70 The Friends Of temperance
Please take notice, that G. S. Els
worth, who. until few months ago,
was one of the lecturer for the Wiscon-
sin Prohibitory Amendment Associa-
ton, is no longer an authorized or re-
cognized lecturer for either the above
Association or for the Prohibition party.
The said G. S. Ellsworth has, by his
actions, forfeited the confidence of
those who have hitherto sustained and
supported him in his work. and all
persons are hereby warned against
trusting him on the strength of any
letters or recommendations he has
heretofore received from us or either of
us.
This action is taken by the advice,
and at the request of many true friends
of temperance, who. while they are
anxious to encourage and sustain every
honest, truthful, upright worker in the
temperance field, are equally anxious
to protect all persons against those who
would mislead or defraud them, or in
jure the great cause for the success of
which we are all striving.

DEATH OF ISAAC HODGEs:- news
of the death of Mr.. Isaac Hodges of
Platteyile came to us too late for publi-
cation last week Although his physi-
cal condition had been known for some
time to be critical. the announcement
of his death was, as is always the case,
quite startling. He passed away on
Tuesday evening. the Bird, and was toll
lowed to his last resting place on Thurs
day. He would have been IS years old
the 10th Of next May. We are inebted
to the Witness for the following facts
concerning his life: He was born in
St. Louis County, Mo. Having lost his
parents when mere boy he was obliged
to make his own way in the world. lie
LETT st. Louis on y keel boat working
his passage, and arrived at Galena, Ill.
in April, 1927. During the first month,
with others, he occupied an Indian hut
on Small pox creek, hauling logs Used
fov house building. He came to Platte
Vile in 1929 and for awhile engaged in
smelling, with Indifferent success. In
1871 he embarked ia the mercantile
trade and was so successful that he re-
tired from business in 1861. During
the war he devoted almost his whole
time to securing from the state the pay
due war widows. In 1866. in company
with Lambert MeCarn he started bank,
the firm being Hodges & McCarn. The
latter diving in 1870, the bank was con-
timed under the name of |. Hodges &
Co The nature of Mr. Hodges bust
mess troubles since the collapse of his
bank about a year ago, are too well
known to require any comment from
ms but we can do no less than believe
that although charged with some irreg-
nlarities. his intentions were honest.
His case has now gone to an Upper
Cour,. and we feel that death VIII be TO
him "a happy issue out of all his az
flications.

EDUCATION FOR WoMEN.-We all
admit that an educated man has moro
power to accomplish something in the
world than he would have without his
education. Is this not equally true of
women9 1t is claimed by many that
women have as much intellect as men.
Granting this to be true, only think of
the vast stock of womanly intellect 90
ing to waste in defiance of every law Of
political economy. Think of the LARGE
number OF girls who might make their
lives worth living, if they would only
devote the time and energy to self i'm.
provement that is now given to amuse-
ments. The necessity of certain de-
gree of education for one who is to
teach, or in any way maintain herself.
can readily be seen. Many girls never
expect to do that; but will not education
help them to fill any position betterp
Is not the need of it greater when one
assumes greater responsibilities? What
KIND OF a companion will the YOUNG
woman be who has thought of notbino
during her life more serious than her
own pleasure? If women were able
and willing to understand monetary
affairs, many would not be so extraya-
giant as they now are; the husband who
manages the business without and the
wife who administers the business with.
10 should be equal partners. Women
who understand the physical laws OF
humanity are better enabled to care for
those dependent on them. Education
VIII aid in becoming true ronaen-no-
bic, sensitive and refined. 1t will
broaden knowledge of right and wrong
and increase the power to enjoy life.
Every one has a work to do; and until
women are sufficiently educated in the
work she has to do, what it contains of
power to help herself and those for
whom it is done, she has not reached
her highest value. In the neglect of
this she neglects duty to herself and
humanity. - Contributed.
