of government
without checking or destroying legiti-
mate business, was termed a ''live is
sue' by Governor Frank o. Lowden of
Illinois, candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination, speaking here
last night.
He declared the estimates submitted
by the federal departments for the en-
suing fiscal year, are more than four
times those submitted during the war
and that the government must pursue
strict business policy in the expendi-
lures eff it is to avoid the rocks of
bankruptcy
Gov. Lowden said in all the talk
about re-adjustment and reconstruc-
tion he would advise that the place
to begin reconstruction is at Washing
ton, if we would return to normal con-
ditions''
"That only can be done," he said
''by the application of business prin-
ciples, so that economy and efficiency
may be united in government, so that
it may perform the functions for which
it was designed without continuing to
be a burden upon the enterprises and
industries of this country When re-
form has begun there, its influence wi1l
begin to radiate to the remotest corner
of our republic. !"

letter continued
First | am an independent progressive
III the issue before us today. | think that
at this time the issues before the country
transcend partisanship. 1t is well known
that | was progressive Republican before
the war, and, | think rightly, a non-parti,
san during my war service. The issues
confronting US are now under considera-
ton and the alignment upon them has not
yet been made by the great parties. |

group in the Republican party as | do to

Second, | am not seeking public office

tIons | do not want public Office [ can
not prevent any citizen or group of citi-
zens from agltatlng that / should accept
public office but | cannot conscientiously
participate In any organization to that
end.
Third, | hope to have the affection OF
my countrymen, but my ambition is to re
main a common citizen, ready to engage
in team-play with any organization and
leadership that has for its objective the
consummation and maintenance of great

Fourth, you and your friends have in
sisted that / should undertake to organize
propaganda for myself by entering into
competition for nomination by a great
party Aside from the reasons mentioned
above, this implies entry upon road o
self-seeking, whereas my view is that
should agitate for the issues, not for my
self-seeking, whereas my view is that
ganization without issues is simply office
hunting without regard to public service
FINALLY, | am not SO ignorant as no

of $4,000
SECURED DIVORCE
LAST NOVEMBER
Says Bolster wickedly Contrived TO In
jure Him and by Artful Means Cor
rupted Wife's Mind = Plaintiff For
merly in 103d Infantry.

Alleging alienation of his wife's affec-
tions, Howard A. Thayer of Brattleboro
has just filed in the Windham county
court a suit for damages of $1,000 against
Lyle Bolster of Londonderry. The papers
are from the Office of Attorney E. W.
Gibson, and the suit is returnable at the
April term of court.
Mr.. Thayer was soldier in the World
war, serving in the lO3d infantry, and is
now employed by the Roberts Auto Co.
He was granted divorce late last No.
vember.
The divorced wife of the plaintiff was
Mildred o. Wilder, and they were mar
ried Oct. /, 1917. Bolster is employed
in Z. A. Wilder's store in the village Of
Londonderry.
The plaintiff claims that Bolster, wick
edly contriving to injure him and deprive
him of the fellowship and assistance of
his wife, unlawfully visited Mrs. Thayer
Jan. 1, 1918, at Londonderry and at other
times and places and by artful means
corrupted her mind and destroyed her
affections for her husband.
BY reason of these unlawful acts the
plaintiff saws his wife left him and his
house and has remained apart from him
ever since.
