Wedding CoIIed "Sin"

LONDON, Dec. 10 (IN.SO.-
Marriage between Edward VIII as
King and Mrs. Wallis Warfield
Simpson would have been a death
blow to the British Empire, the Of.
ficial newspaper of the Church of
England declared today. It said:
"If Parliament agreed to the
King marrying a woman who al
ready has two husbands alive,
the British Empire would have
received its death sentence.
"The Kings heart-rending pro-
pOsal IA mOrganatic unfOn)
would have been Q sin against
God"

King Edwards remuneration of
his throne for the woman he
loved had Washington a-flutter
today-along with the rest of the
world.
No official cognizance was taken
of it, of course, for obvious rea-
sons, but from the diplomatic
fronts of Massachusetts, Avenue
and Sixteenth Street to the cap
ital's alleys and by-ways everyone
was talking about it. And most
of the comment was laudatory of
the independent young monarch
who has made a moVie-like finish
to his colorful career
To the thousands Of girls who

ments the departing King is al
most, if not quite, a hero.
Action Means Little
The frock-coated official side of
washington considered the matter
in the light of the effect it may
have on world events. Except that
British prestige and influence per
haps may have been somewhat
diminished, the opinion was uni
versal that Edwards abdication
means little in the field of world
affairs.
British monarchs have played
little part in their country's for
eign affairs for many years, and
it matters little, in a strictly Off
cial sense, who occupies the
throne. Officially, washington is
more interested in who occupies
the premiership or the foreign of.

Speeders Of Old

The traffic problem especially IN our larger CT
ties long been acute and added to the congestion
which appears unavoidable is the menace of the in
attentive driver and the wful speeder.
But should not imagine that similar problems
did not city jewellers of the past. In ed
torial which appeared in the New York Mirror in the
year 1884, the reckless Broadway bus drivers were
severely criticized for their disregard of life and
limb. 1t said:
The inconvenience and danger of this is no less
felt by those who ride than by those who walk. 1t
has not only become dangerous to cross Broadway on
foot but persons who venture trust themselves in
side of these carriages run the risk of having
their brains turned by the rapidity of the motion
Not only was fear expressed for the safety OF
pedestrians but the writer of that editorial appears
to believed that too rapid speed would scramble
the very brains inside ones Uranium

plane at the rate of than five miles per minute

About 1:3O o'clock this afternoon
a leak was discovered at the ex-
treme south end of the mill dam,
which enlarged so rapidly that it
quickly got away from mill work
ers and in a few minutes was
washing a great hole in the south
ern pier. The ringing of the fire
bell brought great throng of men
and teams. Timbers and bales of
straw were hurriedly dumped into
the leak and as soon as bags and
sand could be procured a hundred
men went to work building a Golfer
dam across the edge of the dam. At
8 o'clock this afternoon the work
ing force had been increased to 200
men and at that time there seemed
every assurance that the leak would
be stopped and the dam saved.
Bridge and banks were lined with
spectators.
Roy Scott, who is now located at
jamestown, N. D., where he is en-
ployed in a hardware store, visited

Premier Aberhart has substituted

dit scheme out in Alberta, Canada.
These scrip dollars, issued by the
government, will be redeemed at
the end Of 104 weeks, the holder of
the scrip being required to affix a
one cent stamp each week. The gov
eminent seals the stamps and the
proceeds of these stamp sales will
be used to retire the scrip at matur-
ity. Hence and therefore the money
costs the government nothing, and
it's bills will be paid without taxa
ton or borrowing. Aberhart and
his aides probably had lot of fun
explaining to the people just how
they were going to solve this diff
cult money problem by so simple a
device. And it probably will be fun
for a while, buying the stamps and
exchanging the new currency. AS
long as the novelty lasts the pro-
cedure isn't going to be particular
ly painful. But after a while the
people are going to discover that
the scheme is just another way of
collecting sales tax after all, and
a rather cumbersome one at that.
So instead of getting the monthly
social credit dividends which were
promised to them, the people of AL
berta find themselves with another
tax to pay. And that is the way
these something for nothing
schemes generally work out.-Thief
